A colored clergyman told us re-
Gently that in Boston he did not
believe three colored boys were
learning trades. The statement was
so extraordinary that we enquired
what became of the intelligent color
ed boys who were graduated from
the Boston schools, and we found, to
our shame, that even those of the
high schools had to begin as office
boys and end as hotel walters. This
is condition as dangerous as slav-
ery.-Boston Pilot.
Here in the much-abused South,
where according to many northern
papers, the Negro is hated and per-
secuted, he is not only allowed to
learn trade, but when he becomes
a skillful workman, he actually finds
regular employment and is paid good
wages, without which all the social
equality that could be heaped upon
him would do him no good; and the
sensible Negroes take employment
at remunerative wages every time in
preference to so called social equal
ity.-Christian Index.

A very unusual scene was wit
messed in street car in New York
the other day-that of an ex-Presi-
dent of the United States giving up
his seat to working girl. Mr..
Cleveland was riding to his office,
and the car was full. When the
girl entered nobody seemed to be
going to offer her seat, and MOTTO
ing this, the cx-President arose,
politely insisted that she should
take the seat he had vacated, and
made the rest Of the trip standing.
The young girl did not know him,
and doubtless when she discovers
that it was an ex-President who
gave up his seat for her, she will
admire Mr.. Cleveland more than
she ever did before and she will
not forget that the space that was SO
gracefully yielded to her was very
comfortable, because it was large
enough to accommodate two girls of
average size.

many things that they have been
accustomed to obtain from distant
places. This Is particularly true of
those manufactured goods of which
the South is heavy purchaser.
Formerly..nearly every tool, machine,
household article and garment ma
terial used in the South was made
at the North or in Europe. 1t was
necessity then, but it need not be
in the future. The South has ceas-
ed to be absolutely dependent on
other sections, and can make itself
independent if its people will that it
shall be. Do not send North for
anything you can get at the same
price and of the same quality Of
some one near by. Enterprise in
any community rebounds to it's adj
vantage even when a single indi-
vidual or firm is the immediate gain

One thing the South greatly lacks
is ready money. There is great
wealth of lands, buildings, merchan-
disc and crops, but comparatively
little cash or It's equivalent. Every
dollar expended in its adds to the
circulation and by so much reduces
interest rates. When a Southerner

much helping to keep his section a

the North, while every man wht
buys whatever the South produces
is by little or by much assisting hi
section to attain financial indepen.

Political economy, like charity,
must begin at home if the South
would attain the full MEASURE of that
wealth and that financial indepen-
dence for which God has given her
the foundation in bounteous natur-
al resources, but, in the practice Of
that economy, her people must buy
at home all her domestic products
they need, and to purchase else
where nothing that she supplies.

French Progress.

France, at the hundredth anniversary Of
the great Revolution, is casting up the ac-
count Of her material prosperity in that time.
The French Statistical Society finds that
century ago land was worth 500 per hectare
ga acres against $40 at the present time;
that the population of the whole country has
grown from p. 0OO, 900 to 3S,0Oo.0O0; while that
OF Paris has increased from 100000 to 2,3l0,
900. Cab fares were cheaper a hundred
years ago. and good place at the theatre
only cos. franc; but bread was three times
as dear as now. Compared with our own
progress this is a small showing for century
of effort. Our population increases as much
in five years as Frances has increased in a
century, our waste places are becoming more
valuable than the ancient domains Of France
and If bread is cheaper to the French people
than 1t was century ago. 1t is because the
United States affords the most bounteous
and the cheapest granaries on earth. AS to
cab fares and theatre tickets, they are hardly
units suitable for the measurement of mater
ial progress. But small as is her showing
beside Americas, France has yet done WELL
Amid failures and discouragements unpre-
cedented she has supplanted absolute mon
archy and established government by the
people ON the hostile soil of continental
Europe. 1t may be that her popular govern
ment is a sickly plant, shaking in every
breeze and breaking in every gale; but con-
sidering the soil and the environments the
degree OF health which it has attained is a
credit to those who watch over it. And if,
during all the troublesome years of this trial,
the French people have increased in num-
bers and prosperity, even in what seems
slight degree, they, should be congratulated
rather than criticized.

