REFERS TO CANDLER CRITICISM
Says Northerners Dislike Negroes
But Do Not flake the Fact
Public Like Southerners.
The Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst
preached Sunday at the Madison
Square Presbyterian church, New
York city, on topics connected with
his recent trip south. He also made
an incidental reply to Governor Can¬
dler, who was reported as having de¬
nounced those northerners who took
an interest in educational matters in
the south.
Dr. Parkhurst said that the party of
northern people who recently made
the trip referred to did it not decause
hhey had any special interest in the
south as a distinct section, but be¬
cause they were conscious of the unity
which makes the north and south mem¬
bers of each other. The conference
held at Winston-Salem, in North Car¬
olina, he said, was characterized by
the utmost frankness on both sides,
and yet from first to last not an em¬
bittering word was spoken. Referring
to Governor Candler’s criticism, Dr.
Parkhurst said they would not have
been made “had the governor of Geor¬
gia, as did the governor of North Car¬
olina, come into direct touch with the
personnel of the conference, or for
live minutes respired the atmosphere
which the conference exhaled.”
Referring to the estimation in which
the people of the senth and those of
the north hold the negro, Dr. Park¬
hurst said:
“The southerner does not like the
negro any better than the average
northerner does, and the two carry
themselves toward the negro with
just about the same amount of Chris¬
tian consideration—-only of the two
the southern white man has perhaps
this advantage, that he does not make
quite so flamboyant a pretense of lov¬
ing the negro as his northern confrere
does. The southern white man di#-

likes the negro, and owns up to it.
The white man in the north dislikes
the negro and lies about it.”
The preacher said further :
“The indiscriminating act by which
the negroes had conferred upon them
i the right to vote was one of those
blunders that it is not easy to
from after it i 3 once committed, but
which it would seem we ought to have
had northern statesmanship sufficient¬
ly intelligent to prevent.
“The counsel that both the north¬
ern and southern friends of the negro
are now giving him is to keep quiet
upon the whole suffrage matter, to
keep out of politics, not to talk about
the constitution, not to insist upon his
rights, but to attend industriously to
the work of getting himself well
ready—which he is not now ready —
for what God and the country and the
future may have in store for him.”
Dr. Farkhurst closed by the follow¬
ing general reference to present condi¬
tions among southern people:
“The south does not altogether love
us, but no one there hates us nearly
as much as it would be perfectly nat¬
ural for them to hate us. They are
all glad that slavery is done, they are
all glad that they are in the union.
They all glory in the flag, even while
in tender bereavement they lay flow
ers upon the graves of the confederate
dead. We belong to them and they
belong to us, and every deed of kind¬
ness wisely rendered, every word of
sympathetic interest prndently spoken,
every new commercial relation and
every interchange of hospitalities dis
cree tly arranged will be so much con¬
tribution to that perfect readjustment
of relations which shall make for the
enrichment of out c rnmon history.”

ALLEGED BORDER CAUGHT.
Macon Police Think They Have One of a
]>race of Highwaymen.
The police of Macon, Ga., think
they have definite clues that will en¬
able them to find the men who robbed
the local express safe between Macon
and Gordon Thursday night. One
man is now in custody. He has given
two different names.
The antborities say the chain of cir¬
cumstances against him is very strong.
The other man is being searched for.

England Has a Settled Opinion
In Regard to our Isthmian
Canal.
According to a Washington dispatch
the administration has succeeded at
last in securing a collection of opin¬
ions from the leaders of the senate of
all political parties upon which to hate
negotiations for a new isthmian canal
treaty to replace the IJay-Pauncefote
treaty. In other words, it is aware
of the wishes of most of the senators
and the only problem before the state
department is to frame a treaty that
will reflect those views, insuring
two-thirds vote for ratification, and
shall yet be acceptable to the British
government.
If, as reported from London, the
sine qua non is a neutrality o lause,
officials here feel lliat success o u this
point seems within reach. It is ex¬
pected that two drafts of a treaty will
, ts framed , , , before , , long, probably , , , the ,,
latter part of June, on Mr. Hay s re
turn from the west. It is hhrdly ex
pected, however, that final results will
be obtained before next autumn, after
the return of Lord Pauncefote from
London.
A London special says: No definite
decision has yet been reached by the
foreign office here regarding the prob¬
able attitude of the United States sen¬
ate toward the projected Nicaragua
canal treaty. The negotiations pro¬
ceeding on the subject of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in this connection
are understood to be based on the
sine qua non of neutrality of the
canal. If this can be definitely as
Mired it now seems likely Great Brit
ain will agree to abrogate the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, though there is still
the possibility of an endeavor on the
part of Great Britain to simultaneously
bring up the Alaskan boundary mat
ter. This last contingency is officially
described as being merely a question pursued
of policy not very likely to be
if the United States is content to make
the caual neutral.
AS A HIGHWAYMAN’
James Callahan Must Answer For Loot
Received From Cudahy.
A special from Omaha, Neb., says:
After examing thirty-five witnesses the
state rested Thursday afternoon in
the prosecution of James Callahan for
the abduction of Eddie Cudahy. The
defense moved to dismiss on the
ground that the allegation of robbery
had not been sustained. The was
excused and the motion argued. At
torney McFarland, for the defense,
claimed that Mr. Cudahy had given up
his gold of his own free will, had gono
fully armed to the rendezvous and had
been put in no bodily fear. The of¬
fense, therefore did not constitute
highway robbery. for the state,
General Corwin,
argued that although Mr. Cudahy was
put to no personal fear, he gave up
his money under stress of anxiety leBt
his son should be deprived of his
sight. This constituted au active
force, the attorney said, and operated
identically as if he had been held up
by a highwayman. Judge Baker sus
tained this view._____
