Berlin, Nov. 2o.-In the reichstag
Monday. on the occasion of the pres
entation of the supplementary credit

perial chancellor, emphatically de-
MED the assertion frequently made

trac e. TO the GERMAN occupation
of kiao-Chou.
The count said further:
"What Germans desire is not political
adventure. but the assertion of our inter-
ests, our rights. and our honor as a great
people. We are waging no war of con-
quest on China. We only wish for atone
ment foN Chinese misdeeds and guaranty
Of reforms. We especially desire atone
ment, since. otherwise. such things might
occur again. We desire that the influence
accruirg to Germany in the present move
ment shall be preserved to her. We desire
our share in what is TO be won from China.
We will not overreach anyone and we will
not let anyone overreach US. We have
nothing to gain by partition of China,
and do not desire il. We shall fare best

the democratic National platform OF tho
year places silver third in importance, su-
bordinating IL to imperialism and the
trusts. There are grave reasons why me
republicans do not wish or dare to take
UP those questions with their opponents
aud the country, and SO, as they could not
nave the privilege of writing the Kansas
City platform to SUIT themselves, they are
making despairing efforts 10 oonslrue II
to meet the exigeneies of the situation in
which they find themselves.
In one respect we are compelled to con
fess that we agree with our esteemed re-
publican contemporaries and admit that
this is d single issue campaign. But the
issue Is not silver. The real, all contain
ing issue before the people is: Shall the
country be turned over to Hanna and HIS
allies for another four years to be taxed
and looted for their sole account and en-
richment, as 1t has been ever since the
Inauguration OF William Mckinley IN
March, 1887?
That is the burning question and the
paramount one. 1t Is for the voting masses
Of America to decide what they will have.
II IN presidential election, honestly con-
duu,ed, they express their will that Hanna
and Mckinley, representing the trusts and
thu money power, shall be continued in
unbridled power for another executive
term, then It will be perfectly plain that
the black book OF evils and corruptions
called FTannaism is acceptable TO a major
ity Of the American people. and that they
take 1t with sill that 1t Involves. knowingly
and willingly
In that event Hanna and his combina-
ton will Justly claim that they hold the
popular mandate 10 rule and ruin as they
like, and the world will be shocked at their
moderation II they do not make away with
everything in sight. There is no doub'
whatever that there will be one dominant
and determining issue from this time un-
III the day of election, 1t viii not be
silver; 1t will be the emancipation of the

NEGROES IN COTTON MILLS.
Observations by Prof. BIuckshcar in
south CaroIina.

10 the Editor OF the Post.
Charleston, S c.. July 17.-Among the
many scenes OF interest in Charleston,
the Vesta Cotton mill, which employs
colored operatives, has attracted wide at
tention. This mill employs 425 colored
operatives. The foremen and superin-
tendents are white men, but the operatives
are negroes, This mill has demonstrated
that negroes can master the cottoS mill
work. They have no difficulty in operat-
Ing the machines, and many soon make
skilled. effective workers. OF course, the
main body OF operatives are women and
children, The negroes have NO trouble
in learning to operate all the machines
and they make good hands,
AS many towns in Texas are planning
10 put in colton mills. the writer of this
short article desires to call attention to
/ the availability of colored women and
children for cotton mill work.
The best solution OF tho negro problem

useful and reasonable rsmunera'lye labor
Tine surplus negro population of the South
can not be better employed than in cotton
factories. They can be handled to greater
profit by foremen who understand them
than white labor and their ability 10 do
the work has been demons trutsd by the
