Great Britain, ealese to that, country con
-1 inue to increase. In nearly all of the
great clasxs of goods for which American
pnxlu<'« rs an- seeking a market, the Oc

On the other hand, the exports from
Great Britain to the United States are
In nearly all casro similar to those in Oc
lobor, 1897. despite the fact that they were
abnormally mnall In that month because
of the excessive importations in the
months Just preceding the enactment of
■the revenue law in July of that year. Ex

'Writing on printing paper and envelopes
amounted in October of the present year
to £Bll. and in October of last year to
£I.BBO. Tn certain lines of manii'facturod
articles, such as linens, cotton, woolen and
silk goods, carpeits and clothing, October
of the presen' year shows a slight increase
over the ex|»orts of the corresponding
month of last year, but in many cases falls
below October, 1596. »
in one particular the exports from Great
Britain to the United States show a mark
ed increase, and this is in the class of the
• articles required in the great industries
of this country. Os Jute yarn used in
manufacturing the exports to the United
States in October, 1898, amounted to 102,-
000 pounds, -.gainst GOO pounds in October
of last year and 13,900 pounds in October.

pounds in October, 1896. Pig iron exports

however, the exports of articles for use in

were 9.500 pounds against 58.300 pounds in
October, 1597, and 47.C00 pounds in Octo
ber, 1896.
The Negro in New York.
The people of the North as a rule insist
on social -equality for the negro—in the
South.
But when the proposition is brought
home to them they object quite as stren
ously as do the people of the South. Os
course there are a few exceptions; men
and womefi who have their own social
caste and who are content with negro as
sociates.
In New York city for instance the so
cial status of the negro is practically the
• same as in the South, a fact well demon
strated by a recent occurrence in that
city. - *»><
(According to a story in the New York
Journal one of the prettiest residence dis
tricts in East New York is agitated over
the prospect of having a negro family'
planted in a Queen Anno cottage, sur
rounded on all sides by beautiful homes.
The agitation bas been brought about by
William J. Bennett, who owns and occu
pies an eleven room house at No. 104 Hen
drix street. On acount of trouble with
neighbors he has decided to move. It is
said a desire to play even to the best of
his ability he has advertised the house to
rent to a negro family.
The trouble with the neighbors dates
back some three years, when Mr. Ben
nett's little boy quarrelled with the chil
dren of a man who lives next doer. Mr.
Bennett asserts that two months ago a
box of poisoned candy was thrown into
h.s yard, and if he had not discovered it
In time his boy would have found it and
eaten it. Mr. Bennett thinks be has found
a tenant.
“The house cost me SB,OOO. and is hand
somely decorated,” said Mr. Bennett “It
should rent for S6O a month, and I have
been repeatedly offered SSO a month for it,
but I prefer to rent it to a negro family
for S3O a month. Why I want to rent my
house to a negro family ig my own busi
, nes«.”
This in New York city. And yet we
- find similar conditions existing here in the
South without complaint on the part of
the whites. Even in one of the choicest
residence sections of Macon we find a ne
gro family occupying a residence in the
midst of some of the most prominent fam-
- Hies of the community. And yet the nelgh
, bors are not agitated over the affair.
There is a good deal of hypocrisy in the
. North’s love for the negro. The aver
. age Northerner loves the negro at a
distance; just as many of our people love
the down-trodden Cuban. When brought
. in close contact with him we take him at
what he is worth.
Cable Connection With Hawaii.
A special to the New York World from
Washington states that a cable line be
tween the United States and the Hawaiian
islands wil undoubtedly be provided for
The correspondent is informed by an offi
cial close to the president that in hie an
nual message the president will suggest
the advisability of a cable connection be
tween San Francisco and Honolulu. The
Bennett Hawaiian cable bill, now pend
ing before the house committe on inter
state commerce, is looked upon with con
siderable favor and the probilities are that
it will be taken up and passed.
The Bennet measure provides for the
