August 27. iM MWI THE HEQR0E3 KICKING- There is in the Washington Post of Saturday an interesting article on the political situation in the South, growing out of the attempt of white Republican leaders to ignore the ne gro and eliminate him from the party to build up a white Republi can party. The recent action of the Republican State Committee of Ala bama practically excludes negroes from acting as delegates in the State convention which meets at Birming ham on the 16th of September. The leading negroes of the Stata, and those of the white leaders who are opposed to ignoring the negroes, hare entered their protest against this and declare that if this rule be enforced they will call another con vention and pat a separate ticket in the field. A similar threat is made in Mis souri, where the negroes say they have not received the recognition they are entitled to. They propose to organize, nominate a ticket of their own, and, while they do not expect to elect it, they claim that they hold the balance of power and can teach the white Republicans a lesson, if they can't do any more. Speaking of the conditions in other States and in .North Carolina, the writer in the Post says: t In8o'ith Carolina, Florida, and some other Southern States, negroes have been made postmasters with the consequent result of much friction be tween them and the white patrons of the postoffice. In North Carolina,, however, these trouble have been avoided, Senator Prltchard having been very conservative in his recogni tion of the colored people for such noiitions. It is due to this fact that recant! v the negroes of Warren conn tr held a meeting, at which Mr. Pritchard was denounced in severe terms for his attitude, and it is quite likelvthat if any attempt is made ignore them, because they have been been disfranchised, they will follow the lead of their brethren in Ala The negroes in this State have caught on pretty well to Senator Pritchard's game, to how he has been turning the cold shoulder to them with the hope of drawing white men into the party and making it respectable: He didn't show his hand in this quite as early as Hon. Thomas Settle and other leading Republicans did who supported the constitutional amendment and gave that as one of the reasons for doing so, namely, that it would result in practically eliminating the negro from politics, and give the Republi can party a chance to secure some wmte recruits who wouldn't go into it while it recognizes the ne gro. Me didn't show his hand as early as those Republicans did, for he opposed the amendment, opposed it in the East because it would dis franchise the illiterate negro and in the West because it wonld disfran chise the illiterate white man who did not come under the saving grand father clause. Bat while he was doing that and since he has been throwing cold water on the "ward of the nation" who gave the Repub lican party of this State all the vic tories it ever won, and has been freezing him out whenever he could do it on the sly. He has passed tne word along the line, and as a consequence very few negroes ap pear in county conventions where the white Republicans are numer ous enough to concrol them. A few weeks ago a convention was held in one of the Western counties (Swain we think) and a few days ago in Guilford, a central county, in both of which resolutions were pass ed denouncing the disfranchising of illiterate white men and white men who had failed to pay their poll tax, but didn't have a word to say about disfranchising negroes who have heretofore constituted about three fourths of their party. They have so far ignored the negro as to avoid naming him in their platforms. No wonder the negroes are kicking at thus throwing them off in the hope of inducing white jnen to join the party and give it some "respecta bility." The action of the Warren county convention, to which reference is made in the above extract, is simply following the suggestions of a cir cular sent out a month - or so ago calling on the negroes and other Republicans who are opposed to the Pritchard and revenue ring rule to organize to defeat his re-election to the Senate. The Warren county negroes are the first to respond, and they did it in the resolutions which denounced him as a Jndas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold run into one. Wo published those reso lutions as edifying reading. The Raleigh circular, while talk ing for the negroes, was doubtless inspired by some white Republicans who do not recognize the claims of Jeter C. Pritchard to hold on to his soft snap and continue to be the Bpolls distributer for this State, the only thing which has given him any hold on the party. But the negroes are beginning to learn now what they might have learned years ago if they were will ing to learn anything, and that ia that the leaders of the Republican party, North and South, have no more use for the negro