Advantages OF Hudson to New York

Advantages of Hudson to New York.
Reasoning Out Metropolis" is the
title of an article on the Greater New
York, written by Ernest Ingersoll for
the st. Nicholas. In speaking of the
growth of cities during the early part
of the century, Mr.. Ingersoll says:
How could New York double its pop
ulatlon in fifteen years, and beat its
great rival, Philadelphia, when the lat
ter was surrounded by far wider belt
of rich farms and populous towns? II
was due primarily TO the fact that
Robert Fulton brought here his steam
boat, and that New York men knew
how to take advantage Of the inven-
ton. Philadelphia, also, had the steam
boat, you will reply. Yes; but she did
not have the Hudson River.
The Hudson had from the first been
an advantage to New York, because II
afforded a highway for $50 miles in
land, and thus had greatly aided in the
early settlement of the interior of the
State and of Western New England
By the improvement OF the stea mboat
river travel at once became SO CHEAP
and speedy that the country dealers
and the farmers themselves could g
straight down to New York, to buy
goods or do their shopping at frs
hand. This brought great deal o.
new business, both wholesale and re
tail, to New York, some of which wal
taken away from its rival cities. More
over, the steamboats, and towboats less
ened the cost of bringing building ma
terials, grain, hay, meat, and all tn
country grown food found in city mar
kets, and therefore lessened the ex
pense and increased the comfort of liy
ing and working here.

An Ideal Shattered.

The resignation OF Professor Andrews
from the superintendency of the public
schools of Chicago is but the shattering
Of another ideal
For years it has been evident in many
large cities that the patronage connect
ed with employing school teachers was
abused in the interest of partisan poll
tics. But q few years ago this scandal
had attained such growth in st. Louis
that it was common to trade about
teachers positions for so many votes. The
result was that the teaching force be-
came thoroughly demoralized as we'll as
incompetent, and that the interest Of
public education was being sacrificed to
the demand of corrupt politicians. The
same fact is true Of Chicago, where the
evil had grown to such proportions that
some remedy was sought.
Thoughtful men got together and de-
manded that there had to be a reform,
at least as far as the schools were con
cerned The board of education of that
city, composed largely of mere creatures
OF political bargaining, finding it impos-
sible to resist the new movement. took
heroic measures to head it off. They
proposed the selection of Professor An
drews, of Brown university, as superin
tondent. This was readily acceptable
to those who We're Interested in school
reform and they at once united and
prevailed upon the professor to accept
the position. Before he did so, how
ever, he insisted that as he would be re-
spOnsible for the results Of teaching
work. he should have the right to name
the teachers Even this demand was
agreed to, and Professor Andrews found
himself snugly enscoused in the duties
of his office.
1t did not take long, however, for the
clOven foot of politics to intrude itself.
The new superintendent found himself
handicapped on every side. While he
would be permitted to name the teachers
yet it was insisted that he should enter
into log-rolling, the result Of which
would be the choice Of some other mans
favOrte rather than of his own good
judgment To this insinuation Professor
Andrews objected, and when he sent in
the list of teachers for the coming year
he did so as a matter of final action,
instead Of merely submitting it to the
board.
The friction which has thus been
raised has established the fact that pol
itics still rules the rOost, and that high
ideas of civil service and reform must be
set aside While the board is willing
for Professor Andrews to pose as a
head-pie for their institution, it is not
willing that the benefit Of his honesty,
his good sense and his scholarship
should be felt by the public schools. Be-
ing thus thwarted in the fulfllment of
the work for which he went TO Chicago,
Professor Andrews refuses longer to be
considered as its head, and has rendered
his resignation, which he will INSIST upon
unless the board gives up all claims to
the patronage which they have hitherto
been dispensing.
The Atlanta constitution., 1898-12-12

a. still better account of himself in
other directions. Why do we say this?
Because we do not want the negro 10
enjoy his political rights? Such, indeed,
would have been the inevitable interpre-
tatiOn of the suggestion d few years
ago: but ii is made because We want
the negro to take the fullest advantage
of the practical and material opportuni-
ties that offer themselves.
Now, he cannot take the fullest adyan-
tage of these opportunities as long as
he remains an active political partisan.
Such partisanship as the negro poll
ticians display may be depended on to
create more or less friction, and the
more friction there is, the fewer the op-
pcrtunites for him.
There have been conflicts between
the races, but how few in number COM
pared with the population, or with the
predictions or fears OF those who saw
nothing in the future of the negro but
a hopeless struggle against white enc
mics. The editor of The Sun pays a
deserved tribute to the situation as it
exists and to the condition of the ne
gro, which is far better than anybody
had the right to hope it would be.
AS Inc sun says, lue NlIte people oA
the south have every reason to desire
harmony between the races. If the
negroes at Wilmington who had charge
OF affairs had displayed any capacity
for governing or exercised any consider
alton toward those who own the proper
ty and pay the taxes, the trouble there
would not have developed as rudely as
it did. 1t is true that negro domination
is intolerable to the whites, but the af-
fair at Wilmington would have had q
different beginning if the negro rulers
had been conservative, considerate and
fair.
1t is for that reason We advise negroes
to let partisan politics alone, and ad-
dress themselves to the practical work
of building up the material interests Of
their race.
The Atlanta constitution., 1898-12-12

