RACE PREJUDICE NORTH.

What some people are pleased to
call race prejudice is not confined to one
section of the country, though here and
there may be found an individual he,
affects to be free from it. Several in
stances which indicate the universally
of this racial feeling have occurred in
the moth recently, and the Baltimore
Sun makes this briefreference to them:
Race hatred and prejudice seem to
be getting so bitter in the north that
brunette girls may be compelled to use
complexion powders. 1t is only neces-
sary to be suspected of relationship
with the negro race to be subjected to
all kinds of indignities. The other
day in Boston the door of a trade union
was closed upon all black faces. Then
in Chicago, at the Northwestern Uni
yersity, the headquarters of liberty, a
young colored woman who had entered
the school was turned out into the
street. As soon as it was discovered
that she had negro blood she was ex-
PEELED. But the most extraordinary
thing happened at Evansville, Ind. A
girl with dark complexion entered at
one of the public schools, and at once
all the other children left and the
teacher was confronted with empty
benches. Truant officers were sent af-
ter the children, but their parents said
they should not attend school with the
dark faced girl, whom they suspected
of being negro. The Board of Edu-
cation took the matter up and after an
investigation discovered that the girl
has no negro blood. She is simply a
brunette, and her parents are French.
1t will be safer hereafter for brunette
girls, when they enter the public
schools in the North, to use some kind
of complexion powders. 1t is really
painful to note the existence of such
prejudices in the minds Of our
Northern brethren.

SOUP AND SOCIETY.

An incident occurred at Newport a
few days ago which has stirred society
to its depths. Duke Doris, cousin OF
Ny46e Gar of Russia, honored Mrs.
Richard Gambrill with his presence
at a dinner. The clans had vanished
and soup was being served when the
Duke and his suite suddenly arose and
quit the table, likewise the house, The
butler had served soup to the hostess
before the Duke has received his com
ponent part of iteration. This offense,
of course, was objectionable and the
butler should have been given the
gnout. Had this crime occurred IN
Russia-but it could not have occurred
there. 1t is only in raw and crude
America that women are served first,
sN,and if angling is left the men get 1t.
of course exception is made in the
case of Pierpont Morgan. Perhaps
Duke Doris feared there was not
enough soup to go round. Or, as we
weuld say in Tennessee, perhaps he
feared the pot liquor would give out
before it got to him. AT any rate his
grace abruptly departed, leaving the
hostess overwhelmed with mortified
ton, and plunged in grief over the
thought Of losing such a distinguished
guest in such distressing eireum-
stances. Newport is shocked-and it
takea a good many volts to shock New
port. Such sympathy as we happen
to have in stock we freely offer to the
four hundred who eat and drink and
underdress and overdress at Newport,
where it sometimes happens that as
the host enters the door the guest flies
ont at the window. Nashville Ameri

GREAT PROGRESS MADE.
Report of Civil Service Commission
for Past Fiscal Year Submitted
to the President.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The nineteenth
annual report of the United States
civil service commission for the last
fiscal year has been submitted to
the president. 1t announces substan-
tial progress in the competitive sys-
tenn and general observance of the
civil service law and rules during
the year. The inclusions in the COM
petitive system during the year were
the rural free delivery service, a
considerable portion of the field
service of the war department, the
census Office permanent employees
and the employees appointed because
of increased work during the war
with Spain. There were 5000 per-
sons examined for places and 1888
persons appointed, reinstated or
transferred, large increase over
any preceding year.
Regarding political activity of of
| ficeholders, the report says: "In
classified service, where the choice
is made without reference to politi-
zeal considerations of tenure Office
is unaffected by the change of par
ties, it is perfectly practicable to
while retaining his right TO vote as
he pleases, and to express privately
his opinion on all political subjects,
should not take an active part in
| political management or in political
campaigns, for precisely the same
reason for which judge, an army
| officer or a regular soldier is de-
| barred from taking, such active part;
while in the case of officers appoint
| ed through patronage and npon po-
litical considerations, the proper linn
itations in the present state of pub
lie opinion are different. They must
not coerce the political action oil
their subordinates. They must not
use their offices to control political
movements or influence the result OF
elections; they must not neglect
| their public duties, nor cause public
scandal by their activity.
1.-THE commission believes that the
standards here adopted are tl>e high
est which are practicable at the pres
ent time, and that in enforcing theil
performance may always. keep pace
with promise, which would not bt
true if a more eXacting standard
were now adopted. 1t is obviously
unwise to apply the same rule to 6
fourth-class postmaster in small
village who has no employee ia in
timidate and who wishes to continue
to act in political affairs as he al
ways acted, and to the head of {
great federal Office, who may by hi:
conduct, or even by his mere exam
/ pie coerce and intimidate hundred.

WRECK IN OHIO.
| Passenger Train Crashes Into
Freight Cars at OxfOrd-Three
Men Are Killed.

Oxford, O., Oct. a1.--The express for
Chicago over the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton and the Monon routes col
lided with two runaway freight cars
here Wednesday night, wrecking the
engine, baggage car and mail cars.
The wrecked cars were burned. None
of the passenger coaches left the track
and none of the 60 passengers were
hurt, although all were badly shaken
up. Engineer Edward Conn and two
unknown tramps were killed. The
freight cars were detached from a
train that took the siding here to al
low the Chicago express to pass and
had gained terrific speed, when they
struck the passenger train.
