The Slavery Question Which the North Undertook to Settle Thirty Years Ago, They Have Re-opened in the Philippines?The Doctrine of White Supremacy Emphatically Declared. In his speech at Providence, R. I., to the Bimetallic League, which was briefly reported in The Evening Post, Senator Tillman said some warm things. He said the Philippine war was a disgrace to the United States. He severely condemned imperialism. He also criticised New England capitalists. He charged ! them wi:h being a party to slave j conditions in the Hawaiian Islands | sugar plantations. In describing the speech the correspondent to the Boston Post said: In language emphatic and sarcasm most biting, with his index finger pointed at the audience, be handled the topics of the day in a fashion new in the experience of New England audiences, and for a time the people looked amazed. The audience 6oon became accustomed to his manner of presenting his argument, 30 that when he had finished they cried for "More, more. Go on,1' and applauded so long that the Senator was obliged to bow his acknowledgements several times. Lynching in the South he upheld; the right of the negro to the ballot without the educational qualification he condemned, and he regarded the treatment of the negro in the North as hypocritical. Senator Tillman said among other things: "The warmth of your welcome leads me to remark that it has not been so long ago that a man from the South and from South Carolina who would have come to New England to discuss national issues would have met with a very different treatment. (Laughter and applause) r tv\t?

(Loud applause) "We have been in existence as a cation not quite 125 years, and we have been in the habit of boasting that we have the greatest nation on the globe, the freest Dation, the 'land of the free and the home of the brave,' the asylum for the oppressed. But, my friends, I tell you that as far as I can see we are approaching a crisis when we will have to change the policies of thi3 government or we will witness the destruction of the republic and the substitution for it of a government of the few rich people controlling and oppressing and robbing the masses. (Loud applause.) ' You New Euglanders have some characteristics which, to mj mind, are most admirable. You have some institutions amoDg you that are not equaled elsewhere in the United States, and at heart you are as clean and honorable and high toned and patriotic a population as I have ever met. But, my countrymen, I want to have you to recollect this one thing that south of the Potomac and west of the Mississippi there are more people than there are in New England and in all the conntry outside of those limits. (Applause.) The people south of the Ohio and Potomac and west of the Mississippi can elect a President without jour help and in spite of you. (Applause and cries of "Hear, hear.^) "Thertfore i*s well for you to have it recalled to your minds that this is a great country, and that it has more interests than center around New E-ugland or New Yotk or the Middle States, that these interests are now beiDg neglected; that one-half of the people of this country are beiDg oppressed, and that it is being done by your consent and through^your vote3. (Applause.) ' You have seen nothing in your newspapers except sophistiies and falsehoods, therefore how could you understand the subject? How could you be made to know that all this rot and twaddle that you have read was beiDg bought by the capitalists who sought to throw dust in your eyes to enable them to get your votes in their schemes to oppress the rest of the country and oppress you along with us? (Loud applause.) "Now you have had eloquent allusion to the poem of Edward Markham, 'The Man With the Hoe,' and to Millars' great painting. I represent the man with the hoe. I am known as Farmer Tillman in the United States Senate (Laughter), and there are 30,000.000 of them in this country, and therefore, as I am the only farmer, you can not blame me if I present to you the aspects of public questions as they appear to the farmers and as they affect them. "You people in New England no longer have the agriculture. You are segregated in towns and villages engaged in manufacturing, and therefore you know nothing about condi-! tions which exist elsewhere, where men have to toil and sweat from morning until night in pursuit of those avocations of the farmer where they dig out of the soil the support of themselves and their families? the 'Man With a Hoe' who takes 1 ft flflfl ftftft Violoo r,f r>nff nr> from flip XUjVVVjVW V* v\y k>vv? ?* \/M? ? ? ground, who raises the wheat, who raises the corn, the oats, the beef, the pork, the breads tuffs, the butter, and all the other agricultural products, which constitute $750,000,000 of your exports. Orer three quarters of it is discriminated against in Washington, is ignored, and his rights and interests are no more considered there than if he did not exist. (Applause.) Class legislation for the benefit of special industries, has wrought an accumulation of wealth in the Eastern portion of this country to the injury and detriment of the Southern portion and the Western part. Now I am not going to find fault with you for having been shrewd and sharp enough to quit farming. (Laughter) ' I tell you what I know just as much and as clearly that I know that electric light is burning?that the day when wages in America will fall to the level of European wages can not be put cff by any possible combioa^ ~ ^ AM lA/ytnlafiAn A? iiuu ui puiitiuiaiic kjl ic^iciauuu ui the near future when you people in Providence and all over New England, now protected, will have your wages brought down through the greed of your employers to the level of those in France, Germany and England. (Applause.) c "There is another topic that possibly a Southern man can discuss with more function, with more complacency, with more satisfaction than anybody else at this time. It is the attitude of the present administration toward the colored races of the earth. (Applause.) The slaves were freed in accordance with the doctrine that all men are created free and equal, and that color has nothing to do with a man's standing. "That war which abolished slavery cost the Southern people the lives of 250,000 of its best sons, and cost you an equal number. But, my friends, I tell you now, thiity-five years after that great struggle, the men who were leaders in it, who preached the crusade on the equality of meD, are now sending troop3 to the Philip piues I'J bXJUUli LUtU lJLUU bUULUXbSlUU j who are contending for whit we con- j tended for in 177G. "And it is a disgrace to the nation. ' (Applause.) We are forcing our rule upon the people of Hawaii and the Philippine islands. On the former island there ^re 50,1)00 slaves on sugar plantations, mostly owned by New Englanders. (Laughter ) They have always contended for the equality of the black man. Well, now, I have got no love for those colored races. I contend, and have always contended, and will die believing that the negro i3 not the equal of the white man. (Applause.)