as a political associate than the colored brother has forji disembowelled watermelon. For some vears they have looked upon the negro as a dead weight and hence they have been trying ynf. tA nt him where there is the slightest hope securing white emits. They profess to believe, whether they really believe it or not, that there is some prospect of doing this now since the negro has ceased to be the distracting element he had been before the adoption of qualified suffrage. There are still about 40 000 negro voters in this State, and if they should resent this lg noring business as the ne groes of Alabama and Mis souri do, where would the Republi can party, with Pritchard at its head and its white recruits bringing up the rear, find itself on the day of election? The votes it would get would make a count necessary only as a formality to comply with the law. That's about what manager Pritch ard thinks, for in talking with the newflDaner reporters he does not say that the Republicans wil carry the State at the next election. but if they have a fair and free dis cnssion of the issues he has no doubt they will. This little if is the saving word on which he hinges his hopes and virtually confesses that ho expects to be soundly lam basted. ARMOUR DISCREDITS SHAW. Several days ago the Secretary of the Treasury, Shaw, in a speech in Vermont, practically defended the Beef Trust by advancing the Trust's reasons for the higher price of meats when he said it was caused by a scarcity of animals for slaughter, especially of cattle. He went fur ther and said that lowering the tariff wouldn't do the people any good because the Beef Trust, with its large capital, would control the buying markets and individual I buyers, or independent companies without equally as large capital could not compete with it. He also denied that the tariff fosters trusts. If he had been a paid advo cate of the Beef Trust he could hardly have shown more earnestness in vindicating it from the charge of extortion. Shortly after that speech was de livered Mr. J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago, one of the big magnates of the Beef Trust, arrived in New York from Europe, and was inter viewed by a representative of the Herald, which thus editorially refers to the interview: The members of the Beef Trust are usually very careful in regard to what they say for publication, especially in these da j s, when the public and they are in open war oyer the Trust's mer ciless increase of the price or meat to the rich and poor alike. But now and then truth will out, and even a guard ed Beef Trust magnate will make i slip of the tongue and state facts as they are. Mr. J. Ogden Armour, of the Beef Trust, in an interview the other day with a Herald reporter admitted that it was impossible to combine the meat interests in Europe or for the Trust to control those market, for the reason that South American cattle, of which thre is an unlimited supply, and which are not kept out of Europe by a barbed wire tarm fence such as ourr. make a European beef trust impossi ble. Exactly; condemned out of their own mouths. If the tariff were low ered here the result would be exactly tne same a beer, trust, as Mr. Armour unwittingly admitted, would be im possible, and, while the handful of Trust magnates, would suffer in their welJ filled pocket, the public at large would have an abundant supply of this necessary of life, an even the poor 1 J 1 1 . . uuau cumu again Know won it is Ml have a plenty of meat on his table. This Beef Trust does a business of about $600,000,000 a year with profits of about 1100,000,000 a year. It may have bought fewer animals for slaughter last year than the year before which gave it the excuse it wanted to raise prices, showing its receipts of animals as proof of scarcity. But,- on the contrary, cattle men say the packers could have gotten all the cattle they wanted. Assuming there was a scarcity why should the tariff be kept up on cattle, and other animals for slaugh ter, and on meats when it is posi tively asserted by the packers that the home market does not sup ply enough? This isn't a case where the "foreigner pays the tax," as every one who buys meat has dis covered. But the point in the editorial we quote is the admission by Mr. Ar mour that no import tax on cattle in Europe prevents the organization of trusts or controlling the meat market by combinations, as is done in this country. This admission completely discredits Secretary Shaw when he says the tariff doesn't help the Beef Trust. In the Guilford County Republican Convention held last Saturday, there were 81 white delegates and not one negro. The colored brother was frozen clean out. It passed a resolution condemning the constitutional amendment, in so far aa it disfranchised white men who failed to pay their poll tax,but never. mentioned the colored brother who lost his vote for the same reason.

