The trouble the ship subsidy bill is
giving the senato is nothing to what it
■will give the treasury it it becomes a
law.
The baby crop of New Jersey is
stated to be about thirty per cent,
short of the average for the entire
conntry, bnt the output of mosquitoes
and trusts keeps up fairly well.
It is announced that the ranks of the
'Grand Army of the Republic have been
reduced by death since 1800 from 400,"
489 to 378,662. But the pension roll
has grown from 537,000 to 998,000.
DISCUSSING THE NEGRO.
The extreme demands of the literary-
minded woman of New York, compos
ing the League for Political I-.duca-
tion, has found time to take up the
colored man for review.
Strangely enough, there was an in
clination to dwarf the importance of
the "ward of the nation." Putting tho
question, “Resolved,That the problem
of the future of the negro race in Amer-
ieo can be solved best by their sepa
ration from the white people in educa
tion, labor and place of residence," it
was unanimously decided in the affirm
ative Tho negro should have no place,
no work, no chance for life among
those who have heretofore caressed him
so fondly. One of the speakers said
the only true education for the negro
is manual training. Intellectual train
ing idono is injurious. After a college
tramiDg the negro, he said, “frequent
ly goes back to the conditions of bis
sayage ancestry." Another speaker
found the difficult question to be, not
what harm do the colored people do
tho whites, but how do the whites
harm the negro? The negroes, she
said, are descended from degenerate
tribes of the interior of Africa, who
were sold into slavery by the hardier
tribes of tho coast. They have an evil
heritage of thousands of years. Too
much educatiou makes them discon
tented. They had better be able to tin
a roof than to compute an eclipse of
the sun. They are best lited for man
ual labor and should be encouraged in
those lines.
The colored political agitator will
find very little comfort in all this, for
if there is any one thing extremely dis-
tastefnl to him it is work.—Atladta Con
stitution.
Bam Jones endorses the Nation wo
man's method of breaking up the Kan
sas saloons, and will probably invite
her and her little hatchet down to
. Georgia. And then you will see fun.
Queen Wilheimina allows her hus
band tho interest on 50,000,000 guild
ers, or 320,000,000. At :t per cent the
yonng man's salary will be over 811,500
a week, which ought to do for a start
Cnba’s proposition to distribute mil
lions of bonds in payment of accounts
piled np by insurgent Generals and re
volutionary governments is a stupen
dous game of grab. Such a debt might
be padded to an enormous total.
8AVE WHILE YOU CAN
The everlasting and inborn tendency
to fraud and humtmg in this country
has its latest illustration iu an imitation
vaccination scar that cau bo bought for
a dime and pasted ou the arm. It is
meant to fool the inspector, not tho
smallpox.
The Chattanooga News gives the fol
lowing timely advice to those who find
themselves enjoying a season of pros
perity: “It is amazing how rapidly a
small sum placed in a savings bank
every week or every month, accumu
lates. There are banks in every com
munity in the South, soliciting such de
posits and offering a fair rate of inter
est, to be compounded annually. The
day laborer can, by placing a dollar a
week iu such an institution become the
possessor in half a dozen years of a
sufficient sum to purchase a comfortable
home. Tho material part of the prob
lemof life is half solved when a man
ceases to pay rent. Times are good
now, but they will not always bo so.
Financial depressions will come again
and in the natural order of things we
may expect ouo iu the next few years.
When it does come, the man who will
practice a little prudence and self
denial now, will feel much like tho
duck with a pail of water thrown on its
b»ck.
Queen Victoria's father, tho fourth
son of George III., said iu one his
speeches: “I am the friend of civil and
religious liberty all the world over.'

