public sentiment, was in Wash
ington this week. When asked
the effect in the South of Mr..
Roosevelt having Booker Wash
ington for a dinner-guest, he re-
piled sit has caused a general
feeling of disappointment and
disgust. This is especially true
among those who have been in
clined to wander off from the
democratic party in recent cleo
tons, and who had persuaded
themselves that the republican
party had come to take the
Southern white mans view of the
negro question. What some
people choose to describe as race
prejudice is as strong among the
better class of republicans, al
least, in my State, as it is among
democrats. 1t is, in fact, a feel
ing common to all people with
white skins" Of the politica

democrats to Office by Mr.. Roose

of ex-democratic editors and 9th

the hope of a post-office, O
something equally as good. The
McLaurin deal is an illustration
of the same thing. McLauril
was rantankerous in his opposi

the administration and made
rantankerous speech against tn
ratification of the peace treaty
He then voted against his ow
speech and finally went owe
bodily to the republican party o.

lowing can always be built up i
this way, but it can never bt
come formidable, and it ca

Why should a man who eats at
a well-suppled table forget the
man whose toll furnishes the
food ? Why should the man
who warns himself by the fire
forget the man whose labor in
the forest or in the mines brings
forth the fuel ? Why should the
man clothed in the best product
of the loom forget theman whose
calloused hands make fine cloth
es possible ? Both the consumer
and the producer are necessary,
but of the two the producer
comes first in point of time and
importance. Shall the rosebud
blooming in beauty and shedding
its fragrance in the air, despise
the roots of the bush because
they come in constant contact
with the soil ? Destroy the bud
and leave the roots and a second
bud will appear as beautiful and
as fragrant as the first, but de
stroy the roots and the bud anG
the bush will perish.

week he sunk SIMPSONS fleet

Of course the real danger from
such an act as Roosevelt's invit-
ing Booker Washington to din
ner, is that it may give social
prestige to the negro, which will
inevitably lead to miscegenation.
Once that becomes common, the
South will sink to the level of
South America, with it's varying
population of black and tan. The
only safe way of resisting this is
to resist negro equality wholly
and absolutely; halfway measur,
es are of no use whatever.

Judging from the partisan
abuse of Mr.. Shepard for accept
ing the Tammany nomination for
Mayor of New York, one might
suppose that he had in some way
sold his good name. Far other
wise is the case. In a speech the
other night, he denounced Tam
many's methods to its face; said
that he did not approve of its
methods and believed reforms
are necessary, and that, if elect
ed, he would see that these were
effected. In other words, Mr..
Shepard believes in reform from
the inside and not by joining
with the machine of Senator
Platt, which is only less corrupt
than Tammany because it has
had less chance to be corrupt.

This has been another great
week for Schley before the Court
of Inquiry. His witnesses have
demolished every vestige of the
case the Department clique and
it's witnesses sought to make
against him, and shown that he
did all that could have been ex-
pected of a brave and capable
officer, not ouly while the des-
truction Of the Spanish fleet was
in progress but previous to the
fight. The effect of all this is
seen outside the court room.
Schley cannot go into the lobby
of a hotel or to a theatre without
receiving an impromptu ovation.
Instead of breaking him down
his enemies have made him very
popular. He takes all this, just
as he took the misrepresentation
of his enemies for a period Of
three years, like the brave and
modest gentleman that he is, and
if he feels any exultation-he
would be more than human if he
didn't--he gives no outward sigr
of II.

Daniel r. Cushing recently addressed
the Commissioners calling attention to
certain facts relative to the dedication of
land for the extension of Massachusetts
Avenue. 1t appears that an impression
has been given to the attorney represent
ing Urquhart and Boiling. trustees for
certain parties who recently bought IA
tract of land Immediately south of Fair
town road. 10 the effect that Massachu-
sets Avenue has not beefl' dedicated
through the tract in question.
In view Of this state of affairs Mr..
Gushing calls the attention of the Com
missioners to the following facts relative
to the matter:
20 The linen tracing upon which
Massachusetts Avenue is shown to have
been dedicated was recorded in the Sur
veyor's Office. and the trustees signed the
paper forever dedicating its use to the
District. and they have never repudiated
the same, but on the contrary, have sub
sequently admitted that such was their
full intention.
"t2) The purchasers who are now deny
ing the dedication of Massachusetts Ave
nue. Knew that this paper was in exist
ence and discussed the matter before they
bought the land in question"
Such being the case. Mr.. Cushing re-
marks that the District Government can
hardly be expected at this late date To
treat the persons referred to as innocent
purchasers. and make them present of
land worth many thousands of dollars
not only obstruct necessary public inn
provemcnt, but would at some future date
force the Commissioners to acquire the
land through an act of Congress

noted and filed with other communications
upon the same subject
