The negroes all over this land are
getting in earnest about their rights
and privileges.
We must take care ourselves by cre
ating and patronising the enterprises
of our own race.
Our war heroes should feel thankful
that the newspapers have at last per
mitted them to have a little rest.
Don’t think that $1 is too much
to pay for a weekly race journal.
This is only one half the usual pncf
charged by our leading weeklies.
Now that the president has spoke
out against mob violence let the Amer
ican pulpit sneak out against it as ll
did against polygamy. Burely mob vio
lence equally degrades us as much ai
polygamy
It has been given out recently bj
the Associated Prese that Tom John
son. a negro returned to his home in
Hannibal, Mo., with $500,000 whicl
be made during his four years stay ir
the Klondike.
Something should be dene to break
up the sooalled “negro quarter’’ lu oui
towns. The disgusting spectacle oi
illolad people forever sitting on th*
front door after door, just as though
their existence depended upon theii
Stupidity is aa abomination calculated
to make the angels weep.
The colored people of the south
should ever keep in remembrance th«
fact that the beat and most thoughtful
white people of the sinth sympathize
with them in their straggle and desire
to help them in their npbailding in
every possible way.
The Capital Savings Bank of Wash
ington, is one of the strongest and
most reliable finanicai institutions
in the country. It has a capital of
|50,000. It went through the panic
of 1808 without a tremor. It is under
the shrewd and far seeing management
of Hon. John R. Lynch, who is its
president.
It is said that the Chattanooga
Plow company employs 700 or 800
bands and that a large percentage of
th*se are colored men and bovs.
Eighty men are employed in the foun
dry and in this case they are all ne
groes. This fact goes to show that
there are openings in the south for
colored men equipped with an indus
trial education.
We indulge the hope that the re
bnke given mob law by President Mc-
Kinley in his annual message to con
gress will carry all the weight that
such a rebuke should carry from the
highest officer of so great a people as
the American people. The right man
at last has hold of the stack and our
sincere, hope is that congress will give
the president a most hearty support;
nothing could have endeared the presi
dent to the colored people of this coun
try mere than bis public utterance in
the behalf of -a down-trodden people
snch as the colored people of these
United States.
There has been no truer statement
made in regard to the nsgro press than
the ore recently made by “The Col
ored American,” whiob says: “The
negro newspaper is the black man’s
only forum where an imparital hearing
is guai an teed. It is not a luxury, but
one of the most pressing neces'ities of
tb.s tge. The negro who refuses to
anstsitj an honest race journal is blind
to bis best interest. ”
It is salfi by learned Englishmen
that the Virginian especially speaks
,he most correct English in this coun-
—
Precautions taken against typhoid
’ever are followed by an immediate
decline of the disease. But sanitary
measures in the household should be
permanent, not merely adjusted to ep
idemics.
The children of the new century
will probably agree with the scientific
men that sugar is a fine food to sup
ply energy. If it is good to feed to
soldiers to remove fatigue, then the
logic of the child will have it that it
: s a great thing to give to little folks.
During 1898 the sum of $13,08G,150
was given to American colleges by
bequest or donation. Daring the last,
ten months of 1899 gifts of like nature
reached the impressive total of 883,-
584,174. Thirty-seven persons have
eaoh given $lOO,OOO and upward and
eight persons have given more than
$1,000,000 each.
Armed with a Mauser magazine rifle
and with the’game lined up carefully
before him the German Emperor in
Windsor Great Park made a bag of
178 pheasants, one partridge and 328
rabbits in one afternoon. This was
in England, where vivisection for pur
poses of science is not permitted,
where hospitals are endowed for dogs
and crusades are made against the
wearing of feathers in women’s bon
nets. But a slaughter that would
sicken a batcher is called a fine day’s
“sport” when perpetrated by an Em
peror. *
The opening of the new Victoria
Bridge at Montreal calls attention to
the amazing progress in this im
portant scienoe and art. The old
bridge, opened by the Prince , of
Wales in 1860, was justly regarded as
one of the wonders of the world. It
weighed 9000 tons,' was sixteen feet
wide and eighteen feet high, and cost
>8,813,000. The new bridge weighs
2200 tons, is sixty-five feet wide and
forty feet high, and cost $2,000,000.
The new bridge is many times more,
capaoious and more durable, yetj
weighs less than one-fonrth as muohj
and cost less than one-fourth the!
money.
There is no mistaking the faot that:
the tide has turned, and the drift!
which so long set cityward has now
turned toward the country. You see)
it and hear it ou all sides. People)
are at last getting tired of city life,
observes the Ohristian Register. De
serted farms are bought up and are
becoming the essential homes of
city merchants. And why not, so long
as he oan sit in his rural house one
hnndred miles from his office, and byj
telephone carry on business as readily
as if in the rush and roar of Wallj
street or on the avenues? He layq
down the phone and the song of
and brooks are in his earß. His chil
dren arS about him all day, aud, while
becoming a thorough business man,
he need not cease to be a father.
Quiet and peaoe are once more looked
upon as possibly associated with great
business activity.
Arnold White, a well-informed Eng
lish publicist, says that Great Britain
is not fighting for gold mines, but for
her imperial life; that if Buller is
beaten by the Boers, India, Australia
and Canada would lose faith in the
British Empire; that Australia would
become a republic or a series of re
publics; that Canada would become
a part of the United Stats; that in In
dia the great feudatory princes would
revolt against British rale; that with
the loss of these oolonies Russia,
France and Germany would seize the
opportunity to fall upon Great Bri
tain and wrest from her other colonieq
which they covet. In short,
Arnold White, “The British empiro
