Is to Commit Social Crime.

THAT the white race is dominant and
superior and that it will remain so needs
no iteration to make it an indisputable
facts. To teach the negro otherwise is
to teach a racial crime. To excite the
dominant race by the Incorporate speech
against the inferior is to commit another
racial crime. There are thousands OF ne
groes in the SOUTH and in the north, many
of them useful and capable who perform
their daily tasks do not offend against
the laws, who are kind hearted and de-
serving and these ought to be protected
from false friends and unfair enemies.
Both do the unoffepding members of the
race infinite harm and neither helps to
solve a great question.

PATTERSON THINKS
T|LLMAN DID HARM
Both Senator and Roosevelt on
the Wrong Tack
CALM JUSTICE is NEEDED
Average Southern Man Has No Hatred
of the Negro Race--Rght to Vote
the Crueest Blow Ever In
ficted BY Victors.
CALM JUSTICE IS NEEDED

Washington, November S,-(Speeial.l-
Representative Patterson of the Men,
phis, Tenn. district. and the governor
elect of his state. says it is deplorable
that a man of Senator Tillman's intellect
and position should excite and itritate
situation which can only be relieved
by calm justice, prudent discussion and
temperate action.
",rhe average southern man. said L.,
'has no hatred of the negro as race.
He is tolerant of his faults, and they are
many, but he also knows that the negro
has been and now is, the most traetible
and docile race known to history.
To the Negroes Credit.
1T is to the infinite credit of the ne
gro that before the war he was never
known to offer the slightest indignity to
a white woman, no matter, how alone
she might have BEEN and when the Con-
federate soldier went to the front he lett
his loved ones in the care of his slaves,
and no single instance is recorded Wheh
that trust was ever abused or betrayed.
But when the right 60 vote was given
him the negro began to have desires and
ambitions to which he was a stranger be-
fore The franchise was an injustice to
the negro and the cruelest blow ever in
fiicted by victors against men of the same
race. 1t did not help the negro, but 1t put
the south in political bondage and has
done nothing but create discord and con-
fusion.
I'm my opinion both President Roose-
welt and Senator Tillmdn have. perhaps
unconsciously, done much harm to both
the races. One by the appearance OF So
cial equality encouraged false hopes in
the breast of the negro, the other by
fierce denunciation and indiscriminate
abuse excites the passions of white men.
The natural result of both acts is to
provoke bad blood and excite to deeds of
violence

tant word had somehow dropped out
Of the message to Captain Wilde in
transmission-the word Imminent"
The message should have read:
"War with Spain imminent. Hurry
to Hongkong."
The Boston gave a good account of
herself In the fight. While she was
steaming by the vessels and forts of
the dons, while two opposing storms of
projectiles swept the waters and a
man could not hear himself think for
the thunder of the guns, Captain Wilde
stood on the bridge of the Boston fan
ming himself with big palm leaf fan,
as calm as woman at the opera. Re-
membering that it was breakfast time,
he ordered cup Of coffee to be served
to him on the bridge S-.@.
Admiral Wilde is a native of Bos-
ton and was born in 1S43 Citizens
Of Boston lionized the commander of
the cruiser of the same name after the
battle Of Manila Bay. The admiral
comes of good old New England stock.
His great-grandfather Brigadier Cen
eral Solomon Lowell Of North Wey-
mouth, commanded the defenses of
Boston during the Revolution. His
grandfather, Captain William Wilde,
was lieutenant of the old frigate Bos-
ton. His maternal grandfather, Itha-
mar Rice, fought at Lexington.

GIVE THE SCHOOL the SEWER.

The council is undertaking a
most commendable enterprise in
trying to find ways and means to
extend the sewer system so that
the main public school building
will be able to connect with it..
The school most certainly should
be given chance to dispose of
it's sewage, if possible, without
recourse to the expensive and
well communicating cess-pool.
It is too late now for the
council, under the charter, to
order the work done, and the
cost, over and above the amount
contributed by the county, the
board of education, and the city
for the crossings, assessed to
the property owners in three
yearly lnstallments; but it is
still possible to extend the sewer
if property owners are willing to
advance the whole amount of
their assessments. Ia.
It will be a little harder,
perhaps, to pay a lump sum now
than to stretch payment over
three years, but it should be
remembered that the cost will be
greatly lessened by the donations
the county com missioners and
the board of educa ton are willing
to make. This should make it q
good business proposition. The
property owners pay cash and
get what will be equivalent to a
liberal cash discount.

