In recent editorial the New YORK Eve
ming Post confessed that the lesson
,,,,eht bv the investigation Of the negro
problem in that section is one oi pa
tlence and sympathy towards the South
whose difficulties have been FAR greater
than those in the North This c"hies-
clio, has evoked a commendatory letter

and "A study OF the negro IN me ''"'A

s,opdont who has not resided at the
South long time can understand the
complications Of the race question ana

fso,ithern) whites. and timely words OF
s,mpatbv. as well as denuncia;ious OK
lawlessness. far more good could be ac-
compIished than by persisting in the at
titude Of giving sharp criticism with
tone Of righteous superiority, such as
northern journals generally assume.
The correspondent emphasizes the CON
tention that criticism Of the white race
should be accompanied by the demand
that the negro lift himself above his
low plane and do some good IN the
world" She notes that good negroes are
respected at the South and good workmen
can always find employment, points out
that it is a singular fact that but few
negroes have carried on 10 their chIdfeh
any Of the training that they received
under slavery" and expresses the opin-
ion that II IS "hgh time that emotional
preaching from negro pulpits should give
Mace to exhortations and demands that
there should be moral living. 1t Is sur
prisinc." she adds. chow few negroes
have any conception Of moral obligation
or duty"
The POSTS correspondent also says that
our New York contemporaries words are
among the most just that have ap-
peared in a northern paper about TINS
matter for many years. And we may
say the same Of her letter. Moreover,
she hardly goes Tar tupuSu III Ni''H'"e
that she has made a study of the negro
problem at the South. she has analyzed
81. gone to the root of the evil. and indi-
Gated the remedy.
The whites of the South are doing their
fun duty to the negro, but their best ef-
forts are being neutralized. it, indeed
they are not being made to rebound to
the negro's disadvantage, by the failure
Of the negroes. especially their leaders
to do their duty to their own race. The
whites can continue to tax themselves TO
educate the negro, though they are get
ting very tired of that thankless sacri-
fee; but his moral elevation is in his
own hands, and until he appreciates that
fact on his own head and the heads of
the northern fanatics who virtually con-
done his violations of the laws of God
and man. will rest the responsibility for
all he may suffer at the hands of out
ragged southern communities.

CAN TT BE.

Rear-Admiral Crowninsheld, the head
pf the Bureau Of Navigation. refers in
his annual report to the Secretary OF the
Navy. TO Dewey's success In obtaining re-
ward for himself and his officers as being
the outcome Of "A victory won at a "more
propitous moment" than that of San
tiago.
Rear-Admiral Crowninshield and his
bureau associates have never attempted
10 conceal the fact that they were par
tisans Of SIMPSONS. In season and out
of season they have tried TO convince the
public that Sampson did 1t alr' at San
tiago. and were grievously disgruntled
when the Senate refused to see the mat
ter in that light, recognized that Schley
was there or thereabouts'' when the
fight took place. and declined to bestow
greater honors upon Sampson than 1t be-
slowed on the gallant Marylander.
with this evidently in its mind the
New York Times criticises the reference
in the report we have noted, as an at
tempt TO add TO the glory Of another Of
ncer or other officers of the navy by
minimizing the glory of Admiral Dewey.
ana sees in 1t signs that Rear-Admiral
Crowninshield and the rest Of the bureau
still hope 10 win a victory in the Senate
for their especial protege or proteges.
That is a natural view. but does II
take in the whole scope of the possible
object OF minimizing Dewey's achieve
ments? The bureau and the administra
ton are very thick. There has been a
very strong suggestion of the campaign
document in reports before this. Can it
be that. despite Dewey's declaration that
he has no taste for politics. the bright
light OF Manila continues TO project his
shadow into the presidential campaign Of
1900.

