PENDLETON, President and Manager. C, R. PENDLETON . . LOUIS PENDLETON. , "THE 80RR0W OF THE 80UTH.” Such la the title of an editorial in ••The World'* Work" for December, whose editor is Mr. Walter H. Page, himself a Southern man, aelf-sxpatrt* ated and politically naturalised In the North. The article Is booed on a quo tation from Senator Bacon, as follows: “Very well, let the North run the gov ernment. we Shell continue to be aa good cltlsene an vtr> can. But our hearts are broken because the people of the North are at!U unwilling to receive ua Into full national fellowship." Mr. Page sees a “pathetic" tone In ; Editor* Ssnttor Bacon'* word*, but utterly 1 falls to see the excellent sarcasm lm- i 1 bedded !n them. He ought to be wise the TELEGRAPH IN ATLANTA The Telegraph can ba found on sals at the Kimball Housa and the Pied mont Hotal in Atlanta. THE B08T0N HERALD 8PEAK8. The Boston Herald has appeared to ocotpt Its punishment with great meek- noM. lying low and saying little. Whether this was because It quaked in Its boots for fear of worse to come, or because It wlehed to sleep over It {n order to exercise a desirable res traint upon the words that thronged for utterance, we can not say. What wo do know, however, 1* that when It finally came out with a column and three-quarter editorial on December 15, on "The Freedom of the Press,” It ex pressed Itself with remarkable caution and good temper. Its only remark that could reason ably give the least offense Is that “on (the 2tth of November the Washing ton sky was black with clouds chsrged with presidential wrath." hut this may please more thsn offend because It rails up visions of Imperial Jove and hi* thunderbolts. It may be that the Her sld take* greater risks when It ven * tures to quote from the constitution a follows: Congress shall make no taw respecting an establishment »»t rHiglon, sr prohibit- l Ing th* free exercise thereof; or aorldflnf , the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people pescesbly to as semble and to petition the government for a redress of grievences. As If dreading to he too assertive In the presence of so mighty sn sdver •ary. the Herald puts Its main plea In the form of questions. Yet It exhibits courage when Its says: "If a president can, for personal or political reasons, close the great departmenta of state to on* newspaper, ho can close them to > all, and for the aame reasons governors can do likewise, and likewise mayors of tit lea. What. then, becomes of the freedom of the press? If one clause of the article of the constitution guar antootng tho liberty of the press can he directly or Indirectly annulled, then th* companion clauses which deny to congress, the Immediate representa tive of the people, the right to abridge the freedom of speech, or to prohibit the free exercise of religion or the right of the people peaceably to as eemhle, and to petition the govern ment for a redreea of grievances, can be similarly treated. All Iheoe clauses In tho Drat amendment stand or fall logotbsr. Is it any wonder, thsn. that an arbitrary act, doatgned to cripple a single newspaper, powerful or weak, should have met with almost universal ro probation?" Wo Imagine that tho "universal re probation" surprised no one exoept Mr. llooaovelt himself and a few of tots inoet adoring parasites. NO MYSTERY TO THE MAN OF FAITH. The , steady decline In the exceea of a richly-endowed Taskegee are Imper atively needed on every Georgia plan tation! With all due respect, to Booker Washington, and to the negro Idlers In Atlanta, we most submit that In our humble opinion they have overlooked the Chief and most important reason. The Washington Post points a very accurate Anger toward this roost im portant reason, when. In discussing, with many misgivings, tho growing demand in the South for Immigration from Europe, It recently expressed It self as follows: Tt !■ to be said for the venture, how- maloa over eating deve cm Ilfs. Ir io*o of mak but Incrcos consul from the latter d the other w a highly inter- r!v!Hxe<! tnod- eountry the ex- only maintained »ch succeeding i to l*TO. From tide has turned the first period mentioned wars and other dangerous occupations entered Into by men In a new country made a large excess of males desirable. During the second period mentioned, with only one kiltie war and pi mi\ end. a I not dentrab Vtded. The varl* having come to r of male* was not been pro- e relative num- been, as a contemporary puts It. "seem to conform to the requirements of so ciety to a remarkable degree. Be cause war was a natural condition of mankind, and because the dangerous vocations naturally fell to the males. It woo considered that the matter was in telligently managed when males were everywhere in a large majority. Wars, however, have almost reared, labor’ saving Inventions have permitted men to evade many dangerous employments and women have entered Into Industrial pursuits In vast numbers. The males no longer run more risks than do the females. In the matter of fortory fires and explosions women Incur more dangers. There being no special de mand for an excess of melee, we ese a steady decline In their relative num bers.