had a reign of forty years over the
people of the Negro race, the reason

plan came to have him on the same
platform with leading negro preach

In getting into his subject, but with-

"" follows:
"The only solution of the negro
problem by which a race war within
tills rcntnry can be avoided Is by a
peaceful and friendly colonization of
the African. This has never been
tried seriously. President Lincoln
would have accomplished this great
task had he lived out his years. The

time of his death, preparing a scheme
for removing him from this country.

I part of the prediction been filled; It

years have nearly passed away and
the nation Is face to face with the
question "Can two races equally free,
live in the same government?" It Is

fronts the Republic in these opening
years of the new century, and it will

lho conditions which shall retrieve
whatever errors may have been com-
nutted and produce policies under the
operations of which social order shall
be concerned and our common civiliza
tion maintained. The burdens of re
sponsibility Is largely upon the South,
but the South sliould not be left to
struggle under it unaided by the other
sections of the Union, In which the
end Is less and consequently more
easily dealt with.

Value of Freedom and Education.
A free population, ambitious to get
the benefit of Its own labor and enter
prise. Is the niaklon of any country.
With freedom will come more general
education and a great upraise In Mex
ican life wi.i result. Hy way of con
trast Mexico and Sweden and Norway
offer an interesting study. Mexico,
with peonage and restricted education,
has a wonderful and rich variety of
natural resources. Sweden and Nor
way, with a odd and rather sterile
country, have individual freedom, and
are the only countries In the world In
which every grown man can read and
write. Therefore the Scandinavians
have prosperity, good homes and a
general and splendid civilization, while
Mexico, with friemby climate and
greut natural resources, lags behind.
Hut the signs of advancement are
many ami encouraging, and there Is
every reason for taking a cheerful
view of the future of our sister re
public. San Francisco Call.
Spread of Style In Arizona.
Every symptom points to u ten
dency to spread on style In Tomb
stone. Among other instances In this
direction the boys bought a pair of
beautiful barber pole suspenders and
presented them to the amiable dis
penser who shoves the amber extract
of cheerfulness over me mahogany of
the Parlor saloon. He pronjptly
donned the innovation, but claimed
that he felt like he had a fence rail
on each shoulder. Then when they be
came overburdensome he would un
button them and permit them to dan
gle In front, but he t.nally got them
down line enough to ro to church In.

Gatea a Good Spender.
Report has it that John W. Gates
Is making all the other plungers at
Saratoga look small. Gates thinks
and acts In thousands where the
average man does the same things In
dollar bills. He hardly recognizes
small change when he sees It. His
bets at the races are all up lu three
figures, he pays a dollar for a shave
anil tosses another dollar to the boy
who shines his shoes. He buys a
good dintieT for a large party at a
time and gives the biggest tips ever
heard of. The chances are that even
with his hlx expenses he will break
even or better on the present meet.
At present h is away ahead of the
game.
New York a "Richeat" Rich.
New York has the richest baby, the
richest boy, the richest bachelor, the
richest spinster, the richest married
man nd the richest widow In the
whole wide world. Parts of this bii?
claim might be overthrown on close
scrutiny but we continually hear of
little John Nicholas Hrown, the rich
est baby in the world: James Henry
Smith, the richest bachelor; William
Ziegh-T. Jr., the richest boy; Miss
Stickncy, the richest spinster; Rocke
feller, the richest of all, etc.
Model Dairy Farm.
Two brothers. Albert and Harry
Fahenstock, have a model dairy farm
at Quaker Bottom valley. In Baltimore
county, and the other day they had
the members of the Baltimore stock
exchange out to look at it. The visit
ors were driven over the C50 acres In
wagons drawn by teams of eight nice
ly matched gray Percheron horses.
and they found the dairymen and the
stablemen all neatly uniformed. It
Is also reported that they found a
scene of "unusual pastoral beauty."
There are hills, valleys and tumbling
splashing waters on the utg farm, anj
the keynote of the management is or
ganization and system. The result Is
success.
Recently at a private musicale, Rob
ert Cuscaden played a Bethoven se
lection which called forth this com
ment from one of his gushing feminine
admirers: "Perfectly heavenly!" I
haven't heard that for a long time.
The last time; was when lt was ren
dered for me by a phonograph. Did
you ever hear It on a phonograph, Mr.
Cuscaden?" "No," said the violinist.

WHEN TO CRITICISE.
When your heart Is warm with love,
Even for your enemies;
When your words come from above,
Not from where the venom la;
When you aee the man entire,
Not alone the faults he has; .
Find a somewhat to admire
Underneath the paltry mass
Not till then, If you are wise,
Will you dare to criticise.

Nice Old-Faahloned Folk.
Senator Pettus of Albania, wears
shirts made by his wife and socks
which she has knitted. The old couple
live In Selma when not In Washington,
and new manners and customs have
changed them little. Since their mar
riage, sixty-two years ago, she has
made all his linen sarments. Until
about twenty years ago she adhered
to the ways of her foremothers and
spurn the flax herself. ' Now she finds
her eyes are fallng and she buys the
linen from a merchant In Mobile, but
the remainder of the work Is her labor
of love. As she talks to her guests,
whether at home or In Washington,
her fingers are busy with knitting.
Mrs. Pettus has a remarkable memory
and tells entertaining anecodotes In a
quaint, old- fashioned w-". On every
anniversary of their marriage the
couple give a reception for the senate,
and great Is the shwer of rifts.
The above Is a casual thought giv
en expression by one of our esteemed
contemporaries. It shows the trend
which Is fast developing among the
Negro of the serveral sections.

Blow Too Much For Pat.
While Pat Kern, a sturdy young
Irishman of Philadelphia, was stand
ing on a ladder cleaning windows a,
lawyer approached and called out to
him that an uncle living in Ireland bad
died, leaving him $100,000. Pat
promptly fell from the ladder at the
shock. He was not hurt, however, and
soon went back to his task.
"When are you going to quit work?"
was asked.
"When I get the money," came the
retort.
