THE BOEIS AND THAT RAID.

The last of the men who made the ex-
cursion under DR.. Jameson into the
Transvaal has been disposed of and 1t can
not be said that they have been over sem
fenced. The raid, view 1t from whatever
side you may, was clearly violation OF
the law OF international courtesy as we'll
a. an act OF public violence. DIR. "Jim"
and his fellows had no excuse In law or
reason. They trespassed on territory of
peaceful nation and sought to overthrow
Il.
Yet there are those (and they claim to
know who assert that the Beers are un-
worthy Of any consideration OF justice or
humanity. The Beers, say such, arc a
race cruel and despotic beyond all con-
cept.on. Though actually less In number
than the colored population, they far out
ella IS 1t in intelligence and power and hold
aspecies OF despotism over the blacks that
nev.r was equsllcd In the days of slavery

A bout oNce year the Narraganset In
fiia rs lay aside their clam digging, wash
tn war paint of salt spray from their faces
an ccme To Providence to demand their
rig its. Thcs, rights have been pending
mo ~ the time since Roger Williams got
Providence in the way OF becoming mu-
njcIuality. The sun does not rise and set
with more regularity than the Narragan-
sctts gets around to the question OF their
rights. They come to Providence clothed
with confidence and their Sunday best.
They return to their unhappy hunting
grounds, short on enthusiasm but long on
det mination to make the trip success
next year.
here has been a good deal OF fooling
with the aduiterated braves OF this once
d ,werful tribe. They have sort OF serene
bat confident innocence in the good faith
of the State, and evidently do not under
stand this general plan Of ''standing them
off," They have an idea that the General
Assembly will do something In the way OF
restitution for them when 1t gets time and
are patiently awaiting the time. There Is
no reason why they should not be told
plainly what to expect. II the General
Assembly means never to do anything for
tn m, why does 1t not say 80. 1t wou d
,st nothing and would save the State the
f,rce of tremendously receiving each year
q class OF mon that IL does not intend to
a'd II it does not intend to probe the
cl,ims OF the Indians, why does 1t not get
about the matter at once. TIE annual trip
the Narragansetts to Providence is max
In, a laughing stock of the State. The
;e Is not on the Indians, for they are
p plshing a cause and do not have to make
::uses. The excuses are made by the
tie representatives, who act very much
as a man who owes q bill and does not
wa It to pay it.
1t is time to give the Narragansetts an
an swer. The answer may not be to their
king, but II Is better than this constant
foolishness of presenting grievande.
White men, skilled in the ways of the
cruel world, would have seen years ago,
that the quest il not q bright one, and
would have forced matters, or given up In
despair. The Indian is as guiless as the
CLAIMS he digs and doesn't see the light.
But he should not be April fooled about it.

CONSUL GENERAL LEE.

It is rumored around Washington and
denied at the same place that Consul Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee is to be dropped by the
Mckinley administration and his place
supplied by Republican. We desline to
credit the report yet. Later on we may be
compelled to.
Fitzhugh Lee has shown himself to be
q thorough American. In his younger
days he was q Southern rebel, but that
was when he knew no better. He is as
good patriot now rs any man we know
of and is likely to remain 30. He Is pc
culiarly well fitted for the Cuban port
during this hot crisis OF war, for no man
mas warmer sympathies than he with the
cause of the oppressed and no man Is less
likely to submit to any injustice to Amer
leans in the warning districts,
We want good American at Havana, a
man who will not submit to slap In the
face from a Spanish war grandee, man
who will resent an insult to his country
men as quickly a. to himself. Had Fitz
Hugh Lee been of the vacillating or con-
cilitory kind, instead of the blum and
hrey, but honest old soldier that he is,
Americans would be much worse OF In
Havana than they are today. The case Of
the murdered Ruiz would not have been
pushed to Its present status, had not Lee
been man of will and humane instinct.
The Spaniards rode rough shod over the
Americans in Havana until they saw that
Consul Lee had fighting blood in his
brains and would not hesitate to raise a
row of big proportions iniprotection of his
countrymen.
We want more men of Fitzhugh Lees
class In the service OF the government.
Hot headed he may be at times, indiscreet,
perhaps, on the side of right, but his frey
nature is never aroused In behalf of a
wrong cause. We admire his honest and
bluf humanity, his love for fair play and
his patriotism. President Mckinley Is q
man of good judgment and good inten-
tions. We do not think that he will see
his way clear to dispense with the services
OF Fitzhugh Lee at Havana. This Is not,
we understand, pie dispensing admins
tration. 1t Is intended to give the Offices
to the men best fitted to I'LL them, and
there Is no man better adapted to the pc
culiar crisis at Havana than the present
consul general. We hope to see him stay
and we expect to see him stay.

to the advancement of humanity and civ
ilization and nothing to the betterment Of
their own status. There are accused OF

This is not the kind of defense that we
like to see for Jameson and his band Of
revolutionists. No matter what may be
the character of the Boer republic 1t Is not
for any country to step in and try to dis
possess it of its existence as a nation.

