An Impend.sg crisis.

The coming session of congress is
fraught with higher import to the
nation--especially to the Southern
states-than any which has preceded
it during thirty eventful yeara.
A strong effort will be made by
the majority of the party in power
to pass law placing the control Of
state elections practically in the
hands Of the federal government,
'nd such a law if adopted, no matter
how stringent Ito provisions, is sure
to be enforced. Whatever the ulti-
mate resu t # th policy night be,
its immediate effect would be to STAY
the progress and check the growth
OF half dozen states and indirectly
but surely to work serious injury to
he business interests of the whole
country This inevitable conse
quence must forcibly appeal to what
ever OF conservatism yet remains in
the republican ran ), and afew vot es
cast in the interest of the country
over party would avert the danger
and defeat the scheme There j.
some reason to hope for such an es-
cape, but failing in this, there still
remains chance for wise and wary
tactics on the part of the opponents
of the proposed measure to interpose
delay sufficient to secure an appeal
to the people, and congressional
elections in "off years are notable
for tendency toward reaction.
In This case, however, our strong
reliance must be upon the CONNER
cial and industrial interests of the
north, which are too intelligently
guided willingly to support any
measure likely to interfere, even
temporarily, with their own welfare
No issue involved, no pretended
principle at stake, is important
'nough to outweigh the considera-
tons Of interest, and these all demand
avoidance of needless agitation, if
not an absolute letting of we'll
enough alone. If higher motives
are wholly wanting, self-interest may
answer the desired purpose.
An appr 'hension Of the worst ap-
pears to prevade the land and IN the
South, at least, feeling of suspense
not wholly unlike the sultry stiffness
which precedes the tropical hurricane,
seems TO possess the public mind.
Yet the crisis may pass, and the open
meDaces to prosperity and peace
may prove but empty threats. Let
us earnestly hope for this result, as,
otherwise, no man can foretell the
depth or the duration of the misfor-
tune which must nsue,-Common-
wealth.

BOsIon Maats Our A1groes.

The rimes-Democrat long since in
sisted that the best solution of tn
race issue would be a gradual exodu
of the negroes from the Southern
States, where they numerically pre-
DONNA e, to the North, East and
West, where they could find employ
ment as servants and laborers. The
curse OF. our section has been the vast
number of blacks IN our populations
and II anything can be done through
immigration to thin them out, such a
movement would meet with our war
NEST appreciation.
1t is peculiarly gratifying, there
fore, to leara that cultured Boston
has inaugurated movement to i'm
port liberal supply Of negroes by
providing a transportation fund to
enable them to leave the Sunny
Southland and make their home in
New England Only 700, we regret
to say, have yet reached the New
England city, but more, we are told,
are to follow until the vacant places
in Massachusetts, domestic service
and labor circles are filled.
Now that Boston has set the fash
ion. wouldn't not be good idea for
other Northeastern, Northern and
Western States to follow the exam
ple? There are 100000 blacks in
the South who can well be exchange
ed for the white industry and mus
Gle of other sections. We have a
market that is overstocked, and we
will offer extraordinary inducements
in job lots We prefer to transact
the business wholesale, but retail
transactions will be considered
Satisfaction, it may be said IN pGsSan,
is not guaranteed. Louisiana and
Mississippi, hover, are prepared to
enter into negotiations at once on
any basis of exchange.
The race problem at the South can
never be satisfactory settled with the
presest ratio of blacks to whites in
our population. When the negro is
clearly in numerical minority, and
fear Of the domination of the Eth
opian is gone, the race issue will
disappear. But not till then.
Massachusetts sold us many Of our
negroes, and it is but fair that she
should take back unsatisfactory
goods and pay charges one way at
least. Ne are glad to see that New
England is coming to recognize this
view. We only hope that her ex-
perience with the advance squad of
700 will not prove check to further
effort in the same direction.
The negro must go-to Boston, if
she will take him, but 60 somewhere
he must if the South is to prosper
and grow strong
But, seriously, we advise our
friends in black to 60 to Boston,
where a warm welcome awaits them
They will find many avenues Of
profitable employ ment in that city
and section, and their lot in life will
be improved, They will secure q
blessing for themselves and confer a
blessing on the South.

Pdb.ic Schools.

