TeIegrarnh Facts.

Every day that a telegraph operator works at three minutes before II there is only one man in the whole country from San Francisco to New York that is privileged to use his key. That man is the operator at Washington. In those three minutes every key is open and all operators wait for three min utes' ticking which tells them the cor. rect time. From that ticking every tel egraph company's clock is set. There are at least 10000 operators at work. Taking three minutes from every one of them equals 6o,oo0 minutes idled away with every day. It would take one man 125 years to do the listening of all these men for those few min utes. At the rate of $50 month, and working for the required number of years, this man would. receive $75,- 900. This is what the companies pay to their men year for just listen ing.-Boston Journal.

Indiyiduality of

Individuality of the American Girl,
 The American girl has often more in dividual character andstrength of mind than any other girl in the world. She knows what she likes, what she wants, and what she dislikes and detests. This alone is a comfort when it comes to being associated with anyone in so- cial way. The colorless damsel who simpers out: Anything you like, please" when you ask her what she wants for luncheon, is by no means a joy forever. The American girl kn ows what she wants to eat, what she needs to wear, what she cares to read. If she likes walking or riding or boating, she will say so, and if she doesn't like them she is quite likely to announce her predilections. Woman's Home Companion.

The Western Flood.

Memphis, Tenn, March S.
The river, after remaining sta
tionary for two days, began to
rise slowly again today. The
gauge tonight marks 344 feet
and more water is coming. The
levees remain intact although a
large area of low lands south of
Memphis is submerged. Critten-
den and Lee counties in Arkansas
are inundated and some distress is
reported from there, especially
among negro farmers. The most
serious difficulty the railroads are
experiencing from the encroach-
ing waters is the delay to sched
ules, many trains arriving from
l to 2 hours late.
Thousands of people lined the
bluffs here today gazing on the
vast expanse of water. Excur.
sion boats were run five miles in.
land.
Cairo, ILL.,, March S.-The ob.
server at the weather bureau has
sent out warnings to places south
of Cairo to prepare for at least
fifty feet of water. Rain fell
yesterday and last night over the
watersheds of the Ohio, Wabash,
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers
and In many places where the
rivers were falling yesterday they
are rising again today. A vast
territory around and below Cairo
is now covered with water and
many of the families have been
forced to abandon their homes.
While there is no immediate
danger at Cairo there is danger
in the lowlands between Cairo
and Memphis. The Cairo levees
are expected to stand a stage of
55 feet as they have been raised
and strengthened during the last
few years. The gauge tonight
shows 45.8 feet.

Atlanta, Ga, March S.-A
special to The Constitution from
Savannah says that George j.
Gould, who reached Jackson
Vile, Fla, this afternoon too late
to catch the train for New York
secured a special train, the fast

In actual running time, &C

wants to open the door of hope
and opportunity to the negro by
giving him office, he can do it
without insulting and agitating
tho entire white population of
the South.
DIR. Crum is not the only edu-
Gated and reputable black man
in the United States, nor is Char.
lesion the only city where
negroes who are his equals in
ability and character can be
found.
Boston has a custom house as
we'll as Charleston. II, in order
to assert the equality of the races,
q black must be made Collector
of the Port somewhere, why not
select Boston instead of Charles
ton for the honor2 ....:
Moreover, there is no law to
prevent Mr.. Roosevelt from open
ing the door of hope and oppor-
tunity in Washington, and ad-
mitting some colored citizen of
distinction to the Cabinet. There
is no law to restrain him, either
from surrounding himself. with
negro secretaries and clerks.
Such support as the President
receives in his efforts to thrust
colored officeholders upon the
whites of the South comes, of
course, nearly altogether from
the North, and when sincere and
dissoclated from mere political
partisanship is accorded by men
80 constituted that when their
minds give hospitality to fine
sounding general principle they
have no room left for facts which
counsel against the enforcement
of the principle in human affairs
at any given time or place.
"The door of hope and oppor-
tunity must not be closed against
any man on account of his color :;
therefore negroes must be given
ofhce"-. So runs the logic, but
we do not observe that the men
who assent most enthusiastically
to tho argument are at all eager
to give it reality near at home.
Boston's officials. are not dark
complexloned. Massachu OF ts's
governor is a white man, and
negroes are not elected to seats
in any Of the legislatures. Of the
New England States. Their
senators and representatives in
Congress, strange to say, are all
of the Caucasian race. The Mid.
die States, the States of the Mid.
die West and of the Far West
seems quite as reluctant as the
South to have the negroes hold
office.

about the rights of the oppressed
costs nothing That, perhaps, is
why 1t is 80 popular an exercise.

where the negro population is
large, that the African represents
race problem. Outside efforts,
military and political. to solve
that problem have failed. The
sober judgment of the country
has arrived at the concluaion that
the solution had bess be left to
time and the people of the South
themselves. They do not hate
the negro and they understand
him. In their personal relations
with the blacks Southern mon az

sheer race prejudice that causes
negroes of ability and education
to be Disseminated against politi-
cally; in the South the motive is
fear. The whites there have had
experience of negro domination
and they are resolved not to un-
dergo repetition of that expert
ence. Will any unprejudiced
man who is acquainted with the
history of the Reconstruction
era blame them3
With all genuine efforts to ele.
vate the negro intellectually.
morally and industrially the
Southern people are in hearty
sympathy. That cannot be dis
puted. No man could be more
thoroughly respected among them
or more cordially encouraged in
his great work for the practical
education of his race, than is
Booker Il. Washington. And no.
body who has the slightest
knowledge of actual conditions
in the former slave States can
question for a moment that one
Booker L. Washington is worth
more to his race than the giving
of every Collectorship In the
Union to negroes would be.
Fair men throughout the coun-
try sympathize with the resent
ment which the South is always
sure to express when politicians
in seeking their own ends disturb
the quiet and menace the safety
of the section by spreading false
and foolish hopes and sinister
discomfort among the ignorant
masses of simple black men not
yet advanced mentally much be-
yond the plane of childhood.
President Roosevelt by en-
deavoring to apply in the South,
where the negroes are many, the
principle of equality, while he
ignores that principle in the re-
mainder of the country, where the
negroes are few, and Senator
Hanna, with his bill to pension
all ex slaves, render the blacks
no service. On the contrary, they
do them grave harm, and at the
same time harass and alarm the
whites, who are burdened with a
race problem that is quite heavy
enough without these gratuitous
additions.

seems wicked and objectionable.
All such Americans-and let us
hope that they form the great
