A BLIGHT TO THE SOUTH.

Walter FL. Page, editor of World S
Work, made splendid hit the other
day in a speech at Mont Clair, N. j.
He said:
1.-THE coming of the negro was the
misfortune, the Unreasonable misfor-
tune,- of the white man. The fault
was not the white mans. Yet not
the less was the misfortune far
reaching, irreparable. Had it not
been for that the south, that vast re-
gion reaching from Virginia, through
Texas. would not only have progressed
as the west has progressed, but ii
would have bloomed with all the
flowers of the highest civilization.
1.-the coming of the negro arrested
the progress of the white man, it was
the only reparable mistake of our fore
fathers. The negro alone has been
the beneficiary of his coming to us.
In no country in the world is his con-
dition so good or his prospect so bright
as here in our country"
Speaking OF. the present condition Of
the negro, Mr.. Page said half the ne
gro populatin of the south today
would not be permitted to enter the
country under the immigration laws

WHATIT MEANS.

The Meridian Star of recent date
says:
THE people of Newton town and
county are coming into their own at
last. The arrival there this week of
railroad contractor and a lrage
number of men and the letting of the
contract for the building of eleven
miles Of road north and south, means
great things for the future of that Sec
ton. The road will split Newton
county wide open from north to south
it will improve farm values at least
one million dollars within the first
twelve months after trains are run
ming; ssit will add three 70 four or
five progressive, thriving towns to
Newton county; it will mean utiliz-
ing at . profitable rate millions of
feet of magnificent timber that cannot
now reach market; it will mean the
reduction in the expense account of
every farmer along the line of that
road in proportion to the rate of trans
portation by rail and by wagon lit
will mean the influx of thousands of
people during the next ten years to
settle the country, to operate sawmills
to grow fruit and vegetables for the
Mobile and Memphis markets and to
add to the wealth Of Mississippi. =
But the Star did not go far enough

with its meaning. 1t means that
the larger portion of the trade Of
Newton, and counties west, will be
cut off from Meridian, on which Meri-
dian has been depending for 10 these
many years for its existence. 1t means
that Meridian will have to build a
railroad to tap this road and build
other roads of its own if it expects
much local trade at all. 1t means
that it must either do this or it must
go down into its jeans for the capital
with which to build hundred per
cent more manufacturing industries.
There is considerable meaning in the
construction of this road that does not
mean altogether good for Meridin.

The smart set of New York can
have the attendance of all the colored
cake walkers at their gatherings they
may desire and hug them to their
hearts content in the social whirl,
but such scene will never be wit
messed in the south. Just the other
day some of the northern women at
temped to have at social gathering
in New Orleans the presence of lot
of the dusky damsels, but the south
ern women, members of the same
national council of suffragists, said
nay, and the nays had it. These
northern women certainly had poor
opinion of the southren women or
they were very ignorant of the we'll
drawn line Of social equality in the
southern states. 1t must have been
the latter, but if so they should re-
turn home and never mention it to a
living soul.

P0PULIST PARTY COMPLETELY

Jackson, March S0.-The populist
party has disappeared as completely
from Mississippi as though the earth
had opened friendly hole and swal
lowed it. No attempt will be made to
put out candidates by the remnants
of the party this year, and county,
district and state organizations have
practically disbanded. The ablest
leaders have deserted the cause, the
last to return to the ranks of democ-
racy being Hon. Frank Burkitt, who
was the national candidate for vice.
president ON the middle-of -the-road
ticket, and even DR.. Pruett, who
made the race for governor in 1900 is
said to have quietly slipped back into
the democratic ranks. The strong
hold of populism was in the northeast
ern central counties of Mississippi
where Messre. Fox and Critz are now
battling for supremacy, and it is
learned that all the former members
of Che party are move allied on one
side or the other of this fractional
struggle, and displaying as much en-
tiusiasm as though they had never
wandered from the democratic fold.

THE UNION PROBLEM.

