CRISIS ON RACE QUESTION.

An old reformer, OF national reputation,
writes us as follows:
"To me, it looks like this country
is facing crisis on the colored question and
the labor question that is likely to end in blood

and South is being famed into flame again.
can see evidences of it cropping out in many
places. 1t was plainly visible in the Confeder-
ate reunion recently at New Orleans. 1t all
comes from the Rooseveltian policy of bluff
and buster"
The old reformer is correct. President Roose-
Welt has done more to renew the bitter feeling
between the North and South than any other
agency since the old "carpet-bag" days.

Imported to Eat Insects, They Are
Now Exported For Money.
Hawaii has commenced exporting
frogs to the mainland says the Homo
lulu correspondent Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The industry, which was start
ed at first to rid the islands of pests,
has now become paying one.
Frogs were introduced into Hawaii
only few years ago by the agricultu-
raj department to get rid Of insect pests
which were injurious to vegetation.
Later a Hilo man imported six dozen
for breeding purposes. From the latter
stock the frogs now exported have
come. Shipments Of 1000 frogs month
are now being made to San Francisco
and will be increased for the supply
does not now equal the demand.
Many Of the frogs are also sent to
Honolulu for hotel use. They sell for
81 dozen in Hilo.

GUILTY WILL BE PUNISHED.
Maxim Pasha live .igating Recent
Disorde S.

Paris, Sept. H. Adyices received
by the French foreign Office from Bel
rut say that Nazim Pasha, the vail Of
Syria, is making a thorough investiga-
ton of the causes of the recent dis
order at Beirut and that he has given
assurances to the foreign consuls that
he will severely punish the guilty.
Under the circumstances, it is added,
the French, British and italian con-
suls have decided not to ask for the
landing of American marines as, con-
trary to the Constantinople advices,
the excitement has subsidized and the
Christian refugees who fed are re-
turning to their homes.
The investigation thus far made in
to the outbreak has shown that the po-
lice participated in looting the shops,
the former vail, Reshid Pasha, being
unable to control the police.

The man found dead near Clyde has
