The CAUCASIAN in its last issue COM
mented at some length upon Mr.. Hav-
eEeyers now fsmous declaration that
protection is the cause of all trustf,
aud called attention to the fact that
Mr.. Havemeyer went before the Indus
trial Commission with THE part OF his
testimony type written, thus showing
that it was carefully prepared with o
purpose in view. Tho CAUCASIAN sta
ted then that this purpose was to re-
vive the tariff as an issue in the cam
paign of 1900, and later developments
are proving the correctness of this
conclusion Mr.. Havemeyer's decla-
ration was no sooner made than the
Democratic committee at Washington
began the preparation OF material for
campaign book enlargine upon the
necessity Of revising the t'riff. Now
tariff fight Is just what Mr.. Hav-
emeyer and his kind want. It is the
tight under cover Of which they had
up to 1896 distracted attention from
the money question, the railroad ques-
top. and other vital questions of in.
ternal welfare. And nothing will
rejoice them more than to see the tariff
revived, not only because they gel
what they want out of tariff, whether
1t be Democratic or Republican; but
what is really more to their interest ii
that they want to put stop to the
spread of Populism, which means th'
eIadlcation of trusts.

Conference on Christian Education in IN.
South-he Thinks the Whites Should
Receive Equal Attention With the Indians
and Negroes.

CAroN SPRINGS, w. Va, Special
Inc conference on Christian education
IN the South, now in session here. is
considered one OF the most important
eveI held in this section of the country.
Ioday's addresses were brilliant. Hon.
>. l.. NJ. Curry, of Washington, spoke
IN the interest of the poor whites of
the South. Northern generosity, he
said, Was principally directed towards
aiding the Indians and blacks.
While he would not take
cont away from these, he asked
that the equally needy whites should
also be remembered. Referring to the
famous speech made here by Daniel
Webster, at the opening of the present
Capon Springs Hotel, over so years
ago. he drew attention to the large
number of great men to which the South
had given birth. and to the fact that up,
to the outbreak of the civil war, with
a comparatively scanty population
it possessed more schools than the
North.
w. E. Shaw, editor of The Review
OF Reviews, generously offered to pub.
iish DIR. Cnrry's speech for general dis
tribution in any form the conference
might prefer. Tne offer was accepted.
Ex Postmaster General Wilson, pres
ident Of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, followed DR.. Curry on the same
lines in one of the most eloquent and
enthusiastically applauded speeches vet
made before the conference. He CAV

THE Jim C:ow car is becoming SO
unpopular that the negro calamity
howlers are now trying to place the
responsibility for its unpopulsrity
upon the railroad companies. They
say that the white people should be
given a larger share of the coach; and
that the companies in separating the
cars as they have, have done SO with
the deliberate purpose Of making the
car unpopular. IL will be remember
ed that that the details of this Jim
Crow Car business was left with the
Corporation Commission, and when
this Commission fixed the date for the
law to go into operation it ordered
that the railroad companied should
supply equal but separate accommo-
dations" for the white and colored
races. The CAUCASIAN at the time
commented on this order and said that
IT more nearly approached race equal
ity than anything we had yet seen.
But it now seems that these separate
aud equal" Car accommodations are
more conducive to the comfort of the
blacks than the whites for the reason
that there so few negroes who trave
that there is always plenty OF space il
their compartment whereas the white
Compartment is nearly always com
fortably filed. But the railroad
are not responsible for this: the.
are simply following the order OF tn
Corporation Commission. And if the.
are in a conspiracy to make the ca
unpopular, the Corporation Commis
sion is in league with them.

Mr.. G.. B. AYcocK, in his recent ar

amendment, boasted that there have
been no lynchings in North Carolina
since the Democratic victory in 1898.
Mr.. Aycock's implied charge that
State administrations are responsible
for the lynchings that occur within
their borders, leaves us to infer that
he entertains rather poor opinion of
the Georgi administration.
