Taking Advantages OF Ignorance.

tnstSV 1AtSNhNuSS IA &C,
The Columbia papers tell Of most
vicious and criminal practice that is
being carried on there for the txtor
tion Of money from negroes and we
doubt not it is carried on to IL greater
or less extent in many other places
and that ignorant white people as
we'll as negroes are made the victims
EXorbitant interest is charged for
loans and false papers made to cover
the tracks OF the Shylocks who lend
it. Tie Florence Times says ''it is
well that one Of these vulturcs has
been caught and his wings clipped
but nothing like what ought to have
been done to him has been done. PcO-
pie who would abuse the law and
make it Il cloak for oppression and
cXtOrlion ought to be put to hard
labor for life. We would chccrfully
record such Il sentence. The negro
may prefer this kind of slavery to the
paternal form Of forty years ago, but
he does not seem to thrive so under
it's yoke. We have no right to take
advantage of ignorance and impotence
whether it be in white skin or Il
black and such treatment is well cali
clllatcd to breed a race Of wild beasts
in the place OF quiet and 'tractablc
laborcrs. a leading popularity and
characteristic Of the negro race is that
they will always flock to vulturcs of
this kind for all their. business deal
ings and make their bargains with
the most child like confidence, while
they are the most suspicious creatures

most thoroughly afraid OF their
friends. No amount fJ5eXperience

Considerable King Edward.

King Edward, who visited, with Queen
Alexandra, the Discovery just before
she sailed on her voyage of Antarctic
exploration, is manifesting a very active
interest in the steps that are being I'M
dertaken by the British admiralty for
the relief of the expedition. which, ac-
cording to latest intelligence received, Is
icebound In southern polar seas 1t is
largely due to his initiative that gov
eminent ship is being sent out for the
relief of Captain Scott and his officers
and men, and the King has insisted that
orders should be given by the admiralty
that in the event of the ice in the vi
cinity of the Discovery not breaking
up about the time when the relief boat
reaches the southern continent, Captain
Scott with his men should abandon their
ship and return to England on board the
relief vessel.
Were 1t not for these orders, Captain
Scott and his officers would be unable
to abandon the Discovery without hav-
ing TO face a court-martial on their re-
turn home.

METHOD OF CONCERNING

Commissioners Take Oath and Are In

also for the use Of the Baltimore aid

After the oath of office was admins

Pritchard instructed them as 20 the man
ner in which they shall proceed in de-
termining the value of the property TO
be condemned. In this connection il
may be stated that though certain
property owners in square III, which is
to be condemned for the use OF the
railroad. have taken appeals from the
judgment of the court which sustained
the constitutionallty OF the act of con-
demnation, the protest will not delay the
work of the commissioners.

His guilt or innocence will no doubt
be shown by evidence adduced at the

has the mquestioned right to sell his
goods TO whOmsoever he pleases, but
as a member of Congress and a man
ufacturer he is prohibited from enter
ing into a bargain to dispose of his
wares TO the Government. The law is
clear upon this point. The facts as to
his connection with the Lyon contracts
are somewhat obscure, and further
proof is necessary. The prima facic
evidence tends to show him guilty Of
a violation of his oath of Office The
question of a return of the money
paid out under the contracts is of sec

bel Editor 81 Nc Mashington Times:

10 the kdlIor OF Inc ashlngton llineS:
The following paragraph, clipped from the
Washington Post" Of the 5th instant, is very
pathetic %. but it will fall on very deaf
ears-it will not be heard or noticed:
Evidence is received anew Of letters written
by Observation-Disclosures Machen to old-time
friends soliciting financial aid. Some OF these
letters ara written in pathetic tone, and ask
for money to help me in my fight for lib
erty and TO provide for my wife and little
ones In one Of these letters, wherein he asked
for loan Of $780, Mr. Machen declared that,
contrary to the general belief. he was prac-
tically without funds. 1t Is known that, &C
cording to his own statement, he has written
one OF these appealing letters TO a prominent
member Of the Republican National Committee,
whom he mentions As his friend

glory and power, was al unterriAed, unde-

heavy, merciless hand. When he had 100
letters carriers dismissed at Philadelphia, in
the summer Of 1895, because they we're Re-
publicans, did he concern himself about their
wives and little onss?'' When he had three
clerks dismissed from his free delivery division
in December, 1895, at the beginning of a hard
winter, on the trumped-up charge Of con
spiracy," did he care whether their wives

American Products.

