But it waa not a shot-gun revolution at all, as the Tribune assumes, for guns did not figure in the change of the city government. They were used only in suppressing the turbulent black element which by "firing upon the whites made firing upon them a necessity to restore or der and to save life.

There was no nteation to drive these men out of offioe, they were informed by the committee of citizens appointed to represent the people that they were out of place, had been faithless and incompetent and obnoxious, and the sentiment of the public was that they should resign, but theie were uo threats made and no force used. It was a "revolution," but a peace able revolution, and must not be misrepresented and misunderstood by being coupled w th the shooting incidents in Brooklyn, with which it had no connection whatever, any further than that the incumbents in office may have become awed by the conditions that confronted them and and concluded that by " turning the city government over to better and more competent men order might be restored and a general race conflict be averted. This is a distinction with a differ ence which the Tribune did not catch on to arjd therefore all its remarks on this "revolution" as nullifying constitutional rights, nullifying citizenship, &c, falls to the ground, for it was not a revolution of vio lence, bat everything was done in order, in accordance with law and with the co-operation and consent of the officers who relinquished the offices they held to others more ac ceptable to the community. If armed citizens had gone, to those officers who resigned and demanded that they do so under threat of com pulsion or violence if they refused there might be some foundation for the inferences and conclusions of the Trilmie, but as this was not the case, as there was neither presence of weapon, violence or threat of vio lence the assumption upon which the Tribune's argument is based falls to the ground and the argument with it. ' It was a revolution, but a peace able revolution, the result of public sentiment to which the obnoxious city administration succumbed and went out and men whom the -awn-munity respected and in whom, they had confidence went in. That's the kind of a revolution it was, no shot gun affair, but a peaceable triumph of respectability erer worthlesstiess and incompetency. FiU.H !hiNJ(t, Nove iber 18. THE Tfi.BJSE DISCOURSES. i .Most if not all of the Bepublian papers in the North have expressed their views on the recent race con flicts in Greenwood county, Soujth Carolina, and iu this city. Some ! of their views are moderately expressed others go to an extreme, but all ire written from a sectional and parti san standpoint and are more or lss colored by sectional and partisan prejudice. The lollowing from the New York Tribune was intended, we presume, to be moderate, and Js, compared with editorials which hare appeared in other iiepublicin journals. In a leading editoria,!, after referring to the conflict be tween the white miners and the ne groes imported into the mines jat Pana, Illinois, which it contends was not a race trouble but merely a la bor trouble, it notes the conflict be tween the whites and the blacks at Phoenix S. C, and thus comments on the disturbance in this city: "But when we come to North Caro lina and the troubles over the Wil mington city government there we find not merely the senseless race feud, but the real race problem. The South Carolina disturbance was riot The North Carolina disturbance was revolution. There appears to be no doubt that the negro rule of Wil mington was bad. The neero's best friends iu the South are agreed tLat he is not yet fitted to rule well, aid do not blame the whites for desiriag to rule the t ns of which they art; the most iotlIiiT-nt and capable elrmeut with tae lart-st i itervst at stake, though they are often much outnumbered y the irresponsible and ignorant blacks, whose ait mut at government is only an opening for unscrupulous shaps Wilmington his don awywitST&s gDHru n"i!

