"a LITTLE STARTLING."
This Negro Blshop's Viows OF tho Negro
OuGatlon

Tho remarks recently made by
Bishop G. S. Smith of tho African
Nj. f.. church, as reported in the
Chicago Record, are likely to shock
many persons in tho North who are
seeking to solve tho Southern race
problem Bishop Smith is ono of
leaders of his race, Il Cannadian by
birth, but has lived in the South for
thirty years. A man Of intelligence,
he has made thorough study Of the
raco question, and what he says must
bo taken very seriously. In the in
terviow relorrcd to ho says: "Here
in tho South whore I have spent
tho last thirty yoars of my life, I
find that tho Northern man is
greater elcment Of discord than the
Southern man can possibly be, and
this particularly true whore North
ern people have como South and set
tlod in any great number in one
place. They arc Il strong clement
OF dlscord and arc greater negro
hators, in most cases, than any south
orncr. [ do not mean to infer that
think the southern people are as q
rulo negro-haters, for know they
are not" This is note in the con-
troversy that is entirely now. We
are accustomed to boing told that
Northern interference is making the
race question moro difficult to settle;
also that the negro rs q race is better
treated in tho South, whore the whites
aro moro in sympathy with him and
understand him better, than he is in
tho North, where the greatest profess
sions Of friendship aro made. But
to havo q negro, who is bishop,
bring such u serious accusation
against northerners as Bishop Smith
does is little startling.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

Columbia, February 13.-Special
The work Of the General Assembly
is fast coming to close. Today the
House adopted a resolution fixing
Saturday as the day for adjournment
The general appropriation bill has
been practically agreed upon between
the two houses and the small diff
ferences amount to practically
nothing. This is, perhaps, the best
record general appropriation bill
has had in decade.
The State will, under the acts
passed to-day, have State geologist
and board on entomology.
GENERAL APPROXIMATION BILL
came over from the Senate with
amendments.
The House refused to concur in
the Senate amendments raising the
salary Of the assistant Superintendent
of Education to 81, 1850 and this will
have to go to conference. The salary
is now 5000.
The next amendment was to raise
the salary of the State reporter to
1900 and reduce the salary by
cutting off all fees and perquisites.
The reports which he issues will be
reduced from 81 to 1926 per vol
ume.
Mr.. Prince and Mr.. Croft ex-
planned the reduction in the price of
the reports. The State buys one
hundred volumes and will save the
difference between 81 and 1926 per
volume, but it was argued that the
work was worth at least $1,000.
Mr.. Coggeshall thought it best to
wait until the bill on the subject be
acted upon. The House fixed the
salary in the bill at ST, 200.
The House agreed to strike out
the subsection and made the direct
appropriation to the South Carolina
College $28,107.
100000 FOR SCHOOLS CUT OUT.
The senate cut out the 100000
for the free public schools. The
Mr.. Hardin said: 81 hope the
House will agree"
Mr.. Stevenson said: GAIL in favor
of the amendment will say "Aye"
and all opposed "No." The viva
voce vote was taken and the "ayes'
had it, and in less than minute the
House agreed to the Senate amend
ment, cutting out the 100000 for
public schools. It was done so
quickly that scarcely anyone realized
that the House had 50 gracefully
receded from it's position as to the
100000 for the public schools.
THIRD READING BILLS SENT TO SENATE.
All third reading bill were then
taken up and ordered sent to the
Senate. The third reading bills
we're:
10 limit the number of acres land
which any alien, or any corporation
controlled by aliens, may own within

have been made by the present assassin,
the free speech Of these people Is poisonous
Czologosz. 1t is reported, declares that he
was inspired by the lectures and writings
Of Emma Goldman, the American Louise
Michel, who prompted Bergman to attempt
to kill Henry Frick, after the Homestead
strike. This woman Is more dangerous
even than the men who execute her sug-
gestions.
If the laws today viii not permit OF a
mere stringent treatment of the reds, they
should be amended. to give the government
greater latitude. There Is little danger OF
popular apprehension lest the powers OF
government may be too greatly enlarged.
There Is not one intelligent citizen today
out Of a thousand who does not realize the
danger which is continually being run by
society in granting such liberty to the agi-
tators who preach death to the rulers. OF
the two menaces that Of too much author
fly for the sake of security and that OF too
much liberty for the plotters. the commu-
nifty will not hesitate to choose the former.
This crime should. therefore. teach its
lesson without delay. Whatever may be
the result Of the Presidents wounds, there
should be at least a greater rigidity OF sur
veillance over the known and the suspected
agitators. The journals that proclaim the
doctrines of blood and fire should be sup
pressed as hostile to all organized society.
The leaders of the criminal cult should be
swept into the nets Of justice as breeders
of disorder and murder.

