GOOD AND BAD ARGUMENT.

Recently The Portland Oregonian had an editorial on the lace question, in the course of which it said:
 The reason why the North does not rise up te put the negro in power over the Southern white is simply that 1t realizes It length that the negro Is not lit to gov ern. His unftness is not physical. but mental. His incapacity dwells, not in the color of his skin or the habit of his hair, but in his intellectual status of ign ora nee and insufferable insolence. No people who are fit t0 rule are going to endure 10 be governed by those who are unhL to rule. Negro domination in the South Is an unbearable ignominy. The negro s a good workman. when taught, an estimable citizen when properly governed, and q servant without superior when htly trained. But as superior ofic9r over Americans he is most conspicuous mls- it and unmitigated nuisance.
 The first part of that quotation is not up to The Oregonian's usual standard, which is really one of the ablest edited newspapers on our exchange list. It ould puzzle that paper to tell its readers just how the Northern people would go about the jo5 of putting the Southern negroes over the whites. The latter would have somewhat to say on that subject, ana NoulQ say II III d way that would be most effectual. The Oregonian should remember that the experiment was tried once. and while it was partially successful, it was a very brief success. That was when the Federal government was practically su- preme and when the South. bound and helpless. was bereft of all means of successful resistance. An attempt on the part of the North to put the negro in power again would be met in a way that would open the eyes of those who tried it.
 The rest of the quotation shows that The Oregonian has fair conception Of the colored man and of the conditions in the South. Then 1t administers this warm rebuke to those Northerners who are forever prating about Southern af- fairs:
 Not a mothers son of these hysterical Northern editors would consent, if he was

A RIDIcULoUs SPECTACLE.

It is a great pity that The Penss cola Journal Is unable to see how utterly ridiculous it makes itself by its denun- citations of The Advertiser. as well as by its own course in politics. It prac- tically endorsed the Groot bolt in Ohio. but since that movement exhibited It's weakness. The Journal tries to wriggle out of it's premature bolt by claiming that 1t was speaking in anticipation of the next Presidential campaign. It was doing nothing of the kind, but 1t mat ters not what 1t referred to. Like some papers much nearer home, The Journal has been so long tangled in the meshes of populistic idiocies that its Democ- racy is only hazy memory. For such as 1t to criticise the Democracy of The Advertiser is about the most impudent performance that can be imagined, and if 1t hopes by abuse and misrepresenta- tion to injure this paper. it is as far out of the way as it is in its politics. The Advertiser has triumphed over too many strong opponents and has come out victorious from too many serious conflicts to feel the attacks of irrespon- sible pigmes armed with blow guns. even though their arrows are tipped with the venom drawn from their own unlimited stores. The Journal should soak its head.

DROPPED FROM THE LIST.
A Washington Dental School Comes
 Under the Ban.

Milwaukee, Aug. 5.-Notwithstanding that tre National Association of Den tai Faculties was enjcined from drop ping from membership the National University Dental Department. Wash ington, D. C., the National Association of Dental Examiners. a separate but CO., operative organization. at it's meet ing today took the initiative in drop ping the Washington body from its membership. Action was taken by the Committee ol Colleges through the chairman. pr. c. c. Chittenden of Mad ison. Wis. in the following report and recommendation, which was adopted
 After careful investigation and con sideration of the conditions existing at the preset time, and in order to bring our list of colleges into conformity with the rules and standards at present in force in this body, your committee rec ommend that there be added to our list of colleges recommended for rec ognition the following institutions. namely:

in business in Manila, to have Its govern ment turned over to the Tagai bandits and blackmailers. Not one of them would consent. if he lived in the South, to have a big, insolent buck 'nigger' dragging his wife and daughter Into court as wit nesses or rallating his :nsuferaol ole airs as toastmaster at the Mayors banquet.
 That is talking directly to the point, and makes up for the weakness shown in the first sentences quoted. Almost without exception when Northern peo- pie come to make their homes with us. and when they have been brought into personal contact with the colored eie- ment of our population. they become the most pronounced of all in their de- termination not to submit to anything approaching equality of the races. The undesira bility and practical impossibil- ity of race equality is lesson quickly learned by personal experience. and one which some Northern people refuse to learn in any other way. The Ore gonian seems to have learned it.

ALL THE CITIZENS CAN DO
 WHAT ONE DID.

