the men in the regular army, domi-
nate absolutely and control two hun
dred millions of Hindoos. If there
were change of policy on the part
of the National Government towards
the colored race in the Southern
States, and the negro were allowed
to drop absolutely out Of politics, a
great cause for irritation would be
removed. It is notorious fact that
tor twenty years or more the negroes
in the South, who constitute the
bulk of the Republican voters, only
enter into national politics as fac
tor in the Republican national con-
ventions and as means Of holding
together the old abolition sentiment,
which 80 long gave impulse and
direction to Republican politics. 1t
! alone responsible for the "solld
oouth." There has been a great
revolution in sentiment and feeling
at the North on. this subject, as is
shown by the annexation of Hawaii,
without any pretence of consulting
the wishes or protecting the interests
of the colofed races there, as we'll rs
by the attitude of Governor Tanner,
of Illinois, in refusing to protect the
imported negro miners ut Virden and
Pana. "Blood is thicker than water"
in Illinois, and | believe in nearly
every other Northern State, at this
time, and were it not for the necessi.
ty, or imagined necessity, of controll.
ing the votes from the South in the
National Republican Convention, so
as to insure the nomination of this
man or that, there would be soon no
political aspect to the race question.
One thing is certain as anything
earthly can be certain, the white men
Of the South will not submit to negro
control of their politics, local, State
or national. The crime of rape or
brutal murder, such as that of Mrs.
Atkinson, will meet punishment sure
and swift. The negro must take a
subordinate place, and he will be
treated with consideration and kind
ness in proportion as he ;s peaceable
and we'll behaved, and make friends
of his white neighbors. The dis
franchisement Of tho ignorant ne
groes in South Carolina, by constitu-
tional and lawful methods, has
worked no injury, but is o benefit IN
many respects, insuring peace and
good order and, as far rs possible, a
cessation of angry race feeling. Che
outbreak at Phoenix would not, and
could not, have occurred but for the
leadership and inspiration of design
ing and selfish white mon. Loft to
himself tho negro cares nothing about
politics, for his experience in this
State has shown him that it is hot
iron. and always burns him when
over he touches it.
Senator Tillman is resting at home,
and by the way; he is having his
home neatly repainted. 1t was a
rainy and dreary day here, and he
inquired about matters in the State,
talked about the race troubles and
read some bits of literature. Sena.
tor Tillman and his family will leave

queen viotoriA,s New yaOht.

The new royal yacht promises to be
we'll worthy the greatest maritime ma
tion. 1t is decided that the vessel shall
be purely yacht The general design
will follow pretty closely on that of the
present yacht, but the new one will be
propelled by screws instead of paddle
wheels. 1t will be $50 feet long be-
tween perpendioulars, 90 feet beam and
Is feet draft and have a displacement
OF 1900 tons. The engines will be of
the triple expansion, four cylinder type,
with four oranks. There will be two
sets of driving twin screws, and steam
will be supplied from IS BellevilIe boil
ers. The engines have been designed to
develop IL, 900 horsepower on trial of
eight hours duration, with speed of 30
knots. The yacht will be built of steel,
with every possible care as regards SUBJ
division arrangements, so as to prevent
any possibility of sinking in case Of col
lision. The Prince of Wales and the
Duke of York have had the plans before
them several times, and her majesty
has herself taken much interest in them
also, although she has preferred to take
expert advice on the subject London

GUINEA FOWLS FOB GAME.
Experiment VIII BE Tried with Them
In the South Jersey syvanps.

experiment Win BE Tried With Them
In the South Jersey swamps.
While the sportsmen who roamed
through the great swamps of Cane Nav
county n. j., in search of game this
fall met with fairly good luck, yet they
recognize the fact that the cunning in
that section of the state, especially
where the killing of rabbits, ouails
pheasants and other small game is con-
cerned. ~ not what it formerly was or
should be. A number of the local dew
otees of the gun who reside at Dennis
VIE and Goshen are especially DESTROYS
OF enjoying better spost, and with that
end in view they propose utilizing the
thousands Of acres Of swamp waste land
by stocking it with guinea fowls. These
birds, whose harsh, chattering cry is
the bane Of the poultry raiser's life, are
usually shy and hard to approach, even
when associating with other denizens
Of the barnyard.
Those who will try the experiment Of
making them game birds are fully con-
WINGED that once they are turned loose
in the swamps they will soon become
as wild as they are in their native ooun-
try. The guinea fowl is prolific breed
er, and it invariably in the breeding
season goes far from the barnyard to rear
its yonng, oftentimes remaining away
for weeks at time. The swamps Of
south Jersey are we'll adapted to it's
wants, for berries and green's, to which
it is partial, thrive abundantly. 1t
is believed that where the birds are set
adrift far from human habitation they
will rear progeny that will be exceed
ingly wild.
The guinea has as much advantage in
flying powers as either the quail or
pheasant, while it surpasses either of
the latter birds in the use of it's feet. 1t
is rapid runner. 1t is also hardy
bird and could no doubt Withstand the
severest south Jersey winter.
The experimentation such it will be
at first--may be the means of introduce
ing the most novel sport of guinea fowl
shooting. Sportsmen will be greatly in
terestee in the trial anyhow. About
100 pairs of the birds will be distribut-
cd in the early spring in various Sec
tions of the county some weeks before
their usual breeding ssascn.-New York

slope. call for the manufacture without
delay of 100, 600 pounds of the new ex-
plosive. The formula for preparing the
powder has been furnished to the manu-
facturers by the navy department.
Gunners soon find out at target prac-
tice that, let alone having to wait for
action, the fire of nearby gun throws
off so dense a smoke that it seriously
interferes with aiming
The great trouble has been in obtain
ing smokeless powder which would
stand the variations of temperature and
also the test of time The majority Of
smokeless powders have nitroglycelin
as basis In the event of chemical ac-
ton taking place as result of time it
might happen that some form of smoke

gerously high explosive. The guns of
the navy under the regulations in force
must not be subjected to pressure of
over 10 tons to the square inch. The
idea In developing new powder is to

velocity to projectiles on low pressure
