breadth and conservativeness of his
views, and the candor and fairness

There's a Niger
in the Woodpile

One of the trials and tribulations to
which every editor is subjected is
when patron of the paper comes with
a good story" referring to some To-
cal incident OF course, every paper
tries to be the first to publish such
incidents, and If he can have it ex-
clusively for his own publication, there
is a glow of satisfaction in the edi-
torial breast. Much depends upon the
standing of the party furnishing the
information; if he has an established
reputation and is willing that his
name shall be mentioned if called for,
the story goes in and is commented
upon as it's importance warrants. But
if the news is furnished by less re-
sponsible party, the question occurs
at once to the editor rs there mig
ger in the woodpile?"
This mode of expressing doubt as
to isinte tstedness, has spread from
South to North ana West, and few
days pass in the editorial rooms of
the great daily papers when it does
not come up for discussion. 1t has
passed into the counting rooms and
private parlors where investments are
under consideration, and many a
scheme, honest or dishonest, has failed
when the verdict was pronounced:
There's a niger in the woodpile."
Popular expressions like this come
and go, but while they are in use, they
show the tendency of public thought.
In this case it proves that the negro
is attracting unusual attention, and
that he is rapidly becoming an object
of study. This is encouraging. All
the South has ever asked is that the
negro be judged as he is and for his
own worth. When the North is doing
so spontaneously and on it's own &C
cord, the time is not far distant when
the Race Problem will be settled as
the South would like to see it settled.

Full Blood Us. Aft an Aft

The cold-blooded, white livered
money making machine known to the
world as Andrew Carnegie has been
so accustomed to see his platitudes |
applauded on account of their golden
sound, that it must have come as a
shock to him to be caught beyond his
depth. The unpaid lacky of royalty
and nobility who had the hardihood to
sew Great Britain's flag upon the back
of our own Stars and Stripes and who
openly processes to be half American
and ALT Britisher has often discussed
subjects of which he is quite as ignor-
ant as the lowest coon, claiming as his
own what his SECRETARY has compiled.
There is no end to the conceit and
egotism of this production of our
money-grubbing age. Quite recently
he ventured to make an address on the
negro before the Philosophical Insti-
tute in Edinburg, Scotland. He pic
tured him as an industrious and saving
citizen, assigning to him the only two
qualities which Carnegie is able to
appreciate, and thus pronouncing the
highest eulogy Carnegie is able to
conceive.
This stirred the full blood Anglo
Saxon. England's former premier,
Lord Roseberry sat down on Mr.. 'Alf-
an-'Alf with a dull thud. The English
man reasoning from the broad view of
humanity, proved that Mr.. Carnegie
was braying ass. He deprecated the
granting of suffrage to the negro claim.

The Need for Dwellings,

That study of our state exchanges
to which the Daily News sets such i'm
portance, shows the 1fAed of more
dwellings in every town and commun-
ity of the state. We have the money
and material to build but, even if we
did not have these already, business
demand so keenly felt should be salts
fed from without the American COM
munity feeling it. In Vicksburg a call
is made for the resurrection of the old
building and loan associations that
did so much for us in the past, and
patriotic citizens of means" are in
vited everywhere to put up 81 1900"
house for reasonable rent.
The plea that transportation cannot
be obtained is futile here-the mater
ials for such houses and for much
more pretentious ones can be found
| in the immediate vicinity of all these
towns. Such materials are excellent
for the purpose and only a little glass
and few bricks would come from a
distance. Even these might be pro-
vided at home when enterprise and
skill marches abreast of the demand
for them.
| But there is a more vital need. The
workmen are lacking. We have nc
quarrel with the unions, but the effect
of their policies is stopping the devel
opment of the state. No great skill is
needed to supply our immediate de
mands for houses, but any man willing
to handle a Ratchet and drive a nail
is Immediately taken into fellowship
and then he must be paid the price
of skilled laborer while doing hall
the work and giving nothing of skilled
workmanship to the product. The
unions will not teach our youth what
is not considered needed by them
selves. The final result of all is that
men lack work in the same commun
ity where families lack houses and the
material wait in vain for Transports
ton.
These conditions should be studied
with view to finding some remedy
We have no doubt that the labor

trouble has been one of the most &C
tive men in the union ranks.
Last night he returned to the Dis
patch office and begun taking mes
sages. When his copy" went back
to the linotype operators they notified
the business office that they would not
set "non-union" copy.
Mr.. Morgan was sent down to the
office of the Western Union and took
the messages at that place, this move
being satisfactory to the Typograph-
ical Union.

