Orderly Baseball Crowds.

The vast throngs which are attending baseball games in Montgomery reflect un-
 told credit on the city by their behavior and order.
 Heretofore it has been an unusual thing in Montgomery for large numbers of la dies to attend baseball games, but in the
 real initiation game played here when
 ladies were present they were assured of orderly conduct on the part of the crowd has been growing.
 Montgomery affords the most orderly crowds at ball games of any city I ever saw" remarked a lover of sports yes- terday, and he was no doubt correct.

in all the states of the south, and prob ably will put an end to other test cases. If so, it is believed that 1t will have far-reaching effect for good in the whole country and go far toward the settlement of the so-called negro problem. It simply means that the southern people are the agency through which the question of the negros fu- ture can be solved, and that the first step toward satisfactory settlement is to be found in disfranchisement. It means that the negro must first be eliminated from politics. That ac- complished, the white people of the south can seek, by industrial develop ment, the betterment of the black race, which shall not only rebound to the advantage of the colored people, but the whites of the south as we'll.

The most likely cause of gold ex- ports is the falling off in nmerchandise exports, which in April left us trade balance of only $21, ,S0o,0O0, against $33, 300, ,OOO in April, 1902, and $44, ,oOO,- GOO in April, 1901, says Banker Clews. This continued shrinking trade balance is one of the most unwelcome signs of the times, and cannot be overlooked. For the ten months of the fiscal year the excess of imports was the smallest in several years, being only 359 mil lions against 435 millions in 1901 and 5S4 millions in 1900. This shifting of the balances is entirely due to heavy importations. Our exports are almost up to record figures, while imports have far surpassed all previous levels in consequence of the great trade ac- tiVity at home and of our temporary inability to supply the demand for some manufactured articles.

TUESDAY MAY 1e, 1903.

Up here it seems a bit cheeky for that Bridgeport police board to try to dictate to Mayor Mulvihill. It was brought out at the hearing yesterday M the Park city that the board has re- fused to confer with the mayor for more than year. It looks as though some of the Brfdgeporters, Allan w. Paige included, were trying to put the mayor in a wrong light before the peo- pie. The mayor for the sake of peace gave up some of his rights, which his friends were sorry to see him do. It is all well enough for the sheriff to flare up and bluster, but business is busi- ness, and Rugged Honesty Mulvihill" will probably be found doing business at the old stand when some of those who were foremost in pinning him down yesterday will be lost in the tall timbers.

American commerce, after a period
 Of foreign expansion that astonished our citizens fully as much as it start. led those of European countries. sud- denly finds itself face to face with top- bling exports. Not only is there an al- most unprecedented falling off of or ders for machinery from Europe, says an exchange, but we are once more importing pig iron instead off sending 1t abroad. This becomes possible again in our history because our mar velous prosperity abroad was caused largely by the re-equipment of the factories, foundries, mines and ma chine shops with American machinery. enabling Europe to-day to, manufacture cheaply American tools and commodi- ties, even to our name plates on inn plements of all kinds. equal in every respect to the original article which they now supplant everywhere, be- cause owing to our lack of foreign banking facilities and lax methods of business in securing and holding for eign trade, we fail to hold against those we have enabled to compete with us for the markets of the world.

The mayor of city has no cinch of job at time such as Bridgeport is now passing through, and like Wa teEbury had few months ago. Here in Waterbury the mayor was "cussed" and denounced for not taking off his coat and getting into the thick of the fight. Tn Bridgeport Mayor Mulvihill is being swatted right and left for mix ing with the throng and getting his headgear crushed, in an effort to dis perse the crowd and quell the disturb ance. And yet the root of the evil is patted on the back and lauded to the skies. If this foreign corporation which has such pudding" in several Connecticut cities could be made to disgorge some of its earnings for the benefit of it's help there would be no trouble. If the workers for the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Go were paid wages enough, or the workers for any other concern for that matter, there would be no strikes. Men Will often put up with long hours and other inconveniences if they only get what +hev need to live decently on in the form of wages. Until these corpora lions do this we are bound to have strikes and an, occasional riot perhaps. ..Monev is the root of all evil" 'tis said, hut it is also capable of doing a great deal of good if distributed property

NO COLOR LINE IN MUSIC.
A Southern Tribute to the Melodies of
 the Darkies.