The local papers of Manila assert that Corporal Dambcffer and Private Conine, of Company B, Sixteen Infantry. United States Armv, bave barn sentenced to death and Private Burnett has been condemned to 20 years imprisonment for having criminally assaulted a woman. President McKinley, it is also stated, has been asked to approve the sentences and that the condemned men be executed in public as a warning against a repetition of the crime. This story is probably a canard of the first magnitude circulated to excite sympathy for the insurgents. There is a great kick annng the Charleston soldiers against the railroads over the matter of the fare from that city to New York on the occasion of tho Dewey celebration. The rate, as fixed by the railroads, is $10.90 for the round trip which i3 considered exorbitant by the soldiers. They think that $9 would pay the railroads a handsome profit. 1 The soldiers will probably make the ' trip by ocean. Charleston's proclivi- 1 ties for kicking against every thing 1 that she cannot control, ere so well known that the only surprising thing 1 is that she does not kick against God { for permitting the sun to shine on the * balance of the State. < Dreyfus, a Captain in the artillery 1 arm of the French army has for the K second time been convicted of selling c the secrets of his government to a i foreign power. About four years ( ago be was first convicted and sen- ^ tenced to spend the remainder of his c life on a lonely island off the coast I of French Guinea, known as Devil's island. Since that time up to a recent date he has been there suffering all the agonies of solitary confinement, his guards, the only persons except himself on the island, were forbidden to speak to him. Grave 3oubts as to bis guilt was entertained by the populace and such a pressure wa3 brought to bear upon the government that it was deemed expeaieit to give Drejfus a new trial, which was done with the result mentioned ibove. Undoubtedly Dreyfus is the rictim of a deep laid plot on the part high army officials to save themselves from disgrace for their own wrong doing. The judges on his :ast trial were so pr(judice and so dearly parties to the conspiracy as :o excite the contempt and indignation of the entire civilized world. Dreyfus is sentenced to ten years' mprisonment. He will probably be ^ pardoned by the French cabinet, C ? out says he does not wish pardon without complete vindication. f The State Board of Control ha9 1 innouDced its decision to cancel all r oeer privileges after November 1st, I md thereafter lovers of the foamy 6 oeverage will have to get their supply from a dispensary, the same i s c whisky drinkers have to get theirs. ^ There is no doubt that the beer c privilege men have grossly abused the privilege in selling beer contrary to the spirit and letter of the dis- 1 pensary law, and therefore, they have only themselves to blame if tbeir privilege is taken from them ard their business broken up. We a-e opposed to this beer privilege business anyway you lock at it. It was never the intention of the trainers of the original dispensary law to grant such a prhi'ege to any set of meD, and Senator Tillman the other day in a speech has done much for the cause of temperance and her hand j maid morality when he denounced | the pernicious evil which was daily growing in enormity and varied ramifications.

There is only one question I wish to ask you," he said.

On one of our outings to the mountains we secured a quantity of very rich pitch pine which made such good kindling wood that when it was gone the old way of whitling shavings seemed very unsatisfactory, and we set out to find something better. Pouring kerosene on makes the fire start quickly; but we have a prejudice against being burned alive. After various experiments we hit upon the following, which is safe and cheap and good. Take a flat 10-pound lard pail. Break corncobs in two and ntand the halves on end in the pail until the bottom is filled. Then pour kerosene enough over them to wet the cobs and leave a little in the bottom of the pail, so that a half inch or less of the end of the cobs will stand in the oil. One of these pieces of cob laid iu the grate will light readily from a match and burn strongly enough to start quite coarse kindling, and prove a great help cn cold winter mornings.?L. Mentor. - ?
