The Hon. William ifannibal Thomas out-Hcrods tlcrod in | iiis denunciation of the neuro aud The New York Sun seems to indorse liim. Thomas is ti negro freeborn iu Ohio, but came down to South Carolina and served in the carpetbag Legislature during the reconstruction period und afterwards held judicial olliee, and says in the preface to his book that lie has been studying- the negro for thirty yi s and is more and more confirmed ill bis opinion that there i> no '.rood in him?neither socially, morally, in dustrially or politically. His remark able hook has recently issued from the J well-known press of the Macmillau Co., in New York, aud The New York Sun devotes a good part of a page in reviewing it. The author says the race is slowly, but surely degenerating?that the ne gro is by nature a savage With an in born ferocity and knows no such emo tion as mercy?that lie is n beast in his domestic rclalii ns and will sell the. virtue of Ins wife or Iiis daughters and lose no social position among his peo ple or in his chinch. That the negro preachers arc the worst of tho race. They stalk into negro sanctuaries, overshadow the pews, invade the pre clnla of domestic life and despoil tho family and yoke virgin innocence with brazen guili. That the negro churches are debauching rendezvous. That ne gro religion is :?. farce and worthless to reform or regenerate them, and the most heinous crimes are committed by those who read and write and are members of negro churches. He says that the negro is a brute ill the com mission of crime and is i crav.n coward after it is committed and wl en caught and punished believes himseli ii martyr, and if he escapes the galloWE would repeat his crime with no sense of wrong doing. He has no conccp lion of virtue or truth, no fear of hel or damnation, but With tho hangman': rope around his neck is going slraigb to heaven. The author mildly condemns lynch log for cortaill outrages, not because i is cruel or illegal, but because it doe: not deter other ncgtocs from sitnila O<llrag08. lie says, however, that hi has no' yet found that an innoeen man I..is ever been lynched. Head VOCalOS force as the only practical re niody for the negro?force?control subjection lO tho white race, not in i stale of slaveiy as before the war, bu in one of fear and obedience. II goes still further and suggests the ex termination of the inferior elements o the race because it is belief to hav individual extermination than race ex thiction. Hut space forbids more o these anathemas, and the wonder i thai the book was written by a near of the. North and that a repul h publishing house would chaperon it be fore the Northern people and that Northern editor, who lias been fo years and years lampooning the South crn people about the negro, shoul now give this book his quasi indorse mont. What does all this mean ? \\ knew that they did not love the negr at Akron and I'ana, nor iu the slum of New York city, hut we thought h was still safe in the sanctum sanetorun of Republican editors. What is be hind this new dcpartnie? An agent lias recently been to on town distributing sensational circular about a new book just issued in St I.ouis, iu which the author asserts the tho negro is a beast and he. tries I prove it by the Bible as well as b scientific research. This book is but revival of a former book called "Ariel,' and published about thirty years ago It is rothroslling of old straw, im seems to be a brand new doctrine ii] North and lias the indorsement o numerous preachers and college pro fessors. One preacher up in Main says that if it had been written fort yeaHS ago there would have been n< civil war, for their people would no have fought for the freedom of a lot o beasts. Then again I see in a recen editorial in a Republican paper an evi deuce of weakness and reaction abou the negro and the editor asks, " Cat it he possible, that the two hundiei millions of money sent by the Nortl to educate the Southern negro has al been wasted?-' Apologies are now ii order. In addition to all this it has been as sorted by those who know, that Mi McKinley lias changed front, and lha no more negroes will he appointed t< olliee. Js the North about to abandot the negro and turn him over to tin mercy of his former masters? If so the negro will he the gainer, and s< will the Smith. That is all we hav< asked for all these years -just to In let alone. They were our negroes he fore tho war and they are our negroes yet. Wo don't give them office noi allow them to sit on our juries, not ride in our ears, nor lind lodging it our hotels, nor take pews iu oui churches, and but for Northern inter ference they would not have been al lowed to vote, eil her State or national or municipal, bul we pay them fot their labor and give them a fair educa tion. Hut for fear of shocking oui Northern friends the whipping post would have long since, been the force that Thomas says must he used, and then the ?,000 that are in the State and county chaiugangs of Georgia would have been reduced to 500 or a less number. A bad negro who fears not God nor regards man, cares not a great deal for the gallows and less for the chaingang, and nothing for a term in jail, but he does dread a good whip ping. We old masters all remember lhat. One