Practical Phjlanth ropy,

Atlanta University is endeavoring to do
good work for the colored people of The
south. 1t has already done nobly, but the
accomplishments of the past are but PROM
iSeS OF the things hoped for. The latest
l1ea in the uniyerSltys plans is the IN
auSura ton of Il series of conferences of the
unIFersityS graduates to discuss the conIi-
tons of negroes living in cities; who, by
tne-way. number 1,25n.OOO. or one-sixth of
the entire negro population of the country.
The condition of these city residents is
nucn less satisfactory than it ought to be
and 1t must please the intelligent people.

opportunities for such Investigations are
superior to those at the disposal of white
philanthropists. so valuable results NAV

death-rate now prevailing will be presented
and there will be testimony as to its causes
and many suggestions intended to be RENE

encouragement.

When the promises of June-time come to
thrill the lazy air.
And the sun beats hot upon the dusty
road;
When the lavish locust blossoms spill their
perfume everywhere
And parched rocks rise where once the
river flowed,
The bird-songs lose the charm which has
delighted so the ear;
In vain the zephyrs chant their ee-top
lay,
There fingers no attraction in the har-
monies once dear
You want TO hear the steam-piano play.
Oh, the hurry and the scramble where the
polished azure arch
Reflects on us the suns o'er-genial glow,
And the eager, happy faces, all alon, he

Where the band keeps Gro wds in rhythm az
they go.

contemplative mood,
All lose their charm beneath the mystic
sway
OF the billowy stretch of canvas and the
fields with sawdust strawed
You would rather hear the steam-piauo
play.

and who nevertheless has been ole of the

Some OF these days, when Congress is in
a practically patriotic mood it will make
law OF such bill as that-introduced in
the House by Representative Richardson
"hch provides for the construction in this
city of Hall of Patriotism" The sug-
EeStion set forth in the measure referred
TO is wholly understandable and should re-
teiVe the serious support it deserves. The
bill provides that there be established here
& public building, to be known as the Hall
OF Patriotism. in which shall be placed
from time TO time such contributions from
individuals OF articles relating to the past
or present history of the country, or dona-
tons from states of battle flags. memorials
felicS or statues of its distinguished citi-
zens. or such articles of historical yalu. as
Congress may from time to time direct
the supervision of said building to be under
the control of d commission composed of
the Secretary of War. the Secretary of the
Navy and the Secretary of the Interior:
and no article shall be placed In said build
ing which is not acceptable to such COM
mission or which may not lie approved by
them, unless by special authority of Con-
GTess y modest appropriation of $1,000
is asked 20 defray the expenses attendant
upon the preparation of plans. The COM
mission is directed to call upon architects
generally to place designs in competition.
Congress TO decide which is the better de-
sign and reward the victor. Such an insti-
tuition as the proposed Hall of Patriotism
IS needed a hundred years hence inteili-
gent Americans will wonder why their
nineteenth century ancestors gave so few
Cutward Indications of that heaithfuI sentf-
Hent which brings about the preservation
Of material aids to the existence of the
patriotic spirit, from lack of which nations
perish.

and that the home government may put 1t
down in her own way. Surely, before
Congress adjourns, with the lives of Amer
lean citizens in peril and at the mercy of
drum-head Spanish courts martial, some
action should be taken making it impossi-
BILE for the American side of the contro-
versy to be longer misrepresented or mis-
understood.
Certain phases of the situation would not

incur great risk and frequently pay ter
rble penalties. But in this case much
would be gained by action which would
improve the standing of this government in
the eyes of the world. That standing today
is not goods in derogation. indeed. of the
national character. Congress Is denounc IL
for Incorporate aggresSivencss by Spain
and her friends. while the President is
denounced abroad by those who hold with
the Cubans, for a course characterized as
cowardly supineness. This. at least, can in
pass the Morgan resolution, and that will
enable the President, either In approving
1t or In vetoing 1t, to state the case from
the executive standpoint. The Star differs
with the President radically on this sub
Ject, but it would be very glad to see such
an opportunity afforded him, and to see
him improve it. The passing of the joint
resolution would serve the double purpose
of freeing Congress from further criticism
about the idle demonstration of the con-
current resolutions. and of putting the
President definitely on record.
1t would hardly be worth while TO refer
again to the foreign insinuation that Mir.
Cleveland has the November elections in

less absurd upon its face. No partisan ad-
vantage Is possible in this Cuban mat

NEEDED TRUTHS.

At the funeral in Cleveland, Ohio,
of one of the strikers who was killed
in the riot, there was an immense
gathering. 1t was estimated that
ten thousand men joined in the pro-
cession, and on the line from the
church to the cemetery we are told
there were one hundred thousand
people. But the most notable fea
ture was the discourse of Mgr. Thorpe
at the Immaculate Conception. He
stood up before the great throng, and
told them plain, wholesome truth. In
forceful words he condemned the
strikers for their violence, and among
other things he said:
The lesson we must learn today is
that in society there are two classes
capitalist and wage Garner. Next to
capital there is the strong right arm of
labor. One cannot exist without the
other. The capitalist has the right
under the laws of the State and the ma
ton. He makes hazardous ventures,
and on account of the risks in business
has the right to do as he chooses. He
may abuse that right, and forget God in
his enjoyment of his riches. II he does,
there is a remedy; but it does not lie in
passion or vengeance. | speak to you
as brothers. The remedy is public SEN
timent and the law. There is another
class. not banded together as you are.
They have the individual rights, and
those who administer the law must pro-
tect them. Scenes have been enacted
during the past week which should
never occur. These men who have be-
come victims of your hate have rights
under the law.
We can readily believe the report
that the sermon was denounced ty
many of the excited hearers. But
the preacher is to be commended for
his fidelity. 1t is by such moral
courage as this that the pulpit both
earns and deserves the confidence of
the judicious and thoughtful

THE WHITE Mr.. LONGFELLOW.

Mr.. Howells is never so felicitous as
when he is writing chapters of literary
reminiscence. This month, in "Harp.
er's," he has some recollections of "The
White Mr.. Longfellow." which do more
than anything which has been printed
since the poets death to bring back the
sweet nobility OF the man, his kindly
presence, the very smile upon his lips.
Among other delicate passages of por.
traiture there is this which throws equal
light upon the poet in Longtellow and
the man: when Longtellow read verse
it was with hollow. with a mellow,
resonant murmur, like the note of some
deep-throated horn. His voice was very
lulling in quality, and at the Dante
Club it used to have early effect with an
old scholar who sat in a cavernous arm.
chair at the corner of the fire, and who
drowsed audibly in the soft tone and the
gentle heat. The poet had fat terrier
who wished always to be present at the
meetings of the club, and he commonly
fell asleep at the same moment with
that dear old scholar, so that when they
began to make themselves heard in Coz
cert one could not tell which it was that
most took our thoughts from the text
of the Paradise. When the duet opened
Longfellow would look up with an arch
recognition Of the fact. and then go
gravely on to the end of the canto. At
the close he would speak to his friend
and lead him out to supper as if he had
not seen or heard anything amiss."
