The Constitution says there is a
rowiDg sense of justice in tho North
that will hereaftqr be heard fiom in
negro officials over southern
^ }y. *r
flerald has opened a rift in the clouds
by rebuking the president, etc We
hope so, but now that Roosevelt has
appointed a Boston coon to a high
office, The Herald may change front
and say he is consistent. That growiog
sense of justice is a chamelion of
*j0y colors. It was quite visible a
little while after Grady made his
charming speeches in New York and
Boston, but the preaohers withered it
and McKinley made more appoint
ments and kept making them as Ion?
as he lived. This growing seuse does
not seem to flourish in many places.
The fact is, we have almost despaired
0f ever seeing justioe grow at the
north. Lately I have reoeived three
letters from up there that indioate
the growing sense, and I have read
and re read them with comfort. One
of these is f rom an old Mezioan veteran
who says that of the fc,700,000 soldiers
who fought against us, one million
were from the east fighting to free the
negroes, Grant's included. One mil
lion from the west fighting for the
union and the other 700,000 were the
riff-raff and scum, the* flotsam and jet
sam of all nations who joined the army
for bounty and booty and beauty, and
they were the element that Sherman
employed to make war hell. He
speaks of the war as unholy, unright
eous and unjust. Another letter is
[from Portland, Oreg., and says tho
writer recently got hold of one of my
letters which said that General Grant
was a slave holder and hired out his
negroes up to the close of the war and
lived off of their hire. He says: "I
didn't believe it but was induced to
examine his biography and I found it
was so." He says that nobody
in that country ever heard of
it and it is amazing and aston
ishing that Lincoln would appoint
a slave-holder to be the head of the
army. The writer of this letter was
brought up to believe that the South
brought all the negroes from Africa.
Another letter is from a New Hamp
shire man, a veteran, who says that he
and seven others from his town joined
a company in 1862, and only ono be
sides himself got back. Ever since
|then he has been reviewing his folly
and the folly of the war and is asham
d of his people and says that I do
not score them in my letters as hard
as they deserve. He has Hinfeon
wan Helper's famous campaign
' book, in which ho says:
"We are going to free your slaves
nd arm them with pikes and torches
md butcher your families and burn
pp your homes."
This book is indorsed by sixty-seven
?embers of congress, inoluding John
iherman. Appleton says that 167,000
opies were sold in three months and
t preoipitated the raid of John Brown,
it whose exeoution all tho church bollo
New England tolled a requiem.
And so I have found three northern
ers who have this growing sense and I
Bare heard of one more who is a sus
pect. I am keeping a tally sheet and
? soon as I hear of any moro growing
enee I record it. My Oregon friend's
eoeration came up since the war and
Jever had time to bother themselves

bat Roosevelt told about in his his
J?ry- That is all ho cared to know.

to Chicago to take charge of her pub- ,
lio schools and later on was chosen as ]
chancellor of the University of No- ,
braska, where he now is. Since the j
war he has frequently championed the j
cause of tLo South and became un- ,
popular with our malignant enemies. ,
Of course as he joined the army so \
young and lost an eye, we must let him
keep hie convictions, but he is a big* j
hearted, brainy man or he would not \
have dared to have Tritten that tri- t

that such men as Andrews and away (
baok, euch men as Webster and Haw- ^
thorne and Emerson and Story and t
Ghoate, could grow up and mature ]
among the noxious weeds of New j
England. I still recall with much ;
pleasure a good speech I heard in j
1844, at Amheret college?a com- ,
menoement oration by Bufus Choate,
who was regarded as the most bril- ,
liant, eloquent and impassioned orator \
of America. . I had a sohoolmate j
there, and my Boston unolo said he t
would go with me, for he Lad to look ?
after Mr. Ghoate, for he was an inti
mate friend. I didn't know exactly \
what that meant, but found out later. -
The great hall was crowded with ,
the best p-*tple of New England. My [
unole wr.s witli others seated upon j
the plftttorra. Mr. Ghoate's face was \
all nerves and muscles, his large eyes ]
and mouth conspicuous. For half an j
hour his voioo was almost a mono- j
tone with every word carefully '
and distinctly uttered, but this was j
but the breathing of a gentle wind be- {
fore the storm. Soon he seemed to
lose control of his own emotions and ]
soared away among the stars, and his \
features took on an unearthly glow, his ,
arms responded to every sentence, his \
frail body swayed to and fro and his ]
audience unconsciously swayed with \
him and held their breath for fear <
they wnuld lose a word or a motion. ,
No, I will never forget, that speech. ,
He stopped because he had to stop, <
for with the last eloquent sentence he j
became exhausted and was bodily lift- i
ed by my uncle and others to the ante <
room where he was stripped and rub- 5
bed down like an exhausted raoe \
horse. In an hour or so he was re
newed and revived. This was Bufus j
Ghoate?a bundle of quivering pas- 2
sionate nerves?whose eloquenoe no ,
audience could calmly listen to and ,
no jury withstand. Bill Arp. \
South Carolina's -'Bed Bones."
Bava you erer heard of a class of
people called "red bones?" said Lewis <
Marshall of Charleston, S. C, to thb
Washington Star. "They are the j
most peouliar people in the United
States. No ?ne living absolutely known
the raoe from which the/ sprang or
whence the original settlers oame.
They live nearly on the boundary line
between South Carolina and Georgia,
in the northwestern part of the first
named state. They aro very clannish,
mix very little with people nob of their
raoe, and in a manner are quite thrif
ty. I am of the opinion that they are
descendants of the Basques of South
ern Fran0o. Th ey do not laok courage
for a oompany of them norvad in
Hampton's legion during the late Civil
war, and bore themselves bravely at
the first Manassas. Their skin is of a
swarthy red, resembling that of the
Indians, bat at that point all resem
blanoe ceases, except it be that they
are verp hot of temper. I have often
wondered why the ethnologists of this
country have not studied these poeple.
Surely a monograph on them would be
highly interesting."

