De wheeler and the Verse Makers.

Joe wheeler and the Verse Makers.
They tell many stories about Gen.
Fighting Joe" Wheeler, says the Phila
delphia Post He is a familiar sight in
Washington, where he has been most of
the time since reconstruction days. AS a
speaker ne is a rare favorite in the House,
not so much because Of what he says as
because of his manner. He is said to
be much more composed in battle than in
debate.
Since the war began he has been the re-
cipient of more laudatory poems probably
than any other officer in the army. Even
in Scotland and England tributes have
been written in verse praising the valor
of the little man from Alabama. On one
occasion recently he received a charming
ly written sonnet in his honor, composed
by worldfamed poet. He is said to
have been so pleased by the compliment
that he had his secre tary write to the
poet about as follows:
My Dear Sir-I don't know why you
have honored me to such an extent.
really am only a humble worker in the
service of my flag"
The answer, refreshing.y frank, was as
follows:
MY Dear sir-of course, the poem was
inspired by your bravery, but that was
really not the chief cause of its compo-
sition. I wrote it because it was so easy
to make things rhyme with 'Jo.'"

COMMENTS on NORTHEN's ADDRESS

COMMENTS on NORTHEN's ADDRESS
Ths comments Of the Boston papers on
the address Of ex-Gov. Northen, delivered
in that city on last Monday night, do not,
It seems 20 us. touch upon the real point
at issue. There is something in what they
SAY about mob law not lessening the crime
for which Iynchings are the most fire.
quent. and Of the bad effect which lynch
ings have upon the communities in which
they occur, but they have nothing what
ever TO say about the great question as
to whether it is possible for two races, one
superior to the other, between which no
marriages occur, and being pretty nearly
equal in numbers, to live together in peace
if they have the same political and civil
rights. Just why they avoid that ques-
ton it is difficult TO see. 1t was very
clearly presented by Gov. Northen in his
address. 1t is the real race question, and
must be dealt with
The North, represented by the Republi-
can party has been proceeding on the
idea that the white people of the South
must submit TO political equality with
the blacks-must submit to having them
in the most prominent federal Offices
whenever the Republican party is in pow
er. That party enfranchised the blacks,
and is putting them in the Offices, though
it takes care not to put them in office
in the North, where there are so few of
them that IL is reasonable to suppose that
there would be less opposition to black
postmasters and custom house officers. 1t
is only in the South that the black man
is put into political positions of honor and
power-domlnating positions.
Why is it that the Northern papers
avoid this feature of the race question,
possible for the two races to get along to-
gether peaceably on the basis of political
equality? Is it because their section Is
not troubled by the negro, and therefore
they don't take very deep interest in the
race question, or is it because they are
not ready to admit that the solution OF
the race question requires the withdrawal
from the negro of some of his political
rights-that the North made a great blum
der when it enfranchised the negro?
The comments of the Boston papers are
only surface comments. They don't touch
the marrow of the question And it is
apparent that they realize that if there
were as many negroes in Massachusetts
in proportion to the population, as there
are in Georgia, negroes would be as
promptly lynched in that state as they are
in the South for assaulting women, fol

The possibility Of trading in Wall street
by machinery, and of having a boxful of
wheels and cogs and ratchets beat the
experienced bulls and bears at their own
game, is a suggestion that will be apt to
bring smile to the faces of those who
know anything of trading in securities
and of the fluctuations of the markets
Nevertheless it is announced that that is
precisely what a now corporation in New
York proposes to do; and the corporation
is backed by such well-known men as
Assistant United States Treasurer AIuhle-
man and ex-united States Treasurer Hus-
ton. The machine MAKES calculations re-
specting the market, and by following its
indications It is claimed that profits are
assured. The prospectus of the corpora
ton says the profits will be something
like 80 per cent; in which event we may
expect a brand new crop Of multi-million-
aires pretty shortly after the machine has
been set going against the street.

