The law as passed in each of tho

Unjust Kick.

The coIored people of this city
are ohjectjng to the competition in
labor caused ny the working colored
students who attend Lincoln Insti.
tutc. They claim that it deprivea
them of work. They overlook the
fact that these young colorcd people
who are attending Lincoln Institute
are trying TO secure an education to
better lit them to help the race, and
that many of them would be de-
prived of this education were they
deprived Of working for their board
during their school term. Prof.
Page made it very plain why they
should be permitted to work their
way while attending school. 1t
would he very unjust and an inter-
ference with the natural rights Of
these students were they prohibited
by the regents from working while
attending school, In fact, any such
rule, if adopted, would be unlawful
and could not be enforced. 1t is
not at all likely that the regents Of
Lincoln Institute will make any such
order.

The city is marching onward in
sidewalk Improvement. A mum.
bel of sidewalks were condemned,
and when such action is taken the
permit from the city to relay a walk
is necessary and in this permit the
city STIMULATES as to the character of
the walk. Almost every new walk
that is now being laid is therefore
grauil0id. If this uniformity is
continued our city will soon present
Il very different appearances. Mr..
John I. Clark has just had a new
walk put in front of his Main street
property that is occupied by M.
VIM. D'Ornch. This makes a long

of thi. Main street block. Grauitoid

also been done by Mr.. Clark, only

and Mr.. Elsner in this block to he

Better Tines,

The general feeling of coming
prosperity will do much to dispel
the gloom that has been a strsng
factor during the last depression.
This general feeling cuts an impor-
tant figure in the prosperity of our
country. The fact that the present
conditions favor the revival of bust
ness cannot he denisd, The crops
in Missouri are especially good.
Every species of prosperity struck
bottom prices and Il business revival
is therefore almost sure to come.
The general feeling, however, does
more to bring about the permanent
revival of business than anything
else. Business can be likened verv
much to the condition of n sick man

croak about bad business, and all
agree that it is going to be worse,

CITY Parks.

The temporary discontinuance Of
sur band concerts at the capitol
grounds brought the whole city to a
realization of the fact that we are
very sadly in need of n park. Steps
should long ago have been taken4.h Joy
the city to secure "A plat Of ground
within tho limits and reserve it for
park purposes. 1t is now impoSsi.
bic to secure even one acre of
ground eligibly located for park
purposes. Later on it will be i'm.
possible to get n suitable tract of
land anywhere ear the city. Every
well regulated town of this size
ought to commence looking ahead
and build for the future. The last
session Of the Legislature passed II
law relating to the establishment of
