Mr.. Blount referred to the days Of
the reconstruction period at consider
able length and called attention to
the time, still vivid in the minds Of
many, when Pensacola had a negro
mayor-mayor by virtue of being pres
ident o. the council-apd negro city
marshal. He disclaimed any desire to
injure the negro or restrict his rights
in any way, but declared most posi-
lively that the white man should rule;
whatever rights the negro had should
be his but mis- rights did not include
governing the white man. In this
connection Mr.. Biount feelingly refer
red 10 the fidelity of the old eolored
Nanny" of his childhood days, to a
little colored boy, slave, with whom
he made mud piles and explored
gopher holes in his boyhood days aud
to faithful coiored servant who had
been with his family for quarter OF a
century-an We're faithful and, In
their proper place, filed the sphere
for which they were intended. He
had no feeling in the matter other
than that which every white man
should fell IN the supremacy of the
white race. The white man must rule,
irrespective of numbers.
Continuing Mr.. Biount said:
"A singular condition confronts us
In this campaign. The leaders of the
other side say they believe in white
primaries We say We believe in
white primaries. 'Ye shall know them
by their works and We vote the white
primary ticket and they vote against
il. They say they believe but there
are reasons why they should not vote
in the primary. And when we come 90
analyze IL they are purely personal and
purely factiOnal. They say, so | un.
derstand. that the action Of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee was not
legal. but further they will not say.
Frankly, honestly, have not examin-
ed into that question. I am content
TO take the opinion OF the Hon. S. r.
Mallory whom, you all know recently
made an address upon that question.
Bat ! can say this-that even II the
calling of the primary was Illegal and
irregular | would still vote for Il, just
exactly as I expect to vote for il to
morrow. (Applause). And saw
further that ! believe ninetenths Of
the men who say they are against the
primary ticket because they believed
1T was irregular are making a pretense
instead Of speaking their sentiments

Senator Blount closed his address
by urging upon the voters the neces-
sity of standing firm and earnestly
working for the success of the White
Primary ticket, which alone guaran-
teed the control of government by
white men.

Last Nights
Magnificent Gathering.

The last grand rally of the White
Primary Democracy held last night
was unquestionably the greatest poll
teal gathering in the history OF Pen
sacoIa.
There were men on the speakers
stand who had never been together
before in a municipal campaign. They
represented, it may be said, the an
tipodes of factional politics. but they
were united last night as they are to
day.
There were men in the audience
who never voted for the same candi
dates in their lives. but they cheered
for one cause last night and they will
vote solidly for one ticket today.
That great gathering, probably 5000
strong, was representative Of the best
citizenship that Pensacola possesses

our city and who are making it great

ing .nen-the Drawn and brain and
sinew upon which every class is de.
pendent for existence-and it repre-
scented probably 80 per cent of the
business and professional men OF the
city.
But more notable and more potent
than all this was the splendid repre-
sentation OF Pensacola womanhood,
which listened to the eloquence Of the
occasion and applauded TO the echo
every sentiment, for clean politics and
white supremacy which the speakers
uttered. ;:AS. is}
Surely no cause has ever had more
united or a nobler support than the
one in whose interest the great gath
ering of last night was held, and sure
ly no cause ever had brighter hopes
than the one whose issue will be de-
termined by the ballots of voters to
day.

Frank L. Mayes, Mr.. Jones eloquently
referred TO the great service The Jour-
nal had rendered the cause or good

getie support OF the White Democrl-
tic Primary and TO the WORK NJ.
Mayes had done TO the same end The
speaker was. heartily appiauded as he
stepped forward.
Frank L. Mayes-
Mr.. MayeS spoke in part as follows;
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies, Ny Friends
and Fellow Democrats: 1t gives me-
pleasure to stand on the same plat
form tonight with these distinguish
ed and able gentlemen and to speak
in support of a cause which, 10 my
mind, should challenge the support
OF every loyal and patriotic democrat
In this CITY,.
Il am glad to see this magnificent
outpouring of peOpie-glad for two
reasons. First, because your presence
here demonstrates the interest yo1
feei in the men and the issues AT
stake in this campaign: and second,
because the advocates Of the White
Primary system are tonight glad to
meet and greet, face to face. the great
mass of white democracy that is to
carry the day for clean politics and
white supremacy tomorrow. CCheerS
and appiausel.
The opposition has vainly tried to
inject numerous Issues into the cam
paign-iSsues which had no bearing
whatever upon the real question at
stake. They have attacked the legal
ity of the Primary and have lost out
on that proposition. They have tried
70 inject the labor question and have
found out that the mapority of the
laboring men were opposed to them.
(Applause)- They have tried 70 make
an issue out of the purchase of bed

but even that was too hard TO lie
upon. (Laughterl.
Il see In this great gathering and
seated upon this platform, men who
have never been together in a polHi-
cal campaign before in this city. But
in the great common cause of white
democracy and white supremacy they
are together now.

ample Of the trend of public sentiment
on this matter, ! have but to point to

Il regard it a good sign, my
friends, when such men can rise above
the differences Of faction and fight

government
Mr.. Mayes here said that the pri-
mary people had tried TO conduct
clean eampaign-that no word against
the private life or personal character
of any opposition candidate had been
uttered or printed. and that he de-
sired to pay personal tribute to
each of them as gentlemen and good
citizens. He then closed as follows:

only brief address which was de-

against political chicanery at the pools
and warning them that most any old

to defeat the will OF the people. He
urged upon voters the necessity of

by predicting the success of the White

AN ARGUMENT.

