I OUR OF PARKHURST Tliroudl Southern Slates Is Re= Viewed From His Pulpit. “ 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#- JESUP. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, MAY 3. 1111)1. 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.” Texas to Have New Railroad. The contract for the building of the Denison, Bonham and New Orleans road was let at Dennison, Tex. .Friday, the contractors agreeing to build the twenty-five miles of road complete by August 1st. 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. NEUiilAL, OK NOIBINti. 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._____ TO pmivrn KEL OVEK aswir “SWAG. 7 » K nol W1I1 rroee.dm*. to o.t Hack Carter'. Stealing*.
