gSir-Permit me to add a word to tbs
many excellent articles written in favor
Of separate coaches for the colored travel
lers of our State. As one who is deeply
interested in the matter and has seen
the evils of the present system. would
say, never has there been a time when
the true Southerner would object to as
ISOLATION with some members OF this
valued race. provided they arc willing
to occupy their proper place and con-
duct themselves in the proper way But
the rising generation know not the ways
Of their genteel grandparents. and to-
day they are public nuisance.
The writer is fresh from an example
of this when a party of ill-nannered
colored men and women boarded the
train, thrust themselves into a quiet
peaceful car full of ladies and gectls-
men, and by their loud voices ard OBJ
trusive speaking, effectually destroyed
all reading and all comfort for the rest
of the day. We can hardly blame them,
for they know no better. but we may
blame the white man for submitting to
this company for his wife and children,
whom he seeks to protect from all .2ttl-
gar association. a READER

Thanks to the Uitlander, the Transvaal
Republic is one of the richest governments
in the world in proportion TO its popula-
ton. AS was stated in the article on th!s
subject yesterday, taken from the North
American Review, the republic was bank
rupt when it was annexed by Great
Britain, but the discovery Of gold mines
drew in a large population from outside,
and the revenues of government have
since steadily increased.
n 1885, So the Republic had revenue Of
81, 790 600, and we suppose that the reVe-
nues are considerably in excess of tnai
s,,m now. It is interesting to note also
that as the revenues have increased the
expenses of government have also IN
creased This is particularly true Of the.
item Of official salaries. In 1855 the
Republic had a revenue of S1,092,5oo
and the expenses We're their SslS, COO. me
official salaries were then $3.50, 1o5, while
in 1899 the salaries aggregated more than
this, S1.0OoG0O. In 1884 the military eN-
penses were $4,000, and in 1897 they Were
swelled to no less than $3,000.G99. In 1883
the Orange Free State had a revenue OF
$4,50o, 600 This State has a population of
only $1,000 inhabitants, and a public debt
of s225, 900, which shows that it is in very
comfortable circumstances. These figures
are taken from an article in the New

Man thinks that he is lord of all creation,
And boasts about the things that he can

He claims to occupy a higher station
Than thoughtless woman may aspire to.
But where's the man who, with his lordly

Could cling to seven bundles and a

And stand up in a jolting car three

And drag skirt and keep from going
