crunn1Nc THE MOTHERS.

A singular and not at all creditable story was that told at a recent meeting of the woman's Municipal League of New York by Mrs Charles Russell Lowell. Speaking of the inadequacy of the public school facilities and of the efforts of some parents to get their children into school, she declared that mothers who had taken their children there clamorins TOT admission. were clubbed away by po- licemen, and mothers and children sent home crying, both in pain and disappoint- ment."
 If this charge had not been made In sucb A public manner, and under such circumstances, and by such prominent woman, we might think 1t was gross islander, or a great exaggeration. at least; hut the statement cannot be disposed or in that way, aside from the fact that 1t agrees with much else told of that clty government. It is bad enough when city or community which professes to give free education to the children fails to provide adequate room for them' put when the mothers are driven away by the clubs of policemen because they desire to get their children into school, 1t sounds too much like we are reading about Turks or some other semi-civilized people. New York is fast getting a reputation that no other city will covet.

stand Southern logic DOT appreciate Southern sentiment, about which you talk so fiippantly. It is a condition in the South and not a theory that makes the position of the negro and the negro alone of vital importance to the peace and or
 der of the Southern social fabric. As we have very few Chinese laundrymen to contend with it is of little importance how he may be regarded socially by the President or anybody else; but if he numbered two to one of the whites in any considerable section of the South, or If he was a large part of the popu- lation of that entire section, and was moreover ignorant in the main and tn- clined to be vicious and unruly, we do not hesitate to saw that quite com~ motion would be made if any attempt were made to force him into social equal itw with the Southern whites just as would happen if the same thing were at tempted in San Francisco. where he Is numerous. The logic of the Southerner is that anything that tends to disturb the distinctive social relations existing between the negro and his white fellow citizen Tn the South is very dangerous for the negro: hence the conservative and sensible press of the South deplore the Presidents mistake because of the i'll effect it may have on the peace and happiness of our section. Social equality is impossible in the South, hence the danger of wantonly raising such an fs- sue, especially of those in authority.

ENTERTAINED BY DIAZ
BANQUET TO DELEGATES ID PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
President of the Mexican Nation Felicitates with the Visitors over the Harmonious Relations
 of the Republics.

Mexico City. Oct. 29.-The dinner given last night by President Diaz in honor or the visiting delegates to the Pan-Ameri- can Congress. was one of the most per fectly appointed entertainments ever given in this city. General Diaz made the following speech:
 ''Messrs. Delegates: Interpreting the sentiments of the people and government of this republic, which has distinguished me with the office of it's President, have the honor in its name of offering to you this banquet as one of the demonstrations whereby it desires to signify to its sister republics which you so worthily represent at the International American conference, it's deep gratitude for the good will with which all accepted its invitation, as well as the friendlness, respect and merited esteem with which it has received their delegates In the same capacity, l ex- press the hope that the conclusion Of your high deliberations may be to such degree fruitful in benefits for the peoples of this continent that their future rela- tions may ever be governed by the up- right spirit which animated Washington Hidalgo, Bolivar and San Martin in the most mOmentOuS ana CHdTdCIeTlStlC SPA- sodes of their heroic public careers.
 "Gentlemen, in concluding, l beg to in- vite you to drink with me that the hopes which have just expressed in the name of my compatriots and which are the same as those that you harbor in your generous souls, but which hitherto nave not passed beyond good desire, may be- come realities. binding together in inti- mate union the young nations which have l.; o,I n6 have right to expect much from your wisdom and discreet patriotism. hope, too, that nothing may interrupt the in- creasing prosperity of your nations and the just reward of their manly and in- telligent efforts. And finally, I drink for the perpetual felicity of your worthy Presidents and express my desire that your stay in Mexico may be as agreeable to you as it will be to me-
 Response was made by General Rago- sa, provisional President of the Congress. who said, in part:
 You are right, MT. President, in conf1- dently hoping that the results of the de- Alterations of this great continental as- sembly will be fruitful in benefits to the nations which unanimously accepted your invitation, for on the one hand the wis dom, enlightenment and patriotism of their delegates warrant such an expecta- tion, and on the other. the medium in which those deliberations are being held is as propitious as could be desired in order while encouraging perfect tran quintY of mind, to enforce the conviction that the people and government of Mex leo, being at peace with all the nations of the new and old world, have no other aim than to contribute to the consoida- tion of sovereignty of each one within it's territorial limits and to promote the free and progressive development of democratic institutions in America on the footing of most amiable recognition of one another's rights"

THE REPORT OF GREELY.
Splendid Service of the Signal Corp
 is Shown.

