Tin: NEGROES l\ THE NORTH.
A great many North Carolina negro'-
are going North They aecm to think that
In the Northern states they will tlnd con
ditions more in harmony wMh their alms,
desire* ami aspirations. From some <4
thr statement* concerning them whlcn
are appearing In the Northern papers,
the North Is not taking to them very
kindly. In tost Sunday’* New Tork Time*,
for Instance, there was an editorial ar
ticle from which the following Is en ex
tract:
But In New Jersey and New York It
Is being discovered that while these ne
groes from the South soon learn to de

•Kmewth' servants at all They 'cxnnot
budd Urea, but they iindertsaml the ad
vantages and disregard the danger* of
kerosene oil as a fuel. They permit
kitchens to become as dirty ns pig sties.
Their iinacrustomed hands cannot be
missed with crockery or glassware. They
cannot cook. They are not ashamed lo
beg. They work when they choose; they
quit without consulting the convenience
of the employer. If there was a great
•leal more of this sort of tabor available
in rhls section we should not la; mater
ially better off.
The Times is n good Republican paper,
ami, therefore, |t Is fair to presume that
Ihers is nothing In Its artk-le that Is
based upon race prejudice. It will be no
ticed that the Times says that
•He negroes do no* know how to do
anything well, and that they will not
work steadily. They will work for a few
•lays end then they want to take a rest.
After n while the Northern people will
begin to realise thal the negro race is
not entitled 4o all the sympathy they seem
disposed to give It. If the negroes of the
South were thrifty. Industrious ami am
bitious there would be leas trouble be
tween them and the white people than
there |s. because the negroes would b
conie successful farmers and bettrr cltt
xens. They will n<k work steadily—thal
hi the vast majority of them—and will
not learn to do anything well. That is
why they are not employed In factories.
They cannot be depended upon. The effort
to run a cotton factory In Charleston with
negro lalipr has proven a failure, practi
cally. because the negro operative* are In
attentive when on duty ami the mill su
perintendent 1* never certain when they
depart at night that they will return
next day.
It Is a quest km whether they can be
educated to become reliable mill opera
tive*. It wooki take a generation to solve
that question. It must be admitted, how
ever. that the negro m.iken a very satis
factory k<borer where he I* permitted lo
work When he pleases. If he earns fair
wages ho will render good service about
four days In week. Ho will work five
•lays If his necessities require him to do

work, six days every week the year
around. •
The negro Congressman. White, of
North Carolina, raid j few day* ngo that
he was going to scale tn New York and
that 50.000 people of his race In thM state
would migrate to the North. No doubt
North Carolina would suffer *omc incon
venience for atv title from the tora of so
large a portion of her negro laborer*,
but Ihelr place* would be quickly taken
by white immigrants. North CMrohna
would become n white min's state. All

away from the South Is the presence ot
the negro here. The lowest kind of la

whotly by the negro. He plants and har

would come white men who would per

up Into utile farm*, and the farmer ami
bis family would do the planting and the
harvesting, ard Ihe South would be more
prosperous than ohe Is. But is the negro
likely to And a hearty welcome In the
North? The Inference from what the
Time* nays Is lhal he la hot.
HEM* FOR TEW* STUB It VICTIMS.
Thai the responses to the call for aid
which has been sent from Galveston and
other town* of Texas will be prompt and
liberal there I* no doubt There will be a
public meeting be VI In Ihe Clly Exchange
ro-day. and II can be promised that Sa
vannah will do her full share towards re
lieving the distress of the victims of the
storm.
It will be several days before It Is fully
known how great the disaster at Galves
ton Is. but It la certain that thousands
have been rendered almost. If not entire
ly. destitute, and that other thousand*
will need aw lata nee unlit they can pul
their homes lo shape and get to work
again.
The suffering to not conflned to Galves
ton. A number of towns have been
wrecked and hundredsof farmer* have lost
ihelr crops. In some cities sympathy for
Ihe storm-victims has already taken a
practical shape, and money Is being sent
lo the mayor of Galveston. Within a
very few day* the needy of that city will
have Ihelr Immediate Kama supplied, be
cause the people all over the country,
from their abundance, will contribute lib
erally.
It la to lie hoped that It will appear,
when a careful examination has been
made, that Galveston haa not been so
badly wrecked an the reports thus far
make tt appear. It roust be admitted,
however, that there Is nothing In the dis
patches that Justifies the hope that the
picture of the calamity has been over
drawn. To restore the city the greater
part at U will have to be rebuilt. That It
will be rebuilt there In no doubt, even
■hough il It almost certain that It will
suffer from a similar storm at some fu
ture time. The clly has nuch a splendid
commerce, however, that Its site will
never be abandoned. If It hod not been
for Ihe fear of destructive storms the
city would have grown much faster than
It has.

