CHEERING TES1IM0NY,

All the southerners aren't afflicted with negrophobia. Ex-Governor Will liam J. Northen of Georgia, for in- stance. I have lived. he says, among the negroes all my life and I don't want to live where there are none. I will trust them In every relation far more confidently than would the mongrel population of self-announced socialists,
 aarchists, and outlaws who do the menial service of other sections. The better classes. of negroes have shown themselves quite as much in favor of the death penalty for the outlaws of their race who commit assaults as are the white people themselves. There is no longer that disposition to conceal and protect these criminals against full and proper punishment, when this pun ishment is administered uniformly by due process of law, and not by the bar barous burnings of the mob. For all these years I have had occasion to watch closely the relations between the races in this, State, and I say to you

latiOn of 4.000 in the towns along the
 banks. The route of the boat is next down the Ohio to Cairo. and then up the Illinois river to La Sale, which is only few hours railroad ride from Chicago. From La Sale the playboats steam back to the Mississippi. and thence to
 the vicinity of New Orleans. where the
 theatrical season ends late in the South ern winter. Over this route there are thousands of of towns in all, with many varied types of people as patrons, in- lcluding those of the famous Mississippi plantations.
 For twenty-five years past from one to four playbOats have been on this long water circuit. Years ago French's float ing theaters, one of the original present. ed Uncle Toms Cabin on the very river over which Eliza escaped on the ice. The water circuit tired of the 'Un- cle Tom show, however, and until now there has been nothing in the floating
 theaters except vaudeville.
 This year the drama has been re- Vived on water. and a version of Faust full of electricity and life, is being shown before thousands under more
 novel conditions than surround most theatrical audiences. The floating theater is notably inde- pendent. It pays no railroad fare, hires
 no houses. divides no receipts and in- CUTS no hotel bills. From the time the stock company goes aboard the steamer at the beginning of the season until frost comes way down south no mem
 Der of the company need step on land. Back on the steamer odors of cooking mingle with the smell of sulphur from
 banked fires under the boilers. The deck hands wash their hands and faces and become actors. Tie captain stops chewing the tobacco of the sailor man land lights the cigar of the theatrical manager.
 <" Make fast that for'ard port hawser, he says to a deck hand not yet trans- formed.
 Put another weight on that No. 8 drop, MT. Jones; we want that anchor for the boat he says to the stage car penter.
 When night falls the whole outfit, steamer. theater, and all, blazes with electric lights. A dynamo on the steam .er supplies plenty of current, and the floating theater is, as brilliant with lights as the front of a Broadway play house. The steamer proper is closely lashed to the main theater boat. From the edge of the upper deck of the steam er searchlight flashes about over the hills. the trees, the open fields, or the mills. *"s

CRAZY SNAKES MIssloM.

Crazy Snake is going to Washington, and, like many others who go there, he is going there to talk. Crazy Snake is the leader of the Ketoowah band of Creek Indians He has the distinction of being the last Indian in the United States rebellious enough for Uncle Sam to order several companies of regulars out to keep him within bounds. This happened two years ago, when he de- clared war against the government, and since that time he has served a term in prison for rebellion. Crazy Snake will ask those in authority to secure an in- terview for him with President Roose- welt as soon as the arrangements are completed, When the council of war was held near Tahlequah last week each tribe named a delegate to go with Crazy Snake to washington. They are adherents of the old treaty of 1SS2 which provided that the Indians should hold their lands in common, according to the old tribal laws, as long as water runs and grass grows" The old war rior and the delegates named to accom- pany him cannot speak English, and an interpreter will be necessary in order for them to make their wishes known to the president, They will ask him to en- force the treaty of 1882.
 Some who know how the Indians are dealt with will think that Crazy Snake is true to his front name in going to Washington with the idea that a prom ise made to Indians by the government in 1882 is going to be kept.

MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE

There appears to be tendency of late to magnify the sphere of the state police of Massachusetts, bringing it perhaps in rivalry, if not in the danger of conflict, with the polce'of the towns and cities of the commonwealth. The duplicating of police operations to this actual or threatened degree is hardly to be regarded as desirable. It is in- teresting in this connection to inquire into the intended character of the state police as it was created by act of the legislature. Its existence, as is known, is of comparatively recent date, and the purpose of it is easily ascertained by a survey of the circumstances which at- tended its establishment. ii.
 The main object of this was the en- forcement of the liquor law of the state, law repealed several years ago and not now in existence. This law, it is we'll remembered, was not ap- proved in large and important sections of the state, including several of it's cities In Boston it was especially dis liked by the majority of the people. Under these conditions, it was difficult to procure it's enforcement by the local police. The advocates of the law were constantly complaining that the sale of ardent spirits went on in disregard and defiance of it, and they were apt to lay the blnle for this to the authorities that had the care and the control of the police. They sought in the legis- lature for this purpose a metropolitan police for Boston which should besap- pointed by the governor of the state, very much such body as is now in existence as the city's local police, but which they did not succeed in obtain ing then. They declared that if law was passed creating it the liquor law (which was the prohibitory act) would be readily enforced.
 While the agitation in this direction was going on, the election of the year 1860 occurred. John A. Andrew was then chosen governor of the state, and a legislature almost unanimously re- publican and strongly in favor of the prohibitory liquor law was elected. Soon after, that state government was

THE BELoVED sIkvFR.

Although Brother Bryan seems to have gone back on silver to some extent, there are those whose hearts are still entirely true to it. They are as much delighted with the rise in the price of their beloved metal as President Roose- welt is when he is pleased with anything or anybody. They are especially re- joiced because this benevolent govern ment has done something for silver in the Philippines, and they have had ad- ditional joy in the reports that silver is soon going to be so valuable that the new Philippine coinage will go into the melting pot. They will not be pleased by the prediction of Colonel Edwards. chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs in the War department. Colonel Edwards thinks that until silver sells at 66 or 661z, which does not seem to him in the least degree probable. the new coinage is in no danger. He reaches this figure by counting in the expenses of transportation. melting, refining, and casting into bars. all of which go to
 make up the total cost of reducing the coinage to nerchantable shape as bull lion. 3
 Of course Colonel Edwards may not know. and silver may continue. to rise ill price. If 1t should there would be more joy in faithful breasts, the own- CTS of which have beep afraid they might die without the sight of great rise in silver.

4xornEn BooM FAD1xG.

The news comes from the West that the land boom there has reached its limit. Not much has been heard in the East about this boom, tut it has been extensive. It has been mostly in farm lands. Last year western banks were lending money heavily to land buyers, and this diversion of funds was affect ing other business. Since then there has been a change. Investors in lands are realizing on their holdings. Bank customers who bought land on borrow ed money have been selling out, the purchasers in many cases being farmers from farther East who could pay the cash they had received from the sale of their farms in their former homes. For this reason the recent land operations are not interfering very much this year with the ability of the banks to carry their customers through the strain of the fall business. Banks and private capitalists are slower now than they were about buying land for sale, per- haps startled a little by the slump in stocks in the East. All through the West there is an evident tendency to take in sail and keep sharp watch for danger signals.
 It is better to have boom fade out
 
 than to burst out, and if the West can get hack to where it belongs without ca- lamity the whole country will rejoice. There have been booms enough for awhile, and rest is needed.

 and Mississippi.
 In the early days of the drama the theatrical company that travelled from town to town in what later became known as prairie schooners" labored for the entertainment of the residents Of the frontier and the backwoods: to- day the floating theaters" of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers supply the de- mands of thousands of small river towns, where the foot of the Broadway actor has not trod. Of this latter en- terprise, w. Frank Mcclure has written an interesting account for the Pittsburg Dispatch. .r..s:+ t > E
 ''The legitimate drama aided by a call Hope and a brass band and on.board a floating theater, is this summer invad- ing 2,500 miles of towns which have seen no form of theatrical entertainment, ex- cept vaudeville, since the better days of Uncle Toms Cabin says he. '"The drama presented is Faust and this is the first time that 1t has been played in floating theater.. There is very much of interest in connection with the float ing drama, not least of which is the transformation of the deck hands into actors and vice versa.

 Science says that it is proposed to celebrate the seventieth birthday of Professor August Weismann, the chief representative of the opinion that &C., quired traits cannot be transmitted to Soffspring. It will occur on January IF, 1904. The committee has decided to have prepared for that time a portrait bust of Professor Weismann, which shall be deposited at the Geological In- stitute of the University of Freiburg with appropriate festivities. It invites cooperation in this undertaking, not only from those who owe scientific stimulus to, Professor Weissmann and have been guided by him into geological activity. but also from all colleagues who desire to Join in honoring Profess sor Weismann for his work. Contribu- tions may be sent to the Deutsche Bank, Leipsic, for the account of Pro- lessor Eur strassen, who is treasurer.