mast either beat the Boers or bnrßt.”
These pregnant lines are instructive
as well as interesting. Great Britain
is a great colonial empire; a war with
a handful of farmers shakes her em-j
pire to its foundations. The United
States is a great republic; a war with
jsome millions of Orientals excites bat
n languid interest.
There has been much comment on
the deoline in favor of the bicycle,
and most of it takes the form of the
judgment that it has come to be re
garded as a useful means of locomo
tion, as tho best means of getting
from place to place. Little is said
about the healthful tone to be derived
from it, and less about the amuse
ment. For persons of moderate means
the bicycle will always remain an in
dispensable aid to both, as it will al
ways be a substitute for the horse,
the carriage, and even the railroad oi
electric car. If cycling is no longer a
craze, there will nevertheless be a re
vival of interest in it every spring, as
there is in other open-air sports. The
person wnose work is sedentary or
confining will least of all lose affection
for the bicycle, and the number of
snch persons is large. Of all exer
cises which the av?rage man or wom
an can resort to there is none that
gives such handsome returns for the
time and energy put into it as cycling.
As a lung-expander, blood-circulator
cud nerve tonic there is no other ex
ercise to be compared with it.
TWO ADMINISTRATIONS
CONDITIONS CONTRASTED UNOEH
DIFFERENT POLICIES.
fhe Dismal Beene— Poverty anil Tfan
Give* Place to the Plctareeque Bepre
■flotation of the Spleoillil Prosperity
Ytstble on Evert Side.
The American Economist presents
two illustrations whieb preach a sef*
mon and tell a story of peculiar in
terest and significance. The first, fl
photographic reproduction of a scene
of actual occurrence, brings into view
a condition which existed In January,
1894, less than a year after the in
auguration of Grover Cleveland as
President of the United States. The
administration of President Cleveland
was distinctly committed to the policy
of free trade, and from the moment
the result of the Presidential election
of November, 1892, became known,
the country began to fed the stress
and stringency of the changed in
dustrial aud economic outlook. A
year and a quarter later, the period at
which the scene portrayod in the first
picture occurred, the wage earners of
the United States were brought face
to face with the disastrous conse
quences involved in the triumph of
free trade. Out of work, out of
money, their wives and children,
suffering for lack of food and cloth
ing, eagerly thronged the places
where relief was dispensed. One
among these numerous places was the
New York Herald building, corner
of Broadway and Ann street, where
free clothing was handed out to the
needy. It was a charity which hon
ored the generous proprietor of the
Herald, and which went far toward
mitigating the sufferings of the poor
in that never-to-be-forgotten free trade
winter of 1893-1894. • The charity
was the worthier ou the part of the
Herald, because of the element of
reparation entering into it.
Come we now to the second picture,
which appears in the New York Her
ald of December 5, 1899. Three
years and a month have elapsed since
the verdict of the people at the Presi
dential election of November, 183 G,
was mado known ia favor of a pro
tective tariff. Instead of the dismal
scones of poverty seeking the dole of
free soup and free clothing, we have a
picture of Uncle Sam, his features
expressing supreme gratification,
standing by the side of a chimney in
whose dense mass of escaping smoke
are seen the outlines of the word
“Prosperity,” while a huge placard
announces the fact that daring the
past week the wages of 56,700 opera
tives in Fall River, Lowell and New
Bedford have been advanced ten per
cent.
"X The New York Herald was for
many years a strenuous advocate of
free trade for the United States. It
is not so strenuous now. Otherwise
it would hardly have furnished the
second picture of a pair which tell so
vividly aud so convincingly the story
of contrasting conditions under two
administrations.
No Tariff Tinkering.
Representative Payne, of New York,
chairman of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, is certain that the
present Oongress will do no tariff tin
kering. "The Fifty-sixth Congress
has important work on its hands,”
said ho in a recent interview. “There
will be no tariff legislation daring the
present session. The condition of the
country is to-day thoroughly prosper
ous and will continue so unless iil
advised and radical legislation affect
ing the business and financial interests
of the nation is enacted during the
next few years.
“The country demands and should
have a settled and assured policy iu
raspect to those questions. The
Diugley law as a revenue producer
has more than satisfied those responsi
ble for its enactment, and has proved
gratifying to the people of the country
generally.
“It has furnished ample revenue to
carry on the Government from tha
moment the sugar aud wool schedules
began to operate. I am convinced that
the happy results it has produced will
be permanent.”
Representative Payno is right. The
Dingier law has proved so satisfactory
and in all ways beneficial to the coun
try that the people have no desire to
interrupt its operations for some time
to come.
A Straw Which Shows.
The offer of the Treasury Depart
ment to redeem $25,000,000 worth of
government bonds is an unmistakable
indication of the flourishing condition
of our national finances. The lack of
readiness shown by the holders of
bonds to take advautage of the offer
of the Secret ary of the Treasury is an
equally reliable indication of the very
satisfactory condition of commercial
affairs throughout the country. The
Dingley law seems to be doing pretty
well, both by the Government and by
the people generally.
Another Orphan Child.
Another trust has just made its ap
pearance in Free Trade Great Britain.
The London Economist of November
11, 189 J, announces the formation of
the United Indigo and Chemical Com
pany, Limited, this being an amalga
mation of eight firms which comprise
the leading indigo manufacturers of
the United Kingdom, It does notap
pear that the Dingley law is responsi
ble for this British trust, or that the
absence of the protective tariff con
stitutes any serious bar to the forma
tion of trusts.