good whipping will last a negro for years. The chaingang ef fects no reform and does not last six months. Hut the average negro does "Aw not need corporal punishment often; of tho he needs a boss. Machl Thomas iu right when bo declares she c that they arc getting worse instead of f}rH; belter, especially in the towns and n'V cities. Head the Atlanta papers and i ask the Atlanta police. Ask .lodge Hroylcs to compare the records of Iiis court. Ask the judge and solicitor of nny court. They are growing worso everywhere, except on the farms and plantations, where they are controlled by landlords, who an; nearly as much their masters as in the olden times. If they don't use physical force thoy exercise a will power that exacts the utmost obedience. The landlord is the boss. Thomas is right when ho asserts that they have no conception of do mestic virtue and morality. They ? seldom marry according to law, but just takj Up and quit when thoy feol like it. Thero nro moro negro child . ren in Uiis town and ovcry other town 'who are born out of wedlock than those Who uro born in it. Neither I f mau nor wife nor church member loses caste for notorious infidelity to the 11 marriage relation. As Thomas Bays most of the preachers ore on ilmt lino. Bight negro proachors are now iu our Stale chaitlgaug and as many more in the county yangs. 1 asked a no; the other day What they tinned their I I preacher off for, and ho said '? it were lor some onrcglaritlos." Some of our UOgro school teachers ircl the same re putation and have to step down and OUt. We had one. here n few years BgO who was highly educated and wrote a beautiful letter, but he got to kidnaping little things and ran away iu (he night und dideut stop until be got to Africa ami was made a bishop. Hut Thomas does not tell us how to exterminate them, nor where to draw the Mne between the Interior ( lasses ami those who shall be allowed to live and multiply. He exhausts his indig nation Without doiluiug the mode ami manner of the remedy. I suppose we ?night transport the men and boys over to the Philippines mid turn the army loose upon them, but that would be ex pensive, or we might drive them out West and let them starve to death or be killed off by the Indians. Anyway I would satisfy Thomas if it cxtcrmi i naled all the bad ones. We arc doing reasonably well on that line, for bo I sides the lynching* for the usual cl inic, which I hope will be kept up diligent* ly, we have retired about 0,000 to private life in the chaingangs of Geo? gia, and 15,000 more in other Southern I States. That amounts to a par Hid extermi nation and is better, for we net their labor during the process. Wo ought I to take, up every trilling vagabond ami i send him there, for idleness is the ( parent of vice and crime. If he had : done BOmeihiug send him for doing it and if be bndcnl done anything then send him for doiug nothiug. And as for those snatch thicvos who are pur suing and rohbiug the ladies of Atlanta 1 WOUldent send them to the chultlgaug loiLil they had been whipped once a week for a mouth. Force is the thing - -the force of a cowhide on the naked skin. That is the remedy for black and white in Delaware, and neither a snatch thief nor a bank robber dan s to stop in the State. They hurry through to another Slate whore there is uo whipping post. When we get a Legislature that has got wisdom and moral courage onough to extermiuate the (logs ami protect the sheep they will re-establish the whipping post. Hut about the Heasty book that says the negro has no soul. I suppose it was manufactured to sell and fool somebpoy. As my niizgor Hob once said to Naher Freeman: u F.flcii a white man got n soul and a nigger haint got no soul how about a mob later?" That's a conundrum. And how about the Indians ami Chinese and Cubans and the Arabs, How much coloring doc i it lake to germi nate a soul? How about Mich higll minded philanthropic negroes as Hook er Washington, President Councill, l'.ishop Haines, liisbop Turner and the bishop of Louisiana, who are doing their utmost to reform their race. I had rather risk them and many othei good negroes for souls and salvation than many a white man I know. How about my faithful Tip, who was born and raised iu our family and lias been loyal and loving to his mistress and her children all these years, and how about old-time servants in almost every family who owned negroes and whose devotion never died whou free dorn came ? No. Let Thomas and Company write books to perplex the North and make money for themselves, but let u and our negroes alone. .lust keej hands off and we will manage them. We need them in our Heids and fur naces and mines and on our railroads Hut lor their labor as slaves the South would have been llfty y ears behind in the clearing of our forests, building our railroads and developing OUI mineral resources. Hut for them tlii. South would be inundated will) a honk of foreigners who bliug with them all sorts of isms and religions and strikes. The negro has Iiis faults, but if Ihm presence will keep immigrants away it will be a blessing. It is slill the destiny of the South to perpetuate an uncontaminaled white race who wil! save liie republic from anarchy and ruin or from imperialism. Hi i.:. A Iii?. 1*.

