SYMPATHY ron THE BoEns.

Former Assistant Secretary OF the In
terror, Webster Davis, in his address at
the Academy Of Music In New York on
Sunday night, under the auspices OF the
New York Committee TO aid the South
African Republics, said he wished 10000
Americans would arm themselves, and,
with an American fleet. go 10 the assist
ance Of the Beers He said also that
England has no right to peddle US
around Europe as the tail of her kite"
What he meant by the latter statement
was that England is endeavoring TO crea,e
the impression that she has secret I'M
derstanding with our government-an I'M
Outstanding which amounts 10 an alliance
that the United States will not permit
anyone of the continental governments Of
Europe to interfere In the South African
war in the interest of the Beers
II is not easy to understand just what
Mr.. Davis is trying to accomplish He
practically admits that there is no prob
ability that 100 900 armed Americans with
a fleet will go TO the assistance of the
Beers. While the American people SYM
pathize with the Beers and many OF
them are contributing money to aid them,
they are not in favor of involving the
country In a war with Great Britain. A
war with Great Britain would cost this
COUNTRY many lives and hundreds of mill
lions of dollars. There have been reports
of an understanding between our govern
ment and that of Great Britain, but it is
doubtful If there is.
No proof of any has been offered, and
the state department has denied the re-
ports.
There are three representatives of the
Transvaal on their way TO this country.
1t is not probable that they hope to ac-
complish anything more than to get the
United States TO offer 10 mediate, but
even in that they are likely to meet with
disappointment, unless it should become
apparent that such an offer would be re-
garded with favor. Great Britain would
no doubt consider 1t in the light of an af-
front. She would feel about it pretty much
as this country would feel If she should
offer to mediate between the Fillp'nos and
ourselves.
The Beer repres entatves, however will
receive very cordial reception. They will
find that their people have the sympathy
of the American people, but not to the
extent that is desired by Mr.. Webster
Davis. They will contribute money to the
Boer cause, but are not ready to send
900 men and fleet TO assist the Beers
in their war with Great Britain

STILL BUILDING MILLS.

Not so many cotton mills for the South
were projected in April as during the
month previous; nevertheless the projec-
tons aggregated good, round figures,
enough to show that the movement Is still
strong and may be expected to last for
some time. There has been heard some
pessimistic talk lately by Northern mill
owners respecting the probable effect upon
the markets of the building of 50 many
new mills in the South. Their fears, how
ever, seem to be wholly for the Northern
mills. In the projecting and promoting of
mills for the South, it is noted and COM
mented upon by the New York Journal Of
Commerce, men who have always be; n
identified with cotton milling and made a
success of that branch of manufacturing
are prominent factors. These men, it is
reasonable to assume, foresee clearly that
the South is destined to be the cotton
manufacturing center of the United
States, hence they are taking steps to es-
taIblish themselves early and firmly in this
section.
A recent development in the situation
which promises much is the organic aticn
of a company to build cotton mill machin-
cry. The plant will be located in Georgia,
and will cost $4,000. 1t will not mako
spindles and looms. The most efficient
patterns of those machines are protected
by patents; but the Georgia factory can
and will make the supplementary appara-
tus for the equipment of factories. This
is an outcome of the present difficulty of
securing machinery for cotton mills. With
the new machinery factory in operation,
it Will be possible to equip new Southern
mills much more expeditiously. New Eng
land capital, by the way, Is to a corsid-
cradle extent interested In this enterprise
During last month the new mills project
ed numbered twenty. the aggregate of
spindles announced amounted to 1890 and
the looms ,4S8. The total investment rep
resented is about 81, $4,000 These figures,
however, do not include two large concerns
practically assured but not oficially re-
! ported which would increase the number
of spindles by 5000 and the sum of capital
employed by $10Oo,0O0

THE RACE PROBLEM CONVENTION.

