No Woman Need Apply.
Washington Post.


 It is the opinion of The Chicago Chronicle that 'No women need apply" may soon be written over every uni Versity gate. We hope the situation is not so bad as that, although The Chronicle presents some facts indi- eating that the trend of things is somewhat in that direction. One of those facts is the announcement made some months ago that the number of women students at Leland Stanford University would be limited. It was deemed advisable to check, to some ex- tent, a movement that threatened to reduce the masculine contingency to small minority. As the step was it may be assumed that 1t was not in- tended to indicate unfriendliness either to coeducation or to the cause of lib- eral education for her sex. Armour Institute, Chicago, has recently closed it's doors to women in order to give men greater facilities for technical training. And now, The Chronicle says, the Northwestern University, the great Methodist institution at Evanston, is taking steps to check the predominance of women students. Acting President Bonbright has suggested to the Board of Trustees that the enrolment of wo- men be limited. He urged that social distractions and their invasion on the serious purpose of school life are among the evils of the coeducational system.
 Those three sporadic cases, although unexpected and unpleasant, are not really alarming. Neither coeducation nor equality of educational facilities for both sexes can be set back or pre- vented from moving on. Revolutions do not operate in that way.

The Ohio Keynote.

"The OEio convention says The New York Evening Post, has sounded the keynote for the Democratic party in the Union.
 The South has long desired to get rid of silver as an issue in national politics. The Eastern wing of the par ty has been against silver all the time. If we look for Bryan contingent in the next National Convention we shall not find one, unless perhaps in the sil- mining States.
 "The Silver Republicans must now abandon their own organization and come back as individuals to their for mer party allegiance, or go out of poli- tics altogether Silver need not be reckoned with hereafter on the floor of Congress or in any national campaign. The country has much cause for re- joicing over this event.
 "The battle has been long and at times almost desperate, and the Demo- crats have not been the only ones at fault We could say something on that score, but we forbear. It is the part of statesmanship not to distribute blame after the winning of victory"

coRBIN $ TRIP TO PHILIPPINES
Greater Economy in the Army There
 is Desired.

Manila, July 17.-Adjutant General Corbin today explained to the corre- spondent of the Associated Press that the chief purposes of his visit to the Philippines were to get in better couch with the details of the situation, and further the desire of the administra- ton for greater economy in the army of the Philippines. General Corbin has been invited to accompany the mem bers of the Civil Commission on trip to the northern part of Luzon Island, but will probably decide to visit the southern islands of the archipelago in- stead.
 Investigation into the case of Captain Andrew S. Rowan. of the 18th In- fantry charged with burning a town on the Island of Rohol, failed to prove Captain Rowan had ordered the town to be burned. The responsibility for the destruction of the town has not yet been fixed.
 The organ of the Filipino insurgents In Madrid, Filipinas Antes-Europa, has printed an order from Aguinaldo, dated Palanan, in January, which directs the execution of all American prisoners.
 When questioned about the order to- day, Aguinaldo said to the correspond ent of the Associated Press that he had always been considerate to prisoners, end denied the authorship of the order in question. He claimed that many or- ders had been issued by military off, cers without his sanction.
 The American military authorities have documentary evidence, dated No. vember, 1S9S to the effect that the in- sr~gent leaders contemplated creating a Philippine monarchy and nobility. Aguinaldo, when questioned. declined to discuss the matter.

shattering of his hopes. should arouse all the savage in him. and cause him to be a more undesirable, citizen among his new associates than he was at home? To the bangs of disappointed hopes and the natural chagrin of a half-formed intelligence over. an un- welcome discovery is added desire for revenge on those whom he looks on as false friends, and all the brutal pas sions of his nature are aroused over what he looks on as a deceit practiced on him. 1t is all but the natural out come of the misunderstanding which carried the negro North.
 For all the crimes and excesses com mitted by the negroes who go North the people there are largely and pri- marily responsible.

NEGROES IN THE NORTH.

