The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. C. S. ROLLS AND PARTY GOING UP IN HIS RACING BALLOON. Mr. Rolls is the pioneer of balloon racing in England. VOL. 22. NO. 49. BALLOON RACE LA OF D Takes Place of Automobile Dangerou Unless all signs fall, the automobile race, though only a few years old, has had its day. The balloon race, the derby in the clouds, is the latest and most exciting test of speed skill. It surpasses the auto contest in every respect. It is more exciting, equally expensive and far more dangerous. There can be no dispute on this latter point. No matter how hard he crashes into anything, the automobile is not far from land when the climax comes, whereas the airship jockey may have to fall a mile or two before he can determine just what damage has been done. Although still in its infancy, interest in the balloon race is spreading rapidly. France, England, Germany and the United States are formost in the new sport, the first-named nation having a slight lead, perhaps, though it was an American who won the most important race that has yet been held, the contest starting from Paris recently. In a balloon race the objectives are distance and time. The balloon that travels the greatest distance from the starting point is the winner, and if two go equally far, then it is the one that there first to which the prize goes. 1. In the United States the promoter of the derby in the air is the Aero Club of New York. The most notable atmospheric greyhounds are the L'Orient, Centaur and Nivrana. Capt. Homer W. Hedge of the Aero club is the captain of the race was held at Pittfield, Mass., and amateur international scale is being planned for St Louis in the near future. Although this country is regarded C. S. ROLLS AND PARTY GOING Mr. Rolls is the pioneer of as the future home of the sport, no American race can yet hope for more than half a dozen contestants, but in Berlin and Paris they have to limit the field, for fifteen or twenty star directors of airships are always eager to enter for every race. Emperor William is deeply interested in in the new sport, and has given his newest promise to the extent of offering cup for the annual races. It is expected that in a short time the race for this trophy will attract just as much attention as battles for the American's cup among yachts, the dorby among horses, or the Vanderbilt cup for automobiles. Races for the kaiser's cup start from Teegel, Germany, where most admirable arrangements have been made, by which it is possible to inflate ten balloons in an hour and a half. In three hours a field of twenty balloons can be ready for the start of a race. Fully 100,000 persons saw the first of these races recently, and with their for miles of travel, they were equipped with detectors in carriages and automobiles. The handling of the race is left to the army battalion corps, and the starters are non-commissioned officers. That the balloon race is not always to the biggest airship was shown in this race, when the victory went to the Ernst, the smallest of the entries. It landed at Brieg, Austria, 200 miles away. The results obtained in the recent race from Paris were much more striking, for the balloons went a greater distance at a higher rate of speed. It was the bit of an American, Frank P. Loon, who is balloon the patriotic title United States. This contest was international in the broadest sense, for the entries included balloons from France, the United States, Italy, Spain, Germany, England and Belgium. Altogether there were fourteen airships to face the starter, and the entries included such world-famous neronauts as Santos-Dumont, who, out of compliment to the New World, named his balloon the Two Americas, Comte de la Vaulx, hero of some of the most notable long distance feats in the history of aerial navigation, Prof. Hunt- ingdon of England and Capt. von Abercorn of Paris. Lieut. Hahm, the American entry, far distanced his competitors, landing at Whitly, Eng., after having crossed the English channel.

He went as far as New Holland, and Comte de la Vaux was the third man, being the leader among the French entries. He landed at Walsingham, Eng. ously over a number of fields, the hoo refusing to catch anywhere. Finally the hook caught in a garden gate. The balloon was brought up with a round turn, the car on one side. UP IN HIS RACING BALLOON. balloon racing in England.

