occurred from various reasons, although
by the time the school is thoroughly set
tied, these things will all be ia readiness
for use.
Librarian Simpson is busily engaged
in arranging and cataloguing the books
in the new library. This department of
the institution is far better than the dark,
crowded library of old. The room is a
large one, with plenty of light and is di-
vided into two parts, the one containing
The books, periodicals, and Office OF the
| librarian and the other being the reading
room for the patrons of tile library.
| The books are to be arranged systemat-
ically and in such way that anyone de-
string book on any subject can readily
| and easily find it. The same rules that
have governed the library in the past
will bein force in the future, with the
exception of the one allowing tete-a-tetes
behind the alcoyes, such performances
will be forbidden by Librarian Simpson
and will be conducted exclusively ia the
halls OR on the grounds.
The lecture rooms both in the admin
istration building and in the hall of me.
chanical arts have been provided with
the latest model university chairs.
These seats are not only more comfort
able than the old ones, but they are pro-
vided with an arm-board OH which the
student can take the notes of the lecture.
The heating plant is as yet quite dis
tance from completion, delay on the
work being caused by so much inclement
weather during the summer months, and
by the builders being unable to secure
their material on time; but by the time
the cool weather arrives the new heating
plant will be in operation and will prove
itself far better than the old.
Prof. Coote and his assistants are busy
getting the flower pots of the conserva-
tories in the best possible order, every
thing seems all bud and bloom, and the
sweet fragrance of the many blooming
beauties makes the flower gardens and
Conservatives of the OAC as exh1lerat-
ing place as one could visit.
The hall of mechanical arts, new,
beautiful and up-to-date, is ready for it's
long years of work in having the young
idea taught within its walls, the practical
methods of mechanics and mechanical
engineering. In fact everything at the
college has been so greatly improved dur
ng the past few years that an cid gradu
ate has ample cause for envy of those
who are now entering to take advantage
of the many excellent accessories that
the OAC affords.
But may the good work continue, we
are glad to see it, and every dollar spent
in the interest of our college is iudicious
ly expended. We are proud of the OAC
and still more glad to know that each
and everyone OWE an interest in it.

RACE PREJUDICE, NORTH AND
SOUVH.-A NORTHERN VIEW.

Our colored breaGheren are Just now
receiving q great deal OF very excellent
gratuitous advice. They are told,
among other things, to learn to be car
penters, masons, plasterers, black
smiths, tailors and to become masters
Of other h~andicrafts. Will their benev,
client advisers inform the black men
how they are to break through the
trades unions, and from apprentices
become skillful mechanical la the
first place, the blocks have few oppoT
tunities to learn mechanical craftf &;
and, in the second place, it is doubtful
whether the most skillful colored me
chanics could obtain remunerative EN-
p!oy ment in the North, such is the pre-
JUDGE of race in this section of the
country. Whatever may be said of
the re C conflict in the S0uth, it is a
matter of common observation that
there is much less prejudice against
the employment Of colored mechanics
in the South than there is in the North.
A black man can occasionally become
a skillful mason or bricklayer in the
South, but in the North he rarely gets
farther than carrying the hod.-Phila

have classes in Civil Government in

for our teachers to be we'll informed

CONVICTS ON THa PUBLIC
ROADS.

Prof. EoImes Calls Attention to an I'm
portant Provision of the New Road
Law.
Jurisprudence of the Progressive Farmer.
North Carolina is taking the lead
among the States using short term
convicts on public road improvements
There are probably two dozen counties
in this State that not only use their
own short term convicts but draw con
victs from adjoining countries. 1t
will be Of interest to the commission,
ers in all the counties that are either
now using convicts in this way, or an
ticipate doing so during the present
year, to know that the new general
road law, which these counties have
adopted or can adopt in part or as a
whole at the June meeting Of the com.
missioners. in section 9 provides that
when the commissioners Of any county
shall have made provision for support
ing a large number Of convicts, that
they can obtain from their own county,
that they have the right to draw con-
victs, the terms of sentence of which
do not exceed ten years, from any
county or counties mot so using their
convicts) in the same or adj lining
judicial districts; and that the coEvicts
ere to be sentenced by the judges of
the Superior and Criminal Courts in
response to the applications from the
county commissioners in the order in
which the applications are received,
consequently, it would be we'll for the
county commissioners to take this
matter into consideration and act upon
it at their first meeting in June.
Several copies of this road law have
been mailed to the register of deeds in
every county, and additional copies of
the law may be had on application to
the writer.
hope that the time will soon come
when every convict in N Jrth Car lima
whose term does not exceed ten years
will be at work on the public roads in
sCme OF these couotiea.
Copies Of applications for convicts
should be addressed TO the judges Of
the Superior and Criminal Courts at
every county seat within the same or
adjoining Judicial districts and sent in
care Of the clerk Of the court az each
county seat. Forms OF application
will be furnished by the writer on re
quest, j. A HOLMES.

The MA EFT INVESTIGATION.

The testimony offered to the Maz9t

ALTGELD'S VIEWS.

At the meeting of the Ohio Valley
League of Bimetallic Clubs held in
Louisville, KY, last week, Ex Gov,
ernor J. P. Altgeld, of illinois, was
presented. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed when the Illinois statesman
arose to address the convention, the
delegates rising to their feet, waving
hats and cheering Justify. He spoke in
part as follows:
''The evils that result from the gold
Standard have not been exaggerated or
o~verstated. Time has sustained the
bimetallist, and that man makes a fatal
mistake who thinks that the American
people are ready to abandon this cause,
and inasmuch as the abandonment OF
the ratio practically amounts to the
abandonment Of the cause the politi'
can makes a fatal mistake who thinks
that the ratio can be abandoned with
out disintegrating and destroying the
Democratic party. For every score OF
wealth worshipping gold Democrats
who would be brought to Jul standard
by such an abandonment Of prin,
ciples, ten thousand men Of deep
convictions would leave US
But the money question is not the
only great question that contronts
us. There is the greater question of
Of government by Injunction, a sys
tenn under which a FEDERAL judge cleo
ted to eff 3e by corporation influences,
strikes down the right to free speech
and with a contemptuous wave of the
hand, brush, S aside the right of trial
by jury, that bulwark of English lib
erty, at the mere rec lest of a corpo-
ration agent.
The temptation offered by corrupt
capital being too great for the ordinary
man to withstand, it is evident that
as long as these temptation s are offered
they will be effective. By the estab.
lishment of the system Of initiative
and referendum, the fruits of bribery
could be taken away and thus the in
ducament to bribe would be destroyed.
For a quarter of a century both
political parties have denounced cor
porations, trusts and monopolies.
Nearly every State in the Union has
~legislated against them, The Federal
Government has legislated against
them, yet in spite of this denunciatioo,
in spite of all this legislation, they
have gone on multiplying. The trusts
are masters Of the situation. They
have come to stay and ther efore, it is
the mission and the duty Of the Dem,
ocratic party to secure the benefit of
the monopoly for the public, for the
people, that means municipal and gov
rnmeDtelowership of all monopolies
which it Is practical for a Government
as yet to control"

epeaking, but did not address the au
