An Old story.

Atlanta Journal.
It is nothing new for New England to
squirm when theories which she COM
mends to the South are brought home in
practice to her.
She has often told us that the South
does not give the negro fair chance and
yet IL any one of the negro carpenters,
hrlcklayers, stone masons, plumbers, TIM
ners, any one of the host of negroes who
work in Atlanta In the higher ranks OF
labor. should go to Boston to find similar
employment he would walk his legs off
before he got It, We have a recent example
OF the hypocrisy of New England's pro-
fessed love for the negro and solicltude
for his welfare
The Harriet Beecher Stowe association,
composed Of negro women. has with the
aid of white friends, raised $4,000 with
which II proposes to buy house in
Weathersfeld. Conn, and maintain II as
home for worthy INDECENT negroes. II
such a movement were put on foot In any
Southern city 1t would receive from white
citizens cordial encouragement and sub
stantlal aid
How do the people OF Weathersneld,
Conn. treat II? They are in terrible stew
over the proposition to establish negro
home within their sacred precincts. They
draw the color line even against a charity.
They are protesting and seem to be fight
ing mad over proposition which nowhere
In the South would be received with any
but the kindest expressions
II would be good idea TO send Booker
washington on missionary tour to
Weathersneld.

II is fact well known mere that when
the Kansas and Gulf Short Line was OPP
Grated by a management independent of
the Cotton Belt II was In sharp compete
tion with that road and with the Interna-
tioual and Great Northern for cotton to
Houston and Galveston. and local ship
pers here had great advantage In rates
from such competition, SO much so, as
We have said In another article on the sub
iect, that even before the Kansas and
Gulf line was quite completed to Lufkin
IL was found cheaper 10 ship cotton over
that line and haul 1t in wagons from the
terminus to the Houston East and West
Texas at Lufkin for shipment to Houston
and Galveston. than to send 1t direct by
the International and Great Northern
But since the Kansas and Gulf Short Line
was absorbed In fact by the Cotton Belt
no such competition has existed, and
Tyler stands today, so far as rates are
concerned, as though 1t had only one line
of railway. The constitutional question
as to competition is not as 10 where lines
run TO or from. but as TO whether through
connections or otherwise there will be
competition between them for freights
when operated under Independent man
agements; and II such competition would
exist. the consolidation is expressly pro-
hibited, II Judge Reagan's position is cor
rect. that connecting lines are not to be
considered. then indeed most railroads in
Texas might be included in one vast con-
solidation.
