Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1907 SENATOR TILLMAN AND "SOCIAL EQUALITY." What is Senator Tillman up to? What was the occasion for his hard angue about the supremacy of the white race and his disgusting allusion to social equality? It has always seemed to us that a Southern white man degraded himself by even discussing questions of this character, unless the subject was forced upon him, and even then his part of the debate should be like a sword duel—a cut and a thrust and have it over as soon as possible. Does a Southern senator elevate his own position or magnify white supremacy by strutting around the chamber, foaming at the mouth, protesting that he is better than a black man and that he abhors mixed marriages? We hope that the decent people at the North do not judge Southern manners by the Tillman samples. There was no occasion for Mr. Tillman's harangue on racial supremacy and social equality. Thus sayeth the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and therby-manifests its inability to know a good thing when it sees it. Tillman's performances are unique and infimitable; and, moreover M. Present Postmaster and Republican Candidate for Mayor of Chicago. M. Greet Congressman With Cheers for Work in Their Behalf. With flags and banners flying, torches and colored lights blazing and fireworks that lighted the sky for miles, 1,000 mail carriers marched from the Kedzie avenue Metropolitan "L" station to the home of Congressman William Lorimer, where they greeted him with cheers and expressed their appreciation of his efforts in connection with the passage of the recent bill to increase their salaries. The bill was introduced into the lower house by Congressman Lorimer several weeks ago and was passed just before the adjournment of Congress. It not only provided all that the mail carriers had been asking for for the last seventeen years, but it provided for Upon the arrival of the parade at the home of the congressman a drizzling rain was falling. Congressman Lorimer had been suffering from a fever several days, but, unmindful of the inclemency of the weather, he went out on the parade at home, where with bared head he made a brief address to the men in waiting. add very greatly to the gaiety of the senate, which is well known to be of too pessimistic a temperament to get up a real first-class vaudeville. But when Jeff Davis and Vardaman and fiddling Bob join the company, as they are expected to do soon, the South will be suitably represented and will doubtless control the deliberations of the body, repeal the 14th and 15th amendments and cut-up Jack generally. Tillman believes in free speech—the freeer from sense, decency and decorum, the better. He would be a Lucy Parsons or Carrie Nation if he only had as much sense as those ladies. If he be censured for being a crank upon the subject of social equality, the censure includes those noble statesmen like Hoke Smith, John Temple Graves, Tom Dixon, et al. When Tillman butts into the subject of "social equality," it serves him as Tom Callender's horse did John Gilpin. Or as some others explain the matter: 'Tis the sunset of life gives him mystical lore. And coming events cast their shadows before. MANY BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES. An English writer, in comparing trades unions in America and England, points out that the one feature over here of marked dissimilarity to home unions is the lack of beneficence. The sick benefits, burial funds and pension fund that are leading features of English trades unions are lacking in the United States. There is an important exception to the foregoing statement from the Chicago Journal, which that paper does not mention. It is this: Among the Afro-Americans there exist several national organizations: the Masons, Odd Fellows, Brothers of Friendship, the Knights of Pythias and others. In all of these the beneficences are the most prominent feature and they are doing a vast amount of good. For instance, in one state the female order of the Eastern Star last year dispensed over $16,000 in beneficences. In some other states, more still, in the same direction was done. Directly after reconstruction times one could scarcely traverse the streets of a Southern city without meeting someone with a subscription paper, who was begging a little money to bury Uncle Tony or Aunt Dilsey who had died the night before. This practice has disappeared; for everybody belongs to some society and the society foots the bill. VERY ENCOURAGING. It is a very encouraging indication to see how some of the Southern journals are ripping up the windy blather-sites who are constantly making that section ridiculous and uninfluential by their extravagant ravings. The Baltimore Sun fairly tears the hide off from Gorman, son of the late Senator Gorman, about some of his nonsense, and concludes thus: It is a fine thing to be a leader, if one only knows how. "I cannot pass on the character of Northern audiences, but I say that lecture lyceums and chautaquas are not supported by ignorant people, nor poor people, and when I see so many types of low, stinking ward politicians among the Northern Democrats," said Mr. Tillman with a sneer. "I sometimes feel that I will never have any use for any more of them." Ex pede Herculem. No one could have uttered such a sentiment in such a place, but Tillman. SAYS TOLSTOI. Telstol says: Religion is truth and goodness, the church falsehood and evil. I tell you frankly I can not agree with those who believe the church is an organization indispensable for religion. The church has ever been a cruel and lying institution which in seeking for temporal advantages has perverted and distorted the true Christian doctrine. Christianity has ever been simply a pretext for the church. The foregoing is simply on a par with many other absurdities given utterance to by this very foolish old creature. Yet, for some unimaginable reason, there are people who greatly admire Telstol. We can see nothing striking about the old man, except that TWO KATE APPEAL he has written some of the most stupid and filthy trash that ever was published. The Dutch have had nominal control of the island of Sumatra for a great many years, but they are still fighting with the natives. Word has just been received of a fight between the Dutch and the natives on Balf, the next island to Java. In this engagement two princes and their women and children were captured and an entire native army of 400 men wiped out. The loss on the Dutch side was four men killed and ten wounded. They seldom take any prisoners in these islands, the fighting is generally to the death and the deaths are usually confined to the native men. 1910 ARCHIE ROOSEVELT, Third Son of the President, Stricken With Diphtheria.

