The efforts of ornIthologlsts to differen- tiate between the various varieties of hawks and to show that some of them are real friends of the farmer instead of be. ing enemies, will have as little effect as does the efforts of entomologists to prove that certain mosquitoes are harmless. With the farmer. a hawk is a hawk. to be shot on sight. and with all of us. tho natural propensity is to slap a mosquito without waiting to be bitten. No doubt there are some hawks which subsist en- tirely on rats. mice, moles and other ver- min. but if a farmer sees hawk hover ing over his barn-yard and waits to get his book and read up on birds, he may lose a fat chicken. Science and knowl- edge are all right. but the poultry raiser doesn't like to take chances.

rHE REAsoN ror Ir.

The uproar occasioned in the large ne- gro church in Boston when Booker Wash ington tried to speak there about two :, weeks ago has caused certain amount of perplexity at the South. But the real explanation of the outbreak against Washington is becoming more clearly un- derstood.
 The trial of the leaders of the disturb ance has resulted in their conviction. The courts have not stopped with merely the fining of the offenders. They have been sent to jail. The presence of conspiracy seems to have been we'll established; and the fact that the guilty were men of edu- cation has only added to the gravity of their crime.
 The ring-leaders were the editors and employees of a negro paper which has been fighting Washington and his meth ods since its inception. Their objection to his leadership is partly due to the jealousy felt by many Northern negroes that a Southern negro should be gener- ally recognized as the lender of the race. Their resentment is also due to the fact that Washington has constantly laid the emphasis of his teaching on the necessity for industrial training rather than upon academic learning or political prefer ment But the chief ground of their ob- jection to the Tuskegee educator lies in his attitude toward the South.
 There is clique of negroes at the North, particularly in Philadelphia, Bos- ton, and Washington, whose dominant earthly passion is hatred of the South. They regard every interest of the South with malice akin to madness. Some of those who share this feeling are merely the victims of an ignorant inheritance. Some of them have been run out of the South for offenses against law and order. But whatever the basis of their own fren- zy, they are violently opposed to any negro who does not share 1t. The fact that Washington is able to live in the South is, with them, enough to bring him under suspicion. The fact that Wash ingtcn's work has been so largely ap- proved is enough to change suspicion into hostility. The fact that Washington has always refused to join in the wild clamor of their anti-southern propaganda and has steadily urged the advisability of good will between both sections and both races has not only changed suspicion into hostility, but has converted hostility into battle.
 The battle has been on for two or three years. Most of it goes on behind the scenes in tine columns of the negro press. The Boston outbreak was simply skir- mish in the open. It took form so bru- tai and disreputable that it has rather strengthened Washington's hands among the better and worthier people of his race Such an attack. made for such reasons. is not likely to hurt him among the white people of the South.

MOBILE OUTER BAR.
Will Engage to Give Deep Water in
 Six Months.

Six Months.
 A guest of the New Willard, who was in an especially good humor last even- ing was MT. Rittenhouse Moore. of Mo- bile. Ala, who is widely known in the South. says the Washington Post. MT. Moores satisfaction arose from the fact that he had during the day closed a con- tract with the United States govern ment whereby he agreed to procure a depth of thirty feet on the bar in the harbor of Mobile.
 This improvement will give a great impetus" he said. ito the large shipping trade our city now enjoys. The work will be completed in about six months, and then we will not again be humiliat- ed as we were little while ago by the inability of the Alabama to get into the bay. Mobile is one of the solid towns of the South. and while not so very long go 1t wore an air of desolation as though making swift and lengthy strides to- ward the metropolitan goal. No place, South or North. will derive greater ben eft from an isthmian canal. It has now a bigger trade with Cuba than any other American city except New York. It has a larger fruit trade than New Orleans and ships from all over the world come to it for lumber.
 Among the municipal Improvements is the work of street paving now in pro- gress which involves the use of asphalt and vitrified brick, both in business and residential sections. For years we la bored under the disadvantage of having about the most miserable streets of any city in the country. but that reproach will soon be thing of the past"

Why Vest Never Knew Conklinr.

Senator Vest in Saturday Evening Post.
 As l was returning to my seat from the clerks desk where I had taken the oath, my, colleague, General Cockrell, we never spoke to each other afterwards. Although he was made chairman of the Committee on Commerce in 1Sll, when the Republicans obtained control of the committee, our intercourse at the only meeting of the committee over which he presided was limited to my addressing him as Mir. Chairman and his recogni- tion of me as the Senator from Missouri. There was never any antagoniSm between us except general disagTeements on po- litical questions, but an incident occur red on the day after l entered the Sem ate which fixed my relations with Sena- tor Conkling.
 On the morning of the second days ses- sion of the Senate Senator Jones of Louisiana and myself were sitting in the Democratic cloak room listening to Sem ator John s. Williams of Kentucky, known in that State as "Cerro Gordo'' Williams, who was relating to us some of his war experiences, when Senator Conkling entered the room on his way 10 the Senate Chamber. On seeing him, Senator Williams, who was a typical Kentucky gentleman of the old school lin the day before. said, Good morning, Senator Conkling," at the same time eX- tending his hand. Instead of accepting the hand or making any reply Conkling slightly inclined his head and. waving aside the hand of Williams strode into the Senate. leaving all of US in a state of profound astonishment Williams gag ed after him with a look of puzzled ashmaEement. am and said to me, What is that man Intended to insult me?''

