But there was a most singular occurrence | of this kind some time ago. A wage earner | living on the west side had been saving his money and making deposits in the Hi- bernian Banke with great regularity for years. At length, when he had the snug sum of $1,000 to his credit, he fell sick and was for a while insane as the result of that sickness. His mind became ¢ complete blank so far as his bank accoun: was con- cerned, and no inquiries were raede in re- gard to the deposit for a year or so. “The man forgot that he had any money in the bank,” said the vice president, re- ferring to the case the other dey, “and it began to look as though the account would go to swell the unclaimed fund. Not only did he fail to come near the bunk, but he moved from his former place of residence and gave no one any notice of his removal or his new address.

The United States last year commanded mere of the Samoan trade, import and ex- port, than any European nation, and in the matter of exports to the islands stood second only to the nearby Australian col- onles. These facts appear in an official re- port to the State Department from United States Consul General Osborn. He shows that of the total imports, which amounted to $329,630, the Australian colonies sent $157,605. The United States sent goods to the value of $53,415, Great Britain came next with $13,322, while Germany sent only $5,562 worth of goods to the islands. The United States took more than a third of the entire exports from the islands, the exact figures being $54,305, out of a total export of $239,198. Moreover, the consul general says, a large percentage of the goods sent to Samoa from Australia were of American origin. + If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

The Advice of a nA to His Race to Wait Until Further Develop- ment Before Voting. — To the Editor of The Eyening Star. The candid anf Cténservative editorial comment of The Star upon the recent race ccnflict at Wilmington, N. C., must elicit the commendation of thoughtful people of all shades of color or political conviction. The alarming outbreak of passion de- veloped by the late campaign, in a state which had, hitherto, been considered fota- ble for the kindly feeling supposed to exist between the races, is a striking illustration of the gravity of the negro problem. De- spite the wonderful transformations of the past thirty-five years, this question is no nearer satisfactory settlement than when Lincoln issued the émancipation proclama- tion. The remedies*proposed so far have all failed to work out the fulfillment which thelr propounders prophesied. Emancipa- tion, enfranchisement and education have, severally or conjointly, been confidently pre- dicted as adequate measures of relief; and yet with each of these experiments, the probiem, instead of ylelding to the treat- ment, seems to take on added difiiculties. We ‘have apparently reached the limit of human wisdom. This conviction was clear- ly expressed by Mr. Henry Watterson sev- eral years ago, whon he declared that he had stopped speculating and had gone to ng. The North Carolina episode illus- s more clearly, perhaps, than any oc- currence since the overthrow of the recon- struction regime, the spirit and determina- tion of the dominant race, and the utter helplessness of the weaker element in the contest. The situation does not call for bitter abuse or vile epithets, although, on first impulse, it is almost impossible to sup- press them. It is only a calm, dispassion- judicial consideration of all the facts nd factors involved that can be of any Much of the evil of the situation in- evitably grows out of the juxtaposition of two races widely different from each other in physical pecularities and cultivated fac- ulties. After exercising all possible pru- dence and caution, there will still remain a large residuum of @ifficulty. But unless both races put a check upon the wild license of passion, the catastrophe will be too ap- palling for the imagination to depict. A Reaction. the negro would doubtless be Although made the immediate victim, the permanent evil effect would fall ultimately upon the whit2 race.

This is undoubtedly the one great contribution which this race has to offer to the general culture of the human spirit. jrfivplities of meskness, humility and a veness of injury lie at the basis of the (hridtian religion, albeit they are despised tndurejected by a Chri tian Civilization. ‘be scriptural prophes that “they that conquey by the sword shah perish by the sword,” and “the meek shall Mherit the earth” ‘ar# working out their fulfillment under ot#' diily observations. Goldsmith's Saggestive Verse. The negro possepges,the power of quick recovery, and can aapidly emerge from any commotion and go: oplodding the weary tenor of his way. But with’ the white man this is not so. ‘The*&vil reputation which attaches to the place and people, as well as the reflex action upon the character, will if not impossible, to eradicate. be difficult, A striking analogy is drawn’ by Goldsmith his “Elegy on a Mad Dog: “This dog and man at first were friends; But, when a pique began, » dog, to gain some pi nt mad and bit the man. he wound it seemed both sore and sad To evei lan eye; And w y swore the dog was mad < > the man would die. But soon a wonc -r came to light That showed the rogues they lied: The man recovered from the bite, The dog it was that died.” Do the whites of the south not know that in the final, adjustment of the cause and the Setims of violence and uffer than the perpetra- Tor physics applies with fic exactness to society: Ac- Hon at tion are equal and in opposite direction The late Mr. reatietace was fond of prophesying that, In course of time, the ¢o- called negro problem would be looke? upon te ends, consequence outrage tors of t wil the ‘entially the white man’s problem. ly oceurrenc?s are making the truth of this prophecy more and more apparent. The white race represents the dominant element in all parts of this country, and are responsible to the enlightened con- sclence of the civilized world for the sup- pression and punishment of crime, the maintainance of law and order and the continuance of a peaceful regime. That the southern whites are not satisfactorily fulfilling this function is shown by the fact that one can scarcely pick up his daily Paper but that he Js shocked by accounts of lawless mobs wreaking summary yen- #eance upon helpless and defenseless cit- jacns, many of whom are subsequently proved to be innocent of crime. The se- veriy of the shock fs relieved only by the frequency of the occurrence: An Englishman's View. The local and national conscience has be- come scared. Mr. W. Laird Clowes, an hman, was sent to this country sev- :rS ago by a London newspaper to and report upon the race problem in the south. It shold be said, in fairness, that Mr. Clowes’ mission was not a part of the anti-lynching crusade, and, there- fore, he did not bring to the inquiry a mind preposessed with the existence of a special evil. In his book, “Black America,” We nowhere find any evidence that he is unduly inclined toward the colored race. Here is the result of his observation: “And here Jet me say at once, deliberately and without hesitation, that if the social crimes and outrages which are daily oc- curring in the southern states were taking place in any semi-clyilized part of Europe, and were only hatfas well advertised as the events in Bt were, the public sentiment of Eur ‘ould at once insist upon, and would wjrhih six months secure, reform. even at thé cost of war.” We have scen fhe fiation’s hands held up in pious horror aifthe crimes and out- rages perpetrated jf Bilgaria, Armonia and Cvba, but with seareely a word concerning Ss own somes rbances, which are as barbarous in chy com and ‘as frequent in occurrence as, which the gov- ernment has sole Z,ecrsed to blot out by a holy war. nations, like indi- duals, find easq “compounding for, by damning those. t of conscience by jqthey ar inclined to y, have no mind to.” This is the whiteympa’s side of the ques- tion. That he iso tg.inevitable ruler of the south no one apy longer questions. But is he not answ#fibls to the enlightened opinion of mankind tevrule in justice and equity? If he dogg pet protect life and property and maintain law and social or- der, what becomes gf his boasted right to rule?’ The doctrine of “the divine right of race” is no mor» sacred or acceptable to the common sense ‘of mankind than its twin relative, the ‘divine right of kings,” but both must be submitted to the human test of practical fitness and efficiency. Al- though the white race has the power, it must provs its right.to rule by ruling right. Equality Impossible. On the other hand, the negro finds him- self clothed with certain abstract rights whose concrete fulfillment is an impossi- bility. Concrete political equality, or equal- ity in any practical sense, between the two races is as impossible us it would be be- tween those members of the human family under sixteen and those over sixteen years of age. According to Prof. McGee, in a recent contribution to the Forum, human Progress may be divided into several stages —savegery, barbarism, semi-civilization, elvilization and enlightenment.
