THE NEW ORLEANS MOB
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
 That color prejudice which Is always latent in the Southern States when it does not find more open expression there and, indeed, is not free from existence in com munities at the North as we'll, has broken out most disgracefully in New Orleans this week. It has been peculiarly brutal and unreasonable there. The immediate cause of it came from crime committed by ne- gro in the killing of two members of the police force of the city. Logically, it should not have extended beyond the perpetrator of the crime, but he belonged to the tabooed race, and the people who participated in the outrages that followed proceeded to visit vengeance upon men and women of it in discriminatory. It was a reproach to Amer ican civilization, such it is in the power of excited populations or large cities to bring to pass, and which often is exhibited there before law is able to assert itself It is not consoHng to be informed that the offenders were largely made up of boys, and an aggravating feature of the crimin- ality is that Its victims were entirely among unoffending persons, who had no part nor lot in the doings which had excited the ire of the rioters. There are, unfortunately, people in the world who make it their mis- sion to bring shame upon human nature, and this New Orleans affair is an out break among these

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
 Ex-United States Senator Clark, the ulti-millionaire mine owner of Montana, before he sailed for Europe today on the Lucania, gave s100,OOo to the Bryan cam paign fund.-
 Besides giving his check for s100,oOo, MT. Clark has agreed to furnish all the Demo- cratic campaign money required in the State of Montana. His friends say he will spend at least S500,000 rather than see the electoral vote of Montana cast for McKin- ley.
 AS various rumors had credited MT. Clark with donating a large sum of money to aid in the election of MT. Bryan, he was asked previous to his boarding the steamer if the reports were true.
 q have subscribed to the fund that is being raised by the Democratic National Committee" replied Mir. Clark.
 "Have you any objections to stating the amount?" he was asked.
 T signed good sized check, and guess the amount was satisfactory to the com mittee," replied the ex-Senator.
 "was 1t $10o, ,0Oo?'
 Mr. Clark thought for second or two before he answered "Yes.' As he was about to walk up the gangplank he turned to his interrogator and said: T contributed to the Dtmocratic campaign fund because I think the election of Bryan and SteYen-

other Birmingham citizens, all of whom were enjoying themselves. Judge Allen Was acting as guide and friend to Colonel Altman, who continues quite lame from his recent very severe attack of rheumatism. and is therefore in position to appreciate the thoughtful and kind attention of Judge Allen, himself stout enough and quick enough to hold his own against the charac- teristic roughness and incivility of the New Yorker in a hurry. Physically weak and strong visitors alike to New York suffer from the incivility of the most uncivil town on earth.
 Chief Night Operator Fred Davis of the Western Union Telegraph office, Birming- ham, has resigned from his place to accept the managership of the Postal Telegraph office at Chattanooga, the duties of which he will assume tomorrow. This change is of the nature of a decided promotion for MT. Davis, and one which he fully deserves, for he is thoroughly capable man, and is of most praiseworthy general character. Last night Eli Smith, Richard F. Johnston and Leon w. Friedman of the Birmingham News presented to MT. Davis superb gold-headed wallSing-stick, properly en- graved, as an evidence of their apprecia- ton of his many kindnesses to them in their special newspaper correspondence. Mir. Davis was greatly surprised and grati- fled The party spent a happy evening to- gether in Managing Editor Smiths room in the News building.

Chinese Tactics at Shanghai.

Ii Hung Chang in Shanghai and Minister Wu ill Washington are evidently treating the legationers in Picking, if alive, and the 2,OOO missionaries at distant and scattered posts as hostages, and they are trying to negotiate a settlement on the basis of the valuable lives in question. They do not say so frankly and openly, but they carry the impression that an advance in force by the allies upon Pekin carries death to every foreigner in China. They are now there is hope that the legationers are hy- ing, and this view gives the Chinese au- thorities credit for some sense at least. If they have killed the legationers, or per- mitted the Boxers to kill them it is another .sMaine" case, and they will be treated very much as the Spanards were after the sinking of that vessel.
 But the diplomacy of Ii Hung Chang and his associates will not stay the allies, or change the course of events. Despite the difficulties of gathering a strong force at dhu, anu lHS OL SupPiASS' anu the jealousies of the powers, 1t may as well be assumed that in good season the allies will march to Pekn, and that Pekin will be captured as Tien Tsin was captured.
 It is unnecessary now to attempt to look beyond Pekin When that city is captured next month, we will know much more than we do at present, and we can well afford ent. The chief interest will soon be cen tered in the column that will start for Taku with "On to Pekin'' in its hearts, if not on its banners. No one knows when the allies will be ready to advance but the chances are that the march will be begun within the next ten days.

Suffrage in North Carolina.

