GENERAL pALMER's NEW ROLE 1t
must be most gratifying to those ultra
| good people at the South who destroyed
the possibility Of electing democratic
president last year--A true representative
OF the people--by supporting the most
conspicuous political renegade in the whole
country--a man who has been on all sides
Of every political question--to know that
General John M. Palmer IL to appear az

school children at Alton. H., who decline
to attend their own school. but insist on
going TO the white schools. General
Palmer rs not to eppear in tho true capa..
city Of an attorney. He is not employed
to take the case. but has volunteered to
do 80.
This being the case, II is taken as the
personal wish OF General Palmer that coli
ored children should not have the same
school privileges as the whites--tbe same
school buildings. rooms and teachers,
though separate privileges had been pro-
vided for them.
Suppose General Palmer had been elected
president? He would have been the
worst enemy to the South that could
possibly have been chosen. II he is
Wiling that the whites and blacks should
be educated together, It argues that he
would have appointed colored postmas-
tiers In preference to the whites with
Wholesale recklessness that would outdo
Mckinley twenty times over.
There was never at any time the least
possibility OF the election OF General
Palmer during his candidacy last year. but
the crazy vigor with which the self
anolnted few shouted his praises as &c
the only Simon pure, blowp-in- the bottle
sample OF genuine democracy will be
pleased beyond measure to know that
General Palmer entcrtahns the views he
does on a question which is OF so vital
interest to the South. and especially so,
as his position is in direct opposition TO
thai maintained by those who have
fought for years TO uphold white suprem-
ecy.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

How IA Tank of Varnish Caught Fire
at the II. j. II. Factory.
A tank of varnish in the shipping
room at the factory of the R ]. Rey-

about 5 O'Clock Tuesday morning and
for few minutes it looked like the
entir@ Nuilding would be destroyed.
1t believed that the fire originat-
ed fIum spontaneous combustion as
there were no matches or fire near the
tank.
When the enight-watchman discover
ed the blaze he, naturally. became ex-
cited. He turned the tank over,
thinking that by so doing the fire
would be extinguished. This made
matters worse, causing the oil and
blaze to spread all over the floor.
The new automatic fire department
in the factory was used with splendid
effect. Mr.. Walter Reynolds says it
worked charmingly. He feels conf
dent that by Its use the factory was
saved.
The most serious damage done was
to manufactured tobacco, which was
covered with water.
