ANOTHER SOLUTION.

Ex-Governor Northen conceives
that he has discovered a satisfactory
solution of the race problem, and
like many other great discoveries, he
has contributed to one of the maya
zines, an account of his great dis
covery.
1t. occurs to THE APPEAL that
the crudite governor is very much
like many crudite mathematicians who
have discovered and cackled over the
solution of the "squaring Of the cir
c1e."
The Minneapolis Tribune, in COM
menting upon the production, re-
marks that the crux of the solution
is that the Afro-American must
crush out his social and political
aspirations and cheerfully submit to
the white mans dictation on account
of the white mans superiority. It
adds to clinch the argument that the
white man acquired his superiority
by long years of strenuous effort,
while the black man was fooling a.
round among the jungles of Africa.
SO far as the Afro-American of the
South is concerned, he is not disposed
to hold himself responsible for what
the uncivilized African was doing

POINTS FOR NEEDLE WORKERS.
Little Hints That Will Save Much
Time and Labor.

In knitting it will be found much
easier when casting on stitches, ii
using very large needles, to introduce
an ordinary steel needle in place of
the large one held in the right hand.
Use the steel needle for knitting
the stitch and pass it over the large
needle. This is to be done only when
casting on stitches.
Handkerchiefs are marked in old
English letters of very small size.
These tiny letters are often placed in
the center of a circle done in the
finest of over-and-over embroidery.
For sheer handkerchiefs use very
fine mercerfzed cotton.
By reversing shirtwaist pattern
and frightening it at Ghe narrow part
it may easily serve as pattern for a
skirt panel
Feather stitching is always dainty
finish for child's dress, but it should
be very evenly done and as small as
possible. No. 8 mercerized cotton is
best for the work
Marking cotton in that soft. cool
shade known as china is used great
deal in buttonholing and scalloping the
edges of turnover collars.

"a negro bishop of the A. NJ. E.
church has ssrared" back on his
launches and said Christ was a
Negro. Of course he doesn't under
take to prove such a silly statement,
but he said it just the same. This
is harder on the Jews than on any
other people, as Christ was a Jew Of
the seed of Abraham and Daniel
Negroes are getting to be entirely
too spry, and if they are not little
more careful somebody will take
them down button-hole or two.
White people will take considerable,
but there are some things they just
will not submit to, and such silly, ig-
norant and insulting talk as the above
is one Of the things. The A. NJ E.
church will have to elect her another
bishop if she doesn't prevail on her
present boss to keep his mouth shut. .
The tone of the article makes it al
most unnecessary to state that it ap-
peared in a strictly religious journal.
Now THE APPEAL is somewhat ac-
quainted with the bishop in question
and ventures to assert that he doesn't
scare worth continental.

Her Husband; His Wife

Mrs. Root, the wife of the secretary
of state, makes no effort to conceal her
dislike for ofhcialdom, with all that it
entails in the matter Of publicity and
promiscuous entertaining. On the other
hand, the secretary greatly enjoys the
experiences that fall to his lot and
takes a keen interest in all phases of
Washington life.
Having gladly withdrawn from the
circle when the secretary laid down the
war portfolio, Mrs. Root was CORE
spondingly chagrined when he re-
entered the cabinet; remarking to an
intimate who was commenting upon
the secretary's enthusiastic resump-
ton Of his public labors:
"Oh, Elihu loves Washington, and if
he couldn't return any other way he'd
be content to go as policeman" !

turned to Mrs. White with: :My dear,

NAN JUDGED By MS SMOKE

Considering the great and increas-
Ing population Of the United States
and taking into consideration the prev
alent cheapness Of really good quail
ties Of smoking tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes, it is not to be wondered at
that men should reveal in the habits Of
smoking their individual virtues or
frailties. To the observer who watches
person simply smoking cigarette.
cigar or pipe there are revealed nerv-
GUS tension. extravaganza, laziness.
frugallty, RIGHTEOUSNESS and hundred
other attributes. Peoples choice Of
their tobacco. pipe cleaning, lighting,
methods Of smoking, treatment Of
cigar ash, use of cigarette ends, inva-
rlably points the way in which the
wind Of disposition blows.
{! It may be safely said that there is
wide difference, as rule between
pipe smokers and cigarette smokers in
persistence and methods There are,
Of course, exceptions, and it is note
worthy in judging character by smoke
to admit that many men may employ
common method.
Take, for instance, two brilliant men
who are known to indulge in the in
veterate habit Of pipe smoking. They
light their pipes every other minute.
They use an entire box of matches to
smoke one full pipe of tobacco, and
the floors of their rooms are strewn
from end to end with wasted matches.
With these men smoking is simply a
nervous habit. Whenever they pause
in thought or speech they strike a
match-two puffs at the pipe, then the
tobacco is out again. These two men
would experience the utmost mental
discontinue should there be no occa-
sion to strike a match when the next
halt in their speech occurred and the
tobacco remained burning.
A great number of cigarette smok-
ers are of an extravagant nature, and
throw their cigarettes away when they
are half consumed.
These people are generally excitable,
and to allay their excitement must be
constantly doing something searching
for matches, rolling cigarettes, lighting
one, or admiring the red glow at the
end Of one inrtheir mouths
Most cigar smokers prove them
selves to be men Of taste and discrim-
ination. Their facial expressions tells it.
It is asserted that those who smoke
cigars with labels on are vulgar; that
"a person who displays two inches of
ash on a cigar is ostentatious; that one
who chooses a cigar sprinlzled with
light spots will credit any idle report;
and one who chews the end Of cigar
is often of an irritable nature. It is
also said that selfshness, courage,
boorishness, timidity and good temper
can be traced in a smokers demeanor.

