FIRE AT ATLANTIC CITY.

Atlantic City. N. j.. October S.--The
most costly block of amusement buildings
and stores on the beach front was de-
stroyed by fire early this morning. With
in two hours of the time the fire broke GU
twenty buildings, occupied by about fifty
business establishments. were burned, land
half dozen families were rendered home
less. The loss is estimated at $780, COZ.
For q time the conflagration threatened
to get beyond the control of the local fire
department. and assistance was asked
from Camden and Philadelphia. An
hour later two steamers reached here from
Camden, but the request for the engines
from Philadelphia was cancelled before
they had been placed on the train. The
burned district covers the block extending
from Tennessee to New York avenues and
from Ocean avenue to the beach front.
The fire started in Nipples s. McCann's
hath houses. frame structure having a
depth of $50 feet. The bath houses were
surrounded by many frame buildings, and
within twenty minutes there was o full
acre of seething flames A breeze from
the sea drove tho flames toward the city,
and it was feared that the local fire de-
partment would not be able to get control
OF the fire. A sudden change of the wind.
however. sent ths flames toward the sea,
and directly over the board walk. The
firemen were thus enabled to check the
nrooress of the fire cityward, and confine
ii to the block In which it had originated.
The tire was completely under control at
nine o'clock.

We get little from the peace commits
81 on, and the authenticity of that little is
open to more or less doubt. 1t would
seem, however, from the little that leak
out that the Spanish commissioners re
disposed to contest evory inch OF ground,
and yield only when they are compelled
to. Evidently the tenacity OF Spanish
diplomats is very much superior to that
of Spanish soldiers and sailors and Spain
is sprobably not without hope that some
of that which was lost through lack Of
tenacity in the field may be recovered by
abundance of it in the council room.
Apparently the most important question
in dispute--the fate of the Philippines
bias not yet Eeen reached. yet con.
troversius enough over minor questions
have been created to keep the commission
ers busy consulting among themselves
and with the government at Washington.
Judging from the rate of progress treaty
of peace will not have been arranged
before Congress meets, and not by that
time unless the American commi ssion
puts it's foot down pretty hard.

Frederick II. Brooks, another broker,
who waaered about $25, 900 for customers
in last falls campaign, made his first ap'
pearanoe this year last night in the hotels
where politicians meet. He said that he
would have $4,000 soon to wager on
Roosevelt at ten to eight. He bet $4,000
against $500 on Roosevelt yesterday.
Several other wagers were made yester-
day between members of the stock ex'

The Indians's side of the trouble in the
Northwest is yet to be told, and the prob
ability Is that when 1t comes to light we
shall find that the blame is not
entirely on one side. The feeling is pretty
general in the border states that the only
good Indian is dead Indian, and men
who cherish that idea naturally are not
likely to be very careful to refrain from
encroaching uponsthe Red Mans rights.
Indeed, not infrequently those rights are
deliberately infringed, for the purpose
of exasperating him to commit some over:
act that shall furnish plausible cause
for his removal from territory which
he owns, but which his white neighbors
oovet. Our. dealings with the Indians
make pretty disgraceful page in ouI
history, and if the Filipinos should get
hold of them they might be less anxious
to place themselves under our protection
than they seem to be now.

DR.. Swallow is conducting his CAM
paign for the governorship of Pennsylva-
mia on the sinpls platform sThou shalt
not steal.'' Col. Roosevelt in his Satur
day night speech, accepted the Doctor s
platform, for New York state, and made
the important addition: "And thou
shalt not lfb any one else steal if thou
cans't help it.'' That it should be deemed
necessary and profitable to bring the
eighth commandment into such promi-
nenoe in tie two greatest states of the
Union would seem to indicate that there
was popular suspicion abroad in both
of them that public officials too frequently
had not made it one of the rules of their
official conduct.

1t is difficult to see on what grounds
the Spanish commissioners can insist that
the United States should assume the
Cuban debt. The United States had
nothing to do with creating it, and it does
not propose to take possession OF the
country on whose account it was con-
tracted. If this debt had been created for
the benefit of Cuba; or if the island had
received any benefit from it direct or in
direct, it might with good reason be
treated as her obligation which sCuba
was bound in equity to take care of, but
the fact is that most of it was contracted
in WARS which devastated the island,
and which Injured only to the benefit OF
Spain. That being so neither Cuba nor
the United States is under obligation to
take care of it, but Spain and only
Spain.

The Keyser Echo wants an ex-
preston from us on the negro
question, and we can give it to
Bro. Thompson straight out from
the shoulder, and IN such plain and
unequiyocal terms that no one can
mistake our meaning.
First, we do not consider that a
darkey is as good as a white man,
nor never did, and we have a poor
opinion of the white man who does
think so, but we are willing for
him to be the judge for himself.
Granted that the Const tuition
does declare that all men arc born
free and equal. 1t is not true, nor
never has been, nor never will be
ill we have the Millennium, and
very doubtful about it then. The
negro is a different type, tempera-
mont, color, race, and so oonsti.
tuted that he never a stand on
an equal footing with the white
man. We are opposed to him hold.
ing Office Of any kind over white
people.
We do not think he should be
allowed to ride in the same car, eat
a. the same table, sleep m the same
bed, attend the same school or
church. or go to the same heaven
az the white man.
Since VIC have the darkey with
us, and can't get shut Of him, we
think he should be treated we'll,
but not created white" He
should be protected and have equal
rights and privileges under tie
law, so far as 10 relates TO the So
cicty and business Of his own peo
pie, but the law cannot do what
the Creator didn't do, make him
the same as The whito man. You

bot his temperament as we'll, before
he car stand up and be counted
with the white race. People who
are color blind may see differently,
but these are our sentiments. They
