“THE WHITE PERIL.”
Under the above title Mr. William
Garrott Brown has a thoughtful ar
ticle on industrial conditions In the
South, in the North American Review
for December. Mr. Brown is a native
of Alabama, a graduate of Harvard
and was a lecturer on American his
tory of that university. His nativity,
training and broad mindedness have
rendered him peculiarly fitted to a con
servative study of the subject of eco
nomic conditions at the South. He has
lately made an extended trip through
this section for the purpose of inquir
ing especially into those conditions.
His tour extended from Virginia to
Texas, through practically all of the
cotton belt. What he saw and learned
convinced him that a great and mo
mentous change is quietly taking place
in the basis of the entire industrial
system of the South.
“The white peril,” as Mr. Brown
sees it, threatens the negro. Reduced
to its lowest terms, it means that the
white race is pushing the black race
out of its position of advantage as the
mainstay of labor In the South.
There are noted two movements
of population, an exodus and an
immigration. There is a steady move
ment of negroes from the country to
the towns and to the North, and at
the same time there is a fairly steady,
and apparently increasing, inflow of
whites into the country districts. The
gain of whites from without is not as
large as that of some of the Northern
and Western states, but it is persistent
and of a character that is likely to
add to the permanent population.
Farmers from the North and West are
continually moving in and settling on
lands that were formerly cultivated by
negroes. And the lands, under white
cultivation, are proving more produc
tive than ever before. The complaint
is common that the negro, as a farm
hand, is deteriorating. Nor is this all.
It is harder and harder to bind him
to any sort of service for a considera
ble and profitable length of time.
This latter statement Is true of the
cities as well as of the country, and
white men in ever increasing numbers
are being found to do the work that
was formerly done exclusively by ne
groes; and they invariably do it bet
ter. Domestic service seems to of
fer about the only exception, but
abundant fault is being found with the
negro as a domestic servant and it is
by no means certain that the negro’s
practical monopoly in that line will
be long continued.
The negro has failed to establish
himself in the new industries of the
South. He is not to be found in the
cotton factories. He has been tried
in several such factories and has failed
in every instance to prove himself a
satisfactory operative. The same is
true of the tobacco factories. Wher
ever there is machinery to be handled
the negro has failed to measure up to
the requirements of efficient service.
As common laborers, too, the negroes
have lost ground. They have been re
placed on many of the New Orleans
docks by white men from Southern Eu
rope, and several of the lines of Mis
sissippi steamers have replaced their
negro roustabouts with Italians. The
proportion of negroes employed as
truckmen, draymen, teamsters, rail
road workers, fishermen, oystermen,
engineers, firemen, barbers, launderers,
carpenters and masons is said to have
been shown by the census reports to
be much smaller in 1900 than in 1890.
In this city it is to be noticed that
white persons are now employed in
lines of gainful occupation that were
formerly monopolized by negroes. Fif
teen years or so ago the barbers, wait
ers, bootblacks and hackmen were
practically all black. Now a fair pro
portion of such workers are white and
the number of them is steadily increas
ing.
It is Mr. Brown’s belief that the
change that Is taking place in Indus
trial conditions is not only an In
vasion by the white race of the field
formerly occupied by the black race,
but also indicates an increase in the
demanded standard of efficiency, which
the negro has not met. The negro’s
future, therefore, depends upon him
self and his industry. If he would
survive he must meet the fierce compe
tition to which he is being subjected.
He must demonstrate by work—hard
and intelligent work—that he is worthy
of a place in the economic scheme of
things. “The white man whom the ne
gro has to fear is no longer the man
who would force him to work. It is
the man who would take work away
from him. The danger, the immedi
ate menace, is rivalry rather than op
pression."
ELECTRICITY VS. STEAM.
For a number of years the predic
tion has been frequently made that
electricity would eventually replace
steam as the motive power of trunk
line railroads. Many practical engin
eers are still of this opinion, basing
It on the changes that have been made
in suburban transportation since the
perfection of the electrical trolley.
Still, the time does not seem to be
close at hand when the steam locomo
tives will be sent to the scrap heap.
They are abundantly in evidence now,
and are doing good service; and the
railroads are building more and more
of them.
Meanwhile some of the great railway
systems are making progress in exper
iments with electricity as an adjunct
to steam. The New York Central Rail
road a few days ago tested one of the
seventy electric locomotives that it
has ordered to hundle its passenger
traffic into and out of New York city.
This sample electric machine devel
oped a speed of sixty miles an hour
with nine heavy sleeping cars, and in
one spurt run at the rata of seventy
miles an hour. In a brush with the
regular st earn “flyer” of the road, the
electric machine mude considerably
greater speed than the steam machine.
The Hartford and New Haven road

