Mr.. Littlefield's Argument.
or of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 beg leave to submit few words in re-
ply through The Star that shines for all
to the speech delivered by Representative
Littlefield of Maine at the annual dinner
Of the Congregational Club of this city,
given at the First Church Monday evening
and reported in part in Tuesdays Star.
Mr.. Littlefield, in my judgment, yields
the strong point of his eloquent address
when he unqualifiedly says that the negro'S
northern friends made mistake in enfran-
chising him. Had he said that the repub-
lican party made a mistake in reconstruct
ing the south before it had accepted the
results Of the civil war, and before the
negro had become capable of approaching
the responsibility of citizenship, he would
have been nearer right than when he bases
the mistake upon the alleged lack of civil
lization of the negro. Then to say that
this so-called blunder gave rise to ''ku
Kluxism'' the tissue ballot and the grand
father clause also yields the strong moral
ground upon which his speech was other
wise pitched. He forgets that the 'Ku
klux Khan was organized to assassinate
northern white men who went south to
hold the offices and the southern white men
who affiliated with them. Ku Klux did not
waste their ammunition on such small
game an inoffensive negro.
The learned New Highlander is mistaken
when he characteriZes the freedmen as I'M
civilized. In his eXtenuation for the out
RACES of the southerners, he charges them
nearly ten generations a people whom they
had not reclaimed from the savage state.
This is certainly inferred sin of which
the southern white people are not guilty.
All their slaves had been by them re-
claimed from the savage state; some of
them had been introduced into the civility
of the manners of the masters and instruct
ed in the arts of regular life generations
before the emancipation.
1t was not the lack of civilization of the
negro, but rather the human nature of the
| southern white maj and his Anglo-SaXon
determination to rue or ruin and not to
submit to be governed by northern white
men elected by the ballots of their former
slaves.
| II Mr.. Littiefield can show that the pill
| grim fathers ana the Jamestown settlers
made mistake in arming the negro and
sending him to do battle for the independ-
| ence Of this glorious country: II he can
| prove that President Lincoln and the party
| Of freedom made a mistake in enlisting
the negro to fight for the restoration and
| the perpstuatjon OF the Union, because, for

Ohio Repeats Garfield Law.

The Garfield law in Ohio, which aimed to
prevent corrupt practices at elections was
wiped off the statutes yesterday by the
senate at Columbus passing the bill for it's
repeal. The legislature was practically
unanimous for the repeal of the measure,
the chief argument against it being that 1t
was ineffective and that it placed a pre-
MUM on perjury.
The law sought to restrict the amount of
money which could be spent by candidates
to secure nomination or election by COM
pelling them to file sworn statement of
their campaign expenses. The law was gen.
lions under it.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appea
(Dem) says: THE enthusiastic DEM
onstration made on the occasion of
Admiral Schleys appearance at the
theater in Savannah, Ga, is not an
isolated instance of the naval hero's
popularity. He has been received with
equal enthusiasm in the Northern
cities. where people are supposed to
be almost or wholly devoid of such
a. thing as sentiment. Even Chicago,
is making elaborate preparations to
entertain the admiral when he reaches
there, and he may expect a Voclferous
welcome when he appears.
These demonstrations are not
manifestation of slobbering fondness,
but they reveal the American charac-
ter in a light which shows it to be
willing to do homage to the brave
and serviceable and hostile TO every
attempt at injustice in any form. The
people are anxious to rebuke the at
tempted injustice of the naval clique
and to resent the injury inflicted upon
q brave man. The people realize that
they possess supreme power and they
are not slow to warn those in authority
who are disposed to do wrong that
that authority may be taken from
them and bestowed upon their in
tended victim.
THE warm reception given Admiral
Schley everywhere he goes need not
be construed into a presidential boom;
but should President Roosevelt fail TO
right the wrong done by the ma jorty
of the Schley commission, these dem
onstrations may develop into some
thing of the sort"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Dem. )says: 1T is the Senate now
which deliberates and legislates. and
the country recognizes the fact, as
the House comedies IT, petition now
being circulated for signature. which

The statement in the London dis
patches that there have been abso-
lutely no responses to the recent call
Of the British war office for voIun-
teers indicates clearly the growing
unpopularity in England of the Boer
war. 1t is true it is said that vol
unteers are not forthcoming because
Of the new egulatlons
which allow volunteers only one shill-
ling day while volunteers in the yeo-
many are paid five shillings. If
there were intense patriotism the diff
ference in pay would not put COM
plete stop to volunteering. 1t is as
serted in the London dispatches that
either the regulations will have TO be
to resort to conscription to fill the
depleted ranks of the British armies
in South Africa.
Reports are being circulated that
the war will end soon, but they are
not confirmed from Boer sources. In
deed, the understanding is that the
Beers believe that they will be able
to hold out great deal longer than
the British think they can. But the
British are not so confident of sue
cess in the near future. 1t seems to, be
the understanding that the days OF
the Salisbury government are num-
bered. Parliament will meet next
Thursday, and then a question may be
raised on which the government win
be defeated. In that event it is prob
able that Lord Roseberry will be called
upon to form a ministry which will
speedily bring the war to a close. The
King is exceedingly anxious that peace
shall reign throughout the empire at
the time of his coronation. To secure
It special efforts will be made.
There is a story afloat to the effect
that Lord Salisbury win resign any
way if the war is not ended by the
time set for the coronation. 1t seems
that the King is of the opinion that
a different ministry could accomplish
more towards bringing the Beers TO
terms, or at least towards bringing
the war to an end on terms honorable
TO Great Britain, than the present gov
eTnment can

