THE WIRELESS
Practical Experiments Made Last |
 Night.
Lowell, Mass, Sun, Nov. 21. K


 Lowell, Mass, Sun, Nov 21, 1905.
 Demonstrations in wireless telegraph have been going on at Odd Fellows Temple in Middlesex Street for the last week, but not until last night did the demonstrators reach out into space and prove to the public that the Marconi wireless is a reliable system of direct communication.
 From the station in Odd Fellows Temple to a station on the top floor of building in Merrimack square mes sages fitted back and forth with great speed and accuracy. It has been claim ed that while the Marconi wireless sys- tenn has proven itself the wizard of the sea, that it would not be available on land,
 The trial last night was one that must recommend the system. Those who have said that he system would fail on land have made strong the assertion that the passage of messages through cities would be impeded, that the course of the messages would be diverted be- cause of peculiar atmospherieal inter ferences. These assertions, however, were disproved ast night when mes sages went back and forth from Mer- rimack Square to the station in Odd Fellows Temple.
 Mir, Ryan, who lectures every day on
 
 Temple. asked representative of The Sun last night to send messages from Merrimack Square to the hall in Mid dlesex Street and later to verify them if correct. The Sun reporter sent the messages returned to the hall and found that they had been received, word Tor word. Not a single mistake oc- cured in all the messages sent by the reporter and while the reporter was in the station the Marconi operator then received messages from the station in Middlesex StrN,t>
 The Marconi system has without doubt passed beyond the experimental stage and 1t looks as if the day would come when the wireless will be used for great many purposes for which the wire systems are now used
 The demonstrations by MT. Ryan and his able corps of assistants at Odd Eel lows Temple in Middlesex Street are being well attended. and Mir. Ryan.s very comprehensive elucidation of the system is sufficiently interesting to at tract the most skeptical.

 Marconi Wireless Photography was demonstrated today beyond all doubt to be superior to any system of wire telegraphy ever installed.I The ren- resentatives of the Marconi company who have beenin Wheeling for the last two weeks giving lectures and demon- strations of the system by which 1t is operated, as a final attraction install led two stations here for the benefit of local parties who have subscribed for stock. One station Is located In room 12s of the McLure Hotel and the second in the Central Hose house si Martins Ferry.
 It was after 10 o'clock this morning before tha instruments were put in op- eration and they worked perfectly The first message sent out of Wheeling was forwarded by The News to The Martins Ferry Times. conRratulatinE them or being one of the first two newspaper in the Ohio Valley to receive messages by wireless.
 The reply of The Times received soor afterwards was the first message TO- ceived at the z Wheeling office. and while the message was being recorded by the operator an interested crowd oi persons gathered around him. A num- ber of travelling men who were pres- ent when the message was received at last had to admit that their last bit of skepticism in regard to the success. full operation of the system had been dispelled.

Memphis commercIal-Appeal.

The negro students of TalIadega Col lege. Alabama, in leaving the fnstitu- ton because of the appointment of a Southern white man as farm manager, have committed a folly which questions their mentality or the quality of tho instruction they have received at the college.
 Either the students themselves are too mentally blind and unworthy to profit by the education given them or else the faculty has, consciously or un- consciously, instilled the venom of sec tional animosity while delivering the ordinary instructions of the institution. We are inclined to regard the walkout as due to perverse mentality of tho negro, and not to the teachings he has received. It is possible the faculty, composed chiefly of Northern white men. has been over conscientious in avoiding references and opinions con that 1t has been deemed wise never to mention this subject. except on State occasions: If so, the very delicacy of feeling dictating the policy Is miscon- strued by the negro student. He is unable to appreciate the consideration or torbearance, interpreting 1t as kin4 his own views and importance. Conse. quently 1t would be just like the negrQ to .eonstrue what this faculty Of Northern whites might deem a wise and kindly silence into confession redolent with negro ascendancy over the whites of the South.
 This is negro perversity, pure ana simple, The South Is as familiar with 1t as 1t is with the black faces on the plantations, and we are not surprised at 1t cropping out in the Talladega Coi- lege.
 Be this as it may, the walkout for such a cause cripples the success or the Talladega experiment with the negro. It teaches that the mind of the black Is even more barren than was suPposedi for these very students, though com siderng themselves the pets of Q Northern society for the present, know that ultimately they are dependent upSh the Southern whites for their very existence. They know. too. that Southern whites find employment for their whole race, and that, while North ern societies educate a few, me South ern white men educate million ne- groes.
 The South, however, is too tolerant of negro absurdities to visit any pun ishment upon him because of this rldle. why. the Southern white, man should want the job. and to indulge in quiet laugh at the waoerhaul the Northern society has drawn down in TalladeE@

