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 take place this year, it was announc ed today. “1 believe that New Year's Eve mu nicipal dances will keep great num ber* of young women sway from the j exit Influence of the usual celebra tion.*' as Id Mrs. 1-.

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."

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.

"So I bey told my little mother to play J was a baby, and do all, the Ihings the nurse did with the new baby. "That is the reason I have on this dress.
