A NEW sMOKELEss POWDER.

A statement published in yesterdays
Journal indicates that an Indiana man may
have invented smokeless powder superior
to any now in USE The alleged inventor
is James p. Mitchell, of White county. A
dispatch from Monticello stated that an at
torney of that place had returned from
Washington with patents on the invention.
and he also arranged for thorough tests of
the powder by the army and navy ordnance
departments. The dispatch said:
The powder is a pinkish granular SUBJ
stance Lit is claimed that it has three
times the explosive power of any powder
now in use, is smokeleSS and odorless

conclusion, but only by a spark and that
handle than other gunpowders. Another
great advantage claimed for it is that
moisture does not destroy its explosive
properties. Ii is asserted that after soak
ing three weeks in water its explosive
qualities are absolutely restored by ten
minutes drying. Tests have shown its abil-
ity to drive a bullet from No. 3 Winches-
ter rifle through thirty-six inches OF oak,
seventy inches of pine, or one-half-inch of
steel plate, at a range of thirty feet. The
attorney not only secured patents for his
client but also aroused great interest
among the ordnance officials of the army
and navy, to whom quantities of the pow
der are TO De shipped immediately Tor eX-
hauStiVe tests.
All the points OF superiority claimed for
the new powder are important, and the
establishment of any one of them by official
tests would make it the best smokeless
powder in the world.
Smokeless powder is a comparatively re-
cent invention, and the United States was
one of the last governments to adopt it,

GOVERNOR vARDAMAN on NEGRO
EDUCATION.

a short time ago Governor Vardaman, of
Mississippi, won general commentator by
promptly calling out the State militia to
protect two negroes who had committed
murder from threatened lynching. His
action was considered the more remarkable
because he had been elected on an anti
negro platform and was known as an anti
negro man. His action in that case was
highly creditable to him, and he put it
on the just ground that as long as he was
Governor the laws should be enforced.
Now comes a dispatch stating that he
has vetoed a bill appropriating $500 for
the support of a colored normal school at
Holly Springs. The dispatch adds that in
his veto message the Governor takes ground
against negro education, stating that it is
not the best thing for the negroes. Per-
haps he thought to even things up from
Southern point of view by showing his
hostility to the negro as an offset to his
action few weeks ago. Most of the papers
and persons outside of Mississippi that
praised his former act will condemn This
one.
y Governor should be able to give some
better reason for vetoing a bill than a
mere personal prejudice theory, espe-
cially one that is contradicted by reason
and experience. The reason given in this
case is unworthy of respect. If education
is a good thing for whites it is a good
thing for negroes. Experience proves that
it is good thing for negroes by the large
number of them who have become intelli-
gent and prosperous citizens since the war.
Because the comparatively little education
the negroes have received in the brief time
since their emancipation from slavery has
not yet elevated the whole race, and be-
cause some of those who have learned to
read and write are lazy, shiftless or vicious,
Governor Vardaman concludes that educa-
ton is not good for the negro. His con-
clusiOn is devoid of sense or reason.
The colored population of Mississippi
largely outnumbers the white. BY the last
census there were 633,575 whites and 9O7,47
negroes. 1t is astonishing that the Cover
nor of a State should wish to keep con-
siderably more than half it's population in
perpetual ignorance and should put him.
self on record as saying he did not think
education was good for them.

THE MINERS VOTE.

Scattering returns of the miners vote
on Tuesday indicate a decided majority
in favor of accepting the compromise prop
cial and far from complete, the returns
are widely enough scattered to indicate
the result with reasonable certainty.
The officers of the national union, in
Guiding President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis and Secretary Wilson, deserve much
credit for the promptness with which, after
the referendum adopted. they set about
influencing the miners to vote against a
strike. They did this Immediately with
out knowing how their efforts would be
received. There is much evidence that
they were very effective and contributed
in no small degree to the result.
A fact of some significance is that several
local unions where there is a large foreign
element gave majority in favor of strik-
ing. the foreigners voting solidly that way.
while as a general rule the miners who
were property owners voted against strik-
ing. This goes to prove what has often been
shown before. that foreign miners are more
apt to resort to strikes and violence than
those of native birth, and that owning
property makes men conservative. Most
property owners are married. and a man
who has a wife and family to support is
apt to think several times before voting
for strike that may take the bread out
of their mouths.
The referendum is likely to furnish an
interesting illustration of the average in
tellgence and conservatism of the miners.
Their delegates, who have met here annu-
ally now for several years, have always
made a favorable impression as men of
good sense. sound Judgment and capacity
for managing their own affairs. This year
they erred in refusing to accept the COM
promise offer of the operators, but their
error is likely to be corrected by the vote
of their constituents. In particular local
tiles the foreigners, radicals and hotheads
carried the day, but as a whole the vote
vindicates the good sense of the miners

The japanese treasury budget shows the
government is preparing to meet the ex-
penses of the war by the usual means-war
taxes and loans. The war expenses from
the beginning of hostilites to the end of
March are estimated at 156,OOOOOO yen, or
s7S,OOo.Oo0, and those from April to the end
of the year at SSO,OOO,cOO yen, or $3.50, 900 600.
To meet these expenditures the government
will issue bonds to the amount of $4,000 900
yen, or S1i0.0OOOc0, and will raise the rest
by war taxes. As yet there is no talk of
placing a foreign loan or going outside for
pecuniary help, though the Japanese in
Hawaii and San Francisco subscribed large
ly for the bonds.
