A QUEER PHILANTHROPIST,
The Man Who Collected for the News

boys Dinner Tried.
Harry Mcknight, who was arrested Tues
day by Detective Helan. on a charge OF
false pretenses In connection with collec-
tions for an entertainment of newsboys
as published in The Star at the time. was
arraigned in the Police Court today, and
plea Of not guilty.
Mr.. Mcknight said he had lived here al
intervals since 1851, and had been employ
ed in the Philadelphia post office as well
as having been postmaster at Ivy City.
The case involving the, collection of 81
from Mr.. Lansburgb was called. and Mr.
Lansburgh told the court that he had con.
tributed the money because the defendant
had told him that 1t was for the news
boys entertainment.
Mrs. ]. w. Babson, a member Of the
beard of managers of the Newsboys and
Children's Aid Society, was called as wit
ness. and she said that SO far as the So
cerned, Mr.. Mcknight had not any connec-
tion with 1t.
Mcknight, in his own defense, told the
court that he had made the collections
Christmas entertainment and form a bene-
fetal society that would pay the boys sick
benefits.
He said he collected 81, spent $3 for
M. C. A. rooms.
did you have anything for them to
eet?" the court wanted to know.
mo. sir" he answered.
Defendant went on to tell that he had
a musical entertainment, and gave the
boys the few toys he had bought. as well
as a dozen that were donated. The Or
ganization, he said. was organized and
officers were elected.
Mr.. Peter 3. Sweeney. who for seven
years was agent for the Newsboys' and
Children's Aid Society, was elected an
officer and he was in court as witness.
He said he had known Mr.. Mcknight for
years, and knew he had done good work
among the newsboys in Philadelphia,
where, at one time, he had fed as many
as 100 boys.
Mr.. Sweeney said he knew nothing OF
the collections ether than the IS contrib
.uted by Mrs. G. w. Childs.
Judge Miller thought 1t a singular thing
the entertainment he did not give the boys
something to eat or divide the money among
them.
Judge Miller spoke of the amount Of good
work that has been done for the newsboys
and said the merchants were to be congratu-
lated ON their generosity to them. So fal
as he was concerned, he said, ne was moi
going to cour tenance anything like an i'm.
position on the merchants. In conclusion
the Judge said that If Mcknight intended tC
spend the money on the entertainment wher
he made the collections, he was not guilty
but if, on the other hand, he had no such In.
tention, then he Is guilty of false pretenses
He thought there was ground justifying 9
full investigation of McKnight's conduct
and sent the case to the grand jury. He was
committed in default of security.

Atlanta Has Another Task to Per-

IL, Aor"'
Sretial Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ATLANTA, Ga. January 1, 1885,
Atlanta's great exposition is over.
Throughout the various buildings there Is
hurry and hustle. The exhibitors are has
tening to pack up and are anxious to re-
turn home. The exposition has enjoyed a
large measure Of success from every stand
point. Although the stockholders may not
receive a very large dividend upon their
investment. 1t has been a great thing for
Atlenta. but IL has been greater thing
for the south
It turnedtths, tide of northern travel to
Atlanta, through whose gates 1t has poured
into other parts of the south. Every At
lantian. except, perhaps the officials whose
duty 1t has been to entertain gratuitously
all important visiting delegations, is sorry
that it Is over. The expedition will make
Atlanta a great city. 1t vii advertise its
advantages. All roads in the south lead to
Atlanta. -
II is farther west than Cincinnati. but
not as far south as Charleston. 1t Is sur
rounded by a country of great fertility and
inexhaustfble beds of coal, iron, building
stones and other minerals. Its location is
high and healthy.
The Race Question.
But, like all other parts Of the south, At
lanta has problem on its hands. be-
cause 1t chooses to have About 10000 OF
its 100000 Inhabitants are colored peo-
pie, most of them Industrious and thrifty.
and entirely loyal to the interests Of At
lanta and the south, and yet they are pa
riahs. The white people have determined
upon a separation Of these two large
classes Of the population upon race lines.
No regard Is made Of culture. refinement
or wealth. The line Of demarcation is
simply color"
or course this creates friction. The col
oIed people resent 1t. and are continually
overstepping the bounds at some point.
The white people are determined to main
tain at all hazards the separation In the
depots on railroad trains, in eating houses,
theaters and In the higher grades OF en-
ployment This system Is maintained at an
Immense cost to the white people of the
south.
BOycOtted the Exposition.
The exposition suffered terribly from the
non-attendance Of this class because, as
some Of them say. they would not submit
to discrimination on the railroads 1t was
rot until toward the close, and after their
leaders, headed by Bishops Gaines. Grant
and "Col" Pledger, sent out q call for their
people to come to the exposition, that any
considerable number Of them came. After
that they were largely in evidence every
where They were justly proud Of the uni
versal recognition they had received, and
the showing they had made in their building.
Solving the Problem.
The whole south is rapidly solving its
race problem The growth Of the love of
Justice and fair play is everywhere apparent.
1t Is slowly permeating the south. When
the spirit of liberation which always follows
the growth Of the love Of Justice. is every
where dominant in the south, this land.
teeming with natural riches, will enter upon
period of unexanp pied prosperity.

