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. But it :s
ar? . :spicious sign that euch a repott

NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Great Britain. 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.

Farmers Advised to Refuse to Sell

Columbia, Oct. 30.-The Farmers'
Union issued a statement advising all
members not to sell cotton seed for
less than $20 a ton, and then make

The Union is said to have 10,000
members in fifteen counties. About
100 delegates were present at the an?

A Year of Blood.
?The year 1903 will long be remem?
bered in the home of F. N. Tacket, of
Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood;
which flowed so copiously from Mr.
Tacket's lungs that death seemed
very near. He writes: "Severe bleed?
ing from the lungs and a frightful
cough had brought me at death's
door, when I began taking Dr. King's
New Discovery for consumption, with
the astonishing result that after tak?
ing four bottles I was completely re?
stored and as time has proven perma?
nently cured." Guaranteed for sore

Williams, acting Cashier of the Citi?
zens Bank, committed suicide with a

?The best treatment for indigestion
and trouble <>f the stomach is to rest
the stomach. It can be rested by
starvation or by the use of a good di
gestant which will- digest the food
eaten, thus taking thc work off the
stomach. At the proper tempera?
ture, a single teaspoonful of Kodol
will wholly digest 3,000 grains of
food. It relieves the present annoy- '
ance, puts the stomach in shape to
satisfactorily perform its functions.
