THE PASSING OF DOM PAUL.

present; prejudice and progress have
been fighting battles since the world
began. They will no doubt fight until
time shall be no longer, and the battles
termination will ever be the same. The
world moves and those who refuse to
move with the world will find them
selves overpowered by the moving for
ceS.
We have an illustration of this in the
war in the Transvaal. More than fifty
years ago the British government abol-
ished slavery. This did not suit GER
tain subjects of Great Britain, or rather
quasi-subiects, living in South Africa
and they moved across the river Vaal
and established a government of their
own. They had to treat with Great
Britain, but they wanted to do it with
out recognizing the march of events.
Among those who went beyond the
river was boy by the name of Paul
Kruger, then about ten years OF age.
We know him today as Dom Paul. He
is man of the past, belonging to past
times, without, apparently, any know
ledge or any appreciation of the real
conditions of the present day, and with
nothing of the spirit of the day in him.
When gold was discovered in the
transvaal, instead of approaching the
discovery, and taking advantage of the
new conditions, conditions which enor-
mously increased the wealth of the
colony, he, and others like him, made
the lot of the new Corners an increasing
ly hard lot so that today, those who
own the bulk of the property in the
colony have no say in the management
of its affairs. A fifteen years residence
is the condition of exercising the right
of suffrage, though all this time these
people must pay large proportion OF
the taxes, and feel that taxation with
out representation is unfair.
Here is the real casus belli. Dom
Paul does not appear to realize that by
granting certain concessions to these
residents he will really be benefitting
every resident of the little kingdom of
which he is almost the autocrat. He
wants to hold this country aloof from
the progress of the day, and his people
from the march of the nations.
One cannot but sympathize with the
old Dutchman, but at the same time one
cannot but see that he and his cause
are doomed. 1t may be a sad thing to
see tree fall which has stood for cen
turtles, but after all homes for the peo-
pie, Fairgrounds for happy children,
employment for hungry men are things
of far more value and when it is either
the falling of the old tree to make room
for these, or that these should not have
the advantage of civilization, then with
one voice the world says, the tree must
go.
So Dom Paul must go. One would
gladly see him I've on IN undiminished
splendour. and with increasing hap
piness, but in order to do this he must
accept the day in which he lives, and
adjust himself to its demands.

A WORD TO ADVERTISERS.

We desire to call the attention of adj
vertisers to few facts concerning this
paper. 1t is our purpose to make it one
of the handsomest and most neatly print
ed publications in the State or the South.
1t will be printed on good paper, and
from the latest and neatest styles and
faces of type-no large, black-faced or
nQstsr type will be used. thus giving It
a distinctive feature, and Or I'VE think,
which will be pleasing to the eye. The
size of the paper will give all advertise
ments the advantage of being easily
seen, and no advertisement will need to
be set in poster type in order to attract
attention. Plain, neat ads. in light
face type in a well-printed paper, not
too large, are more apt to prove salts
factory to the advertiser, the publisher
and the reader. No advertisement will
be inserted on the first page. Only adj
v9rtisements of reliable. reputable firms
will be accepted and the advertise
ments of certain classes of remedies"
medicines" and nostrums which dis
grace the columns of too many publica-
tions will dot be admitted to these pages
at any price. We hold that the adver-
Using columns should be as clean and
wholesome as the reading columns. We
propose to make this paper a worthy,
well-accredited drummer and reputable
industrious solicitor for every adver-
tiSer in these columns

The first edition of our paper has been
issued under difficulties which ware un-
avoidable. Much of the printing mate
rial, which was ordered from Chicago,
was delayed in transit, which necessi-
tated rapid work in the last hours of
preparing for press, and the contents
ale not arranged as well as we hope to
have them hereafter. We hope to
profit by experience and to make bet
ter appearance when office affairs get
to running smoothly.

