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.”

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.”

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

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.
It is claimed that the mainte
nance of suoh an agreement, or com
bination, in restraint of trade aud
commerce stifles competition, cre
ates a trust and works great hard
ships.
It iB alleged that the agreement,
or combination, as entered into and
maintained, fixes prices of the prod
ucts handled, without regard to the
supply and demand, and is, in effect,
in direct restrainst of trade and
