But in com monwealths where whites and blacks, although races profoundly distinct from one another, nevertheless live to gether, 1 should bs sorry indeed to Ijave the government controlled by thc ^ blacks, The whites ol' no northern State would voluntarily submit to ne gro government. Even if negroes be In a majority, is it not idle lo expect southern States in this respect to do what northern States would not? If in southern States tbe refusal of white men to be governed by black men means that black men are to be gov erned by white men and against the consent of the black men, 1 dislike thc result as a calamity to both races, per haps the worst of all the calamities born of tho iniquitous slave trade. "Whatever, however, be our grief at \ . dllllculties or inconsistencies, what ever be their practical evils, it is idle to ignore thc vast racial difference be tween whites and blacks, or the vast superiority of tlic white race. So it is idle to discuss whether white superiori ty be essentially and permanently in born, or whether it represent achieve ments of relatively short time which the black race'may likewise, and in as short a time, accomplish. In spite of many exceptions honorable to the black race and dishonorable to the white race, the fact of thc racial dif ference and of tile white superiority ls, for our generation and for genera tionc > comew open to no doubt what ever, bliese exceptions do not make the rule. The really great relative .. . . ..-progress of the negro since his escape from slavery does not alter thc fact. The problem in the south is unique. There we have two races dwelling to gether in closest industrial relation, pity and country alike-races not far from, numerically equal-races of which one ou the average is very sup erior to the other, but, nevertheless, both races entitled and subject to a jegal theory of perfect and Democratic political equality. No like problem exists in any northern State or in any Democratically governed community of which 1 know. If, on the one hand, pegroes be systematically excluded from the franchise while while men of like qualifications arc admitted, then clearly the white man rules the negro Without thc latter's consent, and thc foundation doctrine of thc Declara tion of the Independence and of American government and thc express law of the land are violated. Such a result is lamentable aud demoralizing, like many another inconsistency or anomaly. If, on the other hand, there bc no such exclu sion ol' negroes from suffrage, then in some States at least negroes will rule white men, willi tue result that, so long as the conditions of negro life are what they now are ai tho south and what they must for generations remain-civilization itself will be un dermined and decay. The rule would inevitably bc what it was in corrupt carpetbag days-a rule of adventur ers and demagogues kept in power by _'; ignorance, unspeakably disastrous to v~^vN. whirs and black .alike. ," As between violation of American doctrine and law and surrender of civilization, the southern states wit h large negro populations have seized the horn of the dilemma 'which thc White ol' any and every northern State would In like situation seize. Thc southern whites stand for civilization as against political theory of legal right. And so tiley will stand. Nor do 1 believe that the nor til will effec tively lind fault. For only effective faultfinding would be tho enactment and execution of a force iaw such as has been nowhere more severely con demned than on the editorial pages of the Evening Tost. Mor will President . Roosevelt or his par.. / go further in faultfinding that they deem useful to their hold upon negro delegates from the south or negro voters at the north. Doubtless, in some of the northern States whose political divisions are nearly even, the negro voter is impor tant to the Republican party. Hut even there I venture to point out that, wi til rare exceptions, negro delegates arcas effectively excluded from Repub lican conventions and from the tickets proposed by thc republicans at the polls, as they arc from the franchise in any southern State. Thc Republi can administration boisterously up holds the refusal of political rights to dark-skinned men in Asiatic islands who would, if tiley enjoyed such rights, rule themselves to a result of solid though slow progress to their own higher civilization, and, while so rul ing themselves, would not rule white \ men to the prostration of Caucasian civilization. Is it nob an audacious in consistency willi which lins very ad ministration preaches a contrary doc trine for southern States, and only for those from which they do not hope for a single electoral vote? Nor do 1 be lieve that tlie Republican party will responsibly and sincerely propose a single practical remedy for thc south ern dlt?lculty. Tlie more, practical such a remedy thc more forcible lt would have to lie, and thc more forci ble it should be, tho more its proposal Lliu cobdomhftUori o?

