Twenty-Five Years of Electrical
 Development.
New York Times.

New York Times.
 The recognition by the American Insti- ute of Electrical Engineers, in a men- orable banquet last evening, of the twen- ty-tfth anniversary of practical electric lighting, which began with the intr6duc- tion of the Edison incandescent lamp, gave opportunity for the founding of the Edison Medal, which will be used as an encouragement and reward for useful work in the field of applied electricity. It also chanced to be the fifty-sevenGh birthday of Nr. Edison. As the years pass, the appreciation of his work in- creases. and that he is now rated by those of his own profession as one of the greatest of Americans is not at all sur prising. That his work is not yet fin- ished is counted cause for National con- graduation. r
 It requires some mental effort fully to realize that practically all we know of electricity in its useful applications is so recent that 1t has occurred within the memory of the present generation. No other period of twenty-five years is like ly to be characterized by as rapid and brilliant a succession of discoveries and inventions in this line, and probably tlIe best work of the next fifty years will be found in bringing the many still crude applications of electricity to useful pur- poses up to the standard of those which have been most highly developed. When 1t is remembered that when the civil war broke out Edison was selling news papers in the cars of the Grand Trunk Railway, and that all that he and others have accomplished in electrical develop ment has been done since about 1S70 1t is not at all surprising that this devei- opment has been somewhat irregular and that a great deal of useful work yet re- mains to be done to equaliZe 1t. If the Edison Medal is devoted to the encour- agement of this unrecognized and ua- heralded work it will be employed to the best advantage. The great discoveries reward themselves

PRESIDENT ELIOT pUzzIEp,


 In the very notable address made by President Eliot of Harvard before the Armstrong Association of New York on Friday night last. there are many state ments that will catch the eye. He was of course under the auspices of that As- problem. He declared emphaticalIy that the Northern people are just as strongly opposed to any admixture of the races as their Southern brethren. He admitted that the negro was more tolerantly treat ed at the South than he is by the la- boring element of the North; and he con- fessed that in the South his industrial opportunities are better. He concluded, too, by announcing that there was a growing sympathy at the North for the Southern people who are really bearing the burden of contact with a backward race. / There Is one thing, however. he cannot understand, and that is why the Southern white should shrink from riding in the same railroad car, sitting at the same table, sleeping in the same hotel or living quietly under the rule of a negro Alder man or legislator. These do not involve social equality. he says; Northern people do not regard them as involving social equality, and for the life of him he can not see why the Southern should. Here is candid mind, and he has an uncora- monly candid mind, that can gravely ar- que there Is no social equality implied in giving the negro free entrance to ho- | tels and dining rooms, to theatres and all other public resorts; none in admit ting him to the fullest participation in the suffrage and to the privilege of hold l ing office irrespective of its rank. You are what you are, he seems to say, and no power can make the negro your social equal if you choose to deem him your inferior.
 We are not proposing to thrash all thls old stuff over. We mention 1t as a GU. riosity. It shows how utterly impossible 1t is for the better element at the North charged as it Is with more or less TO- mantle sentiment about the negro, to un derstand the South's dread of any, tkt least step in the direction of putting that race on par with the whites.
 Fortunately, the South will be left f, work out her race problem to the bcst of her ability unvexed by the great bod, of the Northern people. On sleeper moi far from Montgomery the other d,, there was an animated discussion of Uni, question and many others. By way. O bringing the talk to an end one ma, present said cit is curious to see t, South that has no trusts, busy settlIn, the trust problem at the North; while th North, which has no negro problem. n busy settling that problem at the South. A silent man who had not spoken befo.e broke tn: "YOu are mistaken. am Republican from Massachusetts. w don't care a continental about the lie gro."

MADE PROGRESS IN JANUARY.
Cold Weather Did Not Much Delay Work on Worlds Fair Buildings.


