HENDERSON, {,

written about Hose and Strickland and
negroes of their class in the South
would not be surprised at anything
that might follow such crime as
Hose committed. 1t may be that
nothing can Justify such an orgy as
was held over Hose. but there is
plenty that can explain it. The men
and women of the South believe that
certain unruly negroes can only be
restrained from horrible crimes
against white women bv swift and
terrible punishment We of the
North have little experience of these
crimes, but our blood circulates, and
we know what sort of dispositions
such crimes arouse. To read the
story of Sam Hoses crime as our
Georgia correspondent has written it
begetS absolute Indifference to that
negro's suffering or fate. 1t fills the
mind with horror and makes one feel
that any means that is effectual to
prevent such crimes is justified. One
forgets the monstrousness of the sam
Hose lynching and only wonders
whether it was eNpedient."
a correspondent of the Boston
Transcript, who has been studying
the negro problem in the South no,
altogether from n standpoint friendly
to that section. is compelled to make
the following admission in a recent
letter:
The people of the North have 8
very imperfect idea of the negro, As :
rule, and do not half weigh the bur
den and annoyance to the South
which his presence in such large mum.
bers necessarily constitutes. Much
of the Northern criticism of Southern
affairs is unintelligent. This i.
apparent to every man on the border
line who has any opportunity what
ever to see both sides"

Dewey Wept.

One of the brave jackies who '.was
with Dewey at the battle of Manila
Bay tells this new anecdOte Of the
great admiral The teller is Harry
Deghman, sailor of the cruiser
Boston, and his story is this:
The most affecting incident which
occurred, and which all the sailors
will remember through their lives, was
the accident of 4 powder boy. These
boys act as aides to captains and
lieutenants in carrying messages and
doing errands. When the order was
given to strip for action, one of the
bows tore his coat off hurriedly, and
it fell from his hands and went over
the rail down into the bay. A few
moments before he had been gazing
on his mothers photograph, and Just
before he took his coat off he had
kissed the picture and put it in his
inside pocket. When the coat fell
over board he turned to the captain
and asked permission to ump over
board and get it. Naturally the re
quest was refused. The boy then
went to the other side of the ship
and climbed down the ladder. He
swan around to the place where the
coat had dropped, and succeeded in
getting it. | believe it was still
floating when he got there.
"When he came back he was order
ed in chains for disobedience. After
the battle he was tried by court
martial for disobedicnce and found
guilty. Commodore Dewey became
interested in the case, for he couldn't
understand why the boy had risked
his life and disobeyed orders for a
coat. The lad had never told what
his motives were. But when the
commodore talked to him in a kindly
way. and asked him why he had done
such strange things for an old coat,
he broke into tears and told the com
modore that his mothers picture was
in the coat.
"Commodore Dewcy's eyes filed
with tears as he listened to the
story. Then he picked the boy up
in his arms and embraced him. He
ordered the little fellow to be in
| stantly released and pardoned. Boys
who love their mothers enough ia
risk their lives for their pictures can
not be kept in irons on this fleet, he

whatever their color. wide berth;
determine TO be sensible, law-abid-
ing, respectable and honest; cultivate
the friendship rather than the enmity
of the better class of white people,
and the race problem will solve it

The writer of the Tribune editorial
suggestively gave it the title of The
Negro's Problem," not The Negro
Problem, or Race Problem. There is
quite distinction between these, for
while both races MAJ be involved in
solving the negro problem, the negro
only is involved in solving The
Negroes Problem.' That is his task
and he is the only one who can per-
form it. If he does not devote him
self earnestly to it, very little pro-
gress will be made in solving it for
him.

forthwith as far as negroes are con-
cerned, and the voice of the avenger
would be hushed in the land. Friends,
or alleged friends, may give advice,
but after all it depends upon the
negroes themselves to solve the
negro problem and the way in which
it is to be solved, if he is to continue
in proximity to the white man. He
may ignore good advice, and in that
event others will address themselves
to the solution of the problem in
their own way, which may sometimes
become a heroic way; or it may solve
itself by the drift method, when the
negro-the drifter-will be mere
| passive factor. In the meantime the
negroes would do we'll to address
themselves to solving 1.-The Negro's
Problem,' the shortest way to the
solution of the negro problem, in
| which task the Tribune kindly helps
them along, and points the way.
With this advice in mind they will be
on the right track.

LETTER.

The wheat market opened strong this
morning at Il cent above last nights
closing price, but fine weather. the alb
sence of damage claims and temporary
lack of shipping demand, combined with
narrOwness of trade, caused the market
to gradually ease off. Argentine shipments
for the week were also heavy at LIST, 900
bushels. There were good crop reports
from Montana, where the snow is off the
plant and it looks to be in fine condition.
Visible supply is also expected to increase
again next Monday. To Offset these bear
ish items, Montreal reports one million
bushels of wheat taken for May export
and there is also the fact that there is
a very large short interest in wheat, while
the supply of contract wheat, TO fill short
sales, is very small and there is no deny
ing that the bullish sentiment is increas-
ingl but February is not a good month in
which TO bull May wheat. 1t is. however, a
good month to pick up some cheap wheat
and hold it for an advance which is
bound TO come not later than the middle
Of April and will probably materialize in
March.

A GOLD DOLLAR.

There was a mine out in Colorado called
the Little Gold Dollar" il had never
paid, but lots of money had been sunk in
it and they had a big shaft and quite a
tunnel when, by the methods known to
the genus homo, in Colorado, they sue
ceeded in getting a Boston man out there
to look at it with a view to purchasing.
When, after much examination and many
assays, the Bostonian had reached a de-
ciston he was asked how much he would
give for the Little Gold Dollar: he re-
piled that in Boston. when people came
across q gold dollar with a hole in it as
big as their Gold Dollar had, they never
gave over 70 cents for it.
WE KNOW
Another gold dollar story, a little different
from this but as 1t wouldn't look SO well
in print, we didn't print it; instead, We
printed little book-called Facts and
FigureS-which explains all about margin
trading, in either Wheat or Stocks; it
tells how to take advantage of the daily
action of the market by buying on breaks
and selling on bulges, taking small profits
often, rather than holding on for one big
proft; SIS is the smallest margin we can
accept as that is 212 points on 10 shares of
stock or 1000 bushels of wheat