granting of certain concessions by this
government to the Pacific company and
guarantees bonds of the company in con
sideration of the free transmission of
government mesages over the line for a
peroid of twenty years.
A Sure Cure.
A good deal has been sai l and written
about tax dodgers, but so far no one has
offered a plan that will bring about a full
return of personal property, wherein lies
the chief trouble with our tax laws.
Although the remedy may be a drastic
one, there is a plan that suggests itself
which would prove a sure cure for this
favorite •form of tax dodging. It is easily
i explained and even more easily enforced
—tn fact, it will enforce Itself.
Just let the Legislature pass a law nul
lifying every insurance policy on personal
■ property over and above the amount re
turned for taxation. Then we will see the
owners of palatial homes returning the
full value of their furniture, etc, instead
of giving it in at a valuation of a few
hundred dollars, as is now the case. There
will be no trouble about the enforcement
of such a law, for every insurance company
will gladly take advantage of the provision
whenever a violation occurs.
And a similar law will quite as easily
bring out a full return of 'bonds, mort
gages, etc. If such securities are nullified
when not returned for taxation, the
amount now shown on -the tax books of the
stale will increase a thousand fold at once.
The present law is shamelessly violated
in both of the above instances, and it is
only fair to the honest tax payers of the
state to bring this class of property to
light, no matter how drastic may be the
remedy.
The celebration of Thanksgiving Day in
the United States this year was about the
‘ most quiet ever known. The trouble was
that the people with a lot of new countries
on their hands, were not quite sure as to
the exact degree of gratitude they should
manifest. The man who bought the white
elephant was not particularly joyful.
The arrival of the new rifles for the sol
diers stationed in Macon would indicate
that Uncle Sam had not gone out of the
military business altogether, and that he
realizes the truth of history, that the mus
ket must precede the schoolmaster’s rod in
the work of civilizing semi-barbarous
countries.
Cardinal Gibbons is in favor of the re
strictions. of the suffrage by property
qualification as a solution of the race
question. 'Meantime it is to be noted that
the Mississippi and South Carolina laws
appear to working very well.
Representative Ellis has embraced a
good measure in his bill to extend the
voting hours. Polls should never close
until after the factory whistle has blown.
Spain again demands the last minute
before signing the contract. ' Never was
there a nation which could see so short
a distance beyond the point of its nose.
And are l inter-collegiate athletic con
tests also to be put under the ban? We
used to be told that all work and no play
made Jack a dull boy.
Rev. Dr. Young J. Allen says that “we
have never understood the Chinese.” How
could we? The Chinese do not appear to
understand themselves.
The “open door” policy means that we
shall do as we please when it conies to
showing our unwelcome guest the back
door.
It 'Will be a wild hour in the House of
Representatives when General Joe Wheeler
shall appear in his seat.
General Wood has read some history
himself and is not inclined to the carpet
bag system of government.
COMMENDS THE NEWS FOR FAIRNESS
Editor Evening News:
I have followed your course throughout
this prohibition campaign with considera
ble interest; for you and I really agree on
most matters of public interest, although
we are widely apart this time. Though T
differ with you on your prohibition views.
T want to say that you have confirmed the
• opinion I have always held of your paper.
I. e„ that it always fights in the open
and can be relied on to state its position
frankly and fearlessly. One of the most
honest things that I have seen in any pa
per for a long time was your editorial of
Tuesday last on “The Issue Before Us.” I
was glad to see you take higher .ground
than some of our anti-prohibition, friends
are taking, and I was glad, too. that you
stated your views in your editorial col
umns. thereby assuming full responsibility
for what you had to say, instead of using
a “nom de plume” to hide your identity.
While I don’t think you arb correct in
your position. I must give you credit for
candor and fairness. A Reader.

