The ..FIon. Easily Male

A hrst-clasS newspaper man was spoilt
When Prof. Kennedy Of the Franklin
Grammar School became "A pedagogue"
said Thomas Mayne TO number of friends
az tne Baldwin hotel last night, says the
san francisco Call. Il used TO know Prof
Kennedy in Santa Clara county when for
a time ne edited the Santa Clara Tribune
TOT JOnn sullivan. One of the burning
questions at that time was whether the
county should donate to the Southern Pa
enc company about $4,000 worth of bonds
that had been subscribed for by the county
wrote vigorous article in The Tribune
against the donation 10 the railroad com
pany. Sullivan was under the weather at
the time, but managed to hop around 10
TO the Office and said:
See here, Kennedy, don't want YOU
70 go too far on that, because I have TO
flop. you know
Kennedy replied: 'Oh, that's all right.
tne paper can Mop easily enough when the
time comes
The next week another stirring article
was printed in The Tribune against giving
the bonds to the company.
A DAY or two afterWard Sullivan sent
for his editorial writer and said: It's all
right, Kennedy, give the paper the flOp
factorily.'
The next issue of the paper contained
the following:
g We have been paid our price and there
fore we flop, and have nothing further to
say against giving the bonds to the rail-
road company. We believe that is the best
thing to be done
Kennedy was discharged, and from tina
day to this he has said that Sullivan's
lack of appreciation Of his ability as a
newspaper writer shunted him out of the
journalistic profession"

The Evolution of a statesman.

From the Nebraska State Journal.
James Jinks was born in 81 and when the
babe arrove
The wise old neighbors toddled in and sat
around the stove,
And said they reckoned that the kid would
not be worth blame;
His father was trifiing cuss, his mother
was the same.
They all agreed that links heir was born
to grief and woe,
And then they toddled out again, the men
of Broken Bow,
The baby grew and grew and grew, and
throve and thrOve and throVe
Until at manhood's high estate he grace
fully arrove.
None better knew to whittle sticks or whis
tie Belle Malone"
But If a friend suggested work he'd only
weep and moan.
The wise men shook their hoary heads and
said: II told you So
When Jinks the younger loafed around
the streets of Broken Bow.
He took farm at twenty-one. and sowed
little grain,
And raised the finest crop of weeds that
ever graced the plain;
The burdock and the cockle-burr and lin
son all took ROOT,
The only corn our hero raised was on his
And then he sadly realized that farming
And drifted back to loaf around the streets
of Broken Bow.
And then he bought little sheet and
nodded thought awhile;
The kind of thought he used to mold made
all his readers smile,
And so they called, beseeching him to go
to DR.. Hay
And have his mental part repaired and
soldered right away;
The sheriff took his fountain pen and
closed his moral show,
And once again he loafed and loafed all
over Broken Bow.
He got little country school and as n
teacher taught;
He took little crossroads church and as
preacher praught;
He tinkered for a month or two, repairing
ancient tins,
He opened up barber-shop and butchered
But failure roasted on his flag, wherever
he mig ut go,
And so at last he only loafed and loafed at
Broken Bow.
And as he loafed he talked a streak as
loafers always do;
He said that Wall street kept him poor,
and many others too;
He knew just how the government should
run to do us good:
He so talked and talked away while other
men sawed wood;
and of woe
That people came to think he was a sage
OF Broken Bow.
We follow his career no more; the rest Won
surely know;
The man who failed at everything made
money out of woe:
He helps to run the government and thera
are folks around
Who say his great ambition is to run it in
the ground,
But sttll the wise men shake their heads
and say. Il told you so"
And life, calm and peaceful stream rolls
on at Broken Bow.

Attic End of Her Rope.