Chinese Owners of Pugilistic Insects Hold Exciting Battles. A. E. Parker has just returned from a trip to San-hul, a large walled city in Kwang-tung province, and while there visited the guardhouse, where he saw six or seven earthenware bowls of fighting crickets. He was much amused as to the description of the methods of stabling and dieting these insects. During the day the male and female crickets are separated, but as soon as night falls they are mated. Their diet consists of water, boiled rice and a little ginseng, the latter to give them stamina. In matching these insects to fight they are weighed and a light weight would not be pitted against a weiter weight. The insects are spurred on to combat with a fine piece of glass, which treatment naturally arouses their anger. The belief that crickets are distinguishable by pieces of colored wool is a fallacy. They are recognized by their owners as we recognize our canine pets. In a contest the first cricket to run away is adjudged the loser. The officer in charge of the guardhouse mentioned that a dispute which had arisen over a cricket contest three years ago had yet to be settled, each party holding that the other man's cricket ran away first. Some of these crickets are indeed worth many times their weight in gold, several hundred dollars being sometimes paid for a real champion. BILLS OF CHICKENS STUCK. Diet of Glue Sizing Gives Poultry Fancier Hard Day's Work. PANEL HARD FARDS WORK. George Westerman, an enthusiastic breeder of fancy poultry in the Fairview section of Bloomfield, N. J., put in a busy day soaking the bills of his roosters and hens in hot water. This strange occupation was due to an artistic effort on the part of his nearest neighbor, Herbert Fields, who mixed some powerful glue sizing preparatory to painting the walls, one of the rooms in his house. The sizing left over Mr. Fields dumped in his back yard. Mr. Westerman's chickens, evidently thinking the sizing new brand of breakfast food, flew over the fence and ate greedily. In a few minutes their bills were stuck as closely together as if riveted. The surprised chickens became terrorstriken and rolled about in the snow. Ancient Roman Mosaic Found Near the Lucrine lake, to the north of the beautiful Baiae, Italy, where the Villas of Romans of imperial times crowded each other to the water's edge and where in consequence to this day the ground is full of archaeological treasures, a very fine mosaic has just been discovered. In form it is a parallelogram, measuring about five and one-half yards. The piece represents a hunting scene, in which there are many wild beasts and several hunters, the favorite subject for large mosaics in those days. It has been bought to $1,500 by the ministry of public works for the decoration of the great monument to Victor Emmanuel in Rome, which is slowly taking form. More Glorious Than Solomon. As an evidence of the prosperity of our Gove county farmers, says the Grove County, Kan., News, we wish to call the attention of our readers to an occurrence witnessed by us. On Wednesday a farmer drove into Grinnell with a load of hay and was attired as follows: Shoes, patent leather; coat, Prince Albert; trousers, broadcloth; hat, Stetson crush; white collar and tie, with white cloth gloves, and as we didn't examine the make-up further we don't know what brand of cigarettes he smoked nor the grade of perfume he sported. Great on Fish. The late John Price Wetherill of Philadelphia, had the reputation of giving the best dinners and serving the best wines of any Philadelphia. Mr. Wetherill had a certain odd, qualit humor. At a dinner that he gave last year the fish course was unusually good. He praised his chef ardently, concluding: "But he is best of all with fish. Why he prepares fish so exquisitely that from the fryingpan they give him admiring and grateful looks." Taking a Roundabout Route. "What does this report mean by saying that 'the shorts were caught in a corner and squeezed?'" "Why, it means that they sold what they didn't have to buyers whom they had to get it back from at a higher price in order to deliver it to them." Found Place for Income.