Christian Herald, New York. Few religious sects have appeared so little in public print as the Mennon iles, although they have been a unique, disticl force in the world's spiritual life since the days of Luther, of whom Menno-Simon, leader of the seel, was a contemporary. They have been in this country since 1083, ami there are now sonic 110,000 of them here, and over 10,000 in Canada, The fact that they are branching out in foreign missionary work (a field in which they have been comparatively inoperative) and their recent activity In India relief?they sent many car loads of corn and much money last summer to India through the Christian Herald has awakened interests in many people who seem to have heard little or nothing of them. Through the courtesy of Dr De.wilt IL Good, of Dale lOnterpiise, Vs., the Christian Herald presents the following facts, compiled for this paper by Hishop L. J. HeatWOle, of the Middle District Virginia conference " Meiinonites, previous to the year 1800, bad never made public any state ment of their work, at which time, re ports as lo their numbers, doctrines and tenets ol faith, were tendered for use by the United States census of ficials. The custom, from time im memorial, has prevailed among them to go about tilings in a quiet way, and they have never followed the custom of publishing an account of their work or the number of their communicants. With them the evangelical life is re duced lo a principle that requires not only separation but also distinction from the world. With respect to this outward distictivo form, such as the 44 prayer head-covering" for women and the peculiar regulation dress for men, these people have maintained througho.it all their generations the attil ? le of sober singularity before the world. The first authentic account of any settlement of Mennonites in America is that of a body of somo twenty-live members, who located at Gormnntown, Pa., October (i, liis.'i, coming thither from Holstein on tlio invitation of William Ponn. The colony increased, and its members enmo under the notice of the neighbors aa being vciy.simpio in their habits and modo of lifo : as adhering, like the Quakers themselves, to plain, modest nppniol; as being slow } to abandon the customs of their foro uthers, and not readily adopting in-] lovalious ?'i any kind. With tho ?K aiving out of tlu Revolutionary war, hore were forty-two meeting-houses n Pennsylvania. Congregations uro iow located in at least twenty-live Hales, und in the Canadian provinces. All Menuouttos recognize the Con 'easion of Faith, consisting of eighteen trllcles, which was trained and adopt .I April 21, 1082, nt the City of Doit, n Holland. In addition to the prinei iles set forth in Baptism and the sacra nent of bread and wine, tliis con fCS don also on joins tho ordinance of | Pool*Washing, enjoins marriage only between inombers of tho tamo faith, prohibits membership In sei ret organi sations, forbids the taking of oaths, and impresses upon Menuouitos llie iloetrine of UOU-rosistaUCO. The communion is observed twice a year, livery intending participant is carefully examined separately concern ing his spiritual staudiog, before the day appoiuled for taking tho sacra ment. Immediately after the com munion ol bread and wine, comes the ceremony of foot washing. The mem bers of the sexes perform the olliee among themselves, each iu turn wash ing and wiping the feet of his brother or her sister, and giving at the same time the hand of fellowship and the kiss of peace. Those who perform the duties of the ministry uro < hosen from the congregation to bo served. Should more than one person h : placed iu nomination by the congregation, a day is appointed to choose by lot one. from among the persons nominated, bea cons are chosen in the same manner, and arc ordained to care for the poor and the sick, to adjust matters, and in the absence of the minister to conduct J the sei vice with exhortation ami prayer. Iiishops uro chosen from among the ministers, and ate ordained to administer the rights of baptism and the communion, 10 celebrate the rite of luotrimouy, and to have the pastoral charge of a district ill which tboro are a number of ministers and deacons, all under hu direction." The ministry, except for traveling evangelists, is unealaricd, preachers, deacons and bishops, supporting them selves, as a rule, at their ordinary oc cupations. Their first college ill this country, Klkarl luslitute, Flkart, lnd,and the only one in existence ani -ng the class of which Bishop Iloalwolo writes, was incorporated in IS')."..

PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS Magnificence of MeKinley's Cere mony and Simplicity ot Jefler j sou's ; Tim second inauguration of Prcsidcn McKinley has been the most imposing civil and military demonstration of tlu kind that has taken place in the history I of the republic. The army and the navj : were represented on a large scale ; then I were heavy contingents of the militif ' regiments from adjoining 9tat08, while i many civic, bodies were there to partlcl , pate in the ceremonies. The pageant or whatever it may he called, so far at I expense and representation go, is a tri partite function on the part of the j Federal government, the Btate govern ments and the people. To it, the peo pie contributed most of all iu men and in money. Washington and the elder Adams are the only Presidents not inaugurated in Washington City. The handsome cap ital of today, one of the most beautiful in all the world, was practically a wil deine-1 when the conqueror of the third British Ocorge and his foremost military chieftains drove through it from Mount Vemon in his lumbering coach, to be installed in New Yoik as the first Chief Magistrate. It was called in the old re cords or on the crude maps of the period, Oonogooboaguo. Washington was not inaugurated until April 80, 1780, so that hu is the only I're.ddcnt that did not take the oath of ofUco on the fourth of March. His inauguration was a stately ceremony. There was a llavor of tinsel royalty ab >ut it, but Washing ton was not to blame for that. Every American then living had been accus tomed to that sort of thing, and pre COdeut on a small scale, was followed. It was the beginning of a new govern uient in which the offcCtS of the abso lute control of the people was an un solved problem. That was then tho greatest of all problems in government Washington, in submitting to the rules and regulations of the sticklers for gov ernmental etiquette, and his submission to them, against his own judgment and inclination, proved that he was devoted to the genuine Democratic principle. John Adams, when he was Inaugurat ed did not depart in any essential par ticulars from the Washington example An historian in describing this transi tion period of republican government as it is now understood, writcB: "There was certainly then a degree of cor imony observed, rctlecting somowhat tae pa geantry of European courts, which has not since been continued. President Washington every fine day walked out. Two aides accompanied him, who were kept at a respectful distance, never on gaging in conversation. Ho had thice very splendid cairiagcs. He drovo to church with two horses, into the coun try with four; and six magniliccnt cream colored chargors drew him to the Senate. His sorvants woro a livery of white, trimmed with scarlet or orango. Both Washington and Adams wero 'gentlemen of the old school,' reserved and somowb'.t stately in courtesy. An oyowltnesa describes tho scono presented as Washington oponod a session of Con gress. An immense crowd filled tho itreet through which he was to pass. \s he left his carriage, ho ascended the itepa <>f tbo od)(1 co, and paused upon the 1) per platform. There he stood for a nomeut, distinct'y seen by everybody llo stood in all Ids civic dignity and moral grandeur, erect, serene, majestic His costume was a full suit of black vcl vet -. his hair, in ilseif blanched by time, powdered to snowy whiteness a dress jword at his .side, and his hat held in his hand Thus he stood in silence, and what moments those were ' Through mit the dense crowd profound stillncs-? reigned. Not a word was heard, not ft breath. Palpitations look the place of sounds. It was a fooling infinitely be yond that which vents itself in shouts." Jefferson's election to the Presidency brought with it a revolution Cream colored ohargoru went out of fashion Liveried lacqueys in white, scarlet or orange ti huntings, found themselves without occupation. Simple messages to Congress were substituted for " speeches " from tho republican throne Knglisu parliamentary precedent was abolished. A. President with a sword buckled to hiss' 'e disappeared forever And so it ha* inaincd over since, it was a change for the better : for it up lifted American manhood and Ameri can citizenship to n dignity that had not been heretofore achieved, and that since has not la-en lost, but, on