CHANGED Ills MIND.
A Massachusetts Man In II Virginia
Black Belt.

~ 4uah III
Black Belt.
Petersburg, Va. cor baltimore Sun.
A cultivated Virginian who has many
friends among the scholars and literary
men OF the North spent an evening not
so long since at famous Boston club.
The conversation turned upon the alleged
suppression of the negro vote in the
South. The Ni-einian is a Democrat.
His Boston club friends were for the
most part Republicans. He was asked
whether, as charged, the negro ballots
are not CO united. lie replied that of his
own personal knowledge he could net
say that the negro vote is suppressed,
but that il is only fair to assume that in
communities in which the negroes out.
number the whites, but in which, never
thcless. the Democrats are in control,
methods must b. used that practically
amount to a suppression OF the negro
vote. He then attempted to justify the
suppression upun the ground that tie
negro is incapable of administering gov
ernmcnt.
Among the Bostonians who took part
in the discussion was a gentleman who
holds high position as LAWYER and a
man OF letters. He, OF course, argued as
the average Massachusetts man gener-
allv arpu s. that no condition of affairs
would justify the suppression of the lie.
gto vote; that it was morally wrong.
Not long after this symposium the
| Boston lawyer and man OF letters came
/ to Petersburg and was the guest of his
| Nrginian friend whom he had lectured
upon the evils OF vote suppression. He
came to look over the battlc-h fields
around the city, hut he also found tim,

II Was blessing In Disguise. 1t Now

From the Wilmington Star.
While cotton kept up to seven or eight
cents there was but little effort made to
raise home supplies; andit was to the only
downward tendency year after year that
forced the planters to put their thiuk'
ing caps or, resulting in the new d,.
parture and more general effort 10

Lccessary tor the plantation which
could be raised on it. Here is one OF the
blessings. one that came bv compulsion,
it is true, but one the extent OF which
has as yet been only partially telt. 1t
will not be fully felt until diversified farm
ing becomes the rule instead of the excep-
tion, and it will be a rare thing to find
the Southern planter who will depend
upon another State or upon neighbor
tor the ioodstuffs for man or beast upon
his plantation.

The Greatest state In the South

From the Charleston News and Courier.
1t is not what Mr.. Ralph says about
Charleston, and says SO charmingly, ol
which we would complain 30 much as in
what he says about North Carolina and
its great industrial strides. Read the
Charleston hall Of bis article and then
read the North Carolina half-look on
this picture. then on this-and the reader
would think that North Carolina had
passed far beyond its sister State in all
its lines Of industrial development.
North Carolina Is, in fact, the greatest
State in the South, but 1t is not 90 much
bigger all round than South Carolina al

Not Uu-Ancrlcaii.

From the pittsburg Post.
1t is gravely announced that Senators
Hill ard Quay have made a combination
to dei,at the income tax by obstructing
the passage through the Senate of the
House Deficiency bill making appropria-
tons to carry the law into effect. The
Senator Quay says "the income tax is
un-Amrrieun." That must be on the
principle that it is truly American that
the surplus capital OF the country should
be exempt from paving its just share OF
the expenditures of the Government for
the protection it enjoys, and that all
taxes should be levied on the necessaries
and comforts Of life consumed by the
masses OF the people, and especially the
working classes. The Vanderbilts, As
tors. Rockeiellers, Goulds and Carnegies
are to 20 scot free, while the toilers o
the land are to be compelled to pay the
millionairs' share of taxation. That il

A Puzzled Emperor.

The emperor of China is in q state OF
great mental worry over the frequent re-
verses sustained by his armies.
He has summoned his highest officials
to council, and be proposes to ask them
why small nation like the Japanese
cannot be exterminated.
It is evident that the Chinese ruler has
very inquiring mind, and in this in
stance his investigation is taking the
right direction. If there is broad
minded statesman among his advisers,
the question asked by he emperor will
bring out some very interesting facts.
Why cannot 100000, 900 Chinese exter-
inmate 40 600, 900 Japanese?
Here is the answer: because the Chi
nese are not so well disciplined and 40
we'll equipped as their foes; because they
are led by corrupt officers who have sold
their guns and most of their ammuni-
ton; because their soldiers have. been so
brutally treated that they serve only for
pay and not from patriotic motives: be-
cause the Chinese have more faith in
their war god and their green dragon
than they have in powder and lead be-
cause the Japanese have adopted. the civ
ilization and methods of the most pro-
gres>ive nations. The Japanese civiliza-
ton trains up men with brains and Gnnf'
age, while the Chinese systanac feduces
men to the level of chjldaffen.
These are the lFessons why the Chinese
altheugh>>tsn times more numerous
thaplr2ne Japanese, are unable to cope will
them.
But it is not likely that any general
governor or mandarin will tell his EN-
peror these unpleasant facts. Such frank
ness would probably cause the person sc
offending to lose his head.-Atlanta Con

