FAILURE OF NEGROPHOBlA
AS A COMMERCIAL
ASSET.

The Atlanta News, which was
charged with being the foremo st in
citing influence in the Atlanta race
riots OF last September, has now been
forced to acknowledge Insolvency,
and it's fate is considered by many
of it contemporaries an example OF
what may be expected BY any paper
which appeals to race prejudice or
inflamcd public opinion Tor it's sup
aort. Othets, however, more Chart
ably ascribe the failure of The News
to the lack of room i'll Atlanta for
three successful afternoon papers.
Since the establishment OF The
Georgian by Mr.. John Temple
Graves, some months ago, says the
Charleston News and Courier, it
has been recognized that either The
News or The Georgian, would be
crowded out of the Atlanta field.
Mr. Graves himself recognized this,
as he acknowledges i'll his paper:
I'VE have buildted with all our might
from the earliest issue to make The
Georgian so good and clean and
great news paper that its merits
would sur vive Ill competition Aside
from this stat .ment the comment OF
The Georgian, as also of The Jour
nal of the sa me city, is very per-
functory and carefully studied APP
parenty to avoid further wounding
a fallen rival.
The rest OF the press, however,
commonly attribute the failure OF
the News to the desire of Atlanta to
administer to it rebuke for its in
hammatory policy, Says the Charles
ton Post, for instance
The News was held largely re-
sponsible for the outbreak against the
negros which occurred in Atlanta last
summer. and it has boldly advocated
and approved lynchine and urged the
organization of Ku Klux clans. The
News offered reward of $1,000 to
any one who could prove that he had
put to death a negro rapist and also
undertook to maintain a pack of
bloodhounds and a posse to hunt
down criminal negros on call The
attitude of the paper alienated the
sympathy of those who had given it
countentance and support, and its
business has dwindled away until it
has been forced to confess bank
ruptcy.'
The New York World reminds us
that the grand jury which invest-
gated the September riots condemned
this paper and limited at the indict-
ment of persons responsible for its
policy. Then" continues The

I'VE doubt il some of the noiscst

the South represent that section any
more fairly than the Atlanta News,
with its rewards for murder, repre-
scented IT. Every Southern state has
two Senators in the United States
Senate, and we hear of only one
Southern Senator making appeals to
unrcason similar to those of The
News. He boasts of a desire to lead
lynching-partics. and meodramatic-
ally curses the law. We hear more
of him, of course, than of any other
Southern Senators, but is he typical?
Does he represent truly the scnti-
ment of his section? Perhaps, III
the proportion in which he is to the
rest of the Southern Senator's. Every
Southern State has governor, and
we hear Of two OF them uttering the
same dcmogogic appeals to race
passion that The News misconccived
as good business. We dare say
their names are the only names OF
Southern governors that would occur
readily to the mind of the average
Northern newspaper reader. In the
Northern mind they stand, we regret
to say, too much for the South But
do they represent the South any more
than the Atlanta News represented
the South? Tillmanism and Varda-
manism put on paper and tried as a
newspaper policy fails. In politics,
personally exemplfied, it succeeds,
but we wonder how far it succeeds
despite its self, despite its misrep-
resentation of the real feeling OF the
South. and because of certain other
qualities of mind and heart by which
IT'S opponents appeal to the Southern
public. The failure of The News
should clear up certain misapprehen-
Sions regarding the South for which
some of the South's chosen spokes-
men are largely responsible. Liter

HOW THE PoPE's PHYSICIAN
EXPLAINED SPIRIrUALISM.

That spiritualistic phenomena prove
to lis the existence of hierarchy of
immaterial beings of a higher rank
than man and endowed with physical
strength superior to his, is the theory
cnunciated by DR.. Lapponi, the late
physician to the Pope. While the
phenomena of Spiritualism have at
last obtained recognition from
number of scientists and theologians,
the cause and origin of such mani
festations are subjects of much dis.

articles in La Revue iParis) in which
he describes what he has witnessed
at many seances. While a firm be-
lever in the commences and au
chemically of such manifestations, he
hitherto has hesitated to PROFOUND
any explanatory theory. In the Lib
erte (Paris) further contribution to
this question is made by Etienne
Chasles, who states the views of the
late physician to the Pope. DR.. Lap
poni's views, as this writer remarks,
are peculiarly interesting from the fact
that he was a devout Catholic, as well
as being in intimate relations with
the Supreme Pontiff AS Mr. Chasles
observes, "inasmich as the church
at Rome considers spiritualistc pho
nomena to be merely demoniacal
manifestations, it is of necessity very
rarely that an active Catholic med
dies with the controversies that are
raging around the subject of Spiritu-
alism." Mr. Chasles continue as fol-

istic phenomena and declares that
science is compelled to acknowledge
them as not only superior, but even
absolutely contrary, to the most gen.
eral and most familiar laws of bio
logical, physical, or physiological
science, and that they are of a super
natural order Spirituaism teaches
us, as plainly as we could desire, the
reality of that supernatural world of
which ratonalism and materialism

nerve to prove the non-eXistence. 1t

Spiritualism, when in its faircst and
noblest form it makes part of re-
ligion, are among the first to ac-
knowledge its claims when it mani
tests itself in its basest and most alb
jet form under the direction of an
ordinary medium"
DR.. Lapponi next considers what
are the causes of genuine spirituals
tic phenomena. He postulates the
existence of super-human beings, in
visible as air or gases, which stand.
in an ascending scale of power and
dignity, between the nature of man
and the absolute perfection of God.
He says:
when we consider the eNcrtion of
intelligence, of will, of love, or hate
which is manifested in many spiritual
istic demonstrations, there really is
nothing illogical in opining that inn
material. beings are the operating
agents. | mean that these demonstra-
tions are not caused by fluid or
dynamic emanation issuing from the
body of the medium, now assuming
a material and visible, now an invis-
ible, form Nor do they result from
the intervention OF forces as yet I'M
known, natural altho occult, superior
and perhaps contrary to the natural
forces known to It's. They are caused
by the entrance upon the scene of
veritable spirits. Our reason does
not recoil from the thought, which
philosophy permits us to entertain,
that, in the graduated series of Great
ed beings, there arc beings to be
found of higher rank than man, and
endowed with physical strength SUI
perior to his. These form a line of
ascending perfection. hierarchy
which, as it extends upward, becomes
more and more perfected, until it ends
in Being of absolute perfection, the
most intelligent, the most powerful
OF all, the origin, cause, and end of all
things To these beings we attribute,
in Our poor, human method of ex-
preston, the title OF spirits, as tho
we wished to compare them to air or
gases, because, like the air they elude
the apprehension of our sense of
sight. "-Translations made for The
