TILLMAN's SPEECH.

Have you read Ben Tillman'. speech
in Chicago. A great row was made
over this speech, before its delivery.
We have read stenographic report Of it.
He says, in effect, that in seven of the
leading southern states. the negroes out
number the whites; that under the law
adopted by northern people, these ne
groes would control the south although
they do not pay a hundredth part the
taxes. or represent hundredth part Of
the education OF intelligence Of the south.
He argues that the whites have always
controlled the black race and that the
exception in this case is because Of the
quarrel between the north and the south
over slavery; that the northern people
themselves dislike the negroes as much
as do southern people. and have shown
their dislike in many ferocious ways; that
the northern people would do exactly as
the southern people are doing, under like
circumstances. He didn't say, To hell
with the law" but to he'll with such a
law" meaning the law forming negro
equality for the people Of the south. adopt
ed at time when the northern people
were wrought up because Of long war.
He says the old time negroes were al
night, that during the war, the slaves pro-
tected their mishesses. while the men
were away fighting. but that new race
has grown up, which is mpudent and
dangerous. The speech Is not as bad
as it has been represented, in any paric-
ular.-Atchison Globe.

PREPARING TO sQUELcH LAFoLLETTE.

From an exchange we clip the follow
ing sketch Of Senator LaFo gillette, and
which also contains a description of the
senate combination against him:
Senator LaF gillette. of Wisconsin, is
small, spry man with pompadour hair and
meliAuous voice, which he uses hber-
ally-that is, the voice. The hair simply
stands on his head as witness that
something is going on inside. His per-
sonality hasn't the least resemblance to
that Of an Ishmael with proper training.
Yet that, according to recent reports, is
what sevaral Of his senatorial brethren
propose to make Of him during the COM
ing session. They are said to have knive.
up their sleeves, longer than the sleeves,
and the hewing Of the Lake Shore Agog
is timed to follow Immediately after the
opening prayer in the senate. Then the
hacked and Inundated senator will be
cast out and mathematical.

pears will be cooperative or Alliance

Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and New Jersey,
with probably the fiery imperialist, Bev-
endge, at the fan, for it Is understood it

Of the world. and Senator Bevendge
hurting defiance. with a second growth
hickory hurler. at any one daring to take
It down.
And why all this? Because certain
senators combined against the Wisconsin
man during the last session IN an effort
to make him be good according to their
standards; and Mr.. LaF gillette went out
on the Chautauqua circuit last summer
and aroused the vox popu6 on its native
heaths and caused common. mre6ned
people to actually laugh coarseH at the
lhigh-buttoned dignity and patented pa
| uiot;sm Of the senators Of the states named.
And now Mr.. LaFolette IS to face
one Of the largest blocks Of senatorial ne
ever put on the boards for a recalciHant
member. However. he Is said to thrive
on beIEge1ency and IS IN no way casf

THE ARMY NAVY PAY BILL.
All The Army And Navy Officers
Are Interested.
INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE By sen.
ATOR DICK.
The Measure Promises To Be The Most
Interesting Ever Brought Be-
fore Congress

senator Dick Yesterday introduced
in the United States senate the bill
in which all Army. Navy, Marine
officers and soldiers are greatly inter
ested. The bill proposes an increase
of 20 per cent. in Army pay and places
the officers of the Navy, Marine Corps
and the Revenue Marine on the same
pay according TO corresponding rank
and length of service.
The measure promises TO be the most
popular ever brought forward. as all
soldiers and their friends throughout
the country are interested. There
can be little doubt of speedy and fa-
vorable action by Congress when the
measure is understood.
The present pay was adopted thirty
four years ago, since which time 1t
has not been Increased one dollar,
though the dollar has just about one
half the purchasing power 1T then
had. Too much credit cannot be
given Senator Dick for taking up
such commendable measure and he
will have the hearty support and
blessing of every soldier and sailor
in the land.
This measure propose ~ 'slcreas
of pay for the Army of 20 per cent.
for all from the general down TO the
lowest private and places officers Of
the Navy, the Marine Corps and the
Revenue Marine Service on exactly
the same pay according to correspond
ing rank and length of service, thus
placing all on consistently equal
footing.
The law giving Army and Marine
officers and all enlisted men retire
ment after thirty years service is ex-
tended to naval officers. Midshipmen,
after graduation, are given the pay
of second lieutenants, thus placing
them on the same pay as military
cadets after their graduation. Civil
professors at the academies are given
longevity pay and Communication for
quarters.
The present Army pay was provided
in 1872, since which time there has
been no increase, although the increase
in cost of living during that period
of thirty-four years has been from 40
to 60 per cent.
1t is believed that this plain fact,
with the knowledge of those in au-
thority as to the expenses to which
military and naval officers and en-
listed men are subjected, will show
the justice of such a reasonable in
crease and appeal to them for speedy
and favorable action.

In Feldmeyer's Court.

Justice Charles G.. Feldmeyer this
morning disposed of his first case,
under the recent ruling of the higher
courts, giving magistrates jurisdic-
ton in charges where the accused is
presented for carrying concealed weap-
ons.
Leonard Garrison was the prisoner
and he was found guilty but released
from custody upon payment of a fine
and costs amounting TO $500. The
costs included little auto ride to the
stationhouse from the corner of Col
lege avenue and King George street,
where Garrison was picked up in a
very much intoxicated condition by
Patrolman John Holiday.
John Marshall, minor, who was
with Garrison and TO whom the latter
had given the whiskey which laid him
low, was also given a ride, and fare
for which, with other costs in his case
and fine, amounted to 1925. He
also paid up and was released. Both
prisoners are from Mill Creek, North
Severn.
Constable James Small yesterday
afternoon arrested Harrison Little in
front of the A., w. q b. West street
station under the section of the 1906
Automobile Law, which provides a
fine for disturbing an automobile
when left standing at the curb or
other place. Little paid his fine and
costs, which amounted to 1925.

NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN
Mr.. Samuel Jones Declines To Accept The
Office of President.

The newly elected board of direc-
tors of the Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Anne Arundel County
met last night and organized. The
present board consists of Messrs. Sam
uel Jones, George G. Barton, William
II. Feldmeyer, George Il. Melvin,
Charles A. Friemel, n. G.. Collinson,
Louis Baer, w. +. Clancy, William
Il. Feldmeyer, II. $. Dawson and
Nathan Childs.
The board, recognizing the valuable
services rendered the company since
its organization by Samuel Jones, de-
sired him TO continue as president,
but Mr.. Jones said that while he
was very much interested in the sue
cess of the company and was willing
to serve as director, he was not able
to continue as president on account
of his private business. He nomi-
mated George Il. Melvin for president
and advocated his election on the
ground that the company needed a
man of Mr.. Melvin's business energy
and good judgment TO assure its con
tinued growth and success.
Mr.. Melvin was unanimously elect
ed president. George G. Barton was
elected vice-president, II. 5. Mancha,