The coal strike in Pennsylvania has long ago ceased to be a State affair, or a dispute between mine owners and miners, for it has be come a matter in which the public is even more interested than either the mine owners or the miners. Anthracite is now quoted in North ern cities at 110 a ton, and in some cases at $12.50 with the indications that it will go still higher if the strike continues, and it probably will if the strike were ended to day. From the fact that there has been no appeal to the courts by either side to arbitrate has led to the belief there is no arbitration law in Penn svlvania. but it seems there is and i one that was framed to apply es pecially to disputes between mine onar&tors and miners, although it . covers all labor disputes. It provides hat in case of dispute either or both parties may apply to the ' Cdurt of Common Pleas to name a board of arbitrators. When the application is jointly made the conrt may or may not appoint aboard according to its discretion. In the event that only one party apply the conrt must- serve notice on each to select three men, within ten days after notice, to act as arbitrators. In case one of the parties refuse or neglect to select the three men the conrt will appoint six men to act jointly with the three chosen, and there will act as a board. It further provides that their decision shall be "final and concln sive," and they are instructed to "duly execute their decision." This law has not been appealed to in this strike because the mine operators did not want to arbitrate, and the supposition is that the miners have no confidence in the courts, and for the further reason that the law does not provide any way by which the board can "duly execute its de cision." It is a board without power and hence the law, if for no other reason, is a dead letter. Perhaps this strike has taught a lesson showing the necessity of some law to protect the people from such strikes. Twelve dollar and a half coal ought to be a pretty convinc ing argument.

St Louis Globe-Democrat. A Story of Lincoln. It was a frequent custom of Lin coln's to carry his children on his shoulders, says The Literary Digest. He rarely went down street that he did not have one of his younger boys mounted on his shoulder, while an other hung to the tail of his long coat. The antics of the boys with their father and the species of tyranny they exercised over him are still the subjects of talk in Springfield. Roland Diller, who was a neighbor of Mr. Lincoln, was called to the door one day by hearing a great noise of chil dren, and there was Mr Lincoln strid ing by with the boys, both of whom were wailing aloud.

Planters Advised to Hold Tbelr Product for Higher Prices. Special Star Telegram. New York, Aug. 26. The weekly government; report upon the cotton crop, issued to-day, indicates, in my opinion, the most serious -situation which-has confronted the trade since 1896. The situation is intensified by the fact that a month ago every one, bujbbii mciuaeo, was expecting a large crop and an abundant supply of cot ton, A large crop now seems abso lutely out of the question, while an exceedingly small crop is quite within the range of possibili ties. The world's supply of Amer ican cotton, risible and invisi ble, is less, with one exception, than it has been at any time since the American war, and in the case of the exception above referred to cotton went to 11 cents a pound in New STorjj I feel justified, therefore, Inf express ing tne opinion that a further and very substantial advance in cotton is inevitable and may be confidently an ticipated, and Southern holders and producers can, I think, without trou ble realize at least nine cents a pound for their production, - provided they are not precipitate in accepting pres ent prices.

The cotton market opened strong with prices ten points higher on heavy general buy ing in which shorts led. thouerh Wall street and a European demand was by no means light. The cause for this further sharp rise was a bullish con struction of private and public Liver pool cables and of the "night mes sage" crop reports from the belt as a whole. While there was a slight reaction after the call the general rul ing of the market was very firm. Promptly at noon the weekly government report began to come over the wires and indicated one of the most unfavorable crop conditions of recent years. The report gave scarcely a State free from pronounced deterioration, while as for Texas it was stated that even with fa vorable climatic conditions during the balanceof the season the yield could only be an average one. Rust, shed ding, lack of moisture, excessive heat, insect ravages and lack of fruit were complained of in many important dis- tnew, un ine wnoie, the report struck the room as being radically bullish, and prices advanced with a bound. For the balance of the day the market was strong and very active with prices hovering around a level N of 8.27 for January. At the top notch Wall street interests appeared to be selling March as if to hedge themselves against their enormous holdings of January. The market closed firm and net five to sixteen points higher. To tal sales estimated at 600,000 bales, for about equal to the tremendous busi ness or yesterday. New York, Aug. 26.