AT a public meeting in London the
other day, Lady Henry Somerset declar-

women is increasing to an alarming ex-

that her remark was intended TO include
women in her own social station.
Miss JEANNE Langtry, daughter of the
Jersey Lily, whose debut in London soci-
ETY. is scheduled for this season. is a very
pretty girl, though not as handsome as
her famous mother. She has been careful

away from the theatr cil and other gay as

There seems to be some difference Of
opinion between Bishop Nelson of the
Diocese of Georgia and the Rev. DR..
Strong of this city, respecting DR.. Briggs.
The New York Tribune has an interview
with the bishop. in which he is quoted as
saying: ''Dr. Briggs is not in perfect align
ment with the church. and. although I
think he is learned and intellectual man,
he is not the one TO lead the people In
the ways of the church. No man who
holds DR.. Briggs views and puts his in
depreciation on the Scriptures is qualified
to be a priest in the church" DR.. Strong,
it will be remembered, in a recent sermon
at St Johns, took an opposite view.

That quarrel and fight between Catune
Mendez and NJ. Nanar, as to whether Ham
bet was thin or fat, was essentially a
French affair. At the same time. it is
difficult to understand how there could be
a Frenchman so unpatriotic as 70 say
otherwise than that Hamlet was an ex-
tremely thin young man. Sara Bernhard
is playing Hamlet; she always plays true
TO nature; she is thin. therefore. it must
follow that the melancholy Dane was lath-
like. Meudoz must have championed the
fat side of the controversy, since he sus-
tanned a severe wound and was thereby
shown to have been in the wrong.

ROOSEVELT AND THE POLITICIANS.

dt is probable that Gov Roosevelt found
It an easier, and even a pleasanter, task
10 lead the Rough Riders than it is to
guide the ship of state. He became Gov
ernor of New York. feeling certain that
he could make a name for himself that
might open the doors of the White House
to him. That he was inspired by the best
of motives there Is no doubt, but has he
proven himself equal TO dealing with the
sharp and interruptions men who circu-
'late about the capital of the state of New
York; That is a question that has not
yet been answered.
Gov Roosevelt has an extra session of
the legislature on his hands. 1t was made
necessary largely by his action. He in
sisted at the regular session that a certain
bill-the Ford bill-which taxed franchises
heavily, should be passed. He sent two
urgent messages to the legislature just
before that body adjourned, demanding the
passage of the bill. The legislature ac-
commodated him, though some of the
most level-headed of the members were
sure that the measure was in very crude
| state.
After the legislature adjourned the
Governor found that the bin was not just
what was wanted, and instead of signing II
| he decided to call the legislature together
again. But can he have such a bill passed
| as he wants? 1t is doubtful The Demo
Gratis favor the Ford bill. The GovernoI
thinks the power to assess the franchise:
should be given TO the state board, ap
| pointed for that purpose. The Democrat:
think the local boards of assessors shou!C
assess them, as provided in the Ford bill
The chances are that if any bill is passed
il will be such one as the corporation
want. AS one senator said on the day tina
the legislature met in extra session. 9Th,
corporations have more money than tn
| Democrats"
Bur there is one thing that is certain
and that is that the Governor isn't as bill
man in the estimation of the people a
he was on the gay of his election.

A Boston newspaper, the Post, proposes
as a unique tribute to Admiral Dewey
that the name of the Philippine Islands
be changed to Dewey Islands," Besides
being unique" the proposition is sense
less, and no one would be quicker to con-
denim it than Admiral Dewey himself. If
any such precedent were once established,
il would probably not be a great while
before there would be a demand that the
name of Cuba be changed to Shafter ISL
and, and Porto Rico to Miles Island and
Hawaii to Harrison Island. We had bet
ter leave geographical nomenclature alone,
and the chances are that we shall do so.

