RACE WAR IN NAVY.

Bar Harbor, Me-, July 23.-The race
feeling which exists in the United
States navy against the negroes has
been cropping out since the feet of
seven warsh1ps has arrived here. The
white sailors have been making it hot
for the colored men, SO that the ne
groes now keep aboard most OF the
time rather than risk abuse on the
streets.
A number of jackies got into the
tent which the naval branch OF the
Young Mems Christian Association
has erected on the town park and drove
cut the negroes, who had gone there
for nights lodging.
Two black sailors were knocked
down on Main street by a crowd OF
white iackies, and after getting few
kicks and punches scrambled to their
feet and ran. One negro was thrown
over board fence into the street
Another found his way to the police
station and was locked up to keep him
away from the angry sailors who had
been chasing him. Another rushed
into a drug store and was put into a
cellar to avoid the mob. He had to
make his way across yards after being
smugeled out rear door.
Since this occurrence there have
been no negro sailors ashore after dark.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.
The Law is very Plain in The Matter.

In all probability not one person in
twenty five is aware of the fact that a
special act was passed by the legis-
lathe of South Carolina, making it a
misdemeanor punishable by fine and
Imprisonment or both at the discretion
of the court, to in any way molest
mocking or other song birds. They
are not to be killed, wounded, kept in
captivity, or their nests interfered
with, and those having the same in
cages are liable to be subjected to as
great a punishment as the party that
catches them.
This fact is brought before our read
ers' attention, as now is the time that
the feathered songsters are nesting and
the young birds are great temptation
to the boys.
But few days ago thoughtless
boy was seen, too late however to stop
him, tearing down mocking birds
nest, in which the young birds were
only few days old, and must have
perished for want of the old birds
care. A little attention on the part of
the citizens will do much toward pro-
tecting our songsters.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan a14.-Today's unsteady
and spotty stock market seemed to repre-
sent nothing more than the efforts of pro-
fessional trades to find purchasers for
shares. The constant fluctuations over a
narrow range testified to the difficulty
they found. The volume of transactions
fell off to little more than three-quarters
business of last Friday, when the activ-
ity of the present movement reached it's
elimination. OF. today's dealings no less
than 100000 shares were of Erie. The
continued activity in that stock is the
subject of the greatest interest in Wall
street at present and surmise exhausts
itself to account for it.. The failure of
Rock Island to move with it, today, dis
credited previous rumOrs that Erie was
being sought for an Eastern outlet of the
Rock Island system. The other coalers
were inclined to move with the Erie to-
day, and there was a disposition to attach
Importance to the formation of the So

Realizing sales met advances in all cases,
discouraged the professional element and
led to the sharp break in the afternoon
which carried the average level of prices
we'll below last night. Bonds were quite
active and were firm early, but became
irregular when the stock market turned
weak. Total sales, par value, 81. 2S0, GOO.

Here is the estimate in which
Thomas B. Reed was held by the noted
economist, Prof. Gunton: "Mr. Reed
was not a politician; he was truly a
statesman of national proportions. He
was student of political history and
philosophy, man of deep convictions
and practical views of public policy,
and he always saw and acted from
the point of view of national rather
than individual welfare. He was one
Of the cleanest and purest men that
ever entered public life in any nation.
He was prominently above reproach.
His individual, moral and political in
tegrity were above suspicion; the
breadth of scandal never touched him,
even indirectly. Although always a
party man, he was never a politician.
He was leader, but not a boss. He
was too strong to be bullied, and too
honest to be bought. He made no
money while in congress, but he built
up an unimpea enable character and
worldwide reputation. He reached
the second highest office in the gift of
the people-the speakership of the
House of Representatives. There are
few positions (filled by appointment)
which command higher salary, but
none but the presidency commands SO
much influence, involves so much re-
sponsibility and requires such a high
order of craftsmanship. 1t is conceded
alike by political friends and enemies,
by students and statesmen, at home
and abroad, that Mr.. Reed was the
greatest Speaker that ever presided
over the deliberations of any legislative
assembly in this or any other coun-

Governor Taft's Decision.

The whole country will commend
Judge Taft for his decision to remain
in the Philippines as civil governor
rather than to return to this country
to accept the place on the supreme
bench which it is understood would
soon be open to him. That such a de-
cision on his part involves great per-
sonal sacrifice, is not to be doubted.
His high legal attachments fit him for
q place on the highest court OF the
land. a place which we may well be-
lieve he has looked forward to as
rounding out his public career. Such
a place would not only be most con-
genial, but it's work and responsible
ties would be light in comparison to
those which devolve upon him in those
far away islands of the Pacific. But he
realizes that duty calls him to remain
where he is and with a lofty devotion
to the public service, worthy of the
work this country has undertaken in
the Philippines, he resolves to obey
that call, whatever the cost or sacrifice.
AS the president of the Philippine
commission and more recently as the
first civil governor of the archipelago,
Judge Taft has shown himself ideally
' equipped for the great task of bringing
order out of chaos there and of start
ing the islands along the paths of
progress. He has accomplished won
ders in his comparatively brief time at
Manila, and the unanimous appeal to
this government from the leading ma
tives that he be retained there is the
most eloquent testimony of the value
of his services to the islands. There
is much work yet to be done there and
there are many problems to be solved.
and both this government and the peo-
ple of the islands realize that he is the
man for the task. His acceptance of
the great trust when he might have
retired with honor and gratified high
personal ambition, marks him as one
man among thousand of those who
serve in high stations.
That Governor Taft will remain at
Manila means the rapid development
and Americanization of the now thor
oughly pacified islands; it means
greater honor and glory for this coun-
try among the nations of the world
and it means the more complete dis
comfiture of those pessimists and OBJ
structionists who felt that the United
such problems as the acquisition of
the Philippines involved.