Rewards for Evidence.

One thousand dollars have been offered
by the New York Tribune as a reward to
any man who will present sufficient evil
dence to enable the district attorney for
New York city to secure indictments
against those municipal officers who are re-
sponsible for the attitude of the police de-
partment toward illegal resorts and to-
ward persons who ply nefarious vocations.
This is a practical step toward municipal
publication. 1t may be offensive from an
academic view to pay a reward, or in
other words to bribe men to furnish evi-
dence against malefactors,, but the argu-
ment is stronger that the end in such cases
justifies the means. The Tribune offers men
money to furnish testimony upon which a
grand jury may find indictments. 1t is
the weapon which the gentlemen of vice
use. 1t is the only weapon they have. 1t
is the one weapon which they fear. 1t Is
the weapon which will be used.
The Tribune says what everybody under
stands, that blackmail and corruption per-
meate the New York police department
and that the sources of the corruption are
high in authority. 1t is to reach these per-
sons that the reward Is offered.

Secretary Wilson may yet be induced

Secretary Wilson may yet be induced to
direct his industry and genius for detail to
that hitherto neglected fruit the persim-
mon, which according to that more or less
reliable herald. the Katydid, will soon be
ripe. 1t is one of the most benign and at
the same time one Of the most treacherous
of fruits 1t has already been suggested
that the Secretary do something to elimi-
nate the pucker from the persimmon, and
the time for decision as to what expert
ments, If any, shall be made Is at hand.
The persimmon may develop mine of un-
suspected national wealth. There Is at
present on the market nothing in the way
Of persimmon preserves or persimmon mar
malade. Factories for the production Of
these dainties may give employments to
hundreds of thousands, and bring luxury to
countless homes here and abroad. Colonel
Sellers eye-water scheme was bagatelle
In comparison.

The Tragedy at Buffalo.

Sincerer horror and sorrow never were
produced than by the tragedy at Buffalo
yesterday That the President of the
plenty and on an occasion when a multi
tude of his countrymen had gathered to
listen to his words of felictation and good
cheer, should have been murderously as
saulted almost passes belief. And entering
into the equation, too. is the gracious and
captivating personality of the man, which
emphasizes the thought of the utter cause
lessness of the deed
Three Presidents of this free republic
have now been the objects Of the assassin's
assault, all of them warm-hearted, kindly
men, who would seemingly be the last to
arouse a murderous resentment In the
first two cases underlying causes acting on
the weak brains of possible assassins might
be traced. A fierce civil war directed the
bullet which struck down Lincoln; a bitter
partisan factional struggle aroused the
murderous instinct which caused the death
of Garfield But William Mckinley is
hated of no man, either In his political
party or out Of 1t. Affectionate regard for
him personally is not confined to his house
hold, with its ideal domestic relations, nor
to his state, nor to his party, nor even to
the great republic itself.
An expression Of a sense of gratitude Is
heard that the assassin Is not an Ameri-
can. This is natural. 1t is comforting to
think that this blow at our institutions as
well as at their chief official representative
was not aimed by one born and reared in
this country. But let us not charge him to
any country. He represents none. That is
his infamy and his isolation. He is the
product of no teachings which find sane
ton under any flag of civilization. He is
outlawed wherever men hold sacred the ties
of family, the necessities of order and the
everyday duties and obligations Of human
ity. He is as much the enemy of the land
that bore him as of the land that Of late
has sheltered him. He is unfit to live any
where. 1t is a strain upon the language to
call him human being so devoid is he Of
the attributes that are called up by that
description.
Around the Presidents couch are gath
cred and will remain the sympathies Of all
the world. But particularly dear to him
will be the assurance that in America every
heart Is beating with a hope for his re-
covery. He enjoys to an unusual degree
not only the public confidence but the pub
lie affection. The people both love and
trust him. And his Is a temperament upon
which this assurance will have the best
possible effect. He has Iabored to produce
the result, and he cannot but profit by it
at this of all times. 1t will assist his
splendid physique and his unshaken cour-
age in the battle before him.
The country will salute, even in this
anxious hour. the manly self-possession
with which the President met the shock Of
the attack He bore himself as all agree,
with a fine dignity and composure. and
was able to give. instead Of standing in
need of. comfort and direction. He was
man and President even at the pistols
mouth, as easily as ever he has been when
surrounded by those who would die for
him.

