EDUCATING THE NEGROES.

Some of the newspapers at the
North of us seem to be greatly stirred
up over the action OF the South Carolina
Constitutional Convention relative to
the educational qualification for voting
in that Stnte. and some Of them assert
that 1t will lead TO decentralization Of
5000 900 negroes In the South. but this
Is Il mistake. For many years the
Southern States have maintained pub
lie schools for the whites and blacks
alike. and what is more, the whites
have footed the bills. While the white
people of the South have received no
more benefit from the public schools
than the blacks. they have paid ten
times as much money to maintain them.
No people under the sun would have
done the same as the white people of
the South are doing in this regard. and
yet the so-called friends OF the blacks
living Ut the North of us howl and
howl without cause. The burthen
has almost entirely been the white
mans. The following table. giving the
number of negro children attending the
public schools In 1890 In the States

MARQUIS GIVES BAIL.
QUEEN HELD FOR TRIAL
FOR LIBELING WILDE.
OSCAR PLAYS THE LOFTY
And Gets Sharply Called Down for
His SnObDishness-A Mystic
riOus Letter.

LONDON, March 9.-The Marquis of
Queensberry was today at the Marl-
borough street police court formally
committed for trial by Mr.. Newton, the
sitting magistrate, on the charge of
having libeled Oscar Wilde, in leaving
at the Albemarle club, on Feb. 2S, a
card upon which was written a dis
graceful epithet. The marquis de-
clared in court that he wrote the card
simply to bring matters to a head, and
| to save his son, and that he abided by
| what he wrote. Edward H. Carson, @.
c., M. p, formerly solicitor general for
Ireland, and who was counsel in most
of the government prosecutions in Ire
land under the crimes act, defended
! the Marquis of Queensberry. The court
was crowded with well-known people.
Oscar Wilde, who wore a long, dark
blue jovercoat, drove to the police
court in great style, in carriage and
| pair, with footman and coachman
Accompanying Mr.. Wilde was Lord AL
fred Douglas, son of the Marquis of
Queensberry, but he was not allowed
| to remain in court during the examina-
ton of Mr. Wilde.
Mr.. Wilde was finally placed on the
stand and began his evidence with an
air of languid loftiness. When he was
asked if he was Oscar Wilde, the au-
thor and dramatist, the witness re-
piled, II think l am we'll known"
This remark made Mr.. Newton inter
pose sharply, saying, Answer the ques-
ton, please" Thereupon the plaintiff
replied, Yes The reproof of the
magistrate caused Mr. Wilde to as
sumo a less important air. Replying to
questions put to him by his own coun-
sci, plaintiff said that he first became
acquainted with the Marquis of Queens
berry in 1893. He remembers lunching
with Lord Alfred Douglas, who is tho
marquis second son, and who was born
| in 1870, in the Cafe Royal, during the
| month of October, 1892, when the de-
PENDANT entered the room, and by in
vitation OF his son sat down at the same
table
Continuing, Mr.. Wilde said he did
not see the Marquis of Queensberry
again until 1893. when he and Lord AL
fred Douglas were lunching in the
same cafe. The defendant, upon that
occasion, shook hands with both Mr.
Wilde and his son, and the witness in
vited the marquis to join them.

HARD TIMES IN BELFXsT.
Irish linen Industry Suffers From
General DeDreSsiOn

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Accord-
ing to report to the state department
from United States Consul fancy at
Belfast, the past year was the most
disastrous year in trade ever expert
enced there. This was accounted for
by the prolonged stagnation of trade
in the United States and the shrinkage
of values. The United States consumes
from so to 60 per cent of the Belfast
product of flaxen textiles. The shrink
age in values amounted to $1,000. 900,
eating up ali profit, and. in instances,
creating a loss account. There vas
also curtailment of production
amounting to from a quarter to one
third of the capacity. These things
were charged to the American tariff
agitation. The report states that since
the passage of the tariff law business
has improved, and the demand is now
equal to what it was any time in the
past five years.

counsel for Mr.. Wilde, handed him a
letter, and the witness was asked if
such a document had been placed in
his hands by Lord Alfred Douglas,
shortly afterwards. The magistra tie
here remarked that he thought this
document should not be put in evil
dence.
Mr.. Carson, counsel for the marquis
interposed, saying that he did not OBJ
ject to the letter being put in evidence
On the contrary, he preferred that it
should be brought before the court as
he wished to show the marquis was
acting in the interest of his son. To
this Mr.. Newton said that he could
not then enter into the question. Mr.
Carson objected to this and asked
that the document be put in evidence
in order that the matter might be in
Vestigated in the fullest manner pos
sible.
Counsel for Mr.. Wilde said that il
was not intended that the letter should
be read in court. as the names of eX-
allied personages were mentioned, and
he did not think it right that their
names should transpire Counsel also
explained that the mysterious letter
was introduced with the view of charg-
ing the Marquis of Queensberry with
additional libels, but as Mr.. Newton
insisted that in that case the letter
should be read in court, counsel for
plaintiff withdrew the letter. Mr..
Wilde then continued his evidence, tes-
tifying as to how he was handed the
card of the Marquis of Queensberry,
upon which We're written the offensive
words, by a porter at the Albemarle
club.
Mr.. Carson then cross-examined the
witness in regard to his acquaintance
with Lord Alfred Douglas, saying
that ne wished to show that the object
of the Marquis of Queensberry was to
end the acquaintance of his son with
the plaintiff. The magistrate said he
considered this defense to be plea of
justification, and did not allow Mr.
Carson to proceed.
The Marquis of Queensberry was then
asked If he had anything to say,
whereupon he arose and declared that
he wrote the card, Simply to bring
