How n Negro l. Treated by HIS "h''e
>eighbor- south.

To those of the North who are forever
engaged In senseless twaddle about the
negro not being given a fair show in the
South. we would respectfully submit an
occurrence in this city. y colt show
was in progress and eleven me COTS
had been entered in the contest for the
first prize of s25. The prize was offered
by a Southern white man; the three
Judges were Southern men and ten out
of the eleven colts entered belonged TO
Southern white men. The eleventh colt
belonged TO Calvin Kenney, a negro as
black asthe ace of spades, and farm
er living near this city. Under all these
conditions the prize went 10 Kenney and
his colt was awarded the blue ribbon.
We auprchend that he would have had
poor showing among northern friends,
who pirate so much about their solicitudc
for his welfare and who put their pro-
LESSONS so little into practice. IL he
had offered his colt for exhibit in a
colt show i'm a northern city. the chances
are that he would have been shown the
nearest exit on short notice.
IL is a fact that cannot be disputed
that the negro's best friends are the
white people of the South. They accord
him more privileges. give him more ave
nues Of honest employment, and take
more real interest in his development
than men who. far away from the south
spend their time I'm theoretical ESSAYS
on his hard lot. and abusing a people
who would 90 further TO help the negro
than any Of the lot who profess so mcuh
friendship for him. The white people
Of the South and the negroes understand
each other, and there will be no friction
between them. If outside interference
ceases Athens (Ga) Banner.
Commenting on the above. Editor Scott
Wood Of the Petersburg Herald, negro
paper SAYS.
Just let the blacks and the whites
alone IN the South and they will get
along all right together The white man
is without a question the master Of the
situation, but the negro is a close sec
ond."

JUDGE muonrs. IrTrrn AGAIN.

We submit a few more remarks This
morning upon the letter of Judge Robert
w. hughes that we published yesterday.
Judge Hughes SAYS the debts Of the
world are estimated at about one hun
dred and nifty thousand millions OF dol
lars. Debtors. he says. are continually en-
gagged in the work OF paying of their
respective portions OF this immense ag-
gregate Of obligations. and there is a per-
petuai, never-ceasing demand for money
with which 10 pay them.
The Times denies this proposition.
only an imperceptbly small fraction of the
debts Of the people is paid with money.
Debts arc paid by transfers of credits
fiom one man 70 another. We Know u

dollars. His wheat crop was carried 70

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 10 1hE
CHATTER.

The Richmond correspondent OF the
baltimore Sun. writing 10 that paper
day or 50 back. said that a great eiiort
was going to be made IN the coming pri-
mary by the liquor men 10 change the
charter so as to cause tho Chief or 20
nce to be elected by the people instead
of by the Council. They think, he said
that in an election before the people they
would be able TO defeat our present ad-
mirable Chief and secure the election OF
one who would wink at their violations
of the Sunday law and permit them 10
keep their bars open in defiance of the
law.
So far as this proposed amendment Is
concerned we feel altogether Indifferent.
Major Howard may come for reelection
before a Po.ce Board chosen by the
Council or before a Police Board chosen
directly by the people, or before the
people themselves in a diNct election
but so long as he performs his full duty
as he has been performing it he will run
no risk of losing his place. His course
is approved OF by nine citizens of Rich
mond out Of every ten. The great body
of the people demand that their laws.
whatever they may be. shall be enforced
and submitted TO by all. and the over
whelming majority of them are devoted
10 Their Sunday and are determined that
IL shall be observed as a day OF rest.
When any effort is made in any quarter
or from any direction TO turn Major How
ard out OF his place for enforcing the
Sunday laws and suppressing gambling
bells, IL will be met by the stern
condemnation OF all Of Richmond that
is worth considering.
The same correspondent says a deter
mined set will be made at the office OF
City Engineer also. I'm the hope that his
office may be made elective by direct
vote of the people This is one of the
few Offices of which the incumbent should
not be so elected. The City Engineer
should be highly scientific nan. IL is
not possible for the people TO judge as
10 the scientific attachments OF an indi-
Nluudl III TIC VI Il Itbi4N wv
ton. and scientific man, tit 10 MI the
position. is always retiring one who
will not enter into the rough-rool-and-
tumble Of a popular election, while the
loud-mouthed humbugs who aspire TO
the place arc the very sort of men TO
get votes by frequenting bar-rcoms and
hob-nobbing with the "heelers."
Col. Cutshaw has been worth to the
city OF Richmond more than any man
can estimate lie has the scientific
knowledge necessary for mis- place. and
he has the honesty and the nrmness neces-
sary for protecting the city against jobs
OF all sorts 1t would be an almost
irreparable loss to the city If he should
lose his place We most sincerely hope
therefore. that the charter will be lot
alone so far as the City Engineers office
Is concerned.
