BOOKER WASHINGTON IN NEW OR
LEANS.

On Friday night, October 31st, DR..
Booker Washington delivered an ad.
dress in New Orleans to a large audi
ence, composed of white people and
negroes. Some of the most representa-
tive white citizens Of that city were
there and occupied seats ON the stage.
President kruttschnitt, of the New
Orleans School Board, introduced
Washington, and DR.. e. A. Alderman,
president of Tulane, University, made
an address on the same occasion. Both
the Picayune and Times Democrat,
strong ultra-Southern, democratic
papers, gave several columns to the
occasion, and were very complimentary
of the man who is termed the Moses
of his race. Washington's address
was sensible and full of sound reason
ing. He gave his hearers good ad-
vice. The Picayune made editorial
mention of the occasion, and in speak
ing of Washington pronounces him
the most distinguished negro in the
United States, and doubtless in the
world. It further says in part:
"Booker Washington is perhaps the first
one of his race who took Il prominent and
active part in seeking to teach the freedmen
and their children that although the mere
edict Of Law can confer franchises. 1t cannot
make men worthy OF them. They who
| would wear honors and dignitfes must win
them. They who desire the respect and
esteem OF their fellows must earn it Men
are valued tor what they are not for what
they desire or claim TO be-

white people showed this eminent

We are not worsh;ppers at the

people-and it is right to give him
credit for it, The action OF conServa'

GRENADA, MISS, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1902
THE NAN IN THE HOUR IN ST. LOUIS.

A party of st. Louis business men
and capitalist were recently in New
Orleans and some of them were inter-
viewed by the Picayune. Senator
Collins in speaking of affairs in his
home city paid the following very
handsome tribute to District Attorney
Jas. W. Folk, who has been on the
track of the bribe-takers and bribe-
giyers in that city for some time.
Mr.. Folk is a native of Brownsville,
Tenn, and is one of the brightest
young men in the country, and the
SENTINEL agrees with what is said of
him in the interview. He is honest
and above reproach, which cannot be
said OF a large share of ofticeholders in
both large and small cities. The
interview was as follows:
Folk is 1.-THE man of the hour,'
said Senator Collins in the hotel lobby
yesterday evening. This is true not
only in St. Louis, but in the whole
State of Missouri. He is lionized
from north to south, and from the
could have anything he wanted in the
gift of the people. He is a Democrat,
but whether his party nominated him
or not, he could run as an independent
candidate and sweep the whole State.
Whether conditions will be the same
two years from now it is impossible
to say. but if they are he can have
the gubernatorial seat without an
effort. don't say that he wants it;
don't know that he wants anything,
but II he does want it he can have it..
He has worked single-handed and
alone He has shattered the strong
hold OF boodleism and corruption in

most energetic circuit attorney St.
Louis ever had. He has proven him.
self beyond doubt to be absolutely
and intensely honest. He is beyond
temptation. He could have made
millions by withdrawing from the
prosecution, but he wouldn't. Most
OF the men whom he was instrument
al in bringing to justice were men who
had acquired vast fortunes, legally or
Illegally, and they would have paid
any amount to prevent their down.
fall. Hut Mr.. Folk knew no differ
eAce between rich or poor. He was
alike to friend and foe. He was de-
termined to do his whole duty, and he
did it. What is his object, what is
his purpose, don't know. Whether
he has an ambition, l don't know.
But if he has it is already half at
tanned.
The new Grand Jury is just get
ting down to work. So far twenty
five indictments have been returned,
and four convictions have been obtain
ed. The other cases are still pending.
Bribe-giver and bribe-taker alike will
come out III the threshing. Before
the new jury closes it's session it is not
unlikely that some more sensations
will result.
The whole public is wrapped up in
Folk. He is the admiration of all
classes. Yet not an instant can he be
diverted from his purpose. He is 60
ing all The way to the very bottom OF
the dung heap. Not a rock will be
left unturned. ST.. Louis thinks he

It's no wonder! Honest men are not
so very common. That's why Folk
can have anything he wants. -

The complicated female organism is
so delicately adjusted as to be easily
thrown out of balance. AS result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup

aERMANY's SUGAR BOUNTY.
System Not Such as to Warrant Ac-
 .tion by the United States.

Washington, March 10-Since the an- nouncement that the Brussels conferences at which was represented ali of the beet sugar producing countries of Europe, had decided to do away with all government bounties on sugar intended for export. the sugar interests of this country have brought prominently to public notice the kartel system in vogue in Germany py which 1t is claimed 8 bounty in addition to that directly paid by the government is given to the sugar exporter. By this system sugar is sold to the exporter at a less figure than 1t is furnished for do- mestic consumption, the purpose being to keep the domestic price steady and one yielding fair profit, by selling the sur plus at lower rate which 1t is com pelled todo in order to compete with the sugars of other countries in the markets of the world. A
 The Brussels conference recently de- cided that the effect of the kartel system was a bounty on export sugars Several gentlemen interested in this question had conference with Secretary Shaw at the Treasury Department today, and urged vailing duty on German sugars by the bounty realized under the kartei system.
 The question of the proprfety of this action has received some attention of late in administration circles. but there Is reason to believe that this government will take the view that while the kartel system may and probably does result in bounty to the exporter, it is not a bounty paid by the German government and hence does not come within the pro- vision of Section of the tariff act au- thorizing the levying of countervaiiing duties on articles on which an export bounty has been paid.
 The wording of the law, 1t Is said, is such as not to warrant this government in taking any action in the premises.

