LONGLEY OF LA GRANGE.

Judge F. M. Longley Of La Grange.
Ca, thus spreads himself through the
columns of Hoke Smiths organ, the
Atlanta Journal:
81 lived through the stormy sixties.
I saw the gray hairs of noble, educat-
ed old men driven from the polls and
tlat-nosed, grinning cottonfeld Ne
groes given the ballot, as a punish
ment to Georgians, and to perpetuate
Republican domination.
The Negro was elevated and invest
ed with the sacred right of ruler, for
which he was then, as well as now, ut
terly and anonymously, by nature and
by the decree of God, as I believe, in
capacitated. 1t is now universally adj
mitted that this was a stupendOus mis-
take and crime against the white
race"
There was time when the hills
and wales of Georgia would have re-
sounded with acclamations Of delight
at this rhodomOntade. But the GeOr-
gians have grown weary Of these rem
iniscences, and doubt whether Judge
Longley knows any more about the de-
crees of God than the rest Of us. They
are more interested in the present
ownership of the Piedmont Hotel bar
than in the stupendous mistakes of the
stormy sixties" They fear Tom Wat
son more than they do legion OF
''fat-nosed grinning cctton-field Ne
groes" IN fact Judge Longley seems
to be utterly and anonymously inca
pacitated" to diagnose the political sit
uation He should step down and out,
not flag superauous ON the stage
Cursed be Canaan sermons are sup
aranuated.

vARDAMAN ON ROOSEVELT.

We are sadly grieved at being COM,
PEELED to state that Governor Varda-
man firmly and sternly refuses to be
placated and still continues to pour
out the walls of his wrath upon the
Presidents head and the rest of his
body. And not only his own wrath
but that of nine-tenths of the white
people of the state.
The governors grievances are as fol-
lows:
Specification 1: Mr.. Roosevelt vio-
lated his oath of office by suspending
or abolishing a postoffice at county
seat and thereby Inconvenience a
whole community because it refused
80 submit to political and social equal
ity with the Negro.
Specification 2: He has not had
The manhood to correct the SANDER
on Jefferson Davis, which, in my judg-
ment, is a Islander of the whole South
ern people. Until he does correct that
fasehood shall never have any re
spect for him.
Specification 8: 1 notice another
thing which think destroys all of the
good that could possibly come from
his visit to the South, even if the past
were blotted out, and that is this one
paragraph in his Tuskegee speech:
"The future of the South now depends
upon the people of both races living UP
to the spirit of the law, Of the laws oi
their several states, and working out
the destiny of both races, not as races
but as law-abiding American citizens

RESULTS SATISFACTORY.

The Afro-American has actual cause
to congratulate himself upon the re-
suits of the recent elections; for they
were decidedly in his favor and he
was by no means an irrelevant factor
in bringing them about. The great
victory was in Maryland, where the
ubiquitous "Poe Amendment was
completely buried out of sight and the
unsavory German Bourbons routed,
horse, foot and dragons. The whole
German machine went to wreck:
"All at once, and nothing first,
Just as bubbles do when they burst
In Virginia, there was a contest be-
tween Democracy and Lily-Whiteism
and Lily-Whiteism went under, or
over the hills to the poor-house. The
Afro-American voters wisely refused
to support the Lily-White aspirant for
governor, SO,
HE smiled kind Of sickly smile,
And curled UP on the floor,
And the subsequent proceedings,
Interested him no more"
Tammany managed to push McClel-
Ian through by scratch, on the face
OF the returns; but Hearst is vigor-
ously contesting the election; at all
events Mcclellan is done for as Presi-
Dental timber.
In Georgia.. Hoax Smith, backed by
Tom Watson. is carrying on cam
paign on the direct issue of Afro
American disfranchisement. but there
seems to be no doubt OF what the re-
suit will be when the election is held.
Tom Watson will be Hoke's cold man
Of the Sea- if the Piedmont Hotel
bar don't do him up, as seems likely.
SO we end as we began by congratu-
lating the race upon the results of the
elections.

If the bank people can accept his

IF it is the government, of course,

ing on their part to insist. MY hus-

WASTING HIS TIME.

The Charleston News and Courier
takes the pains to write out, in full an
elaborate apology to the South upon
the signing of which the President
will be forgiven. Mr.. Roosevelt has
only to clothe himself in sack cloth
and ashes and on Bonded knee say:
81 wish to withdraw those state
ments, to express to the South sor-
row for those words written in haste,
and to beg that my mistakes and mex
cusable rudeness to Mr.. Jefferson
Davis be not remembered against me-
We greatly fear that the South Car
DINA editor wasted his time in writing
I'D that apology. The President is do
ing all he can to promote the moral
and material interests of the South,
but that does not imply that he will
sacrifice his own conscientious convlc-
lions at Southern dictation.
We have not learned that the News
and Courier has had word of rebuke
for Gov. Vardaman, who accuses the
President of violating his oath OF Of
fee. Perhaps it thinks that the South
has a divine right to indulge in 'inex-
cusable rudeness."

There is very great and general
jubilation over the fact Of the defeat

ment, by an adverse majority OF

states the case thus: "This is crafty

many to nullify a provision OF the ma

pose, as everybody knows, was that
which has been accomplished in most
of the old slave states by the incorpor-
alton of substantially the same pro-

SOME QUAINT MENU CARDS

Designers OF menu cards and menu
holders, ever quick to derive inspira-
ton from the, topic of the moment,
dressed cardboard dolls like little
Japanese beauties yesterday and set
the damsels,, in recognition of the
new alliance, to support the cards on
which dinner menus were inscribed.

Dolls have been very popular of
late as menu holders; their cardboard
faces are charmingly painted by hand
and upon their cardboard bodies
paper toilettes are arranged.
The motor car has pressed into
the service Of the designer so fire.
quently of late that new form of it
as a menu holder would appear to be

ton, though only made of cardboard,
the automobile is a perfect wonder.

In the earlyenineties, when the fam
Gus .sSnake sline,',' the Central Massa-

emily, one of the most prominent con-
ductors had the following humiliating
experience:
On leaving the city, when he first
came through the train collecting the
tickets, an old woman. who had bar
ricaded herself in two seats by~num-
sberless handbags and bundles, and
had hung a: large bird cage from the
hook above her head, handed him her
tickets and told him to be sure and tell
her when the train reached Wayland.
He promised faithfully, and continued
taking up the tickets.
On his return trip from the rear of
the car, the old lady told him again
to be sure and not forget to tell her
when the train reached Wayland.

II do not believe that Mr., Roose-

and if his advice were followed it
would lead to interminable trouble in
the state of Mississippi. 1t is the

shameless declaration in favor of po-

that was ever made by any white man
on earth who had any regard for the