It took Lecut Lleah four hours, from 11 o'clock at night to 3 in the morning, to pass over the choppy stretch of water. When the balloonists related their experiences after the race, there were enough thrilling recitals to do service for half a dozen automobile races. Perhaps the most exciting fell to the lot of Vonwiller, the Italian representative, who finished second. He crossed the English channel in safety and traveled north, everything going well until he saw the North sea and the Humber. Afraid of being carried out to sea, he at once made preparations to land, but unfortunately a gust of wind drove the balloon furli- THE CAPTIVE BALLOONS rt of race. ously over a number of fields, the hook refusing to catch anywhere. Finally the hook caught in a garden gate. The balloon was brought up with a round turn, the car on one side of the house, the bag on the other. It was a position of extreme peril, and the house, chimney and roof were so badly damaged that it took a considerable sum of money to satisfy the claim for damages which the owners of the building promptedly filed. In England balloon racing is becoming an artistry, and its cost money to indulge in this newest of pastimes, for in addition to the value of the balloon, which runs into the thousands, the expense per day is a matter of at least $125, and this does not take into account bills for damages frequently done to dwellings, farm lands and yards during deserts. In England the women are, it possible, even more enthusiastic than the men, and it is said that in the near future London will see the first balloon race with women alone as entries. Winding "Big Ben." The hour and the quarter weights of Big Ben, the clock in the English house of parliament, have to be wound twice a week, the operation taking about five hours in each case. The weight for the quarters is just one ton and a half, and the hour weight is over a ton. The pendulum, thirteen and a half feet long, vibrates once in two seconds, and weighs nearly 700 pounds. Beauty an Inalienable Right. It is certainly amusing in this land of the free to read about a baker's wife who was "unusually pretty for her stater in life." We had always supposed that bakers' wives had a right to be just as pretty as their smart sisters on the boulevards. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

To American women and Washington society the new senators and representatives who make their body in the nation's legislative halls are far less important than the debutantes. These charming young buds getting their introduction to the social life of the capital give the beginning of each session its special best. They are bound to play an important part in the round of amusements, and their appearance, personality, wealth and birth become matters of older conversation long before they arrive. The coming session will see a bigger influx of buds than ever. Not less than forty will enjoy the Bachelors, Sixty Couple and other subscription dances in which preformed is given to the younger set. This double score is drawn from all ranks of Washington life and includes daughters of the cabin-foreign diplomats and American wealth. Theoretically, the bud is entirely green to society, and has scarcely the first understanding of its many usages. If this were true, then the bud would indeed be a person to hold in fear and trembling, an ignorant, untrained, blundering hoyen. But as a matter of fact the bud who enters Washington social life has already learned the accomplishments and is a well trained and tactful woman in everything but years. Many of the girls who will get their formal presentation, this year have been abroad, and some have even been to the leagues of England's king. They come to Washington with an amiable preparation, Misses Teodora and Marguerite, for both were sent at Spring Court in London this year, and at the whole season in the English metropolis, being under the chaperonage of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid which in itself should be a liberal education. One of the real beauties, in fact it predicted for her that she will be the queen of the mail, is Miss Frederic Morgan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs James Morris Morgan. Miss Morgan's father and grandfather were diplomats of high degree and she has a wide acquaintance among the foreign representatives. Undoubtedly her name will take high place in the capital social doings of 1806 and 1907. Newest of all the girls in Washington to who will be presented this season is pretty, tall, willowy Katherine Jernings, who is one of the most win some girls ever introduced from what is known in Washington as the "South African contingent." She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hennen Jennings. Getting the proper equipment to be presented is no small task. In fact, it is only exceeded in difficulty by the trials of the trousseau. Modifiers have to be called on a legion. The debutante tea is the indispensable way of starting the bud on her social career. There are occasional variations, as, for instance, the fancy Bail, similar to the one with which Mrs. Gaff introduced Zaldee Gaff a few years ago. Sometimes the presentation takes the form of a dinner, like that at which Mrs. Postlethwaite made Washington society acquainted with her daughter, now the bride of Henry Ives Cobb. Undoubtedly the stars of the season are bound to be Miss Erma Shaw and the Baroness Elizabeth Rosen, daughter of the Russian ambassador. Miss Elizabeth Rosen came to this town when she arrived as a member of the force commission that settled the Russo-Japanese war at Portsmouth. The fact that she had not yet been presented kept her out of the formal affairs, but in her own set she has already become famous for her beauty, dash and athletic build. She astonished the north shore with her daring swim. ERMA SHAW, THE CABINET GIRL. ming, cross-country riding and tennis playing. The navy department will make a strong contribution to the debauchee ranks. Among them is Miss Eugenie Leutze, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Tugone Leutze of New York. Capt. Leutze is now stationed at the Washington navy yard. Miss Leutze not only talks well, but dances, plays golf and tennis, and is a fine horsewoman. Chief Engineer and Mrs. Henry W. Fitch, U. S. N., will present their daughter, Miss Hearrietta Fitch, who will make the third addition to society from this interesting family. From the marine corps comes Miss Esther Denny, daughter of Col. and Mrs. Frank Lee Denny. Miss Ruth Tanner, daughter of Commander and Mrs. Zera Tanner, adds another navy girl. Probably the best known in this little group of navy debatants is Miss Converse, the daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. George A. Corphee. She is well known in society even now, although, of course, she has become so only through an informal association with her close friends who have already had the pleasure of being presented. Two daughters of the Panama canal commission, Theodore P. Shonts, will be presented. Millions in Men and Treasure Sacri- ficed on the Altar of Mars.