lead of Ihe New York Optra! In (he
adoption of electric apparelue for haul

for the propulsion of through trains
and not merely to haul them out of
town, where a steam engine will be
coupled on.
But the future of electrical traction
depends upon the cheapening of the
motive power. At present steam pow
er must be converted Into electricity
before it can be used in locomotives.
As is very well known, every time
power is converted from one form to
another, it suffers considerable loss.
The steam locomotive is a direct-act
ing machine; the electrical locomotive
is a machine the power for which
must be converted one, two or three
times, with accompanying loss of en
ergy, before it becomes available. Un
der existing conditions, therefore, the
steam locomotive Is the more economi
cal. But the day may not be far dis
tant when water power will be made
available for railroad energy; then we
may expect to see a fight to a finish
between steam and electric locomo
tives.
ITALIANS FOlt THE SOUTH.
It is understood that the Italian am
bassador at Washington, Sig. Mayor
des Planches, Is devoting himself to
the task of turning the tide of Italian
immigration from the North and East
into the South. The ambassador be
lieves, and no doubt correctly, that it
would be better for his countrymen
who come to the United States from
agricultural districts in Italy to seek
the South rather than to stop in the
crowded cities of the North and East
or the coal mines or railroad camps
of the Middle West He has gathered
statistics which show that the vast
majority of the Italian immigrants are
from agricultural communities. That
they do not seek to become farm la
borers or If arm owners when they
reach America Is due to the fact that
they are very poor and must begin
earning money at once to provide for
their immediate wants. Their urgent
necessities drive them Into the ac
ceptance of the first work they can
find at any wages they can get.
Ambassador des Planches is sure
that, with the proper sort of encour
agement, a considerable percentage of
these incoming Italians could be di
verted to the South, with profit to the
immigrants and as well to the South
ern section. During several seasons
past the South has lacked for farm
laborers, and in the cities the servant
problem has bepome more or less
acute. The ambassador feels that a
reasonable influx of Italian immigra
tion would remedy these conditions, and
might indeed help In the solution of
the race problem. Recently some tens
of thousands of Italians, from the ag
ricultural districts of Southern Italy,
have settled in Louisiana. They are
said to have prospered and become
good citizens. They become small
farmers, buying their lands on time
and paying for them from the results
of their crops. They have engaged In
cotton and rice planting. All of the
members of the family work in the
fields, and there Is no trouble experi
enced by them In either cultivating or
harvesting the crops. They are frugal
and energetic, and some families that
have been in the state three years
have already paid for their lands.
Some time in January the ambassa
dor purposes visiting the South to see
what he can do in the matter of plac
ing more of his countrymen in this
section. He will visit the Carolina*,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas for the purpose of
ascertaining the prices of lands, the
area of lands available for settlement
by Immigrants and how the immigra
tion of agricultural Italians would be
regarded by the people of the states
named,
AN ALL-NIGHT BANK.
An Innovation that is to be tried in
New York is an all-night bank. All
hours, both day and night, will be
“banking hours” with it. Its doors
will never be closed, and relays of
clerks, cashiers and tellers will be
ready at all times to transact busi
ness. It will be situated In tihe heart
of the hotel and theater district,
through which the great night crowds
surge and where emergency needs for
money are apt to be most felt.
It seems rather strange that an in
stitution of this kind has not been
established before, in the great city
with its Immense floating population.
But night emergency demands for
money are not peculiar to New York.
They occur in every city. And when
ever a man, with a bank account, finds
himself unexpectedly short of money
after “banking hours” he must de
pend upon finding some personal or
business friend who is willing to cash
his check for him, or else must bor
row of a friend to tide him over until
morning, if such accommodating per
son can be found. And there can be
no doubt that much indiscreet borrow
ing and lending results from the ln
abality to do business with banks of
evenings and nights.
It is the custom of a very great
many, probably a majority, of em
ploye™ of labor to pay off their help
late in the afternoon, after the day's
work is done. In the pockets of too
many workingmen the pay envelopes
are both heavy and hot, hence they are
depleted before "banking hours" ar
rive after pay day. The all-night bank
will afford an opportunity for such
workers to put their wuges away and
save them, and to remove from them
selves the temptation to spend more
than they can afford.
The complexities of modern life make
a large night population a necessity
in every city, and the army of night
workers and night travelers Is steadi
ly becoming larger. Various other
kinds of business have provided for
the night people, hence It seems mere
ly In the line of progress that the
banking business should do so too.

