The Pennsylvania road has a large interest in the matter and has long wanted to get in here, bn'. saw no opening, tor two com peting lines are enough. Then the Seaboard is not so very far off. It can be reached at Pitteltoro, jer hapa thirty miles away, so that it can be safely predicted that some other road will come in and that time is not far distant.

A late New York special says: Letters of American soldiers in the Philippine to thoir friends and relatives at home give acini! and vivid pictures of tho war, besides showing how the superstition, sav agery and treachery of the native havo made necessary a mode of war fare against them which under oth er circuiristanci s would be cruel arid rapacious. Tho following letters tell their own horrihlo stories; Charles Premier, of Minneapolis, Thirteenth Minnesota, says : "Com pany Ps movement were hampered hy few prisoners. They were killed, and tho Company moved on." Albert F. Pry, First Washing ton, says; "Not far from where I write- Oewey threw a ten inch shell into ft trorich and killed l.'iO. We could see them go up into the air in pieces." A. i.

This is worn hy them because the prior Is have told tin m if they wore this charm our bullets would not kill them." T. W.

I ho esb o'tk d New lurk Sua i not at its best when it discusse Southern matters. In a recent ar ticlo, r peaking of the lynching am: other brutalities cum m it ted in di ferent states beyond tho Potomac Kiver, and speculating as to wheth er these atrocities will have the of feet of expatriating the negroes, the Sun decline that, in tho event of a pro cotod migration, the Southern whites would rise up in protest and even resort lo violence to defeat tho movement. Negro labor, the Sun asserts, is cheap labor, and its disap pearanoo would dis irganizii tho whole industrial system of tho sec tion. Further along in tho samo article, tho Sun savs that the South em whites are doing everything they can to drive the negroes out from among them. What, with lynching, persecution, and ho on and so on if(. ja made intolerable for the negroes, ami hut one result can bo expected. We pars over the absurd contra diction involved in these two ir reconcilable propositions. ( If course, if the whites are trying to expel the negroes troin the South, they will not. object when their ethir'a prom ise to be successful ( if course, if the whiles regard tl cm as indispen sable to their indiistri l system, they are not trying to dmo them out Tho Sun clearly dues not imdeislatid the situation. The fact is that the negro is not indispensable to the South, though the high class whites relics and de scendants of tho old slave owning aristocracy all pielcr him. lie is more oonservatiic, more reliable, iti'TO acceptable in every way to tho whites of t!i(! kind we have men tiontd. They understand the tie gro, have c uili'lctico in him, anil bos to iv upon him tin ir Hlfectiori and their sympathies. Them is no in stance on record where a Southern gentleman tr ied to obstruct a negro inhisttlort to ncijuiie and retain property. Thorn is not an instance in which 1 I't'gro has In en pelsecil ted in the pursuit of anv honest and legitimate avocation. On the con trary, the great propi it-tors ate not only willirg but anxious to seu their black neighbors become freehold ers, b r in that they recognize the solution of the vexations problems now disturbing their social and po iitieil order. At the fame time, it is tn.e that the industrial system of the South does not d'-pi-nd upon the negro. It is a well known fact that at h ast three fifths of tho cot ton crop the section's most impor tant prod lie - - is plan tod, cultivated, and harvested by white labor. It is an eipially well known f ict that truck tanning, fruit growing, and all tl.e various rainilieatior s of di vcrsilied agriculture are yearly growing in extent umhr the white man's industry. The simple truth of t!,e mat'er is that the atrocious crimes which have furnished the pretext for lynching are committed by a very small frac tion (d the negro population, and the barlutities practiced upon the alleged criminals are committed, as an almost invariable rule, by the liwtst and most disreputable class of whites. The negroes who are butchered 'And tortured do not rep resent their race any more than the whites who hutL'hor ate! torture them represent their own. I'hcy are, both of them, insignilicant ijnantities, and the country is mak ing far too much of them in these eontroversit s. When wo seethe sweatshops abolished in our great Northern cities, the white cajai ex terminated in the Middle Wt stern Slates, the wite heaters and tortur ers of helpless children everywhere, punished as they deserve, it will be time to concentrate our altruistic solicitude on the South.

Cause of the Sampson-Schley Feud. It has eome to bo pretty well nn derstood that thorn is an old fend between Commodore Schley and Kear Admiral Sampson, tho two naval oflicers just now making his tory for themseles and for tho country. When Schley was an en sign ho was on liar'I ship with Sampson, then a lieutenant, and a dillietilty occurred between them, and ever sineo a grudge has rankled in tho breast of Sampson. Tho dillienlty, year and year ago, oc curred in this tin way : One day Satnpsj:i missed some bananas which ho had hung no in tho ship to ripen. lie was very angry over the loss of the fruit and tried to find tho thief, h i nail r he came to the conclusion that a certain marine was the culprit, and sent for him. 1 he marine replied indignant ly that ho had not seen the banana and that he was no Ihief. I his iiitiirtated rampsou, who said: "I will punish you for yv, as well as stealing. Sampso'i sent for the druggist and gave the poor marine an immense dose of ipecac. Schley was ashore at the time, but when ho returned In saw the marine "nlfcring. Schley asked Sampson who had administered the drug that caused the suffering of the sailor. Samps. ui told tho whole incident. and tho matter so incensed Schley that he exclaimed : "No gentleman would treat a poor marine that way, and, following the exclamation, he slapped Sampson in the face. Then a scene followed, Sampson demand ing satisfaction. Schley reminded him that it was against the regulations for naval of licers to receive or send challenges to fight a duel, but added: " That need not prevent ymir getting satis faction, sir, We can both resign to-day and then light it out." Sampson did not rtsign, did not seek satisfae'ion, and the matter was Iropped. Chicago t 'hronicle. A pparontly tho p uson still rankles in Sampson's cowardly heart, a w as shown by his ellort to rob the noble and brave Schley of the honor of lestroying Ccrvcra's cpiadron at Santiago. Sampson's fear of Spain's lummy guns in the various fortiti- cition at trie mouth of Santiago arbors, bus only been cpialled in history by "embalund beet" Alger's io!y horror and deadly fear of the Johnnies" during the intiM-i- il war it-tween the States. The Snake had a Head at Each Fnd. This is a snake story right, but unlike most snake stories, this is a true one, for a reputable man, Mr. t. M. Hargett, of Faulk vicinity, ouches for it. Mr. Ilargett's son was plowing a few days ago an 1 up turned a small green snake, which, to his litter surprise, had two beads, one on efu'li end. The head at the tail end of his snakeship was a little bit smaller than the other one, but jiift as perfect, with eyes, month and all. And what's more, both heads wore "licking out" their tongues. f anybody can beat this it's tune for them to come forward.- Monroe loiirn il. - - . Great Improvement.
