An Absent Minded Man.

"Now, be sure not 20 forget" said a lady,
playfully shaking her finger at her escort, as he
arose TO stretch his legs between the acts, and
turning to a lady friend, explained: He is so
absent minded,
Does he forget your letters and errandss"
"Oh, no, Indeed, He is so absent-minded |
never intrust any to him. But he forgets me.
Why only last week he went out between the
acts and never returned, / went home alone
and found him peacefully smoking his cigar be
fore the open fire, quite oblyious Of myself and
the theater. was very indignant, but when |
began, with tears in my eyes, how could you
go off and leave me sog' the whole occurrence
seemed TO flash upon him. He sprang TO his
feet declaring that he had been worrying all the
evening about something he had forgotten, and
so overwhelmed me with loving protestations
that couldn't talk TO him very seriously.N

The negro problem in the south is dis
cussed in newspapers, magazines, and on the
stump and lecture platform. Congressman
talk about it in interviews, and ministers OF
the gospel refer to it in their sermons. But
what does all that is said concerning it
amount to! Absolutely nothing. Nobody
that has publicly spoken or written about 1t
has suggested a solution OF it that has
attracted more than a passing notice. A
good many sentimental things have been
said with regard to il, and some rather
startling ones, but nothing new or valuable
has been offered.
There are several things that all admit.
One is that the negro is in the southern
states to stay. Another is that there is no
probability that the more numerous white
race will assimilate the less numerous black
race The two races are drifting apart
rather than together. Still another is that
the negroes are steadily increasing in num-
bers
These things are stated over and over
again with variations, in which the charac-
teristics of the negro are pointed out, the
progress he has made since receiving his
freedom is stated, and his prospects for i'm
proving his intellectual, moral and mate
rial condition are enlarged upon. But no
where is there any indication that a solu-
ton of the negro problem is near at hand
The probability is that the problem will
have to solve itself What the solution
will be no one can predict with any degree
of certainty. The guessing will continue,
of course, and able men will devote their
time to showing that the future of the negro
will be in harmony with some theory they
have, but their theories will not be accepted
and the arguments they advance in support
of them will be shown to be fallacious.
The only thing that can be done to assist
in solving the negro problem is to accord
the negro justice and common sense treat
ment This he will get from the southern
people, and he will likely get il in a fuller
measure if there is no interference on the
part OF the people of the north. Unless the
people of the future are gifted with greater
wisdom than those of the present, the negro
problem will work itself out, but how long
it will be before the solution is reached, and
whether the way to it will be marked by
serious troubles, no one can tell

A Darky Who Spoke French.
From the 81. Louis Republtc.

Tfvm ttt o. t~outS ltpNOttCs
When Jane Hadng, the French actress, was
here recently she put up at a hotel where it
seems that neither the proprietor nor any of his
clerks could speak French, and as the actress
and her maid understood no English there was
an embarrassing state of affairs for some little
time. The proprietor of the hotel went all
about the house inquiring of his guests if any Of
them could speak French, but met with no sue
cess His dilemma grew worse and worse and
finally he said: What am l to do? l don't
want to have her leave"
The biggest blacklist darby waiter in the
hotel stepped to the rescue with the remark:
BOSS, | speck l kin hep you out; speak
French"
You do?'
well, do"
Where in the world did you learn to speak
French?'
Born an raised in de West Indies. Speaks
it bout as we'll as l does English
You march right up there then and attend
to Mime. Hading while she is here. You wait
on her, as her meals are to be served in her
apartments"
The big West Indies darby acted both as in
terpreter and waiter all that week.

Longstreet.
From the 81. Louis Republic (Denr.)

From the 81. Louis Republic (Dem)
Gen. Longstreet has never given indication of
the reckleSsness and lack of scruple that char
acJerize such professional office hunters as
Gen. Chalmers of Mississippi 1t is certain,
moreover, that he is not the man to visit the
President-elect without invitation, and whatever
the significance of his visit it is not likely that
1t has been instrumental in narrowing Harrison's
views on any question of our politics. Long
street is the most prominent and one of the
most honest of the republicans OF his section,
and if there is to be a republican in the Cabinet
from the south, Harrison will do well in not
holding against him the Irregularities in his ac-
counts as United States marshal

Mr.. Cleveland's Plurality.

The Democratic party has no reason to be
discouraged on account of its defeat in the
recent election. The entire vote cast in thai
election has not yet been canvassed, but Mr..
Cleveland's plurality of the popular vote
will be nearly 100000. There is no doubt
that the increase in Mr. Cleveland's popl-
lar vote as compared with his vote in 1884
was greater than the increase in Gen. Har-
risons vote over the vote for Mr.. Blaine
In fact, Mr.. Cleveland's plurality was
nearly 40, 900 greater than it was four years
ago.
The popular vote shows that the Demo.
cratic party is not losing ground, although
the electoral college would seem to indicate
otherwise. 1t will hardly..be questioned by
fair minded men, however, that money had
an immense influence in making the polit
ical complexion of the electoral college
what it is
The republican campaign was more
shrewdly managed than that of the demo
Gratis, and besides, the republicans had q
vast campaign fund. which they placed
where it would do the most good. The
republicans wasted neither time nor money
on states about which there was no doubt
They devoted all their efforts to the doubt,
full states. In that respect they were wise
1t is alleged that the democratic managers
thought they could carry Ohio, Michigan
and even Illinois, and that they made
extraordinary efforts in Ohio. If they had
concentrated their efforts ON New York
and let Ohio alone, the chances are that Mr.
Cleveland would have been reelected.

LOST HIS HEAD IN DREAMLAND
The Unpleasant Experience of a Mas
sachusetts Man while Asleep.

From the Springfield Republican.
prominent Worcester business man passed
through an experience in dreamland few
nights ago that is puzzling the local psycholo-
gists and will add interesting data for the So
ciety of Psychical Research. He had an idea he
before he began work it occurred to him that it
would be the easiest thing in the world to take
off his head and, placing it on the table, facili-
tate matters. 1t seemed in the dream that TINS
was allowable for a certain number of minutes
without endangering life So he hung up his
watch to count the minutes.
Ihe operation continued till some errand
called the man across the room, and he returned
to find his head was missing. He looked at the
watch and found that the time was near when
he must have his head in its proper place if he
cared to keep IL. Then he lost his head in two
ways and rushed frantically about the room,
looking in every available place. Just as the
minute hand was about to cross the fatal point
the Worcester man woke up, felt for his head
and was relieved to find it there

The republican newspapers have found a
great deal of satisfaction apparently in call
ing attention to the omission of any men
ton of civil service reform in the Presi-
dents message, and the republican states
men in Washington are reported to be quite
merry over the matter. Are not the republi-
cans laughing too soon! The President has
never faltered in his fidelity to civil
service reform, and the probabilities
are that he will not show any weakness
with regard to it during the remainder of
his term.
He has enforced the civil service law
faithfully, and will DOUBTLESS continue to DO
so. Within the next few weeks the railway
mail service will probably be placed in the
classified service, and then nearly all the
minor offices will be subject to the civil
service reform regulations.
The impression is that the President
made no mention of civil service reform in
his message because he intends TO
deal with the subject in a separate
message. If this impression is correct, the
republicans will certainly conclude that
they laughed too soon. When the Presi-
dent gets through with civil service re-
form, he will have made it about impossi-
bic for the republicans even to go back to
the spoils system. Nearly all the minor
offices will be beyond their reach. They
will feel more like shedding tears then than
laughing. 1t viii be Mr.. Cleveland's turn
to laugh, and the people will laugh with
him