1t seems that English women are about
tired of Ida b. Wells, the colored wo-
man, who made such atrocious charges
ago against the southern people on ac-
count of the lynching of negroes in the
south who were guilty of an Infamous
crime. When she first appeared in Eng
gland she attracted a good deal of atten-
ton and made quite a favorable impress
sion. Her statements were so exagger-
ated, however, that a doubt of their
truth gradually took hold of the public
mind. Inquiry developed the fact that
there was only grain of truth in the
charges she made. When she was fully
understood she lost her influence.
According to our London dispatches
yesterday the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union in session in London scored
her for making unjustifable attacks upon
Miss Francis E. Willard. The union
must have come TO the conclusion that
she is not to be believed, or else it
would not have condemned her so en-
phatically.
The truth is such agitators as the Wells
woman accomplish no good object. Their
main purpose is to attract attention and
create sensation. They seldom know what
the truth is and they don't care to know.
They are anxious for notoriety and they
don't care much how they achieve it.
If the Wells woman had kept close 10
the truth, and given the exact facts about
lynchings, the general opinion in Eng
land about lynchings in the south would
be much more favorable to the southern
people. While it is true that Iynchings
are to be deplored and should be checked
by every means in the power of the au-
thorities, still it is hardly to be expected
that there will not be occasional lynch
ings when worthless negroes make wo-
men and little girls the victims of a hor-
rible crime.
The most intelligent of the colored pee.
pie know how to put an end to lynchings.
If they will elevate their race so that ne.
groes will not commit the crime for which
they are lynched there will be very few
lynchings.

| The legislature Of New York recently
in session enacted law giving all per-
sons Of the state equal accommodations.
| advantages. facilities and privileges In
I hotels, barber shops. restaurants. bath
/ houses. theaters. music halls and pubIie
/ conveyances. and making it a m.sdemesn-
or 10 deny any one such Accommodations
and privileges. The bill was framed by a
colored man named Anderson. who is a
clerk in the state treasurer's Office. Some
CT the New York papers are claiming
that the republican majority OF the leg
islature passed the bill for political pur-
poses. that is. in order TO hold the col
ored voters to the Republican party.
Sunday night three colored men made
a test OF the law. It is asserted that they
were hired 10 do so. They went TO the
leading restaurants and demanded TO DC
served and to the bars OF the principal
hotels. The proprietors of the places VS.
lied knew Of the law and compiled with
il, for the reason that they did not want
to make themselves liable for the heavy
fire for which the law provides. One pro-
prietor-the proprietor OF a Turkish bath
stablishment-begged off when the three
colored men visited his place. He told
them that if they insisted he would give
them a bath, but that if it were known
that he had permitted colored men TO
have the privileges of his establishment
his business would be ruined. They ac-
cepted his plea and left without being
washed
This law is likely to cause n good deal
Of annoyance in New York. The prejudice
against colored people is as strong in
that city as it is anywhere else in the
country, and it will be a dimcult matter
to enforce the law. The white people. at
least a very large percentage of them.
will not patronize hotels and restaurants
that accommodate colored people, and y
the colored people insist upon compr-
ance with the law the proprietors of some
Of these places will be heavy losers.
In trying TO force themselves into places
in which they are not welcome the col
ored people are not advancing their own
interests They are only making stronger
the prejudice against them. Doubtless they
regard the prejudice as unreasonable, but
it exists. and the fact of its existence
might as well be recognized.
If they hope to remove it they have taken
the wrong way 10 do it. A much surer
way is for the colored people to improve
their condition-eet rid of the vices which
now weigh them down. The prejudice
may always exist, but it is certain to ex-
list as long as the colorcd people remain in
their present moral, intellectual and ma
terial condition, and as long as the preju-
dice remains they will be denied in soma
way or other the privileges they seek in
spite of laws that have been or may be
passed on the subject.

Paid for the Lady

Here Is a somewhat rev story OF the
Niagara Falls hackman, says the Buffalo
Express.
Two tourists. a lady and a gentleman.
stopped OF at the Falls between trains.
A hackman engaged them for a brief tour
OF sightseeing The time actually consum-
ed was 5 minutes. The hackman said ne
must have SO. sThe gentleman remarked
that u was an outrage. The driver ex-
planned that he had been OF great as
sistance in pointing out the places Of in
terest and stood firm The gentleman pre-
pared 10 pay under protest.
Unfortunately for himself, he handed the
man 50 bill.
Do YOU pay for the lady. also?'' asked
the haciIman. promptly.
DO pay Tor the lady2' repeated his fare
IN establishment. "Of course, I do. What
do YOU mean2"
Then, there will he no change" re-
piled the hackman. My charge of SO is
Tor one person; so for two persons. The
amount You have handed me is exactly
correct Thank YOU sir"

Education Does Not Always Improve
the Cook.

