SCANDINAVIAN TRADE.

In recent years the United States
government has become very close
ly related to the Scandinavian coun-
tries through heavy trade relations,
as shown by Frank III. Hitch
cock Of the agricultural depart
ment Of this country, which are ex-
ceedingly encouraging for the Unit
ed States. The Scandinavian corln-
try, which is made up Of Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, during the
past ten years has done a heavy trade
with the United States. Since 1890
the trade with these countries on the
part of the United States has risen
from $9,OO0,0O0 to nearly $29,OOO,-
900. This country imported from
Scandinavia in 1890 $4,0OO,OOO
worth, and yet in 1900 its imports
did not exceed $5,0O0,O0O, which
shows balance in favor of the Unit
ed States of pretty nearly $25,OOO,-
600 worth of trade. From this re-
port it is also learned that the ex-
ports to Denmark form the principal
factor Of this Scandinavian trade,
$18,000,000 worth going to Den
mark and $10,O0O,0OO to Norway.
These countries are dealing extern
sively at present in agricultural i'm
plements, made and manufactured in
the United States. The agricultural
conditions of that country are being
more thoroughly developed at pres
ent than they have been for many
years past, and the implements made
here seem to meet the needs of such
improvements more completely than
those made in any other country in
the world, hence the great export
trade from the United States to
Scandinavia.

HE STOOD PAT.

One county sheriff in the state of
Georgia has distinguished himself
by repulsing a mob bent on lynching
a man convicted Of murder, but who
had been granted stay Of execution
pending an appeal to the supreme
court of the state. When an angry
mob of 800 OF more men had crowd
ed into the county Jail at Carroll
ton, Ga, one day last week with the
avowed purpose of seizing one Joe
Merrill, a Negro, that summary jus
tice might be administered to him,
they were met by the sheriff and
three deputies, who commanded the
would-be lynchers to retreat or suf-
fer the consequences; but they stead
lily advanced on the sheriff and his
allies, and to prevent them from get
ting their hands on the man the COM
mand to fire on the mob was given,
which resulted in one man being in
stantly killed and three fatally
wounded. This was such an uneX-
pected surprise to the mob that it
fled panic-stricken, and before an
other could be collected the state
militia was on hand and the prisoner
spirited away to Atlanta for safe
keeping. While the remedy admin
istered to those accused Of law
breaking was rtaher severe one,
and one that should only be admin
istered in the most extreme cases, YET
when it has to be administered it
should be administered in the most
telling as well as effective manner.
Lynch law should go, and there
seems to be no other way to start it
going except by beginning to lynch
the lynchers; that is to say, when
mobs collect for the express purpose
Of defying the law, then the law

SISTER SMITH SICK.

The many acquaintances as well
as personal admirers of Mrs. Aman-
da Smith, whose portrait is herewith
presented, will regret to learn of her
dangerous illness at her home in
Chicago. A few days ago, while she
was driving to her home, returning
from business trip to the heart of
the city, the animal drawing the
vehicle took fright and made wild
dash down the thoroughfare. She
was soon thrown from the carriage
and sustained internal injuries that
may prove fatal, though her physi-
clans still have hopes of pulling her
safely through, despite her age and
infrmities. "Sister Smith," as she
is known throughout the length and
breadth Of Christendom, is one of
the most successful evangelists that
the present age has produced, and
she has evangelical among all ma
tionalities, classes and conditions.
Though born a slave, she has been
received with open arms by the rich
and the poor, the grand and the
humble, the white and the black, the
Jew and the gentle, until her color
is no longer distressing condition
against her in her chosen field of la
Dor. Through her personal efforts
she has raised sufficient funds to es-
tablish home for colored orphans
near Chicago, which is now doing eN-
ceedingly well, and has many foun-
dlings therein receiving the very
best attention and care. 1t would
appear that there is still more work
for her to do, and it is hoped that
she will be spared to accomplish it.

AGNosTICs GET MARRIED.

Recently two agnostics were
united in marriage according to ag-
nostic ideas Of the matrimonial cere-
mony. These two creatures were evl-
IDENTIFY looking for an oversupply of
newspaper nOtoriety, which prompt
ed them to make themselves a mark
at which the newspapers by and
large could take random shots. 1t
is regretted that the many random
shots taken at them could not have
hit the mark and prove fatal to both
of them. In this country land it
should be the same in every coun-
try) every man has the right to either
believe in God or not believe in Him;
to worship God or not worship Him,
according to the dictates Of his own
conscience, but the laws Of the
United States have laid down certain
rules by which persons desiring to
unite in the bonds Of matrimony are
to follow, and when some crank, who
conceives the idea that he is ''it, I"
tries to break away from those
fixed principles, then he or she is
but, as said above, looking for cheap
notoriety, with no other idea than
believing that such will bring his
ism followers and worshipers. The
Republican does not intend to take
Issues with the agnostic and his
wholesale absurdities, but it does
think that the agnostics should have
sense enough to conform to the laws
and regulations of this country as
accepted by great majority of the
men and women living, herein, and
not bid for the cheap amount Of pub
licity, such as characterized the eff
forts Of that agnostic couple in Gin
cinnati few days ago.

