RALEIGH, n. c., March tt.-New
reaches here that great excitement pr
walls at James City, a negro village o
several thousand inha bitants. near
New Berne, in Craven county, growing
out of an attempt by the owner of land
to have the negroes evicted Bloodshed
is expected 1t seems that in 1868 a
man calling himself Gen. James" ana
purporting to be n federal general. re-
moved a number of negro families from
near New Berne to the point. now
James City. which is across Trent river
from New Bcrne. James told them the
land belonged to the government.
They put up rude cabins and
made themselves thoroughly at home,
believing the land had been given them
by the United States government.
Other negroes soon entered the place,
and before many days had passed quite
u large settlement had gathered. The
truth is. however, that James was 10
general. and that he had no authority
to give the land away. Peace reigned
and the negroes became content with
their new homes. They named the vii
lage after their benefactOr, James City.
They drew up a system of government,
elected aldermen and policemen, and
the popu lation increased rapidly. 1t is
reported that the widest excitement
prevails over the attempt to evict them.
and that the negroes threaten to attack
the city of New Berne.

snatching from ruin and despair those
who had at all times the sympathy of the
Master, no matter how lowly and appa-
rently helpless and fallen.
TO this end the seminary has estab-
lished student colonies in the heart of
darkest Chicago, where the young theo-
logians are to live and engage in the
practical work of learning to meet poor
humanity on its level and aid it to look
up higher and cast off burdens and put
away sin and temptation. A very large
sum of money has been contributed by
wealthy people to insure the thorough
test of the new departure.
1t seems that the church is beginning
to realize that it has been too narrow in
its methods of training it's ministers; that
it is beginning to understand that the
man is best fitted to reach down and lift
the lowly who has practical experience
among such, and who has by object les
sons been a student of temptation. In
short, the idea is that the ministerial stu
dent, to be rightly trained, must have the
same opportunity under guidance that
the medical student has in the hospital,
the clinic, and in observing the work of
lis preceptor. That it is commendable
no one will deny.
That it will tend to broaden churches,
and bring them closer to the people, is self
evident. That it is making one of true re-
ligion and philanthropy is unmistakable.
Whether the Salvation Army has not by
its methods had good deal to do with
this change in training religious workers
is scarcely a question. 1t is at least con-
fession that theories. and doctrines and
dogmas are not enough in religious train
ing, and that there is something more
needed, and that of practical character.

AS THE DAY of the city election draws
near we with, with still greater empha-
sis, to impress upon the voters of Sacra
mento the necessity of electing TO the
new Board of Trustees absolutely free
men; men not subservient to any selfish
interest, or in the leading strings of any
political crew. Six men in the board will
become a governing power in the city.
See to it that they are men who do not
need to be reached through lieutenants
and political brokers, but who are first
for the city and it's economies, second for
progress and all reasonable energy, and
lastly, always lastly, for self, and even
then, for self conditioned by honesty of

THE Riverside Enterprise says "the
proposition that the northern citrus belt
shall challenge the south to a competitive
exhibition draws from the Los Angeles
Times the remark that our growers ought
to be careful about shipping any Of their
best fruit to San Francisco until the fair
opens.'" This is cool, remarkably so.
When the Midwinter Fair opens in San
Francisco in January there will not be a
ripe orange or lemon in all southern
boom-Iand, while the north will over
flow with ripe citrus fruits. There will
be no fruit of any kind then from San
Diego's sandy shores to San Bernardino
cockleburr roads, and not thing that
these brethren who speak so lovingly of
us can ship, barring examples Of hard
cheek and unblushing effrOntery. Ifthis
amusing bit of impudence on the part of
the Times will serve, however, TO spur
our Northern and Central California peo-
pie to activity in making an exhibit un-
der that title we shall have reason to
thank our contemporary for its brass.

A BRoApER CHURCH.