senfrnl ana south american Trade.
After remarking that Great Britain Is
both North American and a South Amer
lean power, and that Holland and France
are South American powers. the London
Standard says:
Europe will never march out of Amer
lea, North or South at the bidding of the
supporters of the Monroe doctrine Pam
Americanism in it's widest sense is an idle
dream, but the aim Of the United States
to be the predominant political and COM
mercial power Is decided by the economic
need of finding an outlet for her ever in
creasing surplus products. The necessity
Will press more heavily upon her as the
years pass"
Nobody in the United States is asking
Europe to march OUT of South America.
The power she possesses there is priuci-
pally commercial, and 1t has been estab-
lished largely as the result of our neglect
Of a plain opportunity. We should have
cultivated those markets ourselves. They
are properly ours. and had We made play
for them. as we were urged years ago TO
do, We should now be enjoying much OF
what Europe Is enjoying. Europe i'm
proved her chances with good results and
her enterprise Is praiseworthy.
But the United States is at last al oused
and Is preparing to enter the field or a
larger scale and in a friendly spirit as a
competitor for business This Is our
blessed privilege, and Europe cannot ju silly
complain. II she marches out at ali 1t
will be because Of our superior bids for
business there. If we can sell to those
countries at lower prices than she can, and
deliver better articles of manufacture, she
will not care TO remain II, on the other
hand. having preceded us there and estab-
lished her trade. she is able to hold it and
even increase it as against our competi-
tion, then she will continue of course to
enjoy her advantages. That is the law OF
business, and there Is no contention Ia

this country that the Monroe doctrine runs

this country that the Monroe doctrine runs
as against trade.
The Standard says that Pan-American-
ism is a dream. But Is It? We are now
underselling Europe In many lines within
Europe's own territorial borders. We are
obliged to cross the Atlantic to do this,
and to patronize European bottoms In the
matter of carrying facilities. In the cir
cumstances, the achievement is extraordi-
nary. 1t marks our wonderful growth
within very few years, and we have only
just begun to grow. AS the phrase Is, we
haye found ourselves, and we shall go for
ward even more rapidly now. What there
fore is to keep us out of Central and South
America in the larger form in which we
shall present ourselves? Why when we
rehabilitate our own merchant marine and
are Independent on the seas once more
should we not be able to do as against
Europe on this side of the Atlantic what
we are now doing right under Europe's
nose on her own side?
A dream? Maybe. But dreams some
times come true

How Washington Received the New

A city stunned by tragic news, its people
grieyed as by immediate personal loss,
its gravest fears aroused on the instant by
bulletin which told Of a tragedy of un-
known extent. Thus Washington yesterday
afternoon. Never before has the capital
been quite so situated. 1t has passed
through shocks of even graver moment
than the attempt upon the life Of President
Mckinley. 1t has felt the stress Of
war. 1t has witnessed the assassina-
tion of a beloved President just at the close
of his mighty labors. 1t passed through
another trying period of anxiety when a
second executive was stricken down, to die
weeks later. But both of these crimes
were committed within it's doors and it was
quickly possessed of information and it felt
in thorough touch with the situation.
Yesterday the tragedy was performed at
distance and until the truth was revealed
the widest possibilities were born in the
public mind Fortunately, The Star was
in position to relieve the anxiety of the
community before it slept. The first of its
five extra editions spread the news that
the President had been shot From that
time until midnight its agencies were ex-
erted to keep the public fully informed Of
the latest details Of the case, and, in con-
sequence, 1t Is to be doubted whether the
smallest fraction of the population of the
District went to rest without understand
ing the actual conditions so far as they had
developed and without the relief of the well
ccme knowledge that the Presidents 8
wounds were not necessarily fatal.
No more impressive sight was ever wit
messed than the thousands waiting in Penn
sylvania avenue in front of the bulletin
boards and newspaper offices for the It'd
ings from the bedside of the stricken Presi-
dent. Silent and sad they stood for hours.
until with the last kilograms of the night
they were assured that there was no imme-
date likelihood of death and they moved
homeward. The people Of the capital had
expressed their anxiety and their sorrow
in the most eloquent manner possible.

The kow-tow in apology to the kaiser
has been the subject of much diplomatic
consideration, and 1t Is probable that the
Chinese made some sacrifices in order to
finally avoid It. China may lose its ner-
camille standing and be repeatedly de-
feated in battle, but its family pride cannot
be extinguished. 1t would be interesting
to know the details of the transaction. II
it was arranged to omit the ceremony fol-
a direct consideration it would be we'll Ia
