but concentrated all his forces in an ; si. appointed Baker despite Fairbanks pro, tests, and the result cen only pc iookso upon as an overwhelming rout TOT the Senator from Indiana. ..
 All of which is taken to mean tnae President Roosevelt Is determined to smash what was known as the Mchln- ley machine .
 Fairbanks has been a conspicuous leader of that organization. Ha was temporary chairman of the original MIG, Kiniey convention at St Lotus anu chairman of the committee on resolu- tions at Philadelphia. He was recog- nized as one of President Mckinley most intimate advisers.
 Fairbanks at first indorsed Juose Monks but when he found that the pres ident would not appoint Monks he took up another candidate. Finally ne an- nJunced his readiness to indorse any Republican other than Judge Baker. Beveridgo's candidate, who might bs considered by President Roosevelt wor' thy of so important an appointment
 Judge Bakers appointment is crush. ing blow to Fai, bank:'s prestige, ana the effect of it, according to Indiana politicians will be to create schtsm In the Indiana Republican organization which will not be closed for long time to come Another effect of the appoint ment is to place Judge Baker in posi- ton where he will have to review the Judicial decisions of his father. who is fudge of the Federal District Court for fine northern district of Indiana

 :. The Southern slaves, and especially the Virginia slaves, were taught by master and mistress; were taught to be obe- dIent, to be faithful, to be industrious, to be polite, to be moral to be true.
 These lessons were far more important, as suhseouent events have shown, than book learning. But instructors in the family were not merely master and mis- tress The elder servants, who were trained in the household, themselves be- came teachers of the young under the guidance of the "dei fnajores," and they were worthy instructors in morals and manners The negro men and women who were reared in the refined families of the South were themselves men and women of faultless manners, ana when you found an old-time Virginia butler you found an old-time Virginia gentle man, so far, at least, as his outward department went. It Is not too much to say that the old mammies of the house. hold were instructors of the white chill dren. also-and never failed to correct them when they were guilty of disobe- dience or a breach of manners. Some time ago a newspaper man of the city of Birmingham met an old black nanny on the street and showed her some pollte attention. The old woman was quick to recognize the Southern gentleman, ana asked the man 1T he hau not peen rdseo by "nigger nanny" The man proud ly confessed the fact. Bless yo heart, honey" exclaimed the old woman, you aint forgot your raising"
 But all that is past and gone. The me- groes of the South have in large meas urse, been deprived of their white instruc- tors and are thrown upon their own re- sources. The negro children of the day receive their instruction from negro par ents who have not had the advantage Of the instruction which the slaves had, and 1t is a sad fact, but none the less fact, that the negro children of today are lacking in the spirit of obedience, lacking in the polite manners and good behavior that the negro children of ante-hellum days had. It is this sort of education that the negro needs, and we know Of no way of giving 1t to him except through the public schools. We do believe, how ever. that liberal appropriations should be made by the white taxpayers of the State for that purpose and that such in- structors should be provided as will pay special attention to the manners and mor- als of the negro children. This is the marrow of the question. That is the ed- ucation which the negro needs. and 1t Is the education that God Almighty expects us to give him.

SENATOR MORGAN
Is the Grand Old Man of the
 Isthmian Canal.

Sa10As
 Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Senator Morgan. chairman of the Sem ate Committee on Interoceanic Canals, submitted his report on Thursday. In 1t he discussed and disposed of the preten- sions of the Panama Canal Company. He fitly characterized M. Hutin's letter to the Secretary of State as "a continuation of a presumptuous and offensive propo- sition."
 No one can speak with more intorma- ton of authority on this question than Senator Morgan. Upon entering the senI ate. in 1877, he at once swore feaity 10 the Nicaragua canal policy enunciated by President Grant. He was a member or the Foreign Relations Committee with Edmunds, sherman and Pendleton in lSS2; was on the same committee with sher- man, Edmunds, Frye and Evarts In loss' was chairman of the committee in 1885, and made all the reports from that com mittee on the iSthmian canal.
 When the committee on the construc- tion of the Nicaragua canal was created, in 1885 Mir Morgan was made chairman, and he was continued as chairman of the Committee on Interoceanic Canals. He made the report in favor of the guaran- ty bill of 1892 and 1894. and since that time has intrduced ali the bills and made all the reports recommending the construction of the great waterway.
 Mr. Morgan entered the Senate as a Democrat, and has been Democrat of Democrats ever since, but for twenty-five years he has been the leader of the canal party in the Senate without reference to party politics. He is more familiar with all the schemes that have been laid by obstructionists and by the agents of the Panama Canal Company than any other man in public life. Therefore his denun- citation of M Hutin and the interruptions methods employed by the agents of discredited corporation in their last move against an American enterprise must have a telling effect.
 Senator Morgan is the grand old man of the isthmian canal movement, and he has never appeared to better advantage than in this last exhaustive report, cov- ering every phase of canal construction. He has ben more intimately associated with the Nicaragua canal project from it's inception than any other man. and he has been more jealous and enthusias- tic in the work that is soon to be crown ed with success than any other Senator.
 This government certainly should recog nize Mir. Morgan's splendid service to this great cause. And 1t could do so in no more suitable way than by naming after him the American settlement at the Northern terminus of the proposed canal. Call it Morgan and honor thus the aged statesman to whom the honor Is, due.