From recent issue of the Savannah News we get this:
 A dispatch in Philadelphia paper says that in one part of Clearfieid County, Pennsylvania, there Is practically a reign of teror. A number of negroes were re- They have committed robberies. murders and assaults. "Women and girls,o the dispatch says, Ego armed for self-protec- tion. and the whites declare that If any attempt is made by the blacks to molest a white woman there will be a lynching. The citizens are prepared to wreak sum mary vengeance upon the blacks, whom they distrust. Women do not venture from home unattended after nightfall, and pistol practice among the weaker sex has become a regular pastime."
 That is a deplorable condition of af- fairs every one will admit, but when we Say that 1t is not surprising we state what must be apparent to all who will study the relations of cause and effect. We have frequently noted expressions in some of our contempo- raries indicating surprise that negroes who go North should almost invariably conduct themselves worse than they did while in the South, and the fact seems to be inexplicable.
 To our way of thinking the lawless- ness so frequently shown by negroes who go from this section to the more Northern cities and States is a per- fectly natural effect following two causes. In the first place the better class of colored people who have some kind of settled avocations here, and something to keep them here are not the ones who wander off or are induced to wander in search of positions else- where. It is usually the idle and the vicious, who are deluded by the prom ises of labor agencies, or who have inn bibed the idea that ease and plenty await them in the North, who leave their homes here and go to the North ern and Western States in search of the promised land.
 Again, the negroes who read or hear have it continually dinned into them that their true friends are all in the North and their enemies in the South They are led to believe. from reading much that is said and printed in that section of the Union, that all that is necessary to secure good positions, good pay and little labor, and to live on terms of equality with the white folks, is to find homes beyond Mason and Dixon's line. That country looms up before them as a land of promise and ease and plenty, as well as land without social distinctions.
 Both these causes can only have dis astrous results. In either case the ne- gro goes among those people with a wrong conception of their feelings and attitude toward his races. Instead of being welcomed with open arms he is received with indifference Instead of being treated with brotherly friend attitude toward his race. Instead of finding all doors open to him he is thrust aside with ill-disguised repul- sion, and instead of leading a life of luxurious and plentiful indolence he finds himself looked on as an intruder who seeks to take bread out of the mouths of the home people. And, as the last straw, he learns that social equality is as far from him in the North as it was here.
 Is 1t to be wondered at that this rude awakening from his dreams. this

Dixie as a Summer Resort

Some of our Southern friends" notes The New York Tribune, ''are taunting us playfuly over the recent atrocities in temperature from which Northern cities and towns suffered such tor ments and are printing figures in their newspapers to show that Georgia, for instance, is on the whole a somewhat more comfortable State to live in while the sun is doing its worst than the typical Northern State of New York.
 ''The records seem to support their contention. Are we to upset the old traditions and seek refuge in Atlanta and Augusta while the hot waves sweep over the territory above the Potomac |? Is Dixie the most inviting of summer resorts after all?'

WHEN WILL THE TIME COMET

The people of Alabama will be pro- foundly grieved and shocked to read the votes of the Convention yesterday defeating the efforts made by q mil nority to kill the deplorable free-pass corruption.
 Much was said by members. in ex- plaining their positions, that the amend ments offered on that subject were not ''germane," whatever was meant by that. or were offered in the wrong place. Some who voted against all the amendments protested that at the proper time and place in the Constitu- tion they would vote right. An amazed people are wondering when that proper time and place will be reached.
 The people of this great State are disgusted beyond measure at the bare suggestion. which seems to be borne out by the votes. that the Convention believes it is not right or wise to pro- hibit public officers from bartering their powers and influence in return for corporate service.
 If the Convention gives It's approval to this scandal by refusing to prohibit the pass evil. 1t may we'll tremble for the fate of the Constitution. It will be very hard to inspire people with confidence in the work of men who up- hold such an evil so universally de- nounced by all, except those who profit by the base traffic in passes.
 The Advertiser hopes there is some explanation of the Conventions votes. will set that body right before the peo. ple.

THEY WILL LEARN BETTER.

Referring to a recent article in The Scottsboro Progressive Age condemn atory of Senator McLaurin and Col. Herbert, The Chattanooga Times has this to say:
 Now if The Progressive Age will just make a note of what Senator McLaurin and Colonel Herbert are saying today and a foot note of what 1t has had to say by way of abusing them therefor, and will carefully store these notes away un- til 1904 it will find just the kind and quail ity of asininity 1t has been guilty of. By that time all good and respectable Demo- McLaurin and Herbert are now advocat- ing.
 Really we have paid but little atten- tion of late to the position or theories of Senator McLaurin. but as to Col. Herbert we have no doubt as to the future. The few who are now denounc- ing him for what they call his treason, will yet find that they are on the wrong track and will come to his way of thinking. There was nothing in his address here which would justify the attacks which have been made on his honesty and his Democracy, and those who now f1atter themselves that criti- cism and denunciation of him Is a sure road to future popularity and success will have their eyes opened before an- other Presidential campaign opens. To abuse and villify those who refuse to endorse the acts of the Democracy during the past few years may look like good policy now, but there will come a time when those who are now censured will be looked up to as the only safe leaders of the party.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Don't you think the press has been too hard on Delegate Reynolds because he wanted to keep them from having passes? Has the press, with few ex- captions, ever chirped on the owner ship of officers by corporations who dish out passes to them? This is what makes the people lose faith in the press. Wasn't Reynolds about right? Passes have muzzled them.
