1t often happens that in the very
quarters whence proceed the scyercst
criticism of the South for drawing
the color line we see striking cN-
hibitions OF the same race feeling
which the South is assaulted for hold
inc.
Philadelphia has recently given
several illustrations Of the fact that
the color line is not drawn in the
South alone.
Many white parents have taken
their children away from Martha
Washington public school in that
city because negro children were adj
mittcd. The efforts to reconcile
these parents to the mixture of
white and coIorcl children in The
schools have been unavailing. The
demand for separate schools for
white and colored children is grow
ing very strong.
In Washington City this policy was
adopted long ago and Washington i,
under Federal Government. 1t was
found that the mixture OF the races
in the public schools Of that city was
Il constant source OF trouble and the
separate school system has worked
most satisfactory to both races.
Another instance in Philadelphia IS
presented by the Withdrawal OF white
students from an educational in
stitution because 4 negro was allowed
to enter it aS student. New Jersey
is not behind Philadelphia in readi-
ness to assert race prejudice. \
white Baptist preacher in that State
recently had an application for the
use of the haptistry Of his church by
the pastor Of 4 highly respectable
colored Baptist church near by. The
request was submitted to the white
congregation and was promptly re-
fused.
When il comes to taking the
medicine themselves the people of

WHAT THE WAR COST.

Secretary AIger has made public his
report of the recent war with Spain.
He says:
The expenditures for The fiscal year
ended June 80 last were S62,5 54,7S4,
and the estima:cs Tor the Dtxt fiscal
year, beginning Ist Of Jolly, 1899, ere
Soc 1-0.271 O. this great estimate
tin sum q S55,43o, 500 is charged 10
pay eff the army. l'ne estimates Of
extraordinary appropriations required
tor the six months ending June 80,
1899, are s6o,177,53o, and the es,i-
mates tnr that period combined with
those for the next fiscal year, reach a
total Of s5255,+27,9I7.
As regards The number Of lives lost,
MIR. Al9er says:
The deaths iii the army from May I
20 October I, inclusive, killed, died Of
wounds ard IF disease, were 2,0Io,
the SMALLEST death rate recorded in
ary army in history, q remarkable
fact, when it is considered thai over
fifty thousand of our troops, born and
reared IN the temperate zone, were
campaigning in tropical, subject to

OutSpoi.en For White Ruie.

The following letter from Governor
Joseph +. Johnston was printed in
the New Ioak Ucr0id OF recent date:
To the Editor Of the Her0Id:---
Every attempt to submit the peo-
pie OF any State or locality in the
South to the domination Of the negro
will end in revolution, either peace
ful or bloody. 1t is best for both
races that the white people should
control, ANY interference by the
Federal Government in the internal
affairs Of the States can only excite
resentment and increase diocurI.
The people of North Carolina and
South Carolina are az capable of at
tending to their own affairs a the
people Of any other State. 1t would
seem to b" quite as proper to con-
slider Whc;h her The Federal Govern
mcnt should not interfere IL illinois,.
The expectation of Federal interior
cnce has brought enough disaster to
the c"lored people, and il seems to
me that it is about time for it to
be understood that all the virtue.
intelligence and patriotism Of the
nation are not confined to any sec
ton.
