A REFUGE FOR NEGROES.
The Island of Hayti May Serve to
Help Settle Racial Troubles of
This Country.

An experience OF third of a century
since the war has shown that the white
and black races in the southern states
will never harmDnize, says the Chicago
Tribune. The recent injustices infict-
ed upon the blacks in North Carolina
are but one item in situation prevail
Ing all over the south. To certain de-.
gree Bishop Turner is right when he
says there is no manhood future" for
his race in these states. 1t would be to
the mutual advantage of both whites
and blacksif all the dissatisfied negroes
in the cotton states could be induced 10
go to some country where they could
live their own life and develop in their
own way
The world has not failed to note
what poor stagger the blacksof Hayti
have made at development during the
century of independence which they
have enjoyed since they got rid of the
French and Spanish yokes. But this is
the fault of the people and not of the Is
land. There is no better or more con,
veniept country in the world for the
American negroes to emigrate to than
this same rich and luxuriant island of
Hayti. If our disconnected southern
negroes cannot improve and progress
there. winning for themselves an in
crease of wealth and of comfort. then
they cannot do it in Africa or anywhere

THE COST CT WAR.

The destruction of stores and cloth.

In time of war France puts $40 out
of every 1000 of her population in the
Geld; Germany, $40; Russia, 21O
During the last few months of the
civil war the expenses of the govern.
ment exceeded $3.O0O.0O0 day
The cost of cur navy during the civil

100000; 1864, $4,000, 900; 1865, $122,.
100000.
Over 100000 French women were
made widows aud 100000 French chill
dren fatherless by Napoleon's cam

The expense of the war department
in 1862 was $394,OOO, 900; in 1868, $500 :

In times of war the armies of Euro

SLEEPING MACHINES.
Ingenious Mechanical Apparatus for
Bringing About the Condition

Experiments have been made recent
ly with some curious devices in the
shape of sleep machines" Sleep will
sometimes result from fatigue of the
eyes. Looking at trees or other objects
as we rush along in the train will fire.
quently 'send us off"
Aningenious gentleman has produced
a machine for this purpose. 1t is q box
surmounted by two fanlike panels. one
above the other, revolving horizontally
in opposite directions. These panels
are studded with mirrors that throw
upon the retina vibrating flood Of
twinkling light.
A similar effect is produced by star
ing at bright ball placed high above
the head, so that some slight strain is
caused by staring at it.
Another apparatus for causing
drowsiness is formed of clamps for
squeezing the arteries leading to the
brain. The clamps remain, in position
for less than half a minute, and by that
time the sufferer from insomnia has
been placed in a state of somnolence
by the decreased flow of blood to the
brain.
Still another method is to arrange an
electric battery in the bed SO that mild
current acts upon the spine.

THE COLOR LINE IN CUBA.
Some Rubbing of 1t Will Have to BE
Done Before a Stable Govern
ment Is Formed.

There will have to be some rubbing
of the color line if the good people Of
Cuba-the natives of all shades, the
Spanish Cubans and the other residents
OF foreign descent-combine to form
stable government. tits estimated that
about 40 per cent. of the people of Cuba
are colored. Under universal suffrage
they would control many parts of the
island. To an American or Spaniard
this is rather an alarming condition for
new state to face. 1t does not worry
the Cubans in the least. There is pTac-
tically no color line among the Cubans
proper. 1t is not an uncommon thing
to find families of white Cubans in
which cousin, nephew or an aunt is
Enthusiastically colored. Nor is African
blood bar to the finest Cuban society,
provided the person is descended on one
side from family of honorable connec-
tons. says the Cincinnati Times-Star
The Spaniard. however. draws a dis
tinct difference between the African
blood he may have Inherited from
Moors and the colored admiXture in
Cuba. In general way he classes all
Cubans as negroes, and refers 10 all
the Cuban struggles for freedom as
"nigger uprisings." He notes with sur
prise that we hold radical views some
what similar to his in Illinois and North
Carolina, yet are honestly preparing to
turn Cuba over TO the Cubans.
