BOULEvARD'S BAD SHAPE
Sand Pits and Stones Make il
Dangerous for Drivers and
Bicyclists.

Repairs on the Greenvilie section OF the
Boulevard, though not completed, have
for some reason been stopped. A slight
improvement is noticeable on one side OF
the road, yet there are many bad spots
along the ~thoroughfare which are a con-
slant menace to the unwary cyclists.
Numberless loads OF stone and dressing
have been dumped upon the road, which
have been spread out and rolled without
accomplishing the object intended. Of
forming a smooth surface. The top dress
ing has a sandy appearance. and has
not that compactness and hardness of
finish which is essential to a good road.
1t appears as if the road had not been
properly rolled in some places, and as q
result small stones and the top dress
ing lie scattered over the surface Of the
r0ad. To avoid these spots, the eyclist
is compelled to do considerable lodging.
The west side of the road from the Gem
trail Railroad bridge to McAdoo avenue
has not as yet been treated to a coat Of
top dressing, which fact makes 1t neces-
sary for riders going in opposite direc-
tons to use the east side of the road,
thereby greatly Increasing the danger.
Naturally drivers also select the smooth
est side Of the road, which to the riy
going south is the wrong side. The fact
of cyclists and drivers riding on the
same side Of he read, but going IN OPP
posite directions. often results in great.
confusion Several serious accidents
have occurred from this cause, and it IS
a source of constant wonderment that ac-
cidents are not more frequent.
Piles Of sand washed by the rain from
the unimproved streets nave been all
lowed to accumulate on the surface of
the road. In some spots the sand covers
an area Of several square yards. and
vary in depth from one TO four inches.
Anyone unfortunate enough TO ride over
one of these sand piles would probably
sustain a severe fall.
The heavy wagons used for carting
stone n dressing to the Bayonne sec
ton of the B~oulesard, are partly re-
sponsible for the present condition of the
The wheels of these heavily load
ed trucks sink a considerable distance
into the road. badly cutting in that por-
ton of the road over which they pass.
The riding on the road has been very
light of late, owing to the many incon-
and dangers. The hotel pro-
prietors along the road are consequently
much d~isgruntied and are anxious for
the time to arrive when repairs will be
completed n its old time popularity re-
gained.

The Terrible Problem of the Negro
in the South,

For the conditions which exist in the
South today-conditions exempliaed in the
disorders at Darien-both blacks and
whites have to thank the Republican
party. The representatives of that party
used the passions which ragged immedi-
ately after the WA as a lever to thrust
the suffrage upon a race, generally as
unified for it as the inhabitants of a
South African kraal. Then armies Of
them went with their carpet-bags into the
reconstructed States and taught the ne
groes Incidence, sioth, resistance to white
opinion and white government.
The present generation is garnering the
terrible harvest that was then sown, and
there is little room for hope that the
present generation will see the end of it.
Left to themselves, the negroes END to
lapse into native savagery. The drift of
their nature is fully illustrated in the
present conditions of the West India
Islands, where they are STEPPED in the
lowest barbarism. They constantly drift
in the same direction in our Southern
States. and it is only because of the fact
that they cannot live absolutely without
work in the most luxuriant section of our
territory that we have been able to keep
any hold upon them at all.
If judicious legislation had prevailed
after their freedom was declared by
President Lincoln as a war measure,
much might nave been lone to prevent
the rae from going to the bad, whole
SALE They might nave been compelled to
work. They could certainly have been
held in such awe of the white population
as to curb, If not altogether e~xtirpate,
their tendency to brutal crimes. Perhaps
to acquire the gifts of civilization, might
have been admitted to citizenship, and
then those who gained it n those who
desired it would set a value upon it which
would be an incentive to good conduct.
As 1t is, the gift is so cheap that it only
promotes their insolent defiance of law
and decency-
1t is a grave question whether. in the
near future, the country will not be con-
fronted with the obligation Of again sub
5ugating this race, not to the condition
Of chattel slavery but to a subordinate
position in the political organization of
the country. The problem, as it confronts
us, presents enormous difficulties, but
certainly none greater than that of max
ing the Southern States peaceful and
prosperous, with the two races living side
by side in a condition of theoretical equal
ity as unnatural as impossible of actual
realization as a grouping together of men
and anes-
