Washington and Roosevelt. New Yorfc Times. Ex-Congressman John S. Wise, of Virginia, now of New York, is a warm personal friend of Presi dent Roosevelt. , Being in Wash ington a few days ago he visited the white house and was prompt ly accorded an interview. In the course of the conversation the president is said to have suddenly remarked: “Now, John, you are a very observing man and know pretty near what is going on. Tell me what the people think of my administration?” Oh, Mr. Pres ident,” Mr. Wise replied, “the opinion seems to be that you will go down to posterity with Wash ington,” “I am delighted to hear that,” the president is said to have answered inteTruptingly as he grasped Mr. Wise’s hand and shook it heartily. But as he re leased his hold Mr. Wise contin ued: “But whether it will be with George or Booker T., I not prepare^ to say.” am This, from the Americus Times- Recorder, should be remembered by boys who wish to attain suc cess: “You seldom ever see the boys that; work uncomplainingly and that look after the interests of their employers looking around after a job. They can usually hold the one they have as long as they want it, and when they are turned loose it is for the purpose of taking a higher position.” IPtPWliiPWilllPl — M- An Excursion Worth the While.

Atlanta Constitution, Very soon a number of republican congressmen, on the invitation of Representative Thompson,, of Ala bama, are to make a visit to the south. The main purposo for which they are invited is to show them the negro and the actual conditions of his life and labors in the typical southern state of Alabama. The idea that moved Congress' man Thompson amounts almost to an inspiration, and we are gratified at the alacrity with which a number of representative northern republi can congressmen have accepted the opportunity that he offers them. If they are the sincere and honorable men we assume them to be, their visit, their observations and their investigations among the real work ing, producing negroes of the south will be most illuminating. They will see things they have not believ ed and hear things which they would not probably accept as true from any other witnesses. It will be a distinct revelation to many of these particular visitors to have the homespun negro tell of his experiences, his conditions and his hopes. They will find his testimo ny in strange contrast with that which is usually retailed to them in Washington by sleek and pompous bishops, prognathous professors and politicians in plug hats and jim- swinger coats. They will be sur prised to learn how few of the in dustrious negroes of the south are dreaming of social equality and fret ting their souls against the hackle of qualified suffrage. It is especially gratifying that Mr. Grumpacker, of Indiana, author of the scheme to reduce southern representation because every negro male adult in the south is not arbi trarily returned as voting the repub lican ticket, is to be one of the visit ing statesmen. We are sure that he needs just the sort of information that this visit will give him. Of all others, he should be introduced free ly to those whom he thinks are the equal of his constituents in all the elements of self-governing citizen ship and given ample occasion to compare their capacities to deter mine national issues with those of the people in the Indiana district who return him to congress. The Constitution looks for genu inely good results from the excur sion. It will enable the congress men who compose it to get valuable information on the spot and from first witnessess. They will see and know things that have been ctenied or exaggerated by those who have been their informants heretofore, and, we doubt not, they will return to Washington with modified views of the southern situation and the so- called “southern problem.” And if they are wise and honest they will testify from the things they will have seen and heard, that the best thing that congress can do is to let the southern white man and the ne gro adjust their relations without let or hindrance from those who are not factors in the equation. Judge W. A. Day, special govern ment counsel, who has been assist ing Attorney S. H. Bethea in draft ing a bill for an injunction against the packers, left’Chicago for Wash ington May 2. With him went the bill, It is believed by the lawyers who framed it that it is invulnera ble. The bill against the beef trust is brought in the name of the United States by Attorney General Knox and is directed against these de fendants: Armour & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., Swift & Co,, The G. H. Hamburg Packing Company, The Cudahy Packing Company and The Sehwarzschild & Sulzeberger Company. Closely following the terms of the Sherman anti-trust law, technically known as “an act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful re straints and monopolies,” the bill begins with the formal allegation of jurisdictional powers of the United States Circuit Court and then sets forth the charges apainst the pack ers. It is charged that the defendants named have entered into and are maintaining a combination, agree ment or trust iu restraint of trade and commerce among the several states, and that the said agreement or combination is in direct violation of the terms and provisions of the act making such combinations file GILBERT HARDWARE CO., Hardware, - Harness, - Saddlery, mm Full line Agricultural Implements.

It is alleged that the defendants have become partners, aud still are parties, to an agreement, or combi nation, which, in effect, provides for the absolute control of the beef trade in and between the several states in restraint of trade and com merce between the several states. It is charged that the defendants nam- ■Gd have entered into, aud are main taining, an agreement to raise or lower the prices of beef, which, in effect, is in restraint of trade and commerce between the several states, that the fixing of prices in effect creates a monopoly in the beef trade, and the same is alleged to be in restraint of trade.