The Washington Post says the South
Is wrong in paying any attention what
ever to Senator Platt of New York,
Keifer of Ohio, Morrell of Pennsylvania
and other disturbers of the peace, who
are trying to gain a little notoriety by
introducing into Congress bills to re
duce the South's representation. “What
perplexes us,” says the Post, “is the
South’s simplicity in lending itself to
this astounding comedy. The specta
cle is touching enough. Here are cer
tain Republican gentlemen who think
It worth their while to broach a con
troversy in which they have nothing to
lose and everything to gain, but which
would fall flat and expire of Inanition
if no one noticed it.” The notice that
the Southern men are taking of the
thing is what gives it life. There is
no more prospect of Platt's bill, or of
Morrell’s bill, passing Congress than
there is of the sky falling; and yet a
whole lot of pother is being made
about them. Platt’s power is broken,
and nobody knows or cares anything
about Morrell.
The investigation into the charges
against Federal Judge Swayne of Flor
ida seems to have greatly strength
ened the case against him. From the
evidence and the report of the Con
gressional Committee, it appears that
Judge Swayne must have been under
the Impression that a railroad thrown
into a receivership under his jurisdic
tion became, to all Intents and pur
poses, his private property, in so far
as making personal use of it
was concerned. It furthermore ap
pears that the judge did not
keep very close tab on what
It cost him to live, but charged the
score to the government at the rate
of 810 per day, whatever the waiters’
checks might have shown. All things
considered, it looks at present as if
the Judge would have to go.
The republic of Colombia, before the
secession of Panama, had issued a
large amount of bonds that are still
outstanding. The Colombian govern
ment thinks that Panama should as
sume responsibility for a considerable
proportion of those bonds. Panama
has replied to Colombia that she is
willing to assume her proportion of
this debt, based on relative popula
tion. But Colombia don’t want to
have it that way. She thinks that
Panama, having received a large sum
for the canal concession, and being
sure of a considerable income In fu
ture, should assume liability for and
pay pretty nearly all of the bonds.
Colombia has made an appeal to the
President of the United States in the
matter, but it is not likely that she
will get a great deal of satisfaction.
Representative Hay of Virginia ob
jects to the use of the terms “minority

Mr. Hav in the course of a debate
with a Republican member the other
day. And that seems to be about the
size of it.

CIRREJiT COMMENT.
The New York Evening Post (Ind.)
says: “It Is a fair question, after all,
whether it is not harder for a Chinese
traveler to get Into the United States
than it is for an American Jew to get
Into Russia. Public affairs are full
of such delightful inconsistencies! The
President complains in his message
because Russia does not issue pass
ports to our Jews, yet a Chinaman
can go through the eye of a needle
almost as easily as he can pass
through the port of San Francisco."
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
“If Mr. Williams and Senator Bacon
will go to their places In the National
Congress and do all they can to main
tain the full representation of the
South and lend themselves to the main
tenance of the Democratic party on
Its old time principles and policies,
they will go a long way toward pre
venting a division of Southern politi
cal sentiment and reconcile the people
to the cheerful acceptance of what
ever legislation radicalism may at this
time have hi store for them. The
new Congress may reduce Southern
representation, but a later one may re
store it. Let us get right and stay
right, and then we will be safe against
the Injury radicalism In either party
inay do us.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says; ‘The spollsmongere In Congress,

