and on il is fnll description of the ma
terial and methods used in construction
of such a wall.
There is no Juggling with samples Of
that kind An owner can select what
he wants, and the architect can desig-
nate it by number When the work is
done 1t is easy TO see whether the plan
has been followed by the builder.
In the basement Of the Philadelphia
exchange building is the trade school.
and the builders will have a chance to
compare il with that under Colonel
Auchmuty's charge in New York. The
importance of establishing such schools
Is strongly set forth in the declare
ton of principles" of the National As
sociation. The association urges the
establishment of manual training as
part of the public school course, but il
that were done there would still remain
the need of the special night schools
under the direction of the various local
trades organizations for the benefit and
improvement of apprentices. Colonel
Auchmuty's school teaches brick lay
ing. plastering, plumbing, carpentry,
various kinds Of painting, and black
smiths work. Doubles there WY
be addresses and delete upon the
trade school question in the coming con-
vention.
But the most interesting of all the
subjects to be considered is arbitra-
ton. This matter has been, for the
past year, under consideration by the
following committee: J. Milton Blair,
Cincinnati; Anthony Ittner, st. Lonis;
George C. PrusAng, Chicago; Marc
Eidletz, New York, and David A.
Woelpper, Philadelphia. A report has
been prepared for the convention, and,
whatever may be its nature, there is no
doubt that it will be warmly debated.
The subject is intricate. In the first
place the association recognizes and en-
couragcs the formation by worlxmen of
trades unions with central body. J..
also claims similar right of organiza-

COL. r. DOMAIN on MARRIAGE.

Fargo Argus. ~
A Minneapolis correspondent
closes business letter to an Argus
acquaintance with the hackneyed
| inlerrugatory as marriage fail
ure ?' No, a thousand times, no!
The question originated with
| cheap female sensation n-inOnger-
one OF the blackguard she serb
blers, who have brought shame on
feminine authorship everywhere.
! No sane aud decent man or woman
can ask it seriously.
God Almighty established it, and
! decreed that il should endure AMI
be blessed ill the end of time. IL
cannot be failure unless God and
Nature fail. There will be, must
be. occasional failures in every
thing earthly or human. There are
| failures in The plan ol salvation.
and now and then even lnihe Da-
kola wheat crop; but these excep-
tlonal cases only prove the truth
OF the great rule OF success.
Without marriage the human
race would disappear lro..I he face
Of the earth. II American poll
ticians, average Western Senators
and cane-sucking dudes of the
Four Hundred breed are fair spec
linens OF The race, lis disappear
ance would be 10 great loss. But,
heaven be praised, they are not
worthy samples. There are editors
and honest farmers like Kansas
Potato Planter ingalls,, and good
looking girls, whose perpetualion
is TO be desired, aud marriage Is
the only legitimate perpeluator.
More than this, without marriage.
there would be, and could be, no
such thing as home and family.
All tender memories that cluster
around the home and tireslde
would vanish forever. All the
sweet and sacred lies and associa-
l;ona Of husband and wife, father
and mother, son and daughter, sis
ter aud brother, would be wiped
out. Society would lapse into bar
barlsm and sayagery. Civilization
would end, aud Christianity would
be impossible.
For six thousand years all the
noblest and holiest and tenderest
relations of The family, .the home,
the church and the natioa have
been based upon or have sprung
from INSTITUTED and love-con-
secrated marriage. Jehovah him
self, amid the amaranthihe bower
of sinless Eden, performed the
first marriage ceremony, and
stitched of paradisean foliage The
| first wedding robe. lie blessed it
then as sthe most solemn and sacred
of earthly rites and unions. What
he instituted and blessed. and pro-
nounced perpetual as time and hu-
mainly, can never fail.
Seat! Get out with your fool
conundrums Marriage Is a fail
ure only in the case of old maids
and old bacbelors-and an occa-
sional human misfl, at which the
courts of Chicago and Dakota
wink with a leniency that is akin
to crime.

The Negro.
Aberdeen Weekly.

Aberdeen Weekly.
Our sympathieS are always with
the under dog IN the fight. In
this sentiment it gives The Weekly
pleasure to gather from the
Omaha Bee some statistics that re-
fleet credit upon the negro race i'll
America. The Bee gives the in
formation that in the year 1865
there was but two negro attorneys,
three negro physicians, two edI-
tors aud $4,000 worth of taxable
property among all the negroes in
the United States. There were no
colleges, no high schools, no banks
and no church property. 1t is
tweniy.six years, seven years less
than a generation, since 1865, but
to-day the negroes OF this country
pay taxes on s264, 100000 worth of
personal and real property. There
are 749 physicians, ard 654 of
these are college graduates. They
have seven colleges, seventeen
academies and furly-nine high
schools, all under charge of negro
teachers. Three of the seven col
lsge presidents were slaves. There
are 995 college-bred negro minis
ters and PAT negro men and wo-
men in European capitals study
ing foreign languages TO return
here as teachers. A bank in Rich
mond, Va. with 100000 capital,
/ is owed and conducted by black
men, aud they are loaning money
/ to their former masters. OF course
a great deal of this is due 10 the
help of the white people of the
South. Yet. it nevertheless speaks
irumpet-iongued for the race, for
its eagerness 10 rise ont of unto
ward conditions and elevate itself
10 the common plane OF cIviliza-
