TILLMAN,S LECTURE.

The lecture of Senator Tillman
on the Race Problem" was a
fearful portrayal of conditions ex-
listing in South Carolina during
the reconstruction period, and of
the dangers with which he declared
the country stands confronted be-
cause Of the presence of the Afri-
can race therein. The Senator is
positive is his opinion that the
white primary system is a failure
and that the time is not far dis
tant when Georgia, like most Of
the other southern states will be
obliged to adopt q new constitu-
ton for the purpose of restricting
the suffrage.
In regard to the solution of the
negro problem Senator Tillman
offered no plan. He secuted the
idea that education is of any ben
eft to the negro so far as making
him a good citizen is concerned.
On the contrary he claimed that
whenever negro is educated"
he is started on the road to the
penitentlary. Booker Washing
toms plan was denounced as a
complete fraud.
The Senator declared that with
white people moral training, which
begins at the mothers knees, is
the foundation upon which society
is built and that nothing else can
he substituted for it which will
prevent any people from falling
into barbarism. AS o result Of
hereditary influences extending
through countless ages which in
fiuences were produced in the first
instance by home training the
Caucasian race had arrived at it's
present exalted position. The
Senator plainly declared that the
African is not capable of receiving
moral instruction to the extent of
being materially benefited there
by because, in the first fplace, of
the inherent character CT the negro
which forbids the proper moral
training of the young by the
mother, and secondly because of
the enormous fund of barbarious
hereditary influences derived from
innumerable savage ancestors.
The speaker alleged that the
negro race is growing in America
almost as rapidly as is the white.
Colonel Balm who touched on the
question Thursday morning stated
that it is estimated that if they
are not removed from the country
there will be sixty million negroes
in the United States at the close
of the twentieth century. Senator
Tillman expressed the opinion
that troubulous times, growing out
of the race question, are in store
for the Americans of the future,
and rejoiced that he would not be
alive to witness them.
If conditions are as bad and un-
promising in this country as SEN
ator Tillman represents them to
be, surely every man in America,
be he white or black, should lend
his utmost eudeavors to settle the
question if it is capable of settle
ment. The writer is fully con-
WINGED that there is one wav in
which it can be adjusted in man.
ner satisfactory to both races, a
way which is both practicable and
comparatively inexpensive, and
that desperation. Admitting
that Senator Tillman underesti-
mates the capabilities of the negro,

1t is said that Japan is willing
to pay $3.50, 100000 for the Phil
lippines. While this would by no
means reimburse the Uuited
States, it would no doubt be a
fine business transaction in the
long run. In fact the conclusion
forces itself upon us that we
would have made money by pay
ing japan or some other country
to take the Philippines off our
hands sometime ago.

The next leap year will occur in
1904. The Julian method of in
tercalation supposed the year to
be eleven minutes fourteen Sec
onds too long. This makes q day
on 1913 years. At the time of the
council Of Nice, in 1925 the equi-
nox which fell on March 25, when
the calendar was introduced, was
found to fall on March 21, aid
when the reformation Of the cal
ander was made in 1882, the equi-
nox had retrograded to March H..
In order to restore the equinox
to it's proper place Pope Gregory
XIII directed that ten days be
suppressed in the calendar; and
as the error of the Julian interca-
lation was found to be three days
in 400 years, he ordered the inter-
calations to be omitted on all CEN
tenary years excepting those who
are multiples of 400. According
to Gregorian rule of INTERPOLATION
therefore, every year of which the
number is divisible by four with
out a remainder is a leap year ex-
cepting the centurial years, which
are only years when divisible by
four, after emitting two ciphers.
Thus 1900 was leap year, but II
90. 1900 and 1900 common years,
2000 will he leap year and SO
on.

1t is easy to be poor; it requires
neither genius, industry nor econ
omy to keep a mans nose on the
grindstone all his life, says a re.
cent writer.
There are those who are kept in
poverty because of their own fault.
They might have been we'll off.
but they smoked or chewed up
their earnings, or lived Beyond
their means, while others on the
same wages and on the. same sal
ries went on to competency. I
know a man who is all the time
complaining of his poverty and
crying out against rich men, while
he himself keeps two dogs and
chews and smokes and is often full
to the chin with whiskey and beer.
A man in Portland, Me-, some
years ago, when times were hard,
announced in the daily papers
that he would give a bag of flour,
a bushel of meal and a sack of
potatoes-or something about
equivalent-to any family who did
not use tobacco, drink whiskey or
keep dog. He was willing to do
this for a hundred families but he
did not have one single applica-
tion for his bounty. Do you want
to be poor? The road is open to
