+ tits an, undeniable fact; that the ma
jority of the state legislatures are
composed of imbeciles, tricksters and
-grafters, and are an sindescribable
nuisance But this is the natural and
inevitable result of the political meth
DDS now in vogue, especially in the
South. It is true that in many states
rs soon as the legislature adjourns,
the grand jury convenes and attempts
to collar some of the rascals, but the
effort is usually mere flash in the
pan. The reason is that the grand
jury is sometimes composed of very
bad men. .~. 10 -lt - = u 81
The Ne:y York Sun gives space to a
'Southerner'' who sends long indlct-
ment against Afro-Americans in the
South who are servants. The Sun is
in error in supposing that the South
erners who write up such articles for
the Northern newspapers are of the
old slave holding class. They are
generally of the class of poor whites
who never owned as much as the toe
nail: of a servant "befo' the-wa'."

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1905.

The Supreme Court Of Mississippi
has sustained the action of lower
court which convicted two boys on
"hcarsay" evidence. Thus the grand
Old state CT Vardaman extends to white
bows a rule that has. long prevailed in
reference to AfrC-AmericanS.

chance. and l tried to get it right or

'carse the people up there have been
stealing from US long enough Thus
saith Tillman with a manifest eager
ness to break into the Mitchell class.
1t is an easy transition from political
to financial dishonesty. Men who gain
Office by political skulduggery are
properly trained for becoming accom-
plished boOdlers and grafters and thus
the widespread corruption of our legis-
latures is easily accounted for. Till
man is an unique specimen. His inOr-
dinate vanity leads him to boast that
he is dishonest.
The Chicago strike petered out and
the only tangible result is that many
teamsters are out of pocket and out
of employment and Chicago is out
many millions of dollars.
Just why it is is hard to tell; but a
fact is a fact even if it is unexplain-
able It is a fact that nearly every
thing that is established in the coun-
try starts on a high plain and grad
ually degen nerates to one much lower,
AS Chautauqua has done. At first it
was a high toned educational enter
prise; now it is 4 mere sensation mon

of Chautauqua that it has never had a

Some Maryland Democrats have re-
solved that the maintenance of free

A more ridiculous batch of lies was
never fabricated. The maintenance OF
free institutions depends upon the in
telligence and virtue two qualities
which Southern Democrats are labor

earth. The resolutions are a direct
pandering to ignorance. g. =
There are several important differ
ences between a Southern -lynching
and a Northern race riot. The New

Not satisfied with boycotting our
cotton goods, the heather Chlnee

process to our religious holdings. His
Excellency, Kang WI Wei, the Chi

picts things from the Chinese stand

coincide with the doctrines OF Chris
tianity He taught us to love God and
to love mankind and he inculcated
the precepts Of the Golden Rule. The
intentions of your missionaries are
very good no doubt, but some OF
them have been a great nuisance to
China. They have illtreated the
Chinese. China regards your mis-
sionaries as children who are trying
to teach her truths she has known
for ages. Confucianism can never be
set aside for your mushroom faiths.

15 The Nashville Palladium has an
article on the Jim Grow law in which
the spirit of flunkeyism is visible to
the naked eye. It says: The Negro
knows his place and is willing to
stay there Now we venture to sug-
gest that the Palladium is not the Off
cial spokesman of the race, nor is
such the sentiment of the race. The.
Palladium is certainly in error when,
it intimates that the race consents
for the gang of hill-billies which Ten

