Justice to Us
Mr. Frank H. Heywood writes
in his paper"Southern Progress,
of Philadelphia"as follows: |
oThere used to be and I pre-
sume there sti'l are a good many
~people who fear to go South ow-
ing to the belief that it is a hot
bed of lawlessness and rebellion.
But on this subject there is a
yast deal of misconception. Hue
manity is humanity the world
ever, and nothing can be mcre
upjust than the assumption of
the superior morality by the in-
habitants of any part of it. No
people in the world are more
bomogeneous than the people of
the United States. When differ-
ences exist they are parily exte-
rior. The selfgoverning princi-
ple, the vestal fire of our Anglo
Saxon race, is strong enough and
warm enough to maintain our
system of farthest ends of the
republic. Like a touch of nature
making the whole Union kin, it
joins the States, and should be
left in each to do its own woik in
itsown way. The methods which
suit one State may not suit
another, but in all we may -ufely
trust the result to the good sense
and the good feeling, shaved by
the interest and guidea by the
intelligence of the greater num-
ber, sure that in the South, no
Jess than in the North, the con-
servatiye forces of society left to
themselves will prevail.�
There is more of tLis editorial,
the substantial part of which is a
tribute to the women of the
South. It is, throughout, a
highly agreeable production, the
keynote of which 18 that found in
the last sentence of the extract
quoted above. It is that the
South is not, any more then the
North, a lawless community ; and
that, after all, the conservative,
forces of society will prevail.
This is another way of saying
that, after all discouragements,
the American people are stil]
capable of self-zovernment"a
faci which it will neyer do for
any 2f us to question, even in
our own minds."Charlotte Op-
server.

Peopls do not always fully
realize and appreciate a thing in
its true significance until it comes
close home to them. They have
read in the newspapers about
white men being arrested ty
negro constables ana tried before
negro magistrates, and althou
this las been done in North es
alina"aye, and in a neighboring
county"still it did not have the
same effect perhaps as if the oo
curence had been more in the

Leaf.
The State Guard.
�"�=The Messenger has year after
year tavored a liberal and appre-
ciative spirit in behalf of the
State toward the excellent State
Guard. It deseryes public recog-
nition and support as an arm of
safety, a strong defense agaiost
lawlessness and mobs. If the
people are wise they willdo more
in sententation of this important
auxiliary in bebalf of public safe
ty and order. The Messenger
has often urged that it should be
raised to 2,000, I's present
strength is about 1,500, perhaps
or alittle more.
There ought to be in every one
of the lurger towns a Gatling or
Maxim gun, kept under strict
guard night and day in a secure
place. A gun of this kind is
worth a regiment or a brigade in
a fight with a mob. A Maxim
gun could destroy in a half hour
10,000 men if they would not flee,
for it fires 1,300 large balls every
minute. Weil directed, no body
of men could stand and survive
before such and engine of de-
struction. |
It ought to be the pride of the
people to help maintain this fine
body of citizen soldiery. It
~would be comparatiyely @ small
cost- And yet intimeslike these
"so cheotic and encertain"what
a sense of safety comes out from
the knowledge that there is a
body of drilled soldiers ready to
do service and maintain order in
North Carolina.
New York city expends more
perhaps on one of its companies
annually than North Qarolina
expends on the entire State
Guard. One of the armories in
that city costs more than North
Carolina will have to expend in a
century upon its own body of
soldiery."Wilmington Messen-
ger.

The Work of the Railroads
There are some very interesting
facts shown in the annual report
of the Interstate Commerce Com:
mission.
We have in this country 182,-
776 miles of railroad, 35,950 loco-
motives and 1,297,649 cars in use.
There were 511,772,737 passen-
gers carried during the year, of
whom only 181 were killed, or
only one in 2,827,474,
Could figures better illustrate
the extreme safety of railway
travel and the success of inven-
tion in oyercoming danger ?
There are 886,260 employees in
the service, and their wages
amount to 60 per cent. of the
total operating expense. This
means more than half aT million
homes made prosperous by this
/ one industry.

made by a negro. The warrant 1

be expressed in figures or words.