Just at present the labor union pro-
blem is about to overshadow the negro
problem, for this is something that
goes down into mans pocketbook,
| and when that is tenched his whole
soul moves. Unionism is good
| thing, but it has been abused. 1t is
not what it was intended to be and
never will be again until all the bad
features are pared off and it is taken
in charge by men who have the good
| of the fellow-man at heart. Powd-
| erly was once the greatest agitators
of unionism this country ever had and
his word was law and gospel. By his
word or motion of the hand he could
cause thousands of men, and did cause
them, to pull off their working
clothes and 60 out on strike and
caused the utter ruin of thousands of
Woodworking men and the almost
starvation of their families. His
idea was to combat capital with la
Dor, and he was successful to a very
large extent, though he caused untold
suffering among the laboring classes
while it was not drop in the bucket
| towards hurting capitalists or injur-
| ing their business Where is Powd-
erly? We understand that he is at the
head of one of the biggest concerns in
the country, owned by capitalists,
of which he is one with millions in
his pockets. He feathered his nest
| and retired, leaving the field for some
one else to take and do likewise. Here
| is where unionism was failure be-
cause too much trust was put into the
hands of one man.
But unionism is splitting against
| the wind in other ways. Unin labor
ers are striking every day caused, in
| fifty per cent of the cases, of imagin
airy grievances, and this is becoming
so frequent that capitalists, the men
who furnish the employment for the
| millions and put bread into the mouths
of five times as many more are becom-
| ing tired and disguised. Not many
years ago not a colored man was to be
found employed on train in the
south. But there was strike of the
white railroad men and every train is
now run by negroes excepting the con-
| ductor and engineer, and out of the
| two to three hundred white men who
worked in the railroad machine shops
nearly all the laborers are now ne
groes. This is where uunionism made
another failure.
But this is not ALL The northern
states are worse effected with the mis-
takes of unionism than the south and
capitalists there are becoming very
| tired of it. The Stark mills of Man.
chester, N. j. perhaps one of the lar
gest cotton mills in the New, England
states, employing 1900 hands with a
weekly payroll of $40, 900, propose to
| pull up stakes soon and comee south
on account of the constant agitation
of the unions of that stats and section,
and others will follow, so it is stated.
These enterprises may or probably
would run up against the negro pro-
blem in the south if there was such a
thing, but this would be better a
| Thousand times to the labor agitation
with which they have had to contend
the past few years and which is grow
ing worse every year. The south vel
comes the northern manufacturing in
dustries and all the laborers and even
their unions, but we most earnestly
implore them to leave their labor
agitation at home.

FASHIONS AT NEWPORT
Yachting Gowns: Afternoon ard Even
ing Dresses: Stylish Hats.

In all it's glory the yachting gown is
made in material designed to face wind
and weather, such vision lately greeted
the fortunate ones who accompanied a
blonde visitor from the far west on a
sail inaugurated by her hostess, Mrs.
Aston. 1t was made in finest white
cloth, the skirt laid in box plaits and
showing a wide band of blue silk
around the lower portion. The waist
was in blue silk to match and over it
was worn a jaunty short jacket of
cloth finished in blue. The sleeves had
each Il deep puff of blue chiffon on the
lower portion. Pastel shades are reck-
oned very stylish, even in this era of
whiteness and fine serge is sometimes
chosen and mohair as we'll. Linen
comes in such variety, the homespun
and striped styles being readily mis-
taken for WOOL that it is seen at times
and both this ubiquitous material and
the high class goods first mentioned,
are often made with long coats. Bath
ing dresses worn by wealthy women.
are preferably now of taffeta silk made
over a lining of thin WOO and fancy
kerchiefs, jauntily arranged. replace
oil silk caps, SO that fairly good look
ing bather, may vary her charms when
seen as a water nymph.
Afternoon dresses both at Newport
and Saratoga are often elaborate as
those for evening and a lovely gown
worn lately at 4 lawn party given in
the latter place, was of pale pink pom
gee made with three folds set on the
lower part of the skirt, large dropping
sleeves with white lace cuffs and revers
to correspond on the waist. The yoke
was of white mousseline: hat of pink
chiffon trimmed with daisies. Another
dress worn at an evening party in a
private villa, by a young matron, was
of white chiffon trimmed with a wide
bertha of lace headed by black velvet;
double fiounces to match. thu upper one
headed also by black velvet. An after
noon gown worn on a drive at Newport
by young matron of the Vanderbilt
family, was of pastel blue cloth finished
with satin bands of a darker shade, the
long, tight fitting coat to correspond:
blouse of white lace. stock collar of
satin fastened by a buckle on the left
side; hat of white lace trimmed with
pastel blue satin and long blue ostrich
feather.
In millinery, seen at both resorts
mentioned, elegant examples are in fine
embroidered white muslin edged with
lace. the latter falling over the face
with fine, softening effect and an ex-
ample in this style, showed d trimming
of forget-me-nots. Despite, moreover.
