his regular diet.
Thomas Hardy. the English novelist,

A CHANCE Foa MIR. CARTER.

Former Capt. Carter is to be given
a chance to show that there is no founda-
don for the charge that he assisted IN
swindling the government out OF more
than 81 600 900, one-third of which found
its way into his pocket. Attorney General
Knox has been instructed 10
institute proceedings for the recovery of
the part of the "swag'' which, it is al
legged, Mr.. Carter got.
It is probable that the government
knows where the securities are which are
held for Mr. Carter, and will seize them,
but before IL can deprive him of them 1t
must show that they were purchased with
the proceeds Of the frauds with which he
Is charged.
Mr.. Carter has always claimed that he
ia innocent of the crime for which he is
now serving a sentence in the military
prison al Leavenworth, and that he
should be given a chance to show his in
nocence. In all of the proceedings which
have been instituted for his release from
prison he has declared that one of the
objects he had in view in seeking his alb
erty was to prepare to meet the indict-
ment pending against him in the United
states Court In this judicial district.
In the proceedings for the recovery of
the money alleged to have been obtained
fraudulently from the government, 1t can
be shown whether OF not the money he is
known to have had to the amount OF
more than 500. 900. came into has posses
sion legitimately. AS a matter of fact
Mr.. Carter will not have to prove any
thing. The government will have to show
it's right to the money. II it cannot do
that Mr.. Carter will be in a better posi-
ton than at any time since he was re-
quired to appear before the court-martial
which convicted him.
Evidently the government thinks It has
proof sufficient 90 convince jury that
the securities which are held for MIR.
Carter were purchased with the proceeds
Of the frauds for which he was convict
ed. In fact IL has been stated many
times that the stolen money had been
traced directly to him. The governments
| agents, it is stated, have done such ex-
oellent work in the case of Mr.. Carter,
and his alleged partners in the conspiracy,
that the government knows exactly what
became of pretty nearly every dollar that
was realized from the river and harbor
frauds.
The Carter court-martial attracted wide
attention, but not more than a suit TO
recover the stolen money will. No doubt
the attorneys of Mr.. Carter will make
as hard fight TO prevent the government
from getting HIS securities as they have
thus far made 10 get him out OF prison.

A PIG LABOR UNION.

Labor does not intend to be behind cap
ital In the matter Of combinations. In
our dispatches yesterday IL was stated
will be started for the organization of the
Central Labor Council OF the United
States.
The purpose of this organization is TO

try under one mana cement with the view
of operating them against trusts. 1t will
be a difficult matter OF course to got the
various labor unions TO delegate authority
to one central controlling body. 90 act

THE NEGRO IN ALABAMA.

VIII ths Constitutional Convention,
which has been called in Alabama. pro-
vide. in the constitution it viii frame, for
the Acknowledgement of the negro? The
Probabilities are that ID will. There IS a
strong sentiment throughout the state in
favor of getting rid of iEiterate negro
voters
Whether the Mississippi plan or the
Louisiana plan viii be adopted cannot
now be stated with any degree of certain
". Both have their dra wbacks Under
the Louisiana plan the iliiterate whites
are permitted TO vote while the iliiterate
negroes are disfranchised. and its consti-
utionality is questioned. In Mississippi
there is an educat ional and property test
and a pon tax requirement. 1t is the sup
position that the Hiterate whites find it
easier to pass the educational test than
do the illiterate blacks. AS a matter of
fact, however the ilterate whites do not
seem to care much for the privilege of
voting. The poll tax keeps many thous-
ands of them away from the polls. 1t is
a safe prediction that If provision is made
for a poll tax in Alabama's new constitu-
ton it will not be large enough 10 keep
anybody away from the polls.
If the Constitutional Convention pro-
vides for the Acknowledgement of illiterate
negroes it may be assured that in Aha
bama there is a strong feeling In favor of
a white Republican party. The Mont
gomery Advertiser says: THE Advertiser
he tn
ion that the total and final elimination of
the negro as factor in our politics will
result in a very considerable growth of
Republicanism in Alabama"
All through the South there are men
voting the Democratic ticket at national
elections who are Republicans in princi-
Pile They stand with the Democratic
party because they believe the best inter
ests of the South require that the white
man shall dominate. If the chance for
the negro to get into office is removed
these men will vote in accordance with
their convictions. 1t is practically certain
therefore that the elimination of the
negro from politics means the establish
ment of a white Republican party in the
South.
The states which are DISTINGUISHING the
negro favor white Republican party-at
least that is a fair conclusion And such
a party would in all probability, be a
good thing for the South. 1t would en-
courage the coming of the best class of
immigrants and the investment Of North
ern capital.
The Democratic party, however, Will
continue to be the dominant party in all
of the Southern States for many years.
That party has firm hold on the plain
people. It's principles appeal to them more
strongly than do the principles of any
other party. and there is every reason for
thinking they will continue to do So The
constitutional conventions of both Virginia
and Alabama will be watched with deep
interest by the people of those Southern
states which have not yet taken steps
towards DISTINGUISHING il1iterate negroes.

paralyzed. And II strike should be Of
character TO bring distress upon work
men and their families. and there should
be manifestations of violence. 1t is evident
that there would be troublous times, such
as have never been seen during labor

There would be condition of affairs
such as only the government could deal
with, and unless q strong man were presi-
dept-a man ready and willing to uphold
the government at any cost, as was the
case in 1694-there would be revolution.
1t may be, as claimed, ahat trusts are
the natural evolution of business. but
they are going to present problems as diff
ficult of solution as any the nation has
yet had to deal with. The way the in

calculated to cause even the most opti-
mistic to be conscious of feeling Of I'M
easiness.

Robley d. Evans had some interesting
experiences. He described one of them in
"A Sailors Log" published by the APP

"A party of us-youngsters, of course

beat the Chinese gambling game known
as fan-tan' Our system was carefully
gone over, and the more we examined it
the more certain it appeared that we
had only to play long enough In order to
amass great wealth Finally, we made
out plans to go to the Portuguese city
of Macao, some fifty miles away and
clean out the gambling shops there first,
as they were reputed to be more wealthy
than the Chinese dens in Hong Kong, and
wealth was what we were after. Some
of our shipmates heard Of our scheme,
and, being convinced of the soundness of
our system, intrusted us with various
sums to be invested for their interest
the foundation of their fortunes, as it
were. Four of us finally set out on this
important excursion, reached Macao safe

at one of the best hotels, began our
breaking process on one of the large gam
bling houses. For a time we did we'll
and it really looked as if we were going
to get the best of the game; but the
