good, however. americans will hasten
to thank it Ior its kindly solicitude.
Things must be quite bad in South
Africa If the London press finds it
necessary to assure us that John Bull
has not lost confidence in American
rectitude" If our rectitude were not
quoted at par in King Edwards S
dominions, life would be unendurahle
for this republic. 1t would droop and
die.
Perhaps Americans are expected TO
return the st. James Gazette's COM
pliment, and VOW that their confidence
in British rectitude, in the light of
the war in South Africa is unlmpaired.
We may concede our British cousins
rectitude, but We will have to draw the
line at that. We cannot say without
lying that the British are as good
fighters as the. South African Dutch
men. 1t has taken ten Britons to -ght
one Dutchman for nearly three years.
We have not doubt that some Amerl-
cans can be found who would lay
their hands on their hearts and say
anything the st. James Gazette would
like to hear. There Is nothing like a
proper observance of international
amenities-'you tickle me and III
tickle you" The great majority of
Americans, however. would prefer to
maintain a discreet silence. Our own
kettle may be black, but we are not
compelled on that account TO say that
the British pot is as white as the
driven snow. Our national rectitude
may be soiled but is that any rea-
son why we should give John
Bull a certificate of blameless char
acter? Have we fallen so low that we
need a certificate of character from
Joe Chamberlain's countrymen?

We hear a good deal these days
about changes in the Cabinet, but not
a suggestion of a Southern man being
called to the Presidential council table.
Why not? as not the South vital and
important part of this great country
Or does that count? Is it because the
delegates from the South to Republican
conventions are cheap and easily
bought that it is not deemed neces-
airy for Roosevelt to cultivate that
section?

The COON AND KENT.

We hasten to enter a demurrer on
the part of Chief Justice Kent of the
Supreme Court of Arizona.
We find in more or less esteemed
contemporary. towit, the Sun, published
at Blackwell, Oklahoma, this irreverent
and misleading paragraph glaring
conspicuously in the editorial page:
No wonder poor Arizona wants
Statehood. Presluent Roosevelt has ap-
pointed Edward Kent, a ''coon." to the
position of chief justice of the
supreme court of that Territory. Just
imagine his ebony honor addressing
white man thus: Stan up an be sward
to tell the trufe, de hole trrufe, an
muffin but de TRUE so help you Gawd.
'Tisn't so. The ChieI Justice is not
a coon. He was called a carpetbagger
when he came to Arizona, but his
color is strictly orthodox
We presume our Oklahoma contem-
porary when it designated Chief Just
ice Kent as coon" desired to insinu-
ale that his color was not that of the
American Brahmln caste. We are con-
firmed in this belief Oy the further
designation OF the chief justice as his
ebony honor" All of which shows that
strict educational qualification ap-
piled to voters would be apt to dis
franchise some white Oklahoma editors
as we'll as 4,-.ssissippi blacks.
The word coon" is popularity applied
TO our fellow citizens of African des-
cent, 1t is an abbreviation OF racoon,
and was no doubt appned to negroes
because of ther love of companionship
with that animal, But as a matter OF
fact coon is more or less classic In
American political nomenclature, and
although the Oklahoma editor did not
know it, or mean it, Chief Justice
Kent came by the name honestly by
inheritance Coon was the nickname
applied to members of the old Whig
party in the early days, and the
father of the Chief justice of Arizona
was a distinguished Whig 1t was un-
der his leadership that the State OF
Maine after many years adherence to
rock-ribDed Democracy transferred its
party allegience. He was the hent
celebrated in the old couplet:
Have you heard from Maine, Maine,
Maine
How she went hell-bent
For Governor Kent and Tippecanoo
and Tyler too.
Maine has been going hell bent poll
t4cally ever since.
But to return 10 our mutton, or
rather to our coon. Who does not !
remember Lowells delightful creation
Hosea Bgelow' telling his political
experience:
Fust place I've been consid able
round in barrooms and saloons
A getherin' public sentiment 'mongst
Dimmercrats and coons"
These 'coons were the ola WINGS
who were eventually driven to their
holes by the ngnung Democracy. The
Republicans succeeded to the estate of
the Wings whicn was much impover-
ished and almost devoid of negotiable
assets. If the Oklahoma editor had not
referred to his euony honor" we
would not have objected to his calling
the Chief Justice a coon. AS the lneal
descendent of an old Whig, the name
is not irregular, although somewhat
obsolete.
The color of the Chief Justice is o. K.
and We will continue to hope that his
attainments ana judicial character
will deserve the same honorable brand.
But we must wait Tor developments.

Ine lamb-like Rathbone has been
in Jail all this time. as we are now to
understand, simply by virtue OF
the compatibility of Cuban judicial
officers, alued by the officers of the
United States army on duty in Cuba.
He never committed a crime-we are
told by Hanna. Never even the most
innocent departure from lne ways Of
official rectitude was his. He Of all
men was selected to conduct the af-
fairs Of the Cuban postomce, because it
was so necessary that we should set
an example of upright and efficient
official methods 10 the benighted Cub
ans All these potential facts have come
to light only after your Uncle Mark
Hanna had reflected on the quantity
and quality of his political secrets of
which Rathbone was the custodian.
Doub1ess all goou administration poll
ticians and organs will be down on
their marrow ones asking for forgive
ness for having imputed wrong to
Rathbone by the ume tn lark and

that the understanding will be salts

OBITUARY.
+ GONE TO REST.

The passing away of Mrs.
Orleana Mills, the wife of Mr..
Morris Mills, on Monday at IL
O'Clock, was a shock to her many
friends, although she had been
sick for more than a year and
confined to her bed for five weeks:
Her nearest friends were hopeful
of her recovery up to within a
few days of her death.
Mrs. Mills was born in Mont
gomery, Ala, July II, 1853, and
was married TO Morris Mills in
Mobile in 1869. She embraced
the christian religion IS years
ago. On moving to this city 20
years ago she united with St.
Paul A. NJ. E. church. She
brought to this church that same
integrity, energy and christian
courage which characterized her
whole life. A few months ago
we announced the death of her
sister, Mrs. Dungee, from which
she never fully recovered. Mrs.
Jessie Smith was called from her
home in Mobile, Ala, to the bed
side of her sister several weeks
ago and did all that could be
done to relieve her suffering
sister.
In her death Mrs. Mills leaves
to mour, faithful husband who
had shared her joys and sorrows
for more than 80 years, a sister
and a niece, Mrs. John May
weather of this city, niece and
nephew in Alabama and host
of friends, neighbors and associ-
ates. Mt. Olive Court of which
she was member, turned out in
a body. The funeral services
were from the A. M. E. church
Wednesday at 3 o'clock. The
Rev. Graves assisted by the Revs.
Johnson, Rakes and McCravens
conducted the services. The
church was well filled with friends
who showed the high regard IN
which she was held. The floral
offering were many and beauti-
full.
