TILLMAN ON THE NEGROES,

In letter to Rev. J. L.. Dart, lead
ing colored minister of Charleston,
South Carolina, Senator Tillman says
This l do know, the negro must remain
subordinate or be exterminated and +,
for one, will always set my face like flint
against any injustice or unfairness to-
ward him as long as he remains in his
proper sphere and leaves politics alone
The whites are in the ascendency and
Will remain so whatever comes. And as
the superior and more civilized race,
they owe it to themselves to protect the
negro in his right to 'life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" even though
that declaration was written by slave
holder who did not take the negro into
consideration when he wrote it.
Probably this is fair expression of
the present feeling of most of the ''best"
white people in the South. The negroes
We're once slaves and the best" people
in the South intended to keep them so.
but the negroes are not now slaves, and
IN the course of time and change they
may get more equal rights than Sena-
tor Tillman and Others who agree with
MIN now intend to give them 1t is
slow work, but if the southern negroes
nave patience and behave as well and
as judiciously as most of them are now
dong they will in time be Influential
enough to get many if not all of their
rights.

While the tendency toward the fluffy

ness, it is by no means an essential The
new fashions in skirts see mbest with

plain there Is no great demand for it
on the bodice. Every one will grant
that a plain skirt is best mated for
dressy use by an elaborate bodice. but
when the skirt is somewhat complicat-
ed the bodice need not be much more

triple or even double to come within
this rule The fancy for combining
two materials in skirts is strong, and
when this is done a bodice OF compare

this. The plain portions of its skirt

FASHION NOTES.
Capes Win FLUFFY Insides,

Though the new fashions indicate
that fluffy and elaborate effects will be
lessened in fall and winter gowns, the
little short cape remains to contribute
its share of elaborateness. Very often
the throat finish will be wondrous lace
boa, while the silken lining will be run
with row on row of frills, lace or chif-
fon. So when the cape hangs open, as
1t most always will, its fiuffiness is dis
closed charmingly. Such a shoulder
wrap sets off the smooth length of the
skirt and the general height Of the
wearer. A gown of almost severe prln-
cess outline made of clinging cloth, with
a cape of cloth to match elnbelllshed as
suggested, will be finished very prettily.

JUDGE FREER

Of the Fourth West Virginia District,
Coming to the FrOnt-Placed on
the Committee to Investigate the
Claim of Mr. Roberts, of Utah, to a
Seat in the House.
Special Dispatch to the Intelllgencer,
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 5.--Rep-
resentatIve Frecr came suddenly into
general notice, and not through effort
of his, to-day. He was named as u
member of the special committee Np-
pointed by the speaker. all strong men,
to investigate the charges against the
representative-etect from Utah. The
committee was appointed late this af-
ternoon, at the conclusion of that most
sensational episode in which man nm
der charges pleaded against the inevi-
table. It is the consensus Of opinion
that while Mr.. Roberts. whose pres
ence on the floor Of the house was In
large degree upon sufterance, evidenced
the ability Of an orator, he injured his
cause, first, by ringing in an attack
upon the administration, which Gener-
al Grosvenor was quick to take i'd
vantage Of; and, second. by placing
the Democratic party on the rack, as
he did, when he cTaftlly appealed for
party protection. The crushing vote Of
about seven to one against him on one
of the votes was by no means q COM
pliment to his labored, yet at times ell
oquent, plea.
The selection OF Judge Freer, is re-
garded by his friends as tribute to
his ability and as an indication that he
will be placed on the judiciary commit
tee OF the house. He was the third
named on the list Of the special COM
