A bill has been offered in the Pennsyl-
vania legislature Ito abolish book
agents" Just what the peculiar crime
of the book agent is the bill does not
state. AS long as "the lightning rod"
"the patent rake,' and 1.-The patent
churn" men are loose, it looks as if a
few good books might still be sold with
out danger to public morals.

The losses of life by epidemics and
famine reported throughout the world
in 1897 have aggregated 222,9o2. OF
these it is estimated that 100000 sue
cumbed to the plague in India and $780,
900 from famine, the result of Weyler's
concentration policy in Cuba. Some of
the estimates of American consuls in
Cuba place the loss of life from starva-
ton in the island at still higher figure.

The statistics of lynchings in the
United States during 1897 indicate that
this reprehensible crime continues to
flourish in spite of the well-meant ef-
forts in some parts Of the country to
stamp it out. The whole number of
lynchings for the year amounted to 166,
against 131 in 1896. Of those occurring
during the last year 146 were in the
south and 20 in the northern staies, 1922
of the victims being negroes, 80 whites
and Indians

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
RESOLUTION.
EDUCATION.

There is need of closed unity and
articulation among our educational
institutions, and sensible adaptation
of their courses to the instruction give
in the public schools. The industrial
schools should adopt, graded and uni
forM courses of instruction; and it is
suggusted that Hampton and Tus-
kegee be utilized as the basis of
this uniformity.
The negro teacher needs complete
general preparation in the best ap-
proved methods Of instruction, and
beside, thorough understanding OF
and sympathy with the peculiar needs
and circumstances of negro life, and
we need more such teachers. Music
education is especially important to
the negro child. Our ancestors
sang away they sorrow during the
dark days of ofslavary. The cultivation
Of the melodic gift in their descendents
will not only encourage cheerfulness
of opposition, but will lead to the un-
foldment of their esthetic capabilities,
and the incubation of sound moral
principles and patrioic sentiment.
The establishment of kindergarten
instruction in some IF the large cities
is high encouraging; and we urge its
universal introduction. The kinder
garten must be relied upon to supply,
in part at least, the lack of home in
f1uences, to extend the benifcience of
wholesome instruction lower down in

FUTURE OF THE NEGRO RACE
From the Literary Digest.

From the Literary Digest.
In discussing this question, The Ned
icaL Times, New York JULY reminds
US that in the days of the Colonization
Society which was formed to settle the
slavery question by removing all the
negroes TO Africa, DR.. Horace Bush
nell, the eminent New England divine,
maintained that if the white and
black race should continue to live side
by side in this country the stronger
would inevitably drive out the weaker.
Says the writer:
'In this connection the mortuary
reports of some of our cities are OF
marked Interest. In March, 1898, the
death-rateS for whites in Baltimore
was TO 852; for negroes, I to 3S5. In
Nashville, for the month of March the
death-rate for whites was to SIS: for
negroes I to $50. Statistics OF other
cities with large colored population
show similar results. 1t is a question
whether, notwithstanding all the ef-
forts which are being made TO improve
the condition of the colored race by
education and facilities for renumer-
alive labor, the colored race, as race
in the United States, is doomed, by

HENRY DEMAS.

The people of this country are
anxiously waiting for the re-
appointment of Hon. Henry Demas
as naval officer at the Port of
New Orleans, La. We understand
that Ex-Governor Kellogg has as
sured the President that no more
opposition will be made to any
more Louisiana appointments. The
appointment Of Mr.. Wimberly is
no surprise to US, because it is un-
derstood that a compromise has
been made by the appointment of
two Of the opposition faction.
The charges against Mr.. VIM
berly were more serious than those
against Mr.. Demas, not saying
thar any of them are true. Mr..
Kellogg, we are informed, has with.
drawn the charges against Mr..
Vim berly and his confirmation is
assured. In view of this we be-
lieve that the President viii reap
point Mr.. Demas and see that he
is confirmed. The President has
a precedent for this to wit, in the
case of Hon. James G. Matthews
of Albany. He was rejected by
the Senate and then renominated
by Mir. Cleveland. We believe
that the President will stand by
Demas.