The good man’s life is like the spark

Difficulties of thought, acceptance
jf i hat is without full comprehenion,

When interest is at vaviance with

Idleness is a craven’s goal. No

If you want knowledge, you must

To let a man know that you recog

A CANAL ACROSS FLORIDA
riiu» TV# May Steal llie Gulf Stream He
ctare* Berlin.
Berlin has beeu taking a lively in
lerest in the report that an American
sngineer bns suggested the idea of
Jigging a canal through the peninsula
of Florida in order to divert the Gulf
Stream from the west coast of Europe
to the east coast of America. Berlin
3is, however, do not display much
tuxiety over the possibility of the
United States, as it were, robbing the
northwest of Europe of some of its
warmth. They admit that Florida,
being flat, does not oppose great en
gineering difficulties to a canal dig
ger whose ambitions are within ordi
nary limits. But to make a caual
which would accommodate the Gulf
Stream would entail an expenditure
iu comparison with which the cost of
the Suez or Panama canals would be
s mere fleabite. The Suez Canal
is 160 kilometres long, 100
metres broad, and eight metres
deep. It cost 4,000,000 marks.
The Florida peninsula, at the point
where it is to be intersected,is almost
as broad as the Suez Canal is long; or,
perhaps, five or ten kilometres less.
The Gulf Stream is about 100
kilometres broad, and 200 metres
deep, aud the new canal would have
to be equally broad .and deep. That
is to say, it would have to be 25 times
as deep and more thau a 1000 times
as broad as tho Suez Canal; and the
cost of excavation, quite apart from
the extra expense of working at such
a depth, would amount to 10,000,000,-
500 of marks, or 2500 times as
much as the indemnity paid by France
to Germany. Quite apart from the
question whether it is technically
possible to dig such a broad caual to
a depth of 200 metres, the impos
sibility of raising suoh a sum may de
liver Europe from the fear of the
northwest of the continent being sub
jected to sneh an enormous lowering
of temperature.
After thus seriously considering
the idea, Berliu has arrived at the
jonelusiou that the formation of a
company will be about as far as this
newest canal scheme is likely to get.
New York Sun.
Household Economics.
Mi s. Averidge prides herself some
what upon the possession of a mind
naturally adapted to exercises of a
cpinmercial nature. She believes —
and has.no hesitation in saying so—
that were she in her husband’s place
the family financial stringency would
be permanently relieved. And yet
Observe her, for one moment, at
her desk. Her household ledger is
open before her. Bills are scattered
about in picturesque confusion. Her
pencil tip is in her mouth. Her fore
head is wrinkled in perplexity.
“Charlie!”
Mr. Averidge lookß up from his
paper. -
“What day of the month was a few
days ago?”
“The —the sixth,” ventures Mr.
Averidge.
“Oh! do you suppose it was? I
can’t seem to remefhber. ”
“I’m sure of it,” returns Mr. Aver
idge, with conviction.
A silence. Then—
“ Did we have beefsteak—sometime
—not very long ago?”
“El—l believe it was mutton
chops.”
Mrs. Averidge breathes a sigh of
relief. “That makes it all right,then,”
she 1 ay.«, closing the book and gather
ing up the bills. “I thought it was
mutton chops, but I wasn’t sure.
One ran not be too precise in matters
of this kind.”
“No, indeed,” says Mr. Averidge;
and he winks fiendishly at himself
under cover o! his paper.—Puck.
The Forest* of Cuba.
Perhaps most of us associate all
tropical forests with terrible wild
beasts and reptiles. In childhood’s
days we bad picture books illustrating
the anaconda reaching down from a
tree to circle around a man and
squeeze him. There were the jaguar
and the dead hnnter, the tiger carry
ing off a woman on his shoulder, the
’ion springing on the bull, etc. In
Cuba thiDgs are different. A returned
prospector, one of a rich sydnicate,
that is buying all the land it can find
for sale in the “Pearl of the Antilles,”
says that wild beasts are practically
unknown there. There is a wild
animal, about the »ize of our black
squirrel, called the “hutia,” which it
choice eatiDg. Deer have come over
from Florida, and abound iu some
parts of the island. Only four species
of snakes are found, and all are harm
le s. One may sleep uncovered iu
.he forests without fear of molesta
tion by beast, reptile or insect.—