Splendid Service of the Signal Corps
 is Shown.
 Washington. Oct. 29.-General Greeley, Chief Signal Officer, in his annual report, says:
 The operations Of the signal corps have been co-eXistent with the operations of the army of the United States proper. but also of Alaska, Cuba. Porto Rico, the Philippines and portion of China.
 'The muster out of the last volunteer soldier would seem to mean a reduction of work, and in this electrical age the demand for progressive generals has de- VelopCd in the American army the appli- cation of electricity to war on a scale un- precedented in military history. Inces- sant demands were made by military commanders for inter er-communication with their detached organizations by tele- graph and by telephone, in addition to the former methods of visual signalizing. |"
 General Greeley says the corps should be increased to meet present demands. There have been constructed 336 miles of telegrap ph line in Alaska, and arrange ments have been made with the Canadian Government to use it's line to Alaska. The signal corps operates 3,34S miles of telegraph in Cuba. an increase of 162 miles during the year.
 The operations of the corps in the I ', there having been 4.s51 miles of telegraph lines, an increase of 2,O54 miles during the year. The military cable lines in the Philippines connect Manila with Mindero Martinique, Masbate, Semar, Leyte Cebu, Negros. Mindanoa, Jolo and Siasi. General Greeley recommends an inter- national cable conference to prepare regu- | lations for cables.
 Concerning experimental work he says Tn wireless telegraphy the signal corps | has perfected its own system, which was the first one ever successfully operated in the United States on September 30. 1899 between Fire Island and Fire Island Lightship. distance of ten miles. There are now in successful operation two sta tions in San Francisco harbor, one at Fort Mason and another at Alcatraz Is- land Arrangements have been made for the establishment of stations in the Philippine Islands at suitable points The chief signal officer adhered to the opinion that this system has its limitations. which are not entirely dependent on dis tance." ...
 General Greeley, in recommending a Pacific cable says:
 Tt is only a matter of time when Luzon shall be connected with Japan and Ton kin and the Chinese Empire The Philip pine Islands are now only accessible tele- graphically over a short cable of about 600 miles of the eastern extension com pany between Manila and Hong Kong. An eastern Trans-Pacic cable is a military and commercial necessity if American interests are to he safe-guarded in Aslate regions. Such a cable, while of great value in a military way. will ! especially further industrial interests and facilitate commercial operations"

Two news items in the Kansas papers seem to fit into each other with accuracy. One is that bank deposits in that State have increased ten million dollars since June 1st and the other that the Populist Party of Kansas has practically dis banded. It is an undoubted fact that Populism never fiourishes when pros perty abounds. and it would not be far wrong to say that there is little prosper ity where Populism fiourishes. Full sav- ings banks furnish an argument which Populistic theories can never combat suc- cessfully

DEMAND FOR CORN.

The Greencastle Qnd) Star-Press says: The task was not a small one; a long time and untiring labor were required to make it plain to the people of Europe that corn bread, corn pone and corn dod- gers were mighty good eating, but after the time and labor spent the end was gained. The people across the big pond now realize that corn. as a breadstuff, Is alright; that 1t tickles the palate and sticks to the ribs
 Necessity was working in concert with the American farmers. Many short bread crops in the Old World had something to do with the introduction of our corn to the people, and now that they have learned from experience that 1t is pretty good substitute for the bread to which they have always been accustomed, it Is not unreasonable to predict that the far mers of the United States will find continued and growing market beyond the ocean for their surplus corn. In all prob ability the days of cheap corn in the States are over Southern farmers will do we'll to take the hint, for it Is plain that an unusually large and increasing demand from foreign countries for our corn will enhance it's value and increase the price in the great grain States of the West. Then tho Southern farmer who depends on others for hts bread and feed for his horses and mules will find that corn growing is a necessary, as we'll as profitable, business. A great foreign demand is good for the country at large, even if this section is forced 10 pay for it.

 Women and bargain sales furnish ma terial for many a newspaper paragraph, but a recent episode in Atchison, Kan, tops all the jokes on the subject we have yet heard A woman went to one of these sales and the result is thus related by local paper:
 She took four children to be fitted for cloaks, and in the rush and confusion at the stores, became panic Her great fear was that she would lose one of her children, but when she got to the de- pot to return home, she rounded them up, and found she had five!
 For some reason the paper failed to give the sequel to the story; so we are left to conjecture the state of mind of the woman, when she realized the bar gain she had secured, or what the hus- hand said of this method of adding to the family. Possibly she sent the extra child back and exchanged it for some thing of which she stood more in need.
