ADMIRAL AMMEN.

Rear Admiral Ammen died at the
navy hospital in Washington on July
18th, aged seventy-eight years. He
was regarded in Washington as a
crank in the matter of the Nicaragua
Canal Having made himself familiar
with the details of its construction, he
undertook to persuade Congress to
adopt his views and furnish the money.
He attended the Senate and the House
faithfully. button-hOled members, was
always courteous and persistent. He
advocated the annexation of Hawaii,
because he believed in the extension
of commerce. He bitterly complained
of the refusal of Congress to aid in can
al construction, and always claimed
that the people were in advance of the
Government This was not true. 1t
was difficult for him then, and it is
difficult now to interest the people in
future gains and benefits The policy
of the dOminent party had incidentally
destroyed our commercial marine, or
prevented it's growth.
The Admiral did not see that when
the national policy encouraged inter
nal trade at the expense of foreign
trade, it was not easy to interest the
people in canal that would vastly
benefit the trades of other Nations. He
saw, and others with him also saw,
that the time would soon come when
the growing foreign trade would effect
the great internal industries, and its
needs should be anticipated, by the
construction of the canal. But the
eyes of the people were fixed, as they
had been, for half a century on the
development of the domestic indus
tries. The merchant and the manu-
facturer naturally asks why he should
bother himself about working for the
construction of canal that will put
money in somebody else's pocket for
some time to come.
The Admiral thought better of the

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST COLOR.

Persons who like to alarm the ma
tives and half-castes by suggesting that
they occupy an inferior social posi-
ton. are circulating a garbled report
that the Court of Appeals of some State
holds that the negroes may be exclud-
ed from the public schools. The state
ment is incorrect and misleading, and
is due to ignorance Of the real scope
of the decision. Only by some effort
have we been able to find the decision
upon which the rumor is based, and
it is, we presume, a case recently de-
cided by the Maryland Court of APP
peals.
The decision is that private school
has the right to refuse admission to
colored pupils solely on the ground of
color. 1t holds also that d white per-
son may also be refused admission to
a private school.
The colored people claimed that un-
der the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution they could send their
children TO any private schools. This
Amendment, adopted after the Civil
War, is, in part that mo State shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States and
further; nor shall any State deny to
any person within it's jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws"
The colored people were advised by
some lawyers that all this meant that
white people, in all things. But the
opinion of the Court is that no State
can pass any law that discriminates
between the whIte and cOlOred man.
But if colored man refuses to sell
food to a white man because he is a
white man, the Court cannot make him
sell it. And on the other hand if a
white man opens a private school, he
can exclude from it any class of people
he may fancy to exclude, whether
they are GeImans, French. Spanish or
Russians or colored.
If, for instance, a native should es
tablish a private school in a remote
district, and without any support from
the Government, he would have the
right to exclude the Japanese if he
chooses to do so.
The question of public schools is
quite different. No State can pass any
law making a discrimination on ac
count of color, in any way whatever,
regarding public schools. Nor can any
territorial government do so. Congress
also is expressly forbidden to make
any discrimination.
So far, therefore, the natives need
not feel disturbed in the least about
any discrimination against them by
the laws of Congress or of the terri
tory.
The reasons which prevail for the
exclusion of the Chinese from our
country, have nothing to do with color.
The Japanese are still admitted freely
under the laws and they are of the
same color as the Chinese. 1t is almost
impossible that there. should be any
exclusion OF the natives from the
franchise, although it may be qualified
for all classes.

canal was his good anchor, which he

fathoms of chain, but he died before

A few years ago. when Evangelist
Moody was preaching in the slums OF
a large city. he was delayed in leaving
the hall till late in the evening. Ihe
exit was in back street. and as he
left the building he found number OF
roughs waiting to annoy him. AS he
walked along he heard them say,
Here he comcsr' and they prepared
to jostle him from the sidewalk. Going
straight up TO the ring-ieader, Mr.
Moody held out his overcoat, and, with
self-possession that commanded com
plcte respect. said:
MY friend. won't you just help me
on with this overcoat: | am not quite
so active now as | was at your age,
and some day, when you are as old as
| am. I'll be glad TO do you the same
favor.
No bully was ever more completely
taken back with surprise. He held the

it. and then thanking the young man

Moreover. all brutal tendencies will

Meanwhile we have no leaders. and
