Although little is known of Sartos po-
litical tendencies he is considered TO be
one likely to avoid conflicts and to continue
the policy Of Pope Leo and Cardinal RAM
polla.
The officials here recall Sarto's tactful
course in receiving the king and queen Of
Italy at Venice, which removed much of
the friction hitherto existing, and led to
warm friendship between Sarto and Queen
Helena.
This incident is cited as an evidence Of
his conciliatory disposition and the like
lihood of no material change taking place
in the policy Of the vatican.

came his superintendent. Who is Mr..
MacFarlane? Why, he is man who had
worked for the Anaconda company, and
was familiar with the ore bodies in that
claim and south OF the Nipper, and he was
capable OF projecting them to the Npper
surface.
"Mr. Heinze seems to have known what
he was doing. One thing | note in this
time and am much impressed by, and that
is the unlimited abuse dealt out to every
body. | have heard Mr.. Heinze called all
kinds OF man, but whatever he is, as we
used to say down in Georgia, he doesn't
stand in need OF 'guardecn.'
Goes After the Ore.
Then Governor Thomas said that hav-
ing, with Mr.. MacFarlane's help, located
all the ore bodies down below, Mr.. Heinze
fixed up an apex on the surface and went
down after the ore.
"lt was that which determined the char
acter OF this speculation of Mr.. Hcinzes.
Because it is nothing but speculation"
said the attorney.
lie then said that leinze ran cross
cuts in every direction. One of these
tapped the Stewart ledge. Another went
away to the northeast, and when ii crossed
the line Heinze's miners did not know it.
1t was notable that all OF the cross-cuts
ran to the north, and that in every case
the northwest extension OF the Anaconda
vein was developed, the veins running
northwest and southeast.
Yesterday afternoon the defense made
motion for judgment.
The motion alleged that the suit was
avowedly brought to quiet title, but that
the allegations were not sustained nor at
tempted to be sustained by the testimony
OF the plaintiffs; that the evidence
showed that the suit was really brought
by the plaintiffs to recover part Of vein
or veins under the defendants side lines,
the Oden and other claims south of the
Nipper, and therefore that the suit is
really an action at law and not the asser-
ton of any adverse claim properly form
ing the basis Of suit in chancery to quiet
title.
The only claim asserted by the Ana
conda and Neversweat lode claims, both
of which were long patented before the be-
ginning of the suit.
Patented Across the Ledge.
The motion alleged the evidence plainly
showed the Nipper claim was patented
across the ledge, in consequence of which
the extralateral rights of the Nipper were
cut off; that the Nipper discovery shaft
is on a vein that crosses both side lines of
the claim.
1t is also asserted the Blue vein is the
Nipper discovery vein and that that vein
must fix the end lines of the claim for
itself and all other veins having apices
in the claim that it is clearly evident that
the vein on which the so-called Nipper
apex is driven is not the vein upon which
the discovery shaft is situated, in conse-
quence of which the extralateral rights of
such pretended vein must be determined
by the vein upon which the origanl loca-
ton was made.
The motion also put forward several
grounds for judgment in behalf of the
Anaconda company alone
Judge Clancy overruled it and an excep-
ton was taken.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT SOLVES THE
CONUNDRUM.

The talk that ex-President Roosevelt
will succeed President Elliott as the presi-
dent of Harvard University, if defeated
for the presidency, is revived. In his
speech at the University of California, de-
livered few days ago, Mr.. Roosevelt
said. Il can conceive of no happier life
for any man to lead. to whom life means
what it should mean. than the life of the
president of this great university
Does that look like Mr.. Roosevelt would
welcome the Harvard opening? Whether
he has.-that in view or not, it is altogeth-
er creditable to him that he would regard
the presidency of university as a suita-
BILE life 'for any man to lead to whom life
means what it should mean his de-
claration, coupled with the suggestion OF
his name for the presidency of Harvard,
Mr. Roosevelt has probably furnished an
answer to the old. conundrum, "What
shall we do with our -presidents?" Per-
haps the best thing to do with them Is
to make college presidents of them. Mr..
Cleveland sought the classic shades of
Princeton, but beyond an occasional adj
dress has had no part in shaping the policy
of that great institution. If he had been
made president. it would have given him
plenty of occupation to keep the fresh
men in order. Mr.. Roosevelt would make
strenuous college president The only
doubt about his fitness is that the boys
couldn't keep up with him in walking
and jumping and in all athletic sports.
AS the head of a gymnasium he would
teach the manly art of self-defence to per-
lection.

that Bryan is mad with German because

told Bryan he was wrecking the party

such stuff AS matter of fact neither
Mr. Bryan nor Mr.. German was in Kan

never said anything of the sort to Mr.
Bryan at Kansas City or any other place
But the story will go the rounds of the
grand circuit. Mr.. Bryan wisely does
not stop to expose such canards and Mr.
German is in Europe. If at home he
would say nothing, presuming that the
American people wouldn't put credence
in such a silly canard.

