LAW AND THE NEGRO. FEELING STIRRED BY THE ENGLISH INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Condition of th« lilarks Today—A Crime That Itouse* the I'ury of Men of Kvery Rare - Ida B. Wells and tlie Duty of Ne-
groes Themselves.
iSjaa’Ial Correspondence.] Atlanta, Sept. 20.—And so the tender hearted English are to iuvet tiffato us! Well, we can stand it. Wo have Iteen investigated in turn by Butler, Sheridan, two Shermans, Blair and so on down to little Billy Chandler, and if wo can stand all that, great Scott!! what can’t we stand? To say that most i of our folks are redhot over this truly English performance would lie drawing it mild, but a minority—and I am in and out of it—look ou it as a huge joke, an appropriate close for a season which opened with Coxey’s march on Washington. Ordinary impudence annoys, hut such colossal cheek as this has in it an clement of the sublime. And there is ono good thing to be said for these Englishmen—they aro not trying
to make votes.
I have made seven tours in the south and changed my mind ou some point after each tour, and am therefore disposed to be charitable. My first experience after the war was in Texas in 1873. Coming fresh from a rather radical northern community, I expected freedom to do everything for the blacks and do it quickly. Irritated by their dawdling incompetence, I reacted to tho other extreme. I trb'd the negro by tho northern white man’s standard and pronounced him incapable of prog-

Wv • • • wfH 1 ' IDA II. WELLS. ress. Set this down as the northern man's first mistake on coming south. They nearly all make it. My next view was in Smith Carolina in the campaign of 1870, and there I was almost persuaded that if the whites did not exterminate them they would soon bo eating each other. In Mississippi in 1877 and Louisiana in 1870 I inclined to the their prevalent theory that tho raco tended to die out. Thecensus of 1880 knocked nil that nonsense out of ns, and we took a fresh start. Three Conclusive facts. Three long tours through the black belt have sineo convinced me of at least three facts. First, the progress of tho blacks in any section depends chiefly on the progress of the whites in that section. Take this beautiful and prosperous city as an example. A little over 50 years ago it was not marked on tho map. Since 1850 it has doubled in population each decade and far more than doubled its wealth and business. It has therefore about tho liuest colored population in tho south. The English committeemen can seo their well organized colleges, their fine churches, their elegant high school and other public buildings. They will bo welcomed by many refined and intelligent colored people. They will he handsomely entertained at the homes of bishops, doctors of divinity, learned professors aiM fairly well to do business and professional men, all colored, but they will find another class of blacks which is a menace to the peace of any community. Where white progress 1ms been greatest colored progress has been greatest. Where tho whites have been slow or stationary tho blacks have also, and if there be a place in tho south whore the whites have retrograded I think you will find that tho negroes have moved back and kept “company distance." The second fact of importance is that tho colored raco is rapidly dividing into classt-s as clearly marked ns the Four Hundred and tho ragged Reubens in New York. And this is ono of the surest signs of increasing civilization. There is a small class gaining rapidly, a much larger class gaining slowly and another stationary or retrograding. It must not bo forgotten that tho imported negroes were from many different regions. One authority says 143 tribes were represented, tho intellectual range as great as from the Caucasian of Boston to tho "greaser” of Mexico. The third fact of importance is that tho two races tire getting farther apart, and that right rapidly. Tho good of each race respect each other, but have no wish for closer association, and, os for the bad, one fact tclbj it all—miscegenation has almost entirely ceased. A Cax<! In Point. Standards of right and propriety differ amazingly, but there is ono offense which rouses to fiercest fury tho men of every race from tho Caucasian to the Piute—violence to its women, especially to little girls. In tho presence of a victim the most enlightened community goes insane. In 1870 I was in southern Ohio when tho corpse of a lady (hor name was Bennett, I think) was found in the woods, murdered by a tramp. He was dragged through the streets, with the best men and women in tho place crying for vengeance. A leading citizen, an aged Christian, who had never been heard to utter an oath, was asked to address the mob for law and
order, fie began, broke down in tears and fairly screamed, "Boys, go hang tho d d 1” And they did hang him, tlie good men assisting, the good women applauding. Tho popular rage at tho south is tenfold fiercer because tho danger is tenfold greater. In a thickly settled and thoroughly policed country like England that crime is almost an inii>ossibility. The south is all frontier. Save in a very few localities the population is sparse. Women and schoolgirls must often go long distances on lonely roads. The temptation to tho naturally lawless is great. The retribution must bo swift, certain and terrible. As a race our negro is most unfortunately situated. He has been brought from the rudest condition of barbarism and put under tho requirements of tho highest civilization, while there he has not been time for the internal to change in harmony with tho external. Scientifically speaking, tlie organism has not developed to tit tho environment. Tho negro is subjected to 500 times as much temptation as in Africa and has not acquired five times tho power of moral resistance. The result is much the same as it would be with a lot of wild cattle gathered at random from tho plains and mountains and put under tho restraints of a well ordered stock farm. It has taken 1,200 years of select breeding to produce the mild eyed and gentle Jersey, yet every stockman knows that when tho sex instinct is roused the wild nature is apt to break out and tho Jersey to beoomo ns dangerous as a wild Northumbrian. A Needed Kemedy. There is, however, a remedy, and it is high time to apply it. Tho negroes themselves should organize more thoroughly and mark tho bad men of their race. Tho whites must realize that every lynching has a reactive effect on tho nature of citizens—a hardening, demoralizing effect. Most important of all, there is a chance that an innocent man may suffer, and though the chance bo but ono in a thousand that is enough to condemn tho whole system. Miss Ida B. Wells has achieved a remarkable success—of tho kind. It is evident at a glance that her view is altogether presumed and ono sided, and many of the statements sho makes cannot in the very nature of things be true. Nevertheless there is an evi I, and it should be cured, nor should the absurd exaggerations of reformers hinder it. And, as to onr English friends, let them come, and welcome. They aro sure to seo ten times an much good as evil, and the more they seo of us tho better they will like us. They will find nine-tenths of this southern country as open to tho rambler as their own settlements in new countries aro and much the same sort of people. They will lie sneered at a little and laughed at a good deal, but their own countrymen already settled here will tell them many things they did not know, and after hearing it they will think better of us.