the contrary, has gained fresh strength in the evolu tion of the ye in. The greal founder of the old Democ racy was the first President inaugurated in the national capital His accession was a Btupondoas event in all world history, for It gave an Irresistible direc tion to a COUtllot that is as old almost as humanity itself, and that, apparently : will continue through all time. His I inauguration was what has boon called I in derision 'simple." True, it was I "simp o" so far as he was concerned, but it meant the recognition of the j sovereignty of the people And be ! cause Of this fact what he then did lias been outrageous'/ falsified by historians i hostile to the ptincipllS for which he stood and for which lie, of all men that ever lived stands today. A large nuin her of these w riters with the purpose of casting ridicu'o on Jofforson assert that "he rode to the capitol, hitohc 1 his horse to the palings and walked in to take tin! oath of ofllco." Ho did nothing of the kind Lodging near the splendid building, he walked to it accompanied by a few friends, and went through the ceremony in the Senate chamber where for the four preceding years lie had pre sided as vice president And there and then ho read the very greatest inaugural address that has yet been made. Tin princ iples it laid down have preserved the republic and arc to popular govern meat what the sermon on tho mount is to Christianity. NEGRO AS A LABOR MACHINE The Race is Warned to Keep Awaj From Polities and Get to Work. Chicago Times-Herald.

"The truth is white men will not stun crimes against their women. And wh ever hoard of negro crimes upon whit women before the war? They did no exist. When the greatest American Abraham Lincoln, signed the emanci patlon proclamation by a stroke of th ? pen l 000,000 ignorant, childish, semi - savage black men became free to orde their own lives.

"The people of the town hail arranged a sort of eolobratlon or reception in j honor of the boys who had returned j t Ota Cuba These boys had all set a i 'rei'.'ice' in the late Spanish American i ? war 1 and they were full of experiences, i Especially experiences about bad treat I Dient, bad food ; having to sleep on one | or two occasions 00 the cold ground with nothing but an oil oloth and blaukot I to wrap up in During the dinner or barbecue the young ' veterans ' were tell 1 ing their experiences and graphically relating all the ' horrors ' of the Cuban i campaign. " Among the auditors who were guests at the reception were several old Con federate veterans, old gri/./ly fellows who had seen service with Lee in Vir giuia and who had gone barefooted dur ing a winter campaign, slept on the fro/en ground or in snow many a time without covering and lived on a quarter of a pound of meat a day, with rye coffee as an occasional luxury Th030 old vets had listened intently to the 'experiences' of the boys just back from Cuba, but hadn't said anything Finally one of them was called on to tell some of his experiences during the civil war Prob ably he didn't think they amounted to much or probably he didn't think it would be right to spring them at that particular time, after what had gone be fore The crowd insisted, and finally he said that while he didn't have In stock any ' experiences' worth relating or that really amounted to, very much as war stories, he would tell them of a dream he had a few nights before. "' 1 dreamed that I died and went to Heaven,' he said.

Bis Apology Paii.kd.?A fashionably attired woman walked along Charles ; street the other morning with a small black dog, which appeared to take a de . light in darting from one side of the sidewalk to the other,says the Baltimore Sun. Several pedestrians narrowly averted a collision with the dog by most amusing (to others) and ungraceful atll letic exhibitions. Finally the heavy foot of a young man, hurrying in the oppo site direction, came in violent contact with the dog's ribs and the little, animal was sent howling into the gutter. The woman shrieked and gathered her pet in her arms, pressing her fair cheek against it and murmuring words of pity The young man b UShod, made an awk ward bow and stammered: " I beg your pardon, miss. Please ex cuse my awkwardness. If I have killed your dog I'll replace it." In tones that fairly liquefied the sur rounding air the woman retorted : "In deed, you Hatter yourself.'' ?

