How can it be claimed that a treaty IS made
in pursuance of the Constitution, when It IN
vades the reserved rights Of "a State! 10
regulate her own domestic affairs, prescribe the
qualifications of voters, and adopt whatever
police regulations-not inconsistent with
powers granted the Federal Governments
the inherent sovereign right of each State
The Supreme Court of the United States
recentlv decided that the State OF Kentucky
could legally exclude negro children from the
white schools and colleges. If Kentucky can
discriminate against the blacks, why cannot
California draw the line against the brown and
yellow men?
COULD THE PRESIDENT MAKE A
TREATY WITH LIBERIA, OR WITH
ABYSSINIA, WHICH WOULD DEPRIVE
KENTUCKY OF HER RIGHT TO SHUT
BLACK PEOPLE OUT OF THE WHITE
SCHOOLS? Such contention would be abb
surd
Yet the effort of the President to prevent
California from closing her white schools to
the laps and the Chinese, is parallel case.
We trust that the Pacific States will stand
firmly for their Constitutional right to regulate
their own local affairs treaties or no treaties.

As To CYDnr.

As 10 CYNm.
Our dear Democratic dervishes are once
more beginning to spin around, howl and froth
at the mouth because a negro by the name OF
Crum has been reappointed Custom House
boss at Charleston, South Carolina To any
one who is familiar with the record of negro
appointments by Uncle Sam, the bowls and
whirls of the dear Democratic dervshes is
vastly amusing.
If you will search the record you will find
that the dear Democrats have no objection to
niger in office, SO long as he is their niger.
If Coon honestly calls himself Republican,
his appointment churns up the bile throughout
the Democratic system; but if he plays hypo
critic, and calls himself a Democrat, his well
come to the pie-counter partakes of all the
JUNCTION of Southern hospitality.
AS to the Custom Houses in Georgia, they
go to the negroes by prescrptive title. Whether
the port of entry" be at Savannah, where
there is glimpse of the rolling wave or in
Atlanta near the mountains, it's a Coon that
bosses the port In Savannah they have full
rig of black officials, from the chief of the
House and the Surveyor of the Port down
to the antor and cuspidor cleaner. A dupli-
cate Of the Savannah outfit is found in the
Custom House in Atlanta Think Of paying
niger to SURVEY THE PORT" in At
lanta! where there isn't any water.
Have the Georgia Senators ever made fight
on these denominations?
Has any earnest effort been directed to doing
away with the costly farce of full custom
house staff in a hll-town like Atlanta?
Neither the Georgia Senators nor the Con-
gress man from the Atlanta district have ever
attempted to GUST the Coons and replace them
with white men.
When Cleveland was President, he appointed
negro named Taylor as Our Minister to Hon
duras, a white South American State. He i'm
ported from Albany, N. Y, negro named
Matthew'S and gave him one of the latest
Offices in the District of Columbia AS Recorder
of Deeds, Matthews was boss Of all the white
women and men, who did the clerical work
which he, in lordly manner, superintendent.
A white man had applied for the position, and
this white a competent lawyer resi-
dent of the District of Columbia, who had the
endorsement of the white people of the District.
Moreover, he was rock-ribbed Democrat. But
Cleveland rode rough-shod over the people OF
Washington City, and appointed New York
niger Recorder of Deeds,-a place which paid
upwards of $4,000 per year.
Did the dear Democratic dervishes howl and
whrl over these Cleveland appointments
Did you hear single yell when Cleveland in
vited old Fred Douglass and his white wife tc
the Cleveland wedding reception? Did you
hear any screams of agony when Cleveland
signed the bill which broke up the separate
schools in New York City and threw the mig
ger children in the schools with the whites?
Indeed, you did not. When Democratic
President divides patronage with the Coons, i

Whaf Tennessee Ought To DO.

