The Princ of Bulgaria is discovering the
difference between visiting Paris ~incognito
and visiting 1t in state. and he prefers the
former method. He started out at s o'clock
one morning for a private stroll, but, look

perceived that he was being followed by
TWO police officials, and promptly returned
to his house.
The English papers are full of stories OF
the late Shah of Persia, some of which are
probably true. When he was visiting Eng
land he frequently expressed his contempt
for the mildness of English Law. SO he was
finally taken to Newgate in order that ne
might see a gallows. He at once manifest
ed great interest in IL, and. expressing a de-
sire TO see how it worked, asked the gov
ernor to hang a man. The governor ex-
planned that he had not at the time a man
ready for the experiment: whereupon the
Shah expressed his contempt But ne inti-
mated that that was OF no consequence

According to a table in the Chicago
Tribune the free-coinage faction of the
Democratic party has 37S delegates and
the gold-standard faction $50 which are
as good as elected In the 1913 are counted
for free silver the forty-eight delegates
Of Illinois. The Tribune goes on to say
that If the gold faction gets Indiana
Kentucky and South Dakota 1t will have
just the number of delegates which con-
stitute a majority of the convention. But
under the unit rule, If not without 1t,
Indiana's thirty delegates will go to the
silverites and push its S7S UP to 40S.
Again. in the gold column IS Ohio. Posi-
bly, Senator Brice may be able to get a
majority Of the Ohio delegation. and
thus, under the unit rule, control the
whole Of 1t. Such estimates as the above
are not reliable. t M

motives for its enactment than have
been given to the public Heretofore it
a been understood that the bill was
passed to prevent the enactment OF a
free-coinage bill, which the silence Of
President Harrison led some to fear that
he might approve. Such is the version
which Senator Sherman gives in his
book. Senator Teller gives a different
version. 1t is that the free-coinage ma
jority in the Senate determined TO at
tach a free-silver amendment to the Nc
Kinley tariff bill then before Congress,
which measure. Senator Teller asserts.
President Harrison would have vetoed,
thus killing free silver and the tariff bill
together. This, and not the fear that a
free-silver bill might be signed, Is the
reason why the Sherman act was passed
against his judgment In his speech
senator Teller said that General Harri-
son told Senators that he would veto a
f~ree-coinage bill. and that Secretary
Window told this to Congressman again
and again. The Sherman law was passed
to secure the passage Of the Mckinley
bill.

THE NEGRO
A nsa Says 1t In
Christianixing Of the whites.
The Iudependent-

A Kansas Snys 1t In the
Christianizing OF the whites.
The Independent.
An admirable study of a local negro
problem Is given by the Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon In The Kingdom. Mr.. Sheldon is
the boundaries of his parish is a district, Of
about eight hundred negroes, living for the
most most part in two and three room cabins
without a high Christian influence. Ii is a
class of poor negro immigrants from Ten
nessee and elsewhere, the older people hav-
ing grown up in a loose kind of way. Mr..
Sheldon took lodgings for two weeks in this
negro district. went into their house, took
a careful census Of their numbers, occupa-
tion, health, ambitions, needs and wants.
he then tested the caste feeling against the
negro in Topeka. He had a respectfully
the best restaurants IN the city and followed
him, and found that he was properly re-
celved and cared for. The restaurants drew
man apply for membership in the Young
Mems. Christian Association, and he was
refused. although a Bohemian, an Indian,
ceived. They told the negro applicant to
get up a negro association of his own. So
the Young Mems Christian Association
proved less Christian than the restaurants.
In conclusion. Mr.. Sheldon says that there
Is no negro problem any more than an
Ang.o-Saxon problem-it is simply a human
PIOplems mat the great nope IOf the negro
is In the children; and his church has ac-
cordingly established a kindergarten for
negroes. The young men and women are the
hardest Of all to reach, including the rowdy,
lawless. loafing and gambling element. At
the same time the negro young man does
not have much incentive to study or learn
a trade. He can get no place as clerk in an
office or store, nor any position as work.
man or machinist in a railroad shop; he
is not wanted as q teacher, and industrial
avenues generally are closed against him.
Since this investigation began many of the
negroes have com into Mr.. Sheldon's
church and Sunday school. One white
family at once took their children out Of
the schoo and withdrew to another church;
but the rest of his people. he says. seem to
be pretty good Christians and remain with
him. The negroes ride In the street and
steam cars ali through Kansas with the
white people and have the same rights with
them at theaters, churches and all enter
talnments; but the race prejudices is yet
far from fading out. Mr.. Sheldon concludes
with this weighty remark:
II do not have much hopes of Christian
izing the negroes until we have Christianized
the Angio-Saxons. 1t is a present question
with me now sometimes which race needs
Ii the most"
