A pEvrLrsH STATEMENT.
We find thls paragraph In recent Issue of The Minneapolis Journal:

We find thls paragraph In q recent Issue Of The Minneapolis Journal: These Southern people are so terribly alarmed over their daughters marrying negroes, and use this argument so con" stantly, that one can scarcely avoid the suspicion that their daughters must be peculiarly attracted toward negroes: W hite men in the North are not afraid of their daughters marrying negroes. simply because the negro has his rights and fair decent treatment, and we hardly
 think that the parents of Southern white girls are justified in the alarm which they exhibit lest their daughters should do so.
 The utter falsity of this statement is
 only equalled by its devilish malignance. It is on a line with much that we find
 in Northern papers which make no effort to know the truth and would not state
 1t if they knew 1t.
 It is utterly false to say that the people
 of the South are alarmed over their
 daughters marrying negroes" No such
 fear exists. The daughters of Southern parents have no such inclinations and their parents have no apprehensions of
 such degradation. Whether The Journal reasons from its own inner consciousness, or whether 1t merely preferred to utter
 a faIsehood is not plain, but one or the
 other is apparent.
 What the people of the South fear, and what they have ample reason for fearing is that the base teachings and meddling of such newspapers as The Journal will lead the negroes to entertain hopes which cannot possibly be realized. and which can only result in their own ruin. The continual harping of ignorant or malev- olent men at the North Is calculated to mislead the negroes and to lead them to rapine and misdeeds which are certain to result in their destruction.
 And 1t is equally false to state that the negro in the North 'i1as his rights and decent treatment" They do not get
 either and The Journal knows it. And
 its language ieads us to infer that the | daughters of Northern men might marry negroes if the latter were not treated I rightly. For that insinuation 1t can an- swcr to its own people, but its insinua- tions about Southern people cannot pass
 unnoticed, though it is difficult to reply calmly to such damnable insinuations and statements.

Last Sunday The Montgomery Adver- tiser showed Alabamfans the real thing in the way of forty-page newspaper Norfolk Landmark.
 Appreciation from Sir Hubert Stanley is praise indeed" as Tom Morton ex- presses it. and for these few lines we are tempted to forgive The Landmark for some of its crankiness. for it Is always interesting. By the way, The Advertiser has for quite a while been showing Alabamians what a real news- paper is. We do not find 1t necessary to run scare headline across the front page to tell the people this for they know it and show their appreciation by their patronage. May The Landmark and The Advertiser live long and prosper!

Letters to The Editor.

The Index to Constitutional Con-
 vention Proceedings.
 Editor The Advertiser;
 1 am in receipt of letters of inquiry from members of the late Constitutional Convention with reference to the delivery of the index to the stenographic reports. Please say that the delay up to this time iS not charxeable to me. My work was in the hands of the printers in reasona- ble time. but for good cause they were not able to print and deliver promptly The proof sheets are now in my hands and the deliverey of the index will not be much longer delayed. Let me further say that the index is not as full as desired to make it. but was embarrass- ed by the insuficiency of the appropria- ton for printing and delivery. 1 hope, however, 1t will be found reasonably suf- fcient in fuliness. J. E. Cobb.

will Discover the Source.


 Sheffield Reaper.
 It is likely The Montgomery Advertiser will discover the source of our provin- cialisms is Virginia and Pennsylvania because the borders where the two States joined were settled by English, Scotch and Irish, and there was a blending of their dialects, and as they were carried southward they were adopted and chang ed to suit the community in whose vocab- ulary they took up" As strange as il may seem, yet in backwoods portions ot the South and Pennsylvania may be heard the expressions of ''mout" and Tout" for might and fought" and we have heard Virginian use them also. They may have originated from the Pennsylvania Dutch corruption of the German language, or from the Scotch dialect. Anyway The Advertiser is en- toying itself at the expense of the Nor folk papers.

A Trihs Touched

Mobile Register.
 A Chicago scientist has knocked down the plastering with a theory that Cxol' gosz was an insane man. The assassin was once observed to have twitching of the lower jaw and right fore arm. These are regarded as the symptoms of insanity. Czolgosz, therefore, was in- sane, and ought not to have been put to death. It Is some consolation to ob- serve that all the other scientists think the Chicago man a trife touched himself.

It is reasonably safe to bet on Senator Billy Mason every time. He made a speech commenting a special brand of champagne, and the makers of that wine had thousands of the speech printed and Mason franked them and sent them all over the Union free of postage. If the champagne men don't get out 8 special "Billymason" brand of their wine they don't know what gratitude is.

Bessemer Herald-Journal.
 Our Congressmen find that they can not live and keep in the push with salary of only five thousand dollars per year and want it made double. My! my! how discontented the world Is growing. This move of the Congressmen is very likely to cause quite a number of us editors to ask for a raise of salary. from cold potatoes, hash and stale bread to roast beef, biscuits and chicken fixings and 11our doings.

Columbus, s. c.. Aug. 2s-An accident
at the new bridge which the Southern
railway is constructing across the Con-
garee river caused the death of four
men. One other was fatally, and two
more seriously injured. The accident
was caused by the falling of two steel
Orders about seventy feet long, weigh
ing fourteen tons each. The Orders
were hoisted about midway of the river
above the bridge. The rains OF the
night previous probably had caused
the ropes holding them in place to
slip. The crash came without the
slightest warning. There were seventy
five people on the bridge. Three of the
men were pinned to the bridge ana
killed instantly. four more were
knocked into the rived, two of whom
were rescued by. a government tug
which came up from the Congaree lock,
a quarter of q mile away. The bridge
is being built by the Phoenix Bridge
Company of Philadelphia. The struc-
ture was not materially damaged.

Number of Soldiers in Manila to Be
.~Increased.
Manila, Aug. 26.-In the city Of Ma
nila there are now less than 1000 eff
fective soldiers and It has been decided
to Increase this number by four COM
panies Of infantry. The official reason.
for the increase is that the guard duty
is too heavy for the present force. AS
q matter of fact, however, there is Q
feeling that although there is no APP
parent prospect Of trouble, nevertheless
in the event Of an uprising in the fur
ture, such as is always possible among
Malays, it would be better to have
SUFFICIENT body of troops available for
such an emergency. Gen. Chaffee says
he considers the city Of Manila to be
perfectly orderly, and he can see no
prospect of an uprising. Commissioner
Wright thinks the people extremely
~peaccable." He is satisfied that, al
though amongia certain class there 10
some discomfort on account Of the land
tax which is not yet understood, this
class is not likely to foment trouble.

member Of the rural guard with whom
he had quarreled. The offender Is t~3
