A REFUGE FOR NEGROES.
The Island of Hayti May Serve to
Help Settle Racial Troubles OF
This Country.

An experience OF third of a century
since the war has shown that The white
and black races in the southern states
will never harmoniZe. says the Chicago
Tribune. The recent injustice inflict-
ed upon the blacks in North Carolina
are but one item in situation prevail
ing all over the south. To a certain de-
gree Bishop Turner Is right when he
$nys there is no "manhoGd future" for
his race in these states II would be to
the mutual advantage of both whites
and blacksif all the dissatisfied negroes
in the cotton states could be induced 10
20 to some country where they could
live their own. life and develop On their
own way.
The world has not failed TO note
what a roor aagger the blackSof Hayti
have made at development during the
century OF independence which they
have enjoyed since they got rid of the
French and Spanish yokes. Rut this; IS
the fault Of the peonle and not Of the IS
land. There is no better or more con-
venient country in the world for the
American negroes TO emigrate TO than
this same rich and luxuriant island of
Hayti. If our discontented southern
negroes cannot improve and progress
there. winning for themselves an in
crease Of wealth and Of comfort. tfien
they cannot do it in Africa or anywhere
on earth.

HOW CLOTHS WERE NAMED.
Linsey-woolsey was first made at
Linsey, and was for long time very
popular fabric.
Kerseymere takes it's name from the
village of Kersey and the mere close by
It, in the county of Suffolk.
Travellers by rail in Brittany often
glide past Guingamp without remem-
bering that it was here that produced
that useful fabric gingham.

A MASCOT DEAD.
Pet Rooster of the Nebraska Boys
Lives No More.

(Manila Times)
A rooster brought from Nebraska by
a recruit was named Dewey. This
rooster was never whipped. II fought
at Camp Merritt, San Francisco, it
fought at Camp Otis, Honolulu, and ii
fought at Camp Santa Mesa, the pre-
sent camp of the 1st Nebraska regi-
ment.
When the boys went aboard the boat
at San Francisco, they managed, by a
little scheming. TO take the mascot
with them.
At Camp Otis there was victory after
victory and Dewey was widely
known as the victor in every battle.
Lately the record had been kept TO its
high standard but the career of the
noble bird ended Tuesday night, Jan
uary "A, 1899. The cause of Dewey s
death is supposed to have been due &c
very high fever.
The funeral took place yesterday
morning Immediately after guarC
mount. The band led the procession
playing a funeral march. and following
the corpse was an escort with sid,
arms; a long column of twos followed
4 little east of the camp the remain:
were inferred and taps sounded.
The honor done the rooster was be
cause it had a record and had kept i
untarnished like the admiral for whom
| it was named--the Dewey of Manil.

DESTINY.

There is a great deal Of driveling
idiocy uttered in these days about
national destiny" and superior ma
tural forces" as if those and sim
liar phrases eliminated the moral
laws from all the greater cues
tons Of human affairs. But the
pretense Is just rs silly as that which
alleged that individual genius" was
emancipated from the same restraints
and responsibilities. and was n law
unto itself; and in both cases the real
purpose of the suggestion is and was
to make a mean and false excuse for
wrongdolng.
But whether mon or nations plead
fate irrepressible destiny, genius, or n
blind natural force within them, as n
cover for their sins and crimes for
which they are not to be held RESPONSE
bic. the general consensus OF the world
will continue to be as it always has
been, that the superiority of men and
States, EXCEPT in brute force and I'M
scrupulous villainy. is evinced by Il
higher and better life. which recog-
nizes and proclaims its greater respon-
sibility the more it is developed. The
less the friends of England speak of
her as If she were a mere dynamo, the
better.

A CURIOUS CHARACTERISTIC.

a leading Northern Republican or
gan speaks OF the Expanding South"
and Justly calls attention TO the great
strides made IN the Southern States
of the Union, since the devastation by
the war. in many productions and en-
tcrprises. But 1t at once proceeds to
make This natural and proper expan-
sion an argument for Mckinley and
improper expansion OF territory and
population by military suhjugation and
conquest. But this curious Inability
of the average Northern Republican
party man to discriminate between the
logical and moral differences in things
is a marked characteristic of him, as
shown by the Northern press in the
wide and strong prevalence In all that
section of a deprecated conviction
that the twentieth century begins on
the lst of January, 1900.
The word Expansion" and the figures
1900" settle both questions, respect
lively, for them.

Issue and redemption division" In ex-
change for. gold, at the very moment
when there Is a frantic and stirring de-
mnnd for more money.
There Is and can be no stability in q
currency placed on single metallic
basis SO variable In itself, and for
which all nations and all men must now
scramble and fight In self-defence and
sclfpreservation. Besides, the bank
monopoly of paper-money places our
currency on the shifting sands of bank
interests and speculation, to enlarge or
diminish circulation; ana the discre-
tionary power given the Secretary of
the Treasury over gold and the issue Of
bonds, together with that given the
banks as to bank-notes, proclams that
stability cannot possibly exist in this
"go as you please" disorder Of things
A further complication that tends to
chaos in our currency is n bank, or
division in the Treasury itself, Of issue
and redemption. If this were n bank,
on account Of the government, indepen-
dent or in place of the national private
banks, we can see how it might be made
a great and very useful public provf-
sion: but as 1t is under the currency
bill. 1t Is an auxiliary of the private
banks in the Treasury, and q depart
ment to cover and facilitate the CONVEX
sion OF public department and de-
posts to private use and profit.

During the war. the so-calied national
bank system was created. and tax OF
ten per cent. was placed on the issue
OF STATE banks TO prohibit such issues.
Greenoacks and Treasury notes we're
also Issued: some were receivable for
all dues (nnd were better than gold or
s;lver); some were receivable for I'LL
dues except duties on imports and In
terest on the public debt, and were not
a great deal better, so restricted, than
the national bank notes, that were
mere promises to pay and legal tender
for nothing. Then followed the with
drawals Of government paper-bills,
greatly contracting the currency, In
conjunction with the demonstration Of
silver and the resumption OF specie
{gold) payment, with outstanding legal
tenders in silver and paper!
The pending currency bill, already
enacted by the House OF Representa-
tives. IS another contribution to sta