A resident from one of the rural DIS

obliged to 60 to a hotel In the city for the
night. Shortly after he had been shown
his room he reappeared at the Office, and
inquired of the clerk II he could borrow
hammer and q few nails. The desired
materials were provided without question,
and short time after tho entire floor were
aroused by the sound Of repeated blows
on the floor. A search located the noise
In the room occupied by the rural visitor,
who had been assigned to room with
folding bed, and when interrupted was
engaged in mailing the legs Of the folding
part of 1t to the floor. When asked for an
explanation he said "He had heard of the

Tennessee Crops.

The past week was characterized by
warm days, cool nights and a fair dis
trlbution of local showers over the
greater portion of the State. In most
parts of the State late corn is greatly
In need of good rains for it's proper
growth; in some localities the prospects
are greatly lesseDed by the lack of suf-
fcient rain. Tobacco is doing fairly
well, except where dry weatho1 has
initiated against it. Most of the early
crop has been topped, and the latter
portion is now undergoing that process.
The millet crop, in many places, is said
to be the largest and finest for years;
much of it was cut and saved in fine
condition during the week. Fodder
pulling progressed favorably. The
field pea crop is reported generally fine;
also the sorghum crop. Turnips are
coming up and growing well where
sufficient rain has fallen; elsewhere the
crop is not at all promising, The water
melon crop is reported unusually large,
with fine fruit. Drying fruit is still in
progress, and the bulk of the crop will
be utilized in this manner In many
portions of the State plowing was
stopped, owing to the dry and hard
condition of the ground.

necessary good eatin. Bob is now
g. owin gray in streaks and patches,
whilst Miss Callie has shielded her front
teeth, but the lallagaggin goes on about
the same as usual.
Every year for 20 years before Luke
went on across old man Berry Ringstaff
had went on drunk indurin the Christ
mas, got turned out of the church at
Bark Log on Saturday before the third
Sunday in January and returned to the
field ir5Eriu the big protracted meet
in in August. You can tell Luke
that Berry never has missed a Christ
mas yet, and l was over at Bark Log
one day last week when he come f1ockin
back to the amen corner and got his
name on the church books oncst more.
''Consequentially upon the long dry
drought the creeks have run down low
and the fish are now bitin tremendous
free and reckless. But maybe you
would better not tell Luke anything
in regards to that. He mought get
homesick and want to return back into
this land of sin and sufferin.
Don't forget about Dunk Strickland,
Travis, and his three new babies-strip-
lets as they call 'em. Tell Luke they are
now comm three in burr at Dunk's
house. I went over in the hill country
last Sunday evenin to see the sight.
Tell Luke found Misses Strickland and
the striplets gettin along as well as
you could expect under the circum-
ference of the surroundin calamity, but
l have some serious doubts if Dunk ever
will recover"
81 will tell Luke what you say when
I see him." says old man Travis, and
before midnight he had went on across
to see what wonders he would see.

You understand, of course, 1 never
could 60 with old man Travis in the
new doctrines which him and Luke
Wesley and Lige Runnels had worked
up and helt forth, but have heard him
talk along them lines for hours on top
of hours.
Luke Wesley he went on across three
years ago, and now old man Travis has
gone to see for certain about that mar
velsome pleasant country which he
talked about so much. BY this time
him and old man Luke have no doubts
found out what is what and which is
which. Old man Lige is still talkin and
believin and guessin, but they know
somethin by now. ruther expect them
two old men know more to-day in re-
CARDS to things on the other side than
all the people in the round created
world put together.
But anyhow Lige Runnels was there
when Travis Waters come to die. The
doctor had given up the case, the wom-
en- folks had went out to cry. and l
didn't have nothin else to do but 10 look
and listen at them two old men in the

Finally at last, Travis, in my own
ramblin way viii put you in mind OF
some general settlement news which
viii be welcome to Luke. You know he
never was no great hand for mixin and
meddlin with other people, but yet no
mortal man was ever more anxious like
ard greedy for the news than him.
''HS use to worry Luke to see the
way Boz Linton and Miss Callie Mayo
had bee1a courtin and carryin on for
years and years and years, but didn't
take and marry. Understand Luke
didn't make out ike it was any of his
business in particular, but he didn't
think it was right for them to fool the
long-sufferin public forever. You can
tell him they are still takin on as con-
slant and fervent as ever. but with no
prospects Of Q Yeddil match and the
