HELPING THEMSELVES.

Some enterprising colored people of this
city who are interested in the uplifting
of their race are taking steps to secure
a school for those of the colored children
who cannot be accommodated in the pub
lie schools. They held a meeting on
Wednesday night and decided to rent the
colored Odd Fellows Hall on Duffy street.
That hall is very well located for the pur-
pose, and can be obtained at a very rea-
sonable rent. 1t is hoped that the Board
of Education will provide the necessary
teachers If the colored people furnish the
school house.
We do not, of course, know what the
Board of Education will do when the prop
ostion is presented to it, but we think It
will make a special effort to find money
with which TO supply the school with
teachers. 1t certainly ought to do so. This
attempt of the colored people-the first at
tempt as far as we know--to help them
selves in the matter of education, ought
to be given every possible encouragement
1t must not be understood, of course that
there are no schools for colored children
in the city and county. There are schools
for them, but the school Accommodate
are not sufficient for either the white. or
colored children. There are children of
both races that cannot get into the schools.
The city is not rich enough to provide all
the school facilities that are necessary,
but the number of school houses is being
steadily increased, and if the city does
not grow too fast the schools will be
sufficient TO accommodate all of the school
children in the very near future.
In the meantime the colored people pur-
pose helping themselves This is very
gratifying. 1t indicates that they appre-
ciate what is being done for them in the
matter Of providing schools, and that they
are beginning to feel that as so large a
portion of the school children are colored,
they ought 10 assist, to as great an extent
as they can, in maintaining the public
schools. AT present the colored people
contribute very little to the school fund.
1t is doubtful if a majority of them pay
even the poll tax. Still, they are not ex-
pected TO do much, as but few of them
have any property.
This movement of theirs to provide a
school for the coored children who arc
crowded out of the schools, however, shows
the right sort of spirit, and should be en-
| couraged IL the Board of Education has
not the money necessary to pay teachers
for the proposed school it will, if we are
not greatly mistaken, get it, even if it
has to borrow it, II will not, if it can help
it. let this opportunity pass of showing
its appreciation of this first manifestation
in this community of the willingness of
| colored people to assist in bearing the bur-
den of educating their children

PRIZE FIGHTS VS.. GLOVE con-
TESTS"

1t would require one Of Sam Weller's
"double-miilion magnlfyin' glasses o hex
ira power" to distinguish the difference
between a prize fight and glove con-
test" Of the later day sort. Like many
another sport that has been frowned upon
and Iegis.ated against pugiasm seems 10
have fiourished by opposition. In The ignt
that is to take place tonight between
Jeffries and Sharkey, at Coney Island, \.
Y, 1t is sta ed that the gate receipts VIII
foot up approximately 100000. and the
betting on the result win probably cause
as great a sum Of money to change hands
So much publicity has been gwen the
forthcoming event and so Widespread is
the interest in it. that the whole country
with the exception of those persons VINO
have retained an old-time disgust for such
brutality is metaphorica!ly on the tiptoe
of expectancy for news from the ring
side
Pugilism, indeed, is no longer the sport
that it was years ago, when it was con-
fined to the tough element. 1t has been
dignined by newspaper notice and the at
tendance Of men of means, position and
apparent responsibility. unt1 now the
pugilist believes himself a gentleman"
and his trade an honorable one. The
American people have seen mt 10 decry the
bull ring Of Spain and Spanish-America,
yet at the same time they are willing to
foster and encourage prize lighting, which
is more brutalizing than bun lighting, and
is a relic of the darker and worse stages OF
English civilization.
If it is hoped or expected that the rising
generations of Americans will grow up to
be men OF noble instincts, the glove con-
test" which is nothing more nor less than
a prize fight. must be gotten rid of through
means of the Jaw. No people can continue
TO encourage such exhibitions without
themselves descending to the level of the
roughs and toughs who take part in them.
If there are still persons who insist upon
seeing men bruise and batter each other
into insensibility, let them lie forced to
dodge into the swamps. out of sight of the
officers of the law. and hold their fights
in secret under the ban of the law and
with the condemnation of right minded
persons.

OUR POSITION IN CHINA.

