Race Sentiment.

 Under the caption of the North and the Negro we reproduce an article from The Montgomery Advertiser which We do l.now the negro, we understand his weak points and tolerate them. There are some very bad negroes. ne- grces any country Is better off with out their citiz ,nship, but we want to say, there are many excellent negroes. Our experience enables us to discrimi- nate and intelltgently pllc and treat these negroes For many negroes the people of this country have an affection. We have family of old family negroes that we would go up against a battery in their defense. The old family ne- groes love us, and we love them. they would make any sacrifice to save us. have always been loyal. They under stand their relation with our family as master and servant, We understand theirs as former slave and negro. and both are satisfied. And whenever a py ejudice is spoken of towards the ne- gro race. and any violence threatened, hundreds of white men, representatives of the best families in the South. imme- diately arise and say. Don't you touch my old family negroes; don't harm a hair in their head" It Is this senti- ment of natural attachment based upon the modest subserviency and good be- havior of the class of negroes which leavens the loaf to vast extent. Thon there are many excellent negroes, ne groes who desire becoming good citt- zens, negroes who are behaving them selves and their good conduct command them to the good opinion and even pro- lection of the good people.

WILL ANYTHING BE DoNns

It has not been a great while since the steamer General slocum went down in New York waters with about 1000 victims. most of them women and chi1- dren. The entire country was horri- lied, and 1t was not long till truths be- gan to come out which showed that the steamer was a veritable death- trap. Tn hardly any respect was 1t safe vessel. and especially for large excursion party. It was shown that the cupidity and indifference of ohi- cials was directly responsible for the tragedy. A great ado was made about investigations and oficial inquiries. but ss we now remember nothing was done The dead were buried and mourned, . show of zeal was shown in the direction of finding out and pun ishing the guilty parties. and there 1t ended.
 Only . few days ago a boiler of the government ship Bennington exploded in San Diego Bay and considerably over 1c0 persons were killed and wounded Again we are informed that negligence and incompetency were at the bottom of the accident. It Is charged that the boiler was known to be weak, and that repairs had been ordered. but they were not made, and another horrible catastrophe resulted. And again we are told that an investi- gation will be made. the blame placed and somebody punished. We doubt 1t. There will be a stir. passing and re- passing of orders and explanations. and that will probably be the end of 1t all.
 But even if a thorough and complete investigation Is made. and the guilty parties convicted and punished, 1t will not right the wrong nor undo the harm that has been done. It will not bring back one victim. dry one tear or restore to the widows and orphans their natural protectors. If all who were responsible for the Slocum disas- ter could be sent to the penitentiary it would not bring any of the dead to life. and the same can be said of the Bennington affair. The conviction and punishment of all who are or were to blame would be a warning and might have q good effect, even if 1t is only temporary. on all officials in any man. ner responsible for the condition of vessels and the safety of passengers. In this way some good will be accom- plished. and some future disasters avoided.
 But that ts not the first or only thing to bs done. Precaution Is worth more in many instances than punish ment. and that is what is required. There are onhcial inspectors in New York. as we suppose there are at San Diego. It is the duty of those ofiicials. | or some of them. to inspect all vessels used for carrying passengers and not allow them to be overcrowded or to go out at all if in an unsafe condition
 There are government inspectors to | examine vessels belonging to the gov
 ernment and see that they are safe. II | these inspectors had done their duty | there would have been no burning oi
 the Slocum and no explosion on tho | Bennington. If those two occurrences
 shall fully impress upon all concerned
 the truth of the homely old adage thai
 'an ounce of prevention is worth s
 pound of cure" they will not have beer
 altogether in vain.

CRITICIsING THE SENATE.