One of the real beauties, in fact it is predicted for her that she will be the queen of the mall, is Miss Frederica Monroe, Mr. and Mrs. James Morris Morgan. Miss Morgan's father and grandfather were diplomats of high degree, and she has a wide acquaintance among the foreign representatives. Undoubtedly her name will take a high place in the capital social doings of 1906 and 1907. Newest of all the girls in Washington who will be presented this season is pretty, tall, willowy Katherine Jennings, who is one of the most winnome girls ever introduced from what Africa continent was Washington as the "South African continent," it is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hennen Jennings. Getting the proper equipment to be presented is no small task. In fact, it is only exceeded in difficulty by the trials of the rousseau. Modistes and milliners have to be called on a legion of times for a bewildering variety of effects. Many girls who are' coming out in Washington this month spent months in Europe picking out the gowns for afternoon, morning and evening wear, the exquisite lace wraps, footwear for all occasions and all the thousand and one things that make up the tout ensemble. Miss Eleanor Slater is one of these. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Slater of I street. It is said that she brought back a most stunning array of gowns. Other prominent debutantes are Miss Caryl Crawford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Crawford; Miss Elizabeth B Jewett, whose father, R. Dickinson Jewett, built the commanding residence at the junction of Connecticut and Florida, avenues; Miss india Bella Fleming, who spent the summer abroad buying up her "chiffons and laces"; Miss Evelyn Chew, the clever daughter of John Chew; Miss Martha Scott, Miss Mary Dodge, daughter of Harrison H. Dodge, and Miss Jessie Steel, whose cousins, Miss Elsie M. Steel, and Miss Cobb, now Mrs. Bliss, she bids fair for her. There are almost daily additions to the ranks, and there is a surmise that the number of buds calling for floral offerings this year will surpass the season three years ago. Miss India Bell Fleming is the only one of the debutantes who makes her bow as a really engaged girl. Usually this is reserved as a follower of the presentation tea, but Cupid knows no limit, and threw in the way of this MISS INDIA BELL FLEMING. of Europe are devoted to the maintenance of armed forces and to the service of a debt practically the whole of which was incurred by wars. War expenses in Europe absorb one-half of all the wealth created by productive labor. In the comparatively insignificant war of England with the Boers England lost 22,450 men and spent $1,400,000,000. Three hundred and fifty thousand men were withdrawn by her from productive industry to engage in the destruction of war. Military expenditures in the United States during the handsome girl a young Japanese officer, who won her affections. The most important of these functions, the deputy of Miss Shaw, is likely to be one of the least pretentious. It has been the habit of Mrs. Shaw to entertain very quietly, and Washington is not at all certain that she will give a special affair for her daughter's debut.

The Story of a Watchmaker Who Was Repairing It When the War Began. Among the jurors serving in the supreme court last week was one eighty-four years young. This man is Jonathan Dillon of 46 West One Hundred and Seventeenth street. He has been engaged in the watchmaking business for the best part of seventy-four years. Mr. Dillon, who has a remarkable memory and an interesting fund of reminiscence, tells a new story which has to do with Abraham Lincoln. "When the Civil war broke out," said Mr. Dillon, "I was in the employ of M. W. Gait & Co. on Pennsylvania avenue, near Seventh street, in Washington. I was the only union sympathizer working in the shop. "I was working upstairs when Mr. Gait came up. He was very much excited, and gasped: "Dillon, war has begun; the first shot has been fired. "At that moment I had in my hand Abraham Lincoln's watch, which I had been repairing. It was a gold hunting case, English lever watch. The late John Hay told me afterward that it MISS THEODORA SHONTS. was the first watch Mr. Lincoln ever owned. "I was in the act of screwing on the dial when Mr. Galt announced the news. I unscrewed the dial, and with a sharp instrument wrote on the metal beneath: "The first gun is fired. Slavery is dead. Thank God we have a president who at least will try." "Then I signed my name and the date. So far as I know, no one but myself ever saw the inscription, and I do not know into whose hands Mr. Lincoln's watch fell at his death." Mr. Dillon was born in the city of Waterford, Ireland, where his ancestors had been watchmakers for generations. "I have newspapers," he said, "containing my father's and grandfather's advertisements back 150 years. I was never out of work for twenty-four hours at a time until I retired." To Amuse Baby. "Oh, John," said Mrs. Popley, "you must raise a pair of those long side whiskers."