"The affection lavished upon Me-
groes of the old regime and upon such
of their descendants as follow their
simple precepts of doglike devotion is
one of the most battling aspects of the
Negro question as it presents itself to
the northern observer of southern Gus
toms. For, coupled with it, is bis
tering hatred of the other type of Me-
gro-the "educated Niger" as they
contemptuOusly call him down there.
Thus saith one of the correspond
ents who are enlightening everybody
upon the shades and aspects of THE
PROBLEM, which so resembles that
OF squaring the circle. And by chance
the writer has hit upon happy phrase
which fully explains the whole matter.
The devotion Of the old black nanny
was "doglike' and the affection of the
old mistress was exactly of the kind
bestowed upon faithful old dog. 1T
did not prevent the poor old black
nlammy's offspring from being "'sold
down the river;' nor restrain the
young master from debauching the old
black mammy's grandchild. 1t was
not that kind of affection; no, it was
'<dog1ke.''
1t is to be noted that the almond
eyed. yellow-skinned Mongolian has
actually set the members of the "su-
perior race" to bully-ragging each
other as viciously a brace of irate
tom cats. Thus the New York Times
shies it's castor into the ring and re-
| marks:
1t is all very well for demagogic
legislators from the Pacific Slope to
demand, for the benefit of their hood
lum constituents, that the policy OF
the United States toward China shall
be one of injury with insult added.
Of course California will come back
with wild and wooley rejoinder, and
some interesting developments may be
expected. Meanwhile One Lung.

the proceedings of the Mclean man
with ':smile that is childlike and

In Ohio, farmers, although they
offer 50 a day and board are unable to
secure enough harvest hands. 1t
will readily occur to any thinking
man that the white labOrer OF Ohio is
lazy and shiftless and will not work
when he has a dollar or two in his
pocket until he goes dead brok ke, and
so on. From various dissertations
upon the subject occurring in South
ern journals, we learn that precisely
similar conditions prevail in the
South. Since it is demonstrated that
white Americans will not work and
are lazy and shiftless, we suggest that
the Ohio farmers import Italians.

THE SEARCH FOR MEN.

The business world is looking for
men who can achieve results. All
others are hurriedly pushed aside.
The keen competition among employ
ers for high-grade men is always be-
ing made in responsible positions.
No sooner does a man make a sat
isfactory record than rival employers
begin bidding for his services. The
market value of such men has risen
with the demand, and there are now
several men in the United States who
are receiving over 100000 per year,
scores who are receiving $4,000 and
better, and hundreds who are earn
ing s25,OO or more, while an un-
countable host are earning over s1O,-
900, writes II. ]. Hapgood in Harper's.
To those who have not made a
study of this question the great de-
mand for high-grade men and the
thoroughness of the search that is
constantly being made for them are
surprising. For the past IS months
Chicago concern has been trying to
find the right man for a position that
will pay from $500 to $4,000 a
year.
It is a common expression among
large employers, II would rather pay
$4,000 than $1,000 to a man." and
they mean it. They want men who
can handle men, men who can dis
cover and stop business leaks. men
who can abolish unnecessary moves
find short cuts, consolidate plants
make a market where none existed
before, overcome competition-mer
who can make their years work yield
tenfold on the yearly balance sheet.
The manager of a large New York
! department house stated recently
1--WE are looking for five executive
men, to whom we are willing to pay
from $500 to $4,000 a year. These
positions are filled at present" ht
added, "but they are not filled salts
factorily, and we are anxious to FIND
better men,"

MUNICIPAL FUNERALS.

According to French paper, on
December 20, 1904, it was decreed
that the monopoly of funerals should
be equally divided between the cities
of France and the churches. The city
has the exclusive right to transport
the body, to decorate the exterior of
the mortuary building and to furnish
caskets.
The church, on the other hand, has
the sole right to decorate the interior
of the house of the deceased and to
decorate the churches. From the
mortuary buildings provided by the
city there go forth each day $50 fune-
raj professions, or $4,000 year.
Twelve hundred persons are employ
ed in the industry, including offices,
workshops, warehouses, stables, etc.
A stock of materials to the value OF
81, 200, 900 is carried. The services
rendered by this branch of the Paris
municipal government are divided In
to many classes, but only the first
five are profitable. On all the others
there Is a net loss. The institution is
required to furnish caskets and other
materials free to the INDECENT poor.
The charges in the first of the five
classes on which a profit Is made
amount to $1430, which includes 5000

knobs, and $50 extra for cockades. A
