To the people who have been face
to face with the negro problem
for the past third of of Il century,
there is nothing new or surprising
in the recent race outbreaks, which
have reused public discussion, ex-
cept the new way in which they
are viewed by those who live be-
yond the theatre of action. This
is such a departure from the old
currents of discussion as to mark
a revolution. Only here and there
do we find any espousal of the
negro's side of what Cable called
his Cease in equity" Whatever
sympathy has been inspired by the
bloody snuffing out of his political
prominence in North Carolina IS
accompanied by Il disclaimer of
any policy OF interference IN
Southern afairs-a recognition
that white supremacy must pre-
vail, unyexed by negro aspira-
tions.
Such is the trend Of Northern
comment upon recent appearances
of the problem, joined with silence
IN administration circles equally
significant of abandonment of ne
gro political championship. Even
church circles, once the ,hotbed of
a mistaken philanthropy, partake
Of the change look at the race
wrongs from a far more judi
ciaI stand point.
The Herald's aim in alluding
above to Il now much agitated
question, is to impress upon its
negro readers that they are losing
ground in popular estimation;
which they can little afford
to lose, and which they alone can
regain. They must perceive how
solely their reliance rests on their
own eforts-that the old Republi-
can and Abolition props have been
withdrawn. Above all else, with
their lot fixed in the South, 1t be-
hooyes the negro, rs never before,
to preserve as far as possible the
old-time friendliness of the South
ern white man. Without that bis
is indeed forlorn and
MI serable, -Nioksburg Herald.

Address Of Capt, Henry 7. Ireys.

The following is the address by
Captain Ireys to his troop on be

sword at the last drill held on Nov
25th. The address, as delivered, wa
only heard by a few Of the grear

occasion by an officer who is as
popular in civil life as with the
lTHmbers of his company.
"Ge6tlemen Of Company Gin
very few remarks wish to thank
you for this beautiful token of
your good will and esteem and to
assure you of my appreciation,
which Is greater than | shall ever
be able to tell you.
Company G has won distinction
for itself under trying circum-
stances. 1t would have been easy
for a company Of men such as you
to have gained distinction for
themselves by deeds of valor, and
feats of bravery had you been
given the opportunities afforded
those who were engaged in active
+, service; but it is extremely hard
under the dull routine and mo-
notony of camp life for one man
or company of men to rise to de-
gree of distinction above their fell
lows. This, however, has been
done by this company.
You have been faithful in the
performance of your duties, con
stant and earnest in your military |
work, loyal to each other, and re-
spectful to your officers; an honor
to the flag under which you have |
served, an honor to your State,
and an honor to the community
from which you came. Here |
wish to pay to you compliment,
one which not many Captains can
truthfully pay their companies.
1t is that since | have been asso-
oiated with you, there has not been
Dne word or gesture of dlsrespect
shown to me by one OF you.
l would impress upon you not

Twas through no fault Of yours,
or had the same assignment been
made to you as to those who went I

CANNOT BE CONQUERED.
Maj. Fem of winsted, CT, Tells of His
Life With the Insurgent Army in Cuba,

Emory W. Fem, son of the late Judge
Augustus II. Fem, returned to his HON g
in Winsted, Conn, last week from Cuba,
where he has been since February 60,
1897, in the service of the insurgents. ssMr.
Fem is a young man, not yet 30 years
old, but his life has been an active one
He learned the trade of machjnist.
Afterward he was representative in Bos-
ton of the Roe blin gs, the builders of
the Brooklyn bridge. For year before
going to Cuba he made a study of torpe-
does and explosives. He invented a tor
pedo of which he took six to Cuba with
him. He was given the title in the Gu
ban army Of chief of the torpedo and dyn.
amite department with rank of major,
acting under special orders of Gen. Gar :
ella. His story and observations are in
teresting. He says: my work was all
with the department of the east in the
province of Santiago de Cuba. We were
taken there on O fiilibustsr without any
interference, and landed at Banes on the
night of March 81. Immediately began
operations in my line by planting torpe-
does in the harpor which protected us
while discharging our cargo, for althoua h
two Spanish vessels were in the vicinity
they did not dare enter the harbor to mo-
lest us. After that I was in eight en-
gagements all told, besides which blew
up, at different times, six railroad
bridges, most of them being ON the rail
hafx nd Hal mt,
also blew up the largest locomotive ON
this road. During my stay in Cuba I
lived with the army, camping at night
and sleeping, without tent, in ham,
mock in the open air. Most of the oiti-
GERS had canopies over their hammocks.
I had none. In the rainy season, If con-
venient, we occasionally slept in houses,
but the houses are little more than roof
of palm leaves.
81 saw a good deal of the home life of
the people. They are very orderly. I
never heard harsh word nor saw fist
fight while L was among them. They are
intensely patriotic and confident OF sue
cess. I have the greatest admiration for
the Cuban common soldier. I have never
seen anything written like what I saw of
him. He has none of the comforts of life.
The officer has hammock, canopy and
horse. The private has none of these, and
very little clothing. l have seen whole
regiments with nothing but breech-cloth
on. They AIRY sack over their back

ment of his discovery. He sold the right
of using the process to several lronmas-
ters, but they could not produce thu pure
sreel, and the process was dlscredlted.
This set Bessener experimenting. tie
found that the reason why this convert
er would not work IN the mills was the
presence in the ore OF matter that was alb
sent from the ores he used. After Tour
years of labour no again came forward,
but the irOnnasters would have none OF
him. Then he bought back the rights
be had sold and went into tho steel Fusl-
ness on his own account, and in SbenleIQ
at that, the very heart of the Industry.
What the Besselner process has done since
then is written in the history of every in
dustry in the world III which steel Is
used. The results are simply inconeeiv-
able, and the mind reels as it contem-
plates them.
A visit to Bessemer plant is rewarded
with q spectacle as beautiful and inspir-
ing as the most vivid imagination could
picture. The converter is an eggshap ped
vessel, with a cone-shaped mouth. Into
this vessel is poured melted white hot
cast iron. Through the fluid mass is
poured stream of atmospheric air, which
perneates the iron and touches every
atom of it. The oxygen in the air files to
the carbon and silicon and produces
combustion that keeps the iron IN It's
molten condition until every particle of
impurity is consumed, and there remains
nothing but the steel. The converter is
mounted on trunnions, and can be
Clipped and turned as a teaoup in the
hand of a man. The process is a grand
one, fully as awe-inspiring as one would
look for when the Importance of the dis
eovery is considered. Once that the liquid
metal ia poured into the converter and
the blast turned on, no fuel is needed.
The oxygen burning within maintains
the metal at a temperature really higher
than when taken from the furnace. The
product is pure steel that may be bent or
twisted, cold, and used for any purpose
under the sun to which steel is put Sir
Henry Bessemer made a great fortune ont
of his invention. And he deserved it,
for were it not for his brain, his energy,
his own faith in himself, there would
probably be no steel rails in the world
today.
Before the Bessemer process came in
vogue the production of steel in Great
Britain was only $4,000 tons annually.
and the average price, was $25C ton.
During the depressed condition of trade
in 1877 the Bessemer mill alone produced
75O, 0OO tons at an average price of $50 a
ton. In 1899 the total production of Bes-
se1ner would be represented by bar of
steel 1854 feet high and 100 feet thick.
The saving to the world by the cheaper
ing of steel is estimated at 5000, 900, 900
year-equal to the worlds entire output
of gold for the same period.
