THEY LIKE THEHAT A DI8
. TAHCB.
; : A short while ago a number of ne
.gro laborers were brought from the
' South, by contractors, to do some
work in the city of Philadelphia.
- Why they were bronght, whether it
was because the kind of labor for
which they were brought was scarce,
or too high-priced, we do not know,
but it seems not to have been on ac
count of it scarcity, for one of the
Bepublican-papers, the Press, which
ns opposed to the city administra
tion, calls attention to the importa
. tion and reminds the negro voters in
-the city that this is the way the city
' administration shows its apprecia
tion o! the loyalty with which the
Philadelphia negroes have stood by
the ring in the elections. When it
had an opportunity to show its ap
preciation of this loyalty by giving
them work, instead of doing that it
'gave the contracts to its own men
who imported these negroes from
the South. It apparently sympa
thizes with the Philadelphia negroes,
for whom it speaks thus:
"What is feared most by the color
ed people of the city is that those who
have been brought here will not re-
turn home when their work is finish
ed. -Is is said that colored labor is al
ready a drug on the market here and
that hundreds are out of work. The
work that is now being done at the fil
ter plants does not require more than
- ordinary ability; it does not call for
killed laborers, and almost any col
ored man out of work could do it, and
taai is one or ine reasons tne importa
tions have caused anger."
Bringing tb ese negroes into Phila
delphia to take work 'away from
negroes who had gone there before,
that is assuming that they wanted
to work, was in the estimation of
this Republican organ outrageous,
and now what they ar& afraid of, ac
cording to this organ, is that when
they finish the job for which they
were imported they will like Phila
delphia well enough to remain there,
and will not see the propriety of
bundling up their traps and making
a bee line back to IJixie. The Phil
adelphia darkeys, if the Press
speaks for them instead of for others
seem to have a notion that they by
Apriority of residence have a pre
emption claim on work in that town,
provided they want to work, and can
spare time from crap shooting to do
work.
The probabilities are that there
was a surplus of labor in Philadel
phia when the negroes who are now
expressing their apprehensions that
these last importations may remain,
moved into the town. This last in
flux may add to the surplus, but
why should not this latest impor
tation have as much right to squat
in the town as the first did? Being
American citizens, the equal before
the law with all other citizens, as
these Republican organs hold, why
should not these imported negroes
from the South have the same right
to locate in Philadelphia as anyone
else, and why should they be expect
ed to pull out and go back South
after they finish the job for which
they were hired? These new .im
portations may not be a very desir
able addition to the population but
they are doubtless about as good as
those wjio preceded them and will
prove quite as reliable Republican
voters, provided the price of votes is
not run high enough to overcome
their party or faction loyalty. If
the Pre faction is watchful and
makes a judicious use of some of
that "reform'? fund that is ' said to
have been raised, it can doubtless
capture the bulk of them, in which
eirent the Press would be willing to
have them remain in Philadelphia,
although the original contingent of
darkeys might object.
These negroes fared better, how
ever; than imported negro laborers
have in some other localities, foi
theV Were not mnhhftrt.'rinr nTinf tiAtV