Itis Said of the Kitchen,
That in most houses the kitchen
is the last room by no means the
Jeast, in influence and importance.
That the young housewife who
asserted that othe kitchen in her
new home should be as cheerful
and attractive as any apaitment
in itT was @ yery jadicivud wo-
man; and she gave excellent
reasons ior her regolution.'
That a careful mistress should
spend a portion of each day
there.
That light, ventilation and con-
venience are requisites.
That payered' wails become
soiled and hold the odors from
rcoking until they are very ob-
jectionable ; while once painted,
they can be kept sweet and fresh
foralong time with occasional
washings, or by wiping off with
a damp cloth.
That buff or light yellow for
walls and ceiling and oak-grain-
ing for woodwork, give a bright
cheerful appearance.
That shades, and half sash
white muslin curtains, that can
be put up clean at least every
other week make the best window
furnishings.
That the shades should be
hung three inches from the top of
the casing, so that the window
can be lowered and fresh air 2 :
come in, while the smoke and heat) : T:
go out. |
That a clock is desirable, as the
duties of aservant are such that
they must be regulated by time.
That screens are &® summer
necessity, both for the windows
andthe doors for excluding the
flies, and weather strips tor winter
comfort, keeping the windows
osnug� except when opened for
ventilation."Philadelphia Rec-

- SUBSTANCE OR SHADOW,
The Telltale Mirror as Testimony In an
Important Case at Law.
oWhat is and what is not testi-
mony,TT remarked the attonagy who
goes 20 miles out on the rajlroad ey-
ery evening to sleep, ~~is net efways
determined by Chitty, as I.caa testi-
fy after an experience I had not
long ago. I was spending a week
with a friend who keeps a moun-
tain resort in Virginia, and during
my visit the room of one of the
guests was robbed of jewelry
amounting to $40 or $50. Several
servants were suspected, but the
theft could not be fixed upon any
one of them until I happened upon
the latndryman who came to get the
linen of the guests on that floor,mine
among the number. This man was
thoreughly reliable and of some
means, which he had saved during
many yearsof work about the hotel.
~o~T was interested in the case, and
when I mentioned it to my laundry-
man he" looked surprised and asked
if he could not have a private talk
with me on thesubject. He gave me
such information that I felt safe in
having a colored chambermaid ar-
rested for the theft, the prosecuting
attorney, of course, takfng the lead
in the action. The girl denied steal-
ing the jewelry, but we stood ready
to prove what we had charged and
the case came promptly to trial be-
fore a magistrate.
~Our side did not have much show
until I called the laundryman. He
was duly sworn and testified that on
the day of the stealing he had stop-
ped in front of the door of the room
in which the theft was committed,
thinking it was a room where he
was to call for clothes. In getting
close enough to see the number on
the door, his attention in some way
was attracted to the large transom
over the door, which was set open
at an angle reflecting the interior of
the room. The transom was of one
large pane of glass, with a piece of
dark silk over the inside, making it
to all intents and purposes a mirror.
~In this mirror he had distinctly
seen the reflection of the figure of
the prisoner, Mary French, whom
he had known, since her childhood.
She was standing at a bureau or
dresser looking at and handling
some jewelry which had been left
there. After a few moments he saw
her take in her hand a breastpin of
gold and move away about her work
in the room; at least he could hear
her moving about sweeping, though | 9
he could no longer see her, as she
had got where the glass did not re-| ¥
flect her. The laundrymanTs son, a
lad of 16, testified to very nearly the
game facts, as he had been standing
by the side of his father.
oThe pin thus described as having
been taken was the pin which was
lost, and the evidence seemed sure
to conyict, but the magistrate was
very cautious. The laundryman tes-
tified further that he had not men-
tioned it because he had not heard
of the robbery until I spoke of it
and he had not cared to make anv
trouble at first because he supposed
the girl might have been only going
to put the pin in a safe place.
oThis kind of testimony was, in
my opinion, good enough to convict
in any court, but his honor, the
squire, looked wise and refused to
admit it on the ground that the wit-
ness had not seen the prisoner take
the pin nor had he seen the prison-
er at all. It was her reflection, and
as he had not seen her and had so
testified then, of course, not having
seen her, his testimony as to what
she had done during the time of her
reflection was not competent, and he
would throw it out, which he did,
and the stato lost the case of course.
Since that, time I have been mak-
ing a study of evidence and calculat-
ing the value of the relation of a
shadow to its substanoe in a court of
law presided over by a Virginia jus-
~| tice of the peace.TT"Washington
