Condition of Southern Negroes.

A good deal of loose talk is heard during the year about the condition of the negroes in the South. But there is such thing as honest truth. Here is the latest bunch of statistics on the subject: In the South there are now 16,000 colored teachers, l. 100000 pupils, 1000 in the male and female.high schools and B. OOO,OOO0 worshipers in the church. es. There are sixty-six normal schools, fifty colleges, and uni versailles and twenty-five theologi- cal seminaries. They pay taxes on nearly $2,OOO,OOO worth of property, this in the Southern states, which, if including the Northern states, would double the property valuation. A race that has POO years of slavery and 4000 years of barbarism back of it needs no silent sympathy or pa tient waiting when in twenty years 1t makes such a showing. American generosity has done for the negro in twenty years what statesmanship has failed in over a century; but generosity should not be depended upon, as even that can reach limit. The negro population of the United States is now 7,00O.0O0.and insffteen years 1t will be doubled. '. Tele- gram.

The Novelty Will Not Last.

John A. Taylor, who is now pub fishing paper in Washington Territory, is chuck full of youth ful vigor and enthusiasm that characterizes all new conductors of the editorial pencil. John has several little jobs on hand which he is working up in the way of reforms. He Is trying to show his constituents the hollow empti- ness of the seductiveness of the seductive circus-trying to per suade them that the glittering splendor of this vanity fair is only tawdry tinsel and cheap paint. But Johns people will go to the circus all the same, like John and his handsome wife will them selves, provided the circus man leaves them some tickets.
 John is trying to shame the tramp nuisance out of existence, and to make his western town grow faster than its neighbors.
 Listen, John to the voice of ex- perience. We have seen the new man rise up in all his vigor to re- form mankind, and in the end be fell by the wsyside, and the pro- cession filed past them into the big tent.
 We have heard the young en- thusiast in his endeavor to lead his neighbors up to their sense of duty, which consisted Tn repairing their fences and beautifying the town; but the bitterness of disap- pointmeht attended the efforts.
 Go to, John. Saw woo6 if you have to, but don't let your love of the novelty of the exercise lead you to pile up too big row of sticks. For while your hopes will come up in the morning as bright cobwebs on the dewy grass, by ten o'clock they will be vanished like the loves of your boyhood.
 John, don't overheat your blood in your enthusiasm, and regald this advice as coming from those who have borne the heat and bur den of the day.-Du Bois, Pa, Express.

An Atlanta school girl the other day produced the following com position on boys: Boys are men that have not got as big as their papas and girls are young women that will be young women by and by. Man was made before wo- men. When God looked at Adam he said to himself, Well, I guess I can do better if try again. and he made Eve. God liked Eve so much better than he did Adam that there has been more women than men ever since. Boys are q trouble; they are wearing on ev- erything but soap.

WILLIAM EUSTIS RUSSELL,
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF MAE
SACHUSETTS.
awake man

Oliver Ames is the republican cam
didate for governor of Massachusetts
the third consecutive time, but there
is a doubt in the minds of many
people whether he will enjoy a third
term, although he is strongly sup
ported. The young man opposing
him is showing great aggressive
power and ability III the canvass.
His cultivation, character, and social
standing commend him to the respect
of educated people. Stranger things
have happened than would be the
success of the democratic candidate
for governor of Massachusetts.
William E.Russellwas born in Cam
bridge, Mass, on the 9Th of jan
uary, 1857. He received his early
training in the public schools OF Cam
bridge, in which he prepared for Har-
ward College. entering that institution
in 1873 and graduating in the class OF
1877. He was secretary of his class
while in college. After his graduation
he Immediately began the study Of
the law under his fathers eye, and
also took a course Of three years at the
Boston University law school. While
a student at the law school he won q

prize for the best essay on "Foreign
Judgments. Their Extra Territorial
Force and Effect" At the gradua-
ton exercises in 1879 he acted as his
class orator. He received the first
"Summa cum laude" degree as bach
elor of laws ever given by the univer-
sity. Mr.. Russell was admitted to
the bar in the April term of 1880, and
Immediately commenced doing bust
ness in Cambridge as member of
law firm.
His political affiliations have al
WAYS been democratic. In 1881 he be-
came q candidate and was elected q
member of the Cambridge common
council, and two years later was a
member of the upper branch of the
CITY government. He was reelected to
the Board of Aldermen in 1884, in the
same year being elected president of
the alumni of the Boston law school.
In 1885 Mr.. Russell received the nomi-
nation of his party and the "Citizens"
for the mayoralty of Cambridge, and
was elected by large majority. He
has held the reins of government in
the mayors chair for three terms, be-
ing reelected the two subsequent
years without opposition. During his
administration three of the most inn
portant matters in the history of Cam
bridge were dealt with, namely the
esta Adjustment of the waterworks, the
erection of a new bridge between Cam
bridge and Boston, and the gift and
esta blishment of free public library
Mr.. Russell took a very active in
terest in the campaign of 1884, stump
ing for President Cleveland. At the
last democratic state convention he
was prominent candidate for the
gubernatorial nomina ton, but though
he had strong following, the honor
was conferred upon Mr.. Lowering.
He was married to the daughter OF
Cambridge clergyman in 1885, and
is the father of son.