The very liberal provisions of the
state constitution in favor of public
education have been carried out with
the utmost good faith for twenty
yea s. These provisions have been
amply supplemented by each succeed
ing legislature, and the people, hope
full of good results, have approved
every step tending to promote popu-
lar education and apparantely to
raise the standard of intelligence.
The result has not been satisfactory;
the methods necessarily adopted have
hindered the usefulness of the system
until the question is beginning to be
generally asked, sis the practica
result worth the outlay?" Have
the millions spent for public schools
brought any appreciable return?
Both result and return are felt to
have been inadequate. Yet pop ular
education must be carried on, and
school system must be maintained
Under the present constitution No
remedy is possible
The greater part of tie school
funds goes 10 maintain scho Is for
colored children, while more than
nine-t enths of the burden falls on
white taxpayers. These would not
complain, were there promise of such
return as might benefit the state, but
the outlook is far 9th erwise. The
ad cf'mem property tax, the poll-taX
and all penal assessments in the way
of fines are capable of much more
equal as we as wiser and fairer dis
tribution than that which now
obtains, upon the pro rata of edu-
cable children Leaving other
sources of supply as they are, the
apportionmenl of the funds furnish
ed by those enumerated might be
made upon basis that would secure
0 each individual taxpayer, white or
black, the direct benefit of the tax
paid by him.
The ways and means, the details
Of execution, should be left for legis-
lative consideration, but there should
he an explicit grant Of power to dis
crimlnate, provided the races are
treated upon the basis of the perfect
equality required by the federal con-
sitution.
The existing marriage laws and
those regulating the carrying of pas
sengers by railroad companies, fur
nish proof that the same principle
may be further applied without vio-
lation Of federal law .-Ex

The people of Hot Springs, Ark. q,
seem to be growing impatient over
their prospects of getting he New
Orleans, Natchez & Fort Scott Rail
road, from the following from the
Sentinel of that place:
Prospects seem good for another
railroad to Hot Springs sometime in
the sweet by and by, and maybe not
so very far in the future either. The
road from Little Rock to Paris Texas
ought to be built. In fact it has
become necessity, and when a road
is demanded in this country by the
very condition of things 1t is genei-
ally built. The New Orleans, Natchez
& Fort Scott road is getting on like
Peter CartN rights religion, 'in
spots" and will be completed some
time between this date and the blow
ing of GabrlcPs horn, provided that
GabriePs horn does not blow be-
fore the completion Of the road. 1t
may or may not strike Hot Spring..
But he road from Little Rock to
Paris will come to Hot Springs. 1t
can't find any other route. This
will be the next road which we will
get.-Ex.

HE TRUSTED The COLONEL"

General W. t. Sherman's Face is Good for
an Umbrella and Overcoat-
New York World: The other night Gen
eral sherman went up to the Broadway
theater TO enjoy Francis Wilson's merry
making in the comic OperaOt ''The OoiAh-" 3"
There was a clear sky when the general
went in, but before the performance was
over it began to rain and the temperature
became raw and cold At the end OF the
second act he went into the Gedney house,
a few doors below the theater, and inquired
of Clerk MajiltOn II he could hire an UNI
brella, at the same time explaining that ne
had been caught out in his evening SUIT,
and he feared rheumatism and other com
plants. MajiltOn didn't know him, but he
thought he could well afford to take
chances on such an emiDently respectable
looking gentleman, aud although the DO
lite clerk has rOtund figure and weighs
about 2l2, he gladly offered TO loan him his
overcoat, as well as his silver-handIed UNI
brela-
But" said the general, 'syou are lending
these things 20 an entire stranger, and you
ought 70 accept some kind of a deposit to
secure you against dishonesty"
"Oh, that's all right, colonel" replied
MejiltOn, as he tossed key gracefully to
Louis Harrison. Il can't be deceived by
you. I'd trust that face Of yours for any
thing"
The warrior was tickled by the compli-
ment, and be remarked casually as he went
out with his tall, gaunt form enveIoped in
the garment that fitted him like n meal
sack. ''I'll take you at your word, and you
shall have my card when | return these
things"
The next day the coat and umbrella ar.
rived. accompanied By a Dote of thanks
and photograph OF Gen William T. Sher-
man, with his autograph across the face