m WAS A pooMERANc.

One Of the most pitiful figures in The Town Topics libel case is that of Judge DeueI-pitiful in one respect but al- most humorous In another. A suit for libel was begun against Golfers Week. ly. or Mir. Hapgood, its editor. charged with criminally labelling Justice Deuel, of the Inferior Court of New York. The editor was acquitted on the ground that what he said was true and that it should have been said. While this may have been an unexpected ending, at least to the Judge and Colonel Mann, it was beyond question the correct ver- diet.
 The humorous feature of it is that the tables should have been so com pletely turned. The bitter was bitten and those who went out after wool came back shorn. Rarely does a libel suit have such an ending. Rarely is tho plaintiff in a criminal suit convict ed instead of the defendant. True, he was not convicted by the court or by jury, but at the bar of public opinion he stands guilty of falsehood and per- SN+gs NAOAaASB anu III lne eyes or men the plaintiff became the defendant and was convicted. He was not only con victed of bearing false e@vitness but was also shown to be guilty of being en- gagged in business other than that of a judge.
 The pitiful part of it is that a man of advanced years who was thought worthy of occupying a place in one of the high courts of the country should have descended to the level that he has plainly reached. His usefulness as a judge or as any other public man is at an end. There has already gone the event that he refuses to resign voluntarily, steps will be taken for his removal, because he has put himself In position that ends his career as public man. He can no longer be re- garded as the kind of man to hold the scales of justice with even hand. He has shown himself unfit to sit in judg- ment on his fellow man or to decide important questions of law or equity While he may be pitied he cannot claim that he Is being persecuted. Whatever comes to him in this matter comes as result of his own acts. His example may serve as a warning, perhaps, teaching those who go into court to ask for justice that they should go with clean hands

Oates and the senatorship.


 It is more than likely that General William Calvin Oates will be in the primary as candidate for United States senator. He is a native Piker, Southeast Albama has always been his home, and early in life he established a reputation as a constitutional law yer. When the tocsin of internecine war sounded he sprang to the front on many a bloody field in defense of home and country. When the black cloud of radicalism threatened to en- gulf the entire South in political ruin, reward, he threw himself into the breach and his clarion voice was heard from the Tennessee valley to the Pine Belt of the gulf, appealing to the nope sons of his native State to stand shoul- der to shoulder against the black CO., horts and save themselves from politi- cal thralldom. In the constitutional convention of 1875, as chairman of the judiciary committee, he was instrumental in embodying in the organic law of that year, many of those beneficient the front rank of American common wealths. For fourteen years in the lower house of congress, much of the time at the head of the Judiciary com mittee, he made a reputation which did honor to his home people, and then in a whirlwind, as 1t were, he won the goVernorship and served one term. re- fusing to stand for second. time. He served for some time as a brigadier general in the United states army dur ing the Spanish American war. In the last contest he lost the senatorship on account of a combination of circum- stances which his friends could not control, but they ara undaunted, and now, that the people have the election in their hands, in the primary, it is going to take the very strongest man In the State to defeat him. He is now of the right age to be counsel, and in the United States Senate he would bring a reminder of the days of King and Walker.

