p . Til E MHilC OP I.4WLESS. N ESS. It ip strange that men fail to recognize in human life the operitiuuh 1 ptiiicipleo which are so roudiiy admitted in the realm of physical science. That large oaks from little actons grow, that as the twig is bent s<> will the tree become, that tne boy id fattier to the man? tiit se are old nai ittws expressed | iu lime worn adages. Small bo gainings at e seen every where ami the process of development is uuivei <aily observed. Men do not tuaivel that great treea have come from tiny acorns nor that a man has developed from a boy. Should, however, a tree spring) up in a single night or a man of I mature statue and mind appear in a moment there wonld justly be wonder and consternation. Why not apply these truths to sociological conditions? i'ublic senuuiout is annulled hv a das tardly uHBHHsinationandstill more horrifi d by the judical justifi cation of a red handed, blackhear!ri murderer. But is the condi tjou which makds such thi n>.Ts possible the product of ^ moment? Or is it the inevitable and logical result of an cvolu tiouuiy process? Can wo not fiuJ ilie genesis of this condition deen looted in our social life? The law, human and divine, has been defied and violated, and that defiance and violation have beeu excused. The taking of human life, the highest crime kuown to man and God, has been condoned, and the guilty has been permitted to go unwbipped of juatico. The horror of the doed and the injustice of the veidtci have shocked and stunned a State and a nation. But why ? Have we not accustomed ourselves to minor violations ot the law? Are these not the foun dation, the genesis, of greater and more flagrant violations, leadirig inevitably to the greatest and most, flagrant ? It our people would wipe out the blood guiltiness which now stains our State they must take a stand v for the strict obscrvauce ond euV fore incut of every law, large and small, important and unim portaat;they must demaud the sure, swift and adequate punish maul r\f u 1) low keAolr/??? v w? m<i in n ?yi ranuin, Ul?ll . and low, groat and small, powerfu! and influential?all alike. There must be no discrimination in the courts, no blinking nor blinding of justice, but a stern, unwavering adherence to the great foundation principles which protect our institutions from anarchy. To be specific, not only the law against murder must be enforced and murderers punished, but the statutes against assaults, against fraudulent practices, against stealing, against the carrying of Hao ,w, ? ? ' vj. c-.i.j v?t-aywiltt, UJlIlg, [lie ( illegal sale of whiskey?these) ami others must be enforced to the letter. At the same time, we must require of persons in public, office the strictest adherance to the terms of their oaths of office, compelling them both to observe the laws themselves and to enforce ihetn nzainPt others. It is only in this way that our gociet.v can be insured against anarchy. We must begin at the bottom and build up a senti mei f which will condemn l?w. lepf..cPH in ita every phraae ami compel obedience to every lefc.il! enactment.?

While on a trip over into North Carolina last summer, an old darkey that worked on the pluuta tion where the writer was partly raised, came several miles to town for no other purpose than ? . ~ I I. _ I i_ :.L IT | in nnunw IW1I1UIS Willi US. HIS wile also came with him. The hearty grasp of his black hand, made rough by toil, told more eloqueutly than any words or tongue that, deep down in his heart he was also glad to see lis. For two hours or more he sat un|der the shade of the back porch of a respectable white lady and chatted with us of old times. To deny that we enjoyed the reminiscences would be to falsify. And yet there was no social equality in it. None at all. There was no unwarranted embracing of colored Deonle bv a white man, no intrusion by a colored man into the presence ot a white man. It our friends at the North could (or a moment, understand this feeling that exists between the whites ot I he South and the blacks, they would not bother about the race question. If they could understand the feelind that compels the whiles to rise up in their wrath against the unmentionable crime of tho black brute they would not raise their voice in denunciation. Hut, thank heaven, all the negroes of the South are not black brutes?no not. by any means?and those who respect theniseivas and others are in turn respected and protected, and, wo might say, loved by fhr-ir white friends.?

Washington, October 20.?The disagreement between Russia and Jqnqn !|i?1 utter breakdown of the much heralded "open door" in Mancnuria has alarmed the export merchants of the United States, and they have sounded a r.r to of warning to I'rcridc::? Roosevelt and tho Republican j leaders, thai instead of aidimr I lie! enlargement 01 our business 1111 Asia, tliey have virtually closed the door that was at least partly open. That Russia will ever withdraw from Manchuria is not within the realm of probability; she owns the railroads and the banks there; the Chinese authorities are subservient to the Russian representatives ; in a word, Manchuria is Russianized. The boast of the administration that the treaty just concluded with China gives us two open ports in that country is, therefore, worthless, unless Russia opens their doors, for she has the key to both of them. Even it these two ports were opeu, are they of any value? Mookden, one of the two. is on a small river 100 miles Iroin the! tea, accessible by a scow, and Niu Chwang, at the moulh ol the stream, is occupied by the Russians. The other is a village on the coast, but there is no harbor, and su shoal is the ? lliug that no man-of-war could approach within 20 miles. The merchant who tries to get any trade through these "open doors" will not bless John ilay and the Republican party. The Sugar Trust, having bought a controlling interest in its competitor, the Beet Sugar Trust, the light so long waged between the Republican factions over Cuban reciprocity will probably cease. The reduction in the* duty on sugar for which Cuban reciprocity provides, will give the combined trust hit enormous bonus,amounting to millions of dollars on all the raw sugar imported from Cuba and, under the laws of trade, the price of refined sugar should decline at the same ratio. Hut the trust is so fully protected by the duty of about one and one quarter cents a pound on refined sugar that the foreign article can hardly be imported here to compete with the trust. Freight, tariff duty and other charges make the cost of importing foreign refined sugar about equal to the trust price. If raw and refined sugar paid the same duty, the trust would have to reduce its price accordingly and the consumers of the United States would buy their sugar at retail for at least one cent a pound less than they now pay tor it. That, is the reason the Democrats in the last congress proposed and passed through the house of rep resentatives the amendment to the Cuban Reciprocity Hill abolishing the extra tariIT duly on re fined sugar, which is technically called the discriminating duty. When the Cuban reciprocity measure comes up at the coming session of Congress, the Democrats will olfer the same amendments. How many republicans will be found voting withi them? The issue will be a plain | one?the trust or the people. Confessions of a Priest. Rev. J no. S. Cox,of Wake, Ark., write?, "For 12 yearn I suffered from Yellow Jaundice.