The m j iryy rule, oe it good or bad, must be accreted Mil less w arij prepared to re trce u-ups to the more moderate repubJi-a"im of our early history, when surfraoe wis restricted with the frank purpose of keeping the G-over ment out of the hands of the irrespon sible elements of society. The humr of the situation is that.this attack dn the democratic principle should come from States which nave always as serted their superior devotion to the pure and ideal democratic philosophy. "But the situation is not one m which humor predominates. The problem is a serious one, and it has two sides, and it is made more serious by ineradicable and irrational race prejudice. But for that a solution might be found. If the people of the Southern States would frankly say that they wanted to be ruled by their best rather than their worst citizens, and proceeded to shut out from suff rage undesirable white voters on the same terms as the undesirable blacks, there would be one solution. If they would devote themselves heartily to the work of training the ignorant voters to as to secure good government from them that would be a better though la slower process. But as it is they retard than promote the advancement and reform of the most dangeroms element in their population, and legis late not against ignorance and vice for their own sake, but against them as exhibited by negroes. . In consequence revolution is the only road out of the conditon they make unendurable for themselves. Sometimes it is the peace ful revolution of unrepublican consti tution making. Sometimes it is the shotgun revolution, such as Wilming ton has just witnessed. In such out breaks the South declares that all men arenot equal.and tnat even in a republic some majorities are not fit for self government. If it would, reallly ac cept that theory and make fitness , a question or morals, intellect and re sponsibility and not a question of tint of skin, and gives itself over to secur ing the desired fitness either by traiq. ing or impartial sifting of its ' citizen ship, it might obtain good government and teach the whole country a lesson. As it is, it has no recourse but violence more or less open to protect the State against the majority of its own citi zens, and such violence is the absolute negation of republican government. This is doubtless intended to be a cool and fair statement of the caae from the Tribune's standpoint, bat the trouble is that it does not fully understand what it discusses and LILY WHITES. Several years ago there was a movement started by leading white Republicans of this State to elimi nate the negro from the Eepub lican party and organize it on t i!tr;r.t.lv white basis, as had been tried in Alabama, Georgia and some tbern States. Senator Pritchard was one of the leaders in this movement, but it fell through because it did not meet with suffi- iont. ArmnnrAcement from the vw - o white leaders, some of whom were not satisfied that they could go it alone without the aid of the negro But there has been for some years a f.nnaidorahl number of men in the Republican party, especially in the Western part of the State, who have had very little liking for the nno-ro an a Dolitical asso- ciate, and would be glad to get rid of the association at any time if thev thought it could be safely done, and could secure suffi cient co-operation from white R; publicaus in other sections- of the State to do it. Now since the po litical revolution of the 8th inst. they are beginning to talk and move on that line again, as will be seen by the following, which we clip from theAsheville Citizen: "A large number of Republicans ' this sectiou are said to have c uie t i realization of th- fact that iu th hCk element of the partv they h-v white eN phant o their bauds. Th election brougnt this fact home to th party with peculiar force. In speaking of a move to effect a permanent white organization a Republican said the party had become weary of payii g a largo number of negroes to register at every election, and then either pay ing them to vote or allowing the Dem crats to do so. and then bearing the idium of being known as the 'negro party.' The plan is to organize clubs throughout the State, similar to th JUv white' organization of Georgia "It is said by some that Senator Pritchard sanctions this move, but others deny this. Col. Lusk says he does not believe in Ishmaeliting the negroes. "A number of Republicans contem plate calling a meeting this week and -fleeting the first of the proposed or ionizations. It is not likely that Senator Pritchard will take an active part in this movement, at least openly, al though there is little doubt that he will g ve it all the aid and encour agement he can on the sly. In the meantime it may furnish some food for thought to the negroes who may now begin to understand how they are looked upon by their late white- allies and how quick these allies are to desert them when the fortunes of battle go against them.

This latter cage is in the aft of the ship, and is widely separated from the others. The women are treated with a great deal more consideration than the men. They have regular berths and are given better fare. The men sleep in canvas hammocks and re given the ordinary seamen's ration, vhlch is substantial if not elaborate. A very Interesting feature and one hor rible to contemplate is the facility with which the steam can be used upon the con victs should they attempt to take posses sion of the ship. Pipes are so arranged that were such an attempt to be made it would be possible for the officers of the vessel to scald every prisoner to death in less time than it would take to count them. Captain Dano never has had such a case arise on board his ship, but it often be comes necessary to give them a little Bteam to quell discontent. As a rule, however, the 80 guards who are regularly detailed for service on board are sufficient to keep the prisoners docile. Should an outbreak at any time occur a signal of alarm calls all hands to the mid ship section of the vessel, and then all the ladders leading to the upper deck of this section are drawn up, the lower doors bar ricaded, and the rightful commanders have a quickly improvised but a strong fort, which embraces the boiler and engine room, the arsenal and provision rooms, the officers' headquarters, the chart. and steer ing rooms, and the bridge. The convicts cannot come near enough to scale the walls or to batter down the doors on account ot the soalding steam, while from the fortress the guards and crew can shoot them as they appear. atlanta Journal. 1 7 HE WASH IN BE i ST POWDER COMMERCIAL. t i WILMINGTON MARKET.