End of a Famous Case.

Daniel Clark, wealthy Louisianian, died
in 1913, leaving large fortune and two wills
Yesterday the dispatches announced that the
latest suit in the celebrated will case of Nv
ra Clark Gaines had been settled by decis-
lon OF the United States Supreme Court.
This case has longer record than any other
case ever before that tribunal The record
OF 1t is SO bulky that two strong men could
barely lift it the other day in the court room ;
and unlike many bulky books it contains one
OF the most interesting romances OF the cen
fury. Daniel Clark left mother in Penn
sylvania; and a daughter, Myra Clark, born
In 1906 removed from home at the age Of five
days and destined to be brought up and to be
married under another name and without
knowledge Of her parentage. Daniel Clark
left also two wills, one dated in 1911, giving
his property in New Orleans to his mother !;
and another, dated in 1913, just before his
death, revoking the will of 1911. Daniel
Clark died of yellow fever, and during the
war with England, and there was at his bed
side no friend of the orphaned and neglected
daughter. The will of 1918 was concealed
by interested parties, and the will of 1911
was probated. Under this will, the proceeds
of Daniel Clark's estate were paid to his
mother, the real estate, including a tract in
what is now the heart of the city of New
Orleans, being sold at that time to the city.
Twenty years passed by. and the daughter
becoming the wife of William w. Whitney.
became at the same time the possessor of the
secret Of her parentage. She learned also,
by some means, of the lost will of her father
and In 1884 began proceedings to establish it,
and to recover her patrimony, including the
tract of land in New Orleans. After forty.
years OF indefatigable effort and the expen-
diture of the fortunes of two husbands in
long legal contests with the city of New Or
leans, Myra Clark, or Mrs. Gaines, as she
became by her second marriage, established
the fraud that was practicedi ion her when an
infant, and secured the right to the property
devised to her. But this was not the end of
the case. Ms. Gaines is dead, most of the
family are dead; but Monday, the Supreme
Court decided that the city of New Orleans
must pay halt million dollars for the use
Of the property that was sold to it fraudu-
lently and held by it from the rightful owner
for so many years. 1t has taken seyenty-six
years to right the wrong done fatherless
orphan child in New Orleans in 1913; but
that wrong has finally been righted by the
highest tribunal of the land against every
effort of the wealthiest and most powerful
city of the South. 1t is poetic, If not sum-
mary justice.

President Harrison favors the slouch hat
When he walks or drives out he wears a soft
black hat with an ample brim. He drives
sometimes with Mrs. Harris on. Then his
SLOUGH hat is apt to be tilted forward little
SO as to shade his face. and his shoulders are
shrugged up so that his head appears to be
settling down between them. He is good
horseman. and handles the ribbons with as
much skill as Gen. Grant did. Washington
has not been accustomed, since Grant went
out OF Office, to see President driving about
the streets unattended, and President Har-
rison's buggy is still one of the wonders
talked of on the streets.

The sad tragedy in Springfield, Mass,
where young man was mistaken for
burglar and shot dead, shows the folly OF
keeping firearms handy. Pushing up win
dow and shouting will brighten burglar off
quite as expeditiously as taking down a shot
gun and discharging it, and the chances of
shooting burglar with the gun
are not half as good as the chances
of shooting some innocent per-
son. The burglar is on the watch and is
pretty certain to be out of the way before a
gun can be aimed at him. Besides a person
reused suddenly from sleep by the cry of a
burglar in the house is not likely to be in
full possession of his senses, and is liable to
do as this Springfield man did, If he has
shotgun within reach. blaze away at the first
