BISHOP TURNER, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, urges that congress ap- prOpriate one hundred million dollars to establish line of steamships to Africa in order to enable such negroes as desire to emigrate to Africa to go cheaply. He says
 he does not want the government to carry the emigrants free, but ut Q reasonable cost. It is strange how this proposal is brought
 up from time to time after its death has
 been announced over and over again. There is not the slightest possibility of any large proportion or any considerable number, of the negroes ever going to Africa. The scheme
 has been tried, and failed. The negro does not want to emigrate and if there should be forced movement the colonists would not in the nature of things be self-supporting
 The suggestion has been discredited so often that 1t Is hard to see why some of the lead- CTS of the race so persistently cling to it. It Is quite possible that in Cuba and Porto Rico there lies a field that the negro might profit ably cultivate. This is worth thinking about at any rate. But it is highly probable that the United States must gradually work out the salvation of the negro within hor own territory, an ] the negro to that end should forget the statement of the declaration of independence that all men are born equal The negro has his work to do in the world There have been and are men among them that rank with the worlds leaders. But whether right or wrong on ethical and moral grounds the white man of the south will Devcr permit the negro to dominate politi- ca)ly, nor will he admit him to equal social position. This is a condition that must be met. and all the laws on the statute books will not change the situation. The negro race must develop from within, not from without. Education, especially along i'm dnstrial lines, and competent leadership from men of their own race, will gradually uplift the negroes to plane of industrial, political and social freedom, but never to point where the white man will recognize equality. The negro will never be benefited by the work of leaders within the race who arc always melting retaliation for the crimes of the white man against them, nor by those who urge wholesale emigration, nor by those who preach a false equality which, however. pretty in theory, does not exist in fact and to extend industrial educ ation, teaching hand and brain together, showing the ne- groOs whore they can be of the greatest use to the country and to themselves, and, &C., | eepting conditions ns they are, urges the ne- ' groes to let politics alone for awhile-that leader is the one who will truly become a Moses to lead his dark skinned brothers to q promised land of inward contentment and outward prosperity.-El Paso Herald.

It was in the good old days when the narrator of this story was regarde,t as quite a respectable young man, in the beautiful city of Philadelphia. He was young and innocent in those halcyon days, and the first dinner party he went to puzzled him just Il little. In Lhe best parlor were assembled about a dozen of the finest ladies that Philaiel- phia had ever produced, and they were gotten up--or down in the most deco lete style. "Guess I've gotten into the wrong room!' he murmured to one of the servants. "flow's that?" "Isn't this the baby-feeding department?" he asked, an then fed, feeling sure that he was not wanted there.-Ex.

RESULTS.
A Short Review of The Results O1
The Late Legislative Session.

difficult to follow each bill through
its devious windings, and oftimes
before passage is lost. Hence we
make a brief review that our
readers may have better under
standing of what has taken place,
leaving out such acts as are not of
interest to our readers.
The special session last October,
although it reduced the legal rate of
interest in the state at E per cent,
leaving the contract rate undis-
turbed, cid not repeal the require
ment that the state school fund
must be loaned at 8 per cent. Un-
able to loan the funds at lower
rate there accumulated in the state
treasury more than So, 900, 900 that
could not be loaned out. The
regular session reduced the rate to
E per cent, which is an invariable
rate, and this vast sum of money
will Immediately pass into circula-
ton and finally fix the customary
rate of interest in Oregon at E per
cent. School funds now drawing
8 per cent, may be refunded at E
per cent. The law was amended
after a severe legislative conflict of
parts of three days.
The nickel-in- the-slot bill was
passed, but through loss of the
original file after it reaches the
house, a copy of the bill was sub
stituted and some doubt exists as
to the validity of the law. The
law prohibits the use of the nickel
in-the-slot machine.
The clerk of the supreme court
was placed on a salary of $4,000.
All fees are to be turned into the
judiciary fund of the state treasury.
This will be large saving to the
state, as the income of the Office is
variously estimated at from six to
ten thousand dollars per year.
The law governing school fund
loans was modified SO that the
lands coming to the state by fore
closure, deed or other wise will be
cared for and looked after in a
business like manner. and in this
connection lieu lands were with.
drawn from sale for a period ot
years to prevent their being bought
up by syndicates at ridiculously
low figures, as has been done ir
the past.
The school laws we're modified
in such a manner as to raise the
standard of teachers by preventing
chartered institutions and norma
schools of the state from issuing
life and state diplomas and b,
4 raising tie age and qualifications o
q teachers in the schools.

y contest, and to have been the bit
. terest ever waged over legislativ,
matter in Oregon. This is prob
ably the most important bit oflegis
" lation passed in many years in tn,
state.

counties of the state have made
their present assessment with refer
ence to paying as little state tax as
possible. This will work a hard
ship on counties who will not avail
themselves of this opportunity to
beat the state. The result will
surely be a reaction that, it is to be
feared, will re-enact the expensive
and cumberous board repealed a
few months ago. Under the old
law the state was paying through
its counties thousands of dollars
annually for needless copies of the
assessment rolls for the secretary
of states use in making the state
tax levy. This law was amended
so as to cut off this expense with
out impairing the service.
An act making the road super
visor elective by the people of the
various districts has long been in
demand and it goes into effect in
1900. r.
At last a law governing clerk
hire in the Legislature was passed.
Of course it begins to operate with
the next session. 1t is a reasonable,
sensible law. providing only the
few clerks absolutely necessary and
taking their appointment out of the
hands of individual members.
An act regulating the amount of
printing to be done by the state
printer was passed as part of the
appropriation bill. 1t limits the
amount of printing to the legal
requirements. Custom more than
law it seems has long governed the
amount of printing done for the
various officers and heads of depart
ments.
A registration law that is said to
meet constitutional requirements
while it is very effective act and
comparatively inexpensive was
passed. Under this law all voters
must register in order to be eligible
to vote at any general elections.
This law met with no opposition
upon its final passage, although it
was vigorously opposed at the out
set. -
A reapportionment bill was
passed that changed the representa-
tion in the Legislature of the various
counties. This was done to keep
pace with the constitutional require
ments. The basis for house mem
bers is 5000, and for senators
1900. Polk county with popu-
lation of e,2oo in 1895 gets one
senator, one representative and a
joint representative with Lincoln
county. The constitution reouires
the representation to be based on
the census of 1895. 1t is generally
believed that in this reapportion-
ment Polk county Jared better than
any other county in Oregon. East
ern and Southern Oregon suffered
most in the reapportionment.
A strenuous effort was made to
pass in modified form the mort
gage tax law. 1t passed the house
but lacked three votes in the SEN
ate. AS the Objectionable features
OF the old law were eliminated the
bill should have passed.
Tax legislation difficult near the
close OF the session, as an effort to
amend the assessment law was op.
posed by those interested in the
Multnomah tax collector bill, lest
1t might be interferred with by any
subsequent act having general ap-
Plication. Otherwise the three