How to Cure a Cold.

The question of how to cure cold
without unnecessary time is one
in which we are all more or less inter-
ested, for the quicker a cold is gotten
rid of the less the danger of pneu-
monia and other serious diseases.
Mr.. B. w. L. Hall, Of Waverly, Va,
has used Champerlain's Cough rem
edy for years, and says: Il firmly
believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
to be absolutely the best preparation
on the market for colds. l have rec

corporation from the state whose laws
prohibit monopolies, can do no harm.
The same may be said of the Tobacco
Trust and other corporations whose
direct object is to raise prices for no
other reason than to declare greater
dividends. No economic reasons can
be adduced for their existence.
In cases like this, the state has
ample authority, and this shows the
difference between corporations af-
fecting the state, and such as affect
other states. Tennessee and Louisi-
ana have no interest in Alabama's
ousting of such trusts as are men
toned above. But the two states will
have serious cause of complaint If
Alabama should try to stop the opera
ton of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad, or to destroy the wires of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
Here is where the state would dis
tinctly exceed its authority.
The main question is: To what ex-
tent shall the Democratic platform
commit the party concerning corpora
tions? Shall it, in response to popu-
lar clamor, advocate further and radi-
cal legislation?
Intense excitement is always follow
ed by reaction,-and popular wave
is nothing but temporary excitement
because usually it is due to sentiment
and not to logic. We may, there
fore, confidently look for such reac
ton after the wave is past and nor
NAL conditions are restored. If the
platform does contain plank concern.
ing corporations, it should discrimi
nate carefully between legitimate en-
terprises and such as are conducted
in evasion of the law. 1t should evince
honesty of purpose and sincerity in
its demands and promises, disregard
popular clamor and appeal to reason
Honesty and fearlessness appeal tc
the people more than hypocritcal clap
trap.
1t will take unusually able and
broad-minded men to prepare such a
plank. 1t touches too closely the inter
ests, not only of the business com
munity but of everybody because not
resident of the United States bu

shape of wages earnings, or dividends
Most men would shrink from the re

II plication would be required to conside
the subject in all its phases. The mex
| Democratic convention will need un
usual sagacity if it does justice to tn
: subject; it would be best if it restrict

law upon all illegal combinations.

Corporations and the Platform,

Interstate public utilities, as has
been shown must be treated conserva-
lively not radically. This is the more
necessary since, in injuring ones
own state, there is danger that ad
jacent states may also be injured and
animosity may arise. It's a very deli
cate subject to touch under any cir
cumstance. One state has recently de-
cided to revoke the charters of the
Telegraph companies. Will that state
equip and operate a telegraph system
of it's own? If So how will it connect
with interstate lines? If not, how will
it provide the Geographic commune
cation which business interests de-
mand?
Catering to temporary popular i'm
pulse. especially where it emanates
from certain portions of the popula-
ton, is nothing short of suicidal policy,
and ensures to it's author condemna-
ton and obloquy. "The law must be
enforced; if it is not we are entering
upon anarchy" This is perfectly true
but it shows how absolutely necessary
conservatism is in a legislature. The
members represent their constituency
and will advocate any measure, re
CARELESS of the consequences it may
entail, if it is popular among the ma
jority of the constituents. This would
be proper and commendable if this ma
jority is intelligent and has calculated
the possible and probable effects o.
such measure. If it is merely al
effervescent popular wave, the dele
gate will show higher appreciation
of his duty, and will earn the respect
and confidence of the suffragists, if he
pays no respect to the popular de
mand. There are social condition!
when the responsible man must as
sumo the responsibility.
1t is different with mercantile cor
porations aiming at monopoly. The
Standard Oil Trust has made it {
science to evade or defy the laws, anC
in doing so, its authorities deserve
the punishment prescribed by law. Its
dissolution as lawless corporation
would call into existence a number Of

tors will deliver the public from a
