The speech made at Lauderdale, Miss by
OF the candidates for the u S. Senatorship
was just about the lowest dip ever made for
the vote of white folks.
have heard worse appeals made to negroes
Georgia had her share of that in the years
of the past when both factions of the whites
competed for the negro vote; but Just such
speech as John Sharp Williams made to the
white folks, at Lauderdale, is unprecedented.
Listen to J. Sharp:
If such thing as government control of
railroads should come into force, we would
have the old Reconstruction days conditions
BACK ON US IN A MINUTE"
Listen again to T. Sharp:
How would you like for nigger ticket
agent or conductor on a train where your
wives and daughters may have to travel UN-
ATTENDED? Something might turn up that
you would be compelled to whip black feder-
al employe, and then you would be tried by
a Judge in sympathy with this very thing"
Now, who. ever heard the like of that?
If the government takes charge of the rail
roads, Reconstruction horrors will be back on
us in minute, our wives and daughters will
be at the mercy of negro men, and if "some-
thing turns up and we whip the negro"
he will be tried before a judge who "sympa-
thizes with that very thing
With what thing Johnny?
Will your imaginary Judge sypathize with
your supposed belligerent who has whipped
fictitious ''nigger ticket agent or conductor"
for an alleged insult of some kind to mythical
white wives and daughters travelling unat-
tended? or will your imaginary Judge sympa-
thize with your fictitious niger?
Explain yourself, Johnny.
Mr.. Williams speech as reported in the
Meridian Miss, Weekly Star, is an amazing
performance.
His whole conception seemed to be that
his hearers could be imposed upon to an un-
limited extent, and their fears of social equal-
ty aroused to such pitch as to deafen them
to reason. He talked as though he considered
them to be not only ignorant, but b1ndly
prejudiced, and incapable of resisting a pas
siOnate appeal to sectional and race hatred
In effect he told his hearers that if the Fed
eral Government should own and operate the
railroads their wives and daughters in becom-
ing passengers upon the cars, would fall into
the custody of negro conductors, in personal
contact with and in personal custody of ne
gro men.
Mr.. Williams knows quite we'll that he could
make no statement which would kindle fercer
flames of passion. He knows quite we'll that
the Southern people would again grab their
guns and fight their bloody way to another
glorious Charlottesville, sublime Gettysburg
and doleful Appomattox, before they would
submit to any such condition of things as he
predicted.
Therefore, when John Sharp Williams, in
the absence Of his rival in the race, took ad-
vantage of his audience in that manner, he was
playing it pretty low down on the people of

Great Mechanical Improve ments.

Great changes and improvements are in course of installation in the mines and mills at La Colorado (Minas Prietas). The Grand Gen. tral mill and Butters cyanide plant have been overhauled completely, a new engine installed, and an @rlal tramway has been constructed to convey to that mill the old shines dump below the Creston- Colorado mill, where the shines will be treated-they being ground more finely and then put through the cyanide plant. It is antici pated that all will be completed and in operation early next week.
 In the cyanide plant at the Cres- ton Colorado mill there have been extensive alterations and improve ments by which there has been effected great saving in labor and economy in operation. To describe 1t all would require the pen of an expert chemist. One man and three boys do now the work done formerly by a score of men; and the same work is accomplished at a monthly saving of $500 gold. The use of sulphuric acid in the cyanide process has been elimin- ated, and instead of precipitating the precious metals from the cyanide solution upon coarse shaw ings the zinc is now cut into fine threads which are reeled into large skeins that are laid in the precip- itation tanks.
 In the Creston- Colorado mill the foundations have been laid for a new and powerful Harrisburg en- zine and dynamo, which will be

Mayor Bfiekwood Abroad.

The Wickenburg Miner of q re- cent date says.
 J. T. Brickwood of Nogales, passed through Wickenburg one day this week on his way to see some mining property in the Har- qua Hala range. He was accom- panied by Thos Bentley, mining man of considerable note. Mir. Brickwood was in Wickenburg 37 years ago when the Apaches were making practice of raising peoples scalps and doing all sorts of depredations, and when the Vulture mine was in its prime, also when Wickenburg was consid- cred place of great importance on the map. The first Vulture mill was situated on the banks of the Hassayampa just above where the cyanide plant is located, up the river. Forty stamps were then pounding away on the rich gold ore from the famous mine.
 Since MT. Brickwood's departure from Arizona the mill was moved from Wickenburg to the mine at Vulture, and forty more stamps were added. The town boomed for number of years until the shutting down of the property and now the old Vulture seems to be on the verge of breaking out of its long sleep, and if the reports that are going the rounds are true it Is altogether probable that 1t will come to life again.
 MT. Brickwood, himself a pros- porous hotel and mining man of Nogales, was pleased to note the modern appearance of Wickenburg, and its good substantial growth since its resurrection from the shadows of the past, and if his present plans materialize he will be a frequent visitor in Wicken- burg, and in all liklihood will have the pleasure of witnessing the starting of another great reduction plant.

 At the Creston hoist, at Minas Pfietas there has been installed new and powerful lngersoll.Ser- geant air compressor; and down in the mine on the 1900 foot level a new and very powerful Reidler pump is in operation. And the story is but half told.

TOLSTOYS JEREAIAD.