One day at Latin recitation Johnny Jones was so dowray that when the professor asked for the conjugation of a certain verb he failed to catch it, and turning to his bosom friend, inquired: "What verb?" "Damnfo," whispered his classmate. "Damnfo, damnfo, damnfo, damnfo," said Johnny Jones to the horrified professor. JOURNAL IS UNIQUE DIMINUTIVE PERIODICAL PUBLISHED AT WASHINGTON. "Postal Information" Has No Subscription List and No Paid Advertisements, But It Is Widely Circulated and Read. There is a little newspaper published in Washington which modestly lays no claim to having the largest circulation in the city, or, in fact, to any circulation at all, neither does it assert that as an advertising medium its columns will be found of value to our merchants, for no paid advertisements are received, yet it goes right on coming out every week and doing business at the same old stand. The name of this unique and diminutive periodical, as there are but two or three like it in the United States, is Postal Information, and it sees the light every Saturday in the city post office. Postal information is a year old, and though its exchange list can be counted on the hand, and it has no purchase price, it nevertheless is a valuable resource in the field of Washington journalism, and its managers are not worried over the ever-present question of a bonafide, guaranteed paid circulation. Some time ago a small appropriation was obtained, and a plant sufficiently large to get out a folio eight and a half by eleven inches was installed in the basement of the registration division of the city post office. Every Saturday Postal Information "goes to press," being run off on a small electric motor press and set up a day or so previously by one of the employees of the office who understates its matter is "standing," yet most of its matter is new weekly, and altogether it presents a very smart and up-to-date appearance. "We have found this little paper of much service to the officers and employees of the Washington city post office and its stations, for whose benefit Postal Information is published," said an official of the city post office. "We run off weekly about 150 copies, distributing them among the employees of the office where they may be of ready access to all employees, and sending copies to the various stations throughout the city, the respective employees in these stations expected to read it weekly, as it may be conveyed certain notices and orders affecting the service in the city to their attention. "Washington is now one of the larger post offices in the service, having incorporated the various towns within the District in its jurisdiction, with ten named stations, half a dozen or so lettered stations, 64 numbered stations, doing a business of about $1,300,000 annually and ranking third in the per capita use of the mails. It has a regiment of employees numbering about 1,300 in all. "Very often the employees of other post offices wish to secure transfer to the Washington city post office, and vice versa, and where these applications come to our notice we insert paragraphs in Postal information giving the name of the clerk, the post office at which he or she may be stationed, the salary and salary. Any clerk who may be arrested may then address a communication to the master, and frequently the exchange is effected. These requests for transfer to our office come from all over the country, and we have on file now one from as far south as Portsmouth, Va., from Boston, Mass., on the north, and Lincoln, Neb., on the west. "All offenses committed by and penalties imposed upon employees for infraction of the rules are also given weekly, as they serve as reminders to the entire force, as in the instances of carriers being develict in reporting for duty or for failure to record time. All recent fraud orders issued by the department against such concerns are weekly enumerated by name and addresses, etc., and would be money-order purchasers and those who would send registered letters to such firms are warned by the postal clerks. All orders of the Postmaster General and his assistants which it is desired to call to the attention of our force are also published. "A similar little folio of postal information is published in Philadelphia, Pa., under the title of the Post Office News, and the New York office gets out another along the same lines which is called the Official Circular." Real Fonetic Spelling. Fonicetic spelling seems to be gaining in popularity everywhere, and the announcement that the reforms would be adopted in the district government probably had much to do with the plan followed by a dusky "citizenship" of Willow Tree alley in making application to the commissioners for a certain position. Her letter speaks for itself: "District Conlions, "Dear Sir I noticed that you all might be kneeding some female help and not nowing weather you all had ingaged some one or not I thought I would ask you all if it could be possible to make the pleasure as I work work this will be my duty, working out and the reason I have not my mother keeps a little store in willow tree court and it has kept me quite blizz until now and it is so many stores around in this court until it makes business very dull and I am married and have two children to pervide far and I can give you the best rephastion from good biness cidersons I hope you all will help one who wants to get along arnest"—Washington Star.

