In his impromptu speech in the Ohio
Republican convention, Senator Han
m said:
1.-THE results of the war with Spain
are not accidents. The destiny which
has been written for this country must
be fulfilled in the natural order Of
things. 1t was but one step forward In
the direction of the duty set'Out tor u
TO do and no matter what influences
may be thrown around us to impede
our progress, it cannot and viii not
STOP"
One would Judge from this, that Mr.
Hanna. as leading Republican has
been among the first to follow "the
destiny" which has been laid out, for
our country, including the war with
Spain, with the Philippines, etc. The
truth is, as every one knows who KEPT
up with the events of the times, thai
Mr.. Hanna did all he could to preyen,
the war in the name of liberty and hu
mAnity for Cuba; that he kept telling
the newspapers ''There will be no war, '
and that his influence with the Presi
dent made him 30 slow that Congress
almost had to take the matter in itt
own hands. Mr.: Hanna should not be
given credit for doing what he did hi
best to prevent. -

SENATOR Tilman, of South carolin.

SENATOR Tilman, of South Carolina,
lectured at Ann ArbOr University,
Michigan, Saturday night, on "The
Race Question of the South" He was
hissed when he said, "You scratch one
Of these colored graduates, and under
the skin, you will find savage" The
colored man might well retort, "Scratch
. white man in Georgia, or at Mays
Vile, Kentucky, and you will find q
savage" The peaceable disposition
shown by the colored race of the South,
during the war, when the adult white
msles were in the armies, and the
homes, plantations, and women of the
South were often in the care of the
colored servants, and where there was
absolutely no complaint Of their un-
faithfulness, where there was every op-
pcrtunity,) is a complete answer to and
refutation of Tillman's charge. 1t WAS
bad enough to rob the colored race for
hundreds of years, without this whole
sale slander. The atrocities that q
few blacks have committed, are to be
set down as much to the injustice Of the
whites as the diabolism Of their perpe-
traitors. Nobody believes that . race
coming out Of barbarism, followed by
three hundred years Of servitude, Is
equal to . race that has had the best
advantages the world has offered; but
the history of the colored race in this
country, as a race, has been one Of suf-
fering and forbearing. The race
should not be held responsible for the
acts of few. We do not so Judge the
white race.

Middleburg has a ghost:-A Belle
fontaine dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
quirer had the following: "Aunt Mary
Dixon, aged and eccentric, for many
years lived alone in an old log house
near Middleburg. She obtained an ex-
tensive reputation from the supersti-
tiOus of this county as q sOOthsayer.
She died few days ago, and a well
known family moved into the vacant
house. The family drove hurriedly in
to Middleburg the following morning
in their night clothing and excitedly
stated that they were driven from their
home by the old lady's ghost. The
rattling of chains and deep groans dis
turbed them and they claimed the
ghost wrapped in table cloth drove
them from the place. The affair has
caused great excitement. No one will

destroyed. Quincy Herald.
The paper containing the preceding
was handed us by M. r. Williams last
Saturday. We were somewhat sur
prised at the ghost part and expressed
our skepticism and bravery. Little did
we think our courage was to be so soon
severely tested. Retiring at the usual
hour, we were soon soundly asleep,
from which we were aroused by a
breath of icy coldness and blood curd-
ling groan half moan, half shrek. In
the dim light we saw white clad fig
ure crouched near the head of the bed
by ike window. Cautiously we felt be-
meath our pillow for our trusty revol-
yer. 1t was gone. But it was loaded
with ordinary cartridges, and dim
remembrance came that ghosts could
only be wounded by piece of silver
dug up by q cross-eyed rabbit, which
belonged to q left-handed negro, or
something similar. Then our repor-
torial instincts awoke and we decided to
address 'ft." But suppose sit" an
swered by raps, how many raps made
"yes" and how many ''nos." We asked
what it was doing, and with another
sound the window was low
cred and the eldest little Prentice said:
"Ethel said the pig was in the yard,
but can't see her." and she returned
to her bed and we turned over for an
other nap.
