Cruel Girl.

DO YOU think he asked her, merely
because he didn't have anything else to
say. that there is much in this heredity
theory" says the Chicago Record Her
aid. For instance, read some where
the other day that if a mans father
and grandfather were preachers
it would be easy for him to
become preacher or if one
come from a long line of soldiers
it would be natural for him to pick up
the art of war without much trouble.
The idea seemed to be that whatever
a mans ancestors We're it would be
easiest for him to be-"
well" she replied, Il wouldn't be
surprised if there were a good deal in
that theory. I've always noticed that
most men can make monkeys of them
selves without much trouble"

.BLoODY SHIRT" IN TEXAS.

Hon. web" Flanagan of Texas, au-
thor of that famous slogan of the Re-
publicans, What are we here for?''
cotnpanion piece to that other ia
nous political motto, what is the
constitution among friends" has
broken into print again. This time
the Hon. Web is waving the bloody
shirt, in manner that would have
ELECTED rounds of applause and
ffhowls of sandignation from Massaehu-
setts twenty-five years ago.
The Hon. Web" who is federal
officehoder at Austin and is fond
of his job, has recently visited some
of the interior counties and alleges
to have discovered horrors and out
RACES practiced upon the colored
brother that pale the Kishineff affair
into nsignifcance--the way he tells
it. He has found, he says, that black
men in numbers have been logged IN
to insensibility and even death by
white men for no other reason than
that their skins were black, and that
the whites insisted on "a white mans
country" The instruments of pun
ishment, he insists, were 'rawhides
fastened to oak handles, with nails
driven through the rawhide protrud-
ing half an inch, each stroke driving
the nails into the cringing body.
Oddly enough he neglects to state that
the ears of the black men were nailed
to trees, that their fingers were cut
off and the wounds on their bodies
rubbed with salt after the floggings
Those would have been horrible de-
tails" we'll calculated to add to the
ereepiness of the story.
BY some mischance nobody seems tc
have heard of these outrages except
the Hon. Web Flanagan. There
are newspapers in Texas that would
have been glad to get the news, and
hundreds of correspondents that would
have jumped at the opportunity OF
selling the stories to Northern jour
nails. But the Texas newspapers ant
correspondents have been silent witt
respect to any organized movement tC
| drive the blacks out of any county oil
community. Has the Hon. Web
picked up some isolated incident in 6
| far away neck of the woods and useC
it as a vehicle on which to ride intC
notice as the steadfast Republican
| friend of the down trodden blacks? l.
| looks so. Col. Flanagan knows thai
a highway to favor in Washington il
to pose as the friend and defender o
| the brother in black.

,JERsEY,s CONCENTRATIONS LAW.

One OF the most fourishing industries
in New Jersey is the states corpora
tion-making mill, Some recently pub
lished figures show the extent to which
the state has prolited by the manu-
facture of corporations during the past
ten years. In 1898 the number of cor
poTations organized under the Cen
eral Act was 1876, with an authorized
capital of $312 496. 100, and the income
derived from them was $536000. In
1901 the number had increased 10 1884,
with an authorized capital of over $4,-
773,000 900, and the states revenue from
this source had in 1902 reached nearly
$20OO00O. This" says the Journal Of
Commerce, came from the annual tax,
apart from the original fees for filing
the certificates of Incorporation, which
last year amounted to over $569,230"
BY far the greater number of New
Jersey corporations are formed to do
business outside of the state. They are
chartered there because of the laxity
Of the laws and the relatively small
fees charged. Almost any SORT of cor
poration scheme can obtain a Jersey
charter. The law provides that there
shall be resident directors Of all cor
porations chartered under the states
laws, but how easily that is overcome
is illustrated in the case of the ship
building trust, now under investiga-
ton. 1t has been shown that that
trusts New Jersey stockholders and
directors were mere dummies, who
knew nothing whatever about the at
fairs of the concern and merely voted
in accordance with the instructions of
the trusts lawyers. They did not
know who had bought the one share of
stock each entered in their names TO n
able them to qualify as directors, nor
could they tell where certain works of
the corporation were situated. 1t was
brought out that there were firms in
New Jersey that made it a business to
supply dummy directors for corpora
tons seeking charters. All of this, it
will be borne in mind, is permissible
under the New Jersey law.
Other states have often complained
that New Jersey is turning loose upon
them bunco and wildcat schemes, de-
signed for the purpose of fleeing in
Hestors, but SO far all efforts to amend
the New Jersey corporations laws have
proved unavailing. Why? Because of
the large revenues that are derived
from the corporations created under
those laws. They pay practically all
of the states expenses and the citi-
zens are freed from taxation. 1t is
hard to convince people that thing
that relieves them from taxation is bad
and ought to be remodeled.