Distrust all worth have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen be cause the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. President Roosevelt's speech at President Rock, Ark. The St. Paul Pioneer Press has an editorial headed "The Nation Will Stand by the Fifteenth Amendment," which THE APPEAL appreciates very highly on account of its kindly spirit, although it is compelled to dissent from some of the admissions made therein. THE APPEAL cannot admit the adoption of the amendment in its present form was "premature." any more than it would admit that the abolition of slavery was prearranged. On the contrary, it asserts that without the adoption of all three amendments, reconstruction would have been indelibly postponed. The Afro-Americans vote forced the rebels state back into their proper relations to the federal government, and it remains to be PROVEN, though it has often been IMAGINED, that that result could have been attained in any other way. Nor was the immediate result to place "the intelligent white population of a number of Southern states under the rule of a black majority, which dominates the legislatures proceeded to hold a curial of extravagance, corruption and imbecility." That "intelligent white population" never was there. M. H. HON. GEO. B. CORTELYOU Who Will Become Secretary of the Treasure, March 4, 1907 and is not there to this day, if any dependence can be placed upon the official statistics of illiteracy. No black majority ever dominated a single Southern legislature; the Southern States were dominated by white adventurers from the North, who were backed by the federal government and military governors appointed by the President. The adoption by a state of a constitution recognizing certain conditions was made a precedent to the readmission of a state. The remark about "leaving the state to prescribe the conditions other than color for the exercise of the franchise." is decidedly humorous. Louisiana had already prescribed such conditions as the following: "No Negro shall cell barter or exchange any article of merchandise without the special written permission of his employer." and other states had prescribed as bad, or worse conditions. The fourteenth and fifteenth Amendments were absolutely necessary to rescue the Afro-American from the Peonage which the Southern states established so soon as they were allowed to "prescribe the conditions." The New Orleans Piscayne says that what the south wants above everything is a great white population. The Negroes are all right, it declares, if they will work, but they are becoming constantly less reliable. They are crowding to the towns and cities, where they can find opportunities for spasmodic employment, or even to live without any honest work. That paper urges that white labor must be got from the northern states and from foreign countries. On the other hand, according to the Washington Post, it appears as if some of the Afro-Americans do fairly well in the towns and make good use of their "spasmodic employment." It publishes the following statement of Mr. Daniel A. Tompkins, cotton mill owner of Charlotte, N. C., at the Raleigh: "If you mean in respect to disturbing influences," he replied, "we have no race problem. A few of the colored people break the law sometimes but so do some of the white people. The great bulk of the colored people in North Carolina are doing good work, and many are saving money. There are three building and loan associations in Charlotte, and each has a very fair proportion of colored members. Through these agencies many of them own houses. Quite a number also have savings bank accounts." The Washington Herald gives the following: "For my part," said Mr. G. G. Foote, a successful business man and manufacturer of Macon, Ga., at the Riggs House," I would not give up the Negroes for any other sort of labor. I have been employing Negroes all my life, and consider them the very best workers the South could get, unless, possibly, Chinese, who are barred by the law." It strikes THE APPEAL very forcibly that Southerners Nos. 2 and 3 in the foregoing come pretty near to aserting that Southerner No. 1 is doing some of the tallest kind of lying. THE SAVANNAH IDEA. A wealthy and prominent citizen of Savannah, Ga., recently talked with a Herald reporter and expressed his views very frankly, and we give our readers the benefit of a few excerpts. One opinion is as follows: "The very worst use to which you can put a Negro is to educate him." "Throughout the State you will see white children performing manual labor, picking cotton in the country setting as messenger boys in the towns, while the little colored child darn are to be geen loaded down wif books on their way to the school houses. This is not the rightful order but a reversal thereof, and it is harmful to both races." "I think the Negroes the best laborers to be had, and I wouldn't give them for any white workman for the peculiar work we have to do in the peculiar work, as long as I have men they discount any other nationality." The conception of an Afro-American as a human being entitled to all the rights and privileges of any other human being, is something entirely beyond the capacity of some southern men to grasp. Their only idea is that the Afro-American was created for the benefit of his white brother, in accordance with the teachings of the ante-bellum southern pulpit. To people so unfortunately trained, it avails nothing in the way of convincing them that they are opposed to the whole civilized world because they regard themselves as superior beings who know it