Under an act passed by the last Illinois
Legislature a municipal pawnshop has
just been started in the city Of Chicago.
The institution. though designed for
money-making purposes. will prove of
great assistance 10 needy Persons. In
stead of paying anywhere from to 10
per cent. month for money, they will
be able to procure loans at II per cent.
The company starts with $4,000 capital,
and will conduct it's business practically
on the same plan as a bank. Small chat
tells will be accepted as collateral Sc
curity. and the chief object of the cor
poration will be to protect the poor.
The new pawnshop is expected TO work
a revolution among the 'uncles" Of the
"Windy CITY" and will doubtless result
i'm many changes in the conduct of the
pawnbrokers' business
Laws similar 10 that of Illinois have
been passed by other States. and severa,
municipal pawnshops are already in ope-
ration in northern cities.

SEVEN MEN WE'RE INJURED.
Virginia Won Great Game FROM
LchiRh by a Score of 10 10 o.

A%GhAAA w ~ ECoEC OA w u VI
Richmond. Va, Nov. SO.-About 1000
people witnessed the game between the
University of Virginia and Lehigh to-day.
Isehigh fought hard, but the play was
largely one-sided from the beginning, the
ball seldom II ever being out of her terri
tory.
The game was clean and exciting. ana
resulted in the following score: Virginia,
1ol Lehlsh, 0.
and was strong In interference. Before the
contest had been on Ave minutes she had
forced a way through Lehigh's line and
scored a touchdown, which yielded five
points. Shortly thereafter another opening
was found, and through this Virginia
again went, scoring another touchdown
and five points. In both instances Cole
man failed TO kick goal, thus losing two
points for Virginia.
Throughout the second half; the gamo
was waged fiercely, and man after man
was injured. Virginia stilI used every en-
deavor to score. ana did on one occasion
get within two feet Of the Lehigh touch
line, the Pennsylvanians rallied about the
ball, making a touch-back and saving
themselves from greater defeat.
Lehigh made several pfodlgious efforts IA
score and Dornin tried to kick goal from
The field. He made beautiful effort, but
the wind carried the ball around the goal
posts, and the effort failed.
The game while free from "slugging's
and such disgraceful tactics was quite
roughly played, the tacklng being forcl-
bic and a times almost vicious. As a re-
suit seven men were injured, though none
seriously They were Willis, Shtbley and
Mallory Of Virginia. and Payne Chambers
lain. Fuller andfVan Duyn of Lehigh
shibley received his injuries just about
one minute before the game ended. He was
without doubt the star Of the game and
had just concluded a brilliant seventy-yard
dash, taking the bah 10 Lehigh's ten-yard
line, when IN the down he was thrown vio-
lentIy 70 the ground and winded.

cans in conference htre Tuesday and We'd

"anu-imperialism agitation especially in
Eastern states, where the silver issue does
not attract
Co-operation with Edward Atklnsons

the silver Republicans is to gain. If rossl-
Bile, with this new issue fooihotd in
Eastern states, so that their party can
more truly claim TO Ee a national organi-
zation and thus become more effective
whip for holding the Democrats TO the
Bryan and 16 to line. This is no reason
why the silver ReDublicans want 10 hod
a big national convention OF 1900 or more
delegates next year.
Confirmation of this plan came to-day
from Fred Dubois, former senator from
Ohio, and chairman of the silver Repub-
lican Executive Committee.
There s1po place for the Republican
anti-imperialists of New England and the
coast to go except into our party" said
Mr.. Dubois. The assured compostion OF
the United States Senate for several years
convlnces me that silver legislation can
not be passed for many years yet, on
anti-inperialism and kindred questions
they are as one with U.S. am satisfied
they will come to us. ] expect 90 see
former Gov. Boutwell, OF Massachusetts,
Edward Atkinson and men like them, sit-
ting as delegates in our convention.
I'VE have planned for big convention
of 1000 or more Our conyentiou, If held
at the same place and time as the Demo-
cratic Convention will be powerful slim
ulus against any concessions by that party
to the forces of unrighteousness. We have
not much to fear on this score, however,
We are pretty well satisfied that the Dem
ocrats will reafirm the platfrom of 1895
and renominate Mr.. Bryan. That will be
| enough. If, however, they should seek to
evade or subordinate the silver issue,
Wen not be their allies. In such case we
will do what many Republicans wanted
10 do in 1s96-establlsh separate organiza-
| ton and nominate separate ticket"