he went. The Tennessee and Cumber-
land Rivers were falling to their low
Summer stage. and could not be de-
pended upon to supply the army. Gen.
Buell. was strategist enough to remind
Gen. Halleck that the Memphis & Chat
tanooga Road lay directly along the
front of the Confederate armies and
was therefore subject To constant at
tack from them. He preferred to re-
turn to Nashville and advance along the
line of the Nashville 4 Chattanooga
Road, which was further To the rear,
and could be more easily protected.
Halieck was. however. firm for the
Memphis & Chattanooga Reilroad. and
Buell. began mis- slow march along that
line for Chattanooga, 300 miles away.
Slow as Buell. always was. his march
became snaillike. since the work on the
railroad was new to the engineers. and
was not prosecuted anywhere with the
feverish earnestness that later charac-
teriZed the Engineer Department OF the

June IL McCook's and Crittenden's
Divisions started eastward, the former
from Corinth and the latter from Boone
willie. Gen. Mitchell moved out To meet
them with supplies and facilities for
crossing the river. but their operations
were delayed by threats of attack on
the rear, and 1t was not until June 20
that the divisions Of McCook, Critten-
den and Nelson got as far east as
Athens, where they were obliged TO wait
for supplies to be brought up By the
poorly-equipped trains placed upon the
road.
sthens was still 100 miles from Chat
tanoogar and Buell. found his force Of
$4,000 electives with which he had
started diminishing rapidly by the de-
tachments left along the rear to guard
the railroad. Buell. established his
headquarters at Huntsville, and began
Gcvoting himself to making projections
To the bridges, increasing the force OF
mechanics working on the roads, and
also In putting the Nashville & Chatta-
nooga Road into condition to assist in
supplying the army. He threw out Nc
Cook and Crittenden to make a threat
in the direction of Chattanooga. and set
Gen. Nelson with his division to rebuild
the road from Nashville to Decatur.
Gen. Wood took position south OF the
river at Decatur to guard that imp9r-
tant place. Gen. Thomas held the road
from Tuscumbia eastward.
Jef Davis was sorely diSpleaScd with
Beauregard's conduct Of the operations
around Corinth, and relieved him from
command. Gen. Bragg succeeded him,
and was ordered to move immediate elys
to the defense of Chattanooga. He had
no trouble in getting there much ahead
of Buell.. He began at once perfeeting
plans to throw the Union army back 10
the Ohio River and regain all that had
been lost since the opening of the cam
raign and the capture of Forts Henry

EMPLOYEES SAVED THE MINT.
Fought on the Flames With Water
Drawn From a Well

Like n great monument in the midst
of ruined city stands the United
States Mint, the only remaining building
unhurt in the center of what once was
the business district of San Francisco.
On all sides are fallen walls and heaps
Of ashes, but in the vaults of the great
treasurehoUse are gold coins and bars
valued at 100000, 900 safe within the
solid walls of stone and steel.
The story of the fight to save this vast
building is a tale of heroism that stirs
the blood. For hours 40 employees Of
the Mint and 100 men of the Regular
Army fought to save the gold One of
the heroic band said: THE prize was
worth fighting for. and we fought and
won.'
The worst part of the first big fire
started one block from the Mint. With
in an hour the entire block of big frame
buildings on the opposite side of the
street was flaming mass. With the
first fire alarm the Mint force realized
their danger. There is a deep well in
the Mint basement, which gives il an
Independent water supply, and the
pumps were started working at their
full capacity. Hose lines were laid and
roof, windows and walls were kept wet.
Although the streams were pitifully
weak, they served the purpose. Then
came 100 of the Regulars from the
Preside, who joined the gallant band
OF fire fighters. The flames spread on
al! sides, but the men stood at their
posts in the face of grave danger. The
Fire Department for a time was able to
aid in the battle with n single stream of
salt water. but finally they were driven
back by the flames, and the Mint men
and Regulars fought alone.

other in the size of the blocks or the
course of the streets: but in each sur
vey, with rare exceptions. the streets
are straight and cross each other at
right angles. The principal retail shops
were in Kearny, Market and Montgom-
cry streets, which were the most fash
ionable promcnades: the banks and
brokers. offices were in California street;
the importers and jobbers were in
Front. Sansome and Battery streets: the
principal fashionable residences We're
in Van Ness avenue. Pine Street Hill,
and Taylor, Elsh, Suffer. Post, Geary
and O'Farre., streets; and The Chinese
quarter comprised portions of Sacra-
mento, Commercial. Dupont, Pacific and
jackson streets. The busiest streets are
paved with Belgian block and cobble-
stones, and most of the residence streets
are planked. The city is supplied with
gas made from imported coal, and water
is brought from Pilarcitos Greek. near
the base of the peninsula, by a conduit
80 miles long; the supply at present is
about 100000 gallons q day.
There are II public squares. The
Golden Gate Park covers an area of
1850 acres; originally a barren tract of
sand dunes, it has been gradually con-
vertcd into one of the most attractive