all. Oh, Columbia, the gem of the ocean. The world offers homage to thee. Well, perhaps it did some years back; but a change seems to have come over the spirit of the aforesaid world's dream, and the homage seems at present, to be somewhat, more or less sinted. Take for an instance, the following: "The Glasgow Herald, perhaps the most influential paper in Scotland, says of the recent race riots in the southern parts of the United States: "The news from Georgia reads like a story of Russian barbarities. If we substitute Atlanta for Odessa and murdered Negroes for tortured Jews we can draw no distinction between the tales of cruelty and horror except that the shame attaching to the misdeeds of an ignorant populace and the inflamed soldiery deepens into infamy when the actors in such outbursts of savagery are men usually described as intelligent, educated and normally humane." There is an insinulative twang about the words "usually described" which doesn't seem redolent of homage. A special cablegram to the Chicago Chronicle says: "The Jews of Russia will not be granted equality or permitted to spread through the country and acquire land, according to interpretations placed on a long article published in Premier Stolypin's organ, the Russia. The announcement is made under the guise of allaying the storm of protest from the reactionists." Old Stolypin seems to be the Vardaman of Russia. No wonder that there is so much corruption in both countries when such knaves manage to wriggle into high positions. THE APPEAL has a ghost, or glimming of an idea, that if "the South," that is to say the oligarchy which misrules that section, were a little less soll-itids about the Afro-American and would devote some attention to the condition of the "poor whites," it would show at least one good reason for existing. What good does it do for some big blovior to "put up at Willard" and a teller a report about the awful condition down in Dixie—white children in the cotton-patch and Afro-American children loaded down with books, and going to school. Who rules down South? Several very prominent Southern rators and philosophers have combined very gravely because, as they say, the Afro-Americans do not their duty in putting a stop to our ages and lynching. We have no doubt out that if the Afro-Americans rule the South, and if the incompetent whining white men would get out of the way, they would do it in a jiff. It is reported that the California delegation to the next Congress will insist upon a law excluding the Japanese from the United States just as the Japanese are. If such a law should be objection, our relations with Japan will probably be a little strained.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1906. NOT PREMATURE *The St. Pioneer Press has an editorial headed "The Nation Will Stand by the Fifteenth Amendment," which THE APPEAL appreciates very highly on account of its kindly spirit, although it is compelled to dissent from some of the admissions made therein. THE APPEAL cannot admit the adoption of the amendment in its present form was "premature." any more than it would admit that the abolition of slavery was pregnant. On the contrary, it asserts that without the adoption of all three amendments, reconstruction would have been indisputably postponed. The Afro-American vote forced the rebels back into their proper relations to the federal government, and it remains to be PROVEN, though it has often been IMAGINED, that result could have been attained in any other way. Nor was the immediate result to place "the intelligent white population of a number of Southern states under the rule of a black majority," which dominating the legislatures proceeded to hold a carnival of extravagance, corruption and imbecility. That "intelligent white population" never was there. M. H. HON. GEO. B. CORTELYOU Who Will Become Secretary of the Treasure, March 4, 1907 Intentional Duplicate Exposure and is not there to this day. If any dependence (can be placed upon the official statistics of litteracy. No black majority ever dominated a single Southern legislature; the Southern States were dominated by white adventurers from the North, who were backed by the federal government and military governors appointed by the President. The adoption by a state of a constitution recognizing certain conditions was made a precedent to the readmission of a state. The remark about "leaving the state to prescribe the conditions other than color for the exercise of the franchise." is decided humorous. Louisiana had already prescribed such conditions as the following: "No Negro shall cell barter or exchange any article of merchandise without the special written permission of his employer." and other states had prescribed as bad, or worse conditions. The fourteenth and fifteenth Amendments were absolutely necessary to rescue the Afro-American from the Peonage which the Southern states established so soon as they were allowed to "prescribe the conditions." The New Orleans Piscayne says that what the south wants above everything is a great white population. The Nagrones are all right, it declares, if they will work, but they are becoming constantly less reliable. They are crowding to the towns and cities, where they can find opportunities for spasmodic employment, or even to live without any honest work. That paper urges that white labor must be got from the northern states and from foreign countries. On the other hand, according to the Washington Post, it appears as if some of the Afro-Americans do fairly well in the towns and make good use of their "spasmodic employment." It publishes