CLINGING TO THEORY.
The Savannah Press, commenting on
the continued agitation over the Trai
tor Incident In the White House, says
that keeping up this question Is due
largely to republican resentment
against southerners being again ad
mitted to their part in the councils of
the nation, the occasion has been
magnified with the purpose of show
ing the malign influences which south
ern representation in the cabinet has
exercised.
Gleefully Is the New York World
quoted therefore by writers who con
tinue to keep this matter going. The
condemnation of the administration op
this point by one of the strongest dem
ocratic patters in the country is natur
ally pounced upon ss dear proof that
segregation of the races is a wicked
Southern schism. The World declares
that the president was wrong In say
ing that the segregation of negro of
ficials was not a political question.
"Anything,” says the World, "Is a |to
lltlcaj question in this country which
affects the welfare of the people." It
goes on to say that a party which Is
based on the Idea of democracy and
popular rights should not go hack on
its doctrines by adopting a policy so
aristocratic and ao unjust and un-
American “It is a reproach to his ad
ministration and to tlie great political
principles which lie represents."
One can readily fancy the rest with
which this piece of nonsense Ims been
quoted. We would like to hear some
explanation for the assumption that
the colored citizen can be “uplifted" !
by being pushed upon unwilling white
people, but, though there is great la- j
mentation that this form of uplift is
denied him. there is no argument for
it* efficiency vouchsafed us There Is
really no use in talking sense to the j
fanatical theorists on this question.
The rare Instinct ip not a matter of |
geography. It develops to>she extent I
to which the two races are forced to
come in contact with each other. It j
Is wiser to admit and calculate upon
the Inherent qualities of human nature
than to ascribe them to "aristocratic"
leanings. We find that the tendency
for segregation asserts itself quite ns
strongly In the northern cltie*. where
negroes sre numerous ss in the south
Certainly it makes for harmony to
keep the two races separated In their
official as well as hoc in I life and no
amount of thorlsing on this subject Is
going to alter the nature of tt. Ex
perience hae brought the southern
people to a perfectly clear and une
quivocal position upon this question,
hut the people of the north refuse to
recognize the fact that racial instinct
ta one of the combustible qualities In
human nature that should he carefully j
handled.
The persistence and stupidity with '
which many northern bred men and
Women cling to this notion Is truly ,
amazing, yet In their own communities
a.nd their own social establishments
conditions are very little different than j
antong southerners.
NEW YSAR's"’eVE DANCES.
Chicago.—Five municipal dances as a j
sene celebration of New Year's Eve j
and as a counter attraction to the
usual revel in Chicago's csfes will

DRUSILLA’S DILEMMA.
One night after Drusllla had return
ed from (he hospital Bobby Jones pop
ped out of his hox and asked; “What
|is the mutter, Drusllla, have you had
I another accident?"
"Accident?" questioned Drusllla.
"Yes," said Bobby, "you look so
jqueer in that long white dress, and I
j thought that Dot tie with the white
stuff In It might tie medicine. Where
are your own clothes?"
“Well, Bobby Jones, I don't feel
quite sure whether I am having an
i adventure or whether, as you say, I
i have met with an accident.
“This bottle Is filled with milk, and
II is my supper. I was put to bed
with It, because that, is the way they
take
do with the new baby downstairs, and
tu i'iiuse he wears a long dress, I have
to."
“lie!" echoed Bobby Jones. "Do
you mean to tell me,—l)runllla, that a
liny has come to live here all tlio
time?”
"I can’t say whether he hits come to
stay or not, hut he Is my IIRIr moth
er's brother, and I reckon he will live
here."
An Appeal For the Shiloh
Orphanage by Silas X. Floyd
To The lli‘c<il(1:
In mhlitimi to the appeal from the
colored Y. M. <\ A. r**||<»t committee
kindly published in yenterday’ii
Herald, I beg to call the attention of
the white friend© of the Shiloh or
phanage to the fact that the institu
tion, which wan founded and mo long
foHtored by the patient and untifitwr
lnbora of the lute Unci© Dan Mcltor

pregfdon, I am told, that ninoo tho

ion and friend, Mr©. Henry A. Strong,
of Ftocheater, N. Y. on a permanent
financial foundation and that the in
tution no longet needa locaj support.
1 happen to know, on account of my
connection with the management of the
Orphan Home, that thia la an erroneous
belief. The home la supported in large
part by Mrs. Strong and her friends;
and is also supported weekly and al
most dally by many of our own local
white merchants and the self-serific
ing labors of a hand of some thirty or
forty colored women who call them
selves the woman's auxiliary. These
colored people laiae from themselves
and tliefr friends every month from ton
to fifteen dollars and sometimes by
special efforts as much as twenty-five
to thirty dollars a month, all of which
goes to the support of the Shiloh Or
phanage.

"Why will you have to lie a baby?”

"hut the trouble is this rny little
