ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 25.-The known

tion with the riots since last Saturday
night number one white man County
Policeman james Heard) and eighteen
negroes. To this number should be
added the nnme of Mrs. Robert p.
Thompson, an estimable white woman,
who dropped dead on Monday evening
after seeing two negroes shot and
beaten In front of her home.
Following the arrest of PSF negroes
at Brownville and Clark University to-
day and the detention of about 100 of
these in the county jail. the feeling
prevailed that at last peace had been
restored by a strong show of. author
ity. Almost simultaneously two ne
groes were killed in another and dis
tant part of the city by three police
men, who had been sent to stop them
from shooting.
The main events during the day
looking toward the restoration of or
der have been ordering into the city
four companies of State militia from
outside points, and the gathering of a
large representation of business and
professional men to call for vigorous
action by the city executive regard
ing negro resorts and saloons. The
resolutions adopted at this gathering
demand that these places oe closed
and kept closed perpetually.
The saloons have been closed all day
and will be until notice. There is an
increasing scarcity of negroes in fac
tories, stores and Offices in the post
Office and the telegraph Offices Hun
dreds of Atlanta homes are without

the United States into interven-
ton. This. it has been stated,
is precisely what President Roosevelt
has been most anxious to avoid. 1t is
still just barely possible that President
Roosevelt through Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon,
may yet arrange things to establish
the Liberals in control of the Cuban
Government, but this is regarded only
as the remotest sort of possibility.
With either party installed in power
there would still remain a condition
of deplorable dissatisfaction and un-
whatever to promise relief save full
control by the United States.

FEELING OF RELIEF.

FEELING OF RELIEF.
Acting Secretary of the Interior Mon
talvo declared this evening that he
would never turn over the army to the
Liberals under any circumstances, but
all Government officials unite in say
ing that if the rebels in the field. or
any portion of them, resist American
control. the Cuban army would coop
crate with the United States in every
way possible. The real feeling at the pail
ace is one of relief in the prospect that
the adversaries of the Government will
not win. even though the Government
loses, combined with the satisfaction
that the United States will be obliged
to take over Cuba indefinitely and
possibly forever.

7@37~@@~.--~~--@~ A GREAT BUTTER.

As England is called John Bull, so we think our Government is in a fair way to earn the name of Billy-goat. As 3 butter-in, the present administra- ton has had no equal that we now call to mind. It butted in at Panama in a way that was not altogether correct. It butted in at San Domingo and made a mess of 1t, and it seems now anxious to butt into the trouble between France and Venezuela, though we fall to see any occasion for it.
 And while we are about it, can any body tell what business our Govern ment had mixing in at Algeciras? So far as we can see, we have no more business to mix into 1t than we would have to interfere between two tribes of cannibals in darkest Africa. In the House Committee on Appropriations the other day some of the Republican mem- bers tried to get Secretary Root to tell them whether the object of the ad- ministration in sending delegates to the Moroccan conference was not more po-
 
 tary lodged. The country is expected to pay the expenses of sending dele gates where they have no business, to mix in a matter that doesn't concern us. The present administration wants to earn the title of general arbitrator and settler-in-chief of all complica- tions, whether on this continent or an- other. It looks very much as if the President is anxious to provoke d war with some foreign power and the odds are not very much against his Eetrinr what he is evidently laborins for.
 He is an advocate of big navy and a foreign war would be an argument for 1t. He wants to make himself the center of observa-

