President Diaz Of Mexico speaking OF the
flibustering movement in Lower California,
said that he placed little Importance in the
movement. He knew that the United States
government would not allow neutrality to be
violated and the Mexican government would
protect her territory. 1t had sufficient forces
in Lower California to repel any invaders.

doesnot embrace 10y any means) all the good
men, nor all the avocations whose interests
need protection and wise legislation. We
should demand, but only demand, our just
share in the representative halls of County,
State and nation. We should support men
who will frame and administer the best laws
for the general good, and not expect OF de.
sire our own elevation to the injury of honest
men in any honest calling. II we have bet

SYMPATHY.

Sympathy Tor sun and pathos, feeling
with IL u noble attribute. Who ofus could
bear life i;iars and sufferings if it were not
for the sympathy of friends and loved ones.
We have right to cast of part of the load
on our friends when our sorrows are great
To receive the Lad is charity. Life, creation,
our very existenos means work, and suffer-
ing. We ought to work there is no lasting
sunshine without it. We all must also suffer-
There is no depth of virtue without 1t. These
two essential elements of victorious life
continually demand sympathy, backed by
charity. But for human being to work
hopelessly without sympathy, was never or
dained of bene6cent Creator. Surely God
himsek never worked in that frame of mind.
When you or l, my brother, my sister, find a
fellow creature attempting to work on that
plane, then our christian charity, which is
only sympathy intensified, should come in
to give him lift. And the end of that SYM
pathy is not reached when the sufferer is able
to simply support himself, that none be burd-
ened further with him but not until he can
see daylight enough to work chcerfully and
when life again becomes bearable, and where
the man ceases to suffer more than to enjoy.
Poverty, sorrow and discipline, will never
cease their ministry on earth. But where
God-given and God-used sympathy has her
perfect work, there can be made in every
life more sunshine than rain. This is rea-
sonab!e goal. Though time is the probation
for eternity; yet it may be more glad than
sad while it lasts. The very essence Of
christian charity is a lone work and love for
workers. Then to be happy, dear reader, let
us see that all are working chcerfully.

rhs howard School. n - -

The total number of pupils enrolled this
term is two hundred and niuety, and would
have been more, if accommodation could
have been secured. AS it was, we were
literally packed, like sardines in q box.
Our building is sadly in need of repairs,
but the Town Council has kindly agreed to
repair it for us, and work will begin at an
early date, as part of the material is already
on the ground.
We hope it will be repaired with view to
the health and comfort Of the pupils, as both
these essentials were overlooked in its con-
struct'on.
We are under many obligations 10 the
Council and Trustees for the kindly interest
they have taken in our school, and we will
prove that the cducatirn Of the negro is not
simply an experiment.
If all the colored schools have made as
much improvement as ours, in the past two
terms, we need not care n straw whether the
Blair Bill becomes n law or not, aud yet
we have not attained the best results, for we
have entirely too many pupils for successful
work, there being only two teachers.

FINISHED Vs. UNFINISHED.

The little prefix, .'un," Joined to the word
finished means great deal, and makes q
vast amount Of difference to the farmer in
the resources Of his farm.
The finished products Of our farms, which
are ready for the consumer or user, when
they leave the farm, bring good margin Of
profit between tho producer aud consumer.
The unfinished products of our farms are
low down In price to the producer, but not
to the consumer. And right here is the
main cause Of the prevailing agricultural
! depression. We place upon the market too
much Of our products in an unfinished state
The majority Of our farmers depend, almost
entirely, on our cotton crops to buy our
money with, and the principal part of that
money Is used TO buy articles that might
have been grown and finished on our farms
or among ourselves. Did you, my bro
ther, ever think what vast amount of pro-
fts are made on the manufacture Of your
cottonf After you spend almost Is months
in a year, in tho production Of your cotton,
you will take bale weighing 500 lbs to
market and perhaps may get 10 cents, which
is $50 for the bale, and tho manufacturers
In q Js~ hours will offer you the same cotton,
manufactured into the cheapest cloth, for not
less than $500, which is 400 Per cent profit.
In quotations Of the market In u western
city We find oats at Is cents per buseei, oat-
meal cents per pound, making 2lbs. Of
oatmeal buy 82lbs. Of oats. Wheat at 80
cents bushel, aud for the best patent -four
We must pay $500 per barrel. You see, we
are selling our unfnished farm products to
combines, trusts and monopoles, to be manu-
factured in their patent machinery by patent
processes, and We are to buy at tho mercy Of
soulless powers. No, my brother. our only
hope Is in ourselves, and the remedy is st
our doors. Put dynamite under the noun
tains Of improvidsuce that hover around
your hoass, and hurl them to atoms, and
you will be surprised how many finished
