Jn in rtr nnini'i Chicago Chronicle There has beea a wonderful reaction in this country with relation to human rights and human equality since the days when the emancipated slaves were clothed with citizenship and given the ballot. We now govern twice as many peo ple in tne rtulippineg as tbere were blacks in America at the close of the civil war without giving a thought to the curious place which they occupy in our system. Tbirty-five years ago large majority of - the people of the northern states had no doubt that the negroes were entirely capable of self government. Many believed that they were capable of governing white men Some tbere were who were fanatical enough to believe that as matters stood at the south they were in some respects superior to the whites. It was believed at any rate, they were devoted to the Republican party and to the union Time has shown thst they are not par ticularly mindful of either. No doubt if the blacks at the south had fulfilled expectations the attitude of the government and people toward the natives of the Philippines would have been different. We accepted the Filipino as a subject rather than as an equal, because we had learned by ex perience at borne that our own blacks were not of the stuff that freemen are made of. I tie men who dominated the recon struction period and by main strengtl: elevated the negro as a race to a posi tion for which he was never fitted would be amazed, if living to-day, to see him disfranchised in many of the states where he is most numer ous without so much as making protest. Probably such a disillusionment, national in its scope, never was wit nessed arjywhere on earth before. It is not necessary to recount the hopes that were centered in the freeman by the enthusiasts who made him a citi zen. He was expected to take care of himself and of the political party which, in the face of protests and warnings, had clothed him with politi cal rights. He did neither. He did nothing for himself and little for his part y. Considering these things, it is neces sary to ask why it is that in spite of this submissiveness there has grown up all over the country, in the north as well as in the south, a hostility to the colored race which in numerous in stances denies to it the protection of the laws. We not only disfranchise the negro and in effect reduce him to the position of a subject, but when angry we treat him in some respect like a wild animal or a mad dog and in cooler moments we undertake to justify our violence by pleading exasperation and prejudice. Some of the most ferocious mob at tacks upon negroes, signifying by their fury the deep-seated and long-nourished wrath of the whites, have taken place in towns at the north where a genera tion ago the blacks were welcomed with sympathy and where fifty years ago the anti-slavery agitation had made practically the entire population strong ly predisposed in their favor. Can it be that intimate acquaintance with the race serves only .to intensify the natural antipathy of the white man and to reproduce in communities once negropbile all the wrath of the negrop- hobists ? There is much in all this for blacks as well as whites to consider with such reason and patience as they can bring to the study of the problem. One ihing is certain and that is that we are making no progress in the solution of the race question as it was bequeathed to us by the ' reconstructioniste. We have more than undone all that they in their blindness, fanaticism and vengeance attempted to do. We have not re-enslaved the negro, but we have invaded rights conferred upon him by the same authority that gave him free dom and guaranteed it. e have a subject race at home, and becaSse we have a subject race ateboml fre have lately Acquired subject races abroad which it is manifestly ur purpose to retain in subjection.

In the present temper of the people it would not be strange if the prejudice now manifested toward one race would in the course of time develop with rela tion to others. The old ideas of equal ity are held with less and less vigor in practically every walk of life. -From the highest and most favored to the humblest and most wretched there is a disprwition'To single out some element, race or class for pmsciption, I The pendulum swung loo far in tie days following ths civil war.