It is rjght in making the distinction that it does between he disturbance in Greenwood coun ty, S. C, which it calls a "riotand the disturbance in this city, which It oalla a "revolution, " a distinction, SOME MORE OBJECT LESSORS. Our telegraphic columns have within the past few days furnished several more object lessons on ! the race question which have no con nection whatever with politics or elections, and in which race "preju dice" does not figure, but they all show the natural bent of the negro to contemn law either military or civil when it runs counter to his inclina tions There are negro troops now in Cuba which were sent there to guard the peace and help restore order an,d good government. A few days ' A 0 il i ago a parcy oi cnem attached a house in which were a number of peaceable people because the people resisted having their property stolen. In the attack several persons were killed, among them a woman and a child. The negro officers knew of this outrageous conduct of their men, but when the question was put to them by General Wood, in com mand at Santiago, they denied all knowledge of it, thus trying to screen the guilty. Investigation showed that they knew all about it, and took no steps to prevent it. It showed further that the negro offi cers were in the habit of drinking '. and carousing with their men, thus forfeiting the respect that subordi nates should r ave for those in com mand over them. This incident shows that the jnegro, unless under the command of white officers, can not be put in responsible positions. These troops have . become so odious that citizens of Santiago have for warded a petition to the President asking for the recall of all negro troops from Cuba. Dispatches published yesterday tell of the looting of a store at Macon, Ga., by a party of negro immunes belonging to the Tenth Regiment, their forming a line across the street to prevent assist ance, which held the street, until dispersed by a strong provost guard with fixed bayonets, which drove the riotous negroes into a lot and arrested thirty of them. These rioters were United States soldiers. The dispatches also tell of the resignation of the white officers of a Virginia negro regiment because the negroes objected to white of ficers and rendered only perfunc tory obedience, which destroyed their efficiency! as soldiers. These are incidents illustrating the tem perament of the negro, showing his tendency to resist authority and hold himself above the law. should rule if they are in hemajori y will not be entertained by the vhite people of the South, no more than it would be by the whites of the Northji-Ujerwere confronted by same suggestion.

The Democratic papers of North Carolina are turning their guns on Senator Butler, and well they may. Butler and other white men like him who are in politics for what they can get out of it, are more responsible than all the ne groes for wretched state of affairs In North Carolina. The remarkable thing about it all is that negroes will follow the lead of such men. When a whi e man cuts himself loose from his own race to lead the negro in po itics, it is prima facie evidence that he is a politician for revenue only, that he has at heart nobody s good bnt his own. let the negro permits him self to be humbugged bv such poli tical adventurers.

"I tell you, sir," said Blimms, in , his most impressive way, "a man must be as wise as a serpent in order to succeed in politics, and ho must be able to give the serpent a few points on wisdom if he bap pens to be an officeholder at the election of a rural constituency in the southwest. "I went down there to make a political career. I studied the customs of the peo ple and humored them. My clothes weren't worth f 10 a suit, my hats had a second hand look when I bought them, my shirts were not of fine linen, and I laced them at the throat instead of buttoning them. It pleased the folks. I bad a loud, deep voioe that could make the shingles rattle in any ordinary building, and I sailed rough shod into everything that my constituency did not like. "They sent me to congress. ' While I was yet on my first term they sent a delegation up to see me and it arrived without giving notice of its ooming. I was out in fine raiment and a plug hat. I saw what look ed like a lot of bushwhackers nearly a block away, but advancing upon me. I made a raoe up the stairway of a depart ment store, took the elevator down again, skipped from the building to a side street, double quicked to my boarding house and was in my home clothes when the delega tion arrived. I thought they looked askance at me, but also thought it might be that I was only indulging the natural fears f the guilty. After we had talked for a time they wanted to call again in the evening, but I pleaded an engagement with one of the members of the oabinet. Tbey finally grew restless and wanted to go home. .While I was at the cabinet of ficer's residence, I was called out to sue a party of gentlemen. I responded in my full dress suit, beard some of the most unctuous profanity I ever listened to and was informed by the leader of the delega tion that I'd 'never git ter congress ag'in as long as I lived.'