A IteKUter of Old 1.0na.,,,.
AlthougJi our British metropolis has
been greatly improved during the last half
oentury, both as regards sanitation and
architectural beauty, the cost, in the loss
of manj’ picturesque features and build
ings of historic interest, has been very
gn at. Builders, speculators, vestries and
those who have to do with this exchange
of new things for old rather pride them
selves upon having no sentimental feeling
about relics of past times and past phases
of life, and these have too often been
swept away without a regret.
Happily this will bo so no longer. Some
years ago the late William Morris organ
ized a society to protect ancient buildings,
and in connection with this society a com
mittee was appointed for the purpose of
compiling a register of old things worth
preserving and beauty spots liable to be
defaced within an area comprising a large
part of greater London. It may be a
building, an open space, a beautiful tree,
or even a signboard. The Item, whatever
it be, is catalogued, and its description is
accompanied by careful plans, drawings
and photographs.
More than this, the committee lias ob
tained the recognition of the London
county council, and the outcome of this is
that a permanent body Ims been appointed
to make a register or list of buildings of
historic or architectural interest. It is
still more satisfactory to learn that by an
act passed this session the council has ac
quired power to purchase or provide for
the maintenance of buildings or places
which come under the same description

The remedy for these conditions does not
lie in cosmetics. Skin disease is caused by
impurities in the blood, and by nervous
disorders due to weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
greatest of all known blood-purifiers. It
not only drives all impurities from the life
stream, but fills it with the rich, life-giving
elements of the food. Dr. Pierce’s Favor
ite Prescription acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that bear the burdens
of wifehood and motherhood. It makes
them pure, strong, well and vigorous. A
course of these two great medicines will
transform a weak, sickly, nervous, despond
ent woman, who suffers from unsightly
eruptions of the skin, into a healthy, happy,
amiable companion, with a skin that is
clear and wholesome. These medicines
are made from herbs and roots, and contain
no minerals of any description. They sim
ply assist the natural processes of assimila
tion, secretion and excretion. Medicine
dealers sell them.
It is a druggist’s business to give you, not
to tell you, what you want.
‘‘About four years ago,” writes Thomas Har
ris, of Wakefield Station, Sussex Co., Va., “my
daughter Helen was afflicted with eczema in a
distressing form. Dr. Pierce’s medicines cured
her after all other remedies had failed.”

Tlie Bitrffeat Silver Mine.
The biggest silver producer in the world
at present is the Broken Hill Proprietary
company, in New South Wales. The out
put of that company’s mines for the fiscal
year ending on May 31, 1898, was 6.122,-
270 fine ounces of silver. The Anaconda
Copper Mining company, in Montana,
came second, with a production of 5,074,-
036 ounces of silver It is worth noting
that in both of these mines the silver is
produced in connection with other metals
—at Broken Hill with lead and at Ana
conda with copper The latter is princi
pally a copper mine, since the metal forms
the greater part of the value of its ores.
The Compania Huanchaca de Bolivia
has had the operation of its mines serious
ly interfered with for the last two years
by water and other mishaps. Its produc
tion in 1897 was 151,995 kilograms, or
4.886,673 ounces, of silver. This is not
much more than one-half of the maximum
output, which was reached in 1893 and
was 281,007 kilograms, or 9,034,385
ounces.—Engineering and Mining Jour
nal.
Kitchener's Discipline.
For 15 years General Kitchener has
worked his officers and men mercilessly.
The regulations of the Egyptian army al
low no married men on the staff or in
places of responsibility. Marriage inter
feres with tropical work. Sick leave is
given to any officer who breaks down
once. A second illness severs the connec
tion between any officer in Kitchener’s
force and the Egyptian army. The men
who have fought under Kitchener and
who are now’ returning by twos and threes
to London say that when one goes forth
to battle under their iron general victory
is assured, and when men trust their lead
er it is equivalent to the addition of many
battalions to the army. Kitchener was
cold as ice when there was work to do,
but he broke down and wept bitterly at
the burial service of Gordon, which was
held in the ruins of the palace at Khartum
on Sunday, Sept. 4. He is a Liberal, and
his stern character is strengthened by
profound religious conviction.