parents in point of high character,abil

GOVERNMENT FOR
THE PHILIPPINES
Measure Now Under Consid
eration by Senators.
AMENDMENTT0 ARMY BILL
All Military amt Civil l’owrn Neces-
gary to Govern tlie Ulauds Shall
He Vested In Persons to He Named
■by the President.
Washington*, Feb. 11.—Tho senate
committee on the Philippines today au
thorized Senator Lodge to report the
Spooner amendment, introduced Fri
day, concerning the government of the
Philippine islauds as an amendment to
the army appropriation bill. One slight
verbal amendment was made. As the
amendment was introduced, it proved
that all military, civil and judicial pow
ers necessary to govern the islands shall
be vested in such persons as shall be
named by the president, etc. The word
“judicial” was stricken out, because it
was the oniuion of the committee that
all judical functions are embraced in the
civil administration. The Democrats
made uo opposition to the reporting of
the amendment. The provision will
next be considered by the committee on
military affairs.
THE WORK OF THE SENATE
Naval Appropriations Passed and
Shipping Hill Taken Ip.
Washington, Feb. 11.—When the
senate convened today at 11 o’clock,
Mr. Turley of Teiiuessee presented the
credentials of his colleague, Edward W.
Carmack, elected senator for a term of
eix years, begiuniug March 4, 1U0I.
Mr. Teller of Colorado presented the
credentials of Thomas M. Patterson,
elected senator from Colorado for the
term of six years, beginning March 4,
1901.
The credentials of both senatora elect
were filed.
A bill providing for an additional
district judge in the Northern district
of Illinois was passed.
The naval appropriation bill was
then taken up.
The naval appropriation bill was
passed, and Mr. Hanna moved to take
up the shipping bilL Mr. Jones of
Arkansas demanded a roll call, and the
senate voted, 35 to 14, to consider the
bill , ,
Mr. Tillman of South Caroliua had
expected to discuss the armor plate
question, which was before the senate
when the bill was laid aside Saturday.
He said he desired to present evidence
which would show the bad faith with
which the Caruegie and Bethlehem
companies had treated the government.
The companies had said prositively they
were unable to make Krupp armor for
less than $545 per ton, yet they had en
tered into contract for an armor at a
lower price. He would bo satisfied, be
said, if the chairman of the naval affairs
committee (Mr. Hale) would corrobo
rate what he said.
Mr. Hale replied that there was no
question about the accuraoy of Mr.
Tillman's statement.
Mr. Pettigrew said that when a mem
ber of one of the armor concerns was
before the appropriations committee he
admitted that the Caruegie aud Beth
lehem companies had an agreement to
bid the same sum for the armor.

Farmers who do not keep posted as
well on the topics of the day as con
cerning the progress of agriculture,are
easily identified, for they “give them
selves away” ou every occasion that
call* for an expression. They can also
bejidentitied \>y a cursory inspection of
their home aud farms. An ignorant
man can’t conceal his ignqyaucc if he
tries, bnt exhibits it the plainer the
more he tries to conceal it. A ^man
who does not regularly read the pa
pers, agricultural aad secular, uo mat
ter what may be his native ability,
must necessarily be more or less an ig-
noramns, compared with others who do
read. He need not expect to keep up
with the progress of the times through
the medium of second-hand informa
tion; it can't be done. The decree has
gone forth that periodical literature is
necessary to a comprehension of car-
rent events, and mnit be obeyed,or the
subject suffers. — Texas Farm aud

Proceedings In the House.
Washington - , Feb. 11.—The desk of
Representative Albert Shaw of New
York, lnte commander-in-chief of the
G. A. R , who died suddenly Sunday
morning of apoplexy, was draped iu
black ami covered with azelias aud roses
when tiie bouse met today. The chap
lain in his invocation referred feelingly
to General Shaw's death. Owing to the
extreme pressure of the public business,
it was decided by the house leaders that
it would be inexpedient to adjourn im
mediately out of respect to his memory.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, Mr. Paine, chairman of tne
committee on ways and means, by direc
tion of the committee, reported back
the war revenue aet as amended by the
senate and moved the adoption of a
resolution -to disagree to the substitute
proposed by the senate as an amendment
thereto aud ask for a conference.”
The Fax On Hank Capital.
Washington, l-'eb. 11.—Senator Aid-
rich today sent the following dispatch:
“Washington, Feb. 11.—Mr. A. B.
Hepburn. Chairman American Associa
tion of Bankers, Chase National Bank,
New York city: Am receiving a large
number of letters from banks and bank
ers throughout the rouutry, sent in re-
spouse to request issued by your secre
tary, demanding that the tax uu bank
capital shall he entirely removed. The
house retained the eutire tax and the
senate has reduced it one-half. No tc-
tiou is possible in conference except to
agree to either the house or *nate pro
vision or adopt some compromise be-
tween the two. I hope this statement
will save the members of your associa
tion and the memBers of the finance
committee much unnecessary corre
