THE RACE PROBLEM IN THE
NORTH.


1t will not be many years before the
evidences of the existence of the race
problem will be as numerous in the
North as in the South. Many of the
good, but narrow-minded people of
New England live under the impress
the negro in this country except in the
South. They fail to recognize the
prejudice which they themselves have
An instance of the drawing of the
color line in New England has just
found its way into the public prints.
At Sheffield, Berkshire county, Massa-
chusetts, there is quite a number of
negro families, and until this year the
white and negro children attended the
same schools, though it seems that ar
rangement wasn't altogether satisfac-
tory to the white people of the place.
At the beginning of this school year,
however the feeling became so intense
on the part of the white people against
mixed schools that the town school
trustees found it advisable to provide
SepdIdlS SClOOl 1OI the negro GILL
dren.
The point was made that the negro
children did not keep up with their
classes, and that the while children
had to be kept back on account of
them. This excuse may have been a
legitimate one but the probability is
that the real reason was that the
white people objected to having the
negro children in the schools attended
by their children.
A separate school was established for
the negro children, and the white
people We're then satisfied, notwith-
standing that the change imposed a
very considerable additional expense
upon the community. The prejudice
against the negro children must have
been pretty strong or else the thrifty
New Englanders wouldn't have given
up their hard-earned dollars in order
to keep their children away from them.
In commenting upon this action of
the white people Of Sheffield the New
York Sun remarks as follows: THE in
cdent is interesting as showing that
the desire to separate the negroes from
the whites, as far as may be possible,
is not confined to any particular Sec
ton of the United States and does not
necessarily arise from inherited preju-
dices."

"CrOss Your Heart"

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
When we were boys together, Bill.
you were my bosom friend;
We used to fish together up the creek.
around the bend.
And you and l were wont to tramp
Ger many weary mile,
Armed with those rusty muskets, fif-
ty years pehind the style.
You were born romancer Bill, and
we'll do 1 recall
How, when you told your yarns. 7
used to greet you with this stall:
Gross your heart,
Black and blue
Show me, now,
That it's true!"
I recollect the readiness with which
you crossed your heart"
And told another story with the same
convincing art.
or course, l. could not doubt you aft
er you had stood the test
And traced the sign l asked for on
your sunburnt, blistered breast,
And thus you used to get away with
many a weird old tale
One time you even made me think
that you had caught whale!
Gross your heart,
Black and blue!
Show me, now,
That it's true!"
Tonight 1 sit alone and conjure I'm
those happy hours
When YOU and 1, barefooted lads.
roamed wild among the flowers,
And, looking back, love to think
never doubted you,
For under all Your fancies beat a
heart courageous, true.
Both day and night I've seen that
sight--the boy-the cracking ice
The cries for help-the brave response
and you-you paid the price!
Gross your heart
Cold and still
Lay your hand
Dear old BILL"

JUSTICE FOR DREYFUs.

There doesn't seem to be any doubt
that justice will at last be done AL
fred Dreyfus who was convicted by the
Rennes court-martial OF being a traitor
and a spy and whose case attracted
the attention of the entire world and
divided the French people into two hos
tile camps. 1t is practically conceded
that the commission which the French
Minister of Justice, NJ. Vale, has ap-
pointed to pass upon the question as
to whether or not the case shall be re-
opened in accordance with Dreyfus
petition will decide in the affirmative.
1t seems that in order to review such
case the existence of some new fact
must be shown. There will be no diff
Guilty in showing any number of new
facts. According to the dispatches
Gen. Andre. who has been investigat-
ing the case for five months, says that
there is no evidence either material or
moral to show that Dreyfus was guilty
of the charges on which he was con-
victed. He says, also, that it will be
easy to show that several of the wit
nesses against him testified falsely,
that documents that were favorable to
him were held back from the court,
and that a number of the documents
that were put in evidence against him
were forgeries.
At the time of the trial there was a
strong suspicion that the guilty person
was Maj. Esterhazy, and it seems that
the proof that that suspicion was we'll
founded has been discovered to be
overwhelming. This being the condi-
ton of affairs there is no reason why
the commission shouldn't report in
favor of a revision of the case.
Dreyfus was pardoned long ago, and
one reason why there has been delay
in reopening the case is the fear of an
agitation similar to that which existed
at the time he was tried. 1t is prob
able, however, that those who fear
such an agitation are mistaken. The
French people are now pretty we'll sat
isfied that Dreyfus is innocent.
1t is probable therefore that they
will be glad to see him set right in
the estimation of his fellow citizens.
There is nothing on which an agita-
ton calculated to divide the people into
two great parties can be based. ORGY
fus will be declared to have been
wrongly accused and convicted and the
French people will rejoice that the
great controversy has at last been set
tied rightly.

VIGOROUS WAR on THE wEEv1L.

"AOOANOL6 VAN YIN LIE
The war that is to be waged on the
boil weevil is going to be vigorous
one. The present high price of cot
ton is having the effect of impressing
upon the whole country more strongly
than ever before the magnitude of the
loss the South would suffer if the wee
vii should spread over the entire cot
ton belt.
There doesn't seem to be any doubt
that Congress will approve the recon-
mendation of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture that an appropriation of 100000
be made with which to combat the
boil weeviI. The congressman from
Texas and Louisiana asked that such
a recommendation be made and the
Secretary responded favorably.
With that amount of money a rem
edy for the disease ought to be dis
covered. 1t will be recalled that at one
time France came near losing her vine
yards, the vines being almost destroyed
by the phylloXera. After long search
q remedy was discovered, the remedy
being the grating of the European
vine on native American grape stock.
1t has been nine years since the boil
weevil made its appearance in Texas
from Mexico, and in that time it has
spread over very large part of that
state. 1t was not until last year that
vigorous steps were taken to fight the
weevil. Then the Legislature offered
reward of $4,000 for remedy for
hn tn1 ga
for experiments for the determination
of the pest. The reward has not yet
been claimed and the experiments have
been productive of no encouraging re-
suit.
There is parasite in Mexico that is
an enemy to the weevil, and in that
country the weevil does comparatively
little damage, but that parasite doesn't
thrive in Texas, and hence is of no
account in >the war on the weevil
The Louisiana Legislature has been
called together for a session of twelve
days for the purpose of enacting laws
that it is hoped will keep the pest
out of that state. 1t is proposed to
prohibit the shipping of cotton and cot
fumigated, from Texas to Louisiana,
and also to establish a zone between
Texas and Louisiana in which no cot
ton shall be planted. OF course, the
farmers occupying this zone will have
to be compensated for abandoning the
cultivation of cotton, but Louisiana
can afford to pay them we'll if by that
means the weevil can be kept beyond
her limits.
The weevil is a long way from this
part of the cotton section, and there
isn't as much interest felt here in the
efforts that are being made to find an
agent that will destroy the pest as
there is in that section of the South,
but unless means of destroying the
pest are found it is almost certain that
it will reach the South Atlantic cotton
fields in the course of few years

Automobiles are a terror to
horses. To the horse the red-devil
is new animal. It will be noticed
that horses are afraid of road loco
motives at first sight but when they
are little accustomed to their use
the fear entirely wears off. The
same holds true as regards the rail-
way locomotive. A team of horses
that has been accustomed to see the
trains come in soon loses all fear.
Even the bicycle upon its first ap-
pearance on the road frightened the
horse. Now we seldom ever see a
horse pay any attention to a pass
