many generations. In their slow and
gradual advancement they will be
constant source of trouble and an
noyancc amounting to even a menace
as their numbers increase. AS to
what the solution of this difficulty,
the result of crimes and mistakes OF
the past, is, Senator Tillman appears
not to be any better able to deter
mine than anybody else.
His invective directed against the
Negro, calling him the tail end of
creation, the first cousin of baboon
and so forth is mere clap trap. Ac-
cordng to the highest scientific au-
thority Senator Tillman's remote an
cestors were monkeys and there isn't
much difference between monkey
and a baboon From Senator I'LL
mans point of view the niger
question is a serious one and there is
no doubt that it is, especially in the
south 1t can't, however, be settled
in the way that Mr.. 1'illman sug-
gested, by the whites turning out EN-
masse and Strengthening the blacks.
The day and generation for that kind
of thing has passed, at least in this
part of the world.
Mr. Tillman, doubtless, is honest
in his convictions. He is fearless
but there are many things in heaven
and earth are not dreamed of in his
philosophy, and among those things
is the solution of the Negro race
question.

books he may dispose of it to any
one else without violating the rules
of the company. There are no re-
strictions as to who shall use it.
On New York Central branch lines
the passenger rate is 21a to 3 cents
a mile, if ordinary tickets be bought,
but these 2-cent-a-mile books are
good on any part of the system. This
rule is on the theory that the pur-
chase of passenger transportation is
not merely a personal contract limit
ed to being carried out only as to the
original buyer, but that rather it is
the purchase of commodity much as
the purchase of sack of potatoes,
with the feature of a contract to give
safe carriage to the holder of tick
Ct The commodity is TO be con-
sumed in quantity nd manner to suit
the wish of the original buyer.-State

Senator Tillman had a large audi
encc at the Salt Lake theatre Sunday
evening when he lcctured on the race
problem, that is, the problem of the
Negro in the United States, what is
to be done with him and what is his
destiny Mr. Tillman is an entertain
ing talker, which was shown by the
fact that from little before nine
o'clock until nearly midnight he held
his audience, without any symptoms
of WEAKNESS on either his side or the
side of the audience and from the
beginning to the end his telling points
brought out applause, laughter and
deep feeling.
We think, however, he went on
wrong assumption He built up
man of straw at the very beginning,
and then proceeded to knock him
down His straw mai was that the
people of the northern states regard
the Negro as the equal of the white
race. They don't do anything of the
kind. No more do they regard the
Latin as the equal of the Anglo
Saxon.
1t is true, however, that the people
of the north are not fully alive TO the
gravity of the race question. that is
the Negro question. Fortunately the
Negro is not numerous enough in the
north to bring the question before
them as an issue. 1t is otherwise in
the southern states. There, it is a
very serious problem, but Mr.. Till
man offered no practical solution OF

TICKETS TREATED AS A CON-
MODIFY.

a recent press dispatch says that
a new principle probably will find ac-
ccptance in the newer philosophy of
state and interstate commerce-the
sale of passenger transportation ex-
actly like potatoes are sold, as COM
modify, conveying absolute title trans
fcrable of the option of the buyer.
1t is rapidly becoming the common
belief in Washington among govern
ment officials who have to do with
these matters that the plan in vogue
on the New York Central lines must
be universally adopted by all rail-
roads. This plan is.
One may go to any New York Cen
trail ticket office and buy mileage
book at cents fiat mile A 500
mile book costs $40; 1000 mile book
$50. This book may be used by a
man and his wife, the conductor
pulling" for instance 200 mile cou-
pons for the journey of the man and
wife to Albany, 100 miles from New
York City. This rule applies to every
station on the entire system. Furth-
ermore, the buyer may take with him
anyone he pleases to take, whether or
not a member of his family. For in
stance, if he sees friend on the train,
he NAV instruct the conductor to pull
twice IL mileage for the distance the
two are going from the same book.
Or he may take thus as many per-
sons as the mileage of the book will
carry.
Again, if he be Temporarily in the
state or on the Centrals lines, and
when ready to leave that region he
has an unused part of one of these

AN OFFER OF ONE-CENT POST
AGE.