Many are the uses to which the cactus is put, but one of the queerest is that which prevails in faraway Cape Town, | where cactus leaves are made to serve the purpose of visiting cards. The , leaves of the sjiecial kind of cactus used 1 for this purpose are not very prickly, however, and, furthermore, these uuique cards are not carried about, but tiro left growing ou the plant which stands at the foot of the front steps. When a lady , y calls, she has only to take out her hat- ** pin and scratch her name on the glossy surface of one of the leaves, while a gentleman accomplishes the same end with his knife. The lines thus scratched turn silver white and remain clear and distinct on the leaf for years. NewYear’s day these cactus cards are par- 1 ticularly convenient, and popular hos- j tosses often appropriate a large branch of their cactus plant to the registry of visits received that day.—St. Louis

CRANK INVENTORS. New Idea* For Liquor Flanks, 1*11!pits ami Steam IlitglneH. [Special Correspondence. 1 Buffalo, Sept. 20 —If you want to hear good stories, you will do well to get into the company of an accomplished patent j^-oinoter. "One of the most interesting cranks I’ve met in a long time," said ono of them to me tho other day, "was a chap with a scheme for a church which ho thought would ho a treasure to indolent preachers. The pulpit was to be in tho center, and the pews were to bo in circles extending clear around the speaker’s stand, rising at the back as the tiers of seats rise in a theater. Tho pulpit was to bo stationary, but tho pews were to rest on rollers, running on circular tracks. By the use of an electric motor the seats were to bo kept in constant, gentle motion, and in that way the preacher would face the entire congregation in service without once having to turn around. I don’t remember whether the device had yet been patented or not, but I had a great time getting rid of the fellow.” "His scheme,” said the second of my promoter friends, “reminds me of the plan that has actually been adopted in jailbuilding somewhere in the west Tho colls are in tiers in a great cylinder of boiler iron. This stands ou end inside a cylindrical structure of masonry and is kept slowly moving, while the outer stone walls, of course, remain still. Before this jail vas built there were many escapes from tho sheriff’s custody, but not afterward. The most persistent chap I have met was a fellow who wanted to save a lot of money to liquor bottlers. Ho proposed to get up a bottle that could nut bo used a second time. Inside tho ffask he was to have some sort of a movable float which the minute the last drop of liquor was poured out would fly up and act as a stopper. Until it was removed nothing more could bo poured in, and tho only way to remove it was to bioak the bottle." "I knew an inventor,” said the third man, “who, inspired, I suppose, by seeing a gas engine at work, proposed to uso gunpowder in the cylinders of engines for ocean steamers. He had a model of his contrivance, too, but it was of wood, and lie even tried to work it, of course. His machine was to automatically deposit, say, it quarter of 4in ounce of powder liehiud tlie piston at every stroke. It was to be exploded by electricity, and the resulting gases, ho held, would furnish ample force to move an engine of great horsepower. I told him I wouldn’t take tho invention up because I was afraid that some day a spark from the explosions in the cylinder would reach the main powder magazine, and then there would be force enough to smash the entire craft. The fellowgot very angry at me and would never speak to me again. But I didn’t mind ” Then the talk drifted to tho subject )f good luck in touching cripples on the street and the bad luck that inheres in the number 18, but as the statements made were not substantiated by affidavits it would be injudicious to repeat them here.

