Mis-. Annie Riley Hale Of Rogers
Vile, Tenn. has written an admirable
letter to the New York Times on the
future Of the negro In the south. Her
view of the case Is 50 calm and judi
cious and humanitarian that it con-
trasts In a very marked manner with
the views Of Major James Kardaman
Of Mississippi who is making strong
canvass for the Democratic nomination
for governor on the most reactionary
platform ever advanced by the radical
opponents OF the negro. If he could
have his way, he would Danish all ne
gro schools in the state. He plants
himself sQuarely on this doctrine and
has apparently a large following in
the state. His own words are: 1T is
folly and criminal folly to talk about
advancing the negro race by educa-
ton. The negro is not permitted by
God Almighty to advance, and his edu-
cation simply spells good field hand
and makes a shyster lawyer Of him."
In contradistinction to this Mrs. Hale
says decidedly that the time has come
when, If we would meet these trou-
bles in the south bravely, We must lift
the negro to our level or we must de-
scend to his. Which shall 1t BET Let
the enlightened judgment Of this coun-
try, without regard to section or poll.
tics, make answer, and let It be done
with due regard for the welfare Of
both races. This assuredly Is the right
view to take Of the present problem.
The two races are inseparably asso-
ciated in this country. and neither Of
them can be deported without injury
to the other. At present nothing but
provincial politics stands in the way
Of the advancement and the amelior1-
cation Of the negro.

There rolled into the Eagle office yes
terday George Boltwood and he mounted
the mizzen-msst and hove TO IN the edi-
torial rooms and introduced himself. He
is an English sailor. He shipped some
months ago as a fireman from Cardiff,
Wales. on the steamship Glanton. with q
cargo Of freight. and got his discharge

ton to see what the Anglo-Saxon in the

his way up through the country he

fights are blooming gay" While in the
Eagle office he took occasion to write a
piece Of poetry to the glory Of the Anglo
Saxon. but owing to a lack Of space only
the last stanza can be reproduced. It is
as follows: :
The Anglo-Saxon race than in Europe
Other pow ers they are trying TO downfall,
But Uncle Sam and the Union Jack boys
They are always there at any call.
For it's the Anglo-Saxon race

over those doubly scored passages sew

assimilated these let him again read the
other words attributed to Christ which
he did not understand when he first read
them, and let him score In red those
which have become plain to him. Let
him leave unscored words of Christs
which remain unintelllgible and also UNI

what the authors of the gospels said that
is Ineligible.

uo,,NEux AND THE EXPERTS.

IL looks as though Roland b. MolineuX
would escape the penalties of the law.
The last grand jury refused to indict
him for the murder OF Mrs. Adams, and
now he is only held upon a warrant just
issued, charging him with attempting to
poison Harry c. Cornish.
Mr.. Cornish is the man to whom the
poisoned bromoSeltzer was sent through
the mails: Mrs. Adams was the woman
who. having a headache. was innocently
given a dose from the vial in question.
II would seem that If there Is no case
against the prisoner upon the charge of
murder, there is none against him upon
the charge of assault, as the offence
against Cornish Is technically designated
In other words, IL the death OF Mrs
Adams be not ;raccable to Mollneux's
criminal act in sending the poison TO Cor
nish. then really there is nothing he can
be punished for.
The turn thu case has taken has caused
n sensation in New York From the

LESSON by COMPARISON.

According TO q New England cohteih-
porary our humanitarian mission mas al
ready cost us the price Of d wheat crop
such as was harvested in 1892, 1885, 1871
or 1855. Here is the exhibit to sustain the
assertion.
In the last fiscal year the war cost
was estimated by Assistant secretary
Vanderlip at $56N0.OOO. In the ten months
Of the current fiscal year the expendi-
tures of the Army and Navy departments
foot up $2G6. l6S, i3O. During the cores
bonding months of the last fiscal year
the two departments spent ss1,SSs,oto' Oh
which according to the figures given by
Mr.. Vanderlip. $l40O0,o0O was for war eX-
penditures in March and April, 1885, leav-
ing the expenditures Of the departments
on a peace basis at $sl.3S,565 for the ten
months under comparison. Thus the ex-
penditures Of the two departments du-
ring the current fiscal year exceed those
for the same period of the late fiscal year
on a peace level by slSi,I7S.S65. To this
amount must be added the S2OoO'VV paid
to Spain a few days ago for lOWoWo flh-
pinos at 81 per head. The three items
specified foot up $500 &c., an amount
which represents as closely as one can
come TO il the actual outlay Of the War
and Navy departments caused by the hos
tilities with Spain and benevolent assim-
ilation" in the Philippines.
1t will be noticed that it is not claimed
that the war has cost the price of the
big crop of 1898 or of that of 1887, when the
shortage abroad forced the value of
wheat up to very high figures. The wheat
crop of 1897 brought the largest amount of
money received for a crop since 1891. But
if we add to the cost of the war, as above
given, the interest on war bonds and
other charges indirectly connected with
hostiities, it will doubtless be found that
our mission has swallowed up the price
of the crop of 1898 or 1897.
This is in itself a striking lesson by COM
parson. But what it teaches is en-
phasized by the fact that If the admins
tration's Philippine policy is to be con-
summated, there is no telling when the
taxation represented in the figures will
cease.

NAIJETOA's DEMAND.

King Malietoa Tanu-thats our Off
color protege over in Samoa, we believe,
in fact, we know it's dissatisfied with
the way the eXchequer is run. He de-
mands that be be paid $3.50 per month,
which is thrice the amount that was
paid Malietoa Iaupepa.
As kings go. as a rule, $50 per month
is little enough to support the kingly
office, and we are not prepared 10 say
that the demand of our fellow ought
not to be complied with. None the less,
the curiosity of the world is doubtless
excited to know what King Malietoa
would do with $50 a month if he had it.
According to Admiral Kautz's descrp-
ton of the kingly style of dress in
Samoa, about cents a month would
keep Malietoa in the tip Of the fashion,
so far as clothes are concerned. And he
couldn't want the balance for pocket
money, for he hasn't any pocket to keep
it in.