A sharp and positive challenge to
the drift of sentiment toward govern
ment ownership arrested the atten-
ton of the country some weeks ago,
A fifty-million dollar corporation, re-
presented by Chicago publisher and
capitalist, proposed to take over the
operation of the national post office.
and to guarantee under heavy bonds
to cut the rate of postage in half
Directly considered, this is simply :,
great business proposition; reversed.
it is definite charge that we are now
paying double what we should for
our postal service, because of the in
efficiency of government operation.
The promoters of the proposed pri-
vate enterprise-said to be highly
successful and practical men, espec-
tally in the field of transportation
believe that their plan, if it could be
given trial, would be surely profit
able for two reasons: first, because
the lower rate on both first and sec
ond-class mail matter would greatly
stimulate postal business; and second,
because of the saving which could be
made out of vast wastes now going
on in the Post Office Department
The first of these theories is merely
a good business conjecture based on
previous government experience; it
is interesting, but not OF immediate
consequence to the American public;
but the second deserves early atten-
ton
The Post-Office Department. for
the last fiscal year, was operated at
nominal loss of ten million dollars.
Really, viewed from the standpoint
of private enterprise, the deficit was
much greater, for the costly govern
ment buildings occupied by city post
offices are not charged to this de-
partment, but to the department OF
the Treasury. Yet, according to its
own system of accounting, the Post
Office Department has not been self
supporting in any year since 1883.
Last year its annual gross receipts
were $I68,ooo,ooo, while its expenses
were $I7S,ooo,ooo.
A little more than one quarter of
this great total of expenditure, or

The ground is well taken in the
allegation that the Tribune, Telegram
and Herald are woven with the same
warp and wool. Some day, and at
some time, these alleged journals OF
public opinion may be clothed in sack
cloth and ashes. Just now all they
have to cover their nakedness is lit
tie cheesecloth and everyone can see

been able to do so. Mr. Iillman's
plan is disfranchsement of the Negro,
but that is only makeshift The Ne
gro by the constitution has equal
political rights with the whites, but
in the south it is only fiction and
should not be anything else, should
not even be that, but nevertheless
it is condition., a stern reality. This
or worse. The first was worse. 1t
was a gross sin.
1t consisted in bringing the Negroes
here at all They were brought
against their will brought by the
worst kind of brute force accomp-
anied by the grossest cruelties imag-
Unable Although it is true northern
men and Englishmen were to large
extent the instruments in capturing
and stealing the Negroes in Africa
and bringing them to this country as
slaves, they were brought in response
to commercial demand from the
Southern States. The the people of
the south bought the captiwes and
paid for them, made chattels of them
treated them as beasts of burthen;
treated them little better than they did
their dogs and their pigs and their
mules, and not as well as they treat
cd their horses. Savages to begin
with, used like beasts for long series
majority of the Negroes of the south
are little above the beasts today.
That was the sin of it. Now for the
mistake
After the Civil war or the war
between the states" as Senator Till
man prefers to call it, the general
government made the mistake of con-
ferring on the freed slaves those people
whose ancestors were brought here
savages, they and their progeny treat
ed as brute beasts, bought and sold
as chattels for generations were given
equal standing in the eye of the law
with the race of men which for
thousands of years had been slowly
but surely rising in the scale of Great
ed things. That was a grave mis-
take, but under all the trying and
terrible circumstances then existing,
it was mistake which any intelli-
gences below that of divinity itself
might we'll be excused for making.
The people of the south were chief
ly responsible for bringing the Ne
gro here, altogether responsible for
the condition of ignorance and beast
iality in which they kept him. They
lave got the Negro He is their
bette noir; they are paying the penalty
for the sins of their fathers and they
will have to work out their own
Salvation; but how, is the problem
which is yet unsolved. There are
100000 Negroes in the United
States. They are increasing more
rapidly in proportion to their num-
bers than the whites. They are not