SEATTLE GAS & ELECTRIC co.

On and after July 1st this Com
pany will reduce the price of gas to
$1.6O per thousand, and no distinc-
ton will be made in the use of gas
for fuel and Illuminating purposes.
The rate will be $3.50 per thou
sand, with a discount of zoe per
thousand on all bills paid on or be-
fore the tenth day of the next sue
ceeding month for which the bills
are rendered.
Bills are due on the first day of
each month, and failure to receive
bill will not entitle customer to re-
bate, unless bill is actually paid on
or before the 10th inst. Bills paid
by check, through the mails, must
be in this Office on the 10th inst.
The discount of zoe per thousand
is offered to consumers in considera-
ton of their paying their bills at
the office as soon as due, thus saving
the expense of sending out collec-
tors.
Parties desiring to avoid the an
noyance Of looking after their bills
can have a prepayment meter put
in, and pay for their gas as used, at
the rate of $1.6O per thousand.
The minimum charge will be 25c
per meter per month on plain meters
and soc per meter per month on
prepaid meters.
Under the above rate consumers
will hereafter be saved the expense
Of running separate piping for fuel.
Where gas is now supplied
through both light and fuel meters,
piping will be rearranged, without
expense to consumer, to furnish the
entire supply through one meter.
Above rate and discount does not
apply to June consumption.

NO THIRD TERM.

President Mckinley sets at rest
the third term talk in the following
communication:
Il regret that the suggestion Of ii
third term has been made. l doubt
whether l am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now questions
Of the gravest Importance before the
administration Of this country, and
their just consideration should not
be prejudiced in the public mind by
even the suspicion Of the thought Of
a third term. In view, therefore, Of
the reiteration of the suggestion Of
it, l will say now, once for all, ex-
pressing a long settled conviction,
that l not only am not and will not
be candidate for a third term, but
would not accept a nomination for it
if it were rendered me.
"My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the ac-
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence I SO deeply ap-
preciate, and then to resume my
duty in the ranks of private citizen
ship.

Of his daily existence, to be as COM
mon to him as the water in the can
teen on the other side, and in many
instances the whiskey canteen
proved even more preferable than
the water canteen The dispensing
Of the army canteen was not done
with the idea Of making temperance
moralists out Of the soldiers, but it
was done with the idea Of disabusing
their minds Of the belief that they
could not live without jug of whis-
key at their sides. Regardless of the
fact that the soldiers do 90 to sa-
looms and participate in drunken
broils, it would be step backward
to restore the canteen to the soldier
as a part and parcel Of his daily ex-
istence as well as subsistence.

ACTOR HERNE,s DEATH.

The world recently lost one of its
most noted actors and playwrights
in the person of James A. Herne,
who few days ago died at his home
in New York city after a brief i'll
ness. Perhaps Mr.. Herne did not ac-
quire the stage prominence that some
of the American actors did, but in
his own peculiar way he was a most
brilliant star on the stage. His last
and perhaps most effective play was
Sag Harbor, which was OF hls own
composition, and in which he him
self did the star act, and it has been
pronounced by the leading theater-
goers Of the world as a most clever
production. 1t was while he was
taking an active part in this play in
Chicago, Ill, that he took seriously
sick, from which he never rallied.

STOOD OFF A MOB.

1t is rather remarkable that four
men could so successfully defy mob
OF as many hundred men as did the
sheriff ana his three deputies at Car
rollton, Ga., few days ago. 1t
would seem that a moo so large as
that one would have been made up
OF men with the determination OF
meeting any kind Of obstruction that
would be thrown in the way of its
onward march, and would have been
ready to have met death itself rather
than turn from its purpose, but here
we find four men successfully defying
as many hundred men, and after one
of their number had fallen, pierced
by the defenders bullet, the others
took to flight, and, leaving their dead
and dying behind, they fed wild
with fright lest the sheriff and his
three deputies capture the entire 400
OF them and perhaps lynch them.
The Republican has always main
tanned that the men who make up
lynching parties in the South are
men noted for cowardice, men noted
for being guilty Of shooting an enc
my from ambush and men noted for
making no effort to defend them
selves unless they be backed by a
hundred or more just such towards
as themselves. When 400 men will
go to Jail where one man is con-
fined in cell and is as helpless in
their hands as an innocent babe, and
will murder such man without CIV
ing him any show or opportunity
for his life, then such men are guilty
of the most damnable form of cow
ardice and are unworthy to be pro-
nounced American citizens.