THE ktllK EI.WTIO*.

Republicans, not being enthusiastic nhout

general rule, voted
The Republican plurality was of course
larger this year than It was two year* ago.
hut the vote of IMIS was not a large one.
There was nothing lo call out a large vole.
The plurality of the Republicans that
year was 21,781. The larger vote this year
was duo of course to the nallonal Inuet In
the campaign.
Il Is probable that the attitude of ex-
Speaker Reed toward* the administration
and 1 lie Republican Philippine policy kept
n great many Republican* away from tha
(oils and led the Independent voters to
cast their ballots for Ibe Democratic tick
et. No doubt the Republicans will suy
that the majority la as large as they ex
pected. but If they take thal posi
tion they will not get eredlt for sin
cerity. They made a very exhaustive can
vas of the state—both parties did Rutl
and they- hoped to get a plurality pretty
nearly. If not quite, as large as thal of
USS. Had Ihelr hope* been realised they
would have gone before the country and
claimed that the gold Democrat* were
still voting with them, ami that, there
fore. there ws* no doubt that they wood
sweep the country at the election in No
vember.
The Vermont and Maine elections make
It certain (hot the gold Democrats are
very generally voting with thelt party
again. That being the case, there ore
strong reasons for saying thal Mr. Bryan,
besides the Southern slates, will get all
of Ihc mates In which Mr. McKinley was
victorious, by 0 small majority, tn 1886.
There are enough of those stales to Insure
a majority of Iho electoral votes for Mr
Bryao.
The Democrats believe that they have
an excellent chance of carrying New
York. Much depends upon the kind of a
slats ticket the Democrats there nominate.
The result of the Vermont and Maine elec
tions will assist the Democrat* greatly in
getting a full Democratic vote. That Mr.
Bryan’s prospect* are becoming brighter
there la no doubt.
nnvi\ and the homey qi estioy.
The Republican papers are very much
exercised because Mr Bryan does not
practically abandon the question of Im
perialism and talk about the silver ques
tion. They are ronttnually calling on him
to answer some questions put to htm a
couple of weeks ago by a representative
of the New York Herald. Thera Is no
doubt that he will answer these questions
In good time He has two or three letter*
of acceptance to write, and In one or the
other of them he will say enough about
the silver question to satisfy everybody,
except the Republican newspapers that
•ro trying to make political capital out
of his refusal to permit them to dictate
to him aa to how he shall conduct his
campaign.
That It Is not hi* purpose to say noth
ing on the silver question I* evident from
hs Milwaukee *| rah Ist Hatu-day Ik
that speech he spoke as frankly on that
question as he did In any speech he de
livered In IfISH. He raid that the Demo
cratic party stood. In respect to sliver,
just where It sto at In the last presiden
tial campaign, and he gave reasons why
It has not changed Its p sit lon.
Among other things he said that the Re
publican tarty four years ago was In fa
vor of bimetallism with the aid of for
eign nations, and that the Democratic
party was In favor of It without the aid
of any other ration The Republican par
ty. he said, has changed Its position In
respect to silver, and Is now In favor of
the gold standard, while the Democratic
parly Is still battling for bimetallism on
the same Ines on which tt battled for It
In ISK.
The Republican party need not be afraid
that Mr. Bryan will k.ep alienee on the
atlvrr question If he talked It In Michi
gan where (here was no hope of doing his
cause any g od by urging bimetallism, he
will talk It anywhere He Is not saying
so much about It now as he did tn IKS*!,
simply because his party’s platform de
clares that Imperialism Is the paramount
Issue In this campaign It Is hi* duty,
therefore, to give most of hts time to that
Issue. The country has heard the silver
question discussed until It knows ull of
the arguments for and against It. The
public is not so well Informed, however,
tn respect to Imperialism. It Is right and
proper, therefore, that ilr Bryan should
give the greater part of his speeches to
the paramount Issue, the t.-aue of Impe
rialism.
We have waited for several days for a
denial of the story, published recently in
Ihe Associated Pros dispatches; thal
In the neighborhood of Godfrey, 111.. nwm
led by the Rev. Owen W. Rone, was
scouring the country In search of two ne
groes for the purpose of lynching them.
The reverend lender of the mob was
quoted as having expressed the determtn
iiih.ii to hang one of the negroes by the
heels and shoot his body full of lend.
N'o correction of the report being forth
coming. we are forced to the conclusion
that H was true a* originally sent out.
sis I that If Ihe mot. caught Ihe negroes,
tt "loat" them in the wool* after car
rying out the Rev. Mr. ftexe's Iden. Wo
do nor rn-ali that anywhere In the South,
at any time or under any circumstances,
a lynching mob was he rded by a minister
of the gospel. Southern ministers Invari
ably are lo be found on Ihe side of law
and order.
It now transpires that the death by as
sassination of King Humbert of Italy was
foretold by a French fortune teller; not
*w
• hat of hts wife. Thl*. however, la not
so wonderful an It might seem. It would
be pretty safe lo hazard the prediction
that any certain monarch of Europe
would die by the hand of an assassin.
There are many would-be assasslna al
ways on Ihe lookout for an opportunity
to use bullet or knife upon each crowned
head, so that the prediction of violent
death Is a reasonable prophecy, even II It
naver occurs.

