PITY FOR THE ANGELS,

The lady with the enameled teacup slipped
and told this story She said the incident
happened in Brooklyn, says the New York
Times: A little boy stood at the win
dow watching the snow falling upon the
pavement and blowing together into dusty
patches.
Aunt he said, do the angels send the
snow
Yes, dear said aunt, without look
ing up from her book.
There was silence for awhile. From
out the house across the way a white
capped maid came with broom and swept
the sidewalk and the steps She was the
servant maid of Mrs. s., very fastidi-
Gus, fussy old lazy, who has strong dis
like for both children and dirt Indeed,
she seemed to regard the words as synony-
nous. Only that day she had sent little
Jack and his chums away from her side Of
the street.
Jack watched the maid for awhile
then he startled his aunt with this state
ment:
We'll, I'd pity the angels if Mrs. s.
catches them putting snow on her steps!'"

THE CONSTITUTION SUITS.

United States Marshal Morgan Treat
has made his return to Judge Waddill in
the matter OF summoning witnesses in
the cases of the negroes who have insti-
tuted suits for S., 900 each against State
officers and members of the Constitution
al Convention, which suits include the
validity of the new Constitution. NO
important move of interest will be made
in the cases further than that the coun-
sci on behalf of both sides will answer
before the clerk on rules to today to make
up the issues and perfect the status OF
the case.
Judge Waddill is holding courtin Alex
andria and all the work done will be be-
fore Clerk Brady in Richmond. Major
Anderson is in Washington, and +. w.
Christian, associate counsel, will likely
be present on behalf of the defendants.
These matters being purely formal, it is
doubtful whether, Captain Wise will be
in Richmond, and James Hayes, his ne
gro assistant, will likely look after the
interests of the plaintiffs.
The cases will probably be set for hear
ing at the April term of the United
States Circuit Court
Captain Wise was in Richmond Sat
urday on his way to his home, near Cape
Charles, and spent an hour in the United
States Clerks Office lookingafter the
cases against the Constitution. He an
nonnced that when his appeal to the
United States Supreme Court was COM
pleted John G. Carlisle would argue it
before that tribunal.

The UNITED STATES would profit by
following the example of Mexico in the
latter's treatment OF monopolies. The
recent advance in the price of wheat
caused bakers in Mexico to diminish
the size of their loaves while still charg-
ing the same price, and this worked a
hardship on the poorer classes. The
Mexican government is determined that
the wheat ring which has been monop-
oIizing the grain shall be dealt severe
blow. For this purpose the recent de-
cree, taking off the duties on wheat,
was issued and the railroads have re-
duced rates from the border The
policy of the government is to break up
all monopolies that raise the price OF
living to the masses. This is the COM
mon sense policy to pursue and beats all
hollow the Hoar antitrust publicity
bill and such other humbugs. Had
Congress repealed the tariff on cattle
and on coal last year there would have
been neither meat nor coal famine in the
United States.

WHEN Mr.. Cleveland was President

WHEN Mr.. Cleveland was President
and was turning his back upon the lead
ers of the democratic party, which nad
made him. Mr.. Hill, on the floor Of the
Senate, gave this advice to his friends:
sIet him alone; DO as / do F; stay away
from the White House." Such would
now be timely advice to the white people
of the South and if they had ordinary
self respect they would follow it. Mr..
Roosevelt has repeatedly stated that he
has no sympathy with the sentiments
of the southern people and has repeated
" treated them with contumely by APP
pointing negroes to the most prominent
positions in southern cities, and his little
ness was exemplifed last week when ne
closed the postoffice at Indianola, Mis-
sissippi, and ordered the mail for that
city to be sent to an Office twenty-five
miles away, though there were numbers
of Offices much nearer; and all OF tins
because the white people of that city
found the colored postmaster Objection
able and made her position so uncomiort-
able that she resigned. But notwith-
standing all this, delegations of southern
men will continue to go to the White
House and invite Mr.. Roosevelt to
'honor' their respective cities or towns
by visiting them and he will keep right
along appointing negroes over these men
because it will win him negro votes IN
northern and western States where they
hold the balance of power. But still
we say, "Let him alone; keep away
from the White House"

Changes in International Politics.

Vienna, Jan. 5.-The leading
Austrian weekly, Sonnund Montags

the destruction of the triple alliance.
Germany having estraged both her al

are therefore compelled to secure other
support to restore the balance of power
necessary. This support will come from
Austria and Italy. The international

Tbe Coal Strike Commission.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 5.-With the
nrospect of at least month more OF
daily hearings the anthracite strike
commission, the coal operators and their
ATTORNEYS and John Mitchell and his
counsel are assembling here today for
conferences, preparatory to the begin
ming of actual work tomorrow. Chief
interest this morning centered in the
answer of George B. Markle, the big
gest of the independent operators to
the allegations of the strikers.
The reply of the Markle company will
be one of the first things to come before
the commission after it opens its ses-
sions tomorrow. While technically
the question of the recognition of the
union is not before the commission it is
becoming more and more evident that
the commission must in some way main
tain the United Mine Workers in the
award. A statement, no less interest
ing than Markle's, that the coal roads
will not longer attempt to restrain the
Independents, who assert they propose
to get what price they can for coal, is
being commented on.
A Philadelphia and Reading official
is credited with saying that inasmuch as
the coal roads are forced to transport
the products of the independents there
is no way to make uniform price for
coal. Whether the coal roads will meet
the advance of the independents is still
question.

A Protest

New York, Jan. 5.-The firm of
Boulton Bliss and Co., agents of the
Red ID. Line announced today that they
had forwarded a protest to Secretary
Hay because their steamer Caracas was
not allowed TO land all of her cargo at
La Guayra recently. The firm also de-
mands indemnity from England, Ger
many and Italv, whose warships
held up their steamer, for damages
sustained. The protest and demand
for indemnity were forwarded today
soon after the arrival Of the Caracas in
this port and after Capt. Woodrick's re-
port had been made. 1t is understood
that the contention of the firm is that as
the Caracas had cleared from this port
before the blockade had been declared,
she should have been allowed to land
her cargo at La Guayra. She was only
allowed to dock for "a hours and had
to take the greater part of her cargo to
Curacao and other places.
