Jury Service.

That was an intelligent reply of An
drew Carnegie when, upon being eN-
amined as a juror, he said that while
personally opposed to capital punish
ment he would not let that opinion
prejudice his finding of fact. The juror
is not responsible for the punishments
prescribed by law for capital Of
fences. His duty begins and ends
with Weighing carefully the evil
dcnce. If a murder is deliberate and
unprovokcd he should give his verdict
accordingly. leaving to the law-making
body the responsibility for adjusting
the Dcnalty.
Too oft the scruples on this sub
jcct professed in court are merely
make shifts Cor the evasion Of a pub

volunteer to shoulder musket and go

The hest citizenship is not that which

only in time of public excitement when
the eyes of the multitude are ouencd

patriotism is that which does cheer
fully it's duty to tho city, the county,
the state and the nation. day by day
and week by week, whether seen by
men or unseen; and gets its reward
from the consciousness of duty done,
whether there be other rewards or not.
We are entering as a people upon a
period OF large now responsibilities

"THE PARTING OF THE WAYS -

From the n. y. CommerCial-Advert
There is a deal of solemn preaching
among persons of impatient imagina ton
who desire to discuss the problems of the
future before the problems of the present
have been settled about the parting of
the ways" at which the country now
stands, ready to choose whether to con-
tinue the course of isolation and internal
Development it has pursued hitherto, or q
new career Of exterior expansion and
world relations. In point Of fact the
course this country is to pursue wfll be
decided in the futre. as it has been de-
cided in the past, by operation of eco
nomiC laws and world forces solemn
preaching can neither stimulate nor
check. These laws and forces will de-
termine the direction economic industry
and the energy of trade in this country
shall take, and that direction will govern
its political policies, not be governed by
them.
Present discussion of the details of our
policy In relation to the late colonies OF
Spain is not only premature but futile.
That policy will not be framed until the
immediate issue of the war shall have
been settled by the expulsion of Spain
Then it wifi be settled. after careful study
ard long delberatiCn on our part, prOba-
bly, but by NJ conscious operation of fore
es stronger than our rational will The
laws OF national development will fiX our
course in relation to the world external
to our own states, and our policy in re-
lation to the late colonies of Spain will
have to bend to this law. In one sense
we have not reached the parting Of the
ways; i'm another, we have passed it, be-
cause the course of national development
had undergone a most profound change
before the accident of this Spanish war
came to set wiseacres talking about it,
But for that change the war might have
been, but the effects which seem to pro-
ceed from it, though they really proceed
from deeper causes, would not have fol-
lowed,

The Race Problem.

The race problem as intensified by
recent occurrences in the South is cap
able of solution along two lines, and
along two lines only. The negro must
be educated. The law must be enforced
justly,
It has long been the belief Of such
llbcral-minded and far-sighted negroes
as Professor Booker II. Washington that
the negro when in a condition of illit-
eracy and economic inferiority as is
his lot in most of the Southern states
does his own cause harm by mixing
assertively in politics and by disput-
ing with the whites for political con-
troll This is not a denial of the fact
that under the constitution he has a
perfect right to political equality; it
is a recognition of existing conditions.
\ writer in the Washington Star elab-
crates this thought in these words:
What the negro needs first Of all is
development. and there is the widest
scope for this expansion, outside of the
field of politics or of intimate, familiar
intercourse with the dominant race.
The negro should generally accept self
effacement as Il controlling political
factor, even in those communities
where his numerical preponderance
confers upon him the abstract right.
This policy should certainly be adopted
in those instances where the material
holdings of the race represent only an
insignificant fraction of the substan-
tial interests of the community. The
elective franchise is destined to be of
inestimahle benefit to the race if it is
used wisely and with discretion. In a
majority of the northern and western
states the political parties are so evenly
divided that the colored vote has de-
csive weight. Wherever possible this
vote should be utilized TO effect just
legislation and wholesome public senti-
ment. But to state the truth mildly
the negro is not yet qualified to eXer-
else political control, in state. town OF
county, according to the standards Of
western civilization. A knowledge OF
this truth on the part of the coIored
race is essential to its true develop
ment along those substantial lines
which count for progress. Wherever
the negro has attempted to control the
political machinery the result has al.
ways redounded to his detriment. The
reconstruction regime in the soutf
worked lasting injury to the coloreC
race. The best talent of the popula,
ton was diverted from productive ant
moral pursuits into the whirlpool OF
politics. The minds of the young were
vitiated by looking with admiration
upon corruption in high places, Ami,
mosties We're engendered which viii
embarrass the progress of the race
for generations to come. Nor can II
be said that the professional negro pol,
itician, from the days of reconstruction
until now, has been of any lasting
benefit to his race. 1t retiring from
the active field of politics and direct
ing the energy which has hitherto dis
sipated over the political area into pro,
ductive channels, and striving to builC
up the people in moral, mental and ma.
terial directions, the negro will moi
only be moving along the line Of least

resistance, but OF the greatest useful
ness also"
on the other hand, this incisive writ
er points out that in the final adjust
ment of causes and consequences the
victims of violence and outrage will
suffer less than the perpetrators of
them. "The last Mr.. Douglass" says
he, was fond of prophesying that, in
course OF time, the so-called negro
problem would be looked upon as es-
sentially the white mans problem.
Daily occurrences are making the truth
of this prophecy more and more APP
parent The white race represents the
dominant element in all parts of this
country, and is responsible to the en-
lightened conscience of the civilized
world for the suppression and punish
ment of crime, the maintenance of
law and order and the continuance OF
a peaceful regime This is the white
mans side of the question. That he is
the inevitable ruler of the south no one
any longer questions. But Is he not
answerable to the enlightened opinion
of mankind to rule in justice and
equity? If he does not protect life
and property and maintain law and
social order, what becomes of his
boasted right to rule? The doctrine Of
the divine right of race is no more
sacred or acceptable to the common
sense of mankind than its twin rela-
tive, the divine right of kings but
both must be submitted to the human
test of practical fitness and efficiency.
Although the white race has the pow
er, it must prove it's right to rule by
ruling right"
The conscience of the nation is pow
erful enough, when aroused. both to
educate the negro, to provide means
for his peaceful employment in indus
trial pursuits and to require of the
whites who assume political superior
ity that they shall prove their right
by ruling right" The conscience of
the nation must be aroused

with other countries for its own markets
and began to compete with them for the
markets of the world. That mighty
change altered the relation of the Amcri-
can people to itself and the world, and
draGs a whole train of novelties in fiscal
policy, foreign policy ami policy OF DO
nestle government after It. IL eNncts
already new views of tariff and rc'cnue
legislation; it has changed the Aiucrlcan
point Ct view Of foreigners, whom we
are TO regard hereafter as buyers moro
than sellers: 1t ras altered our view of
diplomacy, which is TO be practical
thing hereafter, relating to commercial
opportunities and industrial openings: 1t
presents the whole world to us as a field
for the exercise of our national energy.
q
This Is the parting of the ways which
is important, and we passed 1T almost
without seeing it. The question of po-
litical expansion and colonial develop
ment would have little vitality but
for this thrilling sense of social expan-
sion and Industrial development behind 1t.
The political question Is secondary to and
dependent on the social. We shall take
on no new burdens and responsibilities
abroad unless the American people shalI
be convinced that the new exigenctes or
national life require It. We shall pur-
sue our own national interest as shrevd-
ly as We did in our century of internal de-
vclopment, and shall not adopt new the
ories of national policy urlcSs 1t is clear
that new conditions require It. But ii is
too late to talk about choosing the new
conditions They are here, and our ma
tional life must be shaped to them.
