war in educating them, and we
should give them chance to repay
these millions by assisting in aug
menting the South's wealth by taking
part in the active work of developing
the manufacturing interests Of the
South. There is work enough ID the
South for all, both white and black,
and there is no just and tenable
grounds for uneasiness because it is
proposed to take few Of the negroes
from the cotton fields and put them
into the cotton factories. 1t is all
right to give white factory hands the
preference if they render good and
satisfactory service, but it would be
oily to keep mill closed or leave
many mills unbuilt because white
operatives are unobtainable, when at
the same time negroes could be Sc
cured to perform the required work
in thoroughly satisfactory manner.

ening Letters to Reed.
Washington, June 3.-Speaker Reed,
like every other public man in high Off
cial station, has received threatening
letters from time to time, hut has never
paid any attention to them. Tuesday,
however, one was received of such a
nature that it seemed to command more
than ordinary attention, and the speak
er's private secretary. without Reeds
knowledge, turned it over to the police
authorities. who after investigation have
come to the conclusion that it was no,
written by a crank, but by some one
desirous of perpetrating a hoax for SEN
saticnal purposes.
While following the speaker home the
detectives observed a man whom they
knew and whom they suspected was the
writer. 1t was found that he had giver
information about the letters to newspa.
per correspondents, and had called at Do
lice headquarters, but in the absence ol
q warrant they refrained from taking
him into custody. Yesterday afternoon
Police Inspector Holliaberger conferred
with District Attorney Davis and con.
cluded that there was 10 law covering
the case. The writer accordingly vii
not be arrested.
Sending through the mails threatening
language written On an envelope or OF
postal card is Illegal but sending sucl
in an enclosed letter is not. This issu,
arose in the last administration, whei
threatening mail was sent to Cleveland
and Senators Sherman and Mills. a pos
tai card being sent to the last named. Fo
using the card the offender served eight
cen months in prison in Baltimore.

speaking was by the Democratic sens-
tors, the Republican senators taking no
part in the debate except at rare inter-
walls, to answer questions which would
expedite the advance of the bill. Jones
Of Arkansas and Vest urged numerous
amendments embodying in the main the
Wilson rates, but these were rejected
with only one exception. This exception
related to anvils. on which Vest secured
a reduction Of the committee rate from
to 1Z cents per pound.
1t was the first change made without
the assent of the committee, and it was
due mainly to the listless manner Of
many senators in voting. Early in the
day Tillman secured the adoption of a
resolution directing the judiciary COM
m!ttee to inquire into the recent decis-
ion against the South Carolina dis
pensary law, with a view to reporting

order him off? An immediate reply is
desired. The courier will remain at
