UNCLE SANS METHODS.

Or MI the places Of public interest
at the National Capital Uncle Sans
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing is
the most attractive to strangers, who
come from far and wide to see how
the Government makes money. After
seeing how easy it is TO strike off few
million dollars it may not be clear to
some rural mind why money should
be SO scarce UP in his part OF the
country. 1t looks to the casual Oh
s"rver as il there we're nothing to pre-
vent any one abo 1T the place from
pocketing 100000 or S3OO0,OOO to
take home with him after his days
work, or from taking an impression
from one of the. plates and printing
at his own home money enough to
meet his daily demands. With all the
thousands of plates from which
money is printed there, access to
which would enable man to all but
bankrupt the Government and 20 tax
its credit to the very extremes; with
MI the possibilities for theft that
access to such place seems to open;
one Of the freest of Government
buildings TO the public visitors enter
without being challenged and are
shown through without the conscious
ness Of heing watched. A polite guide
shows them to the door when they
leave, and they go their way rejoicing
without knowing that they have been
for time prisoners Of state. All the
employees are prisoners during the
day, having no freedom to leave the
building until they have rendered n
full account of all that has been
placed in their keeping by tire superior.
p The closing scene at The end Of the
day in this great money factory is
interesting. In the morning each
man and each woman has been given
tho proper assignment Of work. Each
empIoye on taking the material for
work, whether it is paper or plates,
gives Il receipt for it to the custodian.
At the end Of tho day each must re-
turn in one form or another all that
his receipts show him to have had
during the day, and until he has Il
check showing that this has been
done he cannot leave the room. When
oil has been returned, the custodian
puts it all in the vault. Then the
keeper Ct the inner door OF the vault
must pull that door to without MS
much as putting his foot inside tho
vault, and, while the rest stand apart
from him so as not to see the comb
nation, must lock it securely. Tho
custodian Of the vault then locks the
outer door, which is provided with n
time lock, 80 that, being once fastened
it cannot be opened before the next
day ut the hour set. This being done
the custodian and his assistants are
froe to go after the kny has been put
in the board ut the main floor. Then
all the plates which have been in use
and all those which are in process Of
engraving and rolls and parts of
plates have to be returned to tho Gus
todian OF the plate vault. If ono of
these plates should be missing not Il
soul woul be permitted to leave the
building until it was found. 1t is
almost impossible for anything to 90
astray, as nothing changes. hands,
oven Tor moment, without the
change being made Of record.-[Va.

AFRICA AND BISHOP TURNER.

AFRICA AND BISHOP TURNER.
The Bishop is thoroughly interested
in the Dark Continent and will cross
the water perhaps by October |, for
that country, where he expects to Join
other missionaries in doing work
for humanity and the kingdom coming.
The bishop has been trying to work
up an exodus of African lineage to
start from America to that continent
for the past several years, but so far
his elOquence in that direction has
proved turtle. We admire the spirit
that moves the bishop. We trust the
day will come in the early future
when thousands of other native Amer
leans shall be moved by like spirit.
This is the spirit which should take
the Negro to Africa if he would do
any good after his arrival, The bish-
OPP requests that if any church or in
dividual wishes to aid the missionary
work in Africa they send what money
they have christian inclination to
give to Rev. B. F. Lee, 631 Pine ST.,
Phila. Pa, that that gentleman may
hand it to the bishop on starting on
his great mission.

FRENCH BACHELORS TAxEn

Ii has been proposed a number Of
times in the French chamber of de-
puties TO tax the families in the repub-
lie according 70 the number Of child
rem in the family. Fathers who have
seven would be exempt entirely from
tax; the father Of six children one
seventh; the father of five children
tWo-seventh; the father Of four child
rem three-sevenths and so on. TO
make up for this deficiency a tax
would be levied on bachelors as they
advance in age thus turning their at
tentlon more and more TO matrimony,
as the years 60 BY. This is suggested
as an Offset to the slow yet steady
decrease in the French population,

They will in all liability construe
the delay as withholding from them

number of eminent men spoken of for
the place, who would honorably and
creditably fill the office and we believe
the president owes it not only to the
race, but to the country to quickly APP
point a successor to Mr.. Douglass in case
he resigns. The representation accorded
to the Afro-Americans by this admins
tratlon is not SO fattering that an i'm
portant mission like this can be left
open and not create comment adversely.

has not been one marked by brilliancv.

pointed, one who is young, vigorous

to organizing a national league, there
would have been a foundation upon
which the national league could have
rested, and then in turn the state
leagues could have turned to the ma
tional for protection.
There should have been state leagues
and then q national and their interests
should have been reciprocal, their aim
the same. The meeting at Knoxville
passed resolutions denouncing separate
railroad coaches Now if Tennessee
had well organized and well working
state league there might be some po-
tency in these denunciatory resolutions
but as it is they will effect nothing.
The non-political clause in the con-
stitution was stricken out This is sig
nifcant, and it but further evidences
the political discomfort among Afro
Americans This leaves local leagues
to act as they deem best in political
campaigns This means that the party
which does the most for the Afro-Amer-
lean, as race, gets the support of the
league, and it further establishes the
fact that the Afro-American league is,
from this time hence, political organ
ization. Whether this was the best pol
icy or not, we leave for wiser heads to
decide, but in our opinion it is the be-
ginning of the end of the league.
Perhaps the best thing the league
did was the electing of T. Thomas For
tune to the presidency. No man in the
country labored harder, more zealously
and necessarily for the organization of
this league than Fortune, and if justice
had been done, he would have been made
its first president instead of the second
