The Race Problem

The extension to the north of the
intense prejudice against, negroes
which has had so much to do with
mob violence aud lynch law cannot
fail 10 force upon the attention of
thoughtful men some of the most ser
ious phases of the race problem.
The development Of events looks as
If 1t will be impossible 10 prevent
outbreaks of race hostility so long as
a large negro population remains in
this country. The fact that there are
some 100000 persons of African
blood in abe United States and that
the race Is increasing, presents pos
sibllitir7 Of race conflict that one can
hardly dare think of.
The removal of the entire negro
population or at least "a large part of
it to Africa would be IA complete SOL
ution. This plan has found many
advocates and among them Is Sena-
tor Nor au of Alabama, one of the
ablest men in the United States sen
ate.
Whether it is practicable to induce
so large IA migration of negroes may
well be doubted but while this is
true, it Is wrong to throw this solu-
ton hippantly aside as unworthy. of
consideration are prone to do. 1t
would require an enormous move
ment to transfer even "a million peo-
pie from the United States to Africa,

Pope Plus x.

On the 18th ballot, on the
morning of the 4th inst, Cardinal
Sarato, patriarch of Venice. was
elected Pope. He took the name
of Plus y. He is a very conser-
vative man, beloved by every one,
highly intellectual and all the
powers hail his election with
much satisfaction. Following is
a short history of the new pope;
Pope Plus X, until today Car
dinal Sarto, patriarch of Venice,
is IS years old, a man of highest
piety and the greatest of living
Roman Catholic preachers. He
was made cardinal by Pope Leo
NIL. June II, 1898. He be-
louged to the ecclesiastical con-
gregation of bishops and regulars.
sacred rights, indulgences and
sacred relics. He enjoyed great
popularity in his diocese, betty
honored by all for his purity, for
the strict uprightness of his life,
and for his liberal ideas. He is "A
moderate and agreeable man.
highly cultivated, very kind
hearted man, and still strong
and robust in spite of his %
years.
The new pope has never taken
great part in the political and
public life of the church, but div
ided his time between study aud
good works. Although most
faithful to the holy see, he was
presented to the king and queen
of Italy in Venice. He vas con-
sldered among the more liberal
members of the Italian episcopate
and sacred college. 1t is stated
that Leo XIII, sided with him
on one occasion when Sarto dis
approved of Rampolla's policy.

&. 7. Clemmons returned Sat
urday evening from a trip to Pearl,
Colo, where he went to examine
into the Wolverine, one of the
copper claims belonging To the
Coldwater Mining Company. Mr..
Clemmons brought back a sack
full of ore which he took from
the lead with his own hands, and
it is now to be seen at the drug
store of Clemmons & Price.
The lead has been opened to a
depth of 65 feet, but they have
found only one wall as yet. 1t is
"A tissure vein and of unknown
width. There is a body of almost
solid sulphide ore, very similar
to the very richest ore taken from
the Ferris-H aggarty mine, which
is at present three feet in width,
the rest of the vein matter is
quite rich in copper, some of it
being pure native copper. OF
this mine Mr.. Clemmops said:
THE Wolverine is only u of,
the mining properties owned by
the Coldwater Mining Company.
1t is situated about two and "a
half miles southwest of Pearl,
and it has the best showing, to
my notion, Of any claim yet open
ed up in this entire country.
They do not know the full width
of the vein, but il is certainly
much wider than the shaft.
They have but n wall as yet.

Every one familiar with cop
per ores, who has examined the
specimens brought in by Mr..
Clemmons, pronounce them to
be very fine and equal to the
very richest ore taken from the

The Hay Crop,

Reports from different sections
of the valley are to the effect that
the hay crop is IA trihe lighter
than last year, though of excel
lent quality. There is still a
great scarcity of hay hands and
the farmers are hard put to ga
Their the crop. Many of them
have resorted to labor-saving de-
vices, such as hay-stackers,
sweeps, etc. and by this means
will be able to make machinery
do the work that was formerly
accomplished by many hands.
Two men, with teams, will now
do i'll half a day what it formerly
too six men three days to do.
This is a big percentage, in favor
of both time and expense, and it
is quite reasonable to suppose
that even these methods will be
improved on in the near future.