In an election to be held next Thursday the voters of North Carolina will undoubt- edly sanction a constitutional proposition drawn on the lines devised in Louisiana two years ago. In substance this proposition provides for an educational qualification, but further provides that no person shall because of the want of education be denied the right to vote who has himself or whose ancestors were entitled to vote on or prior to January l, 1867. This form of suffrage reform is popularity known as "the grand father clause"
 Thus far it has not been attacked in the courts at least not in the United States Supreme Court. The Republicans dislike it, however, contending that it establishes hereditary fitness in all whites, while 1t bars out all illiterate blacks. It is there- fore un-Republican, they go on to argue, and Louisiana has not the Republican form of government that the Constitution of the United States guarantees.
 They quite overlook the fact that some negroes could vote in Louisiana and North Carolina in 1867, and that they and their descendants can vote under the grandfather clause. As it applies to all without distinc- ton of color, race or previous condition of servitude. it is difficult to see how it can be set aside in all reason by the Supreme Court, especially in the light of the de- cision of the court in the Mississippi case. The fact that the Mississippi intelligence test was applied to all saved it. There was no discrimination in it, and on the face of the grandfather clause there is none.
 But it would be we'll to have decision before many more States adopt it. So far we know, no case has been made up under the Louisiana clause, although at the time of it's adoption wealthy negroes in Washington had resolved to see that it was tested in the Supreme Court.

THE SONG OF THE SINGER

Arthur Ketchum, in Lippincotts Magazine. Day long upon the dreaming hills
 One watched the idle hours fade by And had no thought of other things
 Than waving grass and summer sky. And all the wilding scents and sounds
 The lavish-hearted season brought He made his own and prisoned them
 Within the little songs he wrought. While he was singing in the town
 His busy brethren bought and sold, And got them place and circumstance,
 And all the pride and pomp of gold. But when the night came with the stars And on the hills her silence laid, He, homeward turned, bore with him
 Naght save the careless songs he made 70 Prodigal!'' his brothers cried,
 And have you done no better thing? And is it thus you spend your day
 To dream in sunshine and to sing?" But he. remembering those still hours
 The dream had made so eloquent The waving grass, the summer sky,
 The purple hillside-smiled, content.

Hard Times Not Coming.

 The business men of the country who are not engaged in speculations of the one sort or the other do not share MT. Keene's pes simistic views They say that the volume of business is very large even in midsum- mer and in Presidential campaign, and they look for year after the Presidential see no indication of return of the depres- sion of 1896 and 1897. They do not propose to look for such indications They are wholly satisfied with the outlook, and they do not think the Presidential campaign will materially effect the situation.

SOUTHERN IRON INDUSTRY
From the Baltimore Sun.

1T ioiii tue 6dillHloTe ouil.
 The iron industry of the South is gradu- ally being diversified and is leading to the creation of related industries. According to the Engineering and Mining Journal, the Semet-Soivay by-product coke ovens, which were built at Ensley, Ala, some work that it has been decided to double the size of the plant by building 125 new ovens, work on which is to be begun at once. The Alabama coke-makers have recognized the advantages gained by the use of these ovens, and their use, it is expected, will extend to other points in the South.-- In connection with these ovens also a plant is to be established for the purpose of working the by-products into various forms for the market. Fortunately for all parties the strike of the Alabama coal miners which was worked up by organizers hail. ing from interested Northern mines, has been ended by an agreement to continue for another year the contract which ex- pired July l. The mining rate in Alabama is based on the selling price of pig iron, and the point at issue was not a change in this respect, but an increase in the base rate. The operators believed that this in- crease was not possible under present con their view. The output of coal in Ala bama for the first half of the year was the largest ever known, and for nearly all the time the miners have received higher wages than ever before.

From the Pail Mall Budget. Writ on ruined place in Kashmr ''The end is nothing, and the end is near" Where are the voices kings were glad to
 hear? Where now the feast, the song, the baya-
 dere? The end is nothing, and the end is near And wonder lovely rose; alas, my dear! See the November garden rank and drear; The end is nothing, and the end is near. See, how the raindrop mingles with the
 mere, Mark how the age devours each passing
 year: Forms rise and grow and wane and dis
 appear, The life allotted thee is now and here; The end is-nothing, and the end is near. The death shroud waits thee and the dark
 palled bier, Alas sweet eyes and bosom tender, dear; The tolling bell the dropping earth l hear; The end is nothing and the end is near Then vex myself no more with thought
 austere; Take what thou canst while thou abdest
 here. Seek finer pleasures each returning year; The end Is nothing, and the end Is near. Blind not myself too much to earthly gear, But eat the bread of life and take good
 cheer, And drink the wine of life and have no
 fear; The end is vision, and the end is near. Joy is the Lord, and Love his charioteer; Be tranquil and rejoicing; oh my dear! Shun the wild seas, far from the breakers
 steer; The end is vision, and the end is near An, banish hope and doubt, regret and
 fear, Check the gay laugh, but dry the idle tear. Search! is the light within thee burning
 clear? The end is vision, and the end is near. List to the wisdom learned of saint and
 seer! Lac living Lord is joy, and peace his
 sphere; Rebel no more! throw down thy shield and
 spear, Surrender all myself; true life is here; The end is vision, and the end is near. Forget not this, forget not that, my dear! Iris all and nothing. and the end is near.
