i i f The South and the Negro. In an address delivered in Chatta 3iooga last week on "The "War," Sena tor Foraker made some remarks on the present phase of the negro ques? tion. It would have been difficult for any Northern speaker in Mr. Fora? ger's place-it was clearly impossible for him-to refrain from animadvert? ing on the brutality of the solution which had been offered by Senator Tillman. Without naming that ora? tor. Senator Foraker denounced the notion of deporting the blacks as both chimerical and undesirable, and added, especially to Senator Tillman's address: "The thought of exterminating him is a thousand times worse, and mere talk ?bbut it, no matter how idle it may be. a shocking moral crime." Senator Foraker's remarks were loubtless well meant. But they seem ?. - been rather extensively ill ta? vern The tendency of his discourses was to put the responsibility for ra? cial disturbances in the South almost | exclusively upon the whites. The .whites, or many of them, resent this. And doubtless they resent it the more as coming from a Northern man. In truth they are especially sensitive sSbout being lectured by Northerners .hat they regard as an ex clusively Southern question, with ! which they are much more com-j jpetent to deal than a stranger. ? There has since been in Chatta? nooga the Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, w?r'rh has been signalized by a re? port from the "Committee on the i?$a?e of the Country."." It is the au . artic diagnosis of the race troubles .in the South made by a number cf leaders of the colored race. The first -cause assigned by the committee for 'the increase of crime among their :race is the dislocation of Southern "industries caused by the war. The great works undertaken in the : reconstruction Of the South in cr e way of railroading and mining j attracted large bands of negroes from their plantations, and accustomed the "workers to a roving life. A great ^proportion of them became vaga "fconds and tramps. "From this class." says the committee, "come our rap? ists, murderers, and other vile char? acters." The increase of crime is due in the second place to' "the fact that since emancipation parents vave failed to train their children in habits j or ohedience,honesty,"truthfulness and ? i industry." The negro ministers are l :aIso accused of appealing more to the j -emotions than to The conscience and j ::*vc ?aile-J. "to ii-cic?tc the do ctr . - b X the Christian religion and mor- | ality go hand in hand." With regard to the remedy the : o Timittee . is equally outspoken. It ins its resolutions with a denunci n of crime of every kind or degree ar. ? "looks with inexpressible abhor? rence and loatning upon assaults up? on women," adding that "no legal pm shment of the brutal crime can be -oo severe and speedy." It goes equally to denounce "mob vio lenee? as subversive of society. It r ::iises to assist the civil authori _ . in bringing to justice criminals ol : :e colored race, praises the South .... Governors who have endeavored ?aintain- the reign of law and to pro ?ct prisoners and concludes by iring and deprecating any ini? on to the North of the negroes the South. "In this critical period >f the negro's history we nee.i eve^y erving moral and religious in? ce here in the South, where the . of the negro in this country L? . : y to be determined." . ls true that the report was n**t a&'pted, the Conference being p.\> \y of the opinion th:;? it assumed i heir race too larg? a share of .lame for whatever is amiss 'n the elations of the races.

France and Italy Form Defensive Alliance-Already an Al? most Dominating Factor in the Europcan Situation-It Is thc Out? come of the Destruction of thc Bal? ance of Power Due to the Victory of Japan Over Russia. London, Oct. 26.-The close secre? cy which for a considerable time has surrounded an event of first magni? tude in international politics will be proven by the announcement "vwhich The News and Courier correspondent is'permitted to make today. A mili? tary convention, which in effect amounts to a full defensive allianct. between Great Britain, France and Italy. This momentous instrument has not nominally come into effect as 3-et, but in reality it is already an almost dominating factor in the European situation. It becomes op? erative whenever . the triple alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, or rather the three treaties usually grouped under that designa? tion, shall expire "either by expiration of time or by any other cause." This grouping of great powers is a natural outcome of the destruction of the balance of power in Eu ropes conse? quent upon paralysis of Russia in the Japanese war. It is an important step in the formation of a league of peace -the great object which King Ed? ward has labored to achieve ever. i since he came to the throne of Great Britain. It has behind it the cordial support of Spain and Portugal. There is good reason for believeing that it commands also the sympathy of the United States Government, which has b^en well aware of its inception and purposes. The creation of this new internat? ional compact has been accompanied and followed by serious difficulties and even dangers. First and obvious? ly was the fact that Germany would regard it not only with natural resent? ment, but as a direct menace. It was negotiated on the eve of the Algeciras conference and it can hardly be denied that it was designed to some extent to act in restraint of Germany at that time. Its purpose, however, is in every respect non-ag? gressive and it was and is impossible for the German Emperor to criticise it except by abandoning his oft-pro? fessed love of peace. An -element of danger arose dur? i rig the last summer. A strong anti Iiaii^r: sentiment has been growing in Austria-Hungary for some years. So tig as Italy remained virtually an ally this feeling could scarcely find of? ficial or open expression, especially with Germany exercising a continual influence in restraint of it. Wrhen the internal crisis in Austria-Hun? gary became acute last summer the Austrian Government was at one mo? ment strongly tempted to heal do? mestic dissension by an attack upon Italy-a move which would have been popular in both countries of the dual monarchy. Additional excuse for such an expedient would have been found in a secret military convention which it was learned had been made by Italy with Servia, with whom Aus? trian relations were and still are hostile. Italy learned of this danger and was most anxious to avert it. She was entirely unprepared in a military way for war on her Austrain frontier. She knew that she could not successfully defend Venice and the neighboring provinces. It was in this situation that the interview between King Ed? ward and the German Emperor was arranged, lt is understood in inner diplomatic circles that one of the ob? jects of that conference was to enlist the Kaiser's influence in restraint of Austria's possible aggression. It is now believed that this danger has dis? appeared. The political situation in Europe as a whole is more satisfactory today than it has been for several years. Pessimists point to the fact that the death of the Sultan must be expected within a few months and that the de? mise of Emperor Francis Joseph may create a crisis at any time. But the safeguards of peace grow stronger day by day. Fing Edward's League of Peace should be able very soon to Lear any strain that may be put upon it. ?Here is our condensed opinion of the original Laxative Cough Syrup : "Nearly all other cough syrups are constipating especially those contain? ing opiates.