WITH MURDER

OAKLAND, Dec. Mark A. Will
kins was today formally charged
with the murder of Verna Carmen,
the complaint being sworn to by
Sheriff Barnet. The complaint was
filed at 5 o'clock this afternoon be-
fore Justice of the Peace Geary.
Wilkins was today brought face to
face with l.. l.. Carmen, the husband
of the woman he is accused of muir
dering. Wilkins did not know that
he was facing the husband of the wo-
man he had passed off as his wife.
When Wilkins approached down the
corridor of the county Jail Carmen
bent forward and peered close into
the mans face.
There was in the wronged hus-
bands demeanor tenseness which
evinced great anger and outraged
feelings, but he did not give way to
his feelings. He faced the man who
had won the affections of his wife
and now accused of her murder. with
display of stoicism. When Will
kins' back was turned only did he
display the adherence he felt. He
shuddered perceptibly and shranK
back.
Wilkins was not at his best when
he appeared before Carmen. He had
been called out by Sheriff barnet
ostensibly for the purpose of inspect
ing some articles that he had
brought in from Wilkins home al

DEATH COMES To
GOLDFIELD WOMAN

News of the death of Mrs. William
Prior was received here yesterday
from San Francisco. She was indis-
posed when she left here last week
but none of her friends thought that
her sickness was of a serious nature.
Mrs. Prior had been active in char
liable work since her residence here,
and had endeared herself in the
hearts of those who were fortunate
to know her. William Prior, her
husband, who is a stakeholder in the
Exploration Mercantile company, has
gone to the city to look after the
burial
Mrs. Prior came to Tonopah over
three years ago and drove overland
to Goldfield. She was Sister of
Mercy in disguise in those days and
never lost interest in the sick.
Among those whom she helped to
nurse back to life was Walter Stone
when he was seriously Goldfield

STOCK PROMOTER
LANDS IN JAIL

sal, OF "a alleged criminal. which
was continued for three years. Was
brought 10 an end when Thomas II.
Mccauley. wanted In New York ON
charge OF grand larceny. was arrest
cd NJ the Hotel Westminster by
Pinkerton detectives and locked up
as a fugitive from justice. McCauley
was in 1904 president OF the Mer-
chants Security company OF New
York. a concern known as one OF the
Franklin banks. which promised
enormous dividends to those who
would purchase its stock. The divi-
dends were paid, but It is charged
that payments were made from in
vestments in its stock, and that the
entire capital was used in Wall street
speculations
When the crash came McCauley
was arrested for the alleged theft of
something over $4,000, and was re-
leased on $4,000 bail. He then dis
appeared. For three years the Pink
ertons followed him. The trail led
through Chicago to San Francisco,
thence to Los Angeles, and thence to
Mexico, where the alleged fugitive
has been living. A short time ago
he crossed the border and went to
Jerome.
He arrived here Friday, and to-
day, within an hour of his capture,
had organized a 100000 copper
company, known as the Bisbee Lode
company, and had interested a num-
Der of financiers, who did not know
his record. When arrested he did
not deny his identity but he has re-
tanned counsel and will fight extradi-
ton. being backed on it by wealthy
brother who resides in Pasadena.

INQUIRIES ARE
ON THE INCREASE

The Tonopah-Manhattan Promo
ton committee met. last night and
Secretary Force reported that the
number of inquiries was increasing,
and that they were coming in from
all parts of the country. Letson Bal
liet reported that he had recently re-
turned from Manhattan, and that the
country was looking more progress
sive than ever. He said that the
Lemon mill was rapidly approaching
the state where it would be in con-
dition to take great deal of the ore
from the leasers. He said also that
the machinery for the Chapman
Davis mill was on the ground, and
that the third mill would soon be
ready to start.
1t was suggested that as the pur-
pose of the committee had been ac-
complished, that it would not be nee
essary to have meetings each week,
and that the meetings hereafter be
confined to the executive committee.
No action was taken on the matter,
but there probably will be later on.

CAUSES A STRIKE

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. RE
fusing to stand for a reduction of %
cents in their daily wage, 1900 la
borers engaged in laying conduits
for the Home Telephone company in
this city went out on a strike yes
terday. The action upon the part of
the laborers followed the announce
ment that the daily wages of all
would be reduced from $3.50 a day
to $2.25.
AS a result of this strike, work on
the telephone conduits north and
south of Market was brought to a
standstill and other men to replace
those out on strike will have to be
brought to the city before operations
can be resumed.
