White Slaves in the South.

Much has been said i'm the papers Of
late about white slavery. or a system
Of peonage as it is commonly called
which exists i'm certain sections of
the color problem is involved. for the
victims OF the system are for the most
part foreigners, poor ignorant and
helpless. who make contracts" with
southern planters upon their arrival
in this country which result in their
being held in what is virtual slavery
Most Of the victims of this system are
from Italy and Austria. and
Mississippi morc.than any other single
state. has been the scene of this sys-
TENS operation.
The federal authorities have been
showing some degree of activity
against this peonage system which is
unquestionably form of bondage
that is unconstitutional. and i'm this
activity the New Orleans Picayune
thinks it finds evidence that the
national government is trying to keep
foreign immigration out of the South
The Picayune does not deny that such
but declares that the foreign laborers
are generally treated with kindness
and that tb. etnnIoyerr advance than,
both money and provisions after the
contracts are signed. a kindness
which the laborerS often repay by
deserving the plantations for the cities
where they can find more liberty. 1t
is on account of these assertions, so
the Pcayune holds, that the
employers. in order to protect them
selves, are having To stop making the
advances of money and have to treat
the laborers after the chain gang
system.
One cannot help regarding with
distrust contracts between planters
DESTROYS to get the most labor for thu
least money. and foreigners, who do
not understand English, and possibly
are misinformed as to the conditions
of the agreements. All the adj
vantagcs are on the side of the en-
ployer. He keeps the accounts, and if
he choose can make it out that the
employe is always in debt. Whether
the contracts are fair or unfair. the
laws under which men who break
them are held in bondage certainly are
unconstitutional, and the men sent to
the chain gang under them should be
set free. There liberation would not
be evidence of hostility to the south
and desire to deprive it of labor. 1t
would be simply the performance of
d plan and imperative duty.

The shoe is now on the other foot
in the matter of undesirable immigra-
ton. This country usually does the
worrying. but now it is a European
country. Germany is reported to be
mucn alarmed over the return rush of
recent emigrantS to America. The
fear is that thousands of the aliens
now leaving the United States for their
ola homes in central and southeastern
Europe. by way of German ports, will
lodge in that country. their funds h;,v-
ing been used up in paying for their
steamship passages. The German gov
ernment is being urged to adopt meas
urcs, such DIS obtain in this country, Of
prohibition against the landing of per-
sons without some money on hand or
VINO arc likely to become q public
charge. Probably these fears arc
groundless. Most OF those who are
now going back to their former homes
in the Old World are very much better
off financially than when they came to
this country.

Japan is Good Natured hqai,.

ON" little passage in the annual

this country appears to have made a
from the cables from Toxic to the
American newspapers. 1t is true that
the message had no discussion of the
problem Of japanese immigration
which holds so prominent a place on
has made very little comment in this
country. But the message did~contain
Il paragraph calling attention to the
coming international exposition to be
held in Japan. and declared IN
emphatic terms that the geographical
relations of Japan and the United
portions of the coasts of the Pacific,
the intimate trade relations already
existing between the two countries.

maintained between them without a
break since the opening Of japan to
interc"urs" with the Western nations.
aud her increasing wealth and prodrc-
ton. which We regard with hearty
good will. and the wish to make the
occasion mutually beneficial to com
mercc. all unite in making it "cmi-
nentIy desirable that this invitation
should be accepted
II is plain that the Presidents brief
word on this subject has greatly
battered the national pride Of the
japanese people, because it classes
them at last with the civilized powers
Japanese are especially sensitive. 'i-;rc
Toxic dispatches say that this part OF
the message is regarded there as an
unanswcrablc argument against those
people who have been trying to make
trouble between Japan and the United
States. Plainly it was a wise bit Of
policy on the part of the President to
embody this reference to the coming
exposition at Toxic and no doubt it
is To be regarded as statesmanship of
a high order rather than as a matter
of mere luck that the President has
struck just the right chord certain to
restore the friendly feelings between
the two countries. The exposition in
question will be the first instance of
such an analr held by a great power
dwelling upon the Pacific and beyond
doubt the Presidents recommendation
regarding the participation of this
country Will be promptly endorsed by
Congress and the American people.

A Merited Tribute to Senator Frye


The Washington Star pays a merited
tribute to Senator Frye of this State.
and. i'm so doing. ably voices the re-
spect and esteem in which he is held
at the National Capital. 1t says.
"Mr Frye's reelection as president
pro .emDore of the Senate would have
boan unanimous except for forms
sake. He fills the office with such
ability and iu.partiality that the minor
ity, quite as well as the majority, is
pleased 10 see him SO hOnored. He
possesses both the knowledge and the
temperament required in the place
He is both quick and fair. has the rules
by neart, and has administered them
so long it is impc ssibe to conceive of
a situation which would battle him. His
services to his state and to the country
have extended over many years, but
there is no diminution either of his
alrr,ness or of the interest with which
he views the progress of the nation"
1t is very gratifying t. the people of
this State who have long had an af-
fectionatc pride in the work Of Sena-
tor Frye. AMI his distinguished col
league, to find that the country at
large is equally appreciativc of their

tor Frye well deserves the high praise
