class mail matter. Friday, Jan. 9. WHY NEGROES ARE APPOINTED. The Indianola, case where a negro woman has been appointed mistese, is creating some feeling.

The woman, it is said, became alarmed for her safety and recently tendered her resignation. Tbe President has refused to accept it. He seems anxious if not determined to have the woman hurt, provided there is some one in community mean enough to do so. His hope seems to be that she will be hurt, in order that he may have an excuse to vent some of that spleen and malignity of which he seems full to tbe bursting point, upon the people of the South, which section of this Union he hates with an indescribable inten sity, and is panting for a chance to punish. Usually when a postmaster asks to be allowed to resign he is allowed to do so Not so in tbis case.

This postmaster or postmistress, as the case is, was appointed by him and by the gee whilikins she is going to remain in that office if the president breaks a trace in his efforts to keep her there. Now we do not know how good a postmaster this woman has made, she may be all right and she may not. It is of doubtful propriety to appoint a woman to such a position any way, and very doubtful to appoint a negro woman under any circumstances. In these cases the President is not appointing negroes because of their worth or for race elevation, or to better the service, or for any philanthropic motive, but simply to show the white people down South that he can do so. and to say to them "Now stop it if you can." There are plenty of Republicans about Indianola who would make as good a postmaster as tbis woman, if not the Lord be merciful unto them.

But this does not suit the President. He is looking for negroes who have some capability, and he is cramming them in upon the people of the South just to gratify that deep feeling of hatred he bears toward them and evinces on every occasion where he has had a chance. For our part we have never admired this man in any partic lar. He is viudictive.he is is domineering, be seems intensely and unaccountably mean at heart. We doubt if he ever had a very close or good friend, we doubt whether there is a real generous impulse Jn his whole make up, we doubt if anybody ever wanted to get very close to him.

His shooting of the Spaniard in the back is an x-ray which lays bare his real inner nature. One can see him now biting himself in his mad desire to get a chance to humiliate the white peo pie dowr South. His appointment of a negro at Charleston was an evidence of his kind of gratitude. Those people had treated bim a thousaud times better than be deserved, and he spat upon their generosity. He is capable of just i such actions at any time anil any place, i They deserved it to some extent, they i had no business inviting him there after his gratuitous insult to Governor Tillman.

Anybody with the least idea of human nature, and who has seen the self opinionated strut of Mr. Roosevelt and read after him can discover the real motive in his negro appointments. His object is to put some one where he will receive personal violence that he, Roosevelt, may deal out punishment accordingly. His mode of ramming his spurs into the sides of a bronco, or beating it over the head with a gun in his mad a faint idea of his character. He would make what some people think a good super intendent of a penitentiary, or of any institution where the vials of his wrath could be poured out upon victims who could not murmur.

Jeffries needed such as he to carry out the edicts of his court. Mr. Roosevelt seems determined to tear aesunder the wound which, under the wise aud humane policy of Presi- dent McKinley, was being rapidly healed. A case of the end justifying the means is found in the various Carnegie libraries. If the protective tariff had not allowed Mr.

Carnegie to rob the public as liberally as he did, these imposing edifices would be today nothing but raw material. i Senator Geo. F. Hoar has introduced an anti-Trust bill. The object of this is not to pass a bill controlling I trusts, but to spread upon the records Congress fitting tributes to the high haracter and worth of trusts gen- all v.

1 We seriously doubt if so fearless a person as the president used to be, would close a postoffice anywhere in i the north, because the people had 1 threatened the postmistress with 1 violence. Football is said to be making rapid strides in the Freeh army. The French have at last introduced something that is really 8 Fost I II! nucti as the English and Dutch i are not looking for anything in Vene zuela which will not buy a breakfast, President Castro is able to announce that his honor is safe. The friends of Mr. John S.

Wise have not been able to convince the public that theie is any appreciable difference between one of his paroxysm of love for Old Virginia, and rabbies. fc A STAB AT THE TARIFF. The tariff is having a little aiiii this week in the Senate. Mr. Lodge', of presented a resolution ask ing that the tariff on hard coal be sus pended for 90 days.

This had for its object the importation ot coal from Wales to tbe seaport towns in the New Euglaud States, where the people are in great danger of freezing. Mr. Piatt of informed the Seuate that "there is no tariff on hard coal." This seemed something new, because the President and those who collect duties hold there is. Mr. Piatt said that there was a tariff of 07 cents on all" coal which did not contain at least 92 per cent of fixed carbon.

