IU1QQSATIOS AS A SOLVES Various solutions of the race problem in the South have been sug gested, some of them practicable, others impracticable if not impos sible. As far as the problem beats upon the political status of the re spective races the Southern States are working the solution of that by the enactment of qualified suffrage laws, but that is only a temporary solution, for it will not be many years before the bulk of the negroes may become voters, provided the requirements be no more stringent than they are now. With these qualified suffrage laws, and the agi tation for popular education, which includes both races, and is engag ing more or less the attention of the people of all the Southern States, the next generation of negroes, to say the least, will be nearly ail voters, a many of them in propor tion to numbers as there will be of the whites, so that some other solu tion of the problem will in the meantime become necessary. Anything like a wholesale depor tation of the negroes to other coun tries, as has been advocated by Bishop Turner and other nesproes, and favored by some white men, or to other parts of this country, will never be, because it would require more money than could ever be raised for that purpose; but there will be emigration from year to year from Southern to Northern and Western States, hardly enough annually to attract attention or to make an impression, but in the ag gregate in the course of a decade the number would be large. This will tend to solve the problem, especially in the border States, from which the emigration will be the largest, both Northward and Southward. This has already been the case in this State and in other border States until there is a scarcity of labor, a scarcity which is becoming annually greater. If this migration kept up and poured into States that had few ne groes it would tend to solve' the question, but as much or more of it goes into States which already have a large negro population, so that the solution of the problem is really be coming a more difficult one with them while becoming an easier one for the States from which the migra tion goes. There is one factor in this solu tion which has never been as seri ously considered as it should have been or its importance as fully real ized as it should have been. That is immigration. Every white person that comes into and settles in the South contributes to the solution of the problem, which must eventually become a question of numbers. Where the white people outnumber the black it will be no difficult problem to handle. Where the black outnumber the white, or equal them In number, it will always be a problem, and sometimes a very troublesome one. As illustrating what we say the State of Louisiana presents a very striking and impressive object les son. Ten years ago the race problem was the most serious one in that State. ' The negroes outnumbered the whites, in some of the parishes so largely that they had things pretty much their own way. With qualified suffrage laws, negro emi gration and white immigration the question has been practically solved, for Louisiana. To what extent this has been the case may be inferred from the following extract from an editorial in the New Orleans Times Democrat. In 'commenting on a proposition of the Commissioner of Agriculture in reference to encour aging immigration it says: In the last few years, as every one knows, immigration in this direction ha doubled and trebled. It hat peopled the desolate prairies of Southwest Louisiana; it has built up prosperous towns and settlements along the line or the Illinois Central, and there is scarcely a portion of Louisiana but has received soma of these new set tlers. They are the very best class of colonists, mainly .white farmers manyof them coming from the North and West and they have converted Louisiana from a negro to a white State in the last ten years. But; if thk Immigration, has been large In the past decade, there is every indication that it will be far larger in the next ten years. The great re source! of Louisiana are only just beginning to be realized in other parts of the country. The State display at the Pan-American Exposition at Buf falo did Louisiana incalculable good, and we are likely to hear from it in me way oi immigration for to come.'. -. . manyjBAraJjaiaaoa We sjw hearts sirom It already, and UommjBuoner Lee declares that his bureau is almost swamped by the let ters of inquiry it receives daily. It has done more than . that, for with the aid of the qualified -suffrage laws, it has made Louisiana a per manently white State. The Com missioner of Agriculture, who seems to be a progressive and a far' seeing man, has done much to encourage white immigration, but the great and eff ective agency in that was the Illinois Central Eailroad, whose management has ; been conspic uously, sagacious and progressive and which has shown a full appre ciation of the value of white Immi gration into the territory vitrta by its lines. Years dent of that road began a systematic advertising of the attractions of that section and the inducements and op portunities it presented for indus trious people to secure desirable homes and better their condition. To aid the investment seekers and seekers for homes every year low rate tickets are put on sale from all parts of the West over the Illinois Central and its branches, wnicn ex tend over time to let those who use them look around and become well informed as to the sections they would like to locate in, before purchasing. Thus hundreds of people have been coming annu ally and since the Byatem was adopted thousands of Northern and Western people, mainly Western, have settled in the country South of the Ohio along Us lines. They have made farms, established manufactur ing enter pri8ea,built towns and,as the Times-Democrat says,every year adds to the number. They are a good, in telligent, substantial, progressive people, too; good acquisitions to any State, and especially good in States where they contribute not only to the material development, progress and prosperity, but also to the per manent solution of the race prob lem. What Louisiana has done every Southern State can do, where the State, the people and railroad man agement co-operate. COAL AHD OIL. New York is now suffering from what it considers an affliction of soft coal. It fills the city with smoke, and showers of soot fall from the elevated railroads and cover every thing below. Not being Pittsburgers and never having had much experi ence with that kind of thing, the New Yorkers are naturally in no very amiable frame of mind. But they can't help themselves for they will have to grin and bear it if they burn soft coal, and thoy will have to do that until they can get hard coal. From present indications they will have to bear it for some time, as there are no signs of the anthracite strike ending soon. The mine owners declare they will not yield, and the managers for the strikers say they can hold out indefi nitely. The result of all this will be that with the advanced cost of coal, both anthracite (when it can be had) and soft coal, and the smoke nuisance, attention is centering on oil fuel as a substitute. The use of oil as fuel is no new thing, for it is now used on many vessels, both in this country and in Europe, and is extensively used by railroads running through Texas. It is not only much cheaper, but in many other respects better than coal, even of the best quality. If there be no exaggeration in the statements as to the French process for converting the oil into blocks so that it may be handled and stored as ordinary fuel, and these blocks be anything to compare with what they are represented to be for generating heat, for cleanliness, safety, &cv there is no reason why oil should not come into general use, not only on railroads, vessels, and in factories, but also in the household. This may possibly be one of the results of the strike. THE SEVEREST KEASTTRES HEC- E8SARY. On his arrival at San Francisco Major Waller, who achieved, cele brity by converting Samar into "a howling wilderness" and summarily executing eleven Filipinos whom he suspected of treachery, talked free ly with a representative of the press. One of the first things he said was, "You can't stop the revolution: in the Philippines unless you take the severest measures." He scouted the idea that the war was ended there, and sarcastically remarked that "the war is always over when the. Filipinos surrender." When Waller says the severest measures are necessary to suppress the revolution, he is doubtless voic ing the sentiments of the soldiers, who believe that the sooner the Fili pinos are exterminated the sooner there will be peace that might be called peace the peace of the graveyard. , And they are doubtless right from their point of view, for they are talking as soldiers whose business it is to suppress resistence and bring peace. There is no poli tics nor policy in their talk, for they agree pretty generally with General Chaff&e when he characterizes the Filipinos as a treacherous, deceitful and unreliable race. There may be exceptions, a few compared with the many, but there is no doubting the tact that the people in the now hate the Americans, and if the seem friendly or disposed to accept the sitnation and acknowl edge American supremacy it is simply because they are forced to do so.. They yield as a matter of ne cessity, not of choice, and would if there were any prospect of success take up to-morrow the arms they lay down to-day.!!; , ; , The peace we win there will be a conquered peace, and it will have to be maintained by force of arms. That is the kind of "benevolent as similation" we will have. . ; " - f mi . . . . xaere are now lying on the floors of the seas 1,380 marine cables with 211,523 miles of wire. 5Thls js what Mr, Marooniaiadi,the other gen tlemen .who are working on his lines propose to dispense with. " There are some people in - Water loo, N. Y., who resent lack oi punctuality, in wedding perform ances. A few days ago a gentleman who was to be married to a lady in that town was several hours behind time, and when he arrived he was met at the depot by a couple hun dred citizens, who expressed their disapproval of his tardiness by rocking the carriage in which he drove to the house of his betrothed. Police protection was necessary to save him from violence. He was delayed by an accident to the train on which he travelled.