''The verdict of his party supports Nr. Depew," is the way The I.epubli- can Buffalo News views 1t, and it thinks the incident should be consid- cred closed. That may be the way some of his party friends look at the matter, but we do not think the real public sentiment of this State wilI:agree Senate. With few exceptions the pa- pers of the great State without re- gard to party affiliations, have been criticising and condemning Depew.
 And what does his ''vindication" by the Senators of his State mean, or resolution called on him to resign, and every Republican Senator, ex- cept the author, voted to ta- ble the resolution. Does that wash from Depew's garments the smirch ad- herring to them by reason of his col 1usive association with a gang of in- Hurance grafters? By no means. as we view 1t. It merely means that the party which gave him the high and honorable position of Senator prefers to maintain its consistency by keeping him there. Whether the Senators be- 1ieved him innocent or guilty of the grave charges seems to have made no difference. In effect they say: We put him there. regardless of public opinion. That is about the way their action appears.
 whether the Democratic Senators acted wisely or periodically is anoth- CT matter. By refusing to vote on Brackets resolution, or rather by re- fusing to vote on the motion to table it, they have placed themselves in the attitude of endorsing Depew. They virtually say that they look on him as a proper man to represent New York in the Senate of the United States and wish to keep him there. The ex- cuse they make for not voting is that Depew was elected by Republicans, is their man, and they can do with him as they think fit. This doesn't seem to be A proper position for Democrats to take. It is true that their votes would have had no effect, so far as the resolution itself was concerned. The Republicans have a controlling ma jority and their unanimous, vote to table the Bracket resolution would have been sufficient All the same. we are bound to hold that they should have made a record for themselves by condemning Depew

The Brooklyn Eagle has a gloomy editorial on the commercializinR of literature. which has excited consid- erable interest in certain circles. 1t is obvious the editorial says. from the flood of trash that now pours from the press and thence in gaudy bindings into the department stores that serious writing Is discounted and that the publisher seeks a liter ature with Ia yellow tinge-something catchy and sensational" The editorial, after deploring the fact that poets must either publish in the newspapers or at their own expense, that essays and happy innocent leisure books have gone to the background ito make way for stories that contain directions how to destroy animals how to carry elec- tions and how to entitle ones self to suspicion as a grafter if he becomes captain of industry or insurance" next considers the current periodicals.

GROWING OF TOBACCO
In the Cotton States Can Be Made
 Profitable.

By Martin V. Calvin
 A propaganda in Favor or more general diversification of crops throughout the cotton belt having been issued by the recent Convention of the Southern Cotton Association at New Orleans. the minds of cotton producers will naturally turn to the general sub ject in order to determine the crops to which. in addition to reduced acre age in cotton, they may give attention with reasonable expectancy of profit.
 It is a truism that what has been ac- complished by one set of men can ne accomplished by another set of men without regard to the difficulties which may hace attended the original under taking.
 Tobacco No stranger at the south.

To- bacco is no stranger in the South. 1he plant has been experimented with ana a high degree of success attained Tn cultivating 1t. ..,-- A.. declare, the ante bellum Southern far mer was distinctly a believer in aver sication of crops.

A BURNING SHAME.

Among all the wrongs properly charged to unionism, none is more shameful than the way it has ineer- York and thus hindered education There are now estimated to be sevsa hundred thousand children of school age in Greater New York Of these, it is stated that seventy @or eighty thousand either get no education or must be content with what are called part time classes" which means that they can study only little while each day after the regular students are dis missed. This unsatisfactory state of affairs is due to the fact that the city has not enough school buildings to ac- commodate all the children. This. again, is due to unionism. The city has the money and has endeavored to have the necessary buildings erected, but for the last two or three years strikes and lockouts have so demoralized labor In the city that all building operations have been seriously retarded. The New York Commercial says:
 The children need these schools need them badly and need them now. But the trades unions declare that the buildings shall not be finished until 1t pleases their short sighted, 7siiisa and arrogant leaders--their "delegatesH ito give the word of permission. For the greater part of three years now unionism, rampant and irresponsible, has hindered building operations of all kinds in New York. It has delayed public and private improvements and wrought detriment incalculable to the city. But the worst count against 1t Is this willful interference with the building of new schools. Seldom has anything worse, more short sighted, more utterly foolish than this been laid at the door of organized labor.
 We repeat that of the many indefen. sible things which can be rightfully and properly laid at the door of union- ism. there is nothing more contemplate than this. The public schools are es sentialIy the schools of the children of the working people. but in one city some seventy-hve thousand of them are partly or wholly deprived of educa- tional privileges because of union in- tolerance. It is shame and dis grace.
