II believe the movement away from
political solidity has started and ought
to be encouraged and think one way
to encourage it is to have the south
understand that the attitude of the
north and the Republican party to-
ward it is not of hostility or opposi-
ton politically or otherwise, that they
believe in the maintenance of the fif-
teenth amendment but that as already
explained they do not deem that
amendment to be inconsistent with
the south's obtaining and maintain
ing what it regards as its political
safety from domination of an ignor-
ant electorate; that the north is for
closer association with the south that
it's citizens deprecate that reserve on
the subject of politics which so long
has been maintained in the otherwise
delightful social relations between
southerners and northerners as they
are more and more frequently thrown
together.
I'VE believe the solution of the race
question in the south is largely a mat
ter of industrial and thorough
the south in order that it may have
proDer labor Their ancestors were
brought here against their will. They
have no country but this. They know
no flag but ours. They wish to live
under it and are willing to die for it.
They are Americans. The proposition
to increase the supply of labor in the
south by emigration from Europe, it
seems to me, instead of being inimical
to the cause of the negro will aid
him. If industries of the south con-
tinue to grow in the marvellous ratio
already shown the demand for labor
must increase.
primary and Industrial education
for the masses. higher education for
the leaders of the negro race for their
professional men, their clergymen,
their physicians, their lawyers and
their teachers, will make up a sys-
under which their improvement which
statistics show to have been most
noteworthy in the last forty years,
will continue at the same rate.
'The recent election has made it
probable that 1 shall become more or

NO POSTAL BANKS.
Chances of the Passage of Bill Are
Very Small.

Washington, Dec. 8-A thorny path
confronts the postal savings bank bill
in spite of the fact that its passage is
advocated in the Republican national
platform. When Senator Carter Sc
cured a special order to take I'D this
measure on December IA it is said he
had pledges of sufficient votes to pass
the bill in the senate. The situation
Il is doubtful whether Senator Carter
can rally anywhere near the required
number. In fact. it is stated that he
Will fall short a dozen votes on the
Republican side. Investigations con-
Quoted abroad by members of the ma
tlonal monetary commission are largely
responsible for this change of senti-
ment in regard to the establishment
of postal savings bank. Several
members are now on record in favor
of the government keeping out of the
bank business rather than engaging
in this new policy.
Chairman AIdrich is ready to take
positive stand against the passage of
the bill and will have the support of a
large number of senators because of
the opposition of small bankers
throughout the country. They urge
that the state and savings banks are
necessary to communities.
The position is taken further that
these small banks in many instances
will be driven out of business by the
postal banks.
In view of the opposition the pros
pect is that no vote will be obtained on
the postal saving bank bill on Deem
Der A or on any day in the immediate
future. If Senator Carter should be
able to bring the bill to vote the
chance of its passage is small.

induce a hard man to deal with to
take out a policy on his house. After
listening to him for an hour while be
painted In vivid colors the extreme
danger OF fire consuming the house the
hard man to deal with said:
do you really think 1t likely that
my house will burn down within the
time that the policy will run?'
Certainly" replied the agent. Have
not been trying all this time to con-

with, why is your company SO anx-

for a moment; then he drew the other
apart into an unfrequented place and
whispered In his ear:

dark secret. Years ago the company
disgraced me before my sweetheart.

ed myself into its service for revenge,
and as there is a heaven above US
will have its hearts bloodw
