THE matter Of the passage of ship
subsidy bill this winter or next spring
is entirely in the hands of the Repub-
licans. They have a president favora-
BILE to the proposition, they control the
house and senate and there is nobody
to say them nay If they really want to
pass a bill. We have all along been
favorable to the passage Of bill of
this kind. We believe that If 1t will
readily develop an American merchant
marine, 1t is the thing that the whole
country needs. The south will be ben
Gifted immeasurably. and the benefit
will extend to the whole people. But
as to whether the bill will be passed
we are doubtful, very doubtful. There
is as much opposition to 1t among the
Republicans as there is among the
Democrats; and we think that the next
session of congress will go by without
a ship subsidy bill having become a
law.

SAMUEL SPENCER KILLED.
President of the Southern Loses His
Life In Smashup.

Life In Smashup.
President Samuel Spencer, Of the
Southern railroad and three friends
who were travelling with him In a pri-
vate car, were killed as the result Of q
rear end collision near Lynchburg, Va.
at an early hour yesterday morning.
It appears that Mr.. Spencer and par
ty were going south in a special car
His train was stopped near Lynch
burg. In some manner not yet fully
explained, following passenger train
was allowed to enter the same block
at the rate Of sixty miles an hour.
Mr. Spencer and party are supposed
to have been asleep; but whether OF
not they were can never be known
After the engine Of the fast train
crashed into their car, the car caught
fire and the bodies Of all the members
Of the party were badly burned, Mr.
Spencers body almost beyond recog-
milton.
Along with the body Of Mr.. Spencer
was found the bodies Of Chas. D. Fish
er Of Baltimore, Md, Philip Schuyler
of New York city, Frank T. Redwood
Of New York city. D. W. Davis, Mr.
Spencer's train dispatcher, was also
killed in the car and William Pollard
a negro porter was so badly injured
that he died shortly afterward.
Only E. A. Merrill Of New York city,
Mr.. Spencers private secretary, and
one Of three porters survive the acci-
dent.
Mr.. Spencer and party were on their
way to Friendship, N. c., to go hunt
ing.
The injured in q forward car includ-
ed eight negroes some Of whom will
die. It was at first reported that the
engineer of the following train was
killed, but this turns out to have been
a mistake.
Mr.. Spencer was born in Columbus.
Ca, and for many years has had the
reputation Of being one Of the fore
most railroad men Of the country.
]. P. Morgan was dreadfully shocked
at the news Of Mr.. Spencer's death.

Senator TiIInan's Chicago Speech.

Senator TiIlnan's Chicago Speech.
Senator Tillman Of South Carolina,
Is to deliver lecture In Chicago to-
night for the benefit Of Union hospital.
Chicago negroes have made angry pro-
testations against the senator's dis
cussing the race question and there
have been yelled threats Of physical in
timidation. Petitions have been sent
to the mayor urging him to refuse Mr..
Tillman permission to speak, and May
or Dunno, who had intended to preside
at the meeting, has cancelled his ac-
ceptance.
Incensed by the protests Of the ne
groes, the senator from South Carolina
has expressed his purpose to treat the
race question with even more frank
ness than he originally intended, and
as a guarantee Of good faith he deliv-
Saturday night which was little less
than an open challenge to every negro
in the country.
Senator Tillman Is an honest man
and undoubtedly a sincere man, but
we fail to see wherein anything but
evil can come from his incendlary
speeches on the race question.
The negroes Of the south are not go
ing to be more Industrious and law
abiding because a United States sem
ator says, almost all Of them are by
nature liars and all will steal" They
are not going to lie more docile because
Mr.. Tillman says, I'VE will resort to
the shotgun, which Is the best instru-
ment have ever seen to make a negro
stay in the road" They are not going
to respect white supremacy the more
by being called animals" They are
not going to be more honorably ambi-
tious when they hear Booker T. Wash
ington sneered at as "a half who
Is seeking a political position" The
north itself Is not going to be more
sympathetic with the whites of the
south when the senator from South
Carolina screams, "the southern people
are as good as you northerners, and in
many things are better, and one Of
these higher things is that we value
woman higher than you do"
The north long ago acknowledged the
failure Of indiscriminate negro suffrage.
BY tacit consent the south has been

The cotton mills did not observe
Thanksgiving as holiday. Most Of

off, of course, were allowed to do so.
There was quite large congrega-

in the first Presbyterian church yester-
day. The services were conducted by
Revs. E. E. Gillespie, w. C. Ewart and

buttons were liberal.

