There are times when the most tact
full of men are taken abaek by some
unexpected retort, says Success. such
an experience befen King Edward of
England in connection with the visit
of the South African contingent of
colonial troops to London at the ter
mination of the Boer war. One of the
Cape scouts was an unmistakable mu-
latto, with a magnificent record for
gallantry, however. The King was
reviewing the men, walking down their
extended line, and occasionally speak
ing to one of them. Opposite the COL
ored man he stopped.
And who are you, my MANI" he
asked.
I'm a niger, youah majesty"
The most tactful ruler in Europe"
was nonplussed by the unlooked-for re-
ply. But he managed to say:
Good! Then remain so, my brave
fellow" With this he passed on.

THE NEGRO IN NEW YORK CITY
pOT.ITTrS

All at once it has dawned on the
politicians of New York city that the
negro. i'm all probability holds the
balance Of power i'm the New York mu-
hicipal contest. Heretofore very little
attention has been paid to the negro
vote in that city. It was assumed by
the leaders of both parties that the
negroes would generally vote with
the Republican party, even when that
party fused with Democrats to beat
Tammany But this year the negroes
have shown signs of dissatisfaction.
very much alarmed. The Tammany
leaders have been notified that the
negroes are not pleased with Mayor
Lows administration, and that it
wouldn't require a great deal of per-
suasion or many promises to get a
large share Of the negro vote And
this vote is valuable. 1t is evident from
the canvasses that have been made
that the contest is going to be a close
one, and that If the negroes were to
go over to Tammany in considerable
numbers they might make the election
of the Tammany ticket certain.
The reason the negroes do not like
Mr.. Lows administration is that he
has not recognized them in the dis
trlbution of the offices. They say he
was glad to get their votes at the last
municipal election, and that they had
a right TO expect that they would be
given some of the offices. But even
the school director which they had
was taken from them, and when IL
was proposed to appoint some negro
women on the school boards the white
women wouldn't assent to it. The
color line was drawn and the negro
was shut out from all offices.
When Mayor Lows attention was
called TO the fact the other day that
he had not given auy OF The places
in his sfft to negroes nc said that there
must be a mistake, that he had recog-
nized them in the distribution of the
city patronage. An investigations re-
vealed the fact that he had given a
few negroes positions as doorkeepers
and spittOon cleaners. They wanted
more than that. They wanted places
OF influence-places that would give
them some sort OF social standing.
Now they are asked to support the
fusion ticket again, and they have
not made up their minds to do 1t. On
the contrary, they are thinking that
perhaps they would fare better under
a Tammahy administration and Tam
many may make them some very fair
promises.
This treatment of the negroes by the
New York Republican leaders sustains
what we have always said of the SYM
pathy which the Northern Republicans
pretend to have for the negro, They
are willing, even insistent, that he
shall have offices in the South. but
in the North their sympathy for him
is active only on election day. They
value his vote, but they don't recog-T
nize him In the distribution of the
offices.
If the negroes of New York city
should give their votes to the Tam
many ticket this year the New York
Republican leaders might be found on
the Side of those who believe that the.
ballot should be taken from the negro.

OUR DEEPER CHANNEL MOVEMENT.

In it's current issue the American Sy-
rem and Shipping has an interesting
article on Southern Harbor Improve
ments," in the course of which it says:
IF the principal Southern ports which
ship, cotton, lumber and naval storos
in large quantities had two more feet
Of water in their channels than exists
to-day, vessels would make lower rates
for freightage. We'have noted that dur
ing this year accounts of the ground
ings of one. hundred, and eighty ships
in Southern ports" .,t-.
Savannah in the very near future,
will have two more feet of water in her
harbor that is. she win have twenty
eight feet. She has more water than
most Southern ports, and it is very
seldom that a ship gets aground in her
barber, but what she wants is chan
mel of thirty feet. When she has that
she will be able to command such
cheap freights that she will be, the
Shipping port for much larger terri
tory than she is at present.
1t is evident, however, that she must
prepare herself to do some hard work
in Congress and elsewhere in order to
yet am appropriation. fora thiFty-foot
channel. In all parts of the country
there are movements having for their
object government aid for seaport har-
bors and inland waterways. - On Tues
day there assembled Il convention In
New Orleans for the purpose of appeal
ing for government aid to build levees
on both banks of the Mississippi river,
and this movement has the indorse
ment. OF the President. To accomplish
such work will require many millions
of dolars-just how many millions no
one can say at this time.
This Mississippi levee movement has
the influence of eleven states back of
1t. and there is no doubt that it will
make an impression on Congress. 1t is
evident, therefore. that in order for
Savannah to get what she wants, not
only must her people do an immense
amount of work. but she must enlist
the sympathy and support of her own
state and of the states which regard
ner as their seaboard outlet. She can
accomplish what she has undertaken,
but she can accomplish it only by in
telligent and untiring work. Her COM
merce has increased to such an. extent
within, the last few years that she has
an unanswerabIe argument in support
of her demand for thirty-foot channel
to the sea.

PLIGHT OF TWO GIRLS.


DES MONIES, July 29.-Clad in lace and
lingerie, the Misses Luella Cotter and Olive
Arther, each aged about eighteen, bound
for Omaha from Minneapolis. stopped the
Minneapolis and st. Louis flyer as it was
spinning on it's way to Des Moines at 3
o'clock Tuesday morning. With tears in
their eyes they pleaded with the conductor
to stop the train when it had almost
reached KalO and back all the way to Fort
Dodge in order to place them on the Omaha
sleeper, which contained the remaining
portion of their wardrobe.
The train arrived at the Union Station
just as the Illinois Central passenger
started for Omaha. The train was tagged
and the two sleepers backed close together.
Through the hidden confines of the vesti-
buIes the two young women then slipped to
their own berths in the Omaha sleeper.
They said that, arising to perform early
morning ablutions. they had found the toilet
compartment in their sleeper locked. They
therefore went into the car beyond. The
Omaha sleeper from Minneapolis is set off
by the Minneapolis and ST. Louis train at
Fort Dodge and taken up by the Illinois
Central. The young women did not know
they had been started for Des Moines on
the Minneapolis and st. Louis until they
started back for their own sleeper and
found Ii gone.