THE HOUSE.

Washington. March lo.-The bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the contract system was passed today. but in form that complete changed the purpose for which 1t. was framed. All the provisions relating to the placing of carriers under the contract system were stricken out and the salary system not only was con tinued. but the maximum salary of car riers was increased from $500 to $500 per annum.
 A motion offered by MT. Williams Dem., Ilis) to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment providing for the dismissal from the ser- vice of carriers who should use their in nuence in favor of any particular party or for any particular candidate. was voted down-Ss to Al.
 As passed, the bill classifles the rural free delivery service and fixes the com pensatIon of employees as follows:

THE TITLE IS NOT CLEAR
Legislation by France and
 Colombia Necessary.
Senator Kittrsdgs, Who Fsvors ze-
 eepting the Proposition of the Panama Company, VIII Pre- pare Minority Rspert.,

Washington, March 1o-Senator 1eoEA gan today placed at the disposal of tho Isthmian Canal Committee. but did not formally present. the report of the suh. committee of which he is chairman on the question of the ability of tho neW Panama Company to give clear title In case the United States should purchase the franchises and property of that com pany.
 The report of the subcommittee ho1ds ing views contray to the majority ehe1l be prepared to present it's report. 0ena- tor Kittredge will prepare the minoritx report.
 The report of the majority of the sub committee is adverse to the acceptance ok the title of the Panama company. Thq contentious is made that before the com~ pany can make an acceptable title 1t will be necessary to secure legislation from France repeating the French statute re- curing the purchase in France of all machinery and material to be used in the construction of the canal and also tha French laws establishing lottery for the benefit of the canal The position also is taken that as Colombia put all her concessions to the Panama Company In the form of statutes 1t will be necessary for that government to repeal those statutes. The report also discusses the fact that the Panama Railroad Company is chartered by legislative act on the part of the State of New York and 1t is held that this circumstance might prove ern- barrassing in case the United States should destroy the ralroad n construct- ing the canal.
 The subcommittee appointed to inves- tigate the proposed Darien tunnel route reported unanimously against it.
 Senator Morgan was authorized by tho committee to ascertain the exact status of negotiations with Colombia. Nicaragua. and Costa Rica relative to right et way. etc. Members of the committee express the opinion that it will present its report to the Senate soon if the information secured by Senators Morgan proves sat- sfactory.

GOVERNMENT CROP IMPORT.
Last Years Wheat Yield Ono of tn Largest Ever Known.

Washington, March 10-The Agricultu- ral Department this afternoon issued the following crop report: Reports received from the departments correspondents in- dicate that about g per cent of last years 5 wheat crop Is still in farmers hands, compared with A5 per cent Q28.1oo ooo bushels) of the crop of 1900 on hand March 1, 1901, and g per cent d5s, 900 bushels) of the crop of 1893 on hand March 1, 1?oo.
 The corn in farmers' hands is estimated at about 2s per cent of last years crop. against 469 per cent (776. 200 900 bushels) of the crop of 1900 on hand March 1. 1901. and s7.2 per cent G73. 900 bushels) of the crop of 1899 on hand March ]. 1900.

: NOT AGAINST HENDERSON.
Opposition to Reciprocity Not Fight
 Against House Leaders.

Washington. March 10.-In view of re- ports that the opposition to the Ways and Means Committees 90 per cent Gu ban reciprocity plan was a movement against Speaker Henderson. and those of the House in. authority. Representative William Alden Smith of Michigan, one of the most active members of the opposi- tion, has called on Speaker Henderson and has assured him that the opposition was not directed in any manner against the House leadership or the Speaker. MT. Smith said the present movement was due solely to an earnest conviction against a reducton of the tariff duties.
 Mir. Smith also called today on Secre- tary Shaw and presented to the Secretary a means by which, in Mir. Smiths judg- ment, relief could be given to Cuba by action of the treasury without recourse to reciprocity reduction. Mir. Smith pointed out that under the recent Brus- sels agreement the Kartel system would continue another year. He proposed therefore that under Section 5 of the Dingley set, a contervailing duty be i'm posed by the treasury against sugar under the Kartel system. the same as this contervailing duty Is now imposed against bounty sugar. It was urged in support of this plan that it would give greater relief to Cuban sugar than any action Congress could take. Secretary Shaw took the suggestion under con- sideration. Both clements in the Cuban controversy were active about the House of Representatives today perfecting their canvasses and holding consultations.

The British ac- ton in blocking the payment of the Feb fuary installment of the Chinese indem- nifty was to bring Germany to terms. The British believe Germany is using Tientsin as an inducement to the Chinese to grant her a practical monopoly of the mines in Shan Tung province.
 The British diplomats regard the argu- ment that the municipal government of Tientsin by Europeans Is a>military ne- cessity as a subterfuge and in her role of protector of the Chinese against for ,eign aggression involved in the Anglo Japanese alliance and hoping to increase her prestige among the Chinese. Great Britain is helping them to regain Tien- asin. American influence Is being used to this same end.