An English church has been closed because women have persisted in com ing into it without any covering on their pretty heads but their hair, and the rats and things necessary to make that look well. There is some talk in this country about that kind of women. The Rev. Dr. E. L. Stoddard, rector of St. Joseph's Episcopal church in Jersey City, is one of the clergymen who par ticularly object to women coming to church with their heads uncovered, and his argument is interesting, if not im- portant to the hafrful and hatless wom- en. He points out that the glory of woman is her hair, and it has always been considered one of her charms, to the care of which she devotes much. of her time and upon which she relies for part of her attraction. Is it not, he asks, evident that the church is not the place for the display of this attraction? Is it not clear that to come to church with an elaborate coiffure is to come with something which draws the atten- tion of man to the woman who is so adorned? Is it not plain that this is not in harmony with the angelic spirit which we have just described? We are used more to see in the streets and the atres women with bare heads. On the golf field, on the lake or river, in the mountain climb we are accustomed not only to bare heads, but bare arms and a general negligee, not to say independ- ent and masculine. At bathing resorts we are accustomed to women in vari- ous strange suits of deshabille. It Is unquestioned that in all this woman att tracts the attention and often the ad- miration of men. But it is just this which she is not to do~in church. If l understand ,he apostle right, in the house of her Saviour woman is to be supremely modest, her charms restrain ed, with none of that abandon with which she swings along the field or shore with Drowned arms and dishev- eled locks. There is to be distinction of places. and so of manners.

 The evil of all sympathetic impules is that they are pretty certain to distort our moral perspective. The amount of time. money. effort and, fear, sym pathy at the disposal of any one of us is strictly limited. If we send it on one object some other must go short. They had law in England-I do not know whether they have it stlll-which made It an offence punishable by fine to wrap a frog in wet towel and stretch out the web of its toes on the stage of microscope to demonstrate the circuia- tion of the blood, the frog all the time being about half as uncomfortable as a child on a hard chair. But to get this law passed and enforced cost somebody a good deal of trouble which might bet ter have been bestowed elsewhere.

gunshOt. and being too fat to follow its companions over soft ground looked
 about him a little. and then, seeing
 nothing, actually began to graze on his
 three remaining legs, as if nothing had happened of sufficient consequence to
 keep him from his dinner" But the
 most striking case known to me is this:
 "A post horse came down
 on the road with such violence that the
 skin and sinews of both the fore fetlOck joints were so cut that, on his getting
 up again the bones came through the skin, and the two feet turned up at the back of the legs, the horse walking
 upon the ends of it's leg bones. The horse was put into a field close by and the next morning it was found quietly feeding about the field, with the fore feet and skin forced some distance up the leg bones, and, where it had been walking about, the holes made in the ground by the leg bones were three or four inches deep,'' Animals which do
 these things in cold blood can hardly

 The fact is that with our belief in evolution, the rights of animals. "our
 little brothers of the air, and the rest,
 we are in danger of forgetting that be- tween ourselves and the lower animals there is, after all, great gulf fixed. 1 Whatever may have bridged that gulf
 once, the gulf is there now, and we
 only make ourselves ridiculous when we refuse to see it. Doubtless as civilized men it is our business, along with other l duties, to diminish so far as we can
 the amount of pain in the world. That i nature has been less cruel than we 1 sometimes fear, Is the last reason for i our being more cruel than we need. Yet
 at the same time, we ought to cultivate some sense of proportion and not make more fuss over a guinea pig jabbed in ] the leg with an injecting needle than
 yer a brakeman mashed between freight cars or watercaned "nigger."

NOT LULIED TO SLEEP,

Many Frenchmen are still suspicious of Germany. One of them describes Germany as being busy in Morocco to secure objects of barter in view of fu- ture bargains with France, and warns Frenchmen to be on their guard against a possible renewal of the attempt to secure their adherence to the Baghdad Railway scheme. The real character of that project is, he says, now better un- derstood in France, where there is no longer any temptation to accept the offer made to the Paris Bourse of 40 per cent of the shares. The terms of the concession have strengthened the conviction that the railroad would as- sure the preponderarce of German in- terests from the Bosporus to the Per- sian Gulf. Tn this matter the interests of France and Germany are identical. He declares that it is reasonable to suppose that an attempt on the part of Germany to come to a separate under standing with France on this subject would fail as completely as did the at- tempt made to disturb the entente. In the words of M. Cheradame, to afford Germany the possibility of completing the railroad under her exclusive con- trol would be equivalent to giving her absolute control over Asia Minor and sendering the Kaiser master of the great international route, extending from Hamburg to the Persian Gulf In conclusion, the writer remarks that the German scheme does not take Russian interests into account either, a circum- stance which France will not be dispos- ed to ignore.