Is it not astonishing thafc"able.arid high-mind ed men do not perce! ve the absebce of likeness between tile two cases? Foreign bor h voters at tho ndrth soon become, if they have not already, be come, an integral part of the whole white population. Tho white immi grant soon shares the 'instincts and prejudices of the native whites, he worships in the same churches; he is a member of the same unions, orders and lodges: He socially mingles with white natives, subject only to the limitations imposed by tastes, habits af life, fortune, creed business, and the other categories which determine thc social relations of citizens of pure white American descent. The second generation of white European immi grants is generally indistinguishable in appearance or speech from the de scendants of thc May Ho wer pilgrims. The third generation Is completely part of the American race. How radi cally different the relations between Whites and negroes. The two races, have lived together in South Carolina for two centuries.aud a half. Hut thoy remain today separate and distinct. It is thc wisdom and the aspiration of tim noble and intelligent men of the black race, no less than the intense and profund instinct of the white race that the two races must not, for thc safety of both, fuse In sex or family relations? And now for the second question. If constitutional guaranties of penal ties fail to indue; -and will not be used by courts and congress and presidents to compel- thc dominant white race to enfranchise the blacks in States where thc latter are in a majority, pr so numerous as with a relatively small white minority to make a majority-then upon what other guaranties and penalties can wc count to secure political rights to the blacks? To this I answer that we shall count upon the wisdom of white men and black men. . Wc shall count upon the progress of black men in in dustrial intelligence, thrift and wealth. Wc shall count upon the iu iluence and stimulus of their own high minded leaders. Those leaders sec with heaven-directed vdsdom that Jt is not thc ballot which gives strength but rather strength which brings thc ballot. Negro conventions of late are much more full of encouragement than is your catechism. The carpetbag gov ernment of blacks, however great their majorit?s, fell wheu thc bayonets of northern white men were with drawn. Thc plain reason was that the black men lately in slavery and hav ing ages or aeons of Africa instead or western Europe behind their slavery, were inferior in the skill, industry, in telligence, self-restraint which makes thc strength of white men. Black men are, however, acquiring thrift, intelli gence, well-ordered industry, property; and with these they will acquire strength in their relations with ali men, white and black. If the pro gress must bc long-so hTHTwliite pro gress been long. Thc black man can not justly repine if to compel tho average white man tp "respect thc abilities and virtues of his race, it shall take as long as it took to convert the typical Augio-Saxon hand who tilled the soil a thousand years ago in practical slavery, to become the typi cal American or English mechanic or farmer of the Twentieth century. Nor ought he to repine if It shall take much longer. As strength and ability cone to black men, industrial success will come to them-and in this indus trial republic that success will com mand thc deference of white men. Tlie dollar of the black man will come in time-and no long time-to lia vc tlie power of a white man's dollar. With patience and tact white men will, 1 believe, at the south as at thc . irtli; come to wish that thc black kian whom he respects for thrift or ability or property shul) vote, and to take care that Iiis voting is not ob structed. So it is that wc may count upon the white man-upon his enlightened self interest. And we may more safely count upon him if we recognize thc fact that, whether we will or not, this problem is to be solved by the domi nant race at the south. With its con trol of the solution nothing bu? civil war can interfere and ever this we shall not have civil, war. Lately 1 ventured in Alabama-and what 1 said was must*, hospitably received to present this truth. 1 pointed out the- enormous interest which the (Juif States had, in tlie in dustrial progress of thc negro. One half or more ol' their labor is negro labor. Thc productivity of those States, their progress in wealth, the success of the white man in using their natural resources, the whites man's fortune and powt?r-all these must in large part depend upon the industrial productivity of the negro. That productivity will in the long run, with blacks as with whites, de pend upon the conlideuce of tlie labor ing masses io thc justice of their neighbors and ol' tlie law under which they live, lt will depend upon the laborer's hopefulness and buoyancy, thc energy and resolute self-denial tliey create in him. And tho labor er's hopeful buoyancy depends upon his belief that, if he. do well, lie will bc important and respected, This in stinct exists in both "races. So it is that thc interest of thc southern white man, Iiis own industrial success, the peace and security of his country and his home, all are inevitably wrapt up in Iiis treatment of thc negro. The white man will-in fact, ordered as tile world is, lie must-assure to tlie negro as thc latter progresses in thrift and ability and self-command, a larger recognition. This will, J trust and believe, come to mean A strictly equal administration of property and intelli gence quail libations for suffrage like those prescribed by the new Alabama constitution. Tlie black witli pro perty or able to demonstrate his in telligence will vote, and will be aided hy dominant white sentiment to com pel thc acceptance of his vote. So it is that we may count in the solution of tlie negro suffrage question upon thc inspired labors ol' the south ern and northern men, men blick and men white, who for tlie present preach to tlie southern negroes industlal pro gress. These seem long remedies, and they are long. But they arc sure remedies; and there are no other.

