MAKING PROGRESS.

It cannot be said that no progress is be-
ing made toward the solution OF the negro
problem. The problem may be said to be
half solved wh5n leading Southerners ex-
press the opinion that it is soluble. Such
an opinion is expressed by good many
prominent Southerners who have answered
Northerp inquiries as to the best course to
be:pursued in respect to the negroes. Gov
ernOr Taylor of Tennessee advises the
North to let the negro alone 1.-The whites
and blacks, )" says the editor Of the Atlanta
Constitution, understand each other, and
If left alone will solve the problem" The
Savannah Nel0S takes a similar view of the
question. The Galveston .NegS says there
is no negro question. and suggests that the
pr0blemoof the future of the white man is
OF a good deal more importance than the
problem Of the future OF the colored man.
Meantime considerable progress is being
made in the9 work of educating the negro.
good authority states that 200o, 06e of the
100000 can now read and write. Sixteen
thousand col0red teachers are employed in
cOlored schools, which are attended by
more than 100000 Of cQlored children.
The Southern States have expended $780,
Coo, goo in the work Of educating freedmen
and their offspring. This is doing fairly
well for the first generation Of freedom.
PrejuGiees have been overcome, and self
willed people have faced themselves in the
right direction. In the solution of the
problem no back steps win be permitted.
Privileges which have been conferred upon
the black race must remain in their possess
sion. All talk about deportation il idle.
The right Of the negro to live in the United
States is natural right which no law can
take from them. The thing now to dc is to
prepare the negro to be good citizen, and
TO exercise the franchise with about as
mach intelligence as the white man mani
tests.

A QUEER PROPOSITION.

There is proposition awaiting judicial
decision which turns over Chinese accused
of certain crimes to the Federal courts.
This proposition, 10 say the least, is a peeu-
liar one. If an Englishman, Frenchman or
German comes to San Francisco and vio-
lates any of our city ordinances the State
or city courts try the case, and they find
him guilty, convict and punish him. Their
respective governments have nothing to
say so long as we pursue the same course in
regard TO them that we do to natives. But
the Chinese seem TO think that the fact OF
their being aliens entities them to trial by
our Federal courts. These lawyers assume
probably that the Federal courts will pro-
nounce the ordinance under which the Chi
nese have been convicted in local courts at
variance in some respects with the Constitu-
ton. But a test of that kind should be made
upon some other ground than that the
State courts have not Jurisdiction over

MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS.

The trial of Sheriff Flack and the ex-
posure Of the methods by which people who
came in contact with the Sheriif's deputies
were robbed leads one paper to say that all
this exposure of municipal iniquities will
be vain uEless the people of the city go to
the bottom of things and abolish the source
OF all these infamies. The source is the
method by which municipal officers are
dominated. What is required is a radical
change in the method Of choosing the men
who administer municipal affairs. One re-
form much talked about is the Australian
system OF placing candidates before the
public and another the plan of David Dud-
ley Field, which requires voters when they
register to indicate their choice of candi-
date ,for a certain Office. A given number
of these preferences constitutes nomina-
tionoe and secures "a place on the official
ticket In this way the agency of the boss
ruled convention in giving the voters a
choice between two sets Of candidates may
be defeated. Governor Hill has just vetoed
tie SaXton bill, which embodies the nomi-
mating features of the Australian system,
and our local boss may be relied upon to
bring ;all his power to bear to defeat any
bill'6f like character which may be intro

OF this nature must be overcome. Good,
cleans efficient municipal government is Of
the greatest importance. 1t is the part of
government that comes closest to our
homes and home life. Our schools, our Fire
Department, our streets. parks, police and
public charities are all under the direction
n oai>nlHnieipal officers. That branch of
the government collects the largest part of
our direct taxes, and has more to do than
people generally realize with creating the
conditions which make life pleasant And
yet dozen. men acting as self-appointed
managers of the two parties name the can
didateS onsthe tive tickets which the voters
choose between. A way must be found to
put an end 10 this farce.

DEPRESSION.

The American Agriculturist gives three
causes for the present depressed condition
of our agricultural interests. which may be
rolled into one-over-production caused by
the free land policy of the Government, ag
gravated by our free immigration system
The free land policy of the Government has
brought land under cultivation more
rapidly even than it has brought people
into the country. With all our development
in the way of manufactures the agricul-
tural product has increased in excessive
proportions. Virgin soil has produced
immense crops, thus adding to the natural
over-production consequent upon an in
creased area of territory under cultivation.
Oyer-production in agricultural products
presents more serious problem than the
Over-production of our mills and factories.
The poor man consumes as much food as
the rich one. As he acquires wealth he
increases expenditures in other directions,
but not materially in this. He may live in
q better house and one more extensively
furnished, wear better clothes and allow his
personal expenses TO double and TREBLE but
his consumption of food is not greater. lii
the coming year land will not be brought so
rapidly into the market We have eeen
pressing things in this way without giving
much thought to consequences. The Amer
lean desert has disappeared from our map
and the greater part of it is producing some
kind of food. 1t is more likely than not
that we shall never again produce SO much
grain of the various kinds in proportion to
population as we did last year. If there is
no trifiing with our protective policy the
number engaged in other than agricultural
pursuits will increase in proportion to the
entire population. This will enlarge the
home market, even if it should be relieved
by larger foreign demand for our bread
stuffs than there has been in the last three
wears

who "had never had any disease but mea-

read by the Secretary. The writer sug-

EDITORIAL NOTES,

Sherman's Antitrust Bill has been radi-
cally amended in the Senate. Reagan's
amendment provides that those engaged in
engineering combinations restricting trade
limiting production, preventing competi-
ton IN merchandise, produce or c0mmodi-
ties. or creating a monopoly in the manu-
faeture, sale or transportation of any
such article shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and shall be subject to
a fine of not less than $4,000 or i'm
prisonment not exceeding five years or
both. Sherman also introduced an amend
ment providing that the act shall not be
construed TO apply to combinations among
laborers to lessen the hours of labor or to
secure increased wages, nor to combina-
tons among horticulturiSts to enhance the
value of agricultural or horticultural prod
ucts.
The leader of the Center party in Ger
many is Ludwig Won Windthorst, ex-Minis-
Ter of the old Kingdom of Hanover, the
only man who ever held his own with Bis
marck on the floor of the Reichstag. He is
small, slight man, with a wrinkled face,
from which shine forth eyes beaming with
intelligence, kindliness, courage and humor
The marked contrast between him and the
old Chancellor, who is OF towering size,
made his pluck all the more conspicuous
He will play an important part in German
legislation of the future, as his party holds
the balance of power and is not inclined to
make entangling alliances.
The Senate Committee on the Census has
amended the Chinese Enumeration Bill so
that it is unacceptable to the California
delegation. 1t excerpts merchants tourists
and students from the operations of the
act, provided they have the certificates re-
quired by the act of July s. 1884, and an ad-
ditional section enables Chinese residents
who fail to secure the required certificates of
Identification to prove by competent testi-
mony their right 10 them.
