fender was brought before the
council which man who wan the
leading merchant of the place and
the mayor besides. 1t was neces-
sary to have present the white man
who was generally known as the
owner OF the horse to shed light
on the situation by swearing as to
whether he still owned the animal.
And here rose very unique situa-
ton.
The witness swore that he had
sold the colored man the animal
and had received all of the pur-
chase price except one dollar, but
nevertheless contended that the
title remained in him until the
dollar was paid, this, he said, be-
ing agreed on by him and the col
ored man at the time the trade
was made. The effect of this tes-
timony ought to have been to re-
lease the prisoner; but not so.
The very learned judge decided
that as the colored man had paid
all of the purchase money except
the very.small sum of one dollar
he really owned the horse and
hence should be fined for letting
him drink at the right side of the
trough. A sentence of one month
in the local changing or the alter
native of fine of $40 was impos-
ed on the luckless prisoner Now
comes the strangert part of the
whole matter. The prisoner not
having the $40 and deciding that
it would be best to serve the time,
so informed the Judge and asked
that the horse be sent to his home.
This decision did not please the
judge, who Immediately declared
that the money must be paid. and
proceeded to auction the horse off
for little more than the $40 and
after paying the former owner the
one dollar due him. confscated the
balance for fine and osts.-N. Y.

Bealer would have the Southern
ministry fritter away its strength
in striking at shadows. We cease
to wonder at the religious barren
ness of the church in this section.
The harvest of tie murderers is
natural and to be expected amid
such poverty stricken stuff of re-
ligion. If Mr. Bealer is repre-
sentative minister of this section,
we are in pitiful fix. Religion,
by this standard, becomes a mass
of hypocritical, outward profession,
a wholesale and unholy worship of
color. Nearly all of the misunder-
standings that have existed be-
tween the races are at bottom the
exaggerated conceptions of the i'm
portance of white skin. If it
seems whimsically extravagant to
the white man, nevertheless, it
seems extremely trite to us to say
that there is no virtue in color.

Extreme Prejudice.

Atlanta, Gait has been left
for small South Georgia village
to set an example of prejudice re-
duced to fine art. The case in
point the very quintenscece of rae
ial antipathy and is almost ludi-
crous. Briefly it is this: the town
in question has sunk large artes-
ian well on its main street and, as
it is the custom with these wells, a
stream of water spurts out continu-
ously. This stream is not to be
touched by any Afro American lip,
under penalty of Imprisonment in
the log calaboose or fine for each
drink. But that is not at all where
the unusual feature comes in.
Not only must no colored lip touch
this sacred stream but no horse or
mule owned by an Afro American
can drink at both sides of the
trough into which some of the wa
ter flows and which is reserved for
Stacking the thirst of animals. A
white mans horse or mule can
drink at either side of the large
basin, but the quadruped of the
man of color must be stopped at
the left side and there drink, not
allowing his mouth to pass an i'm
aginary line in the middle of the
water. If, however, a horse or
mule is known to belong to a white
man, although driven by colored
man, it can have. access to any
part of the trough.
Some short time since a colored
man. riding spirited black horse,
stopped the animal at the right
side and allowed him to drink
there. This was all right to the
onlookers. because everybody in
the village, including the argusey-

In spite of the apparent unani-
nous approval of the constitution
of the new convention, there was
in reality deep undercurrent of
disapproval by the South of one
section of that constitution. 1t
was that section which admitted
the Negro into the convention as a
full-fedged member. The North
ern and Southern Baptists separat-
ed in lS45 because of the Negro,
and now, sixty years after that bit
ter split, when they desire to re-
unite, the Negro, the very RAIsoN
D'ETRE of their former division,
stands up before them and clam
ors to be considered man and a
brother. In the convention, North
ern ideals won out, but an article
in the Atlanta journal from the
pen of Rev. Alex Bealer, promi-
nent Baptist preacher of this Sec
ton, voices the sentiment of a
considerable part of the Southern
ministry. Mr.. Bealer heads his
article THE Black Skeleton in the
Baptist closet" and he writes about
as any Southern white man would
have written sixty years ago. He
uses some phases which describe
the condition of his mind in no
uncertain way. In speaking of
the closet door he says:
when the constitution was
adopted it provided that every
,Baptist Church Association and
convention in the territory of the
new organization should be entitl-
ed to representation. Some OF the
, more enthusiastic brethren could
not see the opening of the closet
door, but many saw it and there
the old black Negro skeleton
grinned before them in all its
hideousness and gave distinct
shock to their sensibilities. No
sort OF restriction was put upon
any person or church. just so he
was Baptist he was entitled to a
seat on the floor with the whitest
Baptist on earth. To some of the
brethren from Georgia vision
appeared of the time when the
new convention would meet in
Atlanta. They could see the Ne
gro Baptist from down the West
Point road and the Central and
the Georgia coming in to take
part in the deliberations of the
body where they would be on an
equality with the whites"
Who would have thought that
one of the followers of Christ
would call the colored division OF
> the Baptist church, an "Old Black
Negro skeleton?" Why should
any Christian speak of Negro
Baptist as something with "hid-
eousness" about them? Why