THE EDUCATIONAL FUND.

Speaking about dividing the .edu-
cational funds of the Southern
states between the races in proper
ton TO the taxes that each pays, it
might be of interest to the average
reader, and especially the average
reader of the North, to learn few
facts about the taxes directly paid
into the treasury by the cOlored folk
of the state Of Florida. From the
superintendent report it is learned
that the colored folk Of Florida an
nually contribute $23,984 for edu-
cational purposes, and it costs the
state but $19,454 for the education
Of the colored children, which leaves
balance between the amount paid
in and the amount drawn out by the
colored folk of $4,627, and this
amount goes to the education of the
white children of that state. If i'll
the state of Florida the taxes paid i'll
for educational purposes were divid-
ed in proportion to the taxes each of
the races paid for educational pur-
poses, the shoe would be on the
wrong foot from what it is in many
of the states Of the South. How
ever, the agitation of this matter is a
roaring farce and the attempt of any
state to put it into execution will be
cutting off its own nose, education
ally speaking, to spite its face.

grated thereto within the past ten
years. The city of New York and
many of the other Northern cities
have received like proportion Of
colored emigrants from the south,
while the West in general has not
been overlooked. In other words,
while the South may still be the
''black belt" so far as the Negro is
concerned, nevertheless he is rapidly
scattering out to other localities and
communities in the United States
and adapting himself to the sur
roundings and environments that he
finds in those communities where he
has taken refuge. If there is any
solution Of the race question this
emigration solution promises to be
the most effective one. In order to
prevent race riots, disfranchisement
acts and other forms of mob violence
the Negro must scatter out and not
be collected in overwhelming num-
bers in any one community or state
of this Union.

NO DISFRANCHISEMENT.

Congressman Livingston of GeOr-
gia is me first Southern white man
70 strike the keynote on the dis
reimbursement OF the cOlOred voters
IN the South In a recent inter-
view he is credited with having said:
'Ihe states OF Louisiana, Mississippi,
North and South Carolina will YET
regret they have passed dlsfranchlse-
nlent acts aimed and directed at col
Ored men only. Sooner or later con-
greSS will look into this matter and
VIII cut down the number Of repre-
sentatlves from those states in pro-
portion to the number OF votes that
are actually cast by them, and then
the devil will be- 10 pay. For such
will reopen the issues of the civil
war ana thus widen the political
chasm between the North and the
South which has existed since the
tlrst agitation OF the slavery ques-
ton. 30 Tar as the coIored voters
are concerned in the state of Geor-
gla, we have no great amount Of
trouble with them, and we manage
to carry our election just the same
af is they were dlsfranchised. The
white people of Georgia are most de-
cldedly opposed to disfranchislng
the black people of the state, and
any move made in that direction will
not be countenanced or tolerated"

GRANT AND AGUINALDO.

GRANT AND AGO1NA AA1DOs
Gen. Fred Grant does not think
much of the ability OF Agulnaldo,
the noted Filipino rebel. lie is OF
the opinion that Agulnaldo's capture
did not mean very much after all,
for long prior to his capture he had
lost his influence with the natives
and was practically "a king without
country" Ii Aguinaloo is not
made hero Of by the American peO-
pie when he VlsIUs the United States
lie Will not be made hero OF by the
tlllplnOS when he returns to Manila;
but If the man IS ldollZed and given
to understand that he is a second
George Washington by the citizens
OF this country, then there Is danger
OF hlm regalnlng what he had long
since losI-some slight influence
among the tlllplnos. Agulnaldo is
nuisance, ana Is so considered by
the natives, and the least amount OF
prominence that he Is gwen by the
citizens OF this country Will prove
the most valuable for ali concerned.
The Republican does not care to take
issues with Gen. Grant, because ne
doubtless speaks from personal OBJ
servatlon and experience, while 1t
would be compelled ito speak only
from speculative observation, but 1t
Is OF the opinion that Agulnaldo is
a dangerous character, and that if
turned loose on the islands again, on
the preteXt that he has no influence
with the natives, he wall give Uncle
Sam equally as muctp trouble as he
has already done, If not more. Any
man that could successfully rally a
sufficient number Of soldiers to defy
the Spanish authorities for years and
to keep the armies Of the United
States IN not water for two long
years, and only captured by the
treachery of some of his own men, is
dangerous man and one whose m
generation will prove more advan-
tageous to the country than his be-
ing turned loose to run at large.
Aguinaldo is a man that Uncle Sam
would do well to tie to, if for no
other purpose than to always be able
to know just exactly where he is.