There may have been 5crnets, trombones and bass horns jn existence then, but certainly none k them was ever carried by the Marine band until after 1833. I was married that year and remember very well seeing the band parade a idgy or 80 before my marriage, and I am certain there were no horns learned by the band except bugles or trumpets.

It is somewhat interesting to compare the weights carried by elephants in the tin producing districts of the Malay peninsula with those used in the long journeys and mountainous country of the Lao states. In the peninsula the distances are seldom more than at most three or four days' march, and the ele phant is expected to carry as much as 900 or 1,000 pounds, besides bis mahout and howdah. The latter is often a mere brace of panniers slung together so as to rest one on each side of the backbone and covered sometimes with a light, barrel roof of bark. A good tusker car rying 9 hundredweight will fetch about 56, and a female which can bear eight hundredweight is worth about 45. In the Lao states, where journeys of ten days or three weeks are frequent, the average weight hardly exceeds 800 pounds, or one-third of what is usual in the peninsula. The prices in various parts of the country vary considerably. When we were on the Me Kawng and in Muang Nan in 1893, a good tusker could be had for 32 and a, female for 24. At Chieng JMai, where good teak hauling elephants are in great demand, a tusker may fetch 150 and a female anything from 50 to 100, according to her strength and ability. Geograph ical Journal When We Were All Tenon. The primitive inhabitants of Europe were all tenors ; their descendants of the present time are baritones and future generations will have semibass voices. The voioe has a tendency to deepen with age ; the tenor of 20 becomes the baritone of 28 and the bass of 36. The inferior races have higher pitched voices than the more cultured ; the negro has a higher voice than the white man. Among white races, the fair complexioned man has a higher voice than bis darker skinned brother; the former is usually a baritone or a tenor, the latter a contralto or bass. It is asserted that tenors are usually of slender build, whereas basses are stout, but there are too many exceptions to such a rule for It to be reliable. The same re mark applies to the statement thatthougbt ful men have deep toned voices and vice versa. The tones of a voioe are perceptibly high er before than after a meal, for which rea son tenors are generally careful not to sing too soon after dinner. Pearson's Weekly. WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT.

Hoarseness in a child that is subject to croup is a sure inaicanon or tne ap proach of the disease.

Troy Times. As early as 1612 the French began to advertise in a paper called the Petites Affiches, and ten years later the first bona fide attempt at printing a newspa per was made in London. Among the very earliest mercantile advertisements to appear in England was one advertis ing the sale of tea. It appeared in The Mercurius Politicas. From New Zealand Reepton, New Zealand, Nov. 23, 1898. I am very well pleased to state that since I took the agency of Chamber lain s medicines the sale has been very large, more especially of "the Cough Remedy. In two years I have sold more or this particular remedv than of all other makes for the previous five years. As to its efficacy, I have been informed by scores of persons of the good results they have received from it, and knowjts value from the use of it in my own household.; It is so nleas- ant to take that we have to place the Dottie neyona the reach of the children.

Both the spot and the future market at Liverpool dis played a steadier undertone than anticipated; private cables rrporU-d a most feverish activity in' dry goods circles abroad; parties in ' the South telegraphed that exporters and domes tic spinners were having a hard time in securing tne quantities desired of spot cotton at last prices, owing to a withdrawal of holders from the mar kets; Fall River advances indicated a growine demand Cor certain kinds of manufactured cotton goods, yesterday's-traiisaclions reach ing the unusual total of 100 000 pieces. In addition to these influences were somewhat conflicting weather reports, a smaller movement at thel ports than indicated and continued liberal export 1 mi . .1 . clearances, i ne more active months moved up two to four points on the first call, but Boon lost the c ain under selling pressure from the .South and abroad. During the balance of the early session fluctuations were very narrow and lacked particular signifl cance.

Later in the day there was a slight ral!v n-n demand from the smaller shorts, but at no time was the trading very active., Tiie close was steady at one to four points gain. New York.