 read with much interest the arti. Gle In your columns by MT. J. I. Mc- Kinney on the street car company. I heartily agree with Mir. Mckinney in one thing I wish to cali the attention of street car companies and the public at large to. Much has tGen said in our our Is legislative halls and city council regarding the Jim crow" law, that is separating the whites and the blacks. The way 1t Is conducted in Montgom- cry IS a perfect farce; that is. to give negroes. and the front to whites. If the negroes get there first there Is no place for the whites as they will oc- cupy the whole car, and if the con ductor of the car attempts to make sulting: My sympathy is with the fSorSdnetor fnrSant for for at tines should any dis. policeman nearby to lend him assist ance. and they generally try to attach blame to him for trying to carry out afternoon. boarded a Perry street ear to come home. and there were six or eight nice. ladies crowded up to the front of the car and the balance ot the ear was crowded with negro wo- men with loud laughter and boisterous talking, and white men had to stand to prevent all of this; we have large negro population, and I would sug- gest that the street car company run trailer and have that car marked for negroes, and the front car marked for whites. Allow no whites to get in the negro car and no negroes in the white be. If this is not done soon I say, in the way of warning, that there will be serious trouble on these car lines. There Is no use to mince matters at all Negroes are becoming very up- pish and endeavoring to enforce social equality. etc, and the sooner an end is put to this the better.

ONLY TWO DAYS.

In the county of Montgomery there are 6.0OO white men of voting age. On the proportion of 60 per cent between the ages of 21 and 45. there are $500 who are subject to poll tax. It is pos sible that 900 of these, militiamen, etc., are exempt. This would leave 9, 100 voters above the poll tax age. 200 exempt and S,4o0 subject to payment of poll tax. It is a shame that less than One-half of those who should pay this tax in or- der to vote have failed to do so. When the books close tomorrow night. all those who have not paid up will he de- prived of the right to vote in coming primary and general elections. Those who neglect this great duty will have only themselves to blame. They will feel very cheap when they see friends and neighbors going 10 the polls and taking part in the election ot Statr and county officers while they must stand aside.

Governor JeIks.


 Not the least commendable policy of Governor Jelks's administration has been that to induce desirable immigra- tion to Alabama This has been one of the Governors most cherished pro- tects, and when he shall have succeed ed, with the aid of numerous agencies, in brin ging thousands of good immi- grants Into the State to assist in It's development, he will be entitled to the thanks of the people of the entire State-Sheffield Reaper
 When the historian comes to write the record of Governor Jelks, he will accord to him a high need of praise for his safe, sound and conservative management of the affairs of nearly two million of people. Under his regime, the old State has prospered as never before He has been faithful to every trust. seeking no political ad- vantage whatsoever by reason of his exalted position, but faithfully endeav- bring to fulfill the fondest expectations of trusting people.
 Officials, State and county, have been held to strict accountability with the result that grating and corruption prevalent in so many other States are unknown to Alabama. The young newspaper Governor has achieved dis tinction and has merited the confidence reposed in him. despite the handicap of months of i'll health which would have weakened and discouraged one with less of the sturdy manhood and unfal- tering devotion to duty possessed by Governor Jelks.

GENERAL SORROW.

Rarely indeed, has the death of any public man in the United States brought forth so many kindly expressions as did the death of General Wheeler. North and South, East and West, with out regard to locality, section or pol ltics, the newspapers unite in laying eulogistic wreaths on the bier of the hero of many battles, "the little bunch of wires" as The Hartford Couraut ad- miringly calls him. referring to his al- most unlimited energy and activity It Is well when all the differences that divide men are forgotten in the pres snce of death and all unite in loving words for the little soldier who was ever ready. ever faithful and ever com petent to carry out any task laid on aim. IL is a compliment to the sense of fairness of the American people that they forget anything that savers of lcrimony and only remember that Jo- seph Wheeler in his life and his ser Fices illustrated the highest conception of genuine Americanism.
