One of the resorts in (Which Wash

money.

years of negro rule cost the South more
III dollars and cents than the enormous
expenses of the war, added to the money
value of 100000 of liberated slaves.
This takes into account only the obvious
items of the increased public debt, ignor-
ing the stupendous amount of private
rillage. This statement has been denied,
end the truth can never be accurately
known.
The fact is, unquestioned and beyond
all doubt, that a wardesolated country
in a time of profound peace and abject
poverty, suffered from every imaginable
form OF thievcry and peculation. Mil
lions of acres of the best plantation
lands were sold for taxes and their
owners turned adrift. Many rich plan
tations did not raise enough cotton to
pay their taxes In theory the lands
were not confscatcd; in fact they were.
After Lincoln's death the state govern
ments of the South were summarily
elected and military despotism erected
in their stead. With this the South had
no quarrel. 1t was a natural, logical
sequence of war.
All the wealth, intelligence and white
blood of the South was set aside, al
lowed no voice in working out its own
destiny. This. too might we'll be deemed
necessity of war.
In the maelstrom of changes the negro
suddenly found himself possessed of the
privilege of the ballot, to which the
white man had struggled upward inch
by inch for many centuries. 1t was thrust
into the negro's uncomprehending palm.
Without tutelage, without preparation,
ignorant and superstitious, he was pushed
forward upon stage where the bravest
had faltered and the wisest been in
doubt. What wonder is it that he mis-
used the most sacred responsibility OF
humankind?
The black inundation that swept over
the South bore with it a horde of ad-
venturers and renegades-creatures who
represented nothing at home; they would
have been reckoned crows Of i'll repute
in any flock. From the North they
came with all their worldly possessions
in a arpet-bag-and men called them
"carpet-baggcrs." A few Southern
"scalawags," joined them.
Southern people did not understand
what is now plain to them, that the
carpet-baggers were rarely men who COM
nanded any SORT of respect at home:
They were mostly men who had eluded
army service-bounty jumpers and specu-
lators in human misery. If honest men,
North and South, had understood, the
veil of doubt and distrust would long
ago have been torn away. But they did
not understand; they could not UNDER

ing their credulous souls with evil wills
perings. They eurried favor with re
groes by disgusting personal familiari-
ties, preaching social equality and VIC
lence. They kept Dining it into the
negro's head that he was net the equal
of, but superior to, his old master, BE-
cause he had power and the old master
lad not. No negro on earth can stand
that sort of talk. It bred uncounted
outrages. The nights were seasons of
terror, and even In Daylight women dared
not walk abroad. The negro learned
the exceptional crime, that being among
the unspeakable lessons these white
6ends taught him. -,
The active process Of reconstruction
began under the act of Congress of
March q, 1867. BY this act conventions
were called in oil the seeded states
to establish constitutions for new civil

governments loyal to the union. Various
conventions came into being-called
BLACK and Tan Conventions" because
of the yellow negroes and black negroes
who formed great proportion OF their
members. By these conventions constr
tutions for the Southern states were
adopted, under which it was destined that
the long battle for white supremacy
should ultimately be fought.
One notable paragraph in the Missis-
sippi Constitution of 1869 declared that
every man and woman then living to-
gether as man and wife should be held
to be legally married. This was for the
emancipated slaves, and is the greatest
wedding ceremony in recorded history.
1t was such big wedding all at once
that many negroes have considered it suf-
ficient for all time.
The result of these new constitutions
was practically the same in the various
states. They intended, as far as pos
sible, to strip the white man Of all po-
litical power, and place that power in
the hands of the negroes so as to make
it easy for alien adventures to get
and hold Office.
This carpet-bag-negro-scalawag system
built up a most remarkable electorate.
and subsequently brought about state
of affairs impossible of comprehension
to men who did not live in the South.
The negro vote was used by unscrupu-
lous adventures to put themselves in
office. Their sole purpose was to plum
der the country, in which they had no

stand, and there were many partisans
who did not want to understand.
Every white man who had in any way
affiliated with the fallen fortunes of the
confederacy was disfranchised. He had
to stand aside while the carpet-bagger
massed the negroes at the polls. These
evil-doers went amongst the blacks, fill

The nation, through its Congress, set
the example of DISTINGUISHING the negro.
State by state, almost the entire South
has followed that precedent: The reasons
of the states were identical with those
of the National Government, but their
methods were different.
It has been asserted that these eight

Face Powder, and All Other Cosmetics

The complaint that powder rubs off

a little extra care in the application
OF this first aid to beauty.
We hear so much about the injuri-
Gus effects Of cosmetics that the wom-

box with fear and trembling. There
is no need for this parsimony in the
use Of what is, in fact. protection
and supplement to a good, clear,
healthy skin. This is only true. how
ever, when absolutely fresh powder is
used, and when all traces of 1t are re-
moved upon retiring at night. Pow
der grows stale, and when stale has
an irritating rather than a soothing
effect. Pure rice powder, kept in a
closed box with a sachet bag, or a
stick of orris root, is fragrant and
harmless.
Dry skins easily shed powder For
this reason it is better to use a
foundation Of a teaspoonful of glycer-
me to half pint of rose water. Apply
the lotion and dry on quickly. then
see that the powder is evenly dis
tributed
Liquid powders, when pure are
strongly recommended for some skins.
Under the evening lights they give a
velvet transparency to the skin, be-
sides which they have the advantage
OF not rubbing of easily. Extreme
care should be used in their applica-
ton TO see that no white patches
show. as viii be the case if carelessly
applied a good liquid powder is made
