The Negro and HI. Progress.

The Negro and His Progress.
To the Editor OF The Dispatch;
For the sake of fairness allow me sufficient
space in your paper to show thefallacy of some
of Scotch-Irish DR.. Bryson's statements as pub
lished yesterday morning. The colored popu-
lation of Alabama is only few thousand less
In number than the whites Of that State. They
are the laborers. artisans and small farm
holders. They raise the lions share OF the
agricultural products, are merchants, con-
tractors, instructors and professional people.
and in no State of the Southland are there
more gratifying evidences of intelligence,
progress and thrift than can be found among
the colored people of Alabama. This can be
proven by reliable data The charge that they
contribute less than 5000 of fund of sl6O, 900
annually expended by the State for their edu-
cation must be misstatement.
1t goes without saying that if anyone in the
South pays the tax levy it is the negro land,
owner, or the possessor Of few personal
effects. If under a white Democratic State
administration these moneys are misappi1ed IL
is hardly just cause for glorifcation. One
thing is sure, revolutions never go backward,
and the negroes of the South will reach tnelr
proper political status in the fullness OF time,
though a million of Brysons stand up TO pre-
vent it. ONE OF THE NEGROES.

DEATHS OF A DAY.
william e. Carorhers.

William e. Carothers, an aged citizen Of Fay
cite county, died at the residence of his son. G. T.
Carothers, near Washington, Pa, at 8 O'Clock
Thursday morning. Mr.. Carothers was of Scotch
Irish descent, his ancestry being among the first
settlers of Chambersburg. In 1872 his grand
father took up body of land in Westmoreland
county, from which the subject of this sketch re-
moved in 1865. From that time until within
about year he had resided at Uniontown, where
he is well known. Pohtpicaiiy Mr: Carothers was
the old Presbyterian stock. As citizen he was
honest and conscientious. a man of liberal views
in ali things pertaining to the public welfare n
man of sound Judgment and as business man
and farmer she was active, persevering and sue
cessful. He is the father of s. E. and r. r
Carotbers, Of NcKeesport. Funeral at Union

NO PRESS CENSOR.
The American People viii Tnke Care of
the Matter Themselves.

the Matter Themselves.
The Newsman.I
With the immense growth of journalism,
having more than doubled during the past ten
years, 1t Is not reasonable to suppose that black
spots would not appear. 1t is the ulcer growth
on the journalistic body. 1t must and will
ventilate itself, and the good Christian CON-
munity will take due precaution to guard itself
in case the matter becomes harmful
To pass an act of Congress granting power to
postmasters to have the right of exclusion
from the mail of what they deemed improper,
would be extremely disastrous. 1t would be 3
calamity that would cause such arebelion that
those who promoted the measure would for
ever be buried from public sight. The little
sore that exists to-day can be treated
by the common sense of people who
jealousy watch that no evil from the
printing press will invade their home. No. the
American people want no censor of the press.
They will take care of this matter themselves.
Let the subject never again be broached in our
legislative halls, as 1t is not in the spirit of our
institutions. pregnant as il is with evils that
bear the stamp of slavery and the dark ages.
There need be no fear, but timely warning
may save the friends of good government much
time and worry.

A CHICAGO court is wrestling with the
gu estion whether boilermaking is immoral,
upon the complaint of numerous citizens that
the prosecution of that industry in their imme-
diate vicinity is an active agent in producing
evaporation and profanity. The question in
that form may be a debatable one: but some
thousands of Pittsburgers who listened to
Strauss music last Tuesday with boiler-mak-
ing accompaniment from neighboring shops,
can bear testimony that il is not artistic.

DECORATION DAY was quietly observed
throughout the city. The exercises at the va
rious cemeteries were full of the spirit of the
day, and it is satisfactory to observe that there
was less of the junketing and parade than has
been the case on former anniversaries. The
public. as a general thing, showed its good
taste and its comprehension of the object of
the holiday by observing it. not as celebra-
ton, but as a memorial.

ARomance Spoiled.


Two lovers went to the baseball game
One afternoon in May,
He was sscrank;n she never had seen
Professional players play.
He faithfully tried to explain 1t all,
She tried to understand:
But the more he talked the less she knew
Why he thought the game was grand"
He cheered. lie danced. he yelled ''Hi! Hi!'
She calmly looked about;
And If anyone made a three-base hit
She asked If the man was out.
She tried her best to keep the score,
But when the game was done
He found that whenever foul was hit
She'd given the man home run.
1t dampened his ardor to have her say,
"Why doesn't the umpire bat?''
And each ques stion she asked diminished hfs love,
Though he wouldn't have owned TO that.
Till at last she asked, In her guileless way,
(which nine is playing now?'
He broke the engagement then and there,
And now they don't even bow.

ALL GIRLS SHOULD ROW.
1t is Good for the Body and Helps TO Prolong
Life.


Life.
Young women should conquer the timidity
that they feel the moment they set foot in a
row boat. A young man of the right sort has
no patience with the want of confidence
women have in themselves and in his care for
them. Bear in mind, courage is quality not
to be despised, anu can be worn becomingly by
any girl. 1t will come to you, and perchance
has, as 1t does to all women in some time of
great emergency, and yet you are here afrai1 of
that which an Ida Lewis has mastered when at
its worst, and which. if once understood, would
give you pleasure and greater bodily strength.
Some good oarsman will show you how to sit
in boat and how to row with one oar and then
with two. He will teach you the strokes and
other matters necessary To be acquired. Enjoy
your rowing as you would your bath or your
breakfast, because 1t is good for the body and
helps, as does all physical exercise. to prolong
life. Swimming, girls take to even better than
boys, and are much more graceful; and every
girl should, If possible understand this most
useful of pastimes.-EILen LIE Gdrds in Ladies

A dozen men were standing around the de-

longed to. One said it was housesnake
Another contended that it was a rattler, and

A NOCTURNE.

The mother said, as he rose from bed
To walk the floor with the child:
'Dear, you must not fret, he's our little pet,
Our boy,'' and she sweetly smiled.
The father sighed as he replied:
SO, yes! he's a charming elf,
But 'twould be less rough were he big enough
To walk the floor with himself"

on the handle with apparent carelessness. and
hears every word that may be uttered without
attracting undue attention to his infrmity.

Mr.. WILLIAM DEAN HowELLs is hopeful
| about the future of the American drama.
but he is in despair about the critics. Several
pages of Hdrper'S Magazine for June are filed
with the novelists dellverances upon the
| drama, the abandoned critics, and Mr. Howells'
favoriue plays of the season.
One notable thing about Mr.. Howells as
| dramatic critic is his utter contempt of con-
| sistency. To be sure consistency is a Jewel out
| of place in critic, it may be said but it does
sound rather odd when Mr.. Howells belabors
| the dramatic critics for undertaking the ma
| tive drama on page 152. and on page 157 makes
| no apology for stating that all the American
plays he had been pralsIng are playthings be-
SIDE Sudermann's "Die Ehre," which he saw at
German theater played in German by Ger
man actors. If Mr.. Howels goes at this
rate the native drama, well as the native
critic, will be discouraged and driven down

nickel"
OF course no system of knocking down"
such as this was ever tolerated by the Pitts