The fact that Mitchell and Burton and one or two other Senators have been found guilty of disreputable prac- tices and that a few other members of that honorable body are not models of personal and official purity has led to habit of speaking i'll of the Senate as a whole. It is true that certain Senators deserve to wear the stripes of the convict, and it is also true that some others obtained their positions by resorting to methods that no one with a fine sense of honor can excuse or admire. In fact, if strict justice could be done 1t might be that a few vacancies in that body would be cre- ated which would be an advantage to the Senate and the country.
 All this may be admitted without in- dulging in wholesale criticism of one of the highest legislative bodies in the world. There may be a black sheep In the flock without contaminating the others. Even newspaper men some times go wrong but the entire frater- nifty is not to be condemned. The high and holy calling of minister is occa- sionally desecrated by an unworthy member but we do not for that reason accuse all the preachers of being hypocrites or scoundrels
 The Senate of the United States is Q grand and noble body of men. taken as whole. It has contained the names and services of many men who were an honor to that body, to the country and to civilization. It Is the peer of any legislative body on earth and at present 1t has men who add lus- tre to American statesmanship. If there are some men in 1t who are a discredit we must not look on them as examples of the whole. The good men must not be compared and measured with the few of another kind.
 It may be that long contemplation of the many strong and good men who have occupied seats in the Senate has caused us to expect too much of that can do no wrong" has been adopted ir spirit by many of us who think that nc unworthy man can get into the Senate and thus we feel shocked and surprised at cases like those of Mitchell, Burton and one or two others. That the greed and partisanship and ambition of mod ern times has somewhat lowered tn, standard of the Senate is beyond doubt, but we should not allow a few bad examples to blind us to the man! good ones. The Senate is not cor rupt body, even if few of Its mem tLat

NORTHERN CRIrIcIsMs.

The Springfield (Mass.) Union. an independent Republican paper. cannot stomach some of the Presidents errat- by him to the doctors at Long Island recently. of which The Advertiser has heretofore had something to say. It will be remembered that he compared the men who leave Panama through fear of disease and death to soldiers who desert their colors in time of bat tie. and further said that the people to whom the country owes and will owe so much are those who stay down there and do not talk. but do their work and do it we'll" Commenting on this The Republican says:
 Now these American lives which are said to be threatened at Panama may not be as precious. but isn't the Presi- dent about the last man in the whole nation to stand up and ridicule their tially deserters and tell them of their duty to stop talking and do/ their work? If they were to follow his own example when formal duty actually commanded silence and unreasoning g submission, to stop talking and send ing out stories would be the one thing they could not uO.
 This has reference to Roosevelt's own record. The sensational letter | which he wrote to General Shafter In defiance of military regulations. and | idences of his own inclination to talk when he ought to have remained si- lent. The army was threatened with fever and other diseases incident to the climate of Cuba and Roosevelt did not hesitate then. though a military officer. to do just what he now planes civilians for doing. As The Omaha World Herald says. he might occupy his time to better advantage than by scoiding those who. as civilians, mere | ly follow the example he set as an army officer. There are grave and dis turbing rumors of inefflciency and | scandal connected with the adminis- tration of affairs in Panama; rumors that indicate a situation very similar to that against which Roosevelt. in de. fiance of military regulations. protest. ed when a soldier in Cuba. Would i
 
 his active attention to the conditions in Panama and seek to remedy them rather than to content himself witi verbal castigations of those who nov protest as he himself once protested?
 The truth of the matter Is. as tn President is compelled to know. tha most of those who went to Panama t, do canal work were led into a trar The dangerous conditions existing there were not made known to then until revealed by actual experience Either the men who control the cana work were themselves ignorant. whicl is not at all creditable to them. O they deliberately concealed the dan gers and allowed the men to walk int the very jaws of death in ignorance O what they were doing. The cana zone is one of the most unhealthy TO gions of the American continent Tn officials. including the President. wer not ignorant of this. for the history O the Isthmus Is we'll known. and tn sad experience of the French cana builders has not been kept secret.
 It Is unjust. unfair and illogical t compare the working men who he from a hideous and ever-present dan lger to soldiers who desert in time o
