a SIMPLE SOLUTION.

Representative ". ". kitchin, ot
North Carolina, has introduced 4 Joint
resolution providing for the repeal Of
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution OF the United States. Com
msntinc on this the Richmond Times
says:
Here IS the simple solution OF the
negro problem in politics. We be-
lieve that the great ma jority OF the
white people of the United States are,
at heart. in favor Of Mr.. Kitchin's
resolution. and If they had the cour-
are to vote IS they think, dark
cloud which hangs over this country
would DO dissipated and the political
atmosphere would be much clearer.
We believe that the very best thing
that could happen to the black man
would 10 the repeal Of the Fifteenth
Amendment. An honest, straight
forward suffrage law would then be
enacted IN each Of the Southern States
and the black maa would be admitted
to the suffrage as he showed himself
10 be qualified to vote diligently.
Bat the Northern people haven't the
courage t. right the wrong that they

DON'T LET DEWEY ESCAPE,
New Y Ork journal.

New Ork Journal.
Now that the Schley Court of In
quirv has concluded its labors, let the
Navy Department perform duty
that has been too long neglected.
Let it convene a court martial to trv
George Dewey.
Admiral Dewey is notoriously guilty
of conduct that calls for stern repre-
hension.
He cut the cable at Manila so that
he could fight without the instructions
Of the Board of Literary Experts at
Washington.
He fought at such long range that
the Spanish guns were unable to reach
him. thus detracting materially from
the picturesquenes that is the prn-
cipal object Of naval battle.
He tried to in jure the enemv's ships
and spare his own.
He looped the loop, not only once.
but several times.
Finally, he committed the unpar-
donable fault of destroying a hostile
fleet without the loss Of single man
ia his own squadron.
The fight at Manila and at San
tiago occupy place together in naval
history. For clean cut decisiveness
each is unmatched except bv the
other. Are we to be satisfied with
condcmning the victor of one while
We allow the equally guilty victor of
the other TO 90 scot free?

NORTHERN INDUSTRIES MOVING
SOUTH.

While agricultural interests are
still paramount throughout the South,
the rise and development OF nearly
every branch Of manufacturing indus
try has gone on with unparalleled
rapdity. In no direction has this
growth been more notable than III the
realm Of cotton. Our readers are
already familiar with the phenomenal
results achieved in cotton textiles.
South Carolina is reputed second only
to Massachusetts in the number Of its
spndles, and the tendency to bring
the loom also into closer relation with
the source Of its raw supplies must
steadily increase.
The enormous business done in
what were once waste products Of the
cotton industry, later by-products,
and now entitled to the dignity OF
independent industries, is not so well
known. Cotton seed is the founda-
tion Of as many allied branches of
manufacture as the Northern beef
and pork packing business has given
rise to. The oil is a staple article Of
commerce in all the markets Of the
world, and forms the basis for vau-
able ingredient Of numerous articles
Of food. At first used chiefly in the
large Northern lard retineries in com
bination with other fats Of animnl
origin. its value is now so universally
recognized, and its use so important,
| that manufacturers OF Lard Compound
are feeling the necessity Of yielding
| to geographical conditions, and erect
| inc their reiineries in the South,
where they are not only near the
source Of supply of cotton seed oil,
! but also al iacent to a large popula-
ton accustomed to he use of theil
| products.
Among the first to recognize these
conditions the \. X. airbank Com
panv is conspicuous. The Lard Com
pound produced at its Chicago and St
| Louis refinerics has been a households
staple throughout the South for the
last quarter Of century, aud oul
people will not be les. appreciative o
its merits now tina, they know it i,
produced here at home. The estab
lishment of the Fairbank Company al
Grctna is in every respect completcl
equipped for the manufactn o. lar'
Compound and .Cottolene,' an'
nothing i, wanting that money ol
skill can supply to perfect its pro
ducts. We welcome to our section
this new Southern enterprise, which
deserves the favor and patronage o
our people.

ADriIRAL DEWEY'S VND.CATlON
OF SCHLEY. |.
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
The findings Of the Schley court Of
inquiry is practically vindication,
g. FAR a5 the public is concerned.
First and foremost, because George
Dewey approves all that Schley did,
and 9iyes him all the praise for the
destruction Of the Spanish fleet

find fault and criticise in minor mat
tera, arc gruiginglv brief on the main
point-the action 1t Santiago. But
even a. to that they are forced to say
:-chley's cOnduct WA, ''self-p"~ses
Ell, " and that he encouraged in hi,
own person his subordinate officers
and men to fight courayeously.
1t must be remembered that this
controversy arose from the charge
that Schley was a coward and that lie
did not want to fight; that he wanted
to run away. aud that all he needed
was a chance. The loopof the Brook
lyn was attributed to hi. desire t. get
away from Ecrvcra. This was the
sort Of stuff an alleged historian had
written t. he taught the nayA! cadets
in Annapolis. and he asserts That it
wa, read in proof by men Ia high po-
,ition and either actually or tartitv
approved by them. Tht charge Of
cDwardice was the main charge, and
on that Nchley stands acquitted by
both majority and minority opinions.

with all possible dispatch. that the
blockade Of Santiago was effective.

the two essential points of the inquiry
Schlav was vindicated. The first es-
sentisl point WAS the charge Of cow
ardice. which WAS the most offensive
of the accusations. Admiral Dewey.

gave him full credit for the victory Of
Santiago. The question as to who
was the hero Of Santiago was the sec
ond essential point involved. | think
that Schley's friends have cause to
feel satisfied with the verdict.
"Whether Schley was active enough
and whether he displayed sufficient
caution are entirely matters of opin-
ion, The finding, however. places
Schlsy in history as the hero of San

Judge Gear Renders Opinion Under In. sular Decisions of United States Su. prsms Courts

Honolulu The Constitution of the United States preceded the flag in Hawaii according to a decision just rendered by Circuit Judge George .. Geer Of the first circuit. He has al ready released on habeas corpus peti- tions three prisoners sentenced fer in-. famous crimes. after the resolution of annexation passed Congress and was signed by President Mckinley. on the ground that they were not convicted by a unanimous verdict cf twelve iu- TOTS. A wholesale jail. delivery Of murderers. burglars. rapists. larcen- ists and other criminals Is threatened under the desIcon. and Honolulu Is greatly disturbed over the prospect.
 The decision was given under the recent lnsular decisions of the United States Supreme Court, and upon the clause Of the Newlands resolution which stated that all municipal legis- latIon of the Hawaiian Islands. not inconsistent with iN" Constitution, should remain In force. Judge Geer held that this meant that laws that were inconsistent with the C1nstitu- tiCn should net remain in force. and that. therefore. the Constitution of the United States extended to Hawaii immediately on the signing Of the Newlands resolution by the president This was on July :. 1898. six weeks before the American flag was raised in Hawaii.