The Advertisers attention has been called to the fact that in an editorial in Saturdays issue, it used express sions which conveyed the idea that the City Council procured the forfeit ure of the charter of the Capital City Water Company. This was not the case at all. MT. Gordon Macdonald on his own account prosecuted the suit brought to procure that forfeiture. He requested the Council at that time to join with him in the suit, but the Coun- cil refused. He litigated and Brought the suit to a successful conclusion.
 The main point The Advertiser was trying to make was that the old water works franchise was annulled by court process. It matters not essentially, whether the city or an individual did it.. That which was done by one citizen in the one case can certainly be done by all the citizens-the city as a whole, in the other. ground on which the Council can pro- ceed to demonstrate that the street railway franchises have been forfeited. If it was practicable in the water works situation. it should be easy in the street railway instance.
 It is to be expected that the Council will take hold of this matter vigorously, secure the best legal talent necessary, and push it along to as successful an end as MT. Macdonald alone reached in the water works case.

Senator Daniel a delegate to the Vir- Kinia Constitutional Convention, seems to be one of those who think they are under no obligation to hear advice. In a debate last week he declared: If we are here to be influenced by what any body would say about this or that, we will never accomplish anything" Ger tainly a man holding the important po- sition the Senator does should have a mind of his own. but if a delegate makes the mistake of thinking that all knowledge is centered in the men com posing the Convention. he may find himself brought up with a short turn. There are outsiders who are capable of advising, and they have right to be heard. Better not claim too much inie- pendence.

TIME FOR ACTION.

The distressing accident in this city yesterday in which most estimable young lady was suddenly killed by a street car. again emDhasizes the dan gers to which citizens are exposed ev- cry hour of the day by reason of the rattle trap, back-number cars in use.
 This occurrence falls just on the heels of another accident, in a block or two on the same street and line, in which a car demolished a heavy hose wagon of the Fire Department, killed one fire man and seriously injured two others.
 The facts in yesterdays occurrence make several conclusions clear and plain.
 In the first place, if there had been a properly constructed fender on the car, in place of the worthless pretense that Is rarely, if ever. used, the young lady would not have been killed. She would have been knocked over and caught in the basket. She might have been injured, but not seriously.
 In the second place. if the car had been of proper construction. with ef- ficient equipment in the shape Of brakes. she might have escaped with her life. She would not have been dragged a half block. This is clear from a statement made by Conductor Hanley. who says:
 was the conductor on the car when the accident happened. I saw the young wo- man when she was within three or four feet of the car. running towards the car as hard as she could run. She ran r1ght up to the car and before I knew what happened she was under the wheels. Mo torman Blake seemed to be appiying tne brake, but was having trouble With IL. and I rushed forward and reversed the current. the car soon stopping MT: j. S. Keyton, Street Cleaning Superinten- dent, was on the front platform when the accident occurred.
 The brake didn't work properly having trouble with it." With the right sort of a car. built in an up-to- date style, with first-class brakes. and the whole regularly inspected and re- paired as is done in other cities py first-class car lines for their own pro- lection, the brake would have worked promptly, ana tEeTe Wouio HoNS ~ no trouble with the current. The car' running as it was up hill. should nave been stopped instantly. The young lady would not have been killed at all. Ger tainly she would not have been dragged A half block, diminishing her chance or life every second.
 How long will the City Council of Montgomery permit the Street Car Company to run such death-traps up and down these hills?
 How long will the Council permit company that is making such reckless use of the franchises given it to con- tinue to hold them?
 Will the people of Montgomery re- main in apathy any longer in this mat ter? Win they not wake up to the hourly menace to the lives and limbs of their wives and children? Will they not demand action. effective ac- tion, at the hands of their representa- lives in the Council?

THE STRIKE AT TAMPA.
A Serious Outbreak is Feared-Gom-
 pers May Go.

t Atlanta. Ga, Aug. "A special to the Journal from Tampa, Fla. says
 The situation in the cigar makers strike remains critical. The positions of the unions and the manufacturers remains unchanged. but it is feared that the personal feeling of the public engendered against the strikers will cause an outbreak sooner or later.
 Boycotts were today placed on many business concerns because they were reported to be friendly to certain people who are said to oppose La Resistencia Union. Others who are friendly but do not engage in business were followed through the streets on their every ap- pearance by a tauntng and jeering crowd. In several instances collisions were narrowly averted. It was said at the headquarters of the international union today that Samuel GOmperS. President of the Federation of Labor will be here in a day or two.

