CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
(Dem.) says: THE people of the Unit
ed States pronounced against free sill
yer in 1896 by a majority of 100000
votes and in 1900 again by a majority
of $4,000 votes. If free silver should
be an issue this year, they would prob
ably make 1t million"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem,) says: The decision of the
Arbitration Tribunal at The Hague in
the Venezuela case will not strengthen
arbitration in favor as a means of
settling International differences. For
an Arbitration Tribunal to decide that
the display of force by a creditor ma
ton is all that is necessary to secure
for ii preference over other creditor
nations is, in fact, a triumph for force
rather than arbitration in regulating
the affairs of the world"
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem. }
says: ''The Panama republic is do
ing as well as could be expected. and
no doubt it will soon begin, after the
manner of Cuba, to print and float
bonds. The sum to be paid by the
United States for canal rights will not
last long, and the Panama patriot, like
the cuban patriot, VIII soon demand
pay and pensions, and that means. of
course a bond issue. The republic
is well started, and all it need do now
is to start its bond printing press"

THE NEGRO is A MAN"
REV. w. S. ARMsTEAD
PROE. CHARLES CA

PROF. CHARLES CARROLL.
Some three years ago. as the read
ing public knows, Prof. Carroll pub
lished book The Negro is Beast,
or in the Image of God" In the book
he goes to work and proves by per-
verting the Bible, that the negro is a
beast. This subject has been out
ragged from time to time by like argu-
nents from different people, generally
the ungcdly.
Prof. Carroll, by his wholesale on
Slaught, makes all these attempts in
significant. He says there is no soul
where there is any other blood than
Caucasian. He perverts the Scripture
arrays himself against churches and
sects, and sets at naught the plain
teachings of the book that has been
sacred in all ages.
Rev. Armstead feels it his sacred
duty to defend the Bible and refute
this outrage committed against the
negro. For this purpose he has had
under consideration for two years a
book with the above mentioned title,
The Negro Is a Man." This BOOK
proves that the negro has like rela-
tions to God as other races of the hu-
man family. 1t is a complete answer
in every way to Prof. CAROLS argu-
ment. This book is now ready for the
public. 1t is easy to see it will meet
with ready sale. State agents wanted.

.sThen Nsckie RAM

1T is not too much to say that the
present Tsar is not popular with the
Russian people" says Arnold White in
Everybodys Magazine. THE Rus
slams like Jovial. burly ruler, who can
drink hard, who loves fighting and
whose personal courage is undoubted.
Ever since the episode at Otsu, when
the Tsar's life was endangered by the
wQuld-be murderer, there has been a
doubt as to the personal courage Of the
Tsar. This doubt is owing to an indis-
Greet letter which was written by the
Crown Prince of Greece to his father
and which by some accident or indis-
erection was read by others. From Ath-
ems the report was widely circulated
throughout Europe. The letter de-
scribed the episode of the attempted
assassination and the Crown Prince Of
Greece, after dwelling on the scene
wherein the Japanese mailman struck
at his cousin, the Tsarevitch, used
words which have become historical in
Russia-'Then Nickie ram MCKEE is
the pet name by which the Tsar is
known to his relations, especially to
his cousins, with whom he loves to
cycle. For a long time the half dis
affected and contemptuous clans. which

ran, then Nickie ram
THE episode is not forgotten and the
hands of the Emperor as peacemaker
are seriously hindered by the sugges-
ton of pusiiianimity in a moment or
danger. The suggestion is probably
unjust, but continual living in an
electrical atmosphere with assassina-
ton always in the air and the MEM
DRY that the majority of his ancestors
have persisted by violent death has no
doubt strained the nerve of the Rus
sian Emperor''

A Missouri Munchausen.

There are some pretty fair Nimrods
in Missouri now, but story which is
printed in an old history of Galloway
county shows that some of those of
former days could make contemporary
sportsmen look like 80 cents either as
shots or as raconteurs, says the Kan
sas City Journal. Mr.. Calvin Tate, -
according to this history, says that
the wild pigeons were so plentiful one
summer that frequently when they
would alight on a tree it would bend
down to the ground with their weight.
He went hunting one day, and seeing
fine lot of pigeons in tree he hitch
ed his horse to one of the limbs and
fired and killed 300 at one shot. The
rest flew away, and as soon as the
tree was relieved of their weight it
Strengthened up, carrying his horse
with it, and the poor brute had to

UNFORTUNATE KOREA.