the following statement of Mr. Daniel A. Tompkins, cotton mill owner of Charlotte, N. C., at the Raleigh: "If you mean in respect to disturbing influences," he replied, "we have no race problem. A few of the colored people break the law sometimes, but so do some of the white people. The great bulk of the colored people in North Carolina are doing good work, and many are saving money. There are three building and loan associations in Charlotte, and each has a very fair proportion of colored members. Through these agencies many of them own houses. Quite a number also have savings bank accounts." The Washington Herald gives the following: "For my part," said Mr. G. G. Foote, a successful business men and manufacturer of Macon, Ga., at the Riggs House. "I would not give up the Negroes of any other sort of labor. I have been employing Negroes all my life, and consider them the very best workers the South could get, unless, possibly, Chinese, who are barred by the law." It strikes TEE APPEAL very forcibly that Southerners Nos. 2 and 3 in the foregoing come pretty near to aserting that Southerner No. 1 is doing some of the tallest kind of lying. THE SAVANNAH IDEA. A wealthy and prominent citizen of Savannah, Ga., recently talked with a Herald reporter and expressed his views very frankly, and we give our readers the benefit of a few excerpts! One opinion is as follows: "The very worst use to which you can put a Negro is to educate him." Throughout the State you will see white children performing manual labor, picking cotton in the country as messenger boys in the towns, while the little colored children are to be seen loaded down with books on their way to the school houses. This is not the right order but a reversal thereof, and it is harmful to both races. "I think the Negroes the best laborers to be had, and I wouldn't give them for any white workingman for the peculiar work we have to do it the South. In the cotton fields, the Jimber camps, as long as I have men they discount any other nationality." The conception of an Afro-American can as a human being entitled to all the rights and privileges of any other human being, is something entirely beyond the capacity of some southern men to grasp. Their only idea is that the Afro-American was created for the benefit of his white brother. In accordance with the teachings of the ante-bellum southern pulpit. To people so unfortunately trained, to avail nothing in the way of convicting them that they are opposed to the whole civilized world because they regard themselves as superior beings who know it all. Oh, Columbia, the gem of the ocean. The world offers homenage to the. Well, perhaps it did some years back; but a change seems to have come over the spirit of the aforesaid world's dream, and the homage seems at present, to be somewhat, more or less stinted. Take for an instance, the following: "The Glasgow Herald, perhaps the most influential paper in Scotland, says of the recent race riots in the southern parts of the United States: "The news from Georgia reads like a story of Russian barbarians. If we substitute Atlanta for Odessa and murdered Negroes for tortured Jews we can draw no distinction between the tales of cruelty and horror except that the shame attaching to the misdeeds of an ignorant populace and the inflamed soldiery deepens into infamy when the actors in such outbursts of savagery are men usually described as intelligent, educated and normally humane." There is an insinulative twang about the words "usually described" which doesn't seem redolent of homage. A special cablegram to the Chicago Chronicle says: "The Jews of Russia will not be granted equality or permitted to spread through the country and acquire land, according to interpretations placed on a long article published in Premier Stolypin's organ, the Russia. The announcement is made under the guise of allaying the storm of protest from the reactionists." Old Stolypin seems to be the Vardaman of Russia. No wonder that there is so much corruption in both countries when such knaves manage to wriggle into high positions. THE APPEAL has a ghost, or glimmering of an idea, that if "the south" that is to say the oligarchy which misrules that section, were a little less soil-it-tods about the Afro-American and would devote some attention to the condition of the "poor whites". It would show at least one good reason for existing. What good does it do for some big biobliver to "put up at Willard's" and tell a reporter about the awful condition down in Dixie-white children in the cotton-patch and Afro-American children loaded down with books, and going to school. Who rules down South? Several very prominent Southern rators and philosophers have combined very grievously because, as they say, the Afro-Americans do not their duty in putting a stop to our ages and lynching. We have no doubt that if the Afro-Americans rule he South, and if the incomputer thinking white men would get out of the way, they would do it in a jiff. It is reported that the California delegation to the next Congress will must upon a law excluding the Japanese from the United States just as the Japanese are. If such a law should objection, our relations with Japan will probably be a little strained. The late Mrs. Jefferson Davis, a her death left for publication a letter which has given great offense to pany of her Southern slaters. Per taps Mrs. Davis became somewha northerized by her long residence in New York. With a Republican (almost two hits) majority in the Senate, Vard will have a hard time in repsalism the fifth Amendment. He showed his hand too soon.