INDEPENDENTIsM NOT NEEDKD

There was an independent ticket in the

the way independentism is treated by
North Carolina voters.
There is no room or call for nldepend

''MULATToEs NORTH AND SOUTH"
Macon Telegraph.


''MULATToES NORTH AND SOUTH"
Macon Telegraph.
Several days ago the Telegraph was
lmpelled by slanderous article printed
IN the New York Tribune to place the
blame for very large per cent of the
mulattoes in the South where that blame
Ibelonged-upon the lower elements which
came south with reconstruction. Some
further information on the general subject
will be instructive.
1t is to be regretted that the census
OF 1900 does not divide the population
of African descent into blacks, mulat-
toes, quadroons and octoroons, as did the
census of 1890. But from the latter CEN
sus we gather some very interesting facts.
For instance in Massachusetts there We're
%, 144 people of African descent. OF these
IA, 1O8, or 81 per cent, were black; 6,Sl5, or
30ls per cent, were muattoes; 728 or BIZ
per cent. quadroons; 493, or 2 per cent.
octoroons. In Georgia, there were 85SSl4
people of African descent. OF these 1859
or 80 per cent, were blacks; 72,072, or 81
per cent were mulattoes; S,775, or l per
cent quadroons and 1926, or u per cent.
were octoroons.
So with eliminating the quadroons ard
octoroons, it will be seen that 30h per
cent Of the negro population in Massachu-
sets were mulattoes while So per cent
only of the negroes in Georgia were mu-
lattoes
But it may be suggested that these
mulattoes emigrated from the South to
Massachusetts, So it might be said that
some of the mulattoes in Georgia came
from Mexico, from Cuba, from San DO
mingo and from other States But there
is some light on the subject. The census
of 1900 says that the negro population in
Massachusetts Git does not classify blacks,
mulattoes, etc. increased during ten
years Is per cent-that 41.02 per cent were
native born. This would show that a
greater per cent were native born in 1890
than in 1900. The native born in 1890
must have been not less than so per cent
Now take your bearing and contem-
plate the percentage of mulattoes III
Massachusetts, and in Georgia.
Massachusetts, 9O1a per cent.
Georgia, 314 per cent.
But if so per cent Of the Massachusetts,
negro population in 1890 were not native
born and came from the Isles in the
Antilles, from New York, from Pennsyl-
vania and from Southern States, still her
percentage of native mulattoes would be
Is per cent against Georgia's 81 pei
cent. granting (which is not true) that
none of Georgia's were born out of the
State
These facts. taken in connection with
the facts in regard to the real response
bility for a very great per cent of
mulattoes in the South, pointed out IN
these columns q few days ago, should
cause a radical revision in the tone IT
and direction given to the moral lectures
daily printed in the publications, and
preached in the sanctuaries, in certain
quarters in the North The South does
not shrink from her natural burdens and
responsibilities, nor claim immunity from
her proportionate part of the social evils
which afflict humanity everywhere but
she insists on fair treatment and just
judgments.

HILLS VS.. PARKRURsT.