The com- 1 bined squadrons of the United States navy were assembled in order7 as the ' Washington correspondent for thc New York World puts It, "to make a i holiday for President Roosevelt, his ? family, and a few invited friends." I Tho World correspondent says chat f the bringing of thc ships to thc pres!- < dent's summer home Involved the ex penditure or a huge amount of public I money amounting almost to a quarter ! of a million dollars and all for the pur- ' poseof providinga holiday for the pres-, ident, the members of. his family and his guests. The World correspondent says: "Naval oll?cers are especially critical and point out that the Oyster Bay meeting resulted not only in valu- i abie loss or tiree to- thc squadron, .which was interrupted for one whole week in the summer maneuvers, but 1 also in serious damage to several of tlie ships and 'small craft. During the review 2,004 shots were fired from ' thc six-pou miers. Tlie cost of the saluting charge bf a six-pounder is 40 cents." On tlie occasion or this re markable exhibit at thc president's summer home, an accident occured to thc Massachusetts, lt ls said that this great, vessel was hurrying out of Bar Harbor in a fog to catch up with the other ships, and that it ran onto Egg Rock,, and that had it not been for the captain's anxiety to reach Oyster Bay with the rest of the fleet, thc Massachusetts would have.stayed at anchor until the thick fog lifted. The Barry and Decatur collided and this thc World's Washington corres pondent attributes to "the en thusiasm of the president to call for a Hying wedge." It is estimated that to repair the damage caused by this maneuver at least $20,000 will be necessary, lt is claimed that thc cost of coal in this utterly useless holiday affair will amount to a very large sum and altogether lt is said that the peo ple of the United States expended very nearly one quarter of a million dollars in order to provide President Roosevelt and his guests with a day's entertainment, A.

Editor of The Mountaineer: We, the undersigned, guests of the White Stone lethia hotel, having no j ticed in the various papers thrqughotit the State numerous^ articles concern ing thc recent' robberies fromfthc rooms of this hotel, we believe that great Injustice has been done Mr. Harris. At thc earnest solicitation of thc guests from,whom articles of value had been taken, he was induced to make search of tlie effects of one of thc'guitsts, who was'suspected by al most every guest in the hotel. While none of the lost property was reover ed, wc are informed that sufficient evidence was secured by examination of thc trunks of the suspected party to warrant thc suspicions and to justify Mr. Harris in his search. We feel confident that Mr. Harris did all he could to recover the lost property taken from his guests. We heartily approve of his actions in this, matter and believe in tlie coming trial before the courts that he will be thoroughly vindicated. And we further state that up to thc time of the arrival of the suspected party no valuables were missing from the rooms, and since tlie departure of thc suspected party we have not heard of a single article be ing missed. ,;. > T?. lt.

The olllcer's re sponse was to take the man from his buggy and put- him in the -stables, where ho was placed, under the guard of two stablemen. A revolver was found rn the buggy. Later Wcilbren ner was brought to the village' and locked uri. ile is.5 feet'8 inches high, 28 years old, has a medium sized dark moustache, dark eyes and evidently ls of German decent. He resides in Syossct, about live miles inland from Oyster Bay. Ile was well dressed lu a su it-ot dark material and wore an old fashioned derby hat. While Wcilbrenner talked rationally to trio officers last night, it seems evi dent from his conversation today that lie is demented. Uc.saldrthat he had received a telegraphic communication from the president directing him to call at Sagamore Hill. Wellbrenner's buggy was taken to a local livery barn. When asked what became of the rig, Weilbrenner re plied: "Oh, the president has taken care of lt. That's all right." Weilhrennor, several years ago, had a nervous attack which rendered him mentally helpless for a day or two but his family supposed that he had been quite restored by the medical treat ment he received at the time. Since then he had manifested no symptoms of mental aberration. - He had no so cialistic or anarchistic tendencies so far as known, never having been in terested-in any questions bf that kind. He was employed dually on his father's farm. Wcilbrenner was arraigned today before Justice Franklin on complaint of tile secret service operatives who placed him under arrest. Weilbroii ner's brother, William .was present nt thc examination. J ustiee. Fran'.