Chief Con- .bIe In Trouble-oa for 10 Days

s. T. HOWE, who has been in charge
of the squad of State constables located
in Charleston, has been suspended for 10
days, for grave lack of discretion in raid
ing private residence in which there
was no possibility of Illicit liquor being
stored. Governor Hayward says: "But
for the unfortunate instructions issued
by Chief Hammett-which do not relieve
him from censure also-the affair would
have boon more severely dealt with.
That Chief Hammett was unfamiliar
with the streets of Charleston and was
ignorant of the fact that he was ordering
Chief Howia to raid private residence
mitigates his offense to largo extent.
There will be no cessation of vigorous
enforcement of the dispensary law in
Charleston and elsewhere. The thought.
less and unnecessary invasion of any
home will be carefully guarded against"
All the trouble was caused by tho search
ing of the homo of Mrs. Trenholm, in
Charleston.

Senator Hanna Is Ladies' Man.

Columbus, Ohio, April Ex-senator M.
A. Hanna, in his address to the students
ment that he would hire girl stenogra-
pliers every time in preference to men,
and If it were not for his wife he would
fill his offices with them, because, he
says, "they are more industrious, more
efficient and good deal safer; besides, |
admire them" This statement was re-
ceived with cheers from the students
On the platform with Senator Hanna
were Governor Nash and Congressman
Grosvenor, and they, too, joined in the
outburst of enthusiasm which followed
the frank statement of the Senator. The
Senator addressed the students in the
chapel of the college at convocation and
his talk was an informal one, dealing
with the advantages of young men and
women created by higher education.

Confinement OF Drunkards.

They passed law in Iowa last year
permitting the confinement of confirmed
drunkards in lunatic asylums. 1t made
a little stir, but within eight months 30C
alcoholic patients were under restraint
and treatment. An lowe dispatch says
that inehriates continue TO flow into the
State asylums at the rate of about fifty q
month, and that an Iowa court has just
ruled that their constitutional rights are
not violated by their detention. Some OF
the inebriates don't like to be sent up
but the treatment they get seems to be
humane and salutary. Their liquor is
stopped, and they have to work on farms
and are encouraged TO improve their
they are discharged, and the report says
that so far about IS per cent of the cases
have so resulted.

The most significant feature of the
progress OF the settlement of the race
problem is the change in sentiment of
the Northern press on the subject. The
New York Sun, the ablest paper pub
lished in the country, and the staunchest
in its advocacy of Republican doctrines,
has turned almost completely around in
it's position. 1t admits that the good,
law-abiding citizens of the South must
settle the question to their own satisfac-
tion, and says that there is now better
understanding in the North of the bur-
den the South has to bear. Such express
sions as these show that progress to-
wards a settlement of the question is
being made. The South will treat the
negro justly ard will encourage and aid
him to better his condition, and both the
negro and white man will be satisfied
with the result If we are allowed to work
out our destiny without interference on
the part of those who do not understand.

Mr., Ratlif put 10 eggs In the nest. The

Negro Has Better Chance In the South.

Richmond, Va, April A.-Dr. Lyman
Abbott to-day gave an interview on the
negro question. He said, among other
things:
81 think in the main, that the relations
between the blacks and whites in the
South are better than they are in the
North; that the doors to Industrial rela-
tions are more open to the negro in the
So.th than in the North; that
if he is Industrious, honest and rea.
sonably intelligent he has, on the whole,
better chance in the South than in the
North, and, to put the whole thing in a
few sentences, if 1 were a negro would
rather live in Southern than North
ern State"
81 must add the qualification" DR..
Abbott continued, "that probably there
are exceptional comm unities in the
South whore the negro is subjected to
exceptional prejudices, and possibly ex-
ceptional communities in the North
where he would enjoy exceptional privi-
leges."

Double Track for Southern.

There is little doubt of the fact that
the Southern railroad between Washing
ton and Charlotte is one of the most
heavily overworked single track lines OF
railroad in the entire country. The
traffic is so heavy that it is practically
impossible to get even limited mail trains
through on anything like schedule time
but it is expected that all this will be
changed pretty soon. The contract has
been awarded for the double tracking of
the line from Washington to Orange,
Va, and as soon as this work is com
pleted, the double-tracking will be ex-
tended on down to Charlotte. This i'm
provement means great things for South
ern traffic generally, and is but a step in
the realization of the splendid develop
ment of the South, 80 abundantly prom

They are coming in colors, some in