PRESS COMMENT.
Cant. Collier PrODerIy On.

We do not believe President Mckinley
will attach much weight to the influence
of self-constituted patronage dispensers
who attempt to make merchandise out OF
federal positions. X.
The scheme of the party bosses to
flood the Republican press adjacent to
New Mexico with dsparaging statements
relative to Republican aspirants for fed
eral appointments had better cease. The
better class of Republicans realize that
every American citizen has the legal and
moral right to strive for an elective or
appointive office in America and if the
bargain counter statesman thinks he is
going to traffic in the New Mexico fed
eral patronage he may find himself mis-
taken. He may also have we'll venti-
lated character upon which he won't be
able to realize any more than he is now
receiving for his alleged "pull" from de-
cent Republicans who are applicants for
federal positions.-Raton Range.

mild protests of Secretary Olney. of the
state department, the senate committee
on foreign relations has decided, on
Monday, to report resolution in favor
of the immediate recognition of the Re-
public of Cuba. The resolution as agreed
to is a modification of the one introduced
in the senate last week by Senator Cam

line of adding strength and emphasis to
the righteous declaration of the original.
Uuquestionably this proposed report will

WOOL GROWERS INTERESTS.

One hundred and sixty-two thousand
tons, 358,000,00O pounds, was the enorm-
Gus amount of the wool clip of the Ar.
gentine Republic last year, and experts
in the trade, those whose success or fall
ure depends upon the accuracy with
which they gauge the prospects for the
future, estimate the clip that is now being
taken off, at not less that 100000 tons.
The last crop was sold for $29,0OO,0OO,
fraction over cents per pound, which
shows the wonderful improvement there
has been in the breeding of sheep of that
country, for that price is 80 per cent of
the value of all the frst-class wool i'm
ported into the United States last year,
whereas it is but few years since it was
question if Argentine wool WAS better
than third-class. Helmuth Il Co., of Lon
don, in their circular, summing up the
years transactions in 1892, said: Gar
gentlne wool shows wonderful improve
ment liz quality and condition, and is
now equal to Queensland"
As little or none of the raw material is
used at home, the vast output of this
years fleece will 60 to further depress the
value of wool IN the worlds market, and,
as the freight and expenses of shipment
on this wool to Boston is less than cent
per pound, it is plain that no wool grower
in the United States can compete with
wool at this price. Under the operations
of the Wilson bill, which brings the for
eign producer into direct and unrestricted
com petition with the grower here, wool
has fallen to the Argentine level, but the
man ufactured article has not fallen in like
degree. The United States consumer of
WOODEN goods has not been greatly bene.