The many friends in this his native
County will read with considerable
interest the notioe published below of
Lieutenant Louis C. Richardson,
which was clipped from the Raleigh,
N. C, News and Observer:
"Lieutenant Louis C. Riohardson,
United States navy, one of the most
popular men in the service, is in Ral
eigh. Lieut. Rjohardson is a nativo
of South Carolina, having been bora
and reared in Anderson county. He
leaves to-day for Wilmingtoo after
having had charge here of tho recruit
ing office for Undo Sam's fighting
Forces. There are few men in the
navy whose living have been filled
with more interesting adventure than
Ihe life of Lieutenant Richardson.
Graduating from the Naval Academy
in the class of 1897 ho served during
the war on Admiral Sampson's flag*
ihip, the Now York. No opportunity
tras given here to distinguish him
self, but this experience was delayed,
until he began his services in Samoa.
As an ensign he went out on tho Abe
renda and for nearly three years lived
aboard the vessel just off Samoa.
Here he entered into the life of the
people, studying as few men do in the
conditions confronting these people.
As a "white chief" he became pop
alar with the people. He learned
their unwritten language, acquired a
perfect knowledge of their oustoms
md became the friend of all classes of
moiety.
It is a faot that during the stay of
the Abcrendo Lieutenant Riohardson
was the object of greatest admiration
imong the fair sex of the oountry.
Ehe society of Samoa is divided into
three classes, the royal, the chief and
the chief and the common. One never
mingles with another. In this land
10 one works and the proud race wear
20 clothing other than the loin olothes.
Fhe missionaries are making desper
ate efforts to give the people a writ
ten language.
It is a matter of record that on one
bright and glorious day the Aborenda
was visited by a delegation of princes
and high chiefs. The governor sent
for Lieutenant Richardson and upon
ins arrival upon deck he was informed
that the princess and high chiefs de
?ired the officer to marry the princess
rf Fungasa, who was reputed to be
)uc of the most beautiful and graceful
if the Samoan women. It was an
nounced as the intention of the dele
gation to order ? two weeks, holiday in.
Samoa and to give to the groom50 fine
mats, and kill BOO pigs for the feast to
follow the ceremony.
Lieutenant Richardson realized the
pride whioh filled the hearts of the
3amoans and he knew that he had a
difficult proposition before him to
make an exouse and rid himself of
the honor thust upon him. He
made a brief talk, expressed his thanks
to the princess and high chiefs, but
told them that he was under the
)rders of the "Great White Chief,"
the president of the United States,
md that .^o could not marry the prin
)ess without his permission. He ex
plained that if he married and took
the princess home with him she would
freeze to death.
Lieut. Riohardson is handsome,
winning and popular, but he iB not
looking forward to orders to return to
Samoa, the land in whioh he is thought
)f as an idol. He has often since met
the princess and she is one of his best
friends in the far away land.
Boon for Farmers.
Washingtou, D.C., Jan. 14.?There
irill be no more dreaded plagues of
trass hoppers or of loousts. The De
partment of Agriculture has disoaver
)d a plague to kill the plague? the
germ of an extremely contagions insect
lisease that oan wipe out the vastest
twarm of looudts or of grasshoppers in
% single night. The discovery is the
result of years of patient investiga
tion on the part of the department en
tomologists, and the praotioal value of
the discovery has been demonstrated,
government agents and private indi
viduals aoting as suoh, all over the
world. The disoovery is held to be of
immense value to farmers in those
sections of the oountry, notably the
Middle, West and Southwest, where
the looust and grasshopper pl&gucB
bave for years been one of the most
Ireaded possibilities against whioh the
farmer has to contend.

Law of the Skirt.
Women must hold up their skirts J
and protect their gowns from threat- (
ening nails and sharp corners whilo 1
shopping or marketing. Justice Hur
ley yesterday refused the protection :
of the law to those who neglect such
precautions. It alno appeared that
the woman who goes marketing in a
silk skirt with a flowing train, made
for Derby day, has little standing in
his court.
On these points MrB. Lucy O'Don
nell, 1010 Garfield Boulevard, lost her
suit for dao'.gee agaimet John R.
Thompson. Mrs. O'Donnoll's skirt,
in an unhappy moment, caught on a
nail on an orange box in Mr. Thomp
son's store at 38 State street and a
largo hole was torn in tho garment.
She said tho gown had cost $45 and
she wanted that amount of money
fiom Mr. Thompson.
"You were in a great hurry when
you entered the store?" asked Adolph
Raphael, Mr. Thompson's attorney.
'Of courso I was in a hurry. I had
been to meet some friends at a depot
and I wanted to do my marketing and
get home. I rushed in and hastened
to the rear to the meat counter. Sud
denly I heard something tear. I was
walking so fast I had to take two
more steps before I could stop to in
vestigate. Then I found my fine silk
skirt torn to pieces."
Mrs. O'Donnell prooceded to tell
how the garment had been made to
wear on Derby day and what its value
was.
"Was not that an expensive gown
to go' marketing in?" ouggojtcd the
attorney.
"That doesn't make any difference,"
retorted the witness.
"And did you hold the train up?"
asked the court, taking a hand in the
questioning.
"No, I did not. If I had the tear
would have been much worse."
"Those orange boj *s were secuiely
stowed under the counter," Justice
Hurley said. "Tho fault was with
Mrs. O'Donnell. She should have
held up her skirt. Let women carry
their skirts and not trail them over
the floor and furnishings."?Chicago