The service pension means a pension for services rendered during the Civil War, You may have been a tramp and received a larger salary than was ever known beforg on the pay-roll of the army; you may nave done nothing nobler than guard the hen-roosts of neighboring town; you may have lm proved in bsydth, drawn your pay, got ten elected to office on the strength of your military record, grown rich and prosperous. But if you served, and are sixty-two years old, you are entitled to a service pension. When the scheme was first broached by the Roosevelt administration, it was thought to be a little hazardous to try to pass a service pension bill. The leading papers of the Republican party set their faces against the siniquity But Roosevelt had to make himself solid with the G. A. R. at whatevc cost. So they discovered an old law that allowed a service pension for the veterans of the Mexican War, and Roosevelt, by as high-handed a proceed ing as he has yet been guilty of, which is Baying a good deal, ordered the Jaw applied to veterans of the Civil War. The fact is that the Mexican War pension bill was passed to balance things a little bit. The South won the Mexican War, and most of its veterans were in the bouth. Uf course tne Northern Veterans of the Civil War were in the North. And it was thought kind to let a little of the pension money that the South has been paying so heroically as a war indemnity from a defeated people trickle down South Now Koosevelt the lawless, reverses even the design of that small measure by adding thousands of names to the pension rolls and millions of money to taxation, in order to throw another sop to the Q. A. Li. Of course it is in defiance of the con stitution and of the law. A President was impeached for less than that. But the Republican Congress is pretty well tamed by the broncho buster. He slaps the rowels into its side, and squeals a little, as it did over the Bristow spur, but presently it goes along as the Rough Rider directs. The President has Congress not "on his hands" but "well in hand." Never Saw His Dauirli tcr lor 13 tear Charlotte Observer. Rev. C. L. Hoffman, formerly rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church here and now living in Lincolnton, tells of a strange tribute that is paid to "Big' John Heavner, a farmer who was killed a short time ago on his farm near Lin colnton, by the falling of a tree. It is declared that for thirteen years he never saw the face of his oldest (laugh ter. She was born in the night, and for thirteen years after her birth Mr Heavner pursued, each day, his habit of arising before daylight and not re turning until after dark. One night his daughter dressed carefully, sat up late and was introduced to her father, All persons who have doubts about this matter are respectfully referred to Mr. Hoffman. The manllaessj of Labor Should Impressed on the Young. Monroe Enquirer. 'The man who is ashamed to do honest work," said Rev. Dr. J. C. Rowe, "has something wrong with his head. He needs to be taken all down and put together again. No one needs to be ashamed of having walked be tween the plow handles. If there is any one occupation of man that God directly instituted it is that of farm ing." Now that is what the public schools ought to teach the children the dignity and manliness ot honest, intelligent work, however hard, however humble Teach them that education is for the purpose of making us better and more capable workers, not to help us escape fwork.

Ciik. lette against the Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad Company for injury tqa bull, which has been in all th4 young fellow will consult his father courts of Missouri since its institution over twenty years ago, came up again at Clayton. It was presented to Judge McElhinney, of the circuit court, in the form of documentary evidence, and was taken under advisement by him. Twenty-One years and one yionth ago Mr. Sublette obtained judgment in justice of the peace in Adair county for 175. The suit was brought to re cover damages to a young bull belong ing to the plaintiff, which was struck by an engine of the railroad The railroad company took an appeal to the circuit court, of Adair county, where the suit was dismissed , After the dismissal from the circuit court in 1SS3 Mr. Sublette took it to the Supreme Court of Missouri, which transferred it to the Kansas City court of appeals. This body sent the case back to the Adair county circuit court, where a new prccedurff was begun to recover the amount of judgment given by the justice of the peace court, In 1894 the case was transferred from Adair county to St. Louis county, and from Clayton it went to the St. Louis court of appeals. It was sent back for retrial on reversal of judg ment. An execution was issued, and in junction was taken out to stay the execution, which was also taken to the court of appeals, and which was sustained. A new suit was then brought on the original judgment, was mistried once and was brought back into court again by Judge McElhinney granting a new trial The matter of granting a new trial was also taken to the higher courts and sustained. This was the pro ceeding which -brought it up to Octo ber SO. The bull has long since died and many of the witnesses have passed away out of the courts. The suit was originally for $125.

He said he was a spe cialist in that branch of science, and talked for some time about the effect of man's opinions upon his personal appearance. "Why," he continued, 'I can look at a man and tell his polit ical preference. It is a very simple matter to tell a Democrat from a Re publican. Down here you are all Democrats, but though it is a hard task I can tell a man's favorite for the Presidential nomination by looking at him." ' 'Cigars for the crowd that you can t, said a bystander.