TILlvMAN S OWN STATEMENT Explains Action of Democrats He Was Working for Charleston. Senator Tilltnau was in attendance upon a meeting of Hie Clemaon hoard of trustees a few days ago, and when he was asked by Mr. W. II. MeCaw for an interview regarding his attitude in the Senate in reference to the Cuban, Phi ip pine and Charleston Exposition matters, he was disposed to ho contemptuous and indiffcront, saying he was tiled answer ing '.he jokes and attacks of those daily papers which had always opposud him and whose stuff the people of the Statu seldom regarded seriously. Perhaps the fact that the m ?n of the pitchfork had not then breakfasted had some influence on Iiis naturally gentle disposition. However, alter reflecting that the people of the State inigtit want some iuforma lion the Senator consented to talk, though briefly. " The question of why the Democratic minority did not resist the Cuban and Philippine amendments has been set forth very clearly in the Congressional Record. It is not to be wondered at that these newspaper editors nave taken the wrong view, as they depend on the Associated Press synopsis which is very meagre necessarily, and often co'oredto suit the Republicans. ? In a consultation among the Demo cratic Senators lb ore whs a difference of opinion as to 'he advisability of Ii ilnis I tering. The Philippine fttnontlmout was ' j allot od to our satisfaction as far as any ' such scheme could be made satisfactory --by prohibiting the sale of land, lumber, mines, etc., ami forbidding any perma nent franchises, so that carbet baggers who may bo sent there to administer a so-called civil government will be very much hampered in their purposes to loot tho islands. ?' So far as the Cuban amendment was concerned, the minority was hampered by the fact that our members of that committee, Messrs Money and Teller, and the latter was the author of our Cuban war pledge, had acquiesced ill a large measure With the proposed legisla tion. They had secured a much more moderate and satisfactory programme than had originally been proposed by the Republicans, and while not entirely satisfactory thoy assured us that the Republicans in r.n extra session where they would have a free hand would be still more exacting in their demands. "The Democrats and their allies among the Populists and Silver Republicans were, therefore, confronted with this situation : The next Congress, being overwhcliningly Republican, with larger majorities in both branches, could he re lieii onto do Mr. McKinlcy's bidding, and in addition to carrying out the Origl nal programme in regard to the Phi ip pines and Cuba, there was Almost a cer tainty that it would have passed tho ship subsidy bill. For in addition to this a protracted filibuster causing an extra session would have given them an ex cuse lo change the rules and provide for cloturo. As it is, Senator Platl lias introduced a resolution looking to such a change I think it won't be carried now, but it certainly would have suc ceeded if wo had acted as my critics desired. " So we as a minority hud to consider whether we could ultimately resist the proposed betrayal of Oul II and exploita lion of the Philippines successful')' in the extra session, and it appeared wiser to fully expose the infan ics of the two amendments and then allow a vote " I did w hat I could," said the Sena tor concluding as the breakfast hell rang, " in a legitimate, decent way, to get the appropriation for Charleston, and there was practically no opposition in the Senate. The opposition was in the House." " I gave no pledges and received none," continued Mr. Tillman, warming up a bit and pulling on that tierce look of his "All of the 'honorable' and 1 reliable ' correspondents who have been quoted to prove thecontiary are Ropuh beans who are quick to llyblow Demo cratie. Senators. Their lies would not be paraded in ear papers except that M is done by those who have alwny., hated and lied on me." " Shall I say that you are pleased with the i urn of affairs in Andel s >n ? ' " Oh, yes. I am glad tor the impres sion it will make outside the Slate, to see the brave, linn, sensible attitude taken by the court and tho jury. For a still belter effect along this line I would like to have seen indictments at once handed out. We want the outside world to sec and know that we arc able and willing to deal with the. matter. Out '?'do interference from the United Slates government is ready to come in, if we fail to do our full duty in Stamping out the infamy and punishing tho wrong doers."