Embarrassment in Ohio.

Cincinnati Enquirer.

So will Boss Cox of Cincinnati Governor Nash may be able to slide along between the lines. The candidates on the Repub- llcarr tickets for Congress will be re- tarded Tn their campai"n work by hay ing to stay on the fence so much of the time. Indeed, the situation may be er1- barra ssing even to General Grosvenor, who is the "cutest" Republican politician in the Ohio outfit. He Is generally among the first to disc arn and announce a new policy and can retreat from mistake with grace and expedition that make him a wonder.

at any particular time. He had been in- formed and had good reason to believe that the enemy was at Cienfuegos, and when he at length became positively sure that they were in Santiago Bay, he pro- oeeded there with such despatch as was possible, and the result is known.
 = Now let us suppose that, when Grants army was threatening Richmond, the Confederate War Department or the President had issued orders to General and destroy the enemy. If he had obeyed those orders and the result had been the destruction of his own army and the loss of Richmond, would he not have been blamed and execrated for it? If, on the other hand, he had departed from the plans laid down by the officials at Rich mond and had utterly destroyed the army of General Grant, could there have been board organized anywhere in the Con federacy which would have censured him for departing from the strict letter of his instructions, when the result was so glo- TlouS! NOI III ail Lne uIlltS oL the 0Outn- ern country could there have been found officers who would have dared to blame or criticise his action.
 As we view the matter, the cases are analogous in many respects. To the American fleet was intrusted the grave and responsible duty of locating and cap turing the Spanish fleet That is just what schley did. Itsis admitted that he did not in every particular carry out to the letter the orders and instructions of those in authority, and for that he is censured by those who were not present and are not qualified to pass judgment on the means by which fleet was destroyed almost wholly and almost entirely withs out loss to our navy.
 Schley's enemies get technical verdict. Sampson gets the prize money and schley gets the approval of the great American people. Who Is the gainer by the verdict?

Our little skit about boring for oil in Pensacola Bay seems to have jared The Journal of that city. especially that part which alluded to the prehistoric remains and smells-of that excellent harbor. It indicates that The Advertiser needs some lubricating oil and we wonder that it didn't recommend bears grease Instead of the kind they are going to bring up from the bay. It also says:
 The Advertiser would better devote its elastic talent to taking care of the Coosa River canal scheme We will take care or our oil wells and oil smells, for that matter. And, it may be added, we VIII also take care of the bdttleship Alabama when she comes to the only harbor on the Gulf coast which she can enter with safety. to receive that sil' CT service wmch the State after which she is named, Is so slowly, but, we hope, surely going to present to her.
 Who said anything about a "Coosa River canalT' We're going to have the river itself opened, and when you get your oil to flowing we'll be ready to send coal to match it and your fine harbor will be crowded with the shipping of all nations. Something bigger than even the Alabama will como to see you and your oil gushers-when you produce them

The Boston Herald remarks that the business of cutting down Southern repre- sentation is likely to be a long process, and it might well have added that the job may bring out some surprises. When certain meddlesome Northern Congress men are brought face to face with the fact that some of their own representa- tion can be cut off for the same causes which they urge in the case of some Southern States, they may sing a differ ent tune.

Even a Northern colored man can see anything when it sticks out far enough. The editor of The Freeman recently Iec- tured in Mobile, and, among other things. said:

I was informed about jim-crow cars in the South, and I thought it was horrid. but when trav- eled tn -ough parts of Louisiana and ob- served the conduct of some of our peo- pie. I felt like calling upon the conduc- tors to protect me from my own people.
 There's nothing like rubbing Northern men. white or black, against conditions as they exist down here to get them to zee and acknowledge the truth.

If the Democratic Party held the reins there would be no tarift schedule which could be modified" In other words, the Republicans can congratulate themselves on having placed on the country a tarifr system which they can now obtain credit by modifying.

The United States Senate, Dy uhahl- nous vote, has confirmed the President s nomination of Thos. G. Jones to be the Judge of the Middle and Northern Dis tricts of Alabama. While this Is nothshg more than was expected, still 1t Is grati- flying to his friends to know that the universal approval of his selection had it's effect on those who were the final arbiters in the case. His fitness for the high position is well recognized by law yers, not only in Alabama, but through out the country. for he has a well es- tabllshed reputation for thorough knowl- edge of the law. As he is fair minded man, the scales of justice will be evenly held, and no wrong be done either to in- dividual or government so far as 1t Is in his power to prevent. It Is matter of congratulation to have such man on the Federal bench in Alabama.
