which are almost entirely borne by the white race. The whites pay from 75 to 90 per cent of the money which keeps up the public schools for negroes of the South. and If The Star has the intelligence and disposition to investi- gate the matter it will find that the negroes have a much better chance to educate and elevate themselves in Ala bama or Georgia than they have in its own State of Indiana, or in almost any other Northern State. We do not ex- pect, however, that our unfair contem- porary will either try to inform itself or state the facts.
 As an evidence that some of the Re- publican papers are getting their eyes open and admitting it. we make brief extracts from two of them. The Chicago Chronicle is one of the bitter est of them all, but in an editorial on the Presidents Lincoln Day speech 1t says:
 We of the North are much too prone to deny the negro equality of opportu- nlty, 10 SuDJect nlm 10 inulBnltieS anu even to deny him his rights before the law merely because of his race and with small regard for his individual character and merits.
 We need to mend our ways in this respect. We need just such plain talk as the President gives us, and from the highest sources, to keep us from thinking 1t fashionable or a mark of superior character and breeding to treat men with injustice or contempt merely because of their race or color.
 The Kansas City Journal Is another strongly Republican newspaper. but it also sees things and declares that ''as a race everything that the negro could expect he has got" and speaks of the money expended by the whites for the education of the negroes. In fact. 1t is only occasionally that we find Re- publican paper as unjust and unfair as the one in Indianapolis.

President Harris, of Amherst Col lege, recently delivered an address fin New York in the course of which he told his hearers that if any of them had discarded dress suits it would be an act of kindness to send them to the college. as many of the students were not abe to dress suitably to attend the society functions We agree with Fhe Boston Herald that such a request might better be whispered than spoken aloud We should think 1t would be very humiliating to the stu dents to have their poverty thus heralded.

Texas District Attorney Charged with
 Having Been BRlbed.
 Austin. Tex. Feb. 27.---In the trial of Warren w. Moore. District Attorney of this District, upon the charge of having been bribed in once by John H. Kirby, the lumber financier of Tex as, which came up for trial here today. it was announced early in the action that 1t would be the effort of the de- fenSe in this case especially, and in Kirby's case later, if found necessary. to prove that Kirby was the victim of a plot of corporators who having fail- ed to get money out of him. had re- sorted to false testimony before a grand jury to get him and Moore in- dicted unjustly. .. "a,
 When the case was called today the documentary evidence upon which the present case Is based, the suits filed two years ago against the Kirby Lum- Der Company for a violation of the antitrust laws of Texas, a dismissal of which led to the charge of bribery now pending, was presented to the jury, after which W. B. Wortham. former President of the First National Bank of this city, was placed on the ceived $12,S0o of A. vandervoort, Kir- bys agent here, to compromise the suits. and that he had turned that money over to Frank Clover of this city. to negotiate the compromise.
 Glover, upon the stand, testified that he had paid the money to District Att torney Moore at Glover's home in this city and in compliance with tne under standing there entered into that Moore had dismissed the suits after several days delay. While Glover was on the stand the defense tried to prove that certain parties had entered into a conspiracy to blackmail Kirby and having failed through spite sought his downfall by reason of swearing false- ly before the grand jury.
 With this phase of the case pending the court adjourned for the day.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In Deckert's History of Kershaw's s South Carolina Brigade. on pages IS and 19, 1t is stated that Commission CTS of the North came to Charleston to treat for peace, but they demanded peace without any concessions, peace with submission-peace with all the chances of servite war"
 This 1t Is said was before the firing on Sumter. Is it a fact that commis- sioners were sent from the North? If so. who were they and by what au- thority sent? I never heard of this be- fore. We all want the true history of those stirring times. It is due to our country and people that the truth and answer Wm C. Oates
 eve are in the position of Governor Oates as to the statement, never hav- ing heard it made except in the book quoted. Perhaps our Charleston con- temporaries can throw light on the sub ject.-Editor Advertiser

Miss Mulveil had refused him repeatedly and told some of her friends a short time ago that he had threatened to kill her unless she married him.

It cities Maury's Manual of Geography as one example, saying that the contract price at which the book is sold in Alabama is SS cents while in Virginia the price varies from $1,15 to $1.4o per copy.

T was in Birmingham last night" said a ,drummhr, and was much amused at a conversation which Is re- ported to have occurred between two unfortunate mendicants on the streets in that city.
 One of these men is blind and the other some years ago had both legs cut oK at the knees by a train. They both wheel themselves around town Tn little carts which they can operate with their hands and both play violins for a livelihood.
 The other day they are said to have met on a street corner, whereupon the following conversation occurred:

CompIaInt of ssTattIe,.


 Give the bright young women who conduct "Tattle" our society weekly. credit for pointing out reforms to the Montgomery Street Railway" said a society man.
 Tn last weeks 'Tattle,'" he contin- ued, they had some strictures on MT. Tillis's car. company. that are timely. but the oficials of the company are not to blame entirely. The cars are not kept as clean as they ought to be. but the public shas little regard for It. self. Men expectorate on the floors of the cars in open violation of the law and if the conductor remonstrates with them he Is given a tart reply.
 The complaint as to the electric bells Is well founded. They were a great convenience when the cars were first purchased. The bells soon failed and the company. 1t seems, has never had them repaired, but they have an- noxed many passengers who relied on them.
 T am not a fault finder. I hope, but agree with the young women in their complaints."
