THE GEORGIA SEER'S PROPHECY
(WaShington POSt1

wv dSuluSLOu HOSC.J
Georgia's prophet of pessimism and
erstwhile Populist standard bearer,
Thomas E. Watson has had a critical
attack of rhetoric. 1t is real hot stuff,
some of it so torrid that he has we'll
nigh exhausted the italic and cap
cases in emphasizing the high lights
Of his philippe. 1t does not take so
very much to arouse the language of
the Hon. Tom of Georgia, whose clas-
sic tongue is constantly set upon
hair-trigger delivery, but it is seldom
that his cracker Pegasus reaches such
heights as it has recently achieved.
In the speech delivered by Secretary
Dickinson at Gettysburg he declared
that the South was better off today
than it would have been had the Con-
federacy won it's lost cause" The
general unanimity with which this
sentiment has been echoed through
out the South gets on Toms corns
and crunches hard, and he lets loose
upon the Secretary such delicate
shafts of wit as these: "Pluperfect
bosh! Sickening servility! The
quintessence of apostasy! The high
water mark of trucking self-abase-
ment and lick-log propitiation!" In
such stirring explosives does Tom
register his dissent and declares
himself a rebel
But this was to be expected. and
perhaps it is just as fitting that he
should be the spokesman of the I'M
reconciled. The Georgia jeremiah
should not be robbed of his lamenta-
lions. The real CONFUSION of the
English language occurs, however.
when Tom drops into prophecy. Tom
says-and who is better qualified for
the mantle of Elijah ?-that the day
will come when this indestructible
Union of indestructible states will go
to smash, and out of the ensuing
choas will spring four new common
wealth-the South, the North, the
West, and one other, whose boundaries
are still Watson's carefully guarded
secret. 1T will come some day." he
says in that oracular way of his,
"and this hemisphere will be all the
happier for it." The seer has spoken.
But Mr. Watson is altogether too
conservative-that always has been
his weakness. He is too timid to
chase a bright idea into its nest in
a logical conclusion. Perhaps his
language gives out before he gets
there. Why only four new repub
lies? If there would be greater hap
piness in four, why not push the plan
to perfect ecstacy in the creation of

NEGRO EDUCATION AND SUI.
FRAGE.
macon Telegraph.)

Judge Harris Dickson, of Tennessee,
has a timely and able article in the
current Hampton's Magazine dealing
with education and suffrage in the
South. After describing conditions
during and Immediately following re-
construction, he summarizes the va
rious methods incorporated in the
state constitutions to regulate and
control the suffrage, especially of the
ignorant negroes. Judge Dickson
concludes that 1.-The education and
poll tax clauses have been the main
factor in excluding the negro from
political supremacy. The grand
father clause in Alabama, the 'ex-
soldier clause in Virginia and the
understanding clause in Mississippi
were all intended to enfranchise GER
tain classes of whites, so inconsider-
able in number as to be without rel
alive Importance"
Since the white people of the South
have again come into full control of
their state and municipal affairs there
is no doubt that they will exert every
legitimate means to retain it. Money
can always be secured to pay poll
taxes if that is necessary to qualify
as electors. But how long will the
present plan of an educational test
hold good? Commenting on Judge
Dickson's article, the New Orleans
Picayune says:
For the present the great body of
the negro population is DISTINGUISHED
by constitutional methods, but will it
remain so? The Southern states are
spending every year increasingly large
amounts of money to educate whites
and blacks, and Northern capitalists
are bequeathing money for the educa-
ton of the negroes.
I'm every Southern state there are
congressional districts, counties and
communities where the negroes are in
large majority, and if they could vote
they could elect representatives in
Congress and local officials. In the
states of South Carolina and Missis-
sippi the negro population largely
preponderates over the white, and if
the negroes should vote they could
elect all the state officers.
I'm the face of this state of things
the outcry seems to be general that
every negro through the operation of
compulsory laws shall be taught to
read, and whenever a majority shall
be able to read that majority will

GOODBYE, PEACH-BASKET HAT.
Baltimore Sum-

The "peach-basket" hat is dead
The fashion bellies of Parisare tolling
and it is being borne to it's last rest
ing place in the discard where are
buried the Merry Widow" and the
sheath skirt. They tell us further
more that many of the myriads of
rats" "puffs," rolls" and all kinds
of false hair fixtures will be laid to
rest in the near future and women
will once more appear somewhat in
the form in which she was created.
Full many a pretty face has been
blooming unseen beneath the peach
basket. Many a smiling countenance
has been buried in it's depths 1t was
a monstrous mass of straw, fruits
vegetables and other funny things
Paris must have invented it as a joke
and laughed in it's sleeve when the
women of the world took it seriously
Mere man could Sc in it no element
of beauty, no line of grace and moth
| ing on earth to commend it, But lovely
women bore the burden without g
murmur
Better be dead than out of fash
iOn," seems to be the motto of many
of the ladies. For whatever the fash
| iOn-makers decree, the women adopt
| Theirs not to question why; theirs but
to go and buy. They bought the Mer-
ry Widows by the acre, and in time
learned to sail them around like ex-
perts; to tack, jibe and navigate
them in any wind. When the peach
basket was brought forth the ladies
dived in and even convinced them
selves that there was something beau
tiful in the queer monstrosities they
were required to carry around on
their heads.
Now, having had their little joke on
the women of the world the creators
of fashion have prepared a new exhi-
bition. According to advices from
the center of interest, they have de-
creed that all the hats now in use or
heretofore bought and paid for must
! be discarded. They have changed the
fashion so completely that papa will
have the privilege of buying head
gear for all the family the coming
season. The edict has gone forth
Next season the turban and the
toque'-not the dainty gentle little
hat the men would like to see, but a
huge creation that will stand a foot
and half high and will make the
wearer look as martial as a Russion
drum-major. The fur hat itself runs
up a story or two and the toWer-and-
minaret effect is added by an aigrette
whatever that may be-that sticks
up like young tree. 1t is not stated
whether the prices will be as high as
the aigrettes, but after his expert
ences with the Merry Widow" and
the "peach-basket" father fears the
worst.

Georgia, Delaware, Rhode Island, and
Wyoming could have their own ma
vies, leased or rented, their own ar
mics, and foreign relations. The
state boundaries would bristle with
Notifications and custom houses, and
it would cost more to get from New
York to Atlanta than it would to
cross the ocean. 1t is a glorious
scheme, this vision that the Georgia
seer has seen, but perhaps, the more
the pity, Mr.. Hartman will not let
us put it into execution Immediately.

CURRENT COMMENT


vote. Only the older persons now liv-
ing remember or seem to care for the
horrors of negro domination, while
the younger generation seems either
to desire universal negro suffrage, or
is too ignorant or too Indifferent as
to what it would bring about, to real
ize or oppose its horrors.
The movement for universal negro
education and negro suffrage and con-
sequent negro domination is being
engineered and furthered by white
men who realize the enormous politi-
cal influence they might exert if they
could secure leadership and control
of it. That the negroes of the next
generation who will never have been
under political or other control are
going to be vastly more aggressive
than were the freed slaves who did
| the dominating under white leaders
! in the days of reconstruction can be
accepted with very little questioning .
AS has been frequently pointed out
by the Telegraph, compulsory edu-
cation law will have no effect upon
the negro children; they will avoid
work and attend school without the
incentive so often necessary in the
case of white children. The negro
knows only too well that in education
lies the secret of political power in
the South, and he will never lack the
means of securing the requisite edu-
Ication so long as long pursed and
short-sighted philanthropists can be
found in the North to indulge his de-
sires.

Tangling me up in their silken hair.
