McKINLEY'S SOUTHERN TRIP.
From a Negroes Standpoint.

The effect OF the President Southern trip of
reconciliation and fraternity means no good to
the Negroes. We aresin favor of the North
and Soutd wiping out sectional lines, but we
object to the wiping out of the Negroes, which
we fear is ultimately contemplated. We are in
favor of there being no North and no South,
but we very much desire that there be some Ne
groes. If the coming together of these two
mighty mountains means the crushing of the
Negroes, then we are in favor of their eternal
separation. Cannot the North and the South
settle their little differences and let the Negroes
live? Is death necessary to their union? Why
we are hated so is amazingly? What is it about
the Negroes that makes them so despieable?
The number of muattoes among us show that
we have been close friends. Ths is strange
friendship. The mulatto has no more show
and no more chance for his life than the black
est Negro. If black is a curse, then the mu
lattoes ought to fare better than the blacks; for
some of them can pass for white. We over
heard white man say on the streets of Savan-
nah that he hoped no Negro soldier would be
sent to Savannah. We could not help wonder
ing why.
We looked at him and said to ourself: ''You
sucked at the breast, doubtless, of some Negro
woman, and some Negro woman nursed you,
and some Negro cooked the breakfast you ate
this morning, some Negro washed the shirt you
have on, some Negro backed your shoes. The
Negroes saved the Rough Riders at Sontiago.
Negroes have done more for this country than
you ever have done or ever will do, and yet you
hate them. 0, thou personihcation of ingrati-
tude! Hating those who have done you naught
but dness!-Baptist Truth Savannah Ga.)

He advocates that congress should take this
matter in hand, as state legislatures, he says,
are powerless, because corporations would sim
ply be driven from one state to another by any
attempt at legislation on the part of the states
Governor Pingree finds fault with the pres
ent national administration, saying that "the
wal was preciptated ty .clarnor of an unscru-
pulous press, with the cooperation of equal
ly unscrupulous politicians, who hoped that
the excitement and hysteria of war would dis
tract the popular mind from the abuses of their
msgovernment and from the grievances which
our people suffered and still sufer-greater
than those which any OF Spain's subjects had
to complain of.
Decided opposition was expressed to the an
nexation of the Philippines, the Governor
claiming that they are i'll no way necessary to
our safety, or even usefulness, as are the Ha-
waiian islands, and the Antilles He says:
"The scheme of annexation is simply weak
imitation of the policy of European monarch
les, conceived in apparent Ignorance or indif-
ference respecting the vastly different cond
tons which have forced those powers into
distant colonization" ;"
Relative to public ownership of railways,
Governor Pingree says 81 most earnestly
recommend that this legislature inaugurate
policy looking to the ultimate purchase by the
state of all the railroads within its limits"
The Governor recommends that "a law be
passed providing that all candidates for each
elective >ofice, from governor down to ward Of
fcers, be nominated by direct vote of the
electors

GOVERNOR PINGREE SCARED
By the InrOadS Made by the Trusts.

Following is an abstract of Governor Pin
gree message to the Michigan legislature:
Governor Pingree congratulates the state on
its progress and the era Of prosperity which is
opening up before it. Equal TAXATION he treats
at length, saying that it is the most important
question in the state to-day, and that the pres
ent state administration was put in power ex-
pressly to take some action looking to an equit-
able system Of taxation. He argued tha the
railroads aud other corporations should be
brought under the tax law instead of being as
sessed upon their gross earnings, as at present.
Governor Pingrce then recommends the re-
pealing of the special charters of the Michigan
Central aud Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwau-
kee roads, so as to bring them under the gen
er.l tax laws. The attempt at the special
session last spring TO pass the Atkinson bill,
which has equal taxation for its object, is re-
ferred to, and the Governor recommends a
moderate income tax upon all incomes over
81 900 year. The progress made by the
trusts in recent years has alarmed the Governor,

UNCLE NOSE ON THE PHILIPPINES.

Written for the AGrTAToR..
"We'd orter shoot them fellers down
Them fellers in the Philippines.
We'd orter shell their captured town,
md let 'em know jes' what we mean.
We'd orter let 'em know that we
Are the hull thing on land and sea-"
And then George Oldham Pumpkinhead
Seemed satisfied with what he'd said,
And dropped himself down in his seat
And mopped his face, red as beet.
"It 'peais to me-" said Uncle Nose,
AS he, i'll turn, quite slowly rose,
THAT some folks in these latter days
Have some most mighty dam queer ways.
They'll yell fer liberty tonight,
Nd wanter 60 right out m fight;
Nd fore the sun is up, these braves
Ii help forge chains ter make more slaves. J"
"That's what they will, )" chiined Pumpkin
head;
"Not sense enough to go to bed"
"Who says that La Fayette wuz not
The hottest stuf-a patriot?
He and his valiant band O. men
Came nobly to the rescue when
Our grand forefathers dared to die
Fer liberty fer you md l.
Did France do right to send them here
To win Our liberty SO dear?'
"You bet she did!'' chimed G. O. P.
"She did jes' right fer you m me-"
"'Nd when we won, did France come round
ND take measure NV the ground,
ND offer johnny Bull first cost
Fer turnin' over what he'd lost?
Er did France say to our folks here!
We've won yer liberty so dear.
Plant now the tree nv liberty;
We only fought to set ye free?
"She sad,' chimed G. o. p, "that We
He'd done our part, md should be free"
"Kerrect!' said Uncle Nose; "'nd now,

Times whirligig brings great changes. The
proudest boast OF the Republican party is that
it freed the Negro from slavery anG made man
of him. At the Peace o-called-at
Atlanta, Georgia, the other day, President Nc
Kinley was an honored guest. A feature of the
Jubilee was procession. The workingmen
were to take part aud Mckinley was to view it.
When the delegation Of workngmen appeared,
200 in number, it was found that there were
many coored men among them, and they were
promptly notified that niggers were not wanted.
The entire delegation accordingly left the pro-
cession, and did not reappear. The white
workingmen refused to take part in ''peace
Jubilee" where their black brothers were not
welcome If Abe Lincoln or Wendell Phillips
or William Lloyd Garrison shad been il Nc
Kinley's place, the "peace" OF the occasion
would have been interrupted right then ard
there, and the Southern brgadiers would have
heard a sermon on the rights of man, white or
black. But Deacon Mckinley smiled placidly,
overlooked the outrage and when his turn to
speak came uttered lot of twaddle about the
"New South" the "obliteration of sectional
lines" the "loyalty of the boys in gray and a
warning against hauling down the fag.-Da-

Carnegie'S Heart Is With EditOr Stead.

William 7. Stead, editor of the Review of
Reviews, who has recently been agitating ga
great pilgrimage of peace through all nations,
beginning at San Francisco and ending at st.
Petersburg," has received numerous letters from
America, all sympathizing with the cause of
peace.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie writet:
81 need not say that my heart is with you
and that wish you Godspeed. You have your
field and have mine. l am absorbed in an ef-
fort to keep this industrial union from failing
away from its higher plane to the level of Eu-
ropean powers, which are armed camps. l can
not leave this work or drive it from me, even if
wished. 1t is not what can that am do
ing, but what must.
"Do not make the mistake in believing that
American people are in favor of departure
from the policy of the fathers. A plebiscite
to-day would drown the imperlalists. Every
labor organization speaks practically unanimous
ly against the'imperialist policy The farming
interests are alarmed; and even if we ratify
the treaty with Spain, and hold the Philippines,
it will be only until the day of reckoning comes.
Then the world will have another proof that
the voice Of the people is the voice of God.

and am still yours for triumphant democ-