 In his report on the progress of work on the Worlds Fair structure, Director of Works Taylor shows that satisfactory headway was made during January, not withstanding the cold weather of the lat- ter part of tho month.
 The report, filed February 1, shows that nearly all of the main exhibit palaces are practically finished. The main Art Pal acc. which is a permanent structure, IS the most backward, and 1t is 90 per cent. finished. Among the State buildings. Missouri, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arizona, Utah, Connecticut and Nevada are finished. Iowa and Kansas are 99 per cent. finished and work on the remaining State pavIi- ions is sufficiently advanced to warrant the statement that all will be completed by the day set for the opening of the Exposition, April 90.
 Of the twenty-six of the larger con- sessions on The Pike the Galveston Flood is the most nearly finished. It is is re- ported as lacking but 3 per cent of com pletion. More than 200 of the buildin ss in the Jerusalem replica are built and the entire reproduction is 70 per cent. finished. The Pike features, on an aver age, may be said to be about 50 per cent. finished. The Intramural Railway, with is four teen miles of track, was auspiciousiy opened during the last week of January. There are six cars now in commission. During the Exposition the cars twill l e run in trains of three cars each.

THE DEAD CRAFTSMAN.

The death at Whshington yesterday 6i Senator Marcus Alonzo Ifanna removes from the active duties of life ihan who was in many respects one of the really
 great men of the day. To judge of him
 by what he has accomplished. we are
 compelled to concede that he had in him
 some of the clements that make men
 great in any station of life, and this is
 the surest way to form correct esti-
 mate.
 Had Mir. Hanna gone into politics In
 early life there is hardly reason to doubt
 that he might have attained the highest
 position in the gift of his party. He
 choge to devote himself to business. and
 by his quick perceptions of the needs
 of the country and his faculty for organ izing and managing great business iii-
 terests. he amassed fortune. and as the executive head and managing spirit of great manufacturing industries he made
 himself known and felt all over the West, as we'll as elsewhere. He was essentially an organizer and manager.
 Mir. Hanna's entrance into politics was almost an accident A short while before MT. Mckinley was nominated for tine Presidency in 1896 he was suffering under serious financial embarrassments. He had made investments which turned out badly. and it is not too much to say that was then that his old friend. Mark Han na. came to his relief. He took hold of his friends business and investments in his own masterful style. and not only saved McKjpley from bankruptcy but finally left him a snug balanA for the future.
 Under these circumstances, knowing Hanna's faculty for organization and for controlling men. it is not surprising that the future President induced him to take command of his campaign, and it is doubtful if a more compact or better handled political organization was ever effected than the one which resulted in the triumph of the Republican Party Tn that year, and it is not saying too much to give Hanna great credit for that suc- cess. Nor has tho country probably ever known a time when any political party was better organized and handled than the Republican Party was while Hanna controlled it, and which Is to be credited with the second election of Mckinley in 1900 Q,
 With these political triumphs to his credit. 1t is not strange that the Re- publicans of Ohio should have taken him up in 1897 and elected him to the United States Senate, or that he should have become prominent in the counsels of his party and in the affairs of the country. He was not brilliant man. a great or ator or really a great statesman! He his fellow men, but he had a wonderful stock of hard common sense and the courage of his convictions-attributes which often triumph over mere brilliancy or oratory. He was man to be listened to and needed.
 Lying in the silent chamber of death he is freed from the warfare and turmoil of political strife. and those who diff fered with him in politics and who fought him face to face, can well lay aside all feeling of party bitterness and regard himzas a prominent figure in the public affairs of the country who has gone to his reward. May he rest now and here after.

It Was Advertently Published.

Selma Times. '--T Ff
 The Montgomery Advertiser was very unfortunate few days ago in allowing some one to poke fun at Selma's hotel accommodations What has Montgomery nothing. We truthfully believe If big fire should sweep over Montgomery s principal hotels, there would be a slaughter of certain little insects that world if they could be enumerated. From personal experience we think it would be as hard to enumerate the pests alluded to. It Is true that there are several can be had, but where is there a single hotel in keeping with the Capital City or a great State? Selma, for It's size, has far better hotel accommodations than our big neighbor up the river, and the Old Lady should be careful how she allows any tufts of grass to be flung at us.

