woman of Petoskey, Mich, who is
visiting friends there. She says that
since the condemnation of CzoIgosz.
the wives of three of the most prom

ROOSEVELT DIMES A pARKEY.

With many qualities that are good
with some, possibly, that are great
MIR. Roosevelt is a negrophilist.
While Governor of New York he
invited negro (who, on account of
race prejudice, could not obtain &C
Communications at any hoteD to be his
guest at the executive mansion, and.
it is said, gave him the best room in
the house.
Night before last the President
had Professor Booker Z. Washington
to dine with him at the White
House. That was a deliberate act,
taken under no alleged pressure of
necessity, as i'll the Albany case, and
may be taken as outlining his
policy towards the negro as factor
IN Washington society. We say
washington society,"" rather than
american society,"" because the
former, on account of its political
atmospheric much more advanced"
In such matters than that of any
other American city of which we
know anything.
With our long matured views on
the subject of social intercourse
between blacks aud whites, the least
we can say now is that we deplore
the Presidents taste, and we distrust
his wisdom. = Richmond DISPATCH
HISS RoosEvELT's PICTURE.
AS the days wear on the protests
are coming up from every hole and
corner of the South, and in some
places North. Every newspaper has
some protest against the Presidents
action. The action of Richmond
people is sample of what is going on
throughout the South. When Roose-
velt's picture was thrown upon can
vass at the Bijou Theatre misses came
from all parts of the house, and when
the reason was asked the answer was
given "Dined with a nigger." Mr..
McKinley's picture was loudly
cheered.
The Dispatch says further: The
fact is the public always has dis
trusted Roosevelt's judgment and
the death of Mr.. Mckinley might
have had a very dampening effect
upon the business interests of this
country had not the press, Demo-
cratic and Republican, hoped for the
best and assured the people that re-
sponsibility would have calming
effect upon the giddy Rough Rider.
But what do we see? Why a "break"
which neither Mckinley, nor Harri-
son, nor Arthur, nor any other Presi-
dent was guilty of, and which, we
believe is destined to do the negroes
a hundredfold more harm than good.
The Nesos adds this: Two days
ago Theodore Roosevelt was as popu.
lar as any man in Richmond. and
to-day it would be difficult to find a
more unpopular one. The dining of
Booker Washington, even though
good specimen of his race, has created
a profound impression here, and the
general impression is that Roosevelt
has forever alienated the white people
If the South without regard to
politics.
RoosEvELT's SENSE OF HONOR.
According to a Washington cor
respondent, President Roosevelt was
lot a little amused over the criti-
ism on the part of some South
rners and Southern newspapers
because he entertained at dinner
Wednesday night Booker T. Wash 8
ngton. The correspondent adds that
President Roosevelt only laughs at
ne criticism of his entertainment of '

ANOTHER disaster to American
troops on the Island Samar, in the
Philippines. This is the second time
that our troops have been surprised
and slaughtered by bolomen. One
American rifle is supposed to be
equal to twenty bolos, and why it is
that American troops should meet
with disaster in this way is mys-
terry. Doubtless if the Department
should make honest inquiry neglect
of duty would be discovered on the
part of the officers, and a surplus of
apple-jack is very likely at the bot
tom of it. What boots it if a hun.
dred bolomen were killed. One Amer
lean life is worth more than a hun
dred, yea, thousand of these sav
ages.

The experience which Lancaster
had with its chain-gang system leads
us to heartily concur in the movement
that is being made towards using
the convicts of the penitentiary for
the purposes of building good roads.
Give us ten or twelve able-bodied
men for year and our roads would
be gotten into such condition that
less than half that numbe would be
required to keep them permanently
In good shape. Expedite the move