battered with clubs, although some
of the remarks made by the Press
were calculated to incite to violence.
We can very well understand why
the Press or any other paper in
Philadelphia should look with dis
favor upon bringing in more negroes
' . for there are already too many in
- that city, where the topic of discus
7 , sion in the papers for seme time has
been how to check the influx, and
; persuade some of those already there
to migrate to other parts.
; ; But this is not a condition pecu
i liar to Philadelphia, for it exists in
- all the Northern towns where the
negroes have located in consider
able numbers. , There isn't a town
' in the North where they are wanted
7 or would be welcomed and' they
. have ho use for them in the rural
' regions, - for up there the white
. . laborers employed on the farms are
-generally taken into the household
and eat and sleep in the homes of
their employers. Of course this
.would not - be the case with negro
farm hands and for. that reason if
tot no other they; are not wanted.
It would be .'too " much' trouble and
expense to house -. and 'feed them
"separately,; and hence; very few ; of
' them are or" ever will beiound on
'Northern or Western - farms even if
they sought! that" kind of :. employ--.
raent, which they do not fof they
: prefer to remain in and hang around
tha town although not . employed
tilt the, timet ;;;-;' -
jfone of -these organs are ehc6uf
aging the Southern negroes to come
up there to escape the "discrimina
tion and persecution'? they are subject
ed to in the"South; but they show an
eiceeuingiy large amount of interest
in the negro; who has been deprived
of a ballot in the South and in those
who are threatened with a loss of
suffrage. : rom the interest they
seem to take in the negro of the
South it might be inferred that they
like him very much, and they do
at a distance, when, in the language
of the Press, he is at "home," in
Dixie. '
STTis
The NewlTork 5i tells of a man
who cured himself of. smokjng cigar
ettes by sucking alead pencil; and
the Mobile Reaister tells of a fellow
who cured. himself of chewing to
bacco by chewing a block of wood.
The probabilities are that this New
York man is sucking himself full of
plumbago and red paint. We heard
of a man who cured himself of the
the tobacco chewing habit by chew
ing wood. When he died, at the pre
mature age of 96 years, he had con
sumed about sixteen cords of wood
and had enough in him to start a
match factory if it, hadn't been
chewed too fine.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg
published yesterday, announces that
Mongolia is now Russian territory,
that forts had been built and garri
soned by Cossacks and that surveys
were being made for a branch rail
road to connect the Trans-Siberian
road with Pekin.
This means that while this and
other governments are talking about
"the openKdoor"in China, Russia
is going on and opening the door for
herself and securing it by taking
possession of the territory and guard
ing it with her soldiers.
This is a matter of no little im
portance to us fn as much as we look
to China, I and to Northern China
especially, as a market for our cotton
goods. Russia is simply planning
and arranging to pre-empt that
market and get the advantage
of any other nation that may seek
to establish trade there. If she
manufactured but little cotton this
might not" be a serious matter, but
she is becoming a great cotton man-
facturer and is 'making rapid pro
gress in that industry, not only in
the manufacture of cotton but in
the production of it. Although she
has figured as a cotton manufacturer
and grower but a few years she now
has 207 mills, over 6,000,000 spin
dles, 145,842 looms and employs
220,000 operatives. In four years
she has increased her production of
cotton nearly fifty per cent, and at
this rate will in a few years more be
fully able to supply the demands of
her mills, which continue to in
crease. It isn't England or Germany, but
Russia that our cotton manufactur
ers seeking trade in China will have
to compete with and Russia will be
a very formidable competitor.
Some of the truck growers in the
Pacific States have improvised a way
of supplying the public with "new
potatoes" three or four weeks ahead
of the usual time. They plant a crop
so that the potatoes will be about
half grown by fall. Then they dig
them, bank them up in the earth
and leave them till wanted in the
spring. They take them out, wash
them, immerse them in a solution
of water and boracic acid, which
cracks and curls the skin. Then they
are washed in clear water, dried in
the Bun, sorted and sent to the mar
ket and sold for "new potatoes."
CURRENT COMMENT
Great as is the port of New
Orleans, it is a pigmy to what will
come to it when the Isthmian canal
is built and the proper pass, at the
mouth of the Mississippi jettied.
In that day, New York will have to
look to its commercial laurels.
Augusta Chroniele, Dem.
After all that is said of the
THX
CIVIL GOVEBlTMEffT
FIZZLE.
The civil governments established
with such a grand flourish in some
of the Philippine islands have fizzled
out already. The announcement is
made that in three of the provinces
the people have proved "undeserv
ing of civil administration," and
therefore military rule has been re
established. This dissipates the
beautiful illusion that these people
were hankering for American rule
and tumbling over each other in the
rush to salute the StarB and Stripes,
and become good Americans.
We are further informed that the
insurrectionary feeling is strong in
some of these provinces, and that a
number of towns are besieged, and
everything is topsy-turvy. And that
is about the size of the pacification,
and the progress in civil government
as far as they have gone, and that is
about what we may expect for some
time to come.
These people will recognize the
American flag and American author
ity when there is sufficient force
available to compel them to do it,
but when this is not the case they
will run things their own way and
consider the American who comes
within their reach ligitimate game
to be shot at.

