He Could stana Mosouitoes

The st. Louis Republic tells a good story OF 9
citizen of st. Louis who was in Florida for his
health Not being strong he had a negro named
Joe who went around with and assisted him
when nee ssary.
There are mosquitoes in Florida, and the ST.
Louisan was complaining one day about their
numbers.

In company with two other gentlemen the St

the mosquitoes swooped down on him with wild
and bloodthirsty songs and began a feast.
Meanwhile one of the gentlemen was holding

A good many samples of cranky legisla-
ton are cropping out nowadays in congress.
Senator Plumb introduced two bills into
the Senate the other day that are entitled
to a place among the curiosities. One of
them authorizes the President to issue call
TO all citizens of the republic over 81 years
of age, inviting them to serve in the grand
army of labor for not less than one day.
No one is to work more than four hours a
day, nor more than five days in week, nor
more than six weeks without rest of two
weeks, and each one is to receive 81 day,
the money to be paid out of the treasury
The other bill directs the President to estab-
lish public farm in each county in every
state in this union, and to operate it at
cost. 1t is hardly probable that Senator
Plumb indorses these bills.

Senator cars Successor.

Who will be Senator Calls successorl
That is question that is being asked in all
parts Of Florida. Mr.. Calls term expires
chose his successor.
Mr.. Call has hesn chosen senator twice
and he is doubtless a candidate for a third
term. He may be his own successor. He
certainly has great many strong friends
in Florids-friends who will not ONLY say
good word for him, but who viii work for
his reelection. He is not an old m IN yet
BY any means He is only Sc. There
is one senator who is more than 50, aad
very active senator he is.
Mr.. Call has good many enemies in
Florida. They are political enemies, not
personal ones. Personally there are few. if
any, more popular men in the state than he,
but personal popularity may not be suf-
ficient to secure him a reelection.
1t is expected that there will be quite
number Of candidates for seoator. aud sew
eral of those who have been spoken of are
men of high character and conspicuous
ability. Their names are well known to the
people, because they have been published
frequently recently.
Mr.. Chipley, of Pensacola, will take the
stump against Mr.. Call tomorrow, and
it is expected that he will command a
great deal of attention in his tour through
the state. He is positive and an aggressive
man, and it is certain that he has his points
well in hand. It is perhaps Mr. Calls pnr-
pose TO have somebody to follow him and
counterfeit, as far as possible.
the effect of what he says. Mr..
Chipley is one of the progressive
men of Florida, and he will undoubtedly
appeal strongly tothe progressive element
Of the people. That he will make an i'm
preston is admitted, but whether it will be
strong enough to win away from Mr.. Call
much of his support is question concerning
which there are two opinions.
That Mr.. Call is a conscientious senator
and attends faithfully to his duties, and
that he has been true to the people of
Florida, will be very generally admitted.
If he is beaten for reelection it will be for
other reasons-reasons that do not reflect
upon his integrity OF his fidelity to his trust.

! McKinlsylsfAwful Blunder.

1om the Baltimore Sun (Deni.).
In reporting his tariff bill TO the House a
month ago Mr.. Mckinley stated that our imports
of agricultural products had increased in the
last forty years froas $40 coo to $3.50 600 O00
This, it was intimated. was shameful increase,
and it was the purpose Of his bill, he said, to
relieve the depression of agriculture" by
checking such iinportations and keeping the
greater part of this vast sum % money at home.
The figures were astounding, and they were
well calculated to impress by their immensely.
The sun, however, on au examination of Off
cial documents for the facts found that $4,000,
Oo9 or i 600 900 was t9e outside figure for the
value of the imported agricultural products
that could be said to compete with American
agricultural products, the rest of the $3.50 900,
900 being made up from coffee, tea, sugar,
ivory, India rubber tropical fruits, hides and
sorts of wool and tobacco that cannot be pro-
duced in this country Mr. McKnley's repre-
sensations were. therefore, calculated to deceive
guileless republican farmers.

Education and the Negro.

Judge j. Fl. White, of Hartford, Conn.,,
recently made an extensive tour of the
south. His trip extended through Virginia,
Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia, Including
stops at the principal cities in those states.
Judge White gave special attention to the
condition of the negro, and from statements
made by him to a reporter Of the Hartford
Times he seems to be an intelligent
observer. Though he does not say so
explicitly. yet he evidently doubts that
the solution Of the negro problem is to be
found in education. The young negroes
those who have grown up since the war
are SO perverse, he thinks, that the efficacy
of the educational remedy is greatly les
sened. All his observations go to show that
1T is the young negroes who cause most of
the trouble, the old ones conducting them
selves properly.
While stopping in Atlanta Judge White
met an intelligent policeman with whom he
conversed on the negro problem. In reply
to question as to the future of the negro,
the policeman said, in effect, that for q
long time he believed the solution of the
problem was to be found in education, but
experience had convinced him that he was
mistaken. The policeman further said,
broadly. that education only made the ne
gro worse. He backed this up by the
startling statement that out of 800 negroes
confined in prison In or near Atlanta 29S
were young negroes who had been to school.
Judge White returned to Hartford very
much impressed with the magnitude of the
problem that confronts the south, and
somewhat inclined to doubt that it could be
solved by the schoolmaster. Judge Whites
observations and conclusions are partly cor
rect 1t is true that the young negroes
cause most of the trouble, and that educa-
ton seems to have improved but little the
morale of the negro race. But it is wrong
to infer therefrom that education neces-
sarily Injuries the negro morally. The
truth probably is that the environments
of the negroes are such as to
produce the state of affairs commented on
by the policeman. A smattering of educa-
ton makes the negro who possesses it an
aristocrat in his own estimation as com
pared with the ignorant negro. 1t is easy
TO see why the smatteringly educated negro,
inflated with sense of his own Importance,
should be a source Of trouble, and how the
vanity which prompts him to make a show
in the world should produce certain lax
ness of morals.
But, after all, the negro question is a
knotty one; and the more it is pulled at the
tighter the kpet becomes. 1t is a pity,
though, that more such clear-headed north
ern men as Judge White do not visit the
south. IL they did the country would hear
less Ignorant can't about the negro.

Farewell, Uncle.

Years ago there lived in town not far from
Portland, says the Portland Araus, a man of
property, education, ability and good habits.
He was elected several times to the legislature
and served with credit to himself and TO his
constituents. In old age misfortune came upon
him. He lost all his property, aud went to live
with his younger brother, because he had
nowhere else to go. But the brothers CHILDREN
would not have the old man in the house, and
ordered the selectme n to remove him. He was
taken to the poor farm. and there he died.
Later on these same children removed their
unce's remains to the village cemetery, and at
tie head OF the grave set up a marble slab. and
placed upon it this inscription: Farewell. dear
Uncle, until we meet in a Better Land