When ones friend is a scientist and
given to experiments a little caution
may not be out of place before con-
senting to do him d favor, says the
Youths Companion. That, however,
did not occur to a certain well known
public man whose experience is re-
lated in an Australian paper. He
went to the laboratory of an old school
mate, a Melbourne professor of chem
istry, to make friendly call. The
professor was studying a dark brown
substance spread out on a sheet of
paper.
II say" he cried, when greetings
had been exchanged, would you kindly
let me place a bit of this on youl
tongue? My taste has become vitiated
by trying all sorts of things
Certainly" responded the accom-
modating friend, and he promptly
opened his mouth.
The professor took up some of the
substance under analysis and put 1t
on his friends tongue. The man
worked it around in his mouth fol-
fully a minute, tasting it much as
he might have tasted choice con-
fectfon.
Note any effect?" asked the pro-
fessor.

A Movement Under order.

No original claim is made in connec-
ton with this story, and it may have
gone the rounds, but it was well told
the other evening by a Detroit minis
ter, who was engaged in a very ear
nest debate with an army colonel over
the alleged arbitrary methods of those
commanding the rank and file, says the
Detroit Free Press.
The colonel had warmly contended
that there was every effort to be just,
and that departures from equity were
exceptional. You have given this

WHY 1T WANTED TO SELL.

The Senate Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals did not get much infor-
nation out of Edouard Lampre, the
representative Of the Panama Canal
Company. when he was before it on
Saturday. 1t seems that Senator Nor
gan. the chairman of the committee,
had Mr.. Lampre summoned for the
purpose. mainly, of finding out the
source of the sudden outburst of pub
lie sentiment in favor of the Panama
Canal. He thought probably that The
offer of the Panama Company to sell
its property for $4OOOO.0OO was not
made in good faith, and that the Pam
anna Company was working in har
mony with the Pacific railroads to pre-
vent the passage of any canal bill at
this time
There was nothing in Mr.. Lampre's
testimony which justified any such
conclusion. on the contrary, what he
said was calculated TO strengthen the
belief that the Panama Company is
scared at the prospect that the United
States viii adopt the Nicaragua route,
and proceed to build canal. That
would mean OF course the loss of every
thing that has been put into the Pan
anna Canal. because, with the begin
ming Of the Nicaragua Canal it would
be impossible to get money with which
to complete the Panama Canal. The
Panama Company is sincere in its offer
to sell it's property, and it would not
be surprising if it should offer TO take
less than $40, 10000 600 if it should become
satisfied that it could not get that
sum. 1t would be better to accept $l0,-
600 600 than to have its property left on
it's hands, because the canal would
have to be abandoned, and the railroad
would not pay running expenses after
the opening Of the Nicaragua Canal.
or course the opponents of an 18th
mian canal will urge the acceptance of
the offer of the Panama Company, be-
cause they aim to delay the action Of
Congress on a canal bill. The sudden
outburst of sentiment in favor of the
Panama Canal which irritates Senator
Morgan, the chairman of the Senate
Committee on Interoceanic Canals, is
doubtless largely due to the efforts of
the Pacific railroads. Probably he was
convinced of that by the testimony Of
Mr.. Lampre. There are some senators
no doubt who are inclined to favor the
Panama Canal, but their number can
not be large enough to imperil the bill
providing for a canal on the Nicaragua
route.

COLLEGE
ATHLETES.
Strength and Endurance the
Result of Proper Training.
Blood Wine-Used at Principal
Observation-Disclosures General
Health of Students.

The interest in college athletics is un-
doubtedly growing This is due to sew
eral causes. Probably the first reason is
that of making aname for oneself-which
goes down in history and becomes a
monument to ones memory-respecte
and honored by the succeeding genera
tions and constituents of the several in
Stitutions of learning.
The fact that athletics, as now indulged
in throughout the country, has been a
means of turning sickly, puny men into
sturdy specimens of manhood is also avery
great inducement, and serves to arouse
athletic instincts i'll thousands of young
fellows, who would otherwise have no
aspirations in that direction.
The training of a college athlete is
good example for everyone to folio "

voice, pleaded for help.

Il cried out, but my voice is not
strong and my cries were of no avail, "

Interesting? Do you think it inter

money except small sum in my in

How careless!" commented the

Then, having satisfied himself that
the strangers story was true, that he
was really tied securely, that his voice
was weak, and that there was a small
sum in an inside pocket, he secured
