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 mand ii; a month to 1*7:111 with, nud i-peedily threaten to leave If their wag's lie not ndvano-d 10 sl3 or 82". they are expensive at any price. They are not •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 *o, but he cannot ho depemled upon to 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 ihnt keep* a great white Immigration away from the South Is the presence ot the negro here.

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.

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*. The election In Maine was a disappoint ment o the Republicans I ** a er disappointment to them than the eiec tton In Vermont. In !M*> the Republican plurality w 48,377. This year the returns Indicate that It I* about 33,(H>-* falling off of more than li.w vote*. I* seem* that the Democrats were more en thurlastlr than the Republican*, or ele many HcpublUort* voted the Democratic tt, ket. The truth probably la that the Republicans, not being enthusiastic nhout the Philippine policy of the Republican parly, many of them temslned away from the polls, whllo the Democrats, heartily approving the position ui •••-■• •“ condemning the course that has been pur sued in respect lo the Philippine*, ns a 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. Mr. Richard Harding Davit Is having I '.>f*of fun. He has got a quarrel on with the Earl of Roaslyn, an Englishman ; who. according to Mr. Davis, showed the whllo feather recently In South Af ; rics.

All the Ingredients are to be tested In a labora tory before being used. The bakers will 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 on bath a day In the bathroom that ‘a 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 per. and so sent out to the market. The grocery I toy may handle It. but the cus tomer who buys It may eat of It In per fect serenity of mind, knowing that It has not -.-on*- Into contact with his grimy hands or been plied u|*m dirty counters.

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 Inonxe free from glnc, of pure aluminum bronxe and of aluminum hronxe. contain ing * ’me glnc or xlnc and Iron. The last showed an especial resistance to corrosion not having been attacked at all in two year* of Immersion The alloy* contain ing X nc gave the least satisfactory re sults The alloys of copper and tin and of copper and aluminum, and the hronaes containing Iron resisted corrosion perfect ly. although th* y were In contact with the Iron In the water. The brongea con taining iron placed In the sea water In contact with the bronxea containing tin. 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.