They fear I the proceedings will keep them in Washington during the summer. rnoosiNo a wife. A Man Can't Plea His iriottjrr, but He Can Pick Ills Sen's msJther. George Horace Lorrimer. I suppose I'm fanning the air whon I ask yno to be guided by my judg- ment in this matter, because while a about buying a horse he's cocksure of himself when it $pmes to picking a wife. Marriages may bit made in heaven but most engagements are made in the back parlor, with the gas so low that a fellow doesn't really get a square look at what he's hiking. While a man doesn't see much of a girl's fam ily when 'he's courting he's aptto see a good deal of it when he' housekeep ing, and while he doesn't marry his wife's father, there's nothing inthe marriage vow toprevent the old man from borrowing money from him, and you can bet if he's old Job Dashkam he'll do it. A man can't pick his own mother, but he can pick his son's mother, and when he chooses a father-in-law who plays Ihe bucket-shops he needn't be surprised if his own son plays the races. Never marry a poor girl who's een raised like a rich one. She's simply traded the virtues of the poor for the vices of the rich without going long on their good points. To marry for money or to marry without money is a crime. There's no real objection to marrying a woman with a fortune, but there is to marrying a fortune with a woman. While you are at it, there's nothing like picking out a good looking wife, because even the handsomest woman looks homely sometimes, and so you get a little variety. But a homely one can only look worse than usual. Beauty is only sain deep, out that s deep enough to satisfy any reasonable man (I want to say right here that to get any sense out of a proverb I usually fiud that I have to turn it wrong side out.) Then, too, if a fellow's bound to marry a fool (and a lot of men have to if they're going to hitch up into a well matched team), there's nothing like picking a good looking one. I believe in short engagements and long marriages. I dorl't see any sense in a fellow's sitting around on the mourner's bench with the sinners after he's really got religion. The time to size up the other side's strength is be fore the engagement. Some fellows propose to a girl before they know whether her front and her back hair match and then holler that they're stuck when they find that she's got a cork leg and a glass eye as well. NEGRO NO GOOD 1 COTTON IQI No Library Needed. When Senator "Joe" Blackburn went into the office of a celebrated law year in Kentucky to study law he was surprised by the absence of a library. 'Where's the library?" he asked. 'Now, Joe, if you want to study law don't begin by asking questions," the old lawyer told him. "There isn't any any library, You see that book. That's the statutes of Kentucky and it's all the library any lawyer needs. Don't get a library if you want to become a lawyer; it will only worry you."

Attorney-General Knox is as enthu siastic a finherniaa as any man in pub; lie life in Washington has been since Grover Cleveland left the White House. The other day he was talking fishing to a friend, who described the merits of a trout stream up in Maine, where a friend of hfs had hooked one hundred fish in a single day. "But," but added the friend "that Isn't real sport." "Well, I don't care mysfelf to catch 'em on the wholesale" plan," returned Attorney-General Knox, "but, neverthe less, when J drop a line I like to get an answer ritfht away." Washington Dispatch. ruuur ualloway manager of a cotton mill atJ.a Grange, Ga., appeared before the house committee on labor in opposition to the eight hour labor bill. Mr. Galloway gave an interesting description of the labor condition in the south and kept the committee in an almost constant roar of laughter by his many witty sallies at the expense of labor unions. The employes of the cotton mills in the south worked sixty six hours a week, and this is one of the reasons why the cotton manufacturing is being transferred from New England to the south. His mployes were perfectly well satisfied with their present condi tion, he said, and are glad to have wok enough to keep them busy eleven hours, a day. Labor unions had at tempted to break into the south, but had met with little success, and there was no demand for such legislation. Mr.. Galloway was questioned as to the negro problem. He said that few negroes were employed in the cotton mills. The droning of the machinery, together with the heated air of the work rooms, was to much for the negro, he declared. "He sits down at the loom, and in a few moments k fast asleep," he said. "Hecan not help it, it's bis nature." Mr. Galloway did not believe in the "higher education" .for the, negro, but thought his future lay iu manual train ing. His company under takes to edu cate the children of its negro workmen in sewing, cooking, farming, carpentry, etc., after the manner of Booker Wash ington. "The people of the north do not differentiate," said Mr. Galloway, "between friendliness toward the negro and social equality. The negro has no truer friend than the south erner. I have a negro coachman, a negro cook and a negro nurae for my baby, and they are devoted to me and I am devoted to them; but," he continued with a smile of niock-grav ity, "Good Lawd, a Massy, you can't tell me that you can take a corn field nigger ana ry putting good clothes on him make him as good as you gentle men sitting around this table." If let alone he was confident the south would work out its own salvation, but he did not think anything should be done at this time to limit its productive ca pacity. Wanted to Prevent l ae of f'liiirrh by Injunction. Hickory Press. There was an unusual case heard Monday iu the municipal building by Judge Councill, the matter being a re straining order asked by J.
