England Should Feed It's Own Poor,

If the Britsh empire can subscribe in day a billion and a half dollars to a loan to prosecute war of conquest against two feeble nations in South Africa, the people of that grasping country should feed the starving of the countries it has subdued. The English colonial system has impover- ished India, and millions of the people are starving to death. Let England feed it's poor. This coun try has troubles of it's own. Puerto Rico is demanding 300 tons of food per week from the paternal Uncle Sam. There will soon be other island burdens Q f the same sort added to the respODsi . bilities of this country. England has gall to ask any other nation or iDdi- vidual for cent of aid for India. II the brown people aie 10 be crowded of the earth, why daily with The job.
 Why send aid 10 India to prolong the lives of the miserable wretchesy If Anglo.SdxOn civilization is to sweep the :lDDe in the twentieth century, why have any delay abtnt pushing the thing along! fAsia, Africa and the islands of the seas are to be subdued and pounded into Christian nations why moi let famine help the missioD- aries of progress? A United States senator d few days ago solemnly as- serted in the senate that he felt sure that God would in good time remove the heatben in the Philippines and Dtler islands on the past Of Asia. He did tbis, put the inference is that war. pcstiience and famine would be the agents used. This is putting beayy responsibilities on the Deity. Exchange.

The North Carolina Campaign.

The democratic managers in the
North Carolina campaign will lose
nothing by declining to be drawn into
a controversy with belated pOpulist
enemies, who seek to do the work of
republican schemers.
The great issue before the people OF
the Old North State is the final estab-
lishment of Caucasian civilization. No
matter how great the peace of the pres
ent day may be. as long as dangerous
element exists in the electorate, they
know not when disaster and confusion
may intrude. 1t is in the interest of
self-preservation that they must pro-
ceed to the adoption of the constitu-
tional amendment, which will save
them in the future from the scandals
which have marked the past few years.
While, as a general principle, it is
true that opposing political parties are
benefit. yet conditions in the south
are such that when one of these par
ties makes itself the agent for the ig-
norance and the crime of the state, in
the interest of good citizenship it's
fangs must be extracted, and the body
polite be saved from the dangers
which threaten it. The inability of the
republican party to win for itself a
respectable position in the southern
states is inherent. Even at the present
day it is as much the slave of venality
and of ignorance as it was in the days
of reconstruction. When We see an al
legged claimant for the governorship
OF Kentucky fly his own state from an
indictment, and place himself beneath
the bomb proof of another jurisdiction,
we have but fair example of repub-
lican lawlessness and weakness.
What is true of North Carolina and
of Kentucky is equally true of every
other state in the south. and it, there
fore, behooves the people of these va
rious communities either to reform the
franchise so as to exclude undesirable
elements or. following the example of
Georgia. organize such white primary
that, all questions being settled. the
regular election will but register the
will Of the conservative people.

The Cheese Industry.

Or Of the most successful works
earned on by the Georgia experimental
station is that Of cheese making-nO
that the industry has developed to any
extent, but that the experiment has
proven the possibilities ahead.
The cow-and we should speak OF
her with the greatest respects one
of the greatest wealthproducers in the
world. Whether We consider her in her
self or in her product, she always re-
mains a fruitful source Of profit. States
OF the northwest have escaped a condi-
tion of mortgage through her aid and
in no form more effectually than in
that of cheese does she answer eXpec-
tatiOn.
The value OF the cheese industry has
been brought into prominence by the
activity at Washington of cheese man
ufacturers to obtain legislation pre-
venting the misbranding of this prod
uct At present the yearly output is es-
timated at close upon 1000 pounds.
Ohio contains 1897 factories and has
increased about 80 per cent during the
past five years, but Pennsylvania, New
York, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan
and Vermont are well up In the list.
OF course, the butter industry is the
most important industry among the
dairy interests, its annual production
mounting up to S50,000,000 pounds. 1t
is estimated that tho United States
consumes about 100000 pounds a
year. of which 100000 is imported.
while our own industries export fully
70,000,00e During the last four years
these last figures have been practically
doubled. most of our exported cheese
going to England. where 1t is a fashion
OF speech to say that the Cheshire
cheese" sold in London all comes from
this country.
In drawing attention to this bi-prod-
uct OF the stock industry The Constftu-
tion hopes to center interest upon this
most abundant source of income-one
which can be rendered local in every
community in the state. Georgia has
the grasses the running streams, the
shades and the climate which favor
most the dairy industry. There is mon
ey in the farm, not for the mere hum
drum worker, but for the man of COM
mon sense and intelligence who puts
his head into his business.

a .sepregation" Problem.

