THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.

1t is officially stated. says the Fairfax
Herald. that tho negroes OF Virginia an
nually receive $4,000 more from the Com
monwealth than they pay into the trea-
sury. When. continues the Herald. to
this Is added the large criminal expense
incurred on account of the negroes. some
idea may be formed as to the extent Of
"the white mans burden" In Virginia.
Yes And in view OF the poor return
TO the white man OF Virginia for bear
ing the burden. he is getting very tired
and restless under II. A large part of the
money the negroes receive from the Com
monwealth is for the support or their
schools; yet the white man OF Virginia
finds no evidence that education has
made the negro more moral. He finds
little evidence Of appreciation of his sac
riice to educate the negro on the part OF
the negro leaders, in the direction OF ef-
fort to suppress crime among their own
race. Both the leaders and the masses
have come to take the sacrifice as a mat
ter Of course. and it is rare that one of
the former RAISES MS NciOt III itPiNp
Of even the usual crime"-an infamy
hardly known before the days Of negro
schools and negro enfranchisement.
But the signs of the times are that the
negroes are making woeful mistake in
yielding to a conviction of security in
respect Of this matter. There are grow
ing indications that the idea that the
burden is fastened upon the white man
in perpetuity may prove snare and
delusion. There are premonitions OF
possible rude awakening.
What we have reproduced from the
Fairfax Herald is but in line with para
graphs that have appeared recently in
various other state papers. And that our
Virginia contemporaries are giving atten-
ton to the facts and the figures in the
case is significant of thoughtful con-
sideration of the proposition to make the
negro paddle his own canoe, so far as
education is concerned. 1t is indicative
of the growth of a sentiment in favor of
white taxes for white schools and negro
taxes for negro schools

CROP STATISTICS.

II IS important that the people OF the
South should make a good showing "ne'
the census of 1900 Is taken. but TO do TINS
they must join hands with the ofncias
and assist them In every possible way
We are Informed by the Chief stats
| tician Of the Department OF the INTERIOR
that special efforts will be directed To-
wards procuring the exhibits OF our sec
ton and that all suggestions looking 10
accuracy will be carefully followed. Bu'
This end cannot be accomplished without
/ the cooperation OF the whole people
without willingness on their part TO as
sist in the gigantic work.
In this connection II should be remem-
bered that the census-takers will loek not
only for information concerning our
rapldly-increasing population, but also
for data concerning our crops, products,
and manufactures. II is about the three
latter that we wish to make suggestions,
for. after all. IL is these that will tell OF
our prosperity, our energy, our skill, and
our resources. People are too prone TO
regard the census as a mere counting OF
heads. whereas the statistics concerning
our population are but fractional part
Of the vast plan which comes within the
scope Of the law.
But how are the individual southerners
to help? A little thought makes the an
swer very plain In the first place, the
census law declares that tho agricultural
and Industrial statistics for the year 1899
are not TO be gathered until after June !,
1909. As consequence, many of the crops
of the South Atlantic coast and of the
Gulf States will have been planted, gath
cred, sold, and largely forgotten, and an
other set OF crops will be under way or
disposed Of ere the census enumerators
begin their work. The result will be that
hundreds and thousands of growers will
then be unable to furnish the informa-
ton the law requires. unless they shall
have kept accurate books or other writ
ten records of their crops. Comparative
ly few do this, and hence, when the fig
ures Of the enumerators are added up
their totals dsappoint us. Here. then,
VIII De at least ONE CtSe NneIe HSuIcS w
lie. for the statistics will give but a poor
conception of the true state Of affairs in
our section. And worst OF all, we shall
have only ourselves TO blame.
Add TO the list of careless citizens who
keep no records the more ignorant class
es. who barely understand the motive Of
the census laws, and we have large
population who, figuratively speaking,
Glide their lights under a bushel." These
last mentioned persons must be reached.
The progressive farmers and manufac-
turers-the newspaper readers. the
thinkers-must explain to them in adj
vance the mission of the census enumera-
tor; must urge them to get detailed ac-
counts of their acreage, the quantity and
value Of their crops. large and small,
sold. consumed, or on hand, and, above
all. must remind them that the South is
for honors against some sturdy
rivals.
1t is for us to say whether we are rich
or poor; slothful or energetic; progress
slve or stagnated The truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth" will be
most fattering 20 us Let one and all tell
it to the census enumerators.

MAY CONFERENCE INDICATED.

The Blackstone Courier agrees fully
with the Dispatch in the view that final
success is assured in the matter Of
States senators. The Courier copies and
endorses our recent article advancing that
view. and declares its conviction that the
next time we have a United States sena-
tor TO elect he will be nominated either
by a Democratic primary or a State con-
vention. The observation of our contem-
porary has been that the May conference
movement has steadily gained ground
since the first, and that the senatorial
campaign" has demonstrated clearly that
the masses are in sympathy with the
great principle for which the conference
stood.
And this must be patent to all who have
looked beneath and beyond the personal
phase of the campaign. 1t must be patent
TO all close observers of the development
of public sentiment since the conference
met that the action of the gathering has
been indicated. And hence it should be
clear to the members of the next General
Assembly that the Democratic masses
practically demand that they enact some
legislation providing for the nomination
of senators by the popular vote, pending
an amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton requiring senators to be elected by
the direct popular voice. The third resC-
luton adopted by the May conference
reads
Pending the adoption of such consti-
tutional amendment providing, for elect
ing senators by the direct vote of the peo-
ple). we favor the nomination of our
party candidates for the United States
Senate by state primary elections, or
State conventions, and We ask the Gene
raj Assembly for legislation legalizing
such primaries whenever held"
TO say the least, If the General Assem-
bly, is wise it Will heed that resolution.

AN easterner, writing to the New
York Sun, says: "If there is a more
progressive state in the union than
Missouri, have tailed TO observe it,
and have lived in MANY states. The
average town III Missouri, l believe,
has advanced in all waIs immcasur-
ably further than the average town
in New York, New Jersey or New
England within the past 40 years.
The railroad towns in Missouri are
as progressive as any in the United
States. The people who dwell til ere
in are more intelligent as rule than
the average easterner, and l will tell
YOU why. Missouri is an agricul-
tural state; the east is n manufacture
ing district. The west is the farm,
the east is the factory. The farmer

for thinking; the factory worker, gen.

RELIGION isn't such a bad thing in
Jail, if a fellow only took it with him
when he got out" says Bill Adler,
convicted at Kansas City last week
for manslaughter and sent up for two
years. Adler's philosophy is good
enough 10 be adopted, with slight
variations, BY many people who are
neither murderers, thieves, nor CAN
didates for office.
IT IS A "cold day" when a big
strike is not ordered. Under free
trade conditions men were too happy
to have job of any kind, and at any
wages, under any conditions, to in
dulge in the costly luxury of a strike.
Under the sway of protection, with
plenty of work at good wages, the
labOrer feels that he can afford an
occasional luxury, even if he has to
pay very high price for the arti-
