PERSONAL POINTS.

James Payn wrote the other day:
ave do not have to search the scrip
lures to know that in the midst OF life
We are in DEATH" Itwould certainly be
q waste OF time, as the statement Is not
in the Bible, but is to BIO found in the
burial service. This, however, is not
so amusing as the answer to the woman
who wrote to the LadieP Home Journal
asking the meaning OF Kismet, and was
told that it means "The Lord watch be-

Tho Servant Girl supply.

A writer estimates that there are in
this country, principally in the southern
states, a million colored women who
want something to do, Some OF these
are fairly educated so far as book learn
ing goes, and if they cannot got posi-
tons to teach they must for the most
part remain in idleness, beset by the
temptations which lie in the path OF
poor and idle white women.
These colored women are not trained
house servants, but they are at least as
easy to train as the mass of white i'm
migrants. White women who must
earn their living show decided prefer
ence for factory work or almost any.
thing else than housework, 1t becomes
increasingly difficult to get and to keep
good white domestics,
Perhaps these Colored women OF the
south will have to BIO called on to solve
the problem OF household service. In
view OF the restriction Of immigration
the time may DO very near at hand
when there will be decided movement
on this line, Good homes good wages
cannot be thought hard fate for black
women or white,

The election bill offered in the state
senate by Mr.. Watts may or may not
embody tho idea of the Democratic eau
Gus. However this may be it is an un-
fair measure capable OF producing UNI
fair results. 1t takes from the people
Of the several counties tho control OF
their elections and hands that control
over to the state board OF public works.
Not later than the first day OF March,
lS04-in ample time for the next cleo
tion-the governor shall call meeting
OF the board Of public works, at which
meeting shall DO appointed for each
county three persons to constitute n
board of election commissioners to hold
Office for two years, and every TWO years
thereafter the same thing is to be done.
The executive committee, or the
chairman OF the executive committee,
OF the party which at the last preced-
fng election cast in the county the
highest number Of votes, is to nomi-
nate one commissioner. The party
polling the next highest number OF
votes is to nominate tho second COM
missioner The third, to be OF the ma
jority party in the county, is to be Sc
lected by the board of public works.
This is the colored gentle man in the
wood-pile, Ii the appointment is to be
made for Republican county the
board OF public works can select such
person calling himself Republican as
shall best suit the purpose in view. II
the board, for partisan reasons, prefers
the most ignorant or the least loyal
Republican in the county it has under
this bill the right to name him.
Is this the intent OF the measure?
What is the intent OF the measure?
Why take the control from the people
OF the respective counties and give it to
tho board OF public works? Is that
board moro competent to judge for the
people OF tho counties than the people
of the counties are to judge for them
selves?
1t looks as though there are Demo-
cratic politicians in West Virginia eager
to cast an anchor to windward by way
OF providing against day when it may
be necessary to juggle the returns and
knock the people out in one short round.

There are probably Jew West Virgin

markets, to increase values, to raise
West Virginia at least TO the level of

A Warming From Paris.

From Paris, which is in Texas: at is
not unlikely that some act OF violence
WILL be done yet. Some indiscreet map
in his cups may make some remarks
rejecting upon tho people here, and ii
he does he will be dealt with very
roughly. The people here stand by
what was done, and will allow no man
to challenge their good name"
No indiscreet person should visit
Paris, Texas. No person should under
any circumstances get in his cups, GER.
tainly not in Paris, Texas, for he will be
dealt with very roughly. Everybody
knows how roughly Paris, Texas, can
deal with person. Moreover, the peo-
pie there stand by what they have
done, the frightful torture OF a human
being.
Paris, Texas, prefers to be "a thing
apart" 1t cares nothing for the opin-
ion of the rest Of the world and wants
no outsiders to intrude. So far as heard
from no frank outsider" is eager to fill
Paris, Texas, grave.

That such an equipment would greatly

cast against it by senators who are said
to be more or less interested financially
in railroads. Why?

1t is often boosted that this is a
Christian nation. So, indeed, it is. II
is a Christian nation in the sense that
its civilization is not Mohammadan nor
Buddhist. II belongs to the Christian
era. II is so influenced by the spirit OF
Christianity in its best sense that it
would refuse to take the sword in relig-
ious quarrel, for it holds as not only q
Christian duty but also sound maxim
that brethren should dwell together in

Pile. This is the jim Grow idea brought
little further north.
If the colored man is Objectionable
because he does not behave himself,
provide cars for well behaved people
and other cars for persons who do not
conduct themselves well. We would
then have rowdy colored men and rowdy
white men in the same car, and colored
men and women who know how to con-
duct themselves would be in the COM

to their presence.