.
1t is not TO be expected that In the pa
pers which will be read and addresses
which Will be made at the Race Problem
Convention which will assemble at Mont
gomery, Ala, to-day WAL be found the
solution of the race problem In this coun-
try. But 1t is not improbable that things
VIII be said which will help to find the
solution of it. Some OF the best minds
Of the country are giving great attention
to this subject. That they are is proof
that it is regarded as being a very i'm
portant one.
Il is admitted that the negroes are here
to stay, Notwithstanding the fact that
every once in while white or black
man of more or less prominence comes
forward with a proposition to send them
to. Africa, or to colonize them somewhere
else. 1t is an impossibihty 90 send them
out of the country. They don't want to
go, and those who profit by their labor
don't want them to go.
Being here to stay, the question is, what
can be done to make better citizens Of
them? That is the question which the
Montgomery convention will discuss.
1t seems to be the concensus of opinion
that they are making very little If any,
progress In any direction, except In locali-
ties In which the white people are largely
in the majority. Where large numbers
of them are congregated there are crime
and id.eness TO an appalling degree In
all OF the Southern States they furnish
the great majority of the criminals. The
crime for which so many of them are
lynched seems to be on the increase
Every few days there is an account in
the newspap ers of q lynching for the
crime against women. and lynching for
that crime leads to other lynchings. Thus
the white people are led to become disre-
gardful of the laws.
There were those who held to the the
ory that the suffrage would help to edu-
cate the negro. That was a wrong the
Dry. The suffrage has helped to democrat
ize him. He was not prepared for IT, He
did not realize the importance of the bal
lot when it was placed in his hands, and
he abused the power which 1t gave him.
1t might have been different had he trust
ed his old master instead of the stranger
The former would have tried to assist
him to use 1t for his own good. The lat
ter simply used him.
Three states have practically disfran-
chised the negro, and the fourth, North
Carolina, has taken steps In that direc-
! ton. In this state the white primary has
been adopted. The presence of the negro
in politics is demorahzing. viii educa-
tlon change this? That is a question that
cannot now be answered. 1t is claimed
that it will.
The race problem may be solved in n
way not now apparent. Conventions like
that at Montgomery will keep 1t agitated
along lines that will likely lead to its
solution.

WHY NOT RAISE ouR own SUGAR,

The New York Sun, in commenting on
the failure of sugar beet mill company
because the mill was situated too far
from the beet fields, says: why should
we not raise our own sugar just as we
raise our own breadstuffs, and provisions
and cotton?''
There Is no reason why we should not
According to the Suns figures it would re-
quire only million acres of land to grow
the sugar we now consume 1t Is safe to
say that we have that amount of cane
sugar lands, to say nothing about the
drawn to the cane sugar lands of this
state and Florida. We mentioned a few
days ego that a sugar refinery to cost
million of dollars was to be built at
Tampa. In our dispatches yesterday, it
was stated that the prospect of a refinery
at Quitman was very promising. 1t would
not be at all surprising If there should
be quite a number of refineries in this
state and Florida within the next few
years.
There is no good reason why we should
continue to pay annually to other coun-
tries more for sugar than we get for the
wheat we export. Last year the wheat
we sent abroad brought us $S1. 447, 4O5, while
We paid out for sugar, sos, 1T, SS7. There
is no good reason why our great country.
having every variety of climate and soil,
should not raise all the sugar we need.

DEWEY SURPRISED.

At 81. Louis on Saturday Admiral Dewey
was shown a dispatch that his poitical
managers had determined to drop him as
presidential candidate and try and have
him nominated for Vice President on the
ticket with Mr. Bryan II is stated that
he seemed to be greatly surprised, and de-
clared that IT was news to him. In our
dispatches yesterday 1t was said that at
conference in Chicago day or two ago
of leading Democrats, Populists and SIN
yer Republicans it was decided that the
Democratic ticket should be Bryan and
Towne.
AS a matter of fact 1t is very doubtful
If there Is any certainty as to who will
be the candidate for Vice President on
either the Republican or the Democratic
ticket. The report that the Democrats
had decided to make Admiral Dewey their
candidate for Vice President came from
Republican sources. 1t is evident that the
Republicans are very much afraid that
that is their intention. They believe that
Dewey would add greatly 10 the popularity
of the Democratic ticket Holding that
view, they are insisting that If the Admiral
is candidate for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket, the Republican ti,ket
must be Mckinley and Roosevelt. But
Gov. Roosevelt doesn't want to be a can
didate for Vice President, and the Repub-
lean leaders of New York do not want
him to be. They are afraid that without
him as their candidate for Governor the
Republicans win not be able to carry New
York.
There Is one thing of which Admiral
Dewey must have become certain by this
time, and that is that there is no chance
for him to get a presidential nomination,

1t Is well-establshed principle of
army hygiene that in hot climates alec
holic liquors should be tabooed and the
diet of soldiers should be light. Surgeon
Woodruff. U. S. A. in a paper in the Med
ical Press of Washington combats the
principle strongly. He has had consider
able experience in the Philippines, and
says from what he has seen he is of the
opinion that the regulations respecting
drink and food should be modified. "Icx-
perience has demonstrated" says he,
that in hot climate the moderate use
of intoxicating drink is essential to con-
tinued health and efficiency. Every for
eign service finds il necessary 10 issue
spirits In the field from time to time E"
The surgeon insists that a spare diet is
an error, and cites the case of a Sanu-
ago command whose surgeon placed the
men on short diet, while he himself ate
copiously. Out of dozen men in his mess
he was the only one who escaped sick
ness. Surgeon Woodruff says the food
supply should be ample and nourishing.
