COLORPHOBIA RUN MAD.

The constitution of Mississippi dis
franchised the Negro, as its authors
intended. The United States Supreme
Court has pronounced it unassailable.
This ought to satisfy even the most
radical Southerner, but it seems that
the severe financial and educational
tests are likely to disfranchise large
number of white people before many
years, while the Negroes already
show signs of surrounding what was
regarded as insuperable obstacles.
Now comes the Democratic candidate
for governor of that state and pro-
claims himself opposed to Negro
schools, and advocates a policy to re-
mand the Negroes to new slavery
under the name of peonage. He de-
clares that it is futile to attempt to
elevate the Negro, and that there is
no field of usefulness for the gradu
ates of the Negro schools. Doubtless
many people in the South feel very
much as this plain speaking candi-
date does, but it is not often that one
hears such cold FLOODED sentiments.
That the elevation of the race has
many discouraging features cannot
be doubted, that the Negroes of to-
day are bearing heavier burdens than
those which prevailed in the days of
slavery is doubtless true in some parts
of the South; but the solution of the
difficulties in the way will not come
from any plan such as that suggested
by this new bidder for white votes in
Mississippi. Christian education, in
dustrial instruction and patience will
yet bring the Negro out of this new
bondage into which he has been
thrust by the Impotence of his friends
and the Vaccinations of his enemies.

THE K11AL1FA's BLACK FLAG.
Around This Sinister Banner the
Prophets Army Rallied.

Sir Herbert Kitchener has crushed
the dervishcs. He eXacted of them w.
900 men slain in battle, 1900 wounded
and about 5000 prisoners. This was
the price they paid for their revolt.
1t is impossible to deny that the
dervish Is brave; the heroic stand that
his followers made around the black
flag OF the khalifa in the Omdurman
fight was ample evidence of their
splendid courage.
The khalifa's black banner rallied
around it the stanchest and bravest OF
the very flower of the army.
Time after time the black banner
was borne on to the attack. and II fell
only when the last living supporter fell
under the hail of I<itchener's bullets.
For years this black flag has been
n terror and a curse 10 the whole SUI
dan. 1t was the emblem OF tyranny
that in this century Is withuot par
allel.
The cowardly khalifa fed and so lost
his one chance of dying like a man
He might, by dying on the field, have
redeemed his courage, at least. His
flight proved him not only a monster
but craven.
In addition to the celebrated black
flag. the Illustration shows character
istic dervish weapons and war material
Among these the great war drum OF
the khalifa is we'll in evidence; so. too
are the broad biaded spears used by
these warriors.
The shields and armor suggest me-
diaeval Europe rather than nineteenth
century Africa.

DICKENS CHARACTERS
Detectives Employed by the Novelist
to Find Them.

Every one who has read Charles
Dickens wonderful stories of everyday
life and of the underworld of London.
has wondered where the novelist OBJ
tanned such q. knowledge OF how the
other half lives" and especially where
he met the characters he so minutely
depicts in word and action.
The man who introduced the novel
ist to Fagin, the Artful Dodger, Sami-
vel Weller and other famous charac.
tiers is now resident OF milwaukee,
Joseph I.owman is the name he writes
to distinguish himself from the balance
of the human family, ard up to year
ago he appended the word Waterman"
after it to designate his occupation.
Years ago Mr.. Lowman was pri-
waite detective in London. lie was
young and energetic then, with his life
spreading out before him. Offering a
pasture for his ambition. It is all retro
spect now While he was acting rs a
private detective in the English CAPT
tai in those days of long ago. before
he began his journey down the shad-
! owy side of life. he conceived the idea
that he might be of use to Dickens in
introducing him to some of the odd
| characters that frequented the resorts
| of the great city.
There was little money to be earned
as n private detective, owing to the
competition as well as the jealousy OF
| Scotland Yard. AS n last resort he be-
| took himself to the home OF the novel =
list and after repeated attempts, final
| ly gained an audience and laid his
plans before Mr.. Dickens.
Whom do you know?" asked Dick
ems.
"All the blackguards and blacklegs
and thieves and smugSlers and good
part OF the liars in the town." answered
| the private detective.
you'll do me-" replied Dickens,
laughing. "I'll take you on the spot.
The two started out that same day
to look for characters for the novelist
to immortalize in his works. The plan
| adopted was for Lowman to invite the
models to the Green Dragon or some
other hostelry, and Dickens would be
there in disguise to meet and gossip
with them at the bar, and then the
novelist. the detective and the "old
cove would adjourn to the parlor
where few bottles of wine or mugs OF
ale would loosen the tongue of the man.
