He condemned Booker WASH
ington's scheme of educating the
negro along industrial lines as an
attempt to place him on an equal
ity with the white artisan, some
thing that would intensity race
hatred in the South. He said
that among the 100000 slaves
during the rebellion there we're
more Christians than there are to-
day among the 5000, 900 blacks in
the South. l don't want to up

thank God there are no slaves to-
day under the Stars and Stripes"
Mr.. Tillman made an eloquent
plea in justification of lynching,
saying that Southern women could
not be brought into court to testi-
fly to their shame and degradation
before a jury for the purpose of
covicting a beast. His reference
to the sancity of the Southern
household and the Southern wo-
men and his remarks on lynching
we're heartily applauded. BE
closed with an impassioned state
ment to the effect that the white
people of the South would remain
on top in "spite of the devil" aud
if necessary no and his brethren
were ready to take down their shot
guns again.

GLAZING CONTRASTS.
Daily States.

Odliy Otdtts
This is the age of contrsts, and
New York's the place where the
huge ones are furnished. The
writer witnessed mighty power
full one the other morning. 1t was
at 10 o'clock, on one of the recrea-
ton piers that put into the East
river. The torridity, even by the
water, was almost unbelievable.
At that early hour there we're some
1000 poor women and children
distributed around the pier. Many
of the poorly clad, anxious-look-
ing women carried infants whose
faces had the stamp of death. The
tots that were able to stand up
were 30 cherries that they stood
in one spot and sucked their
thumbs, inert as so many poles.
A few painting longshoremen who
had been handling cargoes all
night were stretched out like dis
dressed dogs at the end of the pier.
The clothing covering the forms
of those 1000 human beings on the
pier would only have evoked a
bid from the rag man.
A beautiful, snow-white steam
yacht, as large as some men-o'war,
pulled alongside the next pier,
and all of the 1000 gazed at her
as she was made fast. The decks
we're of the last degree of polish,
the brassworked glittered in the
sun, the awnings Tapped and the
vacant wicker chairs all over the
main deck looked enticing enough.
When the yacht was made fast
fat man in a business suit stepped
down the gangway. He was a
very ordinary-looking individual.
There was carriage and a magni-
ficent pair awaiting him on his
dock, and he stepped in and was
driven away to his Office. The
weary-looking women on the re-
creation pier looked at each other
and looked again at the yacht, but
said nothing. They did not know
that the millionaire owner of the
yacht keeps her in commission at
cost of $4,000 month for the
sole purpose of fetching him down
to the city from his Larchment
seat every morning and taking him
back every evening, nor would the
figures have meant much to them
had they known it. But the sight
of the white swan, and of her sim
gle passenger debarking, no doubt
caused them to think many things,
nevertheless.

THE RACE QUESTION.

Milwaukee, Wis, August 4.
United States Senator Benja.
min F. Tillman of South Carolina
addressed a large audience here
on the race question from q South
ern standpoint. One of the fea-
lures OF his remarks was a plea
in justification of lynching. I'm
Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men," he said. "Why don't you
try the bleaching process and ex-
terminate them by intermarrying?
The idea is repugnant to you. In
South Carolsna we have 10000
blacks and $4,000 whites. The
carpetbaggers, the niger and the
Southern scalawsgs and scound-
rels ruled us after the war until
they had stolen everything that
there was in the State; then we
went with our shotguns to the
polls and took it away from them.
All men are rot created equal,

South will govern their own coun-
try"

LOUDOUN BUSH MEETING.
A UNIQUE SUMMER GATHERING OF
COUNTRY FOLK IN VIRGINIA.