- The "meanest man " has been located
in North Carolina. About twenty-six
years ago q man, the head Of a family, in
that State, deserted that family and went
west, accompanied by woman, other
than she who had been q good wife to
him for years. The most CT Els effects he
left with his wife. Time passed and the
deserted wife struggled against the buf-
fetipgs of life's waves and reared the
family left by the truant husband. When
the boys came to be of age, when dutiful
children begin to "want to help MOTHER"
it was agreed that one of them should
take care of her, pay the Doctors bills
(she was now in poor healthy and such
expenses, together with S40O in cash,
upon doing which he was to receive the
home place for his own. This the son
did, and the mother wanted for nothing
during her life. Not until some time
after the death of the mother was any
thing heard of the missing husband and
father. Then one day letter came to
the country postoffice addressed "to any
living children Of f--." The son who
owned the home received the letter. He
mad no recollection of his parent, but the
kindly feeling for the father caused the
son to send him the money to return
home on. The old man came back to
the home that he had deserted years be-
fore. He was given home there, and
this kindness he is now trying to repay
by endeavoring TO secure control Of the
property. He brought sCit to recover
one stone hammer, mattock, bureau, t. BILE
and one deed. This was brought in
magistrates court, and the justice saw
where Justice was in the case. He gave
Judgment tor the defendant, the SOD,
holding that the fathers claim was barred
by the statute. This beats all the records
of mean men up to date.

A Pastors Bike.

+ CHICAGO, ILL, November 3. "A
serious trouble has broke out in the
Swedish Congregational Church, at
Rockford, this State
IS The pastor, the Rev. F. NJ. Johnson,
recently purchased bicycle, and some
of the trustees Of his church express
ed the opinion that a clergyman on
wheel did not present digniGed ap-
pearance.
Frank johnson, member of the
board OF trustees, was 30 Mortified
that he has resigned from the board,
and threatens to leave the church.
G. K, Preus, pas.or Of Our Sav.
iour's Norwegian Lutheran Church,
May and Erie Streets, said: "I think
If preacher has his wheels under
him, and not in his, head, he is all
right. / intend to buy a wheel for
my boys, and if I can learn to ride it
/ intend to take many a spin over the
bouleyards. OF course / would not
ride a wheel to funeral neither
would / ride TO q Funeral on horse
back. The object of minister Of the
Gospel is to get there, and if wheel
will help him to accomplish that OBJ
ject, it is all right. 1t is well enough
not to offend the sentiment of con-
gregation if it can be helped, and per-
haps I might not buy bicycle if my
congregation objected. In the coun
try many ministers who have to ira
vel long distances cannot afford to
own horse and buggy, and bicycle
is great convenience. The Rockford
church members, it seems to me, are
making mountain out Of mole
hill"
The Rev. John N. Kihldahl, pastor
Of the Bethlehem Norwegian Luther
an Church, said "It seems like great
nonsense to have fuss about man
riding bicycle, whether he be cler-
gyman or not. Edo not own a wheel,
but would like TO ride one if I knew
how. / do not think it wrong, nor do
I think there is anyone in my congre-
CATION silly enough to object to such
procedure. My assistant in my
English church, Mr.. William Evans,
rides wheel, and I do not see that
he breaches any poorer sermon for
that reason. DR.. Weidner, principal
Of the Lake View Theological Semi.
nary and pastor of St. Paul's Luther
an Church at Humboldt Park, is an
enthusiastic bicyclist, and he is just
as orthodox as any Of them"
NJ. G. Ranseen, of Gethsemane
Swedish Lutheran Church, thought
perhaps the Rev. Mr.. johnson had
sporting blood in his veins and could
not resist the temptation of going
against time or taking spin around
track to beat a record. He said !:
'Whether or not the congregation has
right to object to clergyman on
wheels depends entirely upon circum-
stances. If the pastor participated in
races I should not think it right.
There can be nothing wrong in the or
dinary bicycle riding. My boys ride
wheels and I don't know but what I
shall be tempted some day to try a
mount "
