Good Appointments.

The Graphicean heartily commend Mayor Alexander's appointment of MT. c. M. Phitpotas Chief of Police of this city. 4 better -appoin tment could not have been made, and the Mayor is exceedingly fortunate ID securing Me. Philpot's services in tEat capacity. Mr. Philpot was for three terms the Constable of Vaa- zine township and made 3 most ca pable and efficient officer, and we doubt not will give the same satis- faction as Chief of Police. We con graduate Mayor Alexander on bis selection.
 We also commend the reappoint- ment Of Mr. Chas. Senyard as Chief of the Fire Department. Mr, Sen yard has proved his efficiency in this capacity iu the past, asd to appoint any other at this time would be to greatly destroy the efficiency of the Fire Department and jeopardize the interests of the city at time when our citizens are already alarmed about fire insurance. Mr. SenYard 8 reappointment IS ar assurance that the efficiency of the fire department will be kept up to it's present stand. ard.

T have been asking myself late .Iy some very ser. .ous questions, and I want to put one or two of them to you. Is there any reason why the negro in the South should continue to oppose the Southern white man
 L bis politics2 Is not this the source of nearly all our trouble? Unconsciously we seem to have got ten the idea into our blood and bones that we are acting in manly way when weoppose Southern white men with our votes.
 "I believe that Gov. Johnston, of Alabama, is just as good to the black man as Hon. Williams Young blood, of Alabama. Hon. William Youngblood has about 400 white followers in Alabama, while Hon. Joseph Jonston has 500 GOO white followers ia Alabama. Why should We longer follow Mr. Youngblood with his 400 white followers rather than Gov. Jos. F. Johnston with his 500, 900 followers when no princspI e is at stake?p
 Commenting on the above the Arkansas Democrat very correctly says
 s'Ttis this idea that the negro of the South must oppose the Demo cratic party in an that undertakes that has caused so much trouble. The thoughts contained in the fore going should commend themselves to the consideration of intelligent coiored voters of the South. "

Several business houses of Pine Bluff had almost consummated ar engagements for removing to new quarters when the antitrust law placed a check on such operations. Obviously, the merchants would de- sire their insurance transferred to cover the new location. sThe local agents, having their hands tied, can not properly endorse the policies, so application was made direct to the companies. The companies repOnd that if they "are deharred from mak- ing any new contracts Tn the State, they certainly have no right to chaLge the old ones and for that reason they cannot comply with the requests made" The position of the companies is most natural. If they are guilty of making new contracts, they would certainly be guilty if they changed any now existing. This obnoxious phase of the law is one which the people of the State did not anticipate. The merchants will have to remain in their present localities until some action is taken by the courts.

Slow Assimilation. 1

tThe expaEsionists with much eompIacency assured the country that the rebellion in sthe Philip plnes, was crushed when our troops captured the empty city of Malolos, which was said to be the capitol of the Filipinos, but fighting is still goi4g on. General Lawton yester- day captured Santa Cruz, another deserted town; after killing sixty or more natives led. it is said, by a Chinaman. The taking of towns in the Philippines after the inhabit- ants have abandoned them seems to be quite an easy task, but the trouble is that we have not quite succeeded il eorralling the Filipino armies, which, from all accounts, are still on the move, and disposed to 2 we an infinite amount of trouble, says the New Orleans States.
 "IEstead of the so called rebellion ia the Philippines being crushed, in- formation comes from Washington to the effect that more troops are needed to reinforce General Otis, and the President is3preparing to is sue a call for a part or the whole of the 35, 900 volunteers authorized by the army reorganization bill. An Associated Press dispatch from Manila also quotes one of the gener- al officers of the army there as say ing that 100 900 soldiers will be needed to establish the sovereignty of the United States over the is- lands; therefore, It is evident that the work of benevolently assimilat- ing the Filipiros is not progressing in a very encouraging manner On the contrary, if the people were told the truth respecting the actual situ- ation in the Philippines they would realize at once that a long and desul- tory warfare by the natives will have to be met by our troops which will cost this country thousands of precious lives and millions of dol- lars.