The Alabama Constitutional
Convention has agreed on a provis

in his custody to be lynched, to in

to be in earnest. This is the first really

yet adopted in any State. Louis

About a year ago Camile
Flamanon, the French scientist, af
ter a study of the spots on the sun,
predicted that the earth was about
to enter a period of five years, the
summers of which would be the hot
test in history, lie was laughed at
by other scientists, but the intense
heat of last summer and the phe
nomenal records alreadyre ported this
summer from various parts of the
United States and from Europe are
calculated to gain for his prediction
a somewhat more respectful consid
eration. Macon Telegraph, Dem.
KinstonrJprcfl Press: We
sbircely know how to figure on cops.
Borne farmers report tobacco and cot
ton both almost rained by the recent
heavy rains, -while others report great
improvement in crops. -
Winston Sentinel'. Mr. I, 0.
Shore of Yadkin county, reports that
the rains in his section the past few
days did a vast amount -of damage.
Nearly every mill dam was broken.
Mr. 8b ore says it was a regular cloud
burst last Sunday afternoon.
Wilson News'. The fruit crop in
this section is far superior to the crop
in the central portion of the State, al
though there is -no complaint from any
section. Already home-grown pears,
peaches, plums, apples and other fruit
have been placed on the market. The
crop js said to be an excellent one.
Washington Progress: Mr.
Will Howard, who has recently re
turned from Hyde says that the wind
and rain storm did considerable dam
age to crops and fruit trees in that
county. Cora is badly blown down
and the damage is variously estimated
from a third to a fourth' of a crop.
Wadesboro Messenger-Intelli
gencer: As a result of an examination
of Mr. N. L. Hightower's still, in Gul
ledge township, made Saturday, by
revenue officers, Deputy Collector J.
D. Albright, of Charlotte, came down
yesterday and closed the still, and con
fiscated all tke property, to the use of
the Government, used in running it.
Besides two stills and other parapher
nalia, five barrels of whiskey were
seized. . .
Rocky Mount Motor: A farmer
friend tells us that worms are playing
havoc with tobacco in his section. The
scarcity of hands prevents the destruc
tion of the pests. - Unless the pres
ent rainy spell does a great deal of
damage (and it has done some, no
doubt) to the cotton crop, after all said
tolerably good crops will be made this
year. Tobacco is reported as not being
much, but it so happens that not a
very large crop was planted. Cotton
will, unless present rains continue too
lone, be near an average. Corn is said
to be doing welL
Southport Standard: From
what we learn of the condition of
crops in the county from persons who
have been to town this week and also
from our correspondents, it appears
that the prospect is very poor. A
prominent farmer from Town Creek
said on Saturday last, that he -would
be willing to give his prospect cotton
crop for what he had spent on the
crop to date, including guano and
labor, that for the money spent he
would give his present prospect. It
appears . that the corn crop in lower
Brunswick is not damaged so much
as in the eastern part. The more re
cent rains will damsge it only in the
lowlands. The crop has been hurt by
high winds during the past month. In
the upper part of the county the corn
crop is cut off decidely The cotton
crop has suffered the county over, and
is doubtless cut off one-half. There yet
remains a chance for the peanut crop,
which is considerable in Brunswick.
Taking all in consideration, the pros
pect is indeed gloomy.

No lesson that the nineteenth century
.taught us is more directly impressive than
its exhibition of the unused resources
which it brought into use. 'Its inventions
end discoveries multiplied man's power
over nature by taking hold of common
things and familiar facts and putting
them to use. Chemical and dynamical
agencies at the close of the century were
rendering service to the race in every di
rection, although at its opening they were
useless through our ignorance or contempt,
for them.
A "parallel fact was the great increase
of woman's activity during the past cen
tury. At its beginning the stage was al
most the only career open to a woman of
distinguished abilities. Even literature
was practically closed through the com
mon contempt for "bluestockings." Monk
Lewis, who himself had perpetrated some
of the worst novels in the language, wrote
to his mother on hearing that she had a
novel in hand: "I cannot express to you
la language sufficiently strong how disa
greeable and painful my sensations would
be if you were to publish any work of any
kind and thus hold yourself out as an ob
ject of newspaper animadversion and con
tempt. I always consider a female author
as a sort of half man." And "the little
cock sparrow," as Mrs. Oliphant calls
him, spoko tho feelings of his generation.

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Horning 'star.
New York, July 19. Jxwer prices
were recorded in the market to-day,
though weakness was not so much a
feature as during yesterday's session.
New Orleans selling was a potent fac
tor of depression. The early English
cables were a disappointment, not
only displaying full response to our
decline of last night but showing pro
nounced , weakness throughout the
list, under heavy Southern sell
ing and unconfirmed reports of
hard rains over Northern and
Central Texas. Tke market here
opened easy and off three to six points,
this being a better showing than ex
pected on the cable news. 4s the of
ficial weather reports did not auhetan.
tiate the private rain reports there was
a sharp rally all along the line at 10:30
o'clock. Europe stiffened up and sent
rair sizea raying orders here while
Wall street and . commercial houses
bought with a fair amount of confi
dence. But before midday a weather
forecast promising threatening con
ditions over Oklahoma and In
dian Territory, as well as in
Eastern Texas to-morrow led to a de
cline. The Atlantic States were shown
to be still flooded with rains and more
wet weather was forecasted for to
night and tomorrow. Crop reports
were very uniayoraoie, noting stunted
growth over the belt west of Georgia
and a backward condition from tho,
Atlantic coast to western Texas.- In
tbe last hour the market was devoid 'of
special feature, being inactive and nar
row, closing quiet i and. steady with
privRD uei two io six points lower.