 Washington Post.
 Mir. John R. Zimmerman, late uphoI- sterer and cabinet maker of the United State Senate for so many years enjoyed association with the great men of the Senate. inasnuch as 1t was ms duty to provide comfortable seats in the northern chamber of the Capitol. and at times re- ago, when asked about a special chair that he had to provide for the late Sen ator David Davis. of Illinois. who came to The great chair for Senator Dixon H. Lewis of Alabama who weightd 450 pounds, was brought into the Senate very large man. Senator Davis was shown the seat that had been provided for him. He looked at the huge seat for a moment and then turned away in dis gust remarking at the same time:
 T don't care for sofa to sit on; when lie down I will go to the cloakroom No, that will not do,' continued the great Illinois Senator.
 '''The Lewis chair was moved away and another made, which you will find in the Senate Judiciary Committee room" re- marked MT. Zimmerman. The impress ator Davis occupied the Lewis chair. and it was not until the Worlds Fair at Chl- cago in 1893 that the matter was cleared Lewis chair for exhibition as the one used by the Senator from Illinois. It was soon learned that it was not the one used by Mr. Davis. and placed aside. The Lewis chair was returned. and is now in the custody of the Senate cabinet looms." In his observations MT. Zimmerman said: There came a number of large men to the Senate, and we had to look out for their comfort. Senator Davis was per haps the largest. whie Senator William Malone of Virginia was the smallest. He dh weighed: : ] think, ninety seven pounds man l have ever seen.'

TEE PEOPLE LIKE IT.

fThe public likes to be humbuggcd," or something like that was said by Barnum, who was postmaster in the art of get- ting something for nothing. His wooliy horse, his Joyce Heth, his mermaid, his wild man of Borneo and various other fakes were eagerly viewed by thousands and millions of easy citizens who freely parted with their money and enjoyed the pleasure of being beatifuIly humbugged. And Barnum's example has borne fruit and been followed by other showmen of easy consciences. It has not been great many years since a circus passing through the country advertised as one of It's chief attractions "a monster octo- pus." and the wording of the notice left the impression that 1t was huge living specimen of the animal Members of the octopus family are not plentiful in this region, and there were thousands of peo- pie who travelled miles and paid thc,r money to gaze on the rare visitor. They saw an imitation octopus, evidently made of plaster. spread out in a box, with ten- tacles live or six feet long, the whole thing being a dead swindie. But the fake paid.
 few nights ago thousands of people in San Francisco paid their m oney to see two brutes go through what was really fax prize-figbt. The published reports state that about $62, 900 went into the cash box. and it is fair to infer that many oth- CT thousands went in the way of bets. Corbett got over $lo,OOo for going through the motion" of being knocked out, which is enough to enable him to get back into the saloon business and live without work The whole thing seems to have been disgusting fake, but the class of people who like such disreputable performa1ices got rid of their money and got as much for 1t ac they deserved.
 Will the result teach anything? We doubt 1t very much. It will not be long till some other loud-mouthed savages will arrange another exhibition of gall and graft. and there will be plenty of people to throw away their money to witness the show. Perhaps it is a good thing that money should change hands, and pos- sibly some of it may go where 1t will do some good. People are always ready to be humbugged, and 1t may as we'll go one way as another.

The Outer Bar to be u---snsd.

Mobile Register.
 Mobilans will rejoice to learn that Mir. Rittenhouse Moore has closed contract with the government for the deepening of the outer bar of Mobile bay to thirty feet. Although Congress appropriated $50O00 for this work, there has not been available sea-going dredge with which the dredging could be done; and invita- tions for bids on the part of private per sons to contract to do the woik met with no favorable response. The prosDect therefore. of anything doing at an carly date was considered very indefinite MT Moore. however, has the reputation of be- ing able to do things, and as he has en- tered into contract, it is safe to say that the deepening of the outer bar will begin soon and be soon ended. 1t is no very great work save by reason of the eXpos- ure of the dredge engaged in doing it. When compl:ted we shall have deep channel leading from the gulf to the deep est harbor on this coast. This harbor is connected with the river of Mobile and the city by a canal that has now twenty three feet depth, and Is in course Of i'm provement that will give a bottom width of 100 feet and practical depth of some 70 feet Vessels loading to that depth here, and without ballast, will, after talk ing on water ballast in lower bay, cross the outer bar at twenty-eight feet draft perhaps twenty-nine. This will give Mo- bile as favorable a depth of water as is had anywhere along the coast.
 It will mean a wonderful Improvement In port facilities and a correspondingly wonderful increase in our commerce.