A Southern Tribute to the Melodies of
 the Darkies.
 Those who have charge of the local arrangements for the Confederate re- union at New Orleans very properly want music, and called for twenty bands. The bands of the city all be- long to a union, and some of them are composed of colored people. To SUD- ply the twenty bands called for makes it necessary to include some, at least, of the negro artists, and this the local managers object to. They have been notified by the union that unless they accept the negro bands along with the white they can march without music.
 Where the objection to the colored musicians can come in we fail to sec They will only be employed for their music and nothing more, and we ven- ture to say they will furnish more real ly inspiring, heart-liftfng music, than all the other bands-composed of for eigners as they are-ever dreamed of, and more reaching after the southern heart.
 , Why, the southern negro melodies are the only distinctive American mu- sic to-day. And when did southern people cease employing the colored band, string or footing instrument, or both, for their strictly social func- tions? We have danced all night till 1 broad daylight and gone home with the girls in the morning to the inspiring strains of Old Frank Johnson and Pom pey Long, and they have successors who are quite as responsive to demands upon them. ] If our belles and beaux can afford to 1 step to the music of colored bands we old veterans can afford to march to the strains of "Dixie" or the "Mocking Bird" or the "Suwanee Ribber," when rendered by our own southern darkies, and if any one on earth ever threw his soul into his music it is our south ern negro when he is glorying halle juah, touching the light guitar or toot- 1 ing a familiar southern melody on a horn. Let the committee on arrange ments go on with its business. The old vets are willing for the sons of their old plantation darkies to make music for them anywhere.-Raleigh Post '.

NEED OF COOKING SCHOOLS.

First the diagnosis; second, the pre- scription. A preacher said recently that one of the greatest cause of prl- yation in this country was to be found in the wastefullness of American household management. The wire or the American workingman wastes fuel, food and clothing. She feeds her nre too freely, she prepares her meals too lavishly, she dresses herself and her family too expensively. In all that she does there IS an unfortunate surplus age which she throws into the back yard, but which, if utilized scientific cally, would considerably raises her standard of comfort.
 The truth of this charge against workingmen and their wives will be admitted, at least in part, by labor leaders, by charity workers. and by all other people who have dealings With representatives of the laboring class. Extravagance is an American charac- teristic and is to be found in Bridge port as we'll as in Newport. There can be no doubt about it that ordinary in come of the ordinary American work ing family could be made to yield a much larger amount of comfort and satisfaction than Is at present the case. But why stop with the diagnosis Why not go on to the prescription The diagnosis is "wastefulness." The prescription will be education" The cause of wastefulness. besides human nature-which in sciology occupies about the same position that friction does in mechanics-is ignorance. Do- l nestle economy Is the prospective 1ife- work of the girls in a laboring class district. What preparation do our public school give girls for this life work? A preparation which is at best scrappy and inadequate. The curric- culum which was originallydevised for the European leisure class is projected, with a few omissions and additions | into modern American laboring com munity, and the result is that future household managers get a faint 'tinge 1 of exotic culture and a large white blank of information in regard to 1 household arts and duties.
 Why pretend any longer that cooking is an Accomplishment" which can be picked up''? The slightest acquaint- ance with the ordinary American home will show that cooking has not been ''picked up'' satisfactorily and that | there is only one way in which a stop can be put to the wastefulness of which the preacher speaks and to the lInpalatableness and unwholesomeness which are even more destructib1e. That way is practical instruction.-Chi | Tribune.

HAD FIVE FATAL WOUNDS.
Ex-LaeutonnnAa Governor Killed Yn

EK-Laeut0nanAa Governor Killed Yn
 Street. Shooting.
 THIBODEAU UX, La., May 19.-A shooting affray which resulted in the death of former Lieutenant Governor Clay Knoblock occurred on Main street. The affair created intense excitement. The shooting was done by James Ga rault, a barber, in section of Main street usually crowded, but as the hour was early few people were on the street. Several witnesses of the shoot ing were found, but they refused to talk further than to say that Garault shot in self defense.
 The men were seen talking together, when suddenly Knoblock drew his re- volver.- It appeared that he experi- enced some trouble with the weapon, and the cartridges failed to explode. Before Knoblock could make another attempt to shoot Garault whipped out his revolver and opened fire. That his aim was true was established by the autopsy held by the coroner, who found five wounds in the dead mans body. Any one of the wounds would have proved fatal.
 Garault surrendered to the authori- ties immediately, but it Is believed he will be allowed bond.
 Henry Clay Knoblock was a native of La Fourche parish. He served as lieutenant governor under Governor Samuel D. McEnery, now United States senator

The decision of the supreme court,

The decision of the supreme court' recently handed down, on the Alabama electric franchise case, and which de- clared in effect that a state has the right to determine who shall be en- titled to the ballot, has created much interest in Washington in political cir cles, says a correspondent. Among southern democratic members of con gress the opinion is universally ap- proved on constitutional grounds, while some of the northern republican mem- bers say that no state has right to disfranchise any class of it's citizens. The decision of the court is a victory for states rights. It virtually says that any state may do as it pleases in q sovereign matter of this character, and the decision will tend to clarify the situation respecting negro suffrage
