The Negro Question.

The Daily States Of New Orleans,
which always takes a determind stand
on public questions, has the following
to say about the negro.
s'Some men have recommended de
portation as the remedy; but that is
utterly impractieable. Some have
recommended that the negro should
be driven out of the country. That
would be extremely cruel. In our
opinion, the only remedy at once
practicable and humane is, If we may
term it, repression. That is to
say, the negro must be, ruled down
with an iron hand. He must be
made to understand that he is the
inferior race. that all hope of any
thing beyond his personal liberty, the
protection Of his life, his property
and wages, is beyond his aspirations.
When he learns that fact and ceases
to listen to demegogues and agitators.
both in and out of the press, and
submits himself to the position and
the destiny into which providence has
placed him and assigned him to, he
will reach all that he can hope for
and become, in the pursuit OF such
honest toll as may be assigned him, he
will be happy human being. But
if he refuses to accept that fate, in
the South, New York or in Boston,
whenever he attempts to lift his head
outside of his sphere, be he innocent
or guilty, he will become the victim
Of brutal and irrepressible, because
entirely natural race feeling.
And the next time any trouble
with the blacks occur in the South
let New York and Botson recognize
the fact that Southern men are
human, enlightened and just as are
those of the North and then let us
alone and mind their own business. =

A Campaign Offer.

The Constitution, of Atlanta, Ga,

editions complete to new subscribers,
from the date the order reaches that
office until November 10th for only
s1.00. This last campaign offer
will take the subscriber beyond and
give him the full news of the Presi-
dental election, The period thus
covered will be of unusual interest,
not only because of the election and
the questions pending thereof, but it
will be full of events, and guesses at
the truth of reported events in China.
The struggle is on between the 'syei-
low terrows' and the foreign devils
and it will consume the worlds at
tention for many months. Tht
Constitution always covers all the
news completely and this excetiona
offer will doubtless test their ful

st. Louis. Dec. ia special to the
t-Dispatch from Texarkana, Ark,
says:
A bold robbery on the Cotton Belt
railroad occurred today az Bassetts,
Tex, thirty miles south of TeXarkana
on the train coming north in which
Postal Clerk John n. Dennis was al
most killed and the mail pouches of his
car rified of their contents. The
amount stolen is not known.
As the train left the Bassetts water
tank at a. m. the express and mail
cars were separated from the train, but
the train crew soon had them coupled
again In the run from there TO TEX
arkana the coaches were uncoupled
twice in a mysterious manner
Upon the arrival of the train here the
United States transfer clerk went TO
the door of the mail car and knocked
for the postal clerk to open it. No re-
sponse was given. officials then forced
an entrance and We're astonished to find
the clerk, John y. Dennis, stretched
upon the floor, apparently dead.
A hurried examination showed that
the registered pouches had been ripped
open and robbed of their contents, the
most valuable Of which was the wayne

large number of valuable packages

conscious. An ugly wound on the top
after he was taken to the hospital he
revived enough to give the details Of
the robbery.
Just as the train parted at Bassetts
Tank, Dennis went into the vesubule
Of the mail car TO stir up the FIRE.
When he opened the vestibule door he
saw two men standing by the stove, one
of whom dealt him a terrible blow over
the head with a heavy fire shovel The
first blow felIed him and he was then
quickly beaten into a senseless cOndi-
ton. He knew nothing more until he
was removed to the TeXarkana hospital
He is in q critical condition.
Examination of the car showed that
the robbers gained entrance by crawl
ing through a small trap door through
the floor of the vestibule. In the vesti-
bule is a crank with which a person
can uncOuple a car, and it was the in
tentiOn of the robbers to discOnneCt
and get control Of both cars. it is be
lieved.
It is impossible to tell how much they
secured.
There is little to work on as the men
could have left the car at three differ
ent places before the train arrived here
Word has reached here that two sus-
poets have been arrested at Naples,
near the scene OF the robbery, but none
of the stolen packages were found.
Dennis is an old and trusted mail
clerk.

TO BRITISH ARMS IS
REPORTED FROM The TRRNSVAAI

former financial secretary Of the war
Office, answering a question, said 1872
$50 horses and mules had been landed
in South Africa during the war.
Timothy NJ. Healy's Interpolation as
to the number of asses sent to South
Africa was not answered
Mr.. Healy, who is the Irish national
ist member for North Louth, asked
how much of the new loan was to be
fl0ated in Wall street. He added: ct
strongly object to the association of
Wall street in British national inter
ests. When we have the interruptions
ity of Wall street on top of us we shall
pay dearly for the small sum saved
the country in discount. The whole
cost of the war should be placed on
the TransvaaL"
Sir William Vernon Harcourt con-
tended that, judging from the present
prospects, the cost of British rule in
the -TransvaaI and the Orange River
colony would be far greater than Roer
rule had been. He estimated that
General Baden-P0welFs police would
cost $4,000, COO a year, a sum equal to
the last TransvaaI budget.

Ogden, Dec. IA plan to store TO-
5OO,OO0,OO0 gallons of water annually
for power and irrigating purposes was
today disclosed by the Utah Light &
Power company, when it filed locations
on four water rights and reservoir
sites in Ogden valley and canyon. The
scheme is a stupendous one, but has
received careful attention from experts
and is pronounced entirely feasible. So
far have the arrangements already
progressed that it is quite probable
one reservoir will be completed this
season. The reservoir sites located to-
day are all in Ogden valley, one being
just above the present seepage dam
of the company. The. other three are
respectively on South Fork, Middle
Fork and North Fork of Ogden river,
and hence above the one first men
toned.

of the locality viii recall that ogden

quired by the city in case the NUM-
cipality should desire to build a sys-
TEN of its own.
The idea grows out Of the former
plan to build a big reservoir to sup
ply the pipes of the Pioneer Electric
Power company, since merged into the
Utah Light & Power company.
At that time it was thought
to construct one big dam just
at the entrance of the ''Narr0ws. -
where the present seepage dam is To-
Gated Later Investigations showed
that bed rock could not be found. and
hence no large reservoir could be safe
" constructed. This new plan brings
about practically the same result by
q, system Of smaller reservoirs. The
great objection to the former dam, on
the score of danger to Ogden in case
it should give way. is minimized as
unless all the dams should give way
simultaneously, the rush would not
overwhelm the residences along the
river lower down.
The new scheme is the work Of Z.
