vided by for law.
Mr. Gilbert, Kentucky, took occasion to
reply to some remarks recently made by
Mr. Gillett, Mass; Mr. Broomwell, Ohio,
and General Funston, which he thought
reflected upon his State. In the course
OF his remarks, Mr.. Gilbert said that
In Kentucky and in fact in all the South.
they had looked with supreme contempt
upon the social equality of the races.
Ihe most ignorant white girl in his
State, hes aid, would infinitely prefer to
marry the lowest, meanest, most ignor-
ant white man in the world to the most
cultivated negro in America.
Gentleman, on the other side could not
cry down the 'taint in the blood. He
recalled the fact that when a cOlored
man sat on the other side not one of
his colleagues invited him to his house.
The prejudice against social equality was
as strong in the North as in the South,
he declared, and all talk to the con-
trary was "hypocritical rot and rank
Mr., Gilbert's remarks drew a reply
from Mr.. Gillett, (Mass.). Mr. Gillett
said he was willing to admit the preju-
dice against the negro in New England.
He Thought that, perhaps there was a
greater physical repugnance toward the
negro there than in the South. But be-
cause one man personally felt a preju-
dice against the negro he did not think
he had right to attempt to enforce it
upon others.
Mr.. Bartlett (Georgia) interrupted to
ask whether some time ago Booker
Washington was not refused lodging at
the hotels of Boston.
Mr.. Gillett replied that the incident
referred to occurred at Springfield. not
Boston, and he explained that Mr.. Wash
ington was refused lodging at two hotels
because they were full and could not ac-
commodate him. But he said the pro-
prietor of one of them made every eff
fort to secure lodging for him elsewhere
and invited him to come to the hotel for
his meals.
Mr.. Gaines, Tennessee) asked if the
Governor of Massachusetts,. when he
went TO the Nashville Exposition. de-
clined to take with him a member of his
stan, who was negro.
III he did, replied Mr.. Gillett, ''it was

what the statute of the Philippines would
be after the passage of the measure.
Mr.. Lodge replied that they would be
citizens of the Philippine Islands pre-
cisely as it was provided by law that
the inhabitants of Porto Rico were citi-
zens of Porto Rico.
Mr. Teller said the cases were not
analogous. The truth was, said he. that
analogous. The truth was, said he, when
in power Republican) did not know what
it wanted to declare as to the citizen
ship Of inhabitants of insular possessions
He urged that the United States Govern
ment ought to declare that the Filipinos
either are or are not citizens of this
country
Mr.. Lodge said it was declared dis
tinctly that the Filipinos were citizens of
the Philippine Islands.
Mr. Bacon insisted that the inhabitants
OF any country must be of necessity eth
er the citizens or subjects of a sover-
eighty. He said the United States had
not the courage to declare that the Fill
pinos were subjects and asserted that to
call them citizens Of the Philippines
meant absolutely nothing.
Washington, April 21.-The House to-
day entered upon the consideration OF
the Military Academy Appropriation Bill
which, in addition to the regular items,
contains provision for the extensive i'm
provement of the grounds and buildings
at West Point. These improvements are
to cost s6,5O0,000, little over $4,000, 900,
of which is appropriated in the bill.
Twenty-four of the thirty pages of the
bill were completed.
During the general debate on the Mill
tary Academy Bill, Mr.. ilbert, of Ken
tucky, precipitated a discussion on the
race question which was participated in
by Mr. Gillett, (Mass.); Blackburn,
North Carolina); w. w. Kitchin North
Carolina), and Mr. Gaines, (Tenn.), Mr.
Cochran, (MissourD, and Mr.. Gillett also
discussed the question of the alleged
violation of the neutrality laws in con-
nection with the shipment of mules and
horses to South Africa.
Mr. Cannon, chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, characterized the
proposed expenditure at West Point as
the 'rankest kind of rank extravaganza. 3"
Mr.. Hay, (Virginia) said that the i'm

the State of Louisiana VS.. the State of
Texas concerning the quarantine regula-
tion of the latter State in which leave
was given to file, and the State of Min
nesota VS. The Northern Securities Com
pany in which the petition to file was
denied.
Referring to the latter case he said
the petition refused because of the in
superable objection that Indispensable
parties to the case could not be brought
into the court. This objection did not,
however confront the court in the pres
ent case and the court felt that because
of its desire to proceed with the utmost
care, and deliberation in all cases where
original actions are brought in this court,
the precedent of the Louisiana Texas
case should be followed rather than that
of the Minnesota case in the present in
stance. Hence leave to file would be
granted and subpoenas would be issued
returnable on the lrst day of the next
term of the court

to the State of Washington to file an
original bill for an injunction against the
Great Northern Railroad Company, the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company and
the Northern Securities Company in ac-
cordance with the petition of that State
recently filed in the court.
The opinion in the case was delivered
by Chief Justice Fuller, who stated that
the court had always exercised the ut
most care in its proceedings in original
cases and that the present decision to
grant leave to file was intended to be en-
tirely without prejudice to either party
at interest.
The Chief Justices opinion was very
brief and consisted entirely of review
of original cases of the same character
which have been brought to the attention
OF the court The two most important of
the cases thus cited were the case of

SHOULD VISIT VALDOSTA.
Mayor Says Savannahians should
show NeighbOrIy Spirit.

"Savannahians should visit Valdosta
during the progress of the State Fair
there" said Mayor Myers yesterday.
ut should be recalled that there were
large delegations of Valdosta people in
Savannah last fall, when the State Fair
was held here. Savannahians should
now reciprocate.
II understand that Valdosta has ar
ranged a most creditable show, and it
would be to the advantage of sight
seers to pay that enterprising South
Georgia city a visit. The attractions
are varied, and an enjoyable stay will
probably be the lot Of all who attend
the Fair.
"Neighboring cities should be neigh
borly. Savannahians should encourage
such enterprise as Valdosta has shown
by their attendance. 1 hope to be able
to arrange my affairs so as to visit
Valdosta, and believe othevs who can
should do So"
Low rates are offered by the rail-
roads, and doubtless there will be a
number of parties formed to visit the
Fair.

some of the members of the associa-

that it was not desirable to make the

be a festival, but it should be marked

Do Business Men Think of This.

The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Haze you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of it's citizens?
1t saves little if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to do much more
work than they are doing if they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and. indeed
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah
And it will do it as we'll and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah a home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find its way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?

Country Produce.
A thoroughly frightened white horse
attached to country produce wagon,
ran amuck on Bull street from Brough-
ton north. about s o'clock last night.
causing pedestrians to scatter in every
direction.
The horse turned into Bull from
Broughton, west, and at Congress lane
took to the sidewalk on the east side
of the street. The usual collection of
loungers around the Screven House
heard the rumbling sound and saw the
maddened horse bearing down upon
them. They scarcely had time to make
their escape. The horse and wagon
kept the sidewalk without mishap un-
til Congress street was reached.
At the corner a laundry wagon was
missed by only a few inches, and the
negro driver was badly scared. The
frightened horse plunged into johnson
Square with the heavily loaded wagon
at his heels. The wagon jumped the
curbing without doing any more dam
age than dropping a few ears of corn.
The horse took the western sidewalk
in the square. but left the wagon at a
telegraph pole on Bryan street, at the
edge of the square. The collision sent
ears of corn, sugar cane, a trunk and a
telescope flying into the air. The sugar
cane was promptly conhscated by iuve-
niles who had followed in the wake Of
the runaway. The horse went east on
Bay street.
