CRUMs APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of William ID.
Crum to be collector of customs at
Charleston, S. c., was sent to the Senate
Yesterday, as stated in the Gazette OF
that day. DR.. Crum is the colorcd p""
over whose appointment there has Deen
a long and bitter controversy. lhat
controversy mag now be taken up in the
senoto,. ..srsIr. Tillman has announced his
attention. of opposing the confirmation.
The Senator said yesterday afternoon re-
garding the appointment:
80 far as this special place is con-
cerned, | cannot see that Crum has been
given the office for any other reason than
that he is a negro. Personally. | am
opposed to both negro and carpet-bagger
appointees, but as between the two
evils | select the latter. argue that
the President should not discriminate
between States in selecting Federal Off
GERS. Why, for instance, should he not
appoint negro postmaster at Cumber-
land, Nd, Harrisburg, Pa, or some
other town North. 1t is all brutal
politics in this matter. Ishall certainly
oppose Crum' confirmation"
A dispatch from Charleston, S. c.,
says: "The appointment of w. ID.
'Crum as Collector of the Port Of Charles
ton has aroused bitter feeling here
against President Roosevelt.
against Crum personally there is no
complaint. The argument made by the
business community is that he represents
nothing here save thousands of illiterate
members of his own race. The negroes
have nothing to do with the custom
house or those lines of business which go
through it. In the discharge of his
duties of collector DIR. Crum will have
to do with none other than white persons,
and they resent the appointment OF a
negro in these circumstances. Another
objection made to the appointment is
the strife it will brood between the
races. The negros of Charleston have
long received better treatment at the
hands of the whites than the negroes OF
almost any other city in the South
These kindly relations between the races,
it is feared. will be at an end now. Ii
is feared, too, that the appointment will
have such an effect upon the hordes of
uneducated and semi-barbarous negroes
with which the lover section of the
State is filled that drastic measures will
have to be resorted to to control them in
many places"

1t is reported at Lahore, India, that
the Prince of Arcot, one of the wealthy
potenates of India, has died at Delhi.
1t is asserted that Russian oil syndi-

purpose of fighting the Standard Oil

A number of prominent merchants Of

Considerable anxiety is felt regarding
the report.

The arrangements for the funeral of
former Premier Sagasta, who died yes
terday, have not yet been decided
upon. 1t is probable, however,
that the former premier will be
buried on Wednesday. King-Alfonso,
the Queen Regent and the diplomatic
corps have sent their condolences to
Sagasta's family. The fight for the
liberal leadership has begun. 1t is
probable that Senior Canalejas, whose
programme is anti-clerical, and in favor
of self government, or Senior Moret,
former minister of the interior, who is
conservatively inclined, will be chosen
for the leadership. The Queen Regent
favors Moret. 1t was the fight between
CaDalejas aud Moret for the supremacy
which prevented Premier Sagasta from
forming a stable cabinet and led to the
present conservative ministry.

THE CONTEMPT with which the pres
ent occupant of the White House is
treating the southern part of the United
States is likely to produce conditions in
this portion of the country akin to those
Of the DAYS of the so-called ku klux
clan. He has added insult to injury
by sending to the U. S. Senate the name
of another negro whom he wants to
fill the prominent and responsible posi-
ton of Collector of the Port of Charles
ton. S. c. This additional act, follow
ing so close in the wake of the high
handed procedure Of closing the post
Office of Indiancla, Miss, because the
people of that place were averse to hay
ing negro woman for postmistress, has
made most southern people realize the
froth and foam of some of their kitb
and kin who imagined they deserted on
the horizon a political millennium.
Level-headed people for several years
past have admonished these enthusiasts
and the time has come when none feel
the smart of such treatment as those
who were deluded into the belief that
the present executive would appoint
white men to federal positions in the
South regardless of their politics.
In one of his freaks he did appoint a
democrat federal judge which caused
some southern people to temporarily
lose their heads. There are many gloomy
foreboding of the outcome of the last
exemplifcation of his capriciousness,
and many fear the foisting of negroes
upon the people of the South may pro-
duce more trouble than words of protest.
For thirty-seven years the people OF
this part of the country have tolled 10
retrieve their lost fortunes. They have
followed peaceably their avocations
after having suffered from the torch,
carpetbaggers, federal bayonets and negro
rule. They have just made a transition
into better regime by throwing off one
trammel after another, and should seri-
Gus conditions follow the injustice in
which they are now being treated the
fact that it was superinduced will be
apparent and those instrumental in
precipitating them will be alone response

which blazed up. For moment the most

THE SCARCITY of anthracite coal has
moved several Senators to suggest legis-
lation to supply the deficiency and meet
existing conditions. Senator Lodge yes
terday introduced bill suspending the
duties on coal for ninety days and au-
thorizing the free entry of coal from
Canada if American coal is admitted to
the Dominion free. Senator Culberson
offered a resolution removing the duty
on coal entirely; and Senator Cullom,
on behalf of Senator Mason, presented
the latters bill which has heretofore
been discussed in the papers, providing
for the temporary operation of coal
mines by receivers in the case of strikes
among the miners. Representative
Powers, of Massachusetts, introduced a
billin the House to suspend the tariff on
all kinds of coal until November l, 1908,
and earlier in the session a number OF
democratic members of the House intro
duced bills to remove the duty on coal.
None of these bills, however, will be
passed for the simple reason that the
monopoists do not want cheaper coal and
with them it is "the people be d"

Mr.. Culberson asked for the immediate

for the admission of anthracite coal tree
of duty, Mr. Plat, of Connecticut, OBJ
