PLANS NEARLY COMPLETED.
Aldace F. Walker of the Santa Fe,
Talks of Proposed Steamship Line.

Chicago, May 21.-Chairman Walker
of the board of directors of the Santa
Fe in an interview confirmed the report
that the Atchison is about to establish
a steamship line between San Diego and
Yokohama, and added also that Dew
ey's victory at Manila will probably
change the original plans to the extent
that the boats will touch at the Philip
pine islands.
Mr.. Walker declares that negotiations
for the esta blishment of the line are all
but complete, and that he expects them
to be closed within a few days.
Negotiations are actually pending
with several companies, but the proba-
bilitieS are that a contract will be made
with a japanese steamship corporation
the name of which is withheld for the
present.

THANKS FOR REPUBLICANS AND
POPILKSTS.

The Messenger has delayed perform
ing a duty and pleasure under the
pressure of other editorial demands.
1t is to return to the republicans n
pOpulists who aided the democrats SO
much in the recent election the very
cordial thanks of the Messenger, and
its most earnest Fluctuations for the
noble work they did. They rose above
prejudice and habit, and above narrow
partisanship, and manfully and patri-
otically came to the rescue of North
Carolina from negro rule and negro
ruin. The appeals of their race were
higher han the claims of party. The
crying necessities of the times and the
high sense of patriotic duty clothed
them with new power, and they stood
by the White Men who were anxiously,
earnestly, bravely seeking to place
both races henceforth under the gov
of the White Race. 1t was
nObly done, and every man of them
richly deserve the united, hearty
thanks of every democrat. They
proved themselves real friends Of
North Carolina so m~isgoverned n
~wronged. They laid aside their ma
tional political principles, and hearing
the cry Of their race they came up to
the help of their neighbors and friends
in the hour of distress, and when the
battle was raging heavily against
them* They deserve the civic crown
that the good and honest citizen wears.
If they would continue to help the
democrats in all proper efforts to serve
and bless North Carolina, they will in
crease the obligation.

If a Wilmington newspaper were to

(WaShingtOn POSt.)

1t appears that some 5000 of our ne
Fifth Baptist church., on Vermont av-
enue, last Monday night, and relieved
their feelings by a noisy denunciation
of affairs in the Carolinas, and, Incl
dentally, of The Washington Post. The
proceedings no doubt amused them. At
any rate, we hope SO. There is moth
ing like a rousing assemblage, with
plenty Of fervor and perspiration, and
no possibility of trouble, to relieve
the o~verburdened mind and reduce the
caloric in the system. Of course, very
few of the negroes present had any in
telligent conception of the circum-
stances of the case. We are quite
willing to believe that they were sin
cere and honest in their expressions
Of Indignation. To them, the events
Of the past few weeks in the Carolinas
presented the appearance of a wicked
wrong. We shall not waste time in
trying to convince them to the contra
ry. Let it pass
We were especially interested, how
ever, in the remarks Of Colonel Perry
Carson. Colonel Carson has always
been the object of our esteem. AS we
appraiSe him, he is a man of worth
and Substance-a man who could go
to one of the Carolinas or any other
southern state and live for the rest of
his life in the enjoyment of the re-
spect and good will of all reputable
white men. He has brains and tact,
good sense and dignity, and he would
surround himself with friends in any
locality whatsoever. We are bound to
say, however, that Colonel Carson as
founded US with his talk about pow
der and shot and pistols" etc. It was
not the kind of talk We expected from
so sensible a a We can hardly
bring ourselves to believe that Colonel
Carson really meant it. The chances
all are that he was carried away by
the innocent enthusiasm of the moment
and by a general and highly creditable
desire to contribute to the gayety of
nations. He was not seriOus-he could
not hav been serious. Colonel Carson
is too good a man, too prudent a man,
to sensible a man to deliberately ad-
wise his fellow negroes to enter upon
a course Of violence which can result
only in their destruction. He would
not do it himself if he lived in North
or South Carolina. He would pursue
there the same policy he has adopted
here, and thrive upon the esteem and
confidence of his white ~neighbOrS. He
is a true friend of his own race, and
would be the last to LEAD them to their
injury.
OF the prevailing tone of the meet
ing we must say that it was unwise,
albeit innOCuOuS enough. The Carolina
negroes have had enough by this time
OF mi5cilieN Il ~cOunseiS from men who
abandOn them at the first approach of
danger. It is not likely that they will
act upOn the advice of men who have
kept at a safe distance from the be-
Cjnnino + iC nnCu TO no irtr1piI ooI
impetous 500 miles out of range. The
negroes of the south will take all this
frOthy vociferation at it's true value.
But why have SO much ~incendiary out
cry or any terms? What good purpose
does it serve? h end of humanity
or civilization does it promote? 1t can
avail only to aggravated disaster and
increase the sufferings of the helpless
and the innocent-both black and
white.
