Letting Wen Enough Alone.

Philadelphia Times.
At meeting held in Washington last
week to indorse the Blair educational bill
a colored man from Alabama surprised
the audience by protesting against the
ideas involved in the bill. He asserted
that the people of the north did not IN
derstand the needs OF the negro, and
that, as a result, their well-meant inter
ference was doing more harm than good
He averred that the local authorities of
Alabama gave all the aid to cOlored
schools that was necessary. He closed
with the advice: LET the negro stand
alone. Let him take care of himself"
The man who had the good sense and
the holiness to speak thus is the intelli-
gent principal of a colored training
school. That he recognizes the real
needs of his own race cannot be ques-
toned. Not only is the negro doing well
for himself in the matter of education.
hut the whites are doing everything in
their power to help him. The system de-
velOped by this mutual effort is adapted
to the necessities of the situation, and
will, if left alone, work out the educa-
tional salvation of the south far better
than will be possible if hot-bed methods
are applied
1t cannot be too often enforced that
the south must build up an educational
system of its own. 1t cannot take one
ready-made and apply it to its own situa-
uon and necessities. A great deal of
nonsense Is also put forward about the
awful danger to which the country is sub
Jected by the existence of illiteracy in the
south in spite of the fact that the ratio of
crime to population is smaller in Missis-
sippi, with all its illiteracy, than in
Massachusetts, with all its education.
The negroes and poor whites of the south
are hard at work doing something for
themselves under many difficulties. At
the same time they are learning what
they can. They are doing it in their own
way, and, as they pay for it, they are cul-
tivating independence while mastering
the three Rs.

IAN EXPLANATION"


We commend to the careful con-
sideration of our citizens the ex-
PLANTATION of differences in the mu-
nicipal accounts as shown in the
pamphlet compiled by Mr. Moates.
None of us have accused the clerk
of personal crookedness, but the
manner in which his own statement
shows the books to have been kept,
proves that even in this carelessness
lies a danger we must guard against
in the future. This community al
ready demands sewerage, pure and
abundant water, gas works and a
serviceable police force. To secure
these the city must have credit, and
it will be swamped under the neces-
sites of it's own rapid growth if we
do not have men of financial ability
in the council, or we must stop the
wheels of progress and rest content
with the growth already made. We
must have mayor of energy and
determination, or we cannot enforce
efficiency in our police force.
The looseness in the whole ma
chinery is admitted on all hands,
and emphasized not only by the
pamphlet, but in stronger terms by
Mr. Sawyer's own statement. These
errors may be omissions only; we
have the clerks word for it that
''there is plenty evidence it was
properly paid as well as ordered
and we have never thought that
officer guilty of any part in the ex-
tortions which have marked the
course Of our old council; but when
such showing must be made it is
we'll to remember that incompetent
cy or carelessness may cost the pub
lie as much as corruption or malad-
ministration. We only ask the vo-
! tiers of our town to consider the
statements of yesterday and to-day,
and make up their minds as to the
ticket they will prefer.

We are gratifed to chronicle the
presence in our state of several dis
tinguished senator's and their friends.
1t is to be hoped that no effort will
be spared to call their attention to
the absolute necessity of cOntinu-
ing our fast mail trains. The nee
essary appropriation was not made
by the house of representatives, but
it will be in the power of the senate
to remedy this, by amendment,
when the bill comes up for their
consideration. Let our representa-
tive men convince these senators, as
they easily can, of the folly and in
justice of depriving Florida of her
existing mail facilities, the loss of
which viii be a misfortune to every
citizen Of the state.

we only stop to remind him that the
supreme court cannot give an opin-
ion as to the legality of suppose
tious act of possible Legislature as
yet unborn. The judges of that
august tribunal sit to decide, on ap-
peal only, questions Of law presen-
ted for its Interpolation through
regular channels. They are in no
sense attorneys paid by the state to
advise the governor We only fear
the gentleman viii explain his mis-
take by saying while he slept some
one used his editorial page, and

THE EXTRA SESSION.

When the Sanford Journal first
began to urge tbe expediency of an
extra session of ne legislature to
appropriate funds for the New Or
leans exposition, we expressed in all
kindness our firm belief that the
constitution gave no warrant for
such appropriation. This position,
which we were the first to assume.
Is now conceded correct. The Jour
nal itself now acknowledges its er-
ror along with the Times-Union and
the other papers which followed It's
wild career.
But 1t starts anew on course so
beset with errors, and hedged in by
fancies, that we must allow the gen
tleman to state his own position, or
we shall be accused of doing him
injustice:
Might it not be the duty Of the Gov
ernor TO require the opinion of the
supreme court, as to whether the legisla-
ture had the authority, under the con
stitution, to do the thing proposed. rather
than assemble that body, with the at
tendant expenses, have them do the
questionable act and submit that to the
supreme court for review? We think so,
and that course, if not in accordance
with a rigid Interpretation of the Ian
guage of the constitution, is at least not
inhibited by it, and would be justified
by the interests involved. So we thought
in the matter under consideration. But
that is entirely immateriaI now. As we
understand it. the question has been de-
cided. The governor has exercised his
prerogative of deciding the question Of
the call adversely, without consulting
the supreme court upon the incidental
point raised, and without giving to the
public the reasons for the conclusion
reached as he had the right to do-and
that ends the matter"
Now, this proposition is so absurd
that we fear some assistant has sto-
len the doctors potent pencil, and
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1884-03-30

A favorite argument with the adj
voeates of the Blair educational bill
is that it is necessary to educate the
negro to diminish his propensity for
crime. And yet crime is less prev
alent in Mississippi with all her ne
groes, than in Massachusetts with
all her culture. Let the eternal ne
gro alone. We distrust that educa-
ton which will turn him from
chicken-lifting to safe-cracking.