 The Republican State Central Commit tee will meet here Wednesday to fix the date and place for the State Convention, which will select delegates to the Nation al Convention and determine whether the stand pat or the tarin revision ele- ment in the party is in control.
 Friends of Governor Cummins and the Iowa idea" believe they will be able to control the organization of the convention and control the committees in opposition to the stand pat" element. It now is practically certain, however. that there will be a line up for the control of the delegation to the National Convention, advocates on the one hand. and J. w.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1e, 1904.
A NATURAL EFFECT.

As an evidence that mistreatment of colored people by the whites injures the latter in any community, we copy the following from The New York Age, one of the organs of the negro race:
 We see that the white people in the three counties of Lincoln. Franklin and Arnite are in desperate straits because, the Afro Americans have left those -eosan- ties on account of the whitecap outrages. The white people are In bad, condition be- cause they can get no one to work theIr crops. and we are informed that 50 per cent. of the cotton land is likely to Ee idle this year because tEe Atro-Amer' leans refuse to work the land, and are emigrating as fast as possible from these three countieJ, and we strongly urge that no others go there to take their places. We hope that every minister and every leader in the State will see that this ad- vice is needed.
 We know nothing concerning the partIc- ulars of these alleged outrages in Mississippi, but it is fair to assume that the charges are at least partly true, for the negroes would not thus be leaving their homes without some cause. If they are thus leaving be- cause of whitecapping or other outrages inflicted on them on account of their color 1t is easy to see how much injury may be inflicted on the farmers, and through them on the entire region through failure to get colored labor. The fatlure to grow a full crop of cotton may mean serious embarrassment to the planters, and that will spread to all who are dependent on them. If the negroes leave and others refuse to come, and all because of mistreatment by thear white employers, the result may be little less than disastrous to the planting In- terests of the counties named.
 Let no one make the mistake of think ing the advice we copy from The Age will have no influence, for it would re- ally be very broad mistake. News through a negro paper will spread among &he race much faster than it would through papers published by the white people, and advice from such a source win be taken by them with far more readiness than would the advice of white people.
 As stated before. we know nothing of the particulars of the troubles in the counties referred to. and it is likely that the negroes may have been to blame in the first place, bt that is no defence If the colored people have in any man. ner violated the law, the white people have Q legal remedy and they should apply 1t. There are laws in Mississipp as well as in other States of the South and there is no community where a whit, man cannot obtain, justice against tn, negro without himself violating the law guilty of whitecapping they may yet SC their error in a very unexpected way.

MISS ROOSEVELT
Shows Anger Over Senator Morgan's
 Attack on Her Father.


 Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 'T'he President has taken a course which would have cost the King of Great Britain his crown, if not his head"
 When Senator Carmack, who was read ing Senator Morgan's speech in the Sem ate this afternoon thundered out this sentence, there was a movement in the diplomatic gallery, and Miss Alice Roose- welt. accompanied by several other young women, arose from the front seats they had been occupying and departed. Miss Roosevelt's face was slightly flushed and she held her head high in the air. Her friends followed, laughing and joking at her anger.
 The sentence quoted was the climax of an attack which Senator Morgan had directed against President Roosevelt. As the Alabama Senator was unable to make himself heard, Carmack was reading the speech. No Senator on the minority side arraigns the President more bitterly in his speeches than does Carmack, and consequently he read these words with great gusto. Miss Roosevelt and some friends entered the diplomatic gallery shortly before Carmack arose and werc of course unaware that they were to hear one of the strongest personal crit icisms of Roosevelt which has been heard in the Senate this year.

Gov. Allison's Favorite Place.

LouIsVIIIe Courier Journal.
 Governor Cummlns, with his Iowa idea" has so stirred up things in his State that Senator Allison has been frightened out of any purpose to go to the Republican National Convention as delegate.

Senator Allison never cares to take sides If he can take a fence instead.
