THURSDAY, APRIL 15
Is Washington this week discuss
ing the future of the negroes in the
South, Booker T. Washington, the
colored Alahamian who is regarded
by many as the leader of the negro
raoe, said:
"The problem as betwan the
races will work itself out. In sla
yer the negro was tied to the white
man through the bill of sale. In
freedom the negro must tie himself
to the white man through the bonds
of commerce and by the cultivation
in eTery manly way of the sympa
thetic good will of his next-door
neighbor.
"We muft bring our education
down to the plain, practical, hard,
eyery-day facts As a race we are
tery emotional. We are inclined to
spend more of our time preparaing
to live in heaven than on earth. We
like to talk about living in the
white mansions in the upper world
and at the same time living in a one
room cabin here. We like to preach
about golden flippers and loDg
white robes in the other world and
go barefooted and nearly nakd in
this world. We like to sin? about
living on milk and honey in the
next world and eat corn bread and
peas here. I believe that living
right here in this world is the best
preparation for a happy home in
heaven."
Thi following dialogue, taken
from the Chicago Tribune, Bounds
like it might have been written for
Charlotte:
Mrs. Billus: John, are you going
to vote at the primary election this
morning P
Mr. Billus: No. I haven't time.
(A pause.)
Mr. Billus: Maria, what are you
going to do with that old suit of
mine P
Mrs. Billus: I'm going to put it
on and go and vote at the primary.
I don't want folks to think we
haven't a man of some kind about
the bxruse.
The tariff grabbers not content
with the unprecedented high duties
fixed by Dingley, are now beseiging
the Senate committee to increase the
dntieB on numerous manufactured
articles.
If the Senate even allows the
Dingley duties to paas, without in
creasing one single item, the bill is
enough to sweep the Republican
party from power.
And if the duties are placed at
higher figures, a Democratic land
slide will be formed that will sur
prise and shock the tariff barons.
Pbisidixt Cisskbos, of the
Cuban Kepublic, has written a letter
to President McKinley, in which he
declares:
The struggle may go on for yearB,
and Cuba may continue to fight the
battle against fearful odds alone, but
to long as there is a God to give us
ourage we will cling to the banner
f right and freedom, and never
falter until the victory is won."
Ik numerous cities the pulpit has
begun an organised attack on the
loose divorce laws that exist in eev
ral States, and it is agreed that
"divorce is the greatest enemy to
society." The large increase in the
xmmber of divorces is a cause for
alarm.
"Thi people did not take long to
fttd oat that they had been betrayed.
The tariff is now at the front The
people have been fooled again," says
Oswald Ottendorfer, the great Ger

COVERXMESTAL EXTHAYAGANtK.
The enormous increase in the ex
penses of the government is out of
all proportion to the increase in the
population and wealth of the coun
try, and must soon reach its maxi
mum or result in disaster to the na
tion. The "Billion Dollar Congress"
attempted to justify it vast appro
priations by saying this is a "billion
dollar county." But even
in tne
most prosperous times excessive ap
propriations are unwarranted, and
certainly in a time of such financial
stress as this, some limit should be
placed on wild extravagance.

It will be remembered that in the
late campaign, the Democrats were
called anarchists because they ques
tioned the decision of the Supreme
court regarding the income tax, and
Mark Hanna's men claimed that the
declaration of the Chicago platform
was an attempt to abolish the Su
preme court, and the "sacred judici
ary" of the country.
The Supreme court decided
short while ago that combinations
of railroads to keep up rates are
illegal. Now the very people who
called the Democrats anarchists last
fall, are charging that the Supreme
court is in total error in its decis
ion. And Senator Foraker has in
troduced in Congress a pooliDg bill
to get around the Supreme court's
decision. It matters very much

a very learned and exhauotive paper
on "The Habits of the Doodle Bug,'
which, say the Washington newspa

Government Deficiency
of $158,000,000.
The new aiministation has already
been forced to seriously consider the
probable necessity of a- bond issue
before it retires from office, says the
Journal. It is threatened with an
aggregate shortage in revenues at
the end of its first fiscal year of over
$153,000,000 if the Dingley bill
becomes a law, and all suspended
appropriations, past and present, are
made available
On July 1, the beginning of the
fiscal year of 1898, the total amount
of available cash in the treasury,
over and above the gold reserve, will
be, it is estimated, $111,400,000.
The appropriations for the fiscal
year 1898 made by the fifty-fourth
congress, including the four appro-
nrouriation bills which failed to
become laws, but which will be re
enacted during the present session,
are $496,718,509.26, not including
850,000,000 for the continuous
ppropriations. .
JuriDg the last hscal year tne
total revenues of the government
were $397,900,000, excluding the
postal revenue?. Chairman Dingley
estimates that his bill will increase
this amount the first year, which
will be the fiscal yearbeginning July
1, 1897, $70,000,000. Tni3 would
make the estimated total revenues of
the government, excepting the postal,
or the coming nscal year $4b7,yuu,
000. or S28.818.509.26 short of the
amount required to meet the appro
priations.
But the government has not been
maintaining its expenditures on
prior appropiations, and at the be
ginning of the fiscal year was behind
on this account $116,180,482.82.

THE TARIFF SITUATION
Senator Chandler Speaks cf the Pres
sure for Increased Dirtier .
Senator Chandler said to a S'ar
reporter with relation to the tariff
situation that tne bill was seriously
threatened by the pressure for
increases of duties. "This pressure
is tnormous from all parts of the
country, he said, "and is so strong
that there is some danger that it
might be yielded to. There is, for
instance, a general demand that the
wool tariff shall be increased, so that,
instead of a rate rf 5 and 6 cents a
pound on wool, we shall have 10 or
12. The woolen manufacturers want
compensatory rates which amount
to prohibitive duties on woolens.
Likewise the Californians ask us to
place such duties on fruits that all
foreign fruits shall be kept out in
the interest of the California pro
ducts. Indeed, there is great pres
sure from all parts of the country
and in the interest of almost every j
industry for prohibitive duties. If