Fed on Moonshine.
Congressman John Sharp Williams
asserts that Henry Watterson solemn
ly warned him against saying any
thing humorous, writes Julius Cham
bers in the Brooklyn Eagle. “Be sol
emn!” Watterson Is said to have ad
vised. “Wrap a mantel of dignity about
you and never let It slip off.”
Col. Watterson’s advice reminds me
of some very sage wisdom I heard the
late Charles Nordhoff give to a young
man who seriously contemplated going
Into journalism. The youngster had
taken a degree in college and came to
Mr. Nordhoff with a letter of Intro
duction.
The aged editor, who began life as
a sailor before the mast and never ef
faced the glamor of that career, stud
ied the boy a while and then said
gravely: “I can only give you advice,
because I do not hold an executive po
sition and have no authority to make
appointment.
“But what I shall say to you is of
great value, if you can understand it.
Remejnber this; Every time you walk
up Broadway and every time you walk
down Broadway something happens
that never has happened before and
never will occur again. Discover it.
See it. Describe it, and—and, well, if
you do that your future is assured.”
I heard this myself and didn’t know
whether to smile or not. The young
man went out profoundly impressed,
and, I dare say, grateful. He had
been handed out a bit of moonshine
and nothing more.
If a man who has to earn his living
by writing could see what nobody
else can behold and put it on paper
as nobody else can, he would be a prod
igy like Kipling or Hawthorne.
Lift Ip Our Voice.
A professor at the head of the de
partment of music, in one of our col
leges, asked a young man, not long
ago, at a rehearsal, in which the whole
college took part, why he did not join
in the singing, says Success.
“I cannot sing,” the young man an
swered. “I have no voice.”
“Shout, then,” replied the professor,
“make a noice with the others, for we
need it.”
“I was studying once in Berlin,” he
continued, to the students, “and we
were drilled in some of the great ora
torio choruses every noon by Herr
H —, one of the finest directors in the
world. I had never sung a note In
my life, and refrained from taking
part, because I was afraid of putting
the others out of pitch.
“After three rehearsals he came to
me, saying; ‘Young man, why do you
not sing?’
“ ‘Oh,’ I replied, ‘I cannot sing a
note, and should only put the others
out.'
“ ‘Bah!’ returned the great man, 'in
the chorus your voice will be grand. I
have missed It already, and shall look
for you at the next rehearsal.’
“So, you see,” he said, “that, when
we work together, every one counts,
and the man who does not take part
is either over-modest or lazy, both
very bad fraults.”
An Ambiguous Answer.
J. Sloat Fassett, the lawyer and cap
italist of Elmira, who was at the Fifth
Avenue a day or two ago, gives an il
lustration of how good intentions
thoughtlessly expressed may some
times be wrongfully interpreted, says
the New York Globe.
“While waiting for a train In the
Albany station a few weeks ago a man
stepped up to the news stand where I
happened to be customer. He appeared
to be a regular customer. Picking up a
10-cent magazine, he began fumbling
in his pockets for the money to pay
for it when he discovered he was short
of the necessary amount.
“ ‘Oh, never mind; pay to-morrow,’
said the newsman, noting his custom
ers' embarrassment.
“ ‘But what if I should die before
then?’ Inquired the other.
“ ‘Oh, veil, it won’t be much of a
loss,’ was the reply.
“Well, the man actually took of
fense at the remark, and slamming
down the magazine, walked away.”
He Shot the Fire In.
A bright Pelham lad was given a
dime the other day by a visitor to
whom he had been exhibited as the
pride of the household, says the Phil
adelphia Record. The youngster
promptly lost the coin under the bed
In his room, and in searching for it
with a lighted candle set fire to the
bedding. He found the dime and went
downstairs without saying a word
about the conflagration. A few min
utes later the head of the houae sniff
ed suspiciously. “I smell smoke,” he
remarked. "Something's burning." “It's
my room,” admitted the youthful
prodigy, “but,” he added reassuringly,
with a flash of the brightness in which
the family took so much pride, “the
fire can't get out. I closed the door
tight.” The fire department arrived in
time to save the house.

The wise old rat approached the

As he did so he saw another rat ap

He stopped.
The other rat stopped also.
He winked with his right eye.
The other rat winked with the left