The Birmingham jtfews has dis covered that wliat Hobson is wres tling with is a case of compound hypermetropic astigmatism, retinal hypermia and trachoma. This is a pretty heavy load for a fellow to carry who expects to take a hand and do some running in politics, but Hobson doesn't seem to see it. CURRENT COMMENT. And speaking of orations, the Northern papers are comment ing on the fact that the best Memo rial Day address was that delivered by an ex-Conf edrate soldier at the tomb of General Grant. President Roosevelt needs to take these jour nals in had and explain to them what thev owe to his dignity. A - gusta Chronicle, Dem. The millionaire who endows colleges and establishes colleges is subjected to a great deal of chaff and is sometimes accused of self-aggrandizement. The millionaire who de votes himself to horse racing, an in stitution which mainly benefits the professional gamblers, is permitted to pass criticism. This seems hard ly fair. Washington Star, Rep. The formation of the United States Shipbuilding Trust, embrac ing companies and firms from Maine to California, which will wield a capital of $36,000,000, is another significant indication that steamship subsidy is neither expected nor de sired from Congress. Chairman Grosvenor, of the House Committee on Commerce, may as well lock up his Subsidy bill in his desk. ' Neith er tha Monran Atlantic Transporta tion Trust nor the Shipbuilding Trust is bothering about suDsiay, and the people do not want it. Philadelphia Record, Dem. One day the public is in formed that the Senate is likely to pass the Hepburn bill unamended directing the President to proceed with the Nicaragua Canal project. Another day it is said that the Panama route has the call. Then it is reported that the two Houses will disagree. Of course, all this is a part of the plan which we fore saw at the opening of Congress, to kill the whole project for another year; which is what the railroad in terests wanted, Brooklyn Citizen, Dem.

