 The advance of yesterday was totally wiped out in today's trading The principal feature to the rally yesterday was un- favorable reports from Texas and a better feeling abroad. Today's weather reports were more favorable, and although Liver pool sympatihized in early cables to our yesterdays advance, later cables were low CT. and sensitive to the feeling on this side Liquidation was feature and there was little trading outside of it and lower prices followed by dulness, left closing prices at the extreme lowest.

FALSE ECONOMY.
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
The reluctance of Congress to
push forward the coast forti6ca-
tions proves that the sound bust
ness principles which govern men
in the conduct of their private
business are too often forgotten or
violated in the administration of
public affairs.
No one who is entitled to speak
intelligently on the subject denies
that the wealthy cities on the Uni
ted States seaboard are at the mer-
cy of an attacking feet. Our
coastline is 80 extensive and the
number of ships in our navy is re-
latively SO limited that every one
of our seaports should be in posi-
ton to repel, unaided by the fleet,
hostile attack. At present not
one of them could do this. Ad-
mirable as are the plans of fortifi-
cation drawn up by the War De-
partment, they still exist, thanks
to the indifference of Congress,
largely upon paper.
Adequate Notifications are to the
protected city what insurance is to
a building. No good business man
would think of putting up facto-
ry without placing an adequate
insurance upon it. No nation in
the world but one would dream OF
allowing its wealthiest cities to lie
exposed to the attack of any petty
state that can afford to buy a cruz
ser or two from foreign and com
petitive nations that are only toe
ready to furnish them. Looked al

the interest of the improvement
and elevation of the negroes. He
| is a believer in practical education
for his race; that they should be
taught to work, taught agriculture
and the several trades to which
they mainly devote themselves,
rather than be given an academic
or professional education. AS the
result of his administration the
Tuskegee Institute has become the
largest and most prominent negro
school in the South, nucleus for
a system of education that will i'm
prove the race by making it more
productive, and turning its atten-
ton in that direction where it is
most likely to be successful.
Booker Washington has always
steered clear of politics, and in
writing to the Louisiana Constltu-
tional Convention on the subject
of the suffrage he declares that he
has no desire to intrude in it or to
meddle with affairs which do not
concern him. He is merely pre-
senting his views, entirely unpar-
tisan, from the standpoint of the
negro as to the limitation of the
suffrage. He has two propositions:
First, that the suffrage clause
should be fair and just, making no
race distinction, but being based
on property, education, or both,
giving whites and blacks an equal
opportunity to earn the franchise.
Second, that if an educational
qualification is required, the State
should provide better for the pu-
bile schools, 30 as to give every
man a chance to earn the suffrage.
We do not imagine that there is
any great difference of opinion on
this point. The president of the
Tuskegee Institute is only repeat
ing what Senator George said in
S the Mississippi Constitutional Con
vention, what he then insisted
: should be made part of the Con
, stitution of that State, and which
- was made a part of it that Missi
: ssippi should guarantee every
youth in it's limit common schoo
2 education, and give him a chanc'

prisinE Pennsylvania.

Travelling men who pass through
East Pennsylvania cities when looking
over the local newspapers are frequent
" surprised al the quantity of flowers
which are mentioned in the published
accounts of funerals of people not in
public life. In many of the cities the
business of drumming up the funeral
flower trade is quite scientifically done.
\ funeral flower trade drummer told

says the New York Sun.

AFGHAN NEW WOMAN,
Told the Ameer She Wanted Free d ON
and She Got 1t, Along with
Male Dress.

The new woman has penetrated even
to the harem of the ameer of Afghan
istan, where she wears male attire and
does as she pleases, says the Ladies'
Pictorial.
The ameer picked her up on his re-
turn Journey from the northern part of
his dominions a good many years ago.
She had been brought before him by an
angry father and proposed husband for
punishment. She would not conform
10 the usage of the country and enter
the married state, though she had then
reached the age when 1t was incum-
bent upon her to do so.
The girl declared she had run wild
all her life, and did not wish to give up
her freedom, to be shut up in a harem.
She sought the ametr's protection and
obtained il.
"All right" he said. "since you want
to be free you shall be, but free you
must also remain; that is your punish
ment. You wish to live like a man
you shall live like one, and for your
own protection you must wear mems
clothes"
On her arrival in Cabul she was given
the title of older or chief, and was
made the harem's messenger. She
dered. both by night and day. and nc
che even in slanderous Cabul has ever
breathed a word against her fair name