AN OPEN CONFESSION.

The above open confession from
one OF georgia ) leading and fore
most citizens but VerltleS the posi-
ton winch The Republican has
taken from time to time on the ques-
tl0n OF the dIsfranchlsement OIL the
cOlored voters OF the various South
ern states. 1t is a willtuI waste on
the part OF any Southern state to ex-
penu Its money tor the holding of
constitutional convention thai the
constitution OF such state may be
amended SO as to dlSfranchlse a GER
tam class of people tnat have already
been so completely dlstranchlSed
that a tenth OIL their number never
pay any more attention to election
uay or Of those who are to be elected
to MI the various offices Of the coun-
ty and state than If they were not
citizens OF the community III which
they 1--we. The Negro as d voter has
been practically dlsIranchISed IN eY-
cry state III the South since the final
hepubncan overthrow in 1876. Here
anu there 1t Is quite true that they
nave, spaSmodlcaIly as well as spor-
atlcally, elected some one of their
number to some insignificant office,
but this has been the exception and
by no means the rule. Such a con-
tessIon coming from one OF the mem
Ders OF congress from Georgia is a
splendid document on which the Re
publlcans in the North can base the
commencement of an action in the
house OF representatives to lessen the
number OF representative from the
South. Every member of congress
from the North who is possessed of
pound of patriotism should paste
this Interview in his hat, and when
congress assemblies again read it and
read 1t again and vote for the num-
Der OF representatives from Loulsi-
ana, Mississippi, North and South
Carolina to be cut down in proper
ton to the actual number of votes
those states have from time to time
cast, which on an average would give
about three members of congress
from each Of them. Those states
have no more right to have double
and treble the power in congress
than the other states Of this Union.
and they should be given to under
stand that Immediately, if not
sooner.

many more persons made independ-
ent from having struck oil than have
already been made Independent, and
while it may be possible for syndi-
Gates to prevent oil from being ship
ped over the various railroads so as
to cheaper it in the more popular
districts of this country for general
utility purposes, nevertheless it will
be cheapened in so many places that
it is here predicted that the time is
near at hand when not only the

coal trust, will be broken in twain;
yea, not only broken in twain, but
broken in atoms, on account of in

IT'S AN OIL AGE.

Some time ago The Republican
sagely announced that this was an
''oil age" while at the time the fact
hardly warranted the allegation,
nevertheless subsequent develop
ments have proven that the United
States is just about entering an oil
era. The discovery Of gold in many
sections Of the United States sud
denly made millionaires out of poor
men. The same has been true of coal
and other minerals that have been
discovered from time to time in the
United States. Now in every state
Of the Union there is more or less
prospecting for oil, and, strange to
say, that in most every state where
prospectors are pushing their works
to completion they are being tended
with more or less success. Million
aires on account of having struck oil
are common now in a great many
states of this Union, and unless the
writer is greatly mistaken the half
along this line has not as yet been
told. Oil will be struck in a good
many more places than it already has
been struck, and there will be good

THAT ARMY CANTEEN.

Much discussion is going the
rounds OF the press at present over
the restoration OF the army canteen.
Owing to the fact that the soldiers
in many instances have been found
drunk in large numbers in the neigh
boring saloons near their respective
posts, it is argued that such is the
direct outcome of dropping the army
canteen. This, perhaps, may be true,
but even before the canteen was dis
carded in the army soldiers stationed
at the various posts were given to
visiting the neighboring saloons, get
ting drunk, raising old Nick and be-
ing guilty of all kinds of deviltry
contrary to the laws and the dignity
of soldier, and it is more than like
ly that the persons living near those
posts see no difference in the ac-
tlons of the men since the canteen
has been discarded than they did be.
before it was. A United States SOL
dier is nothing more nor less than an
average American citizen in blue
uniform, and great many of them
in private life INDUCED in intoxicant
liquors to an excess, and they con-
tinue to do so even though they are
United States soldiers. The fact of
him becoming soldier does not
make him morally any better along
this line than he was as private citi-
zen. The greatest evil about the
army 'canJeen seems to have been
that it educated the soldier into the
belief that waiskey had to be part

LEAVING THE LAND.

1t is learned that the colored folk
OF Georgia and the Atlantic coast
states are emigrating very rapidly
from that section and seeking homes
IN other sections Of the United
States, and more especially in the
Mississippi delta, where cotton rais-
ing is more extensively carried on.
1t Is barely possible that the delta is
getting more of the colored emf
grants than any of the other Sec
tlonS, but some of the Northern
states are likewise getting a heavy
percentage of them. As has been
previously said in these columns, the
city OF Chicago alone has a popula-
ton of 100000 Southern colored
people, the most of whom have emil
