SOLID SENSE.

Mr.. Booker L. Washington, an educated
man, recently addressed an aristocratic
congregation in Providence on the social
and political status of the negro in the
South. In the course of his speech, after
admitting that the race is in the position of
very sick person, Mr.. Washington said:
1t is true that there is almost an entire alb
sence OF prejudice against the colored man in
business IN the South. If he understands his
business he can 90 into almost any community
IN the South and receive about as much patron
age from the whites as he can from the colored.
In proportion as the cOlored people get hold OF
anything that the white people want or respect
then the race difficulty is goug to pass away
There Is eolored man In the city of MOntg0m-
cry who owns corner drugstore and keeps two
colOred drug clerks; vet he receives all the re-
spect from every class which it is possible for
any man to command. 1t is ridiculous to expect
any solution Of The negro problem in politics. as
political rights are OF no use to man head over
heels 10 debt. Let the cOlored man get a mort
gage on the white mans house that he can FORE
close (and many OF them are getting to that point
now, aud the white man is not going to turn him
out OF the first-cass cars or stop him from going
10 the polls.
There is good deal of sense in this view
OF the race problem. Prejudice will disap-
pear as the race improves its condition. a
creditor may be inferior In many respects
to debtor. but the fact that he is the
creditor and the other the debtor gives him
a certain advantage If the Southern
whites are as free from prejudice as Mr..
Washington represents them to be,
and if the negro is making the progress re-
ported, the much dreaded race problem is
in fair way to be solved

A MARRIED womAN.s NAME.


correspondent asks if it is Just and
right for woman when she marries to take
her husbands full name, both family and
Christian. For example. when Maria
Jones marrles John Smith should she be-
come to the world Mrs. John Smith? The
law only requires woman TO take her hus
bands family name. She may retain her
own maiden name in full as her Christian
name. In other words she may become
Mrs. Maria Jones' Smith, Mrs. Maria Smith
OF Mrs. John Smith. When she has to sign
legal document she must attach her own
Christian name to her husbands family
name. Women of note often retain their
maiden name in full. Julia Ward became
Julia Ward-Howe by marriage, and Julia
Ward-Howe's daughter Maud becomes by
marriage Maud Howe Elliott. thus prefer
ing her fathers family name to her hus-
bands. The custom of retaining the wife's
family name as a middle name or a COM
pound with the husbands family name is
growing in the older parts of the country.

SUBSIDIES AND MoNoPoL1Es.


An Eastern paper which favors free ships
says there can be no subsidy without
monopoly. When the example of the
English Government in substituting certain
steamship lines is referred to as an instance
in which that Government resorts 10 pro-
lection to secure an Industry, the reilly is
made that the bulk of the English ocean
carrying trade is done in steamers that are
not subsidized. But when it is proposed to
subsidize American lines of steamships, we
are then assured that subsidized steamers
would monopoliza the carryin trade. The
real purpose of subsidy is to aid in esta6-
fishing lines of steamships TO the end that
seif-supporting lines may follow after the
pioneer line has developed trade. More
than 90 per cent of the English ocean carry
ing trade is done by vessels which received
no aid from Government, but the subsidized
lines sustained the burden of opening trade
between England and the country with
which regular steam connection was es-
tablished

BEHIND THE TINES.

Ex-Seeretary Of the Treasury Fairchild
has recently given expression to some pc
culiar notions respecting silver. Fairchild
has what he calls a plan which stops silver
coinage when the amount in the Treasury
not covered by certificates exceeds $780,
OOO His plan is based on the acceptance of
the idea that Silver is subsidiary money in
America. There is slight difference of
opinion in this respect between MIR. Fair
child and Congress. The last action taken
by Congress on the silver question was to
declare the 12h-grain silver dollar full
legal tender. Every bond of the United
States and every corporation or other bond
on which payment in gold is not expressly
stipulated is payable in silver. The public
demand that silver be recognized as money
is much stronger than it was when the law
was passed. And yet Mr.. Fairchild has the
hardihood to state as demonstrated fact
that silver in America is subsidiary money.
In all of America, except Canada and the
United States, silver is the unit of value.

OUT OF POLITICS.