** The centetnperery we have quoted thin varying enough to understand that Senator Bacon could not actually mean that anybody In the South is broken-heart ed because the North Is solidly Repub lican and anti-Southern. No such pu erile and "pathetic" condition afflict* any sensible Southerner. We all know perfectly why the Routh Is solid and why the North Is solidly opposed to our position. W* also understand that our solidity will continue because St Is indispensable to our domestic civiliza tion and peace. Therefore we are not broken-hearted that the people of tbs North do not fall on our necks and weep over us as erring brothers. As for "full national fellowship" ws have It already, for our full quota of senators and representatives have their seats In the congress, and that Is as full a recognition and fellowship our legal rights demand. All elso would be mere gift nnd grace from a majority party to a minority opposl lion. Ho, on that score, we have *no call to be "heart-broken." It would be well for Mr. Page. Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Anybody-KIse to understand that In the Houth our hearts are not rended because ws do not hold the administration, occupy the office* and fatten on the privileges nnd provender of the government. All we expect, nnd do not get, Is American Justice nnd a sqdnre deal as good cit izens. Mr. Page complains that th# South doss not lay hold upon the vital, living probisms of the national Ilfs and give up "this unnecessary * concentration of public thought upon one question"— the negro problem! Which shows that Mr. Page, ns a Southern man. has for gotten, or wilfully Ignores, ninny IhlngM that he should remember. Who made this negro problem, any how? Who In It that la everlnsttngly thrusting It o n the Houth In hateful ways? Who put forward Rooaevelt, Crumpacksr, Platt and other marplots to bait and bulldoze ths Mouth for re fusing to put tho negro In charge of Southern governments and social In terests? There would he no considerable ne gro problem In ths Houth If there were no North. There would bo no slav ery, no peonage, no Injustice, no de nial of natural nnd tnnttennble rights for any negro In the Houth to lament, If the two races could bs freed from Northern agitation long enough to mutually adjust their civic and Indus trial relations. A modus vlvendl largely satisfactory to both would be found. The Houthern white men do not hate or desire to harm the negro— quite tho reverse; and tho Southern negro knows that his survival as a ett- laen of the Routh Is dependent upon the sympathy and generosity of hts Houthern white fellow-dtlson. Hut If the North will Insist that tho Houth must remain solid politically In order to safeguard Ita social, civic and political Institutions, In other words. Its Anglo-Raxon civilisation. It may bs sure thut we will accept the situation with a welcome rather thsn with bro ken hearts. Mr. Page, Indeed. Is welcome to write some more and In doing so to ■ay to the North that the Houth meang stay solid against negro equality, negro suffrage and negro government forever end a day!" The only way this solidity can be broken and the ne gro put on top Is to do It once more as It was done before—by reducing the Houthern states to territorial satrapies and hols taring negro supremacy with a wilderness of federal bayonets! And even then we will not be heart broken! THAT~AUTHORITATIVE EXPLA NATION. The New York Tribune has learned from Booker Wasting ton why negro labor Is becoming so unreliable and •cares In the rural districts of the Houth. Ths Tuakegee educator went to Atlanta and Interviewed the negro Idlers there In order that ho might far nlah his Northern friends an authorita tive explanation of the conditions mentioned. The explanation la Inter eating. The chief roosona for the <Je section of the farms given by Hooker Washington, who to understood tt pride himself upon not being a poll tlHan or publte agitator of any kind, are ns follows: ev#r. that It scema to be Inevitable.

II.—In spite of re actions the stock market shows an Im proved undertone. Liquidation during the post two week* has thoroughly tested weak spots, and the position of the mar ket has been materially strengthened In consequence. Sensational attacks recent ly made upon the market appear to be losing thslr force, having served the use ful purpose of checking reckless specula tion and creating a more healthy division of opinion. After a break of I to M points In the active stocks there Is natur ally more or less hesitation, but securi ties have been going buck into stronger hands again, and confidence In high quar ters has not been disturbed in any degree by market gyrations or the tactics of sen sational speculators. Ths strongest factors In the situation are the abundance of money, an excellent Investment demand for securities and the promising business outlook. Funds are in ample supply, and there la no fear of monetary disturbance, such as frequently occurs at the close of the year. Both call and time rates are so low that securities bring much more satisfactory returns than money at Interest, Ibis being a pow erful factor In the Investment market. We are Just approaching the January In vestment demand, which always absorbs many millions of securities; but aside from this there 1* a surprisingly good de mand for desirable Investments, especial ly bonds, which haa not been satisfied by recent heavy offerings. Within a few weeks these have Included about $10,000,- 000 Japanese, $25,000,000 New York, $26,- “00.000 Rock Island, $40,000,000 Mexicans nd a number of smaller Issues, besides appears to b Landmark.
