AIDING THE NEGROES.

Booker T. Washington is a man of
whom the colored race may be proud;
he is a man of whom the whole country
may be proud. The other day he ad-
dressed the Twentieth Century club Of
Boston, and what he said shows deep
thought and study, and that he is
thinker. He spoke of the elevation of
his race. and ne spoke in a manner
that deserves attention from all, for
the negro problem in the United
States is not a solved problem.
The observation of Mr.. Washington
that il seemed to him that the temp
tation in educational and missionary
work is to do for people that which
was done a thousand years ago or is
being done Cor people a thousand
miles away, without always making
careful study of the needs and condi-
tons of those whom we are trying to
help" and that the temptation is 10
run all people through a certain educa-
tional mold, regardless of the condi-
ton of the subject or the end to be
accomplished" is not a new one by
any means, but it is a true one. This
country Of ours needs all the educa-
ticnal and missionary work our people
have to bestow for many years. When
there is so much ignorance and sin in
the land it seems like a satire and
abandonment of hope for missionaries

convert the heather.
What Mr.. Washington had TO say
about the education OF his race shows
how interested he is in his life's work.
He says;

help me consider this evening is the

INDIA's THREATENED FAMINE.

India appears to be the great land
of famine, and one threatens that coun-
try now. 1t is coming to be discovered
that there are some other causes that
contribute 10 midas distress in years
of famine as well as the failure of the
crops. One of these, the greatest, is the
drain of money TO England through the
salaries paid TO English officials En-
slishmen who take service in India do
so for the purpose of accommodating a
fortune and with no idea of remaining
in the country. The methods of admin
istration pursued today are different
from those adopted by Warren Hast
ings, but the object is much the same.
English salaried officers draw from
this land some 20O,0OO,O goo rupees a
year. Services are rendered for it, to
be sure, but the services do not repre-
sent merchandise or material products
The most of the amount paid for sal
aries means an absolute loss of money
to India. The closing of the minis to
silver makes this drain all the heavier
A gentleman whose speciality is Indian
affairs. and who is a firm believer in
the single gold standard. writes to a
London paper concerning the $125, OOO,-
600 that is annually drawn out of India,
as follows:
Reckoned on the old basis of the par
value of the rupee, 10 to the pound
sterling, this would mean at least $780,
100000. reckoned in silver or in agri-
cultural produce. The drain of produce
under this head, therefore, in 1896 is
twice what it was in 1876. If the i'm
ports into the native states were dis
tinguished from those into British ter
ritory, believe this terrific drain
would be shown TO be considerably
larger. 1t is quite impossible for INDIA
to be prosperous so long as this drain
continues.
The Springfield Republican, COM
menting upon this. says that here is
strong evidence that the great fall in
the price of silver has considerable to
do with the present condition of India,
aside wholly from whatever extrava-
gances there may be in British admin
istration or the natural ineradicable
conditions of Indian agriculture If
silver had been maintained at it's old
bIlCe VI S1--J all ounce the people OF
India would not be so near famine to-
day. Britain's gold monometallic pol
icy, it would seem, has in this case
brought additional hardship to a part
of the empire
Ya-v strong evidence, indeed, we
should say. The Indian minis were
closed to the free coinage of silver. not
for the benefit of the Indians, but for
the benefit of the English in India.
Silver has ALWAYS been the money of
the far east, and when the people there
who are under British rule are deprived
of its use it makes their already heavy
burdens doubly heavy.
The silver question will force itself
to the front without any agitation, and
when there is no campaign on it will
receive = calm consideration that is
impossible when one is on. midas
threatened famine will, in all probable
ity. make the silver question one that
all the world must consider.

we went into slavery with chains

My friends, l submit it to your can

is capable of such test. such trans
formation, is not worth saving and
making part in reality, as we'll as
in name, OF our democratic govern
ment
Few, I fear, realize what is to be
done before the 1000, coo of my people in
the south can be made a safe. helpful,
progressive part of our institutions.
The south, in proportion to its abil
lty, has done well, but this does not
change facts. In spite of all that has
been done, in one county in Alabama,
that contains 10000 colored people and
about 1000 whites, not a single public
school for negroes has been open this
year longer than three months, rot a
single colored teacher has been paid
more than SIS a month for teaching.
In this county, the state or public au
thorities do not own a single dollars
worth of school property. Each col
ored child has had spent on him this
year for his education about so cents,
while each one of your children has
had spent on him about $50. And yet,
each citizen of that county is eX-
pected to share the burdens and privi-
leges of our democratic form of gov
eminent equally with the people of
Boston. Do you know that a single
schoolhouse built this year in a town
near Boston to shelter 300 students has
cost more for building alone than will
be spent this year for the education of
the whole colored school population of
Alabama?
That could not have been better said
l'y any one. Booker T. Washington has
noble mission in life. May success
crown all his efforts.