The announcement has been frequently
made in a semi-official way that the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company would take
no further part in politics. These announce
Inents were in part the expression of de-
sire and in part of a purpose. That they
have not been carried out is due both to
politicians and to some of the officers of the
company. The influence of the company,
with its army of employees, its large distri-
button of money and its control of certain
lines Of business, was eagerly sought by pO-
lit cal managers. n 10 man in recent years
has shaped his political course except with
his eye upon the Southern Pacific Company.
If not for the company, and consequently
expecting to profit by the influence of the
company, he has been against it with no
less expectation of prohting by his antago-
nism to it. Political bosses have been an
incubus upon the company. 1t is from the
patronage and favorS that they wrung out of
the company that these bosses set them
selves up in business. The strongest of
them have had little strength of their own.
They were strong only so long as the public
believed that the railroad was behind them.
The personal relations between the late Pres
ident and the company and the leading poll
tieians OF the State we're such that the re-
tirement of the company from politics had
become extremely difficult The new Pres
ident will be free from these entanglng al
Hanees. He need know only such subordi-
mates as do work for the company. He will
be under no obligation to take care OF Buck
ley's lambs for a season or to supply Buck
ley with railroad passes for himself and
friends. He is in a position to bring the
management of the company down to bust
ness principles. With less dead weight to
carry the company will be able to do better
service for the people at large. The indi-
viduals who are hurt by the retirement Of
the Southern Pacific from politics have no
especial claims upon the sympathies of the
people. AS rule they have served them
selves a good deal while serving the COM

A VOICE FROM OREGON.

The Portland Oregoni0n has become
weary of the Chinese question. 1t thinks
that the Chinese Enumeration Bill may as
we'll pass, although it is little ridiculous,
as all our Chinese legislation has been
ridiculous, and this bill will do no particu-
lar harm. Our eccentric Oregon contempo-
rary continues:
The Chinese question is no longer of real In
terest TO anybody. The exclusion of laborers is
effective for all practical purposes. The Chi
nese VINO are here are no longer in anybody 8
way. They have learned to demand as much
for their labor as anybody aud the laborer has
no grievance against them.
This ridiculous Chinese legislation ap-
pears after all to have done some good
The exclusion of Chinese laborers is de-
clared effective for all practical purposes.
When the first Chinese restriction law went
into effect the Chinese were coming at the
rate of two or three thousand week. The
regular steamship lines came loaded down
with them. and tramp steamers came into
port every two or three days each with a
thousand or more on board. At the rate
they were coming it would not have taken
many years to convert California into a
Chinese colony. But the legislation which
is pronounced ridiculous has stopped the
flow, except as to a few stragglers.

HIDES AND WOOL.

The argument is advanced that there is
no reason why hides should be admitted
free and wool made subject 10 an import
duty. Ii there were no other reason there
is the reason that requires Lawmakers to
recognize as far as practical the effect of
former laws Hides were placed on the free
list in 1872. The boot and shoe industry
has developed on that basis. Prices have
been adjusted to that condition. A large
export trade has resulted which would be
crippled by change of policy. Unless
therefore there is some sufficient reason
given why hides should be taken from the
free list the reason of existing conditions
requires that they remain. Wool, on the
contrary, has for many years been subject

really faster in their progress through the
streets; next, for the reason that they are
more agreeable method of conveyance than
the rafting system which electricity has in

pointed in the hope that the electric-cars
would succeed both cable and horse cars.
Having tried the electrician they want to

EDIfOKIAL NOTES.

The nations lawmakers have under con-
sideration a proposition to construct a
canal around Niagara Falls to accommodate
American lake shipping and war vessels in
case of an emergency According to The
plans under consideration it will cost S23,-
100000 and will have a depth of twenty
and half feet. The necessity of such
canal, it is argued, is made apparent by
Canadian discrimination against vessels of
the United States passing through the
Welland Canal.
The House has decided the contest for
the seat of the Third District of Virginia
in favor of Edmund Waddill Jr., the Re-
publican contestant, thereby ousting George
d. Wise, who has served three full terms in
Congress. Wise made an imprisoned APP
peal to the House. butt proved unavailing.
A gigantic task has been mapped out by
Representative Lind for the Interstate Com
merce Commission to ascertain the actual
cost Of construction per mile OF each rail-
road in the United States over which inter-
state commerce is carried, and tie amount
of municipal, State or national aid devoted
to the construction of the same.