It's quite the fad now for householders
10 send their servants to a cooking school
and pay all the fees for their culinary edu-
cation, says the New York World. After
taking course the servant invariably re-
signs and goes after a place where her
superior attachments will command higher
remuneration.
THAT makes three girls I've had taught
to cook" said a Harlem woman who can
not afford TO pay more than S17 a month
and each one has left as soon as IhaVe
paid her tuition. The first one was very
anxious to become proficient in the art
and spent most of the week at the cooking
colleges learning TO make complicated
dishes. She got so that she could cook any
thing.
Il resolved to give a dinner party. so as
TO show off her superior attachments which
my friends had all heard about from me but
had never tested. Two days before the din
ner party she decamped She had got a
better situation.
THE next, was sure wouldn't play me
shabby trick like that. and / had her
graduate. When she got her diploma she
came and demanded a raise of 81 a month
In her wages. She left, very much annoyed
at my refusal to recognize her increased
value.
The third is the last I shall ever teach
anything. She graduated at the head of
her class in the Yorkville University of Sci
entihc Household Directors and made the
valedictory Grafton at the commencement
II was, only a week afterward, when
was cohgratulating myself upon my work
when Della came running up to me and ex-
claimed:
'Hurrah He'll marry me now. He says
can cook good enough for him. and Fa-
thor OStufferty is going to join us the day
after tomorrow.
The he she referred to was the police
man on our beat. He had long loved her,
but he was an epicure and said that they
could not wed until she cooked better. He
IS perfectly contented with the education |
have given her, but he hasn't even ex-
pressed his gratitude
My cooking is now being done by red
haired savage who thinks eggs should be
boiled half an hour and potatoes three min
utes, and who refuses to be converted from
that idea. I've had enough of giving cook
ing lessons, though, and I'm letting her
have her own way

Fifty years from to-day learned scien-
lists may place the common candle be-
fore their classes and lecture on it as
the most wonderful light in the world
In recent address a New York profess
sor said that if the electric light were uni
versal to-day, the candle, if suddenly in
troduced, would be thought a wonderful
invention, as it enables a person to OBJ
tain light in its simplest and most por-
table form, and without the use of cum
brous machinery or the necessity of at
taching the lamp to any fixed point by
means of wires before it could be
lighted

Oliver Cromwells fame seems to be Sc
riously menaced. Unless the British par
lament quits discussing whether or not
he was a great man and deserving of a
monument at the expense of the coun-
try, some magazine will be after taking
him up and making a feature" of him.
And then we shall probably
be told by some writer that
old Oliver never said: Put
your trust in God. but mind you keep
your powder dry" And divers fame

Depends ON the Point of View.
From the Boston Globe Qnd)

Some people who have lately come from
Cuba say the Spanish troops are sue
cessful, others say the insurgents are gain
ing all the victories. and stu others say
there is no war in Cuba at all. 1t possibly
all depends upon what part OF the island
they come from. The wise blind men of
the east who examined the elephant all
had varying reports. The one who felt
of his tail said he was like rope, the one
who felt of his tusks said he was like a
spear. the one who felt of his trunk
thought he was much like a snake, and
the one who felt of his legs said he re-
sembled a tree A great deal depends up
on the point of observation.

Ex-Gov. Bullock of this state, in Nor
folk day or two ago. expressed the opin-
ion that the free silver craze will have
run its course in Georgia before the next
election. He says the people are fast
finding out that the government can es-
tablish the price of cotton just as well
as it can that of silver, and that it can
do neither, and that all necessary to
wipe out the craze is for the people to
realize this fact.
