As Much As They Deserve.
From the Washington Post Qnd.).

The colored people are clamoring for So
cial equality. They complain that they
are kept down by the prejudices of the
whites, and insist that but for these
preiudices, they could take and hold a
higher place. For our part, we do not
admit the justice of this proposition. We
think that the colored people have quite
as much recognition as they deserve-as
much as they viii ever receive until they
apply for it, as white people nave to do,
by the rule of individual merit. But, as

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theo-
dore Roosevelt has prepared an interesting
pamphlet upon the subject of the naval
policy of America as outlined in the mes
sages Of the Presidents of the United
States from the beginning to the present
day. These utterances tell in brief the
growth Of the navy of the United states
from the time when Gen. Washington first
advocated its formation for reasons which
apply now as forcibly as they applied
when he wrote, more than a century ago.
up TO the present time when rapid strides
I'm perfecting that branch Of the service
are being made. There is not one Of the
Presidents but recognized the urgent
need for frst-c.ass navy. and insisted
that it should be added to and strengthen
ed as rapidly as possible. OF recent
years there has not been an official who
has taken a more active interest in the
navy than has Mr. Roosevelt, ana under
MS guidance, development ana progress
are sure to follow.

The firm of Arthur Sewau & Co. of
Bath. Me. whose senior partner was the
candidate for Vice President on the dem
ocratic ticket last year, is preparing to
build one Of the largest steel sailing ships
afoat. 1t is said that Mr.. Sewau has
been quick to realize the advent of good
times and brighter business prospects,
and he thinks there will be a growing de-
mand for American bottoms. There would
always be good demand for them were
it not for the legal and statutory discrim-
nations against them.

How n Woman Robbed the Treasury.
During the incumbency of the Office of
United States treasurer by Mr.. Hyatt of
Connecticut, a woman employed in the re-
demption division was discovered in a
very ingenious scheme for making a for
tune at the expense of the United States,
says the Rochester Post-EXpress.
AS is well known, the department re-
deems at full face value any portion of a
bill, provided no more than one-third is
missing. This woman would take pack
age of $40 bills, say, and would tear a
fraction, perhaps three-quarters of an
inch long, from one of them. She would
secrete this portion and in a short time
would take another bill of like denomina-
ton and tear off a piece twice as long,
substituting the smaller piece from the
first bill so as to bring the note up to the
limit of length required. Proceeding in
this way, she would in course of a few
hours secure for herself one extra bill.
Just how much the woman stole was
never ascertained, but she succeeded in
saving enough money out of a salary of
$500 a year to build a beautiful house in
a semi-fashionable quarter of the city, and
to supply herself with valuable bric-a-
brac and even horse and carriage. 1t
was the fact that she generally drove to
the department every morning in this We
hicle that attracted attention to her mode
of living, and eventually led to the discov-
cry of her method of peculation. She
was indicted by the grand jury but was
never tried, as she died from cancer be-
fore the day set for her trial
The amount of money which this thrifty
COUNTESS" secured was estimated at all
the way from $4,000 to $4,000, but there
is absolutely no means of discovering just
how much she did secure from her dis
honest practices.

Gimme a season ticket to this here
place." he said. as he leaned both elbows
on the window ledge at the box office and
spread open a large pocket book, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press.
1--WE don't sell season tickets" replied
the young man.
You mean that you don't make any dis
count for sales in large quantities? It's
a mistake. You ought to issue tickets and
punch a number out every time a man
patronizes you, the same as they do at
some o these here restaurants. 1t looks
kind o. like We didn't keer whether man
come back again, when We comes without
shown no anxiety whether he gifts to be
a stiddy customer or not
And as he spoke he drew out an enor-
nous bandanna handkerchief and mopped
his dripping brow

you've got good thing, and are in a po-
sition to make people pay full price every
time. Well, there amt no use of my stay
in out here in the heat when j might
just as well be comfortable. Gimme a
ticket an let me git in out of the sun"

with a grin. Come around at o'clock to-
night and see the show"
"Aint the place open now?'
Certainly not"
But, mister. the suns up an this is one
of the hottest parts of the day!'

Here, take back your ticket. I'm con-
WINGED that you don't know how to run
your business and 1 won't take no chances
on gettin buncoed'
What did you expect?"
81 didn't know exactly. But my curios-
ity got aroused and my hopes got raised
by hearin' a Teller outside say you was
havin' big frost here; and with the
thermometer in the nineties 1 couldn't re-
sist the temptation to come inside and en-
joy some of it. But 1 don't like the way
you conduct the enterprise have my sus-
picions that the whole thing is a skin game
and l won't trust you"

Spain appears to have about stopped talk
ing war against the United States on ac-
count of alleged filibusterng expeditions
and is now putting forward claims for
damages for so-called violations of the
neutrality laws. The government is in a
pretty fair position to show that it has
taken every precaution possible to pre-
vent such expeditions going from Ameri-
can ports, and it is hard 70 see just how
Spain is going to establish her claims
Perhaps she is merely putting up the
claims first as a little warning, intend
ing to back them up with a little war
later on.

not be a fitting testimonial to their

acquiring new laurels. The Georgia boys

The condition of the misdemeanor con-
victs in Georgia who, according to In
spector Byrd's report, have in many in
stances been inhumanly treated, demands
immediate attention, and it is gratifying
to note that Gov, Atkinson has very
promptly taken the matter in hand with
out waiting for the coming session of the
legislature. The governor states that
the courts have been responsible for viola
lions of the law in permitting misdemean-
OF conviets to be sold or leased TO private
uarties, and he calls upon them to correct
these evils at once. 1t is notorious fact
that the misdemeanor convicts in some
counties have been sold outright to private
parties for the price of the fine and costs
assessed against them, and the proceeds has
been divided up between the officers of the
courts. The Morning News sometime ago
called attention TO just such a case as
this in a neighboring county, in which
there had been apparently an unjust con-
viction and twelve months sentence i'm
posed upon a negro simply for the pur-
pose of selling him out for that period for
the money that private parties Were will
ing to pay for his services. In such cases
as this it would appear that there is
graver crime on the part of the court off,
Gals than on the part of the criminal him
self. The opportunity for such an evil
let alone the evil itself, should be removed

most prosperous state in the union to-
day. There will be 10000 homes cleared
of mortgages this fall, he states. the
mortgages averaging $1,000 each. which
means an expenditure of 100000. The
Kansas farmers have evidently outgrown
their discomfort, and viii no doubt be
ready to concede now that it will not
require any populist uprising to put them
on their feet again. Eras of prosperity
naturally alternate with those of adver-
sity, and now Kansas and several other
states are having their innings.

that no possible rectiication of it

difference it can make as long as the

Gov. BIoxham of Florida has accepted
an invitation 20 open the Florida Tobacco
Fair, TO be held at Lake City Oct. q and
%, with an address suitable to the occa-
sion. The tobacco industry in Florida was
a result, so to speak. of the conflict in
Cuba, and so far as it has progressed it
has surpassed everything that was ex~
pected of it. The Florida Tobacco Fair
Association has gone Systematically into
the work Of preparing this exhibit and by
well-directed efforts proposes to achieve
a signal success. Florida evidently has
the tobacco fever. and whatever can be
done to promote the industry in that state
should receive every encouragement The
tobacco growers of that state have no diff
fculty in growing a fine quality of the
weed, and what they need now is a thor
ough knowledge Of how TO cure it. This
can be attained only through careful
study, experiment and experience, and eff
forts in this direction will be promoted
by just such things as the coming fair.
1t should be made a rousing success.