THE PRESIDENTS
POLICY.
PHILIPPINE

II il is probable that Congress viii Ep-
prove the Presidents scheme Of govern
ment for the Philippines then Gen. Otis
advice respecting the war against the FIJI
ipinos should be followed. namely, that
hostilities be5 continued until the Filipinos
are ready to surrender Internationally.
but If there is reason for thinking that
Congress will offer the FIhpinOs about
what il has offered the Cubans. then the
advice Of Mr.. schurman, the head of the
Philippine commission, should be accept
ed, namely. that a compromise be fixed up
and the war brought TO an end.
If il is the intention TO hold the Philip
pines as our possession it is better to give
the Filipinos a thorough whipping, and
let them understand that It is our purpose
10 retain possession Of their islands and
that we have the power to do so; other
wise we shall have an Instruction to put
down every once in a while. The Filipi-
nos are impressed by force. They are not
influenced by promises. They don't put
much faith in them. They have been de-
ceived so often by the Spaniards that they
have no confidence in what our commits
sioners say. And not much dependence is
to be placed in their promises and protes-
tatbons.
Cen Otis is confident there will be no
permanent peace in the islands until the
Filipinos are thoroughly conquered.
Therefore he believes in continuing to
move on the enemy while the diplomats
20.
come to terms. According to his view it
will be an easy matter to make peace aft
er the Fillpinos have surrendered uncon-
diuonally
The terms which the President has Of
fered the Filipinos through the commits
sion are liberal enough. provided it is our
purpose to retain permanent possession of
the islands. They give the President power
to fill all of the principal offices with
Americans. In fact, they place the gov
eminent of the islands in his hands. The
Fflipinos, if the terms are accepted, will
have a very unlmportant part in the gov
eminent. They viii have very little rea-
son TO look forward to independence.
In the terms which the President has
offered the Filipinos does he act for the
Republican party? If he does then 1t can
be stated now, as well as later, that 1t is
the purpose of the Republican party to es-
tablish a colonial system in the Philip
pines-to engraft the imperial system on
our system of government. That being
the case opposition to the policy of impe-
rialism has not been begun too soon. We
have contended all along that, having been
Unexpectedly put in possession of the
Philippines, we could not do otherwise
than compel the Filipinos to recognize our
authority, but that we should deal with
them pretty much as it is proposed to deal
with the Cubans, namely, assist them in
establishing liberal, intelligent and sta
| bic government of their own. 1t looks
however, as if the Republican party had
decided TO hold the Philippines as per-
manent possession of this country. That
being the case a big issue is presented for
the next presidential campaign.

CURRENT COMMENT.

In the course of his Boston speech Ex-
Gov. Northen said: when the govern
ment appoints a minister to Austria, and
the cablegram comes persona non grata,'
the name is recalled and another substi-
tnted at once. Why Austria and not the
South? Why dominate the South with
an appointee who is persona non grata'
when Austria can get what she wants?
Why dominate section whose people. as
a section, are more thoroughly American
than any other section of the continent;
section more devoted to American insti-
tutions than any other section as such
because of its more American citizenship;
a section that defends The American flag
with as loyal hearts, as heroic daring, and
as patriotic devotion as ever characterized
a liberty-loving citizen of the nation? Let
the North answer me, why?' Commenting
on this passage, the Macon News (Dem)
says: IF Gov. Northen had done nothing
else than TO bring QUE this point he would
have justified his journey to Boston. 1t
was put strongly enough to reach into the
very cabinet room at Washington. 1t IL
Illustrated perfectly the attitude Of the
Southern people, who are willing to be de-
prived of governmental benefits to which
they are entitled rather than to the con-
sent to receive at the risk of the social
peace and order"
The Baltimore sun (Dem) says: Down
to the time when Republican carpet-bag-
gers first taught the negro to suspect and
hate his best friends. outrages upon white
women and lynchings were almost I'M
known These forms of crimes are the
result of the political crimes of the recon
struction period and of the constant la
bors of persons like Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe to array the negroes against the
whites. If the mental attitude of the ne
gro towards the whites were changed-if
| the negro were let alone by Northern poll
tcians-ourages upon women would
cease and lynchings would cease with
them. The North is largely responsible
for these forms of violence. SO long as Il
| entertains the theory that lynchings are
| due wholly to the perversity of the South
ern whites, no progress can be made in
the solution of the lynching problem"
The Jacksonville (Fla) Metropolis