-' questioned . the . prisoner r bou':^--^ movements last night. ' ! His replies were made, in a quiet tone of voice but they indicated,[ap parently, beyond a doubt, that'thc man is crazy. Asked why he wcap to Sagamore Hill, he replied: "I went to see the president about his daughter, Alice." "Had you an engagement with the president?" "Yes." "How was tho engagement made?" "I talked witli the president last night," replied Weilbrenner. "How did you talk with him?" "Oh, I just talked." "A sort of wireless talk was it?" "Yes, that is it, a wireless talk." "Why did you want to see the pres ident about Miss Alice?" "1 wanted to marry her."_ "Did you ever see Mjss Roosevelt?" "Yes, 1 saw.iier night bel'ore last." "V'herc did you sec her?" ..'.'"At my house." "Did she go over there?" "Yes, she came In a red automobile." "Who accompanied her?" "Her brother, Theodore." Justice Franklin after thc examina tion concluded he would hold Wcil brenner until an inquiry ol lunacy could bc held upon his case. The examination of Wcilbrenner was continued Wednesday afternoon. Dr. George A. Stewart and Dr. Irv ing S. Barnes conducted the examina tion. Wcilbrenner was declared by them to bc insane, ile was placed in the custody of Sheriff Johnson of Nassau county. Weilbrcnner was taken to Mine?la. L. 1., on an evening train and placed in tlic custody ol' the county authori ties. lt appears that President Roosevelt was aware of the trouble the secret officer had with Wcilbrenner, Wed nesday night. After the man had been turned back tile second time despite his insistence that he had an engagement with the president, the officer to make assurance doubly sure, inquired of thc president about thc fellow. Mr. Bosseveit was in Iiis library only a short distance from Hie spot when.' the officer had stopped Wellbrenner's horse. Ile told thc of licer he had no engagement with any body. When Wcilbrenner returned a third time with a demand that he bc|per mitted to sec the president, the of tlicer seized him and threw him out of vehicle, over the front wheel. Thc noise of thc seri!file attracted the president's attention. Ho appeared at the door overlooking thc driveway from thc veranda, as Wcilbrenner was being taken into the stables,"but re turned to the library almost im mediately.

Gaunt.aod huge on the bare eminence of Chatham bill, near London, stands an unfinished build ing one hundred and forty feet square and about one hundred feet high-an unsightly cube, with three square towers-rooftless, and with the many score of windows unglazed and yawn ing. It was begun by a sect of religi ous enthusiasts who.fancied that it would afford them security from the terrors of the Last Judgment. Twen ty years ago, according to a writer lu thc Strand Magazine, one John White obtained a' vast following as a divine personage, churning to be a second in carnation.of the Messiah. Under hiB direction this enormous building, which was designed to reaoh to the clouds, was begun aud carried for ward, largely by private subscription. Forty thousand .pounds, or 8200,000; had been expended .on thc structure when the leader of the sect died and the |t-ork came suddenly to an end. ills disciples scattered as did those of Theudas in the days ot the taxing.

Tanning Skins. Many farmers, who sell the skins of farm animals, would bo glad to use them, if they knew how to make them usable. The following directions have been sent in, as reliable: Take one-half pound of alum, one pound of saltpetre, livo pounds com mon salt, two ounces corrosive subli mate, and two gallons of water." Put It in a vessel that can be covered, so thal no animal can drink it. If there is any llcsh on the hides, lay them on a hoard, flesh side up, and rub with a brick ur a dull knife, until it is re moved. After all the ingredients are dissolved, put thc pelts into the ves sel of liquid, and allow them to remain two Qr three weeks. Large skins will require more liquid, as they must be covered all thc time, but make it in thc above proportions. When they arc taken out, ruo and wuiK 'them until they are dry, when they will be very soft and pliable. A cow-hide, with long, black hair, makes a handsome laprobc."