SOUTHERN COLLEGEs NOT RICH.

disposition is shown by Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Howe, writing in the Popular
Science Monthly for October, to hold
up Southern colleges to ridicule and
contempt because they are not as
wealthy as institutions of learning in
other sections. No one who is familiar
with conditions or with the quality of
work done in Southern colleges will
permit such views to create a prejudice
in his mind against the Southern in
stitutions. q
A comparison of the wealth Of North
ern and Southern colleges is made,
wherein it is shown that of $751; 1000, 900
of productive funds held by the col
sleges of the country those of the South
hold but SIS, 0000 900. 1t is further men
toned that of S.5o0,OoO books in college
libraries there are but 1,25O 600 In those
of Southern colleges.
Save in her possibilities and in her
undeveloped resources, the South is
not so rich a section as the North and
the East, wherein flourish the mighty
Institutions of learning Upon those
have been lavished the wealth of mil
lionaires living and dead. and it would
be remarkable if the institutions were
not able to muster a surprising aggre-
gate of endowments. But few of these
miilionaires of other sections have seen
TT to devote their wealth to promoting
the cause of education in the South.
In many instances where they have
shown such a disposition their money
has not gone to the encouragement of
higher education, but rather TO the in
| dustrial education of the negroes.
Wealth so bestowed cannot be en-
braced in a showing of the college
wealth of the South
The South does not love her institu-
items of higher learning the less be-
cause they are poor. Fathers and
mothers in the South reaped their own
knowledge in these fields of learning,
! and a pride in them will ever induce
| them to send their sons and daughters
| to follow in their footsteps. Nor is it
| because the South does not love her
| colleges that they are not more
wealthy. The South is not SO prolific
of millionaires as other sections. Her
wealthiest men frequently make be-
| quests to her colleges. but they are
| comparatively insignificant when one
thinks of the great sums that are ,be-
slowed upon other institutions. Yet
these Southern colleges annually add
| to the population young men and young
! women, who, save possibly in technical
education, are as well prepared to cope
successfully with the world as those
/ who receive their diplomas from
Weather educational institutions.

:. e.
as generation succeeded generation,
became smaller and weaker until the
bird now cannot fly.
A writer on natural history has
the following to say of badgers: I'm
hard winter weather the badger lies
much in its earth, alternating for long
periods much after the fashion of the
bear, and sleeping, like that animal,
with one paw in it's mouth. At this
season the beast closes up the mouth
OF its den and slumbers away it's time
for many days, even weeks together.
In mllder weather it ventures forth
again in search of food In the bust
ness of digging the badger is one of
the finest opponents in the world, maxi
ing Its way underground, even amid
the greatest obstacles, with a strength.
CELEBRITY and perseverance that are
truly marvellous. l have always re-
garded the aardvark, the ant-eater of
south Africa, as the champion digger
of the animal kingdom, having been
witness of some of his exploits: but
the badger takes a very high place
in the art of getting under ground. .
The sportsman naturalist, ST. John.
one day found a badger in a trap, not
much injured. Tying a rope to it's
hind leg, he drove the animal home
strange to say, the captive beast Jog
ging steadily along in front of him
and giving him little more trouble than
pig going to market. On reaching
home the animal was put for the night
into a paved court, where it seemed
perfectly secure. Next morning, :"
says st. John, he was gone, having
displaced a stone that / thought him
quite incapable of moving and then,
digging under the wall, he got away"