The outlaws of Reelfoot lake have been con-
victed and sentenced to die They kidnapped
and murdered a man. and the same Book
which says Thou shalt not kill says also,
"Whoso sheddeth mans blood by man shall his
blood be shed"
Yes,-they must be punished, but their origi-
nal cause of quarrel was just
In 1871 there was CONFUSION of nature;
portion of Tennessee sunk hundreds of feet;
the waters of the Mississippi River rushed in;
and Reelfoot Lake was born. It is 40 miles
long and five miles wide. It is IFS feet deep
in some places it's depth has never been meas
ured, although headlines have been dropped 400
feet.
This Lake is full of fish. From perch and
bass up to alligator gars,-some of which are
fourteen feet long,-the waters of Reelfoot
TEEN with natural food. Fed with spawn and
small fish by the yearly overflow of the Mis-
sissippi, the Lake cannot be "hshed out" The
natural food supply is inexhaustible.
FORTY YEARS AGO THE STATE OF
TENNESSEE GRANTED THIS MAGNIFI-
CENT PUBLIC BLESSING TO A PR.
VATE SPECTATOR! Almost for nothing
was decided away to a Mr.. Galloway, piece
of property worth untold millions of dollars.
From that time, there has been trouble along
the shores of the Lake The people who lived
ANll
been done them For generations they had
fshed the Lake. In no mean degree, it con-
trlbuted to their support. They made no at
tempt to keep others from using it, but when
the private spectators forbade them to use it,
at all, they were furious
Wasn't this natural?
What would happen in Florida, if a negligent
or corrupt Legislature should allow a bill
slipped through, granting Lake Okechobee,
to Flagler, or Smith, or Brown? What would
happen in Georgia, if private parties, armed
with an Act of the Legislature, should attempt
to make the natives quit fishing in the Chatta-
hoochee, the Flint or the St. Mary's?
Let us put ourselves in the place of these
Reelfoot people. From generation to genera
ton they enjoy certain privileges in body of
deep water which belongs to the State, to the
public. AS a matter of fact and of law, Reel
foot Lake comes under the definition of "navi-
gable water" Some day a canal will connect it
with the Mississippi and its Importance will be
great.
But aside from that, the natives, having en-
Joyed the use of the Lake so long, felt toward

California, the laps, and the C0nsti-
tuition.

The white people of the Pacific Slope hate
the men whom God made brown and yellow.
For the Chinese and the Japs, Californians have
no use Other Western States are in sympa-
thy with California, and therefore we have
case of race hatred on the Pacific which is
very promising. One thing that it promises is
that the white people Of the West will come to
understand the Southern attitude toward the
negro.
The point which The Jeffersonian desires to
make now, however, is one Of constitutional
law
President Roosevelt and the Hamiltonians
generally assume that Treaty made by the
United States may legally override a State
law They assume that where the Federal
Government has entered into a Treaty with
Japan, guaranteeing equality of treatment for
the laps who are in this country, the State of
California cannot lawfully exclude them from
the Schools conhne them to a certain part of
city for business and residential purposes, deny
them the right to own realty, or discriminate
against them in any manner whatsoever.
This Contention of the Haniltonian Cen
tralists is not good law.
The reserved rights of the States cannot be
impaired by treaty. The President and the
Senate cannot, by act of Congress, take away
a particle of the sovereignty of State No
one will dispute this. How, then, can the Gov
eminent do, by treaty. what it cannot do by
act of Congress?
The States made the Federal Government;
the States made the Constitution the States
defined the powers which were conceded to
the Federation. The highest law in the land
is the Constitution; next, come treaties made
in pursuance of the Constitution.

is all right; when Republican President does
the same thing, it is all wrong.
How silly this is Why cannot the South
ern leaders come to some understanding on
this matter? If it is right for Cleveland and
Bryan to practice Social Equality, it cannot be
wrong for Mckinley and Roosevelt to do it. 1t
it is wrong for Roosevelt and Taft to favor
division of the spells with the negroes, then
the same principle should be applied to Demo
cratic Presidents.
Bryan favors mixed, schools, and he edu-
Gated his children along with the negroes.
Bryan supported negro for office in Nebraska,
against white man, and got him elected.
Bryan made his deals with the negroes in the
last campaign and, had he been elected, would
have appointed as many of them to office as
Cleveland did,
Why should we not look the facts in the
face?
The Jeffersonian thinks that Mr.. Roosevelt
did wrong to appoint Crum. We think that
the Democratic Senators ought to kill the ap-
pointment, if they can Yet, we know per-
fectly we'll that had the Presidential candidate
of these Democratic Senators been elected, HE
WOULD HAVE APPOINTED NEGROES
TO OFFICE MORE FREELY THAN
ROOSEVELT HAS DONE, and these Demo
cratic Senators would have made no kick.
Such inconsistency and hypocrisy excite our
contempt Let the Southern leaders agree
among themselves that they will oppose all
negro appointments, whether made by Repub-
lican Or Democrat.
The fact that the Crum appointment CAN
be opposed, is one of the proofs of the danger
of Bryan's candidacy last year. The deal
which he and Henry Watterson had made with
the negro leaders, would have compelled
Bryan to appoint Crums by the dozen, AND
THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WOULD
HAVE BEEN AS HELPLESS AS THEY
WERE UNDER THE CLEVELAND AID
MINISTRATION.

