which take more out Of the treasury
than they put into IL. There are ninety

Centuries ago people used TO fear
what they called the pestilence. "Black
Death" was the most terrible thing in

of these. 1t is so common that nine
tenths of all the sickness in the world is

White People Islander Southern Women
at Negro Meeting.
From the New York Journal.
The meeting of colored citizens in
Cooper Union Thursday night to pro-
test against the prescription and
slaughter of men of negro blood in
some of the southern communities was
called for good purpose. 1t was in
tended, no doubt, as protest against
riot and an appeal for the enforcement
of the law.
But it's result is likely to incite
new riot and to make men deaf to the
laws commands.

Logic Against Annexation.

The Boston Advertiser condenses a
volume of logic against Philippine an
nexation when it says concerning the
recent race troubles in the south that
"these incidents merely show that
Americans have failed to solve the
problems which have arisen since the
war, and that IN certain states out.
breaks of lawlessness are occurring to
the shame of the rest of the republic. :"
lind this is followed by the remark that
meanwhile a certain faction of politI-
clans seriously propose that the United
States shall extend the scenes of such
disorder and brutality by attempting
to annex an archipelago embracing
abont 100000 Malays, although it
has just been proved that the federal
government has no power whatever to
interfere with wholesale massacres re-
sulting from race hatred in states of
the unIon."

were rather light but she was well sup