Eighty years are assumed to command respect,
at least when many OF them have been filled
with virtue and benevolence and when he who
bears them is the object of numerous peoples
confidence and love. We must treat the utter
ances of Count Tolstoy therefore, in manner
different from that which would be fitting II
they were put forward by a less venerable and
less venerated man. Nevertheless, it is difficult
to regard them, as we find them reported by a
correspondent of THE New York Times other
wise than with a certain pity for their feebleness
and lack Of information or Of discernment, and
if with forgiveness rather than resentment for
his lampoons upon America and Americans, with
depression almost amounting To despair for the
Russian people who follow blndly so unsOund
q leader.
Count TolstOy's consuming hatred Of patriot
ism is a well known thing, and his repeated ex-
preston of 1t excites no surprise. We know,
too his Christian anarchist hatred of ordered
government But with all allowance for these,
there is no excuse for his declarations that par
liamentary government ''is n well known and
an acknowledged failure in all countries" that
the American Congress and state legislatures
have wrought ian evil work." that we have here
reproduced European conditions in their most
exaggerated form" and that "in no part OF the
world is class so arrayed against class as in
the United States. We do not suppose that he

information and from distorted perceptions.
Witness his saying, 81 grant you were great and
strong in the days of Emerson and ThOreau,
but to-day you place your trust in armies and
lin the treasure that is In your vaults" Yet
the days of Emerson and Thoreau" were the
days of the Mexican War, the Ostend Manifesto
and the fugitive slave law
1t seems, indeed, impossible for him to speak
of America without exaggerated msrepresenta-
ton. Your platform makers" he affirms edo

government but they say Well make you all

to assume that this profound philosopher has
taken the data for his immortal preachmentS
from some comic cartoon of the full dinner

how else he arrived at such conclusions. Our
political platforms have their faults, but GER

THE PUBLIC FRANCHISE PROBLEM.

The agreement tust reached between Phla-
deIphia and its traction company is more favor
able to the city than were the franchises under
which the company was operating. and at the
same time It puts the company into a more
secure position than 1t has recently occupied, so
that It may better appeal for capital to i'm
prove end develop It's system The valuable
franchise granted a few years ago were prac-
tically gifts, containing no provision for re-
Enumeration to the city, but the company had
endangered If It had not forfeited them by
failure TO build and put IN operation the re-
Quired roads The precarious situation OF the
company's rights, together with its heavy cap
italizatlon, including the guaranteed stock of
leased corporations made investors unwilling
to venture money IN building the new roads.
Such roads are absolutely necessary to Phil
adelphia's development, so that the city, instead
Of declaring the franchises forfeit, has entered
into a new agreement securing the company s
position for fifty years TO come and receiving
Erom It certain remuneration in return.
The company establishes q sinking fund to
retire its capital stock, S3o,oo0,000, at the end
of fifty years, and the city reserves the ri ht
10 purchase put up at auction the property
of the company at the end Of fifty years, pay
ing the par value of the present capital stock
plus the par value Of any capital stock TO be
issued with the city's consent Meanwhile the
city is To share in the profits of the company,
receiving onehalf of all dividends above per
cent
This agreement, resembling In some respects
the settlement between Chicago and its trac-
tion companies, represents one answer to the
difficult question what terms to grant public
franchises. The Philadelphia compromise recog-
uizes that the development Of the public service
company is in the public interest. dtys progress
is TO some extent dependent upon its public ser
vice companies, and If terms are offered to them
so severe as to repel capital the city itself re-
ceiFes check. We have had an illustration Of
that tendency here in New York. The Elsberg
law limiting subway franchise to twenty
years, together with other strict requirements
regarding the new subways, has made them I'M
attractive TO capital. England, which has had
n larger experience with the public franchise
problem than this country, found, according to
a writer n "Cassier's Magazine" that short
franchises were failure, as they repealed cap

first three belong sufficiently to the past to be
spoken of freely and confidently. Thoreau was
most of all akin TO Count Tolstoy in his erratc
sociology, and yet the Hermit Of Walden at
times interested himself in the maintaining and
promoting of that very representative govern
ment' which Count Tolstoy loathes. There have
been few more fervent and no more eloquent eX-
ponents Of patriotism than Claiming. And as
for Emerson. who heads Count Tolstoy's list,

and deeds of his against the vagarles or the

pendent wealth he is inclined to do good to many
and to do harm to none without regard for the
restraints of law, therefore all men should be
trusted 10 do the same and all laws and all gov

America and his predictions that the fall of this
republic will come more swiftly than the fall of
Rome, we must regard such vaporous teachings
as his as the most pernicOus that could be i'm

4 PROMPT REAppORTIOyMENT

The necessity of a prompt agreement on reap
portionment is obvious. There is no excuse for
delay. for even at the regular session it was ap-
parent that both Senator RaineS and Speaker
WadswOrth We're agreeable to plan that would
put the WadswOrth county of Livingston into the
district of Senator Ralnes. With this great QueS-
ton of where the WadswOrth county should 90
satisfactorily settled. il ought to be perfectly
possible 10 rearrange the other counties that
no fatal heartburningS would result.
Reapportionment is personal question, Of
course but ii is clearly affected with public
interest, the legal saying is, and obduracy
and a protracted special session would convert
1t into public question. The people will easily
become impatient of the delay if the statesmen
fight too hard over parcelling ont Gle counties
among themselves. and they will begin to ask
who is putting the state to the expense OF the
extra session and why he is doing it. We are a
tolerant people regarding the politicians habit
of treating public matter rs a personal matter
tolerant up to a certain point and then-well,
the lesson of history is that such tolerance is
not TO be abused