ROUNDING OUT
BINGHAM DEAL
An important Consolidation
viii Be Effected During the
Next Few Weeks.

Next Saturday the Bingham Central
and Bingham Standard Mining cOmpa-
MES are to hold special meetings for
ithe purpose Of changing their respective
articles of Incorporation and bylaws
50 as TO make them cover the require
ments Of the deal that has Deen madt
Ior the consolidation with the Bingham
Metal company As soon as these meet
ings are out of the way other meetings
VIII be called to ratify the terms of the
zeal, and by the first week in next
month it is expected the whole business
Will have been cleaned up and the I'M
mense estates in the Bingram camp of
these companies will be turned over 70
a corporation being formed for the pur
chase of buying all the ground owned
by them.
Strong eastern talent is identified with
the big merger TO an extent that all the
disadvantages under which the diff
terent companies involved are now
operating viii be wiped out and the
proposition viii be one of the best
nnanced in the camp. The deal Is one
that has been under way for a gOOd
while, and it is declared that the de-
tails have been worked out so nicely
that there is not the remOtesJ chance
ior failure in any particular. The basis
will be announced when the proper time
comes, and that it will be considered
equitable and just all around is con-
ceded by those who understand that
feature of the proposition.
The advantages that VIII accrue from
the closing of this transaction are too
numerous to explain in this item, but
the chiefest is probably that secured
through having long, deep avenue
well advanced from the Middle canyon
side of the camp in the direction of the
Bingham Central and Standard posses
sions. an avenue that viii permit OF
mining in these properties at a depth of
something like LOO feet below the chief
tunnel levels in Bingham Central
standard territory, as they exist today.
II IS going to require only about 1000
feet of work to bring this deep avenue
right into the heart of the ore making
ground and give an all-the-y ear-rOund
outlet for the ores at a point not re-
mote from the point at which the great
smelling works Of the International
company are now under construction.
While the Bingham Metal tunnel is
being advanced the development of the
properties on this side of the divide will
continue with increased vigor and
while ores are being taken out and
shipped, reserves will be built up
through the opening of new deep levels
in the mines all the way down to the
main tunnel This line of development
win be all worked out in season. so that
the advantages Of a short haul to the
International works may be secured by
the time that smelter is ready to re
ceive ore.
It will be possible for other mines to
avail themselves Of the chance 90 Sc
cure an outlet for their products at the
same time and thus make the tunnel
scheme a most valuable one for all con-
ceTned.

In progress for two large settling reser-

water over an indefinite number of times.
When the fourth unit commences op-
erations the reverberatory and converter
will be inca pable of handling the entire
output OF concentrates, and pending the
completion OF the new reverbera tory and

trates Will be stored in dumps. IL is Gus

handled The number of men on the pay

BIG DIVIDENDS
JUST ABOUT DUE
Silver King Books Close on the
20th-TintiC Mines to Make
Good Showing.

As no change was made in the pro-
gram at the regular monthly meeting
OF the directors Of the Silver King Goa
ition Mines company yesterday. books

dend Of l5c d share, aggregating $751;

tendent NJ. !. Daily. who is down from

family, reports that the mine is be-
having spiendidly ana that more ana
more ore is being added to the reserves
all the time, Notwithstanding the neaVy
shipments that are now being made,
Other big dividends are going to be
posted during the coming week. The
Colorado company is counted upon TO
come through with its usual SC a share,
or $4,000, the Sioux Consolidated Will
surely pay &c, and there is a bener that
the Iron Blossom company, which
passed last month, will order the pay
ment of at least sc a share when the
directors meet Thursday.
Another company which the close OBJ
servers are looking to for a goodly
chunk of bread money pretty soon is
the Mammoth. For more than a month
now the company has been shipping ore
at the rate of 100 tons a day, and as
this ore must be netting about $50 a ton.
or $500 d month. there seems to be
no reason why a distribution of &c OF
10c share should not be made. OF
course, there is the possibility of the
Grand Central company getting d Ia
vorable decision on the 2Ist of the pres
ent month, and it might be If that
should happen the company would de-
fer payments a while longer, notw1Jn-
standing the fact that the company has
ample means with which to meet any
judgment that may be brought against

What the Daly-West company may
do when the next quarterly dividend
time rolls around is problematical 1t
is able to pay more dividends If the
mana cement considers il wise; but
there is a belief that the company win
not further deplete its treasury IN this
manner pending the opening of the mine