RESTORE THE STREETS.
A Citizen Goes to Meat ofaStreet
 Railway Matters.
Montgomery, Ala. 4

Montgomery, Ala. Aug. ,. 1901. Editor The Advertiser.
 In all the current discussion touching the street railway situation in Mont gomery, there seems to be a general disposition. or tendency, to confoun l two entirely separate and distinct questions. viz: the improvement of the street railway service and the annull- ment of the franchise which was do- mated to the company which is sup posed to operate the system now in fiicted on the community.
 l want to suggest what the parla- mentarians call division of the Ques- tion." in order that the consideration of the subject may be relieved of d deal of confusion which will obtain un- less this is done. Respectfully sub init that the only question which should engage the attention of the city. just now. is the restoration. to the city of the streets now unlawfully held by the Montgomery Street Rail- way Company. This. and this alone, Is the proposition. After the people have been repossessed of their high ways 1t will be time enough to talk about the Service
 If the present holders of the franchise
 
 market for new franchise. which should be sold. or leased for term of years. no one would object. but. f1r the present. no thought should he -i!eA to any possible improvement of the strV- Ice. Patience has ceased to be virtue. so long have We waited. and the city should insist nn the absolute surrender of the streets in order that something like adequate facilities may be c3 ailed for those citizens whose business re- quire the use of street railways. The best legal talent in the city Is agreed that the franchise now held by the Montgomery Street Railway Company can be annuIled and this should be done. After this is accomplished the next que eston in orGer will be the proper disposition of the streets which are now befouled by the so-called street railways with which We have been af- Mcted for so many weary years.
 z Under the new conditions. which would exist after the streets are re- stored to the people, We would nave an opportunity of seeing wlAther franchises are so very cheap as they have been supposed to be, by some at least. Let us hope that the city au- thorities will be equal to the occasion.
 Very truly yours.

A RUPTURE IMMINENT.
France and Turkey May Sever Their .." Relations.

Paris. Aug. 5.-rhe Foreign office here refuses either to confirm or deny advices from Constantinople saying the French Ambassador therc. M. Constans. has handed over the question 0f the right of French company known as the Quays Company to en- joy rights claimed under a conven- tion to his government at the same time recommending his own recall and that the passports of the Turkish Am bassador at Paris, Salih Munir Bey, be delivered to him.
 The Temps says there is reason to believe the Foreign Office is consid- ering the recall of M. Constans and giving the Turkish Ambassador his passports. The Francois thinks that instead of breaking diplomatic relations with Turkey, the French Foreign Off, flee will suspend them by giving NJ Constans unlimited leave of absence An immediate decision is improbable as MT. Delcasse. the French Foreign Minister and other high foreign off, coals are absent on their holidays.

A LONG NAP.

The story Is going the rounds that Vermont geologist recently dug frog out of the ice in a cave and that he claims the animal was imprisoned about 2,000 years ago. Moreover, the account further states that when the frog was warmed. he came to life and was as spry as ever.
 Just how the geologist fixes the date when the frog went into winter quar- ters we have no means of knowing. Like almost all other scientists, geol- ogists often have a habit of taking things for granted, and we doubt if this one can come within marine league of the exact date of freezing. But however that may be, if that frog was and is of an observant nature, he will find this old earth of ours a very diff ferent institution from what it was when he went to sleep. It was about the time Julius Caesar was born, and there have been some noted changes on the earth since that day. He will even find different breeds of bugs from those on which he was wont to regale | himself. though he will doubtless catch them in the same old style. All in all it must be an interesting experience, even for a frog, to awake from a nap | which has lasted entirely through the Christian Era, and pass at one step, as 1t were, from what must have been primevai nature into the full glare of Twnetith Century civilization.
 We have often wondered what would be the feelings and impressions of a learned man. like Socrates, for ex- ample, if he could awake from his slumber of two dozen centuries and be l permitted to go over the earth and note the changes which have taken place in the natural and material world, as well as in the human and animal life inhabiting the earth. Even his great mind would be overwhelmed with the wonderful changes which have taken place. And to think that this great event happened to common, ev- ery-day frog!