Purcellville Loudoun County. Va. Aug 10 (Spe-
ciaD.-The twenty-fourth annual bush meeting has
just to a triumphant close The definite
article the" is used because of it's strict ap-
plicability the case There is only one bush
meeting in all the world. far known and
that is of annual occurrence this village
1t is held in grove that is perfumed with the
scent of honey bees and cooled by the breezes that
sweep down from the crest of the Blue Ridge
Mountains that circle the beautiful LOudoUn Valley
in a horseshoe. In this region it is assumed that
everybody knows what the bush meeting Is.
Therefore the casual visitor encounters great diff
fculty in trying to learn its meaning.
1.-The bush meetin'" tho native replies when
asked about 1t. why. stranger, where was yer
raised and how long yer been in Loudoun?'
The result of this unsatisfactory line of inquiry
is that the stranger goes to the bush meeting to
learn what it is and why it is And then the
stranger must attend the ''meetin' - every one OF
the six days duration in order to obtain any
thing Ike a satisfying understanding OF It's char
acter and scope. The bush meeting is not a camp
meeting. Neither is it county fair. Still. 1t en-
bodies the most interesting features of both OF
these traditional and favOrite forms Of buccc en-
tertainment Perhaps this negative definition gives
some idea to the initiated of what the bush meet
ing is 1t is to the mountain folk of Virginia what
Ocean Grove is TO the Methodists militant and
what the Westchester County Fair is to the city

Founder Dillon charged hve cents admission to
the bush meeting Daniel Hoge has raised the
price TO 10 cents and. though the complaint IS
universal that times is mighty hard and that
farmers are a-gettin' nothin' for their crops
saw that one word of criticism passed upon
Daniel Hoge for doubling the original price OF adj
mission to the bush meeting. That the increase
meets popular approval is demonstrated by the
fact that the attendance this year larger than
ever before The money taken in al the gates is
expended for the deectation OF the crowds. Dur

expenses must be nearly as heavy those of the
average summer theatre in ths cities. because the

took part in the scenes of rapine and deviltry
which left indelible stain upon the fair
name of Western civilization in China. Indeed,
they were models Of discipline and good conduct,
and possessed sufficient strength of character TO
refrain from following the example set by many
of their white comrades.
Inasmuch as the japanese and the indian
troops of Great Britain the only Asiatics
taking part in the military operations in China,
It is evident that there are grounds for a radical
modification of the rule against the employment
of non-Chrstian soldiers in warfare among
Christian nations, and that the English Govern
ment is. TO a great extent. justified in the de-
cision which it has adopted, 10 utilize henceforth
its African and Asiatic forces without restric-
ton IN any in which it may become engaged
with Christian power. Judging from the re-
marks Of Mr.. Chamberlain in Parliament the
other day. it is quite likely That in the autumn
Indian and West African regiments viii be dis
patched to take the places Of the English troops
which it is proposed to withdraw from the
Transvaal and Cape Colony, while it is probable
that the administration may even go far as
to accept the services of the Basutos. the most
enlightened of all African tribes, and who, as
stated above, have for the last twelve months
been entreating the British to allow them TO join
in the operations against the Beers.
England's example, unless checked by in
ternational conference, will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed by other great powers possessed Of Asiatic
New-York tribune., 1901-08-11

and African dependencies. Thus, an altogether
new element, of which no account has been
taken until now. will be introduced into modern
warfare among civilized nations. In fact, it is
possible that in course of time the white races
may eventually come TO use none but their dark
hued non-Christian lieges for lighting purposes;
that Asiatics and Africans viii alone constitute
the rank and file of our armies, officered and
commanded by white men In this way the Con-
tinental great powers of Europe. such as France
Germany, Russia, etc. may be relieved Of that
compulsory military service which is such
drawback 10 trade and industry, while the Eng
lish would be rid thereby Of the haunting dread
of conscription.
England has already at the present moment in
India alone force of more than eight hundred
thousand native soldiers. These are ohicered al
most entirely by Englishmen, and backed up by
a teeming population of three hundred million
Asiatics. all of them Indifferent TO injury and

taste for fighting. What Englands resources
in the way of native troops in Africa may be II
is difficult at the present moment 10 calculate
There are as stated above, no less than twenty
thousand well armed Basutos ready to take the
field against the Boers. Naive troops have
brought the various arduous campaigns on the
West Coast TO a successful completion. 1t should
be remembered that II was with African
troops officered by Englishmen, that Lord Kitch-