ni.OrsK WITH BASQUE. extreme breadth of-shoulder, which is not becoming to short women, but this is so easily reduced to suit the height and taste of the individual that it need not be disfiguring. Fashions are so cspoeially feminino that they are bound to become more and more pleasing as they develop. Even the popular tailor made coat and skirt gown has a touch of femininity in the dainty lace trimmed blouse which is worn with it. The fancy for making bodices of a different material from the skirt and sleeves has lost none of its popularity, and mousseline de soie and cream colored and yellow lace are the favorite fabrics. Blouses made with a basque are also popular. A very pretty one is in pale pink surah, the yoke Vicing formulated with cream lace insertion, surrounded with deep frill, trimmed with double row of insertion. Tlie basque, sleeve puff and elbow frill are made to match. Satin ribbon is tied loosely round tho waist. Black and white continue to be a favorite combination of color for striped and checked silk gowns, and white moire, particularly for trimming, is taking the place of black, which has grown so common that its absence readily distinguishes a new gown from an old one. The fancy for introducing a bright color at the neck and waist seemed at first to be only a passing freak, but it is such a becoming addition and gives such a dash to a simple gown that it has become one of tho reliable points of fashion. Tlie details of a dress have much to do with its smart appearance, and a touch of the right color in tho right place is often more effective than the most expensive trimming. Another pretty idea for decorating the much trimmed liodice is the use of box plaits, 1 *5 or 2 inches wide, of the same material as the skirt. These are made entirely separate from the bodice, which may bo of lace, silk muslin or like the rest of the dress and put on in a variety of ways. Sometimes three plaits extend from the neck to the belt, both back and front. Other waists have three in front only, and, again, one plait is used in front and hack alike. English walking hats are considered especially appropriate with tailor gowns, and the same may be said for
Well Pnlnted ItabmuiH. Catherine the Great was always ou the lookout for a chance to make improvements. One day in crossing a Chinese bridge atTsarskoe-Selo she noticed that the half dozen wooden images of baboons upon pedestals, which ornamor.ted it, were weather worn. "The baboons must be rejiaiuted, ”
i he said.
The next day a painter was set at work upon the baboons, and every year
afterward, while the empress lived, she i Qf binding ever shown
gave orders to have them repainted. At In r death it had become an established
annual custom.
Today the poor baboons, covered two inches thick with more than a hundred coats of cobalt or vermilion paint, have no resemblance to anything but ungainly blocks of wood. This is what they call an “expense” in Russia; with us it would be called an abuse.—Youth's (’nmnaniou.

STRAW TOQUE. LACE TOQUE, the sailor hats. A novelty in summer millinery is the use of tulle, white especially, but colored also, on round batand capotes alike. Birds and birds’ wings are nsi d by Paris milliners on tulle hats that are gathered on wire as fire as si thread and edged with a tiny ruche of tulle. A large rosette of white tulle each side of a hat is a foundation from which start sprays of flowers or stylish aigrets. Fancy straw toques are in demand. A charming effect is gained on one of these toques with the association of a bird and wild flowers as trimming. A smart toque cf lace, with a fine laoo crown and tiny curtain at the back, represents yet another new style. Ostrich feathers are in great demand this season, and occasionally as many as 20 aro used on one hat. Some of them arc wired to stand erect, and others are disposed of in various recumbent positions, falling over tho brim and curling around the crown. One of the latest ribbons is reversible, with a diflVrent color each side, and another has an openwork stripe, brocaded with tiny sprigs of flowers down the center. One Way to Dry Handkerchief*. Have you ever tried drying your finest handkerchiefs on tho surface of a mirror or sunny window pane? If not, I think you would much prefer it to the ordinary way of drying and ironing, which is so likely to injure them. Two things inust be remembered—to have the handkerchiefs quite damp and to have the surface of the mirror or pane free from dust. Handkerchiefs thus dried are as smooth and free from wrinkles as if they had been treated to a ho* iron.