LET THERE BE RETRENcHMENT.

Tt is not necessary to inquire into the
causes that have produced the great
business depression which has been
upon the country for some years past
to enable one to recognize the fact of
its existence. People will differ as to
the causes, but not as TO the fact.
During all this time of depression the
people have been compelled to re-
trench in their personal expenses in
every way possible. Many have sue
cumbed to the hard times, while all
have felt them. While this has been
the case with the people the govern
ment has gone on in a most extrava-
giant manner in its expenditures. Con-
gress has made appropriations with
lavishness that the resources of the
government in no way warranted. The
appropriations have been definite, GER
tain and large, and apparently made
with no regard to what government re-
ceipts would be or whether they would
be adequate or inadequate to meet the
demands upon them. The consequence
has been that there have been deficits
instead of SURPRISES.
All this no one will dispute. Having
failed to apply an effective remedy in
the past, congress, ateits next session.
should do what it can to mend mat
tiers. Ii should retrench. 1t is hard
thing to do, yet it should be done. If
members of congress Will but reflect
moment they viii see how absolutely
necessary this is. They cannot but
recognize that the taxes which are col
lected to carry on the government are
all derived from the people in one form
or another When times are hard with
them their ability to pay taxes is re-
duced just as it is to launch out into
new fields of industry. This is true
whether taxes are collected through a
tariff or by means of internal revenue.
The charge of extravaganza in eXpendi-
ture can be made against both parties,
though it has been greatest by the Re
publicans What is needed now is re-
trenchment. The condition of the
country, which is nothing but the con-
dition of the people, demands it.

EDuoATIoN or CHIInREN.

The school education of children up
to the time they leave the common
schools and are ready 20 enter the
high school, is the most important edu-
cation, because it is the most univer-
sal. Even for those who go through
the high schools and into the colleges
it is the foundation, and the worth of
a system of education, as of a build
ing. must be the solidity of its founda-
ton.
Throughout the whole country at
tempts are made to make this COM
mon school education cover too much
ground. The worth and abundance of
a crop, educational or agricultural, do
not depend so much upon the extent 90
the ground as the thorough cultivation
of it. 1t is impossible to make the
mind of the child take in so much as
the mind of the mature person will: vet
there is a tendency among educators to
attempt to do this very thing. 1t is
an old saying that the man of few
books is the man of thorough reading.
This was the idea at the bottom of the
saying of DR.. Johnson that if he had
read as many books as other men he
would have known as little. 1t is the
ignoring of this idea in the common
schools that produces such small re-
suits. The children are given too many
subjects and not enough drilling in
most of them. The great majority of
children are made thorough in their
studies chiefly by drilling and ding
ing. There may be a remote danger
that they win be given too much of
these, but there is a near and ever
present danger that they will be given
too little of them.
The saying. There is no excellence
without labor" is nowhere more ap-
plicable than in school work, nor is
it truer anywhere than in school work
than that he who would be jack of
all trades Will be master of none. Fine
catalogues telling of what schools teach

THE NEED IF REVENUE.


A statement of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the government for the
first five months of the fiscal year
shows deficit of sS9, $40, SAC. practically
a deficit of ss,o00,O00 month. or nearly
a hundred millions a year if the rate
of deficit continues for the remaining
seven months. That rate of deficit, il
continued a few years, Will bankrupt
the government. Such state of affairs
must be remedied. This can only be
done by supplying more revenue. 1t
will be a comparatively easy matter to
supply it; the difficulty will be in
adopting a method whereby it shall be
supplied.
Here is the rub. Protectionists Will
contend for heavy increases in the tariff
duties while those who oppose protect
i've duties viii contend for an increase
in internal revenue taxes. The necessity
for revenue being immediate, extrem-
lists of both schools should recognize
the need of the hour and be willing to
concede something. If this were done
promptly and without any wrangling
and fighting for party advantage, the
enue could very soon be had.
Against this view of the question it
viii be urged by the protectionists that
it viii be less than three months before
a new administration comes in, with
house and senate in sympathy with It,
and that then the whole question of
providing revenue and revising the
tariff lin accordance with the demand
of the people" which usually means in
accordance with the demands of the
politicians, can be dealt with. This will
mean, in all probability, an extra ses-
sion of congress. The desire to handle
the tariff question throughout and
frame an entirely new law, and with
a near prospect of being able to do so,
will most likely be too strong a temp
tation to be withstood.
1t viii also be urged against the en-
actment of any revenue measure at
the present time that it would at best
be a makeshift and only temporary.
What weight such arguments will have
it is quite impossible to say, but doubt
less it will be considerable. The whole
tariff question may or may not be
opened so soon as President-elect Nc
Kinley is inaugurated, but about one
thing there is no doubt, which is, that
the government is sorely in need of
revenue and it is the duty of congress
to provide it.