Tho fact that there is shortly TO be
held in Montgomery a conference for
the discussion OF the race problem
gives The New York sun opportunity
TO remark that there is no race prob
lem. properly so called. for the reason
that whatever there may be proble-
matioal about it will be solved and ad-
justed in due time by the process of
growth and development.
But our contemporary contends that
there IS really great southern prob
lem" and proceeds 10 indicate it. This
really great southern problem is the
solid SOUTH" and The sun thus COM
ments on il: $50 long. therefore, as
we have what is called the solid south,
or a group OF states which vote solid
IN on one side. whatever the issue. so
that practically there is no political
discussion I'm them. the group segre-
gates itself from the nation with re-
suits Injurious to itself and dangerous
to the rest
Well. there are some big words in
the foregoing. but big words do not
make n really great southern prob
lem" We think the segregation, the in
Jury and the danger are all in the edi-
tors eve or mind. and therefore have
no concrete existence. Rehind The
SUMS statement OF its invented prob
lem there is, OF course. the desire that
the people of the south should turn
about and vote the republican ticket.
nc matter what the issue. If the segre-
cation took that shape, il would not be
dangerous or injurious. but on the con-
trary. would be very wise and beauti-
ful.
The Sun at least admits that there is
no unusual methods brought to bear
TO produce this solidarity which has
been an eyesore TO every republican
partisan since the days of poor Thad
Stevens. There must be some very
powerful necessity which causes the
people OF a group of states to act al
most as one mind and TO move by a
common impulse. II has been no long
time since the north was as solidly re-

Democracy and the Canal.

The confidence of United States Sen
ator John T. Morgan that he can secure
the passage OF the Nicaraguan canal
bill during the present session should
be seconded by every democrat in both
louses.
The establishment OF this canal
would make the ocean and gulf coasts
of the southern states the waterfront
of the world: hence every southern
con gressman, regardless OF party,
should favor il. Ii would bring the
cis-Rocky mountain country, which Is
drained by the rivers emptying into
the Mississippi into the position or
ocean front states. IL would make
available the one fleet for service in
either ocean, as demanded. Ii would
make the United States the center OF
the worlds industrial civilization.
The objection which many democrats
make 10 the canal bill because of the
accompanying treaty, should not be
permitted to defeat this great inter-
oceanic work. The treaty. in denying
the right of fortification. deserves all
the censure which democrats have Civ
en- it. but that should not permit us to
stand in the way of a much greater

building OF the canal itself. The Mica
ragua canal is a necessity, whether
with or without the treaty, and II
should be built at all hazards. In the
meantime the treaty itself can be ham
died upon its own merits, amended If
possible. or adopted IL necessary TO the
accomplishment of the main design.
The right OF Notifications is one
which should belong to the United
States. and which certainly never viii
belong TO anv other power. But these
extranecus issues must not confuse the
canal project itself. which stands pre-
eminent as a worldwide necessity. and
the completion OF which would be the
elimination of American commercial
enterprise. AS TO the future We can
very safely await what il has to dis
close. satisfied that in all contingencies
we will be able 90 take care of our own
interests.

mercial enterprise. Americans should
not lose the canal by anita gonizing each

present strained relations between the
two governments grows out of persecu-
tions of missionaries who went into
the Turkish empire. Undoubtedly the
missionary, preserving the character OF
the country whence he hailed, is enL-
tied to the protection of his country to
the uttermost limit. But between what
a man is entitled to and what is pru-
dent for him to claim, there is often a
difference. A merchant goes to for
eign country for the single and sole
purpose OF making money and coming
away. The missionary goes to make
himself one with these people, in order
to lead them to the adoption of his
views. Standing among them as an
ambassador from heaven, with an orig
inal commission and facing the fate Of
tn, early apostles, he is content to pay
the penalty of his zeal. But if he
stands among them with his political
character hiding his mission, he is
likely to arouse race and national jeai-
ousies which will interfere with his
mission. OF course these are questions
for those concerned to consider, but
they seem to be worthy OF thought, II
We would look at the ultimate results
which are to be gained.

publican as the south has been and
still is democratic. Nobody then applied
to the north to change its views be-
cause of the danger of segregation.
Democratic principles were left to
work out their own, revival and justifi-
cation, and they have made considera-
BILE headway i'm the north. On the 9TH
er hand. republican principles have not
made the slightest advance in the
south and for the very good reason
that they do not commend themselves
to tho thinking people of this section.
There is just as much political inde-
pendence in the south as in the north,
and this fact would make itself felt in
a very marked manner should the par
ty to which the people have become at
tached show any disposition to betray
or repudiate democratic principles.

question OF what are We here for?"
as its guide of action, republican policy
has been dictated by loaves and fishes.
Acknowledging the patriotism OF the
republican states, wherever IL comes
to a national convention for the nomi-
nation OF president. they must ground
their colors to the man who can con-
trol the purchasable delegations from
the south. They have controlled since
the days OF Grant, and they will con-
tinue to do so. The only escape which
the people of the north have from this
incubus is through democratic success.
which will bring to the front the virtue
and the patriotism of all the states.
Plainly The Press sees the need for

IL is time that this disgrace is ended.

No matter how radical may be the
steps taken by the national convention,
the evil will still remain. for with an
Improvement OF the personnel OF the
party. republicanism itself will remain
an unhealthy exotic which can never
be acclimated. Its politics have always
been offensive and at war with the or
ganic law of the land. Its belief in po-
litical expediency renders il source
OF danger useful in the hands of in
triguers and special interests. 1t has
no conception OF popular rights nor OF

will remain equally objectionable,