Quite an interesting story might be
writtel some day about the attempts
which have been made to acclimatize
strange plants and animals, and then
to eradicate them. There is the fa-
nous mongoose episode of Jamaica.
The mongoose was introduced to kill
the rats which ate the cane planta-
tions. Having done this and multi
piled very rapidly, it proceeded to kill
the snakes and lizards as we'll. 1t
next attacked the birds learning to
climb trees in the process) until the
poultry and wild birds disappeared
Then arose the ticks" .r chigoes,
which the birds used to keep down,
and the island groaned under fresh
plague. The ticks, however, finally
attacked the mongoose, which began
to decline; the birds began to reap
pear, and attacked the ticks; snakes
and lizards were seen once more, and
in the end the cane plantations were
devastated as much as ever by rats
1t is not often that We get such
complete history as this, or else a
longer time is wanted for develop
ment. One of these plaques, that of
the gypsy moth, arose from six eggs,
which collector had placed on a
paper, blowing out Of the window, and
it has cost Massachusetts,, in which
this accident happened, many thous-
ands of dollars year ever since, whole
gangs of men being organized to col
lect the larvae and turn them in
piles. just at the present moment
the subject is engrossing the govern
ment naturalist Of Madras Years
ago someone introduced into Madras,
as good idea, the yellow Towering
cactus, or "prickly pear" Now the
prickly pear has become a nuisance,
and it is proposed to do useful stroke
by introducing the cochineal beetle to
destroy it. DIR. Bourne. however, has
grave d oubts as to the result, for the
right kind of cochineal refuses to
flourish, and the wrong kind threatens
to become a greater nuisance than the
cactus it likes to devour.

DR.. Sven Hedin, the weI1-known
Swedish explorer, who some time ago
made long and adventurous journey
through Central Asia, is planning a
new expedition. His intention is to
try to penetrate the most unknown
parts of Asia. 1t is intended that the
new journey shall begin next spring,
and now also the starting point prop
er will be Kaschgar. DR.. Hedin will
cross the Taklamakan desert in two
different directions, study one of the
largest rivers in east Turkestan and
explore certain parts of the Lopnor
district. He will try to penetrate the
unknown northern and central parts
Of Tibet, in the highlands of which
country, at an altitude OF about re. 900
feet, he may also spend a winter.
From Tibet he will go to India, and
he has several times consulted Lord
'CurzoD. the new viceroy of India,
about this part of the programme.
The return from India will be made
over Himalaya, Karakorum and
Kaschgar. The proposed trip will
take about three years and the expen-
ses will amount to about $40, 700.
Dr. Hedin expects much assistance
from the Russian authorities, and
counts particularly on the interest
which the Car has shown in his
plans.

The battle of Waterloo was fought
June IS, 1875. Before this. yelling

movements of the French army in
that direction. On June IS, the
Duchess of Richmond gave a grand
ball in that city, commemorated by

which Wellington and other officers

MOVE FOR A NEGRO COLONY.
Plans TO Colonixe Southern Blacks
In the West.

FiaHs 10 NoioHsxe southern biack'
In the West.
| Application has been filed at Chat
tanooga. Tenn, for charter for tn,
National Colonization Aid Society o
America.
This society has for its object thu
promotion of the interests of Southern
negroes. The incorporators are S. l.
Hutchins, John Il. Patton. John j
Irvine. Joseph Berry, Randolph Mil
Ter and X L. Booth, leading colored
men of Chattanooga.
Recently the promoters Of the plan
held mass meeting here and dis.
cussed the future of the negro in the
South. 1t was decided that the hes,
interests of the race would be con.
served by scattering the negroes from
the thickly populated centsrs of the
South. The organization was decided
upon of a society for the purpose oil
forming colony on gigantic scale
for the negroes. Similar societies
will be formed in every principal city
Of the South.
Promoters of the scheme will me
morialize Congress to set apart in a
large tract of land in the West for th.
exclusive use of negroes, where they
may set up an independent govern
ment Of their own, subject to the gen
eral supervision Of Congress. The
promoters are among the leading
thinkers Of the race in this section.
John ]. Irvine has been clerk OF the
circuit court here and has been influ.
entail in politics. Randolph Miller
is the editor of the Chattanooga Blade,
paper published in the interest of
the race. S. l.. Hutchins has been
prominent in politics and is a fluent
writer.
The present project Is the outgrowth
Of a plan suggested by Hutchins in
an article published in magazine.
Hutchins contends that by concentra.
ton Of the negro population in South
ern cities demand for labor is over
supplied, there 10 consequent in
crease Of idleness, and crimes are thus
fostered, bringing on lynchings, race
riots and decentralization OF negroes.
1t is said that by colonizing negroes
they will feel greater community OF
interests and will become more inter-
ested in leading industrious, law
abiding lives.
Booker Washington's idea of indus
trial farming will be carried out in the
proposed scheme. Many influential
white men are interested in the pro-
iect and are lending it their moral
support. The promoters will push
the work of organization and hope to
achieve tangible results soon.