Two of the most noted preachers IN
Americas metropolis are DR.. Parkhurst
and Dr. Hills In his sermon on Sunday
morning in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
Dr. Hills took issue with his predecessor,
Dr. Lyman Abbott, and with ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. upon their recent utter
ances on the question of negro suffrage.
In long discourse. DR.. Hills said:
"At meeting hea in New York few
weeks ago the ex-President, Mr.. Cleve-
land, and great religious editor, DR..
Lyman Abbott, spoke on the color ques-
ton. They affirmed that the gift of the
right of suffrage to the negro had been a
failure, that the negro was ignorant, vi
cious, and unworthy. They closed the
door of hope in the negros face With re-
ference to the fact that several Southern
States have DISTINGUISHED the negro, they
affirmed that the South should be lett
free to settle the negro problem in its own
way.
For the hour the ex-President and the
editor are, among the old leaders in the
South, the most popular men in the
North.
Both the statesman and the editor
have for the hour lost faith in the Re-
public and in the equality of the races, in
universal suffrage.
Let us all cherish the hope that neither
one fully realized the scope OF his state
ment
IF the negro is to be disfra nchlsed IN
the South, do these two men understand
that they must also disfranchise him III
the North? If they affirm that they dis
franchise the negro, not because of his
color, but because he is illi'erate, will
they also disfranchse the 1,OO0, 900 white
men who are also illterate?
eff the negro is to be disfranchised, then
the Declaration of Independence is wrong
If the white man because of his illiteracy,
and the black man, because OF his igno-
rance, are to lose the ballot, then the for
eign races-Italian, Bohemian. Pole, and
Greek-and the mountain whites must
lose it also.
IF the universal suffrage is wrong, then
the Sixteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition must be given up: then Abraham
Lincoln was wrong in his speech at Get
| tysburg, and the million soldiers who
gave their lives for liberty spilled then
blood in the interest of folly and super
stition.'
A few weeks ago We quoted the broad
and wise views of DIR. Parkhurst, stated
after a second visit to the South in recent
years 1t seems that there has been some
criticism upon his frank and sens ibIe OBJ.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-05-20

servations. and in an interview given out
on Monday, DIR. Parkhurst said:
"Since my return from the South,
have been informed that some of my
critics have accused me of expressing re-
grets that slavery days were over. That
is not true. / have merely said that most
of the niggers' are unfit for the respon-
sibilities of citizenship. / call them mig
gers, because that is what they call them
selves and because the word has been ac-
cepted among educated people in the
South.
1.-The 'niggers' will never be assimilated
by the nation. They never will contri-
butte, in any part, toward forming the
Americans of the future They grow
blacker and blacker every day. Their
color forms a physical barrier which even
time, the great leveler. cannot sweep
away.
Persons who talk of assimilation in
connection with the race problem do not
understand what they speak Of Future
generations of our race will be very much
as we are. The physical barrier that sep
arates the blacks from the whites today
will be just as broad and as high through
out all the centuries to come"
The difference between DR.. Hills and
DR.. Parkhurst is this: DR.. Parkhurst
made no statement until he had made two
visits to the South where he studied the
negro just as he is, in his surroundings
and environment, with no false glamour
DR.. Hills gives his views, fresh from
his study in Brooklyn, without any per-
sonal knowledge of the negro question as
it really exists in the South today.
DR.. Parkhurst speaks after investiga-
ton and realizes that it is "a condition
and not a theory that confronts US"
DR.. Hills speaks without investigation
and therefore without accurate informa-
ton. With him it is altogether theory

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE THE
CAUSE OF Yesterdays
ACCIDENT.

THE HORRIBLE WRECK OF A
PASSENGER TRAIN ON THE SOUTH
ERN RAILWAY, NEAR RALEIGH
YESTERDAY, WAS DUE TO CRIMINAL
CARELEssNEss.
That was the verdict of the hundreds
of unprecedented men and women who
focked to the scene of the accident 1t
was a miracle of Providence that every
person on the train was not killed. One
gentleman counted two hundred rotten
ties on the track where the accident oc-
Cured At least one tie in every five,
said an expert railroad man last night,
was rotten. Some of the ties, at the
they would not hold a spike. People
were astounded at the condition of the
lies and Mortified to think that the travel
ing public is subjected to such hazardous
risks to life and limb If the passengers
had known the condition of the ties, they
would have required the railroad company
to give them a life insurance policy with
the railroad ticket. The condition of that
piece of track was due to nothing but the
grossest criminal neglect Only a few
weeks ago there was a freight wreck near
this same place If the railroad authori-
ties had exercised ordinary care they
would then have replaced the hundreds of
rotten ties with sound ones.
In any Northern State in the Union in
dictments would be sent against the rail
way officials, from top to bottom, f1' the
criminal carelessness. 1t is not due to any
merit or care on the part of the Southern
Railway officials that every person on the
train was not killed 1t is marvel how
they escaped.
The courts owe it to the travelling pub
lie to punish such criminal negligence.
When the criminal court is held in Pa
leigh in July, the Judge will no doubt call
the matter to the attention of the grand
jury. 1t will be the sworn duty of that
body to present the officials of the road,
going up to the top and presenting the
men who clip the coupons and big profits,
some of which ought to have gone into
new cross-ties. 1t will then be the sworn
duty of the solicitor to prosecute the
officials to conviction.
The multitude of wrecks demands that
an example be made of railroad officials
guilty Of criminal negligence.