There are rumors aloat IN Washington
that this country will be called on within
the next few days 10 definitely determine
whether or moi il viii take portion of
China as its own territory. If there as
anything in these rumors Russia. France,
Germany and perhaps England have def
nitely decided upon the partition of the
/ Chinese empire. In some OF the Washing
ton dispatches il Is said that the PROPOSE
ton will be made within a very few days
to our government that it shall select one
OF the Chinese ports as its own.
Another rumor is that our government
has notified Russia. France and Germany
that It would regard with disfavor any
effort to divide the empire of China until
Great Britain was free from her South
African complication. 1t is difficult 20
say just what the truth Is in respect to
these rumors. There is no doubt, how
ever that negotiations Of some sort In re
spect TO China are going on.
The European Powers are willing that
we shall have a share OF China's terri
tory. In fact, they are anxious that we
shall accept share. They viii not agree
10 the open door policy because they
are afraid that we would get the Hons
share OF the trade. They are astounded
at the Increase of our trade with China
since the Philippines passed into our pos
session. But while they are against the
open door" policy for the reason stated,
they do not want our opposition TO their
plans. Hence they ask that we join them
in dismembering the empire.
But if we decline 10 join them. what
then? According to the rumors afoat
they do not intend that we shall have any
part of the trade of China-that is Rus
sla. Germany and France do not. It may
be that there is something in the rumor
that our government has notified the Con-
tinental Powers that it would be well to
wait until Great Britain is through with
her South African job before taking up
the question of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Chinese empire.
1t is impossible TO avoid the conviction
that we are on the eve of great changes
in China Whether these changes win be
effected peaceably or win come through
a war in which the great Powers of Eu-
rope will participate, and perhaps this
country, no one can say at this time with
any degree of certainty. One thing IS
certain, and that is that this country
needs the markets of China for its manu-
features and its cotton, and it will be the
first time it has been defeated in its pur-
poses if 1t does not succeed in getting the
benefit of them.

A REPUBLICAN JOB.

The Mazet Committee, that was appoint
ed by the New York Legislature TO find
material in New York city for DO
litical capital with which to fight the
Democratic party of the state. and partic-
ularly Tammany, has not done the Re-
publicans the service it was expected it
would. One of the things which is being
investigated by the committee is the at
tempt that was made to get the City Coun-
Gil of New York to make a contract call
ing for $5,0OO,OOO a year for forty years,
with the Ramapo Water Company, to fur
nish the city with a certain number of
gallons of water daily. Because the City
Council, which is almost wholly made up
of Tammany men, came very near MAX
ing the contract, it was concluded by the
Mazet Committee that it was a Tammany
scheme to rob the city
On Wednesday Mr.. Ben F. Tracy was
before the committee. His testimony was
very interesting. Mr.. Tracey is very
eminent Republican. He was Secretary of
the Navy under President Harrison's adj
ministration. He is also partner in the
law firm of which Mr.. Platts son is a
member. Mr.. Plat is the Republican boss
OF New York.
According to Mr.. Tracy he was coun-
sci for the Ramapo company, and it was
through his efforts and the efforts of Ills
law firm that the Ramapo company was
able to get its remarkably liberal charter
It seems that Mr.. Tracy was given go
shares of stock for his services, which he
else the job. AT one time he was also
president of the company. The inference
from Mr.. Tracys testimony is that if it
had not been for some very prominent
men In the Republican party of New York
there would have not been any Ramapo
Water Company. 1t was Republican joo
to get big contract to supply water to
New York city not Democratic one. No
doubt there were Democrats who were 10
participate in the profits, but the fact re-
mains that Republicans originated the
scheme to make the people of New York
pay big prices for water and Republicans
were to be the chief benehciaries.
1t must make the Republican leaders of
New York grind their teeth in rage to have
their welI-laid plans. for bringing Tam
many Democrats into disrepute come to
naught The Mazet Committee has done
the Republicans more harm than it has
done the Democrats, because the biggest
scheme for robbing the people that has
been discovered by the committee has been
shown to be a Republican one. The inves-
tigation has been a sort of a boomerang.
In New York. as elsewhere, Republicans
are the chief figures in the big jobs, based
on legislation, by which enormous profits
are made at the expense of the people, and
they try to make the public believe that
Democrats are the promoters and benefici-
aries of these jobs. The goody goody
Democrats believe all of the bad things
that are said about their fellow Democrats.
and the general run of Republicans believe
them and think that Democrat and devil
are synonymous.

In a New Jersey town the other day five
white boys were spanked at the police sta
ton with a policeman's belt, as punish
ment for malicious mischief. 1t begins to
look as if some of the white boys of Sa-
vannah who live out in the neighborhood
of the Park Extension, would have to be
treated in similar way, if their parents
persist in neglecting to properly discipline
them. These boys lately have apparently
found much enjoyment in poisoning dogs,
cats and goats in private yards, in ring
ing door bells and splitting in the faces of
the servants who answer the bell,
in tearing up the lamps and bells on
bicycles left for a few minutes on the
sidewalk, in demohshing flowers and flow
er pots on piazzas, and otherwise making
themselves hateful and despisable nui-
sances. If parents will not keep their chill
dren under proper restraint, then the po-
lice must be appealed to, or each house
holder within the territory of these young
toughs must provide himself with a bug
gy whip, and use it.
