THE FAMOUS HAMPTON ROADS
CONFERENCE.

That was a solemn and pathetic scene
in the senate yesterday when Senator
Vest. of Missouri. spoke in reference to
the famous conference at Hampton
Roads between President Lincoln, Sec
rotary Seward and others representing
the federal government, n Vice Pres
ident Stevens and others for the Con-
federacy.
The senator refutes the statement fire.
quently made that Lincoln gave Stew
ems carte blanche to dictate any terms
on condition of preserving the union.
This. the senator shows from state
ments of those present was not true.
The senator's reference to how he Sc
cured the correct statement and to his
desire that before he-the only surviv-
ing member of that notable body of
MISUNDERSTANDING join the great ma
iority history should not be falsified,
but placed in possession of the facts as
given to him by participants in the
conference, was indeed pathetic, II
during it's recital the speaker was given
the undivided attention of the august
body which he was addressing, and
there was breathless silence on the
foor and in the galleries of the senate.

determination Of the white people to
maintain present conditions.
1t seems to us that the time for such
speeches has passed. What is the use
or the good to be gained By his re-
peated declaration OF what the white
men Of the south have done and are
going to do. EVERYBODY knows- the
northern republicans. the white people
of the south. and, We think, the negroes
that the days OF reconstruction at the
south are passed never to return: that
negro rule will never again be allowed
In any southern state; that the white
people will not submit to it. This car
be taken as a settled fact and there Is
no sense in discussing it in the halls Of
congress. The northern republicans
know the south will never put up with
it again and they would not dare to at
tempt to force it pom us.
White mems rule Of the southern
states Is a settled fact for all time to
come.
The northern republicans may make
an effort 10 profit by this well under
stood state of facts. In fact they have
already taken the first steps to do so
by the introduction If the house or rep
representatives of the Crumpacker reso-
luton, providing for an amendment to
the federal constitution. basing repre-
s~entation in congress on the vote instead
of population of the states. This reso-
luton will hardly be passed III congress-,
and. if it should be. there is still less
likelihood of its adoption by the re-
quisite number of states.
Even if such an amendment should
be added to the constitution II would
not effect hite supremacy in the
southern states. for those states which
have recently adopted suffrage amend
ments to their constitutions looking to
permanent white control would rather
have their representation IL congress
reduced thar to endanger their firm
hold on the control Of hon govern
mentS.

SENATOR TILLMAN'S RECENT
SPEECH.

The long drawn out discussion in the
senate Of the Philippine civil govern
ment bill becomes more exciting and
sensational as it progresses. At first
the republican senators took very little
part in it, leaving the matter to the
democrats, to criticise the administra-
tion's policy and d%enounce the conduct
of the war in the Philippines, with now
and then a remark thrown in, a ques-
ton asked or a short speech made, for
the purpose of exasperating the demo-
Gratis.
OF late there has been a change in
this respect. Senator Lodge, and then
Senator Beveridge have seen fit to make
a set speech in defense of the admin
istration.
On Wednesday Senator McComas In
a speech on this bill drew the fire OF
Senator Tillman by making reference to
the political condition of the negro in
South Carolina and other southern
states.

SENATOR McLAURIN'S POSITION.

The announcement of this South Caro-
lima senator and candidate for re-elec-
ton at the hands of the democrats that
he will not abide by the decision of the
democratic primaries is rather sweep
ing and still more puzzling 10 one on the
out side.
What does the senator mean? Does
he not know that In the present state
of affairs in South Carolina the man
nominated by the democratic primary is
as well as elected? Does he contem-
plate running as ar independent or a
republican before the next legislature
as a senatorial candidate against the
democratic nominee if he is defeated at
the primaries? or mas he had a wink
from the occupant of The White house?

THE FRESH MEAT TRUST.

The charge hat the great packing

combination to advance the price OF
fresh meats is being investigated. A
commission is sitting IL st. Louis, TAX
ing evidence in this matter.
Before the commission some very
startling statements were made by a
witness Wednesday,. Maurice Prend-
Vile, a st. Louis retail dealer, told of
the means employed by the packers to
keep up the price of meats. According
to his statements the eaters of beef and
pork and mutton. as we'll as the men
who raise the cattle, the sheep and the
hogs are at the complete mercy of these
big concerns. They work the thing al
both ends. They dictate prices to the
cattlemen and to the consume of the
neat after it is put upon the retail
market.
There is no competition among the
purchasers of cattle and the cattlemen
are compelled to sell TO them at their
w figures or be black-listed. They
are not ever allowed, when dissatisfied
with the prices offered to ship their
cattle to other markets. Ii one should
be so bold as to refuse the price offered
and ship to another market, a tele-

bine. and wherever he may go he is

A BIBLE VERSE TEST

A business meeting of the Y. p. s.
[. f. of Central Union church was held
last evening in the church parlors. The
nrst matter brought up for discussion
was the election of a delegate to be
sent to the annual convention at La.

the choice OF the society.
One of the most interesting features
of the meeting was the test of Bible
verses instituted not long ago. Each
society working under the banner OF
the Y. p. S. c. e. is supposed to learn
% verses from the Bible and to be able
to give these verses with the books and
the chapters in which they are to be
found.
The test last night showed great pro
hciency on the part OF the large mum.
Der of members present and the So
ciety here will be sure to make an ex-

more test fortnight hence and then

pared with those of the other societies.

EDUCATIONAL COLOR LIMB.

ships. In other words. the custom es.
tablished by Southern whites is such
that the beneficiaries of this Columbia
University fund must be all white or
all black. 1t is said. furthermore, that
all the Southern students will leave
the university in a body ii negroes are
admitted to any department on an
equality with the whites.
A more nonsensiCal sentiment can
hardly be imagined. The salvation OF
the South is education, and more par
ticularly the educational development

States south OF the Mason-DiXon line
The Southern white establishes his
right of minority rule by the charge
that the negro is ignorant, shiftless
without ambition. Yet when opportu
nifty is offered for the advancement OF
men and women of the colored race
these whites lay down hard and fast
law which prevents participation, di'
rectly or indirectly, on equal terms.
Columbia University will unques
tionably advance in the estimation OF
broad.minded, intelligent citizenship, II
it adopts the policy of first come first
served and allows the selfish Southern
white to go his own way.