Bolls about ready to open are attacked and within a week these bolls have been destroyed JO the extent of: two-thirds of a bale per.acre. - While many previous sea mus have been marked by the destruo ii ve work of tho boll worth and Mexi? ian weevil, I have never seen a sea son or Urae~"when the work of tho pests was as sudden and as destructive is it has been the past two weeks. My individual crop two weeks ago promised to make a bale per acrd Now I have literally nothing to ?base in estimate on. If we make any cot ton it will be a September crop, and that ls very uncertain. It is a fortu nate thing for us that we have a record-breaking cor'u crop. I am afraid the making of cotton ls a tblng-of-the past with Texas unless we get some remedy to control the pest." A Volcano l'or Sale. Tho Mexican Volcano Popocatepetl ls ! for sale, its owner offering to sell it for $0,000,000. The value of this vol cano lies in thc immense deposits.of sulphur it contains aud the mountain was originally given by the govern ment as a gift to General. Gasper! Sanchez Ochoa In recognition ol' cr-r tain services rendered by him. Re ferring to the value o? this volcano as a sulphur ni!ni, Page's Magazine says: Two parties arc ?eol?ied lo bj bid ding for it, ono backed by John D. Rockefeller and the other liv .lohn P, and Samuel Grem, ot' 1 'ii Isl iiiVg, There arc two schemes by which it is proposed to work thc sulphur minc. One is to tunnel into thc volcano at about.GOO yards below the crater, and to remove the sulphur by a cable con veyor carrying buckets 100 feet apart. These will dip into the red hot molten sulphur and bring it gilt,' the buckets travelling 200 feet per minute. The estimated cost of this equipment is about 8500,000. The other scheme proposes to send a cogwheelcd railway over the Hp of the crater down Into I thc sulphur lake, but it is questionable if sullicient foundation is available to sustain thc heavy support that would bc necessary. For many generations this sulphur has been mined in a crude fashion, and it is believed to bc in exhaustible. Ita market price ab present ?3 340 per ton. Volcano sul phur from Sicllly has in the past fur nished the principal supply." No Ubo for Such. .Occasionally one will hear tlie re mark; "Iwish 1 was out sf this town" and then one feels like saying, "I wish you were, too," for a man who, stands on the street comers, chewing and spitting, telling obscene stories, cursing the town, finding fault with bis . grand mother because she was a woman, claiming that the merchants are a lot of thieves, that the" lawyers"] arid newspaper men Would skin a man tb. a ?ulsh and a whole lot more, is a nuisance and au abomination. Ahy town pestered with one or more of ' these worthless' would be justified in I exercising cowhide authority on thc I bosom of their pants. No one ls obliged to live where lie is not suited. If one hasn't a helpful word for the I business enterprise and institutions! of his town he should "go way back and sit down." If things don't suit) you, move to where they do. A growler and a sore head in a town is an en terprise killer every time. It would pay a town to donate $5 and tell him to move. TnE Charleston Post says: "Bryan ism seems to be in pretty full swing in Ohio, under thc radical Tom John sons' direction, but the nominee for] Attorney General on thc ticket with Tom is a Democrat who supported Mc Kinley in 18!)l>, and thc convention's choice for United States Senator is a man who was a Palmer and Buckner Democrat in thc same year. Col. Bryan is due in the State very soon to speak foi'the ticket, and he will ap l pear first on thc same platform with the candidate for lianna's scat. It will be very interesting and amusing to sec how he will endorse thc 'assis tant Republican.' " Very likely the assistant Republican has repented." "GovicuN'on Bliss, of Michigan,'' says tlie Ru if alo Express, "lias refused to honor a requisition for a negro who is wanted in Georgia for murder. The likelihood that thc man would bc lynched if returned to Georgia is be lieved to bc the reason. This is thc way a State pays the penalty for a lawless reputation." Which Stale? asks thc News and Courier. Our co temparary then says Georgia would haye nb particular reason to complain if Michigan welcomed and harbored all her fugitive elimin?is. If Gover nor Bliss covets ihat order of citizens for his Commonwealth let, him have all lie wants. BKKKKICTAIIY cadets at t he Charles-1 ton citadel are required tosign a bond that they will teach two years in thc public schools of tile state. This agree ment is often violated and a case came I before Superintendent Martin recent ly of a young man, who after gradua tion did not teach for two years. When tho authorit ies look thc matter up tlie young niau-claimed that he was now exempt. The assistant at torney !general, however, advised Mr. Martin that the young man could still he made to teach and would be liable fur lour years tuition at ??riO per your should he refuse.

BOIL ALL THU WATER.-A patient recently came down with typhoid fever, in whose household it had for years been the custom to boil all the water used for drinking purposes. As the patient had not .drunk any-, un boiled water away from home, her family could not understand how she could have acquired the disease, lt was, howover, ascertained that, while the drihking water had been boiled, the family had not boiled that used for washing lettuce, fruit, etc. lt is this point that should be impressed upon the -community.- If the. water, contains typhoid germs, all the water used in the kitchen should be boiled, whether it be for drinking, for wash ing articles of food, or for cleansing dishes. In cleansing the teeth even the same precaution should be used. TUE News and Courier says: "Pa triotism" has acquired a new signifi cance in this country in thc last forty years or thereabouts. A Brooklyn regiment is claiming a month's wages under the Act of 1891) giving to soldiers who rendered service after the expira tion of their enlistments for the Yanko-Spanko war. Thc claims of the regiment, as explained by a local paper, " consist in its having appaled for one muster at its armory before dismissal. The muster consumed an hour and a half."