In the very nature of things. the islands
will become a part of the territory or the
United States When they are once the
property Of the republic. TO say other
wise is to set up q quibble instead OF Il
fact. We may not, indeed, give them
form Of government such as we nave
given in the past to other parts OF our
territory; but nevertheless we cannot
help from bringing them under our con-
sttutiOn. Congress has power to dis
pose Of such territory and to make all
needfu rules and regulations respecting
1t; but these things will have to be done
under the constitution and not OUTSIDE
of it. It may not be necessary or judi
cious to erect the Philippines into what
we call technically territory-a name
that we use for form of government
but whatever is done Will have to be
done within the constitution and not
outside of it.
AS congress is empowered to make
all needful rules and regulations respect
ing the territory or other property be-
longing to the United States" naturally
it has the power to make a different
tariff for different possessions, but the
"Open door" policy in the Philippines
will be an open blow to the principle Of
protection

Good Advice from q Bishop.

by far the best advice which has yet
been given the cojorod race comes from
Bishop j. W. Hood, OF the African
Methodist church.
Bishop Hoods views are especially to
bc commended because hc lives i'm North
Carolina, in the atorm-centcr of the
present agitation. and he is thus en-
uhlld TO speak adyiacdly. The occa-
sion upon which ne spoke was the an
uual conference at Carthage. IL am as

been discouraged or disturbed by the
events which have brought sadness,
gloom and sorrow to SO many hearts.
Looking for ~ cause Of the friction be-
tween the races. he found it in the iE-
noraucc of his own people, in their
weakness In accepting tue leadership OF
bad men and in the fact that they so
easily allow themselves TO ho led Into

Al Echo of Billbynumism

The Chicago Chronicle, which is afllict-
ed with the billbynum stripe of demo-
cracy, continues to worry itself about
the attitude of Georgia with respect to
the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues,
and it also continues to make Slanderous
references to the southern people, dis
playing, in the midst of much impotent
malice, an ignorance that would be pitt
able were it not ludicrous.
Referring TO the fact that the Georgia
Legislature has been considering a meas
ure intended to test the cOnstitutiOnality
Of this tax, The Chronicle asks: How
we are to account for it in the face Of
history?' in the face Of history? Does
the face" of history suggest that people
should rest quietly under an unconstitu-
tional restriction? The Chronicle doesn't
charge that Georgia contemplates a Wild
cat scheme. "but that she proposes to
break down the old barrier that keeps
back the wild confusion of circulating
note issues under the forty-siX different
laws Of as many states.
But if the barrier is unconstitutional
should it be allowed to stand? VIII states
that do nor need an addition to their
volume of currency be likely to establish
banks of issue? Or, if they establish
such institutions, is it not reasonable to
suppose that all the financial experience
which has been accumulated during the
war will be sufficient to induce them to
surround the banks with all the neces-
sary safeguards?
The ignorance of The Chronicle seems
to extend to all branches of this subject.
1t doesn't know that the wildcat banks
were not state banks, and it seems to be-
lieye that the notes Of such banks would
be fiat" money Why, fiat money is
the kind that people are compelled to
take in settlement Of a debt; legal-tender
money. The notes of state banks are not
legal-tender at all; they are not money;
they are simply promises " pay money,
and no person is required to accept them.
Their circulation would depend largely
on the character and standing of the men
managing the bank, and ON the laws uU-
der which the notes are issued.
The Chronicle has much to say about
a uniform" currency. Well, we have in
the grccnbacks a ituform currency. and
we venture to say that. when the issue
comes up the editor will be in favor Of
retiring this legal-tcndcr money. and
substituting therefor the notes Of banks.
More than that he will he willing to
place the whole control of the currency
in the hands of the banks. with power
to contract or expand it at their Will and
pleasure.

Change of Address.
The Presidents Message.

The message of the president of the
United States, read 90 both houses Of
congress Monday last, is disappoint-
ing document.
After all the important events Of the
past summer the people were led to eX-
peCt definite statement as to the re-
sponsiblities which we have assumed
as a result of the late war, as well as a
suggestion concerning the policies by
which We propose to be controlled.
For the first time in the history Of the
country our 0aS is waving over foreign
soil, with tho prospect of 4 continuance
there. What is to be done with these
new possessions? How are they to be
governed? What concessions, if any,
Will have to be made in order to admit
Of the retention of these countries? All
of these questions are far-reaching and
Of interest to our whole people.
Oar people have been used to reaching
Iegal conclusions through the joint ac-
tion of the president and of congress, yet
IN this important era, We find the presi-
dent and his cabinet moving along, max
ing history without asking cooperation
Of the legislative branch Of the govern
mont. as much as if TO say that they had
but little to do With it. The questions
Involved IN the possession and control
@, foreign soil are too deep to be con
s.dorcd lightly, and the best talent of

The Condition of the Negroes.

In his letter to The New York Sun, eX-
Governor Bullock said that there is no
recorded history of any race having
euualed the progress Of the negro from
slavery to the present day" and the ed
itor of that paper, although he is a par
tisan republican, declares that this re-
mark deserves the proud cOnsidera-
ton of every man of that race and of
all its we'll Wishers, and they include
the whole people of the United States
Of every color"
The one remark is as true as the other,
and both taken together show how re-
publican opinion on this question has
changed since it has been taken out Of
politics. The next step in advance will
be for the negro himself to get out of
partisan politics until he is able to give