years ago, no more than Gov North
en- is responsible for what his an
cestors were doing at about the same
time. He may concede the Superior
ity' in some respects, of the white
race as a whole, and. at the same
time be perfectly aware of the fact
that when it comes to comparing in
dividuals, the Afro-American is, in
thousands of instances vastly super
ior to the white man with whom he
comes in contact.
!. Bishop Turner. and Professor Du-
bois of Georgia are not ignorant of
the fact that they are vastly the SUI
periors, morally, intellectually and
even physically of the Atlanta MUIR
derers who were whooped up by
Hoax Smith & Co. to their deeds
of dishonesty and violence. They
know just what the Georgia "grand
father clause" proves as to the SUI
perior intelligence of the white citi-
zens of Georgia. They know that
the white race has by long effort,
produced a superior class, but also.
has vastly larger inferior mass of
hill-billies, red-necks and c1ay-eaters,
and that the Afro-American also has
his superior class and his inferior
mass. And further, they know that
Gov. Northen is accusing them of
what they know they are not guilty,
that is a desire for er-marriage
with the whites. They know that
the real object of the howl, is to
justify the jimcrow car and the grand
father clause and the lynchings and
the suppression and grading down OF
the schools for Afro-Americans
They know that the howl has "rat-
tled' the white mans church until
Satan would not admit it as one of
his synagogues.
1t will not do for Gov. Northen to
argue that the Afro-American must
crush out his social and political as
pirations on account Of his assump-
ton that the white race is superior,
as a whole, to the Afro American
( the two races as such, have never
come into collision-a11 troubles that
have existed have been between in
dividua1s.
If the superior white race should
rule over the inferior Afro-American
why should not the superior Afro
American regulate the inferior white
man?

TIRED OF TILLMAN'S TRADES,

1t is encouraging to notice this
fact that while the North which has
merely academic interest in the race
problem can afford to pay Senator
Tillman $4,000 per lecture for his
opera bouffe performances, the sane
men of the South are growing very
tired of the whole ridiculous pro-
gram. For instance, the Dallas, Tex,
News says:
1--WE suspect that the race problem,
whatever it is, is due in considerable
degree to the fetid vaporations of
demagogic politicians. In Texas we
have no "race problem;" our po1iti-
clans have found abundance of occu-
patton in other mischiefs, and while,
of course, the conditions in Mississ-
ippi, Alabama and other States of
that section are somewhat different
from those of Texas, we believe their
"race problem would be much nit
igated, if indeed it did not disappear,
if the politicians could be induced
to let it alone for year."
Any one can easily see this: The
results of the hullaballoo have been.
1. TO throw such men as Berry,
Hampton and Carmack Out of office
and thereby to influence of the South
upon national legislation.
g. To put such men as Jeff. Davis
and Vardaman in positions in which
they can do great harm to the South.
3. To send men to the southern
legislatures whose proper place would
be in the asylunis for the feeble
minded, and whose legislation is a
serious and constant menace to the
business interests of the whole
country.
4. To interfere to such an extent
with labor conditions as to- serious
ly imperil the prosperity of the South
s.. To promote the crime-wave in
the South by it's endorsement of
lynching and the unwritten law.
6. To stir tip an actual condition
of rebellion against the authority Of
the United States.
We clip the following interesting
effusion from a so-called newspaper
published in that part of heathen-
dom known as ''the South:

ions It 10 not recorded. While the
summer lasted there was little pros
pect OF diminution in extravaganza,
alike in size, color and decoration,
ana, while many of the greatest ex-
tremes are shown at present, both in
size and manner of trimming, there
are signs Of reaction to styles of. q
studied moderation and unquestiona-
bly good taste. In color there is a de-
cided tendency towards green of va
rious shades.
The nect Of many hats is spoiled by
the dressing of the hair, which fire.
quently has an inclination to allow the
deep brim at the back to drop too low
down over the shoulders. An appear
ance it would be impossible to make
more unbecoming is the back view of
a deep brimmed hat fattened against
the head, and the edge meeting a
feather boa.
Just at present it is fortunate that
there is such an admirable array of
untrimmed shapes. This should be an
encouragement to the home milliner.
A great many women who cannot de-
sign hats or methods of applying trim
ming are quick to tell at a glance
when they see hat whether or not
IT. would be becoming, and if they are
good at copying can turn out most
beautiful looking hat for compare:
lively small price.
A jaunty, smart little hat is shown
In black velvet. It is a shape that,
fitting way up as it does on the left
side. would not be becoming to, every
face, but If it did suit would be be-
witching. The crown is covered per-
fectly plain, then there is narrow
bow OF velvet ribbon, which lies fiat
against the side of the crown on the
front, and beautiful black plume
comes from under this and falls grace
fully over the top of the brim on the
left side. Bow and plume are held
In place by handsome rhinestone
buckle. II one had a plume and could
cover and make the hat it would not
cost much and would really be hand
some.

Partisan Dressmakers Said to Favor

: /. j.. = : .
Some of the new skirts for dressy
gowns have tunic effects, but rather
carried out by an upper skirt Of trim
ming than by an upper skirt Of the
material.
It is more than probable that what
will succeed the present, type Of
toilette will in some form or other be
the tunic.
Such, at any rate, is the opinion Of
many dressmakers, and were the
tunic boldly launched for dressy sort
of a winter toilette, nobody In Paris
would be taken much by surprise, 50
it is said.
Still this is more likely to be brought
out for very late rather than the
early winter, and for evening rather
than street wear.
