A general exodus of negroes from
Louisiana and Mississippi is causing
the negro population of this state 70
increase rapidly. The cause OF the
exodus is attributed in Mississippi to
the coming Inauguration of Gov. Var

troubles which have been given so
much prominence in the daily papers.

Should Russia AID Japan go to war
over Corea. another turn Of fortune
might come to Lehigh j.. Hunt, the
American who Is now confidential ad-
wiser TO the king of Corea. says the New
York Sun.
He has already had more exceptional
experiences than fall to most emen.
After having thrice met with financial
disaster and thrice Cancelled ell obligc-
tons against him, he is said 20 possess
now a fortune OF sl5,Go0.CO0, besides
holding the post already referred to-.
He was born at Columbia City, Ind.
and for years taught in the public
schools Of Iowa. He often wrote poetry
that was published in the state papers.
From Mt. Pleasant he went to Des
Moines, where he was superintendent OF
schools. Next he was elected president
Of the state agricultural college at Ames,
Iowa.
In the early sos he vent to Seattle.
where he raised money by organizing a
stock company. and purchased the Daily
POst-lntelligcnce, paying $4,000 Cor the
plant. 1t was not long before it became
one OF the strongest and most lnfiuen-
tial newspapers on the Pacific coast.
1t was the medium through which
Seattle made its boom, and the city was
greatly indebted to Hunt for the rapid
strides 1t made.
Hunt became identified with many in
terests in and about Seattle. He was
nraciaant nf m la l. nnl firapfnr In
half a dozen financial institutions. He
was interested in most of the railways
on the coast and an acknowledged pO'
litical leader.
A seat in the United States senate
was offered to him at one time.
In the financial crash Of 1893 he me-
with losses and went from Seattle ow'
ing 81 200, 900. He sent word TO his cred
itors that he would return and pay every
dollar with compound interest.
He crossed the continent and wen
to New York, where he fell in with som
wealthy men who sent him to- China t
build a railroad.
Here he was again in hard luck. 70
after his arrival the Chinese rescinde,
the cOncesslOHNtudl Hau DeeH granted u
the American syndicate.
After a few months, in which tim
he learned much of value to himsel
from the Chinese, he went to Corea. an,
In some way became acquainted wit

to assist young women and those old
in years to withstand temptations to
enter the marriage state" Women in
symposiums are informing the public
why they have or have not married,
whether they would marry II they had
a chance. and what they would expect
from the weak and unfortunate part
ner II they cid marry.
Out Of al the ferment something
ought to come for the improvement of
the domestic economy. Perhaps its ar
rival would be expedited if professional
reformers would give the plain, practi-
cal people a chance, and young maids
and old maids would let the matrons
express their views as to making home
happy and bringing up children prop
erly Perhaps even the marital condi-
tons might be improved if, instead OF
c%ultivating Indifference to men and dis
couraging them. the woman of the day
should encourage them and let them
manage themselves. or at least believe
they are SO doing. which is Just as we'll.
Perhaps then there would be fewer
divorces and less marital unrest.
Homes might be happier. Fewer hus-
bands might be driven into the clubs
and fewer women might take to the
highball and the cigaret, which, accord
ing to Mrs. Elizabeth Bacon Walling
and Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, are now
causing the gentler sex to degenerate.
In the midst of all this agitation now

THE T

Some have advocated the placing Of
the Carnegie public library in the court
house square, but The Republican is of
the opinion that candid consideration
of the question will decide otherwise.
While it is a beautiful place, it should
not be crowded with another building.
Again, it is a little too far removed
from the center of trade and business.
There is also a good deal of sentiment
in the matter Of locating such a build
ing In the court house yard. The jail
is there and we do not know just when
We may be called upon to execute a
man there. 1t has been done. Scat.
folds and library buildings do not go
together. The people of this county
can well afford to give the library
building a nice home of its own. We
sincerely hope the idea of locating 1t
in the court house square will be aban.