—A "bread factory," being erected In
Milwaukee, Is to have some novel, but
very desirable, sanitary features. All the
Ingredients are to be tested In a labora

work In full view of the public, at long
tables stationed tn front of wide plate
glass windows. Each man will be required
lo war a special suit of clothes provided
by the manag- mem. and to lake at least

connected with ihe lockers on the upper
floor. Moreover, he may not smoke, chew
or drink and be a worker In th* bread
factory. This sanitation Is to extend even
beyond the Itmlta of the factory, for every
loaf of bread on being taken from the oven
will be wrapped In a sheet of waxed pa

—On the grounds which hove been se

Interstate ami West Indian Exposition, nt
Charleston, there stands an old colonial
home, which was Ihe scene of lavish com

gone by. It is propraed lo restore this
old home, now somewhat touched by the
tooth of Time, to something of Its original
slate, and to collect within Its wall* val
uable relics of the |w*st. No state In th*
Union, perhaps, contains more of these
relies than South Carolina, and some of
these are not only notable as antiques, but
have the added value of being historic.

—As gold-bearing snnd and qunrlx ars
frequently found In districts where the
water supply is scant, efforts have been
made by many to discover a process for
fVlnirMnir •h* nr#>{AiM mpi| KotH #k
us* of water. A recent patent seeing to
have some of the requirements, and may
he worked successfully on s large scale.
The gold-sand or a flnely crushed gold
bearing rock Is poured loro • metallic
hoiper. from the bottom of which II
pour* out In a fine stream, much ns the
snnd passes through the neck of an hour
glass. The hopper and It* contems ars
kept highly charged by means of an elec-
Irlcal machine. Near Ihe falling stream of
snnd is placed a cylinder or knob, also
•tactrifled with the same kind of electric
ity. positive or negative. Aa the stream
falls past this, electrical repulsion Is pro
duced. but the particles of sand being non
conductors. are not so highly charged as
the particles of gold, and hence are not so
violently repelled. In consequence the
stream divides Into two |mrls. The sand
being lightly repelled, falls straight down,
while the gold, more strongly Influenced
fulls lo one side, nnd Is caught In a sep
arate reeeprarle. It Is claimed for the pro.
cess that It results In a concentration of
the highest class, and thal the tailings or*
almost valueless, as IMtle or no gold Is
left In them.
—Soms Interesting experiments upon the
corrosion of metal* In sea water have
been made during the last two years at
Kiel, says the Electrical Engineer The
method followed was to cut In two twelve
samples of the metals, to be tested, nine
of Which were then sutonerged In the
sea water, while, the other three were
held to serve for purposes of comparison
At the end of eight months three of the
specimens Immersed were, token out of
the water and compared with those that
had been retained outside. At the end of
sixteen month* three more were taken
out. and at the end of twenty-four months
the three last These samples were com
posed of alloys of copper rich In alnc of

sults The alloys of copper and tin and

containing Iron resisted corrosion perfect

showed a more or less notable attack!
An Important |olnt for the prevention of
corrosion Is to avoid placing these alloys
in contact with metals that are electro
positive in relation to them.