Scheme to Utilize its Energy to Run Bombay, Cotton, Mills This is not the only country which has large water-power engineering plans on hand. There is a project under way in Bombay which literally aims at harnessing the Indian monsoon and utilizing the resultant energy in running the cotton mills of Bombay and other factories in the adjacent districts. The Western Ghauts, or mountains, forty-three miles from Bombay, are among the rainiest districts of the world; even during the famine years 1896-7, when thousands of people were perishing elsewhere because of the lack of rain, the inhabitants of the Ghauts district were nearly ruined by a rainfall of from twenty-two to twenty-six feet for the wet season, June to October. This speedily drains off to the sea. Hence it is proposed to build three great dams, thus utilizing three of the many valleys as reservoirs, an undertaking made all the easier by the stony formation, which does away with the necessity of artificial floors in the proposed reservoirs. How steep the approach is appears from the fact that there will be a descent of 1,734 feet in less than two and one-half miles. At the base of the mountains, will be a great power station, from which the electricity generated will be transmitted to Bombay and other points. The largest dam will be ninety-five feet high, and 8,000 feet long; the second will have a length of 4,500 feet and the third of 2,640 feet. UPHOLDS THE FAMILY HONOR Milkman's Boy Mistakes the Nature of a Question Asked in School. "Bobby," asked the teacher of the class in arithmetic, addressing the question to one of the younger pupils, "how many pints are there in a gallon?" "I've forgot it again, ma'am," said Bobby, who found it hard to commit to memory the tables of weights and measures. Thinking that perhaps by turning from the abstract to the concrete she might succeed better in stimulating his power of recollection, the teacher tried another task. "Bobby," she said, "your father is a milkman, isn't he?" "Yes, ma'am." "Well, now, think as hard as you can. He sometimes sells a gallon can full of milk, doesn't he? Just so. Well, when he does, how many pints of milk are there in that gallon can?" "It's all milk, ma'am!" indignantly exclaimed Bobby. Getting Round It. Dr. F. A. Cook, the famous mountaineer, said of mountain climbing, at a dinner in Brooklyn: "Peaks that seem inaccessible may be climbed by turns and twists. Mountain climbing is a question of getting round the bad places. Getting round your difficulty—that is the secret of good climbing. "Liszt, the great musician, had the ability to get round things. Hence I am sure he'd have made a good mountaineer. "Once at a dinner, Liszt's hostess cried in a horrified voice that there were thirteen at table. "Don't let that alarm you, madam," said Liszt, with a reassuring smile, "I'll eat for two." Postage Stamps of the World. The total number of all knc.n varieties of postage stamps issued by all the governments of the world up to the present time is 20,496, of which 6,153 are apportioned to the British empire and 14,343 to the rest of the world. Europe has issued 4,361, Asia 3,856, Africa 4,469, America 4,688, the West Indies, 1,637, and Oceania 1,485. These figures comprise only standard varieties of postage stamps, and do not include postcards, letter cards, stamped envelopes or wrappers. Seeds Grow After Burial 2,000 Years. The extraordinary resuscitating power of light recently received a curious illustration in the silver mines at Laurium. A mine had been abandoned 2,000 years, when some poppy seed was found beneath the slag. The slag was removed, in a short time the entire space was covered with the most gorgeous show of poppies. After their twenty centuries' rest they had bloomed as vigorously as if they had been borne by flowers of yesterday. American Art in Paris. An American art association of Paris, organized in 1890 in the name American Students' association, has issued an appeal for $200,000. Of this sum $75,000 is wanted for land, $100,000 for building and equipment and 125,000 for endowment. The object of the association is to further the interests of Americans who are studying art in France: How Lizards Fool Hawks. The peculiar brittleness of their tails is some times an advantage to certain lizards. Perching head downward on a rock, the diamond-tailed gecko, for example, is often seized by a hawk, when the tail snaps off, and the animal calmly wriggles away to grow another.
