For instance, his condition in this
country, which is by no means
pleasant to him, but as far as his
arm of flesh is concerned in chang
ing it the Negro is almost passive,
not because he is afraid Of men or
devils, but it is; first, because he
fears; second, if he was to rise up
and do violence even to those who
are penetrating great wrongs
upon him he would by SO doing
incur Gods disfavor; second, tor
his faith in God. He believes that
God will at his own time and in
his own way change and make good
these conditions. And, third, be-
cause Of his high regard for human

that the Negro has more love for

 OLD-TIME SWEETNESS GONE.

Molasses is Now Made Into Rum and
 Brown Sugar Can't Be Bought.
 '"The old-fashioned molasses Is rapid
 ly disappearing as an article of com
 merce,' said prominent grocer, and in it's place have come a number of
 syrups, which are more costly and by
 no means as satisfactory, especially to
 the little ones, who delight as we did
 when we were young in having lasses on their bread Most of the molasses
 goes into the distilleries. where it is
 made into rum, for which, notwith-
 standing the efforts of our temperance
 workers, the demand is constantly on
 the increase especially in the New
 England states and for the export trade. The regular drinker of rum will take no other liquors in it's place if he can help it. It seems to reach the spot more directly than any other dram. The darker brown sugars have also disappeared, and they are not like ly to return, owing to the methods of boiling and the manufacture. Grant, lated sugar is of the same composition, as far as saccharine qualities are con- cerned, as loaf, cut loaf, cube, and crushed, and differs from them only in that it's crystals do not cohere. This Is because it is constantly stirred dur ing the process of specialization. The I lighter brown sugars taste sWeeter than the white, for the reason that there IS some molasses in them. Housekeepers 1 have difficulty these days finding coarse dark sugars, which are always ] preferred for use in putting up sweet | pickles, making cakes, and similar | uses. As they cannot get brown sugar any more it may be well for them to l remember that they can simulate
 brown sugar by adding a teaspoonful
 of molasses to each quarter of pound of the white granulated sugar. This
 combination does as we'll in all house.

dition of things the Chicago Times Herald thinks that the true explana- ton of the disparity between the east ern and western States seems to be found in the fact that the older and more conservative States of the east have surrounded their building and loan business with greater safeguards for the protection of investors than the western members have under their lax State laws. "They manage such things better in the east There an invest ment in building and loan association stock is about as secure as one in United States bonds. Unfortunately this cannot truthfully be said of simi- lar investments in the west. Illinois aims to furnish certain degree of protection for association members by providing for a system of annual in- spection under the direction of the aud ltor of state, but 1t is a notorious fact that this system is entirely inadequate. Frequent failures have emphasized this truth beyond the necessity for discus- sion.'

BICYCLE ACCIDENTS.

The Chicago Tribune makes bold to assert that "as a source of accident the wheel owns no rivals, and the list of people who received injuries at fires, in factories, from the street cars, from defective sidewalks, from runaways, from any one of the hundreds of odd causes represented in the archives at the City Hall, is small compared with that due to the bicycle.' And in sup port of this assertion the Tribune prints a table grouping in various classes the accidents that have befallen bicyclists, or been caused by them, in Chicago between June and July 31. Included in 1t are all the mishaps serious enough to have commanded police attention, and the total, an even hundred, is sup posed to be about one-third of the whole number. Most numerous are the cases in which bicycles collided with wagons, and close to them come those in which the wagons did the running down. The former instances number twenty-one,
 and the latter ten. Put together, the two make thirty-one, and it is notable that the cases of pedestrians run down by bicyclists number only sixteen. Cyclists collided with other cyclists seven times, fell from their wheels ten times collided with electric cars seven
 times, ran against stationary obstacles twice, and one member of the fraternity
 was rash enough to ride into the river
 instead of waiting for the drawbridge to close. A horGeman maliciously rode
 down one bicyclist and a runaway
 horse captured another. There were three no-lamp collisions, three riders were hurt in crossing car tracks at toe great speed, and six racing men came | to grief on the track The breaking of
 machines caused only four accidents the catching of skirts in wheels caused three, and three wheelmen were thrown from their wheels"
 Probably similar showing would be abounds, but the TT bune's table doesn' | make the bicycle or it's riders appear
 as devilish as they have been charged
 with being.

.IAPIN,S NaYY.

Japan is certainly a great country for 8 small one, and she evidently means to have a navy that will enable her to be impressive when she wants to be. She now has two battleships complet- ed in England with their crews on board waiting for orders to sail at a moments notice. Three other battle- ships which are to be larger than our Indiana are building. III addition to these five batleships in England, there are four armored cruisers each to be of $500 tons and twenty knots speed, and two fast protected cruisers on the stocks there, as well as nine for midable torpedo boats. There are also under way in various stages of con- struction two cruisers in this country, two in France and two in Germany.
 With five new battleships, twelve of the finest cruisers that can be con- structed and large fleet of torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo boats, the new navy of Japan would be likely to make a record in the event of a war with this or any other country with a seacoast or with extensive ocean com- merce.

NOT AN oDroUs ooMpARrsoN.

At the annual convention of the United States League of Building and Loan Associations held in Detroit the other day the secretary's report showed that the league now includes 4,7T6 as socia ations, representing a membership of 1,610,300 persons, with assets aggre- gating $59S, ,3SS,695. Within the past year, notwithstanding the general bus mess depression, the membership of the associations increased 65,17 and the as- sets SIS, ,76O,9 ,93O.
 That is a very favorable showing in deed, everything considered; and it in- dicates that this form of investment is growing in popular favor with the in- dustrial classes. But careful study of the figures in detail, as set forth in the secretary's report, proves that dur ing the last year the advancement has been limited to the eastern and cen- tral States, whereas Illinois, Missouri, California show a retrogression in building and loan business. Illinois for example, now has 196, ,732 members against 1sS,924 members a year ago, 1 and the assets have fallen from sS2. .639,- 25s to sSO,105,574.
 l In looking for the causes of this con-