THE PHILADELPHIA TINES, 1884,
THE TINES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be
fore in its histOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganizatiOn, and an bic sSOh OF contributions
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance. but will meet every issue. as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government. and the pub
lie welfare. And. while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of PHILADELPHIA it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display. but in the intelligence and care. the
cOnciSeness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TINES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world. bat all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise ana attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instTuc-
tive reading. The best writer's at home and
abroad are employed TO enrich its columns,
aHd to make it a journal adaDrpd both 10 the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle. q welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens Of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago The day OF those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying- Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on OurfOrward-mOyIngp people: they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness. but it
Is gone; and. with it, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault OF the papers; it was the i'm
prOyemenU of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they
live. now require fresher news; and they re-
uuirc more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers of the types of
every passing week whatever mas lasting IN
tereSt to the people at large, and sets il before
them in such generosity Of paper and print as

I IIIta4VIt IIId TItss IEttp.T.
For forty years the democratic party
has been tending towards free trade. 1t
has shown disposition to strike down
protective duties whenever it had an op-
portunity. If it has any principle at all,
1t IS opposition to protection. If it has
any square issue with the republican par
ty, 1t IS on this question. 1t must either
accept 1.-THE responsibility which it assumed
IN organizing the house and present a
measure which embodies its declared
policy, or it must skulk away and earn
the contempt of the country by attempt
ing to play a double game and showing
itself afraid to avow its real purpose.

We call the attention Of our citi-
zens to the statements made as to
the capital and business diverted
from US by high prices for lands and
rents. OF course no man can be ex-
pected to make individual sacrifice
of his private purse for the public
benefit, but when such enterprises
are proposed it would be well to Sc
cure their location at almost any
public cost. We can already real
ize that the money given to the
+. S. r. R. was money saved, and
it would be the case in other instan-
ces as well. Other towns donate
both land and money to such enter
prises, and when we have a progress
sive city government we can do
more to show how we appreciate the
proper control of the tide that
leads to fortune" 1t is quite posi-
BILE for community in our position
to be both "penny wise and pound
foolish"

Comments ON Available Men.

CHICAGO, Feb 22-The Inter Oceans New
York special says: A member of the Ma
tional Republican committee, who has just
arrived from the west, and who has stopped
in the interior Of this state on his way, said:
I think Arthur's chances depend entirely
upon New York. He must have the solid
delegation to win. Edmonds stands well
among theorists. but there is no real enthusi-
asm for him. Logan's boom is like big
bass drum and just as empty. John Sher-
mans chances have become more promising
than ever before. He and Foster are
reconciled, and there has just been a
conference at Washington designed to con-
solidate Ohio for the great financier Amos
Townsend, who has just come from that
conference, favors Sherman. Fosters utter
ances during his recent visit bore construc-
tion in Sherman's favor. Sherman's boom
will rapidly develop At the same time I
think that Blaine is the popular favorite, and
is as surely an aspirant for the nomination as
in 1876 or 1880. His policy now is one Of re-
tirement but his friends are quietly at work
everywhere. The conquest at Chicago, I
believe, will be between Blaine and Sherman;
and should Blaine fail to get the nomination
it will be because business men distrust him.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 10. Joseph Nimmo,

elaborate and exhaustive report of the pro-

the transportation, consumption, and exporta-
tion of hog products, with especial reference
to the interdicton of American hog products
from France and Germany.
The following extracts are taken from this
document:
Swine are raised in every state in the
Union. According to the census, the number
of hogs on farms in the United States in

Somebody's Blunder.
UN1oNTowN, Pa, Feb 22.-The little min
ing hamlet of East Lei ~nring, six miles from
this town, has been the scene of frightful
catastrophe. At o'clock in the morning gas
exploded in the south butt heading of the
Connellsville Coke & Iron company's shaft,
and nineteen miners were almost instantly
killed.
Many of the victims were terribly mangled,
and burned almost beyond recognition. The
coroner empanelled a jury, viewed the
the inquest until Saturday morning. The
shaft is the deepest in the district, and has
been open less than two years. Judge Henry
Leisenring, Of Mauch Chunk, Pa, is presi-
dent of the company.
Most of the dead bore no visible marks of
violence, but had died of suffocation. Their
dust having been blown into the skin. Some
of them were so burned that the flesh dropped
off them in places when removed.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 22-Among the
miners here a revulsion Of sentiment has
taken place during the last twenty-four
hours, and the talk of the explosion being
caused by negligence is now widespread A
score of miners are willing to affirm that the
air has been bad for a week back, and
that they could not work without complete
exhaustion. A miner named Duffy, who
worked In room 6, right in the midst of the
place charred by the explosion, refused to
work on the morning of the disaster, because
he said no man could live in the place.
A young man named Dugan, who has

to the effect that the accident was caused
