SARDINES ARE SHY
The French Catch, This Year, Is a
49,. Practical Failure. -. =,
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service =. p
washington, Sept. 10.-There has been
another failure in the French sardine
catch. In discussing this subject in re-
port to the department Of commerce and
labor, Consul Ridgely, at Nantes France,
says: II have to report another bad
year for the French sardine industry, of
which Nantes is the center Of trade.
Two reasons are ascribed for the failure
Of the famous little fish to appear in their
equal plentitude. The first Of these is the
excessively cold spring and summer, and
the second is the scarcity and high price
of Goldfish roe, which fishermen use for,
bait In attracting and holding the sardines
on the fishing grounds. The situation in
this respect is quite the same as last
year, and much encouragement has been
felt in consequence among the thousands
of fishermen and packers who exploit the
industry" - "

Employees OF Grand Trunk System May
Force Strike.
Chicago, Sept. 10.--At a secret meeting
Of employees Of the Grand Trunk railway
system yesterday a complete tieup Of the
road was threatened unless the demands
for an increase Of wages. and other con-
cessions, are granted within ten days.
Favoritism for British over American
employees, enforced work of Sundays and
holidays without any pay, and lower wages
than any of the competing roads are some
of the grievances of the men.
Trouble has been brewing between the
American employees and the management
of the road for several months. 1t came
to a head yesterday when the secret
meeting was held and representatives were
present from Buffalo, Boston, New York,
Portland and other cities. To the re-
peated demands Of the men evastve
answers had been made, and 1T was de-
cided to force the road into either grant
ing the demands or precipitating a long
drawn-out strike by refusing them.

BLAZE AWAY AT THE SOUTH.


A few OF the Northern and Eastern
papers are taking serious offense at
the attitude OF the South upon the ne.
gro question and are condemning as
the most reprehensible kind Of cam,
paign fabrication what in reality is
very mild. sane discussion and very
high order OF truth.
Southern journalists and Southern
people as whole have not gone Wild
over the conspicuous mistakes made
by Mr. Roosevelt; nor have they once
forsaken their high dignity OF charac.
ter to asperse the hasty and uninform.
ed critics who have grossly misrepre.
sented them and their relations to the
negro. But that they have felt and do
feel the gross injrstice OF certain ON.
cial acts and the many unfair criti.
cisms consequent upon their prote SITS
is wholly true.
~ Naturally enough the South has
'adiscussed and win continue to disCuss
the momentous problem which its
tranquility has been threatened and
which Is inseverably linked with
Southern destiny; yet IL is wrong to
say that Southern passions have been
infiamed 10 the point OF violent race
prejudice, 20 accuse the South OF op-
preston and injustice to the negro
and TO paint as enemies the two races
which have never dwelt IN other than
peaceful relations.
There is only shallow falsehood in
the EFFORT TO make an outcry of pref.
dice out Of sane, moderate utterances
OF the Southern people in defense OF
themselves.
Tie Roosevelt commentators. these
very journals OF the East and North
which have no more comprehension Of
Southern affairs than the small Geor-
gia weekly has OF Wall street. are
themselves responsible for whatever
"ltical capital is being made Of the
misht and non-representative negro
appointments; and, whether involun.
tarily or through malice and design,
these papers have accomplished more
toward the political ruin of Mr.. Roose-
welt than has the entire Southern
press
Let them make what profit they can
out OF the prolonged discussion. Fire
away at the South. 1t will respond,
and will suffer nothing by the ex-
change, On the contrary. the misin.
formation, bitter criticism and half,
baked philosophy of these papers tend
simply to develop the South's political
strength.-St Louis Republic.
