An official who quite generally knows what he is talking about was dilating the other afternoon upon the funny hopelessness for all reasonable purposes of many of the little creeks and rivers for the ''improvement" of whioh congress was asked to appropriate money under the river and harbor bill. "When Grant was president," said the official, ''he used to alternately chuckle and fulminate against the expediture of good government coin for the 'improvement' of measly little streams that he himself knew could never be made fit for any human purpose. There was a Virginian who, failing to get congress to stick id an appropriation for the dredging of a little stream down in his section finally importuned Grant in the matter. " 'Let's see,' said Grant, musingly, 'I believe I crossed that stream in 1864, wasn't it?' "'The VirginiaD, who remembered Grant's crossing of the stream pretty well, replied affirmatively.

Tillman on the Negro. Says the Problem Bufflss Him, but Ofters Sensible Suggestions. Some days ago, when Senator B. R. Tillman stroDgly denounced the whitecapping of negroes in Greenwood, the Rev. J L. Dart, of Charleston, wrote him a letter of thanks on /xf l.imcnlP or?/^ Kic for I UCliail U1 lilUIQC/ll UUU ii?w 4 uvv V% his strong words of condemnation and denunciation of outrsges and lawlessness. Besides thanking Senator Tillman the writer took occasion in his letter to touch upon several topics of public interest, among them being the relations of the races in the South and the future of the negro in this country. On this subject the Rev. J. L Dart said: "Whether we be Democrats or Republicans, Southerners or Northerners, white or black men, there is a common ground upon which we all can stand, and that is our united and firm determination that all forms of lawlessness in our midst, whether carried on by whites or blacks, shall be put down and completely banished from our borders; that the law shall have its course in every case and instance, and every citizen shall have the guaranteed protection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "But for myself I have come to believe in the ultimate separation of the races in the South?the emigration of the race, not so much to Africa as the colonization of our people in the newly acquired possessions of Cuba aud Porto Rico and throughout the Noith and West. This, of course, cannot be done for several years to come, but while the negro race is gaining in education, wealth and experience, preparatory for their departure, they should have the protection of the law and the generous aid and sympathy of their white neighbors.'' To this letter Senator Tillman replied as follows: The Rev. J. L. Dart, Charleston, S. C. Dear Sii: Your letter cf August 19th has been received. I confess I am both surprised and gratified at receiving it. I am only sorry that a badly garbled and in some respects a distorted report of my speech was published in our State papers and sent abroad. I used much stronger language and my appeal for justice was much broader than what you saw. The correspondent of the News and Courier, Mr. Kohn, wrote me that his report by mail did not reach the office in time for publication. I am considered as the arch enemy of the negroes, or colored people, because while Governor, and before, I exerted all the influence I possessed for the purpose of disfranchising them. If you will contrast the condition of the negroes in South Carolina with that in North Carolina and Georgia you will see that there is much more good feeling and less friction here than where political activity and the franchise exist on the basis of manhood suffrage. The ! Phoenix riot is directly attributable to the political virus injected into the negroes of that neighborhood by designing white men?the Tolberts? and the recent outrages are the aftermath. What the ultimate solution of the race problem will be I do not know, but I do know that race and caste feeling are insuperable barriers to social and political equality in the South, and that the negro, as the weaker and inferior race, will always be the victim of every conflict by which he seeks, either of his own accord or when led by designing white men, to break down those barriers. There is no room in the Northwest, i or opening, for any negro ccmmuni- j ties, as you will fiud if you go there j to investigate. The Northern whites j no longer sympathise with the ideas j which brought on the civil war, as is | j proven by Governor Tanner's attitude j | and official action. There may be an j I opening for a limited number of ne- i i groes in Cuba and Porto llico, but I j j think the Philippines is already occu! pied by a race that would be more | ! intolerant and cruel than the whites, j | What the end will be I cannot say, ! but this I do know, the negro must rem?in subordinate or be txterminated: and I, for one, will always set my face like Hint sgainst any injustice or unfairness toward him as long as he remains in his proper sphere and leaves politics alone. The whites are in the ascendency and will remain so whatever comes. And as the supeiior and more civil ized race they owe it to themselves ! to protect the negro in his light to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," even though that declara'ion was written by a slave holder who did not take the negro into consideration i when he wrote it.

In the police court's daily j long rail of "assaults" and "drunk i . and disorderlies" his name seldom j , appears. That the Jewish heme is a j home in the truest sense is a fact I which no one will dispute.

Delay in Completing Warships?Contractors Complain That They are Unable to Procure Material at Any Price. Washington, Sept. 7 ?The navy is beginning to feel seriously the tft'cCt of the heavy advance in the steel maiket. Yesterday the ship building firm of Lally & Co., of Bos tor, asked a year's extension from October 1, in building the torpedo boat9 De Long and Blakely, now under construction in their yards. The Nixons at Eiizabethport, N. J., who are building the torpedo boats Nicholson and O'Brien have stated to naval cfficials that it i9 impossible for them to get frogings and struts, and it is expected that they will have to ask an extension. There are twelve cf the torpedo boats and destroyers under construction in various yards, and all are affected by the "steel famine'' and heavy prices, so that it is expected that extensions will be asked on all of these craft. The prospect i3 that the bids on the 6ix protected cruisers, to be opened on November 1, will be much higher than was expected when the appropriation for them was made. It is roughly estimated that the steel in hulls has advanced about 50 per ^ i ? ftn ^ A s\ ? r\ /"> rv 4 . ieui.; iu cujjiuccj auuui tv pci tcui., and Ibat the average advance on all classes of steel used in ships is about 35 per cent. The engineering bureau has also felt the advance, not only in increased prices, but in an inability to get material and bids inside the limit fixed by congress. On a recent purchase of electric cranes, the advance was found to be about 25 per cent, [n the contracts for material for the power plant at New York the increase ranged from 30 to 50 per cent., the latter applying to engines. The bureau of yards and docks is unable to proceed with a number of building projects at the navy yard and stations, owing to the advance in steel. This is the ca9e as to the large buildings at the New York navy yard, all the bids being in excess of the amount allowed by congress. The same is true of the ordnance shops at the League island yard, Philadelphia, and of several lesser projects. Civil Engineer Cunningham, of the bureau of yards and docks, says structural steel has advanced 100 UCl V/tU u. Admiral O'Neill, of the bureau cf ordnance, says the price of ordnance is about the only branch not affected by the rise in steel. Gun metal is used only by the army and navy, so that there is no commercial demand to send up the prices.

Another critical period is sixty, when those holding positions of responsibility, who are too absorbed to take proper rest, go to pieces. Yet a man who has lived to that age ought to continue 10 years longer, provided he takes care of himself. It is the pace that tells. It would be laughable, if it were not serious, to see staid bankers and merchants rushing along to save a few minutes' delay, or, like General Scott in his famous letter of acceptance, "swallow a bastv plate of soup" for luncheon, or, constantly smoking long, black cigars, as Go\ernor Flower did, or, dictating to a stenograpner oil an ocean steamer, as was Mr. Hide's custom.
