Northern Extremists are in the Minority.

Everything goes to show that Northern ex-
tremists are in a discredited minority in Yankee
dom, even as the V~ardamans and Helms are in a
minority with us-although their widely-pub-
lished rantings probably lead many untraveled
1t has been our observation that those Southerners
1t has been our observation that these Southerners
who think the North bitter have seldom been the
other side of Washington, and that those North
erners who think the South rebellious haven't
crossed Mason and Dixon's line. Right now there
comes to the writer-called out by one of his
magazine articles-a letter from a Massachusetts,
man which gives a pretty good illustration of the
passing of sectionalism.
Il am an ardent lover of my country" says our
correspondent, with an especial fondness for,
and sympathy with, the South, though I fought
against her-yes, I was in battles on your own soil,
at Roanoke, New Bern, Little Washington, Tar
boro, Kinston and Goldsboro. Those times are
past, and no bitterness, with me, remains. Since
the war, / consider that the South has been cruelly
wronged, almost ruined during Reconstruction
days. [ can think of no more despicable lot of
scoundrels than were the carpet-baggers, whose
only aim was to rob the South. That your coun-
try has shown such recuperative power, under the
circumstances, is one of the wonders of the age. T
think the best men, North and South, are con-
vinced that the only way to solve the Southern
problem is to leave it to the two races to work It
out by themselves. I think Booker Washington is
working on the right lines-education, and that
not of the mind alone, but the hands as well.
above all, teach the negro to eschew politics, to 90

THE COUNCIL
WILL CONSIDER COMPROMISE
AT THE NEXT MEETING

The railroad and telegraph commit
tee OF the general council yesterday
afternoon accepted the compromise
with the East Tennessee Telephone
company, which compromise will now
20 to the general council for rstifioa-
tion. Under the terms the company
pays the city t3, 500 and gets a 90
year franchise and receipts for fran
ohise taxes, licenses, pole rent, and
other such things, mp to the first of
next year. Attorney J. O. Flournoy
gets si250 under an agreement Of the
committee, but somv Of the oouncilmen
do not seem TO think that he can get
this under his contract with the city,
which seems to specify that he is to
get 30 per cent Of only the pole rem
tails, while the above $500 includes
all claims due the city, license, fran
ohise taxes, as well as rental Of poles.
II is possible from talk tnat the
question OF whether OF not the con-
tract made by the city with Mr.
Flournoy for so per cent of what he
collects extends only to the rent on
poles, will be referred to the city So
licitor.
The contract on record in the city
clerks office, written by the law firm
itself reads in part:
"our firm would be willing to un-
dertake the collection of all the rem
tails due from the telegraph companies
of the city on a basis Of fee equal to
afty per cent Of what we recover"
II will be seen that this applies to
only telegraph companies, but it was
afterwards extended to the telephone
companies also.

Dancing, tennis and boating have

Mr.. Lee s. Bernheim, Formerly
Of the City, Retired.
Will Now Devote His Time TO Up
lifting the Human Race, It
Is Said.
RETAINS INTEREST IN COMPANY

The following from the Louisville
Post will be of interest in Paducah,
where Mr.. Bernheim formerly resided
with his parents and attended the public
schools:
Mr.. Lee S Bernheim has announced
his prospective withdrawal from active
participation in the management of the
Bernheim Bros. Distilling Company. of
this city, TO devote his entire time to
sociology with view of aiding in the
progressive effort to unlife the human
race.
The Bernheim brothers are well known
.or their charitable propensities, these
being evinced in many material forms.
Mr. Lee Benheim has devoted a great
leal of his time to the study of socilog-
ical problems and has found the work so
interesting that he desires to devote all
Of his time to it, While he will have no
part in the active management of the
company, he will retain an interest in
the business.
With reference TO his intentions. Mr..
Bernheim said TO the Evening Post:
II am retiring from business for the
purpose of devoting myself to sociolog
zeal work.
Conditions are such that think an
iarnest, practical young business man
cannot fail TO do some good. Not much,
probably, but surely there must be some
way in which definite and disinterested
fort can assert itself.
Grating is rampant. and it is becom-
ing recognized that the depths of pow
erty in which so many worthy people
struggle, and necessary inequality of
opportunity.
"What TO do or how to do it | cannot
say, but first, | think, must come an
honest recognition of these facts.
Il hope | can, in small way, help to
direct the attention of some few fair
minded men to this difference between
hings as they are and as they are
thought to be, and when | have studied
the questions and become proficient in
law. perhaps | may be able even to hast

spsrripg. Munfoe WAS the first TO
lead with left that WAS short.
Jeffries danced around his opponent,
drew him into clinch and missed q
right for the body. Jeffries was
chewing gum ana smiling. Jeffries
sent Munroe to the fioor with left
hook to the jaw. Munroe was mp
quickly but the champion drove a
straight right to the head and fol
lowed it with a left swing to the stom-
soh. Jeffries followed his advantage,
driving Munroe TO the ropes with
right and left to the body. A we'll
directed left to the Jaw sent Munroe
to the ropes for eight seconds. He
rose but again was fioored with
similar blow. Jsffries started a
vicious right for the jaw, but the bell
rang and the champion stayed its
progress. Munroe did not land blow
and looked nearly out as his seconds
showed him TO his corner.
Second Round-rhey went to a
clinoh. Munroe received a left swing
to the mouth that made him spit
blood. He bored in, but Jeffries was
unrelenting, smashing him all over
the body with left and right and
fioored the miner again. Blood
flowed from Munroe's face and ears.
Then terrific left to the face rem
dered the miner helpless. He sunk
slowly to the floor and attempted to
rise. Jeffries was waiting for him,
but before the champion could land
on his helpless victim Referee Graney
grabbed him and declared Jeffries the
winner.

Near Taking the Full
Count
HE FAILED To LAND AT ALL

San Francisco. Cal, August AZ
The fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world, the most i'm
portsnt for two years, was very
tame affair.
Jack Munroe, the Butte miner who
challenged Jim Jeffries, was unable
to make good. He did not get single
lick in on his opponent. Jerffies did
as he announced. He sailed in and
bombarded from the start. 1t was Il
case Of mix It.
There was large crowd present.
In the first round Jeffries knocked
Munroe down and Munroe lacked only
q few seconds of taking the count.
Munroe was hit an upper cut in the
jaw, followed by right and left swings
to the stomach and body. He seemed
very weak.
In the second round Jeffries rushed
his opponent and rained blows on
him until he got him to the ropes.
Munroe was unable TO get mp, and
Jeffries was awarded the decision. lt
was clear to all present that if Nun
roe ever becomes able TO get in Jeffries
class, II will be several years hence.
Kid Mccoy, during the preliminary
announcements, said he would fight
any man in the world, barring
Jeffries.

Grsney was asked about the Incl
dent in the ring following his de-
cision, and said; "Munroe came to
me In rather threatening manner
and asked why / had called off the
fight. His question was so absurd
that could not prevent myself from
laughing, and told him that there was
no calling off of the fight You are
put out; that is all there is to it,. "
