as they become aggressive and lawless

NORFOLK, VA. August n.-(Special.)-
As intimated I'm these columns yesterday,
the latest rumor of the transfer of the
Atlantic and Danville railway to the
Southern system is true. The officials OF
neither system are In position 10 talk.
but the fact Is that negotiations, which
have been in progress for some time past
have been cOnsummated, and the Allan
tic and Danvlle will this fall become an
integral part OF the Southern railway
system under the same terms that dozens
OF other lines are operated by that COM
pany-that IS, under a lease for q long
term of years The Southern's trains Will
probably run over the newly acquired line
10 Primers Point. where the Southern
own great terminals are located. This
will probably abrOgate the existing track

THE JEWETT-BAKER SHOW.

That very absurd performance Of that
very absurd young person, Miss Jewett,
in taking the Baker family to Boston,
has resulted in placing the Boston
papers in a very absurd position. Boston
IS great on tradition and it would be
gross violation Of tradition for Boston
not TO give aid, comfort, ana encourage
ment TO anything smacking Of the fanau-
cal. Indeed, when fanatcism takes the
form of championing the cause of the
"down-trodden man ana brother" a
failure Of Boston to sympathize with
It would be worse than a sin against
tradition. 1t would be as rank heresy
as eating "biled" instead Of baked beans.
The Boston papers, however, recognize
that Miss Jewett has brought an ee-
Ihant, or. rather a family of elephants,
TO their city. These elephants are now
upon her hands and the hands Of her
combination, but our contemp ,rsries are
puzzled to know upon whom they will
be unloaded when the show ceases to
draw. As consequence while on the
one side loyalty to Boston traditions
prompts them to applaud Miss Jewetts
motives: on the other. considerations Of
prudence inspire them to maledlct her
discretion.
Again, in the last few years, conscious
ly or unconsciously, the mental horizon
of Boston has broadened, and the Boston
mind has been brought. all things con-
sidered. TO an encouraging state of re-
captivity regarding the truth about the
conditions in the South and the causes
of these conditions. The Boston papers
can no longer shut out from their
inner consciousness the fact that practi-
eally all the woes the colored brother at
the South has suffered can be traced TO
the influence of the Republican party
over the negro, and the acts of that party
In endeayoring 10 use the negro to hu-
initiate the whites of this section The
appointment Of Baker to a postmaster
ship was one of the most outrageous or
these acts. and the blood Of Baker rests
upon the head of the administration.
This our Boston contemporaries virtually
admit, but the admission comes out IN
an agonizing see-sawing effort to avoid
vheresy," yet at the same time show
progress in doing the South justice, which
IS ludicrous to behold.
However, as we have SAID, the increased
reoeptvity OF the Boston mind as re-
CARDS the truth about the South is, all
things considered, encouraging. There
fore, we trust that our Boston contempt
raries will not question our sincerity wher
we tell them that although we can
mob repress a smile over their struggle
we fully appreciate the awkwardness anc
seriousness of the fix the Jewett-BakeI
show has gotten them into.
