PRIVATE MAILING CARDS
VS..
POSTAL CARDS.

The using of the words UHited
States of America on the address
side of a private mailing card
will be prohibited after July 1st.
This ruling has led to the publ
cation variously that the private
mailing card in it's entirety had
been ruled against by the post
Office department, while, in fact,
the ruling simply refers to the
infringement of the rule against
lin likeness or similitude" of the
regular United States postal
card.
We clip the following from the
Macon Telegraph, which is mis-
leading, at least in it's headlines:
PRIVATE POST CARDS
ARE DISCONTINUED.
MACON PosToFFICE OFFICIALS MOTT
FLED THAT THE WILL NOT BE
USED AFTER JULY 1sT."
Business men of Macon having
private postal cards, had better
use them before July /, as the
local postofice officials have been
notified by the government that
their use will be discounted afte r
that date. These private cards
bear on the address side the
words: United States of
America" aud are lin likeness
or similitude" of the regular
United States postal card, there
fore, in violation of law and I'M
mailable.
However, in order to give
owners of such cards reasonable
time to dispose of those on hand,
postmasters will accept them
for mailing until July /, 1904, up
on payment of postage at the
proper rate. On aud after that
date, though, such cards will be
treated as unavailable at any
rate of postage. 1t is understood
that this decision affects chiefly,
if not altogether, the souvenir
card, of which large numbers
have been sold in recent years.

WE ARE SATISFIED.

The Union Republican Of Georgetown
in speaking OF the proposition for sus-
sex TO send her long-torm prisoners
TO the New Castle county workhouse,
says: "The whole truth Is that New
Castle has white elephant on her
hands and wishes the-twu-lower coun-
ties to help her feed g."
But that isn't the whole truth In
fact. there isn't even a grain Of truth
in It, We don't think that anyone in
New Castle county cares particularly
what Sussex does with her prisoners
as long as she keeps them so that they
are not menace to the public.
II is wcll-known that Sussex has no
jail that win hold anybody who wants
TO get out And since It would cost her
a large sum TO build a modern peniten-
uary suggestions have been made that
she send her long term prisoners to
our workhouse. But New Castle
doesn't really wish their company. For
while there is charm Of manner
which makes the average Sussex coun-
tian a welcome guest yet this does not
extend TO prisoners.
No; we are willing that Sussex
county prisoners shall still run at large
like livestock or Sussex editors, for
New Castle county can get along with
out borrowing criminals, since she has
enough Of her own.

REFoRMERs AND AelrAroRs.

There is continued agitation over the
negro question. and any thoughtful
student must conclude that the prob
lem is made more complex by the vlo-
lent and irrational utterances Of those
who presume TO discuss it, The man
who attempts 10 consider IL calmly is
denounced, while the agitator finds IN
Il a theme after his own heart, since
he can stir the passions OF his hearers
on this theme as he can on any other.
But 1t is pleasant to see that the agi-
tators are not to be left y undisputed
possession Of the field, And il is also
well to note that those who are dis
posed to treat the negro fairly are not
confined TO the North. Among the re-
cent contributions on the subject we
note a series Of very thoughtful articles
from the pen Of Thomas Nelson Page.
His viewpoint is that of a Southerner,
but 1t is an honest expression Of opin-
ion, based on a great array of facts,
Then there is Booker r. Washington
who naturally favors his own race. yet
who amid the storm Of controversy has
remained temperate and cool and has
continued to give his people that good
advice which Is applicable TO any race,
Then the other day Bishop Galloway
at an educational conference at Br-
mlngham delivered an address which
was warmly commended by his audi-
ence. Being a southerner he insisted
ON separate schools ana churches and
declared that the white race must con-
tlhue dominant, but~he urged educa-
tional aud moral training OF the ne.
groes, because the welfare Of the whole
people demands the elevation OF the
negro, and because Christianity de-
mands justice for all.
Contrast these ideas with the lurid
utterances OF the agitators, and we see
whose opinions must prevail IN the so-
luton OF the problem. Senator Till
man talks of bloodshed and extermina-
tlon. Governor Vardaman finds his
remedy IN keeping the negro in abso-
lutte Ignorance. Bishop Turner declares
that G6d never made a white man and
would have the negro write books and
poems, and negro Moses of this state
declares that the blood I'm his veins is
as good as that Of any man in the
country. II is safe TO say that none of
these is Fastening the solution Of the
negro question.

IN A PICKLE.

Poor Councill 1t Is lin pickle" Il
is being denounced by taxpayers for
the manner In which business has been
transacted. although Council has the
expenditure OF but a small portion of
the money Of the city"
This Is the defense that greets our
eyes from day 10 day. but were these
councilmen running one Of our great
business concerns they would be called
to the Office TO get their pay envelopes
in short order, ana be left TO secure
other jobs.
There are certain tlBngs for which
Council Is responsible. and the evasion
of which cannot be CLOSED over. It
has paid out money for contracts which
might have been let at less figure. It
has failed to collect taxes due and de-
llnquent; and its agents have deprived
the city Of thousands Of dollars Of rev.
enue by reducing assessments without
any apparent reason.
Further than this. It has not dealt
honestly with the public. when the
delinquent lists were published the
press pointed out that many names
were omitted, that persons owing taxes
Tor years FOR some reason had their
names omitted. It was then the busi-
ness OF Council to demand the publlca-
ton OF complete lists as required by
Inv, but Council refused 20 act. ana
the public was left IN the dark as to
the fun amount that was delinquent
Ia short, Council has done those
things IL ought not to have done ana
has lesi undone the things that il ought
TO have done and IL there Is amy health
On 1t that consists IN The little minority
which the tax-payers We're wise enough
10 send 10 represent them. Ana the
taxpayers are lnsely 10 send this mi-
nority back again 10 sit helpless.
