The Negro Race Issue.

Sf. ISQul- kenuDic.
 In his address in St. Louis John NJ. Langston says that the great majority of the negroes are not criminals and are not to be held responsible for such bestial crimes as rape committed by the minority. This is ihe proper view for him and for anyone else to take of it, but 1t is not view that can obtain ii urgr0cs are to join white Afro American radicals ill forcing race issUc in which the rape of white women k to be defended by all negroes as d race privilege. Rape was thus made a question of negro privilege in Oklahoma tIie other day when hundreds Of negroes assembled ard threatened to burn the city oi Guthrie if revenge were taken on a negro who had raped Il white woman.
 Perhaps the negro leaders do dot fully understand what Il race issue means. IL means that on the one side and the other each member of tlie op- posing races shall be held responsible for crimes committed by any menlber of his race. This is the history of all race issues, including that with our Indians for 200 years. When q drunken white man killed drunken Indian in brawi the Indians of the tribe to which the dead man belonged raitiCd the white settlement. When a party of drunken Indians surprised q wbite settler, killed him and raped his wife and daughters the white people rose en masse and carried carried fire and sword into the Indian villages.
 This is what race issue means.
 Wherever n race issue IS forced 1t must come to this If the solidarity of the races SD that the injury to one or the crime Of one Is the concern of all mem- bers of the race which has either suf- fcred the injury or committed the crime.
 When minority Of negroes commit
 rapeS on white women; when the ma j0rity of tine negroes rally to the de- tense of these because they are negroes, then rape is a race issue, and all Degrues. on an issue 50 forced, become
 responsible fer it. Negro demagogues have been pernlciously active i'll fore ing suCh race issues and in threaten l ing fire and sword, dagger and torch l They have forced an African race issue ! into national politics and 1t Is high time they were making up their minds | what they mean to do, for this issue
 means that every negro shall support every other negro as against white people in every crime committed OH
 white people.
 Neither race can long stand the strain of such an issue. Thus forced ! it will necessarily be settled by violence
 in which on both sides the innocent vii! suffer with the guilty, and the fit. i test will survive.

 Engine SSj, on the Central road of New Jersey, has now been hauling the Royal Blue traui from phiIad-lphi;. to Nrw Y0Ik four monihs, and during that time has been out of service but oHe day. The engine made it's most remarkable run on February 2e, with a lrain of four cars. covering d mile in i9i seconds. which is a rate of 9i ! uliies per hour. When tie run was made the rail w;:s wet. and some other uufayorablc conditions had to be over come, and for this reason Il is thought the engine will run 100 per hour. Mas ter Mechanic Williams, of the Central road of New Jersey, has given the dimensions of this powerful and fast engine to the press. as follows: Diam eter of forward truck wheels. 36 inches; diameter of driving wheels. IS inches; diameter Of high-pressure cylinders, 13 inches; diameter of loN-piessure cylin- ders, 22 inches; stroke of piston. 26 lncl,es; diameter of piston slide valve

This engine, it will
 be seen, is of the compound type, and what it has accomplished has led three of the locomotive works of this country to build engines of q compound type, which, it is thought. will do fast run ming. Three railroad companies are also building engines of the compound type, and their performance will be watched with a good deal of interest.

Will Not Mend the CaSc,

Mr.. Wittig says ''landlords will not
be responsible for tenants water
rents"
And the town will thereby "lose
customers.'
1t seems to the JOURNAL that the
town has as much liberty and power
as the landlords; that it is Just as able
to do without customers as landlords
without tenants.
But where are the towns customers
going?
To the old water company?
If so, that is where the landlords
property is already in for it.
Not since 1876 has the old water
company had any need to ask any boot
as to whether tenants paid water rents
or not.
SO that the customer who leaves the
town system on account of his land
lords reputation of liability for one
of the supplies which make his prop
elty rentable to go to to the old water
company, Jumps out of the frying
pan into the fire.

With this issue the JOURNAL closes
Its twenty-first year.
And has thus attained its majority.
The editor hereof wrote the first line
and set the first type ON the twentieth
day Of September, 1871, and has since
almost unintermittingly presided over
both its editorial aud mechanical de
pal tments.
That all this was done for the most
part under the stress of financial and
physical effort is fully confessed.
SO that it may account for hun
dreds of shortcomings not otherwise
explicable.
What the JOURNAL has accomplish
ed meanwhile it were probably better
to leave to other authorities.
But Of two things it is sure

and far more widely and reputably
known than if the JOURNAL had not
been here, and

Clean Up Anyhow.

Those who are little inclined to be

General Hamilton says:
Sanitary science has made such strides in
the past few years that the chances are about
one in ten thousand that there will not even
be Il scmblance of an epidemic in America
Notwithstanding this sanguine pros

pared for emergencies.
Cleaning up is a good thing under
any contingency and in any event,
while filth is a standing invitation to
all low diseases to come in and "possess
the land"
The Board Of Health is, therefore,

Put the Blame Where il Belongs

Let those people who strangely de-
preciate the efficiency of the new water
works imagine, if they can, the con-
dition of this town, during the recent
extraordinary drought had the new
plant never been laid.
1t is frightful to contemplate-eyen
as a possibility.
For if the new works failed in sup
plying two-thirds of the town, what
would have been the result with pro-
vision barely equal to the wants of
one third ?
However, such people put them
selves in the light of desiring to do in
justice to their own property.
Otherwise, they would blame not
the new works, but the inetficiency of
the operations of Nature, Or the for
getfnlness of Providence in failing to
make His usual merciful PROVISION for
stiff -necked and ungrateful gen

That Offer.

1t is understood sub rosa that the old
wafer company has offered the town
all it has in the way of a system of
water supply for the gorgeous sum of
$l2. 800.
Which is $l2 900 more than sim.
liar plant, including pumps, sold for
in Carrollton, Mo-, last week.
In making this offer the old water
company thought, doubtless, that it is
just AS appropriate to be slaughtered
for sheep as lamb.
But how Council is to buy $l2.500
plant out of an $4,000 pile is a problem
which will strain the Water Com
mittee's financial intellect to its high
est depths.

"learned SINCE" that but for the

Had he not answered the call, he

Concerning which in the next
pricate confab he may be told all.

should have been read in Council.

people who do not want the old works
at any price or on any terms, the JOUR-
NAL regrets that the Water Committee
is loaded with the sole responsibility
of disposing Of so serious matter.
For the proposition is one undoubt-
eddy that should be debated before the
people-not behind their backs.