The Pennsylva nia anthracite contains just enough, some expert chemists employed by the coal miners say, to take it out of the tariff is put it on the free list. This is a wonderfully clever move on the part of the coal operators and places them high up iv the scale if smart alecks. Here is the object this new discoveiy. They say their coal is not on the tariff list because there is over 92 per cent of fixed carbon in it, hence the free traders, as they call all persons who want tariffs reduced, have nothing to do with them, but at tne same time they become by this ruse the best protected people in the world, because they allege that no coal in the world outside their own coal goes so high as 92 per cent iv fixed carbon, hence no coal can be brought into the United States in competition with theirs without paying the duty. Theirs is the best protec tion ever known because, if true, they are protected against home legislation and foreign competition.

This standard being the dividing line, we suppose they would insist that every lump in every load of foreign coal which claimed to be above 92 per cent carbon be analysed to see if per chance there was not at least an ounce or two which could not pass muster. It awaits to be geen whether the tariff lords are able to freeze New England rather than surrender one infinitessimal part of their hold upon the necks of the country. After their treatment of Cuba we think them capable of any crime in the calender. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has rendered a decision which shuts the Wabash out of Pittsburg. It is a new feature in legal jurisprudence that a city like Pittsburg is shut out from enjoying the benefits of a great railway.

Outside of a grave yard Pittsburg is the anly inviolate spot we have ever known. But there seems to be a law up in that State which puts Pittsburg and a giaveyard on exactly the same basis, and may keep them there. It is a singular coincidence that the wishes of the Pennsylvania R. 11. and the opinions of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania tally so exactly on many occasions, and this is one of the occasions.

Mr. Elkins of W. is about to proceed against the B. O. Ry.

on ac count of discrimination against his coal. This does not impress us as indicating tbe usual wisdom displayed by that Senator, or lead us to believe that he fully realizes that self preservation is the first law of nature. We call Mr. Elkins' attention to those different things which make people look like 30 cents. The case of mouth disease which recently appeared in Virginia has been traced to the Hon.

John S. Wise. WASHINGTON LETTER (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Jan. criticisms and protestations which have greeted Senator Hoar's anti trust bill furnish ample evidence of the unwillingness of Congress to carry into effect, in a single instance, any of tbe recommendations of the President in regard to the control of the trusts. No sooner had the terms of Mr.

Hoar's bill been made pnblic than Representative Jenkins, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, made public a statement in which he declared that the trusts had nothing to fear and the people nothing to gain by the passage of the bill, which was merely the old ideas rehabilitated in new phraseology. The Hoar Bill provides for the publicity so earnestly advocated by the President and forbids, under penalty of $5,000 fine or not more than a year's imprisonment, or both, combination in restraint, of trade, the selling of goods below a fair market price for the purpose of de stroying a competitor and the owner ship by one corporation of tbe stock in other corporations. It is evident from the views expressed by senators and members of Congress that the passage of the bill depends entirely on the dictum of the trusts. If their attorneys advise them that the bill will prove innocuous they will gladly see it passed with the hope that, as was the case with the Sherman law, it will prove a sop to popular clamor. If, however, it is found that its passage will prove detrimental to the interests of the trusts neither the Senate nor the House will pass it.

In fact, the position of the House is fairly well represented by the statement of Mr. Jenkins. That Mr. Jenkins is opposed to all trust legislation has for some time been apparent and even the earnest efforts of Representative Littlefield are destined to meet defeat at Mr. Jenkins 1 hands, whom it is claimed, was selected as chairman of the Judiciary committse because of his known opposition to trust legislation.

Already the attention of the democrats is turning to the possibilities of 1904. Realizing that the republicans are afraid to enact any legislation im inical to the trusts and that the peo pie are daily growing more urgent in behalf of such legislation, they argue that tbe pople will turn to tbe democratic parly for telief in 1904, if a sufficiently strong man heads the demo cratic ticket. Three names are now being generally discussed in this connection, Judge Parker of New York, Ex Secretary Olney and Senator Gor' man. Senator Carmaok pins his faith to Judge Parker, who might have been governor of New York this time had' he accepted the nomination. On tbe other hand, there are many who would pass the Judge by because he was unwilling to make tbe race in his own state.

Representative Underwood of Alabama, recently told your pondent that be favored Mr. Olney, as a man who had demonstrated his abi lity and had served his party well. He said that Mr. Olney had always been I "regular" and he believed that be had tbe confidence of the people generally 1 and of the business men of the country in particular. With regard to Mr.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dislourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order ar diseased. Kidney trouble has secome so prevalent it is not uncommon for a child to be born ifflicted with weak kidneys.

If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon- it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
