40 far the negro in politics has, in
point OF success, not come up to the
expectations of the colored race, and
that especially the pursuit OF public
employment or station by negro
politicians has, as a rule, not served
to raise the colored people in the
esteem of their white fellow-citizens,
but that, on the contrary, the man
ner in which that pursuit has fire.
quently been carried on has made
the negro vote an object OF increas-
ing distrust and dread as to the uses
that may be made OF it.
On the whole, the wiser heads
among the colored people them
selves can hardly fail to see that
their political preferment must not
precede but follow their advance
ment in the other walks OF life. A
goodly number OF negroes achieving
distinction as lawyers, or as physi-
clans, or as ministers, or as edu-
Gators, or as business men, will, by
the impression produced upon pub
lie opinion, effect far more for the
political advancement of their race
than ever SO many negro politicians
getting themselves elected to Con
gress or appointed to other Offices,
and infinitely more than the horde
of colored place-hunters who be-
siege party committees for "infu-
ence" or appointing officers for
favors in the name OF the colored
vote, and who thus intensity the re.
pulsiveness of one of the most bspe.
full features of our political life. In
this respect nothing more helpful
can happen to the colored people
than than that all the government
employments be put under civil
service rules, 80 that every colored
citizen who gets an appointment be
known to have obtained it on ac-
count of his own individual merit,
in free competition on an equal
footing with other citizens, white
or black, aud that he is therefore
fairly and honorably entitled to it.
Places 80 won will indeed be marks
OF real proficiency and distinction,
and raise the colored people in that
public esteem which above all things
they need. CARL SoHURz.

In offering to fight the battle for the
old mountaineer, Thorndyke had reck-
oned without his host in one very i'm
portant particular. When he awokc
from q troubled sleep on the morning

kept weel enough these sax years, an q
day or SO maire or less Wilma make or

"But you don't understand" insisted
Thorndyke, rising on his elbow and
pushing back the dizziness that threat
cned TO submerge him. "A single day
may make all the difference between
success and failure. You must remeIn-
Der that it's the life or the liberty Of
one poor old man against more money

Thorndyke sat up to eat the break
fast brought him . little later by Mrs.
Duncan, and he was able in the course
Of the forenoon to dress and go down to
the sitting-room. Elsie had been re-
proachin9 herself oil the morning for
her part in the imprudent excursion Of
the day before, and when the invalid
came down she installed herself at once

might have said in reply Philip was not
to know, for in the moment Of cmbar-
raised silence Mrs. Duncan called her

Philip was left to compound as best he

Philip had reed and examined the let

"Just what I expected when you inen-