An Illinois Theological Seminary has
made a departure that is as radical as it
is right. In preparing young men for the
ministry it proposes to take them out of
the classroom and bring them into such
contact with the world of misery and woe
and crime that they will be able to realize
inst what true sympathy for human
beings is.
It is the idea that the man who is to
comfort others, minister to spiritual
wants and to lift up and encourage weak
humanity shall know how to do it by
reason of object lessons. So when the
student takes his decree he will have had
practical experience in the lessons OF
charity and helpfulness that true religion
breaches.
For this purpose new chair has been

THERE is no truth in the story that the
United States has concluded a treaty with
Brazil that makes this country her ally
as against any attempt to re-establish the
empire. Secretary Gresham gives the
rumor emphatic denial. Yet it is undoubt
ediy true that if the republic of Brazil
should report itself as in imminent peril
Of being overthrown with the re-estab
lshment Of the monarchy as result, our
own Government would interpose its pro-
test against the monarch being enthroned.
That this republic would be party to
such protest by the republics of South
America, and that those Independent
States would enter such protest, can be
taken as a certainty. Moreover, it is not
at ali unlikely that should such q protest
be unheeded, and the free States of the
southern continent resist the establish
ment of a monarchy, the United States
would give moral. if not material, sup
port to such activity. Certainly that
would be the desire of the people of this
country in their present frame of mind.

THE PURITY OF ELECTIONS Law.


We present in another part of this
paper very exhaustive synopsis of the
Purity of Elections law, passed by the
last Legislature. 1t will repay every
citizen to examine the provisions which
we have thus presented.
No more explicit and stringent Act has
ever been placed upon the statute books.
and none relatingto the elective franchise
that is directed to better ends.
1t is a law that proceeds upon the
theory that all bribery, all undue solicita-
ton of voters, all extravaganza ofexpend-
iture, any manner of threat or intimida-
ton, all meddling with the ballots, all
interference with voters in approaching
the polls, all betting, treating, colonizing,
offering rewards, promising position and
offices for votes are inimical to the form
OF government under which we live, and
therefore should be prevented, so far as
any law can conserve that end.
The Act is the first on the Pacific Coast
to compel disclosure of election ex-
penses, and to limit the sum of money
candidate may expend in promoting his
candidacy. or that may be expended IN
his behalf 1t makes it imperative to file
detailed accounts of such expenditure,
and for false representation in this re-
spect it visits upon the offender the
severest punishments, some of them going
to the disgracing of the convicted in
penal institution, and depriving him of
his prerogative as voter.
In the main the matters treated in the
law are such as experience has developed
are the subjects and causes of corruption
in public Office. and those which give to
bosses the most of their power. 1t is the
result of the unblushing effrontery with
which in the past the unconscionable
have traded in votes, manipulated ballot
boxes, dominated conventions and prim-
aries, and at the polls have obstructed
voters in the exercise of their rights.
No man is made better by Act of Parlia-
ment. Legislation will not of itself cure
evils. Laws are powerless against vice
and crime, unless they are fortified by the
sentiment of the people, and are enforced
with degree of severity and with per-
feet impartiality.
This new election law, which from be-
ginning to end provides only for fair
play, honesty of procedure and the free,
uninterrupted right of the voter, and
against corruption and chicane in choos-
ing officers. will amount to nothing un-
less there is determination on the part of
the people that it shall be enforced.
Just so far as an Act can provide ma
chinery for its enforcement, this new
election law has done so. 1t remains now
with the people to say whether they will
insist upon it being made effective. To
that end every man who has knowledge
of any infringement of the provision of
the Act ought to make it known, no mat
ter where the blow may fall. 1t is bet
ter that the best among candidates suffer,
and that even an election should default
than that the law should be ignored.

MANY a murdered man would have
been spared to die natural death after
fair lease of life, had the insane villain
who was guilty of his taking off been ar
rested when he first gave evidence of his
mania. Mayor Carter Harrison would
to-day be alive had the officers of Chi
cago, who knew that Prendergast was
crazy, done their duty. 1t appears that
some weeks ago the fellow entered the
office of the Corporation Counsel and
stated that he was to be appointed to take
charge of the Department of Justice. He
was so persistent in his claim that he had
to be evicted from the Office by force.
Why was he not then detained and turned
over TO the police on a charge Of insanity?
So, too, it was known to the attaches of
the Mayors office that the rascal was
annoying Mr.. Harrison about some sort
of appointment impossible for him to
make. These attaches certainly knew
the fellow was a crank, and they ought to
have procured his arrest. Every insane
person who invades public Offices with
claims Of preposterous character should
be detained. That practice will tend to
prevent the preparation of many
foul deed.
