THE SOUTH
AND THE NEGRO.


The Philadelphia Enquirer gets pref
Nv close to the truth when 1t says;
The Southern white people-the best
of them-are no longer putting any
thing in the path of development OF the
negro, He is the necessary element in
almost all of the Southern industries.
The better trained farmer and me-
chanic gets the best chance, and the
negro is now taking advantage OF his
opportunities as never before me
race problem is a long ways from set
tlement, but that feature of the prop
iem which calls for thrift, economy
and intelligantly-directed industry is
making progress more rapidly than
would have been supposed only ten
years ago. The white people of the
South are to be praised for their
change of attitude, which will contin-
ue just in proportion as it is accept

FROM NEBRASKA.

The Louisville Times calls attention
:. 80 fact that the Nebraska senate
has passed the Humphreys bill anu

berger will sign it; it has already re-
ce,ved the approval of the House.
This is the bill which gives TO the

err mysterious stranger to bear COIN
pany to Gov. Chamberlain, It's mrs.
irving out was last fall at which tune
candidates for Legislature and Senate
were asked to reply, among others, to
two leading questions. Would they
n,edoe themselves to respect the popU
lar choice and vote, regardless OF par
Nv affiliation, for the peoples nominee
for United States Senator, nominee
at that time unknown; or, falling that
would they agree to abide by the Will
of the irrespective parties. Categorical
answers having been given for the
most part, the election proceeded; 1t
resplted In a substantial Republican
victory. but at the same time Gov
Chamberlain, Democrat, was declar-
ed the popular choice and is today one
of Oregon's Senators; he will so re-
main in spite of the efforts of the Re
publican leaders, not unnaturally
asbast at so unusual a demonstration
in favor of a good man.
And now comes Nebraska to adopt
this innovation. Two years hence or
thereabouts, confronted with the prob
lem of declaring their choice for Unit
ed States Senator, is there not good
reason for believing that Nebraskans
win honor themselves by honorins

The lumber manufacturers of Mis-
sissippi are working strenously against
the repeal of that section of the tariff
which protects lumber with duty of
50 per thousand feet. 1t is doubt
full whether they would make money
milling if the duty was taken off, and
they have the same right to protection
that other commodities enjoy. The
Texan is against free wool and hides,
the Alabama mining towns want
protection on the output of their
mines and blast furnaces, and Louis
lana demands that the tariff on sug-
ar to be let alone. 1t is the same old
cry all along the line, the producers
and manufacturers wanting tariff du-
ties in their own lines of business
and people not directly interested de-
string free trade competition. Gen
eral Hancock said: "the tariff is large
ly a local question:" and it seems to

A RUSSIAN NOBLEMAN's
Story of Siberian Exile and Escape
Told by the Russian Reforrner,
Alexander M. Lochwitzky

Count Alexander Lochwitzky ad-
dressed large audience at Trinity
Church on his experiences in Russia
and Siberia, this being the second
number in the Trinity Club course. He
speaks fluent and accurate English,
slight accent marking his careful
enunciation. Count Lochwitzky spoke
for more than two hours, and so in
tensely interesting was his story, so
vivid his manner, that none of the
audience wearied. The grim story was
enlivened with touches of gay humor
quite of the American sort, and soften
ed by words of fervent faith in God,
for this Russian exile is neither an
ATHEIST, nihilist nor socialist. Every
one who heard Count Lochwitzky felt
a fresh throbbing of gratitude for free
dom, for life in a land of liberty