Consul General Richard Guenther. Of
Frankfort. has made a report to the
State Department. discussing the result
OF the German meat inspection law
which went into effect on April l. and
which has seriously affected the Ameri-
can imports.
The Importation of prepared beef from
the United States for May, 1902. amount
ed to ACC, 600 pounds. and for May, 1903,
to 80 600 pounds; as TO prepared pork,
the figures for May, 1902. show an i'm
portation Of 500 400 pounds, and for the
same period Of 1903 only 20 200 pounds.
The importation Of American hams has
practically ceased; during May. 1902.
2O2 500 pounds were imported, while the
statistics for May, 1903, show only 200
pounds.
In the months of April and May, 1903,
only 2,138 tons of fresh meat were i'm
ported into Germany, against AGO tons
during the same period of 1902. and only

A Quaker Knight

The news OF the death of Sir Joseph
Pease, and the announcement that he
has left barely $4,000. cannot fail to
arouse a certain amount of interest,
not unmixed with sympathy. on this side
OF the Atlantic. For not only was Sir
Joseph known as head of one of the
principal banking and merchant houses
in England, having extensive business
connections with this country. but like
wise he was head OF an old Quaker fam
lily that has many affiliations among the
Friends" in the United States.
Sir Joseph, who was a popular MEM
Der OF parliament, and an intimate
friend and supporter OF Mr.. Gladstone.
came In for some criticism among
Quakers in America and In England for
accepting a baronetcy from Queen Vic
to-ia, not only because titular distinc-
lions are contrary TO the spirit Of Qua
kerdom, but likewise by reason of the
fact that baronetcies specifically entail
the obligation to furnish the crown with
a certain number Of men fully armed for
services in the field. an obligation now
adays compromised by the payment of
certain lump sum on creation. This was
held to be Numerically opposed to the
principle of peace at all cost" which
is one Of the chief articles Of creed of
the Society of Friends.

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY
ISN'T RUN FOR PROFIT
President Pleads Poverty When City
Seeks Pay.

CHICAGO, Aug 6.-Appeal has been
taken to the superior court TO decide
whether the University OF Chicago.
which is John D. Rockefeller's pet in
stitution, is operated for gain or is
purely a religious and charitable in
stitution.
The city of Chicago takes one view o.
the case and the university the other.
The city has been supplying water to
the university without pay. The bill
ran up TO S2.so0.
The city sent q collector TO call on
President Harper. The collector re-
turned without the cash. Then Super
intendent Nourse threatened 10 shut of
the water, whereupon the university
management petitioned the court for an
Injunction to restrain the city from
carrying out its threat.
According to the petition, exemption
is based on the city ordinance relieving
from the payment OF water bills relig-
ious, charitable. or educational institu-
tiOns not operated for gain. The uni
yersity maintains that ii comes under
the last head. as il is an educational in
stitution which is not making any
money.
In his petition President Harper AYERS
that the university is running bshind al
the rate OF $4,000 a year. Expendi-
lures exceed the amount received for
tuition fees and dues to that extent, he
says. and the deficit has 10 be made up
by soliciting subscriptions from per-
sons interested in educational enter

ing the invitation Therefore those who
have been waiting in the hope that Mr..
Cleveland would upon this occasion make
some declaration which would remove
all doubt as to the matter OF his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination will
be disappointed.
The ex-President is to continus his

some one will arise and say that Dir.