Both Russia and Japan are of the
opinion APPARENTLY that Korea is go
ing TO be, to a very considerable ex-
tent. the battle ground of their war.
Before hostflities began the Korean
government had approximations of
something of the kind, and FASTENED
to announce that 1T would observe
strict neutrality. Secretary Hay. in
his circular note to the Powers re-
speeding China's neutrality and adj
ministrative entity, made no men
ton whatever of Korea. That was a
tacit admission that a part of the
war would be fought on Korean soil,
and that Korea might be one of the
prizes of the victor.
Both Russia and Japan, in their lat
est diplomatic moves, seem to be seek
ing advantages so far as Korea is
concerned. Russia has made a COM
plant to the effect that Japan has
violated Korea's neutrality. This is in
terpreted to mean that Russia, If she
Is successful In her war with Japan,
intends to annex Korea. On the other
hand Japan has made a treaty with
Korea in which she guarantees her
independence. and for which guaranty
she is TO have certain privileges on
Korean soil and in Korean harbors
during her war with Russia That
would seem to be generous and just
on the part of Japan. If she is sim
cere in that policy it ought to Sc
cure for her the good will of this
and other countries.
But is Japan sincere? That Of course
Is a question that cannot be answered
satisfactorily at this time. 1t is rea-

this time II she could have helped her.
self. She knew Of course that II would
excite the IN will of Russia, and that
there was a pretty even chance that
Japan wouldn't be able to do what
she had undertaken in the treaty to
do. A reasonable presumption is there
fore that Japan coerced Korea into
making the treaty. But If that is the
case it will not be generally known,
and Japan will get the credit of taxi
ing very high ground in her treat
ment of Korea.
AS a mater OF fact the treaty, if
1t is rightly understood. gives Japan
pretty nearly all she wants in Korea.

of authority over her. Under that au-

A Jannnene War Story

Lafcadio. Hearn, the American writer
resident in Japan, said in recent let
ter apropos of the Japanese war:

Russia. The thought of war excites
them to pleasant laughter. Over our

lance Mutsu told Japanese war story
that you may think interesting.

CAPABLE MEN DEMAND.

Notwithstanding the fact that places
on the Panama Canal Commission are
very desirable. not only because Of
the salary. and length OF term Of Of
fee. but also because OF the opportun-
ity of having ones name connected
with the greatest engineering work
Of the age, the Presidents appoint
ments have not been accepted by all
of those to whom they have been tend
dered. This is not because those to
whom appointments were offered do
not fully appreciate the honor, and
disturbances of places on the COM
mission. but because of the unwill-
ingness OF those to whom they were
under obligations to release them.
An appointment was offered TO Mr.
Alfred Noble. chief engineer Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. It seems that
Mr.. Noble would have gladly accept
ed, but the railroad did not want to
part with him. Mr.. Cassett, the pres
ident Of the Pennsylvania, went to
Washington to see the President about
the matter.
1t is probable that Mr.. Noble gets
a much larger salary than he would
as a member of the commission. Still,
il is pretty certain that he would have
gladly accepted a place on the COM
mission for the honor of being asso-
ciated with such great work as that
of the Panama canal, if he had not
felt that he was under binding obli-
cations to the Pennsylvania. OF
course, his work on that great rail-
road is of a kind that makes him
known in his profession, but not to
the world. AS a member of the Pam
anna Canal Commission his name would
become a familiar one in all ports Of
the world.
1t appears, also, that a place on
the commission has been offered to Maj.
B. H. Harrod of New Orleans. who
at last accounts was considering it.
AS soon as it was known, that the
President regarded him with favor for
appointment on the commission, there
was a vigorous protest by leading
New Orleans property holders against
his acceptance Of it.
Their interest in him is that he is
is the head of the great drainage
work which has been undertaken in
that city, and they felt they could
not spare him. They did not know
where to get an engineer in whom
they could place such implicit con-
hdence. They knew, of course, that
plenty of engineers were to be had,
but they also knew the. difficulty of
getting one so satisfactory in every
particular as he was.
We mention these two men as in
dicating that capable men-men, in
whose ability, judgment and integrity
employers, and the public have conf
dence-are always in demand. And
this rule holds good in respect to
men generally, whatever their pro-
fession, business or occupation may
be.
Corporations as well as governments
are on the lookout all the time for
men who have shown that they can
do things that are wanted done and
that they are to be trusted. For such
men the world has plenty of prizes,
and their success is limited only by
their capacity.
