Can Butler be so Low?

hear of the cruel fate which
~overtook this innocent young
girl while on her way to her
daily avocation without every
instinct.crying for yengeance on

life? Do the white people of
Rockingham rejoice that this
young git) was outraged by this
: black beast? We cannot believe
they do, but must believe it it we
are to believe the words spoken
by Marion Butler, United States
_. Senator from North Carolina, in
: his speech the other day in this
town. In that speech he said, as
near as we can quote, oIf colored
men commit outrages the Demo-
crats pretend to be terribly shock- |:
ed in pubhe, but when they get
behind a wall they laugh until
they grow fat, and if the out-
rages are not frequent enough
they hire worthless negroes to
commit them.�
We wonder if the white people
of Rockingham hired this negro
to commit this unspeakable crime
on this poor girl, and if they did
not, what must they think of the
- man that represents the glorious
old North State in the Senate
chamber?"Rocky Mount Augo-

Origin of the Cake Walk
The cake walk proper had its
origin among the French negroes
of Louisiana more than a century
ago. There is little doubs that it
1s an cffshoot of some of the old
French country dances. It re-
sembles several of them in form.
From New Orleans it spread oyer
the entire South and thence
North. 1t was found of conye-
nience to the plantation negroes.
They were not wedded by license,
and it was seldom that the ser-.
vices of a preacner were called
in. Atacake walk a man might
legitimately show his preference
for @ woman, and thus publicly
¢glaim her for a wife. In effect
the cake walk war not different
from the old Scotch marniage,
which required only public ac-
knowledgment trom the contract-
ing parties. So this festival be-
came in some sense a wooing, an
acceptance or rejection and a
ceremcny. This explains its
popularity with the blacks, out-

NEW YORK, Oct. 14."One would im-
agine that it was hardly necessary
now-a-days to warn the public against
professional marriage-mongers. When-
ever the veil that covers the operations
of these gentlemen has been lifted it
has been made clear to the dullest com,
prehension that bunkum is the basis
of the business and that really serious
swindles are its common accessories.
But exposures and warnings have not
stopped the supply of dupes, and these
mischief-making agencies are still
pocketing the savings of servant girls
and the spare cash of hard-working
young men who ought to know better.
, The recent prosecutions for omissing
word� frauds and other bogus compe-
titions show that 20,000, or, perhaps, 50,-
000, fools are always standing ready to
part with their money. They appear
to rely upon such theories as that a
man who is not publicly branded as an
imposter must be honest, that a man
who advertises extensively must be
wealthy, that whatever appears: in
print must be true, that an enthusias-
tic testimonial must be genuine and
unsolicited.
None of these stupid notions will hold
water for a moment. It is no easy task
to reveal a rogueTs character and ca-
reer to the general public. The law of
libel is so severe that a newspaper is
generally unable to publish a sentence
until it has in its possession a long
chain of well-corroborated evidence. In
the vast majority of cases the victims
o a skillful trickster take no steps to
protect others, thinking that they will
thus avoid adding to the unpleasant-
ness of publicity. They say to them-
selves, ~o~We have been fooled, but why
should we let the world know what
fools we are?�
Victims DonTt Complain,
When the victimization is the out-
come of their matrimonial schemes,
they are more horrified than ever at the
idea of attracting public comment to
their ambitious aspirations. The dry
goods clerk who wanted to find a lady
with $25,000 a year and the dressmaker
who thought that the photograph of
her pretty face had beguiled the fancy
of a Wall street broker are naturally
not inclined to amuse their friends with
a recital of their disappointing experi-
ences. The ageWts of the marriage
market know all this beforehand, and
thus it happens that a course of de-
ceit and blatant humbug may be car-
ried on for months and years without
the interference of press or police.
To place confidence in the simple dis-
play of wealth is equally senseless.
Matrimonial agencies, like bogus loan
offices, have often proved gold mines to
their unscrupulous promoters. The fees
of the foolish soon suffice for splendid
offices, the costly upholstery of which
causes the caller to believe that he is
dealing with people in the front rank
of the business world. A staff of frock-
coated clerks are there to show the ten-
flerest sympathy for the husband-seek-
ing shop girl or governess. ' Lifelong
happiness is on sale for a small fee.
Who can wonder if they are dazzled by
the inviting prospect and part with
their hard-won earnings in response to
the honey-toned suggestions of the cun-
ning rascals?
Cheap Game to Run,
At this game a big show can be made
with little expenditure. Mest of the
advertisements are evolved in the mar-
riage agentTs office, from the marriage
agentTs fertile brain. When a genuine
advertisement does come in, it is proba-
bly from some forlorn maiden who has
been waiting for years for a mate. The
result"if there is any result"of her
subscriptions to the agency will be an
introduction to some worthless adven-
turer, who will borrow whatever money
she may be possessed of and then fly
away after a fresh quarry.
At these offices a part of the stock-in-
trade is a collection of highly orna-
mental photographs"handsome fellows
with curly black hair and drooping
mustaches, doll-faced beauties with
those charms of face and form which
the photographer has touched up with
such consummate skill. If the custo-
mer thinks that a choice is offered
from these specimens it will prove a
delusion, for the best of them are not
on the books of the firm at all. The
others are probably dissolute persons,
with whom marriage would be a dire-
ful catastrophe. F ;
Diamond Cut Diamond,
Perhaps the most amusing element
in such negotiations is the frequent in-
troduction of one adventurer to an-
other. Each is overjoyed at the oppor-
tunity of acquiring the fortune attrib-
uted to the other. If they wed they
eannot be long in discovering how ab-
surdly they have worked at cross pur-
poses. Mutual hatred follows, and mis-
erable reproaches"and appropriate
opunishment for their mercenary enter-
ought not to be difficult to get some
priser. he , eagle
~~ i
a
_ How are these agencies ultimately to
be disestablished? It can only be done
by multiplying the genuine opportuni-
ttes for the young of both sexes to meet
one emother at sociable functions. It
public-spirited peopie to organize and
superintend something similar to the
{nstitution which the Salvationists
have planned. A committee of sensi-
ble women could be trusted to produce
a workable scheme.
If the existing agencies were success-
ful in the slightest degree in bringing
about happy marriages, we should be-
fore now have heard of some of them.
But the only marriage that ever came
into prominence as an outcome of the
advertising system was one that had
its termination in a disgraceful divorce
case.
