common with other directors of the
State, that no more excursions will
be permitted to visit the State Hos

of official inspections. The recent
visit of the Passaic county free
holders with number of political
friends is the cause of the new rule.
There were eleven freeholders in the
party and about 80 hangers-on, many
of them unlimited. When the party
reached the hospital DR.. Evans, the
medical director, refused to allow it
to inspect the building, holding that
it would be hardshipon the patients.
The board of managers later passed
resolution that the resident man.

county or state officials, but wifi not
indorse the action of any official who
allows curiosity seekers to inspect
the building

COMMENTS ON
RECENT EVENTS

Since the race question has sudden
ly become acute, more attention has
been given to a striking article in the
North American Review some time
ago in which a Southern planter named
Stone maintained with great earn
estness that the mulatto is the root
of all the mischief. We find good
deal Of newspaper correspondence
from persons having opportunity fol-
observation in the South, in which
the same contention is maintained
The idea is that the mulatto, in
stead Of being degenerate, like most
hybrids, is the superior of the negro
and dominates him when they come
together. They are obliged to come
together in this country, because the
whites avoid the mulatto as much as
the negro The mulattoes, being in
many cases high spirited and ambi-
tiouS, resent being classed with the
negroes, and, being forced to associate
with them, inspire them with their
own desire for social equality and all
the privileges of the superior race.
The Southern negroes, it is said,
would be fairly content with their
condition if left alone; and the mu-
lattoes would be glad to separate
themselves from the negroes if they
were permitted to mix with the
whites.
In the West Indian islands and
other countries the half-breeds form a
class far more distinct from the
negroes than they are from the
whites. Indeed, they mix with the
latter on terms nearly equal. Be
cause they cannot do that here they
are said to keep up perpetual agi-
tation among the negroes. They are
not charged with cases of outrage:
but it is claimed that they alone
aspire to intermarriage and that they
are responsible for all the demand
for common privileges in cars, hotel,
schools, workshops and elsewhere
that keeps the South in a fever OF
excitement.
If this is true it is easier to under
stand the remarkable conflict of testi-
mony upon the race subject. If it is
true, again, there is hope for eventual
cOlufiOn Of tbn race ounction bu
gradual disappearance of the hybrids,
if continued intermixture can be
prevented. Finally, if it is true that
all the race trouble is due to the
mulattoes, the children of the
Southern planters who founded the
mulatto race are paying frightful
price for the sins of their ancestors
against race purity.

Not all Of US will have French Wallets

be able more than to read, write and
speak at it?
There never was such a language as
the English, especially since we Ameri-

bumpety bump of a mile things held
together. Then a wheel came off the
buggy, aud the clippers rolled out on
the frozen road in chorus.
This is too much!" shouted Joe as
he arose IN anger.
"Did anybody ever elope without
some slight accident happening to
them?" demanded Sarah. "Of course
not. It's all in the romance. We shall
probably have at least six more adven.
lures before we stand up to be married,
and it will be SO nice to talk about
them afterward."
The wheel was toggled up, and the
romance went on at a slower pace.
But two miles farther on in turning
out to avoid a mudhole the buggy up
set in the ditch and the lovers had an
other spill. Two wheels were dished
and an axle was broken, and the elope-
