The second paper OF the afternoon
was an entertaining cleverIy written
study in natural history by Miss Myra
Anthony. In her paper Miss Anthony
considered only the most familiar OBJ
jects In natural history leaving, AS she
said, the classification and minute de-
scriptiOn OF the animate and inanimate
objects 81 nature To the broader realm
0f the student in natural history. In
beginning her paper the writer called
attention 20 the fact that 10 would take
years rather than the few moments al
lctted hrr to give even a brief descrip-
tiou OF the most familiar objects under
the title of natural history. Continu-
ing she said: "At this season when
al nature has donncd her fresh attire
and everything Iva tho animal and vege-
table kingdom is filed with the cxu-
berance or new rs we'll as renewed life,
it seems fitting 20 pause for a little i'm
our daily routine 90 watch the expan-
sion and change going on about US"
From this point tho writer gave a
very clear description of our common
birds and their habits evidencing n
personal familiarity with her subject
which rendered her descriptions ths
more interesting
Miss Anthony also dwelt upon the
iryrind forms ~ insect life and pass-
ing noted briefly some forms of ami.

a South Carolina politician has turned
states evidence against the dispensary

ostng disclosures to the public through
the newspapers of the state. The Charles

Hshment of the fact that corruption pre-
walls In the administration OF the dispea-

tlrely unnecessary. for the reason that
there has never been any doubt of that
proposition in the minds of the intelligent

The dispcnsary system has been a dis
grace to South Carolina. II was con-

the case. how could we expect anything
else than that the whole system would be

thing for the state TO engage i'm any line

official government OF South Carolina is
saturated with whiskey and for the past
several years has been on jag. 10 is
strange thing TO as that the good people

A bin is pending before the Georgia
Legislature. called the "Hardvick biiL'
which aims at DISTINGUISHING a large mae
jority Of the negro voters Of the State m-
der some sort of pretexts concerning cdu-
cation and 'lineal descent" whatever that
can mean for a negro. There was
large meeting of what are called "reUre-
sentative negroes" held in Atlanta last
week and "a memorial was signed boy
them 20 the Georgia Legislature praying
that body not to pass the bin.
Booker Washington. the negro who is
al the head Of the negro industrial school
at Tuskegee. Alabama, took part in the
meeting and made himself very active in
il. In The course OF the proceedings he
said.
There seems TO be a growing tendency
iu thu direction of friendship between the
races in Georgia, but / very much fear
that the passage of the HardWick bill
would t,nd TO widen the breach between

Washington IS totally wrong in his
view Of the matter, and Dee Is not doing
his race service 20 present such views
Of IL as these. The vice I'm this measure
is not in its disquaHfying negroes TO vote,
but in its doing so by indirect and UNI
lawful means. The hfteeuth amendment
10 the Constitution Of the United States
forbids amy state to deprive a negro Of
his vote because he is a negro. and this
measure proposes to deprive negroes of
their vote because they are negroes. while
protesting To do something else for some
other reason It is "a false pretense, and
fl is not easy TO understand how good
to the body polite can arise out of fraud
in the organic law.
But Washington and the other negroes
who attended this meeting put their oD-
ioctions to the measure upon the ground
that the negro should be LEFT m uncon-
troncd excrcise of the suffrage. and in
this they are radically wrong. and Wash
ingtou is badly mistaken when DEE thinks
possession of thc suffrage tends to har-
moniziug the relations between the two
races. ON tine contrary an The ms the

AT THE BlJ0U.
This Weeks Bill is Up TO the High
Standard.

The Bijou bin this week is decidedly up
TO the high standard OF this popular place
Of amusement. There is not O. tres0m6 or
weak number ON the well selected, well
blended programme OF novelty comedy
and music. Several hits were made, in
fact the whole show was a hit, from be-
ginning TO end.
The Aherns opened the entertainment
with their splendid acrobatic performance
and We're accorded merited and hearty
applause. Billy Link. a black-face real
comedian, followed, and in a few moments
had the audience, that filed every inch
Of space, laughing heartily. His jokes
were good, his PAROLES excellent and
he worked in an original laugh-makcr
that made a long and hearty laugh.
Mcmahon and King. black-face come
dams, were next on the programme, and
their act was most pleasing They carry
their own scenery a beautiful and rell-
istic railroad scene, and their business
was up to date.
Amann and Hartley's turn was next,
and the sketch presented by them was
very good and full OF bright music and
rich comedy. The act was one ot the
hits Of the bill. The next act was pre-
scented by the Crane Brothers, The
Midtown Rubes.' who made merry
with funny jokes. mannerism and rustic
dance. Miss Carrie Behr. "a dainty little
woman. came after this act and scored
a hit In a singing act that was entirely

ballads, and closed with her sister Sue"
speciality, the act with which she made
her reputation with the "Glrl from Paris"
Miss Behr was well received. The splen-
did bill closed with the contribution Of
the Wartenberg Brothers, marvellous foot
Jugglers and musical eQuillbrists. The
act is a wonderfully clever one, and about
the best novelty that Manager Wells has
brought 10 Richmond.
The regular Tuesday matinee will take
place this afternoon, and tIe bin will be
presented all the week as usual.

Bur OF late years the South has had

Southern people Joined themselves 20 the

bucd with Popuistc tendencies" and the
south's credit was necessarily impaired.
Wors. than that In some sections the
Popul.sis actually got control. and in the
Legislatures of some Of the States Popu-
usuc measures were introduced wildly
discussed and occasionally adopted. North
Carolina. the noble old North state. os-
pec'any suffered from this Populistic con-
tacion. and bitterly did the people repent
and dearly did they pay before the state
was wrcstcd from the Buucr-Russell
combination.
but ;his was merely passing malady.
The Southern people are not PopuIistic
either by birth or education. The spirit
Of true Democracy pcryails here as it
prevails in no other section Of the Union.
Southern Democrats are as unlike Wcs-
tern Popul.sts ass they are unlike The
heather Chinee. and there is no natural
amHation between them. 10 was an egre-
elous bundcr when Southern Demo
cracy cut loose from Northern Democracy
and cast its lot with the Populists Of the
West. and the South must pay the penal
tv of that bunder. But it Will not be for
long. PopuHsm. like yellow fever ran
for season i'm some Of the Southern
districts but the disease has run is
course and we cannot believe that the
South will again be similarly afflicted.
With good price for cotton, with all
our industries running at fun speed, and
with prosperity such as we have rarely
known. the Southern people viii not, i'm

As will be remembered the fight between

was q hot one, and It was several times
stated when the result became known,
that Mr.. Buford would contest.
