A VILE DRINK.

The Chattapooga Times has been inf quiring intota 4brand sof booze called "nigger whiskey," the specimen being the product of Kentucky distillcry. To make it they take what they call neutral spirits" which is not whiskey. and by keeping 1t ten days or two weeks in a charred wooden barrel 1t whiskey and is sold as such. The dis tiller stated that one can get an ample glass of it for five cents.' The Times says of it:
 Hore we have the explanation of much of the violence and bloodshed wherein the negro is the chief sufferer Who is responsible? The negro or the white man? Do we not, while claiming to pc superior race. tolerate a system that supplies a poison to the negro. con. verting him into a demon and then kill him for being demon? What else are we to expect when, we sanctions the business that brings the awh:tA man and the negro crazed with potations of neu- tral spirits from charred barrels and armed with ready guns into con3unc- tion. but the condition described as ex> isting in number of southern locali.. ties. This "nigger whiskey' is the stun sold at the dives and low dens in this and other cities. and. if we are to en- joy immunity from riots, murders. lynchings and criminal assaults, we wil have to stop it's sale not only to negroes but to the whites.
 While there is no doubt that an ex- cessive use of any kind of liaour may cause trouble and disorder. especially among those who are predisposed to misbehavior. it must be plain that drinking freely of such vile stuff as this "nigger whiskey" must be. cam not fail to have an evil effect. The price at which 1t can be sold is an in- ducement to the negroes to buy and drink it and each swallow adds to the spirit of evil that is always existing in many of them. As long as the gov ernment allows such stuff to be. made and sold some people will drink it and the evil that it does is evidenced by the record of crime all over the com munfty. But is there any law to pre- vent the manufacture or sale of the pol Son?

KEEP TT OUT.

TherA was 8 proposition some years ago for the government to appropriate as much money in certain States for public schools, as the same states appropriated for the same purpose out of their own resources. At that time there had been no recovery from theseffects of the late war, and it was peculiarly a hardship upon the white Southern people, to take the mon ey they furnished for schools and use half of the meagre sum for schools for people who contributed not dollar
 what was known as the Blair bill was supported by great many South ern Congressmen, but it was finally defeated and no movement in that dir ection has since been made.
 We do not agree with the idea that 1t is now a proper thing to ask the Fed erai Government for aid for our schools. It might have been twenty five years ago, but we do not believe that 1t is so now.
 1ne appropriation of money to the States by the government would natur- ally mean laws and regulations for the expenditure Of that money. and that again would mean that the federal au- thorities would designte the manner in which the schools should be conduct cd. Ahe San Francisco embroglio. was but shadow compared to what would be seen in all Southern States under governmental supervision. If any Con- gressman is anxious to assist the Southern States in the education of their children, let him begin by re- moving the tariff burdens and leaving us more money to expend in our own way and through our own channels.

easy to say that we don't believe in the alleged invention, but why should we? So many wonderful inventions and discoveries have, crowded on each other within,a an ordinary lifetime that 1t has become unsafe to doubt any
 thing. When human ingenuity has made machines that can talk, sing and play on musical instruments, why should not a machine be made that will tell where water is to be found un- der the surface of the earth7 We do not know that this invention Is more wonderful than some others, and though we have some of the Missouri spirit about us with regard to this thing we are not going to assert that it Is humbug, lest the proof put us to shame. And by the way, the inventor should send one Of his machines over to our sister city of Columbus. They are suffering for water over there, iS

What's This About. Union Springs Herald.
Al Fev Inntaneen,

Truly the halycyon days of union- ism are over. No more dominating, no more overriding the laws and terrify, ing the people; just plain peaceable strikes hereafter, and they are always legitimate if nearly always unwise and
 few suggestive instances are wind- ing up the old year. The members of the locomotive firemens union, to tho numser of several src hTndreS n Ss strusk as on not for higher wages or lower hours. but because they had a quarrel with some other union. The roads are run- ming about as usual, and the firemen have simply struck themselves out of good jobs. We hope they feel better for their untonism.
 In recent press dispatches were two references, one to a strike in the coal mines near Owensboro, Ky, which has been pending for the past year, The the company are compelled to keep guards to protect their. mines, the strikers doing nothing but fill up on booze and attacking eovertly the min got 1t in the. neck Christmas night when they attacked the guards, three of them being killed and several to have been at work, earning the high wages miners now receive, supporting their families in comfort. almost lux ing booze. They will never go back into those mines as union men.
 The other instance was the statement that 4.000 printers still on a strike for an eight hour working day. receiving from their national union each S2 50 with which to buy Christmas turkey. Now these printers, If they had been at work and all of them could have been at work. would have earned since they have been on strike (January 1, 19Ot, and some even longer than thatJ. over $4.0O0,o00 In wages. In the face of such earnings what is the beggarly $10,- % paid for turkies or the miserable stipend, the fruit of others toll, that enables them to eke out a precarious existence; 4,000 workers or with their dependents 10000 people, 4,o00 able bodied men, living off the charity or bequests of their fellow workmen; a miserable. hand-to-mouth existence, eating the scant bread of dependence having not a cent to put aside for the morrow. nar for the dependent ones, nor for the rainy days that may come. How much could have been saved or put aside out of the $4,000.000 if they had kept at work and not have idled away their time.
