I.ike all nautieal people, says tlie Gen
tlewoman, Lord Charles Beresford is de
void of any suspicion of “side” or non
sense. At the dose of one of Lord
Charles ’ meetings at York, at the time
he was wooing that constituency, a sol
emn and sedate old clergyman who had
keen seated on the platform eame up to
the candidate and said with much grav
ity:
“Allow mo, Lord Charles, the pleasure
of shaking hands witli you. I had the
honor of being confirmed, many years
ago, by your respected uncle, the Pri
mate of all Ireland.”
Lord Charles instantly shouted in
stentorian tones to his brother, who was
near the door at the other end of the
hall: “Bill! Bill! Here’s a parson
who says lie was confirmed by old Unde
John; come up here and have a talk
with him! ”
AND IT SO CAME TO PASS.

“So next Sunday sho went to cliurcli

“Horses!” said the Yankee. “Guess
you can’t talk to me about horses. I
had an old mare, Maizypop, who once
licked our best express by a couple of
miles on a thirty-mile run to Chicago.”
“That’s nothing,” said the Canadi
an. “I was out on the farm one day,
about fifty miles from the house, when
a frightful storm eame up. I turned
the pony’s head for home, and, do you
know, he raced the storm so close for
the last ten miles that I didn’t feel a
drop, while my dog, only ten yards be
hind, had to swim the whole distance. ’ ’
Asked to write a short composition, a
pupil in the fifth grade of the Webster

“Once there was a littlo girl. She
didn’t like to go to church, so one Sun
day a preacher came to her home and
lie said to tho little girl: ‘You haven’t
been to church for a long time.’
“The little girl said she didn’t like to
come because sho swears.
“So tho preacher said to the little
girl: ‘You come next Sunday; if you
hear me swear you can have an apple

A dance in Topeka Monday offered
the finest exhibit of wiltd collars ever
seen in Kansas, the State Journal says.
It reminded John C. Waters of the
Turkish dignitary visiting in our more
or less progressive little country, who,
upon being given a spectator’s scat at
a so ial hop, barked brokenly: “What?
You do you own dancing? In my coun
try we hire it done. ’ ’ Johnnie favors

1 AN AUTHORITY ON MISCE
GENATION.
When President Eliot resigned his
place at the head of a great educa
tional institution in America, a volume
of testimonials and appreciation of his
work and character echoed throughout
civiliation and it was the consensus of
opinion in Europe from the highest au
thorities that he was the foremost liv
ing American who had done more than
any other man of our time to shape our
thought and influence our national
character. He is from a section where
public opinion is opposed to that of
the South on many important issues,
and his observation and experience
have given him splendid opportunities
for judging correctly. When President
Eliot speaks on the relations between
the races, we should remember that he
ha3 observed the Negro when thrown
with white students on a footing of
theoretic equality—that he has heard
the ablest of Negro students speak as
representatives of his university, and
has given many diplomas to men of
the race. If such a man is influenced
by surroundings, then it would follow
that President Eliot must have seen
strong reasons to disagree with what
would naturally be his preconceptions
or his prejudices on the subject.
Therefore, the endorsement of such
a man so trained and living such a
life, for the opinion of the South on a
national issue is all the stronger, and
should be convincing. When ex-Presi-
dent Eliot comes to the South with
this message of endorsement for her
policy, we must discount the theory
of “the door of Hope” and the “Square
Deal,” as applied to social and political
relations of the Negro in this country.
He bases his conclusion on scientific
grounds, when he declares that the
mixture of any two races widely sep
arated in blood, ideals and conceptions
of morality degrades both; what other
two races are wider apart than the
Anglo-Saxon and the Negro? Why
should not the experience of the Latin
with the Negro be accepted as a warn
ing to us? On such grounds this dis
tinguished observer declares:
“In the case of the Negroes and the
whites, the races should be kept apart
in every respect. The South has a
wise policy. I believe that Booker T.
Washington has the right ideals and
that Dubois is injuring the progress of
his race with his views.”
Suppose this opinion be the correct
one; immediately we understand that
under the Republican policies the Re
publican party has spent millions of
public money and inflicted untold evil
on a great section of this country to
impose this opinion on the South and
to maintain it in tho North—that this
opinion has been urged as a vital and

cardinal conception of duty in cam
paign after campaign, and has tinged
the course of federal legislation for a
generation. Now if the Republican
party has been wrong in this, is it
not fair to conclude that it is wrong
in other important issues. If this
policy of the Republican party has
brought the people and the nation into
the zone of danger, what may we not
believe of other policies wherein the
evidence was not so plan and the tes
timony so overwhelming?