It has not rained enough to do much good for many weeks. A light shower, which barely settled the dust, temporarily refreshed vegetation Sunday after noon. The Irish potato and bead crops are likely to fail. Corn on low lands that easily retain moisture Is looking welL but that on the hills is suffering.

"Thirty years ago," says an Anglo-Indian civil engineer to a Lon don correspondent, "I traveled out to India on the same steamer as a Mrs. Lockwood Kipling. She had with her a baby girl and a boy of three. 'Buddy as she called him, was a solemn, yellow faced little chap, with a big hat and frilly round the ends of his tiny trousers. We soon Btruck up a friendship. He would walk up and down the deck with me for hours, holding on to my thumb. In after years, as you know, Kipling obtained the sub editorship of an Indian paper. I was engaged about that time in building a great railway bridge. The editor of Kipling's paper wrote to me asking permission for one of hia reporters to come and write a series of three or four articles on the sub ject of the bridge, which was one of the biggest undertakings of its time, I replied, saying that if 'Buddy cared to come he should have every privilege, but I didn't want anybody else. "Sure enough 'Buddy' came, and a great time he had. We showed him everything, and he took every thing in. His eye . for detail was wonderful. -He was like a human -camera, with a memory for names as well. Years afterward he wrote The Bridge Builders and in it he used "the information h picked up from me and my men then. It is all as accurate as possible.

Blue sky itself is but the ultimate fading out of haze, and when whole lower layers of the at mosphere are surmounted the blue 'above is bluer than before only by reason of thehaze there being more attenuated, .-The result of investi gations carried out chiefly by high Hying kites goes to show that, though at great heights the air may be-spoken 6f as dry, this is but a relative term. Commonly about one-half of the water vapor in the air is left below by the time the first mile and a half is climbed, but the actual moisture present varies with tiircumstances. Thus up to a few thousand feet the ajx is drier during winter and night and damper during summer and by day that it is near the ground. In the light of these facts it be comes easy to conceive how in cer tain conditions of moist weather .and on a dark night the light of a large town reflected in the heaven inay;be seen even at a long distance. Under the clear skies of other lands reflection may be seen on the under 4ujf ace of a cloud over great ranges. Tus he cloud heaps over thunder Etorms on the American prairies may. sometimes be seen at night on he horizon at a distance amounting to some 260 miles. Again, it will be easy to grasp the further fact that haze in the air is more "clearly manifested to the observer who, 'whether in a balloon or on a mountainside, has climbed above its lower moister levels. Here the explanation is simply that from his new point of view the haze is seen against the dark earth while being itself illuminated by the light from the sky above. Gentleman's Magazine. The 8treet Market, Cologne. This street market is a peculiarly democratic institution and one rap idly becomes friendly with the sales women or even a chance passerby, entrapped unawares and becomes a purchaser like oneself. Thrift and sturdiness are the distinguish ing characteristics of these Bhihe land peasants. They know well how to drive a bargain, but they are hon est -to a pfennig and good humored to a fault. Very interesting is their babble about the flocks and the crops, very quaint they look clad in their national costumes, and most delicious are the mountain straw berries, fresh cheese and thick cream which these clever house wives bring in from the country, especially to tempt hotel weary travelers. One eats the little lunch eon with leckerly sweet cakes in the shade of the green trees which lme the Cologne market, gazing on the tiled houses which girt it about and catching a glimpse of the cathe dral slender spire, pointing ever aloft, .rising above all, "patiently re mote' and in its superb proportion of matchless architecture, making one, as Lowell says, "own himself a happy Goth' Catholic World.

Corn went on the rampage to-day and, headed by the bull crowd that has cornered July options, led the unfortunate shorts a rapid and exciting chase. Early in the day thejword went around that the screws were to be put on the shorts long before the settling. Nerv ousness held the pit and the shorts be gan to accept the inevitable and got out of their deals with ss little loss as possible. A light hand was held on much of the corn early but soon the market ran away. The bulls' did the same to try to keep it in check and the day closed with a net gain of 31 in July corn. Other pits were neglect ed in the interest that centered around corn, and July wheat closed only a shade down and July oats a shade down. Provisions closed 2J to 74a lower. Chicago, June 17.