Christian body of few colored

describes the appearance of the

and he avows that the appearance
of this Negro minister on the con-
vention floor was such shock that
some of the "brethren tainted and
fell" We might state just here
that Mr. Waldron is a highly edu-
Gated Christian gentleman who
could easily outclass Mr.. Bealer IN
debate or in aggressive pastoral
work. Mr.. Waldron stands very
high among the people of Jack
sonville irrespective of color, and
only last month The metropolitan,
the leading daily paper of Jack
sonville, commented editorially on
his work and ability in the highest
terms. Mr.. Bealer says further:
1.-The sooner the North realizes
that the Negro cannot mingle on
terms of equality with the whites
of the South, the better it will be-
Every time they talk about unit
ing the two sections they try to tie
the Negro, whom they despise,
about our necks. If they want
him let them have him. We don't
want him as an equal and we will
not have him. There is no use CT
! mincing matters.
"If this new organization is to
live,' the Negro will have to be
eliminated. If not, the thing will
die natural death
In one place in speaking about
the colored people, Mr.. Bealer
calls us "niggers." The race al
ways feels as if it has been slapped
in the face by black-guard when
a white man in speaking of it says
.'nigger." Bealer's stuff seems to
us scarcely worthy of an enlight-
ened and tolerant, much less
Christian spirit. Unblushing and
unabashed, he employs his dull
bombast and drivel to show what a
nedious skeleton of hypocracy
stands behind his mask of Chris
tianity. Generally speaking, the
South still has its double system
of ethics. 1t can discard ethics,
religion-all-to preserve its cav
ern idol-social superiority. 1t
seems TO us to be an agregiously
absurd Christianity that allows its
posscssor to imagine that he is the
most fascinating entity in the
Universe. The cardinal principles
of Christianity are humility, char
ity and equality and it is palpab-
Ily absured kind of Christianity
which does not rest upon those
principles. When will the white
man learn the lesson taught Peter

The high rate for money Is an effective barrier against foreign pressure for funds upon New York and foreign exchange made further wide decline today. This was in spite of hardening of discounts in Paris and Berlin.

STRlNGENCY WAS IGNORED

New York, November 10.-The rate TOT call loans went to 15 per cent again to- day, and the estimates of the loss in cash by the banks for the week on the cur rency movement ran from $S,0OO,0OO to nearly saO,Oo0O00. Nevertheless stocks showed effective resistance to pressure, and later in the day developed aggressive strength. Nevertheless the stocks showed effective resistance to pressure, and later in the day developed aggressive strength.
 The conductors of the speculative opera tions for an advance seemed to have come to concerted determination to ignore the stringency in the money market as an in- f1uence on sentiment and to pay the pre- vailing rate for day to day loans and hold their stocks. In the active discussion of the money situation which went all day, much was heard of a claim a complaint that the apparent stringency in tho money market was the result of manipulation, and was designed against important speculative pools in special stocks The comparative tranquility of other departments of the money markets was pointed to as corroborative of this view. It was a view that did not receive much countenance in banking circles, or outside of speculative circles about the stock exchange.
 A decline of $S.0O00oo to s10,OOo,0oo within a week in the cash holdings of the banks with the surplus reserve at the beginning of that period down to s2354,275, while speculative borrowing continued into this week In attempted extension of operations for the advance at some points seemed sufficient explanation for the necessity on the part of the banks to curtail loans. It is by means unusual for interest rates for commercial purposes to be held down to a 6 per cent rate in the midst of violent furries in the call money market on the stock exchange. The precedent of IS per cent quoted on call money at the stock exchange in December, 1899, while 6 per cent ruled for time loans and for mercantile paper, is the most striking ex- ample.
 It is this comparative tranquility of commercial interest rates that it is offered to explain the reluctance of the secretary of the treasury to take any measures for the relief of the money market so far as the purely speculative needs are con. cerned. The weeks operations of the banks with the sub-treasury alone show
