THE New YORK Post, the leading or
gan of the raugwumps and anti-snap-
pers, says there are no negro common
weals" in the South because the white
people of this section would not allow
them to organize. The Post belongs to
that class who only see things as they
want to see them, and then, too, like
most all other northern people, it is as
ignorant of the true condition of affairs
in the South as it is of those in
Timbuctoo. Negroes have been per-
mitted to form organizations in the
South infinitely more dangerous to the
people of this section than any COM
monweals that were ever dreamed Of
by Mr.. Coxey.

The general term of the Court Of Common
Pleas of New York has decided that the Ives
Pool Bill Is illegal, insofar as it purports to be
authorized pool-sclling at horserace and is
void for repugnancy to the prohibition of lot
teries in the constitution OF the State OF New
York. Judge Pryor hands down the decision
holding that pool on horse rnce is lottery
within the interdict of the constitution and
that boOl;naline is still Illegal by the pro-
vision OF the revised statutes which makes
unlawful all wagers, bets or stakes on any
race or any unknown or contingent event
whatever.

THERE are few evils without at least
some compromising coed. The extern

the effect of crowding the steeragc OF
many of the European steamers on
their return trips. The foreigners are
afraid to continue work lest they be
mutilated or killed by the strikers, so
that many of them arc going back to
their homes across the sea, where,

be protected when so engaged, and
where they can be shaved or buy q

a frivolous fan
or festive Japan
Unfold It's wonders TO mo.

In no other part OF the world is the
fan an article OF so great Importance
as in the East. This is not alone due
to the climate, which makes Il a neces-
sity for Cooling the air" but 20 the es-
pecial Significance attached TO II as n
symbol OF authority. and In some cases,
as an emblem OF royalty. writes Laura
II. Starr IN April Godey'a.
The origin OF the open fan. which the
Japanese call ucliwa and the Chinese
shan. is lost IN the miata Of antiquity.
The Chinese claim that IL was brought
into use In the Celestial empire by
ruler who came 10 the Dragon throne
b. c. 2Gg7. Where II came from they do
not state, but we md It mentioned In
the literature Of the ancient Aasyrians
aud Egyptians, and specimens have
been exhumed from their buried city.
The early Greeks must have been ac-
customed TO its use. as we md various
representations OF Il on vases and other
articles Of decorations belonging to
them.
Historians disagree ms 10 It's origin, as
well as the date thereof. Some claim
thnt the winrs and tails or birds made
the first fans others that the leaves OF
trees formed the original cooling np-
paratuH. Feather fans are certainly Of
ancient date. bus II Is not at all inn
probable that Eve, whose inventive
genius fashioned gowns Of iig leaves,