In the event Bethel township shall
vote two mill levy for road purposes,
the amount raised will be sSO7.59. The
taxable property Of Bethel township is
now assessed at $4O3,7s5. Should the
township decide to issue bonds for road
purposes a two mill levy would pay 6
per cent interest on about $4,000.
That is quite an interesting letter
that Mr.. Thomas P. Moore sends from
San Francisco. Being practical bus
mess man, Mr.. Moore deals more es-
pecially with those things that would
be the subject of natural inquiry among
business people. Taking the letter as
a whole, it seems to say that while
California is a most wonderful state,
the people out there are making a cruel
mess of the use to which they are put
thing natures bounties. Capital, no
doubt, is often unreasonable and un-
just: but the so-called labor leader is
generally more so. Here 1t seems that
the many are denied lucrative employ
ment in order to make 1t softer for the
few, and the few are no doubt bled for
the benefit of the walking delegates
who undertake to keep the situation
we'll in hand.

The British parliament has before
it some of the most far-reaching leg
islation proposed in the United King
dom in recent years. OF chief, immedi-
which as submitted by the government
effects a radical change in the school
systems of the country. The Liberals
as a party are pledged that there shall
be no denominational teaching at the
public expense, while the Unionists,
led by both Catholic and Church of
England dignitaries, insist that chill
dren of parents belonging to those
churches shall have religious instruc-
ton during the public school hours.
Lord Heneage, one of the few Liber-
ais in opposition, offered an amend
ment in the house of lords to this ef-
feet, and a vote "in committee" result
ed in the adoption Of this amendment
and the consequent defeat of the gov
ernment by vote of 256 to Sc. The
occasion was remarkable for the large
attendance-usuallyf fewer than hun
dred of the upper house are present
and for the sharp and business like de-
bate, likewise unusual in that severe
ly dignified body. A judicial appeal
upon the question of the liability Of To-
cal educational bodies for the expense
of religious education, is pending, and
though the government declined to de-
lay vote until after decision on this
appeal had been reached, it is probable
that the finding will have effect in the
ultimate form Of the education bill.

REPORTS FRoM THE GINNERs-In his
annual report Director of the Census
North says concerning the cotton re-
ports:
TT has been the earnest desire of
the bureau to bring its system Of re-
PORTING to the highest degree OF efi-
cheney.
"a complete record. of quantity of
cotton ginned," II states, ''is not pos
sible, unless ginners report accurately
the output Of their gins. That q great
majority of them do this, I have no
doubt; that many have failed to do 50
Is evident, and In some sections there
are signs Of more or less concerted pur-
pose to understate the ginning, In the
hope Of thereby influencing the current
market price Of the crop. There can
be no question but that the census
ginning reports have been worth mill
ions Of dollars to the cotton planters
by protecting the market from assaults
# the speculators."
Director North recommends the en-
lctment Of more rigid laws to enable
the census officers to secure inforna-
ton.

WILLIAMS ON THE RACE PRoBLEM.-A
dispatch from Walthall, Miss, says:
he south's rapid industrial develop
nent was tonight attributed by Con-
,ressman John Sharp Williams to the
substantial disfranchisement OF the
negro. He said that from 1890 to 1900,
;,ississippi made greater increases in
manufacturing than Connecticut, and
the south generally greater per cent
than New England. AS a reason for
this he said:
"The reason consists in the fact that
in 1890 Mississippi adopted a constitu-
ticn virtually dlsfranchising the negro
race, without, however, violating the
rovisions Of the fifteenth amendment"
Louisiana, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia and Alabama had
done likewise, he said, and the result
had been racial peace. accompanied by
material welfare.
AS solution Of the negro question,
Mr. Williams favored importing white
,abor.
