our race are ready now to start to that distant land in which they would be as utterly at loss for association as they would be in China or Japan. All the world over the white race is ascendant and in twenty-five years Africa will be a white mans country with industrious negroes second best. The true remedy
 for existing evils is the agricultural and mechanical school for the negro. Such institutions in every state in
 which negroes would be converted into good farmers and good mechanics
 would rectify the trouble on hand. The negroes will gradually form communi- ties and till land, raise f1ocks and hsrds,
 establish a negro social system and
 will live in the white mans land
 friendly with the white man, but en-
 tering very little into his habitations.
 If a free steamship line were opened to the negroes between ports of the Unit
 cd States and Africa, unless their tick cts were good for return trips the ne groes would not go. 1 am one of ten
 heads of negro families who are able

STOCKS BOOMING.
Very Gratifying Showing in the East
 ern Security Market.

New York, Dec. 31.-All market indi-
 cations were favorably regarded this evening, and good judges cf the speeu- laticn were generally of the opinion that the fcrward movement would run for some time. They also agreed that 1 it is the biggest, brcadest and bes. bull market the street has known It start ed with a boom. Public appreciation of conditions was evidenced by the heavy accumulation of outside buying orders over the holidays. This commission house buying extended, leading brokers said, to all classes of stocks.
 There was also a big demand for bonds. And the incentives responsible for this increased inquiry fer securit 'es are expected to continue in f3Ice. Among them are the abundancs of money, railroad earnings. as exempli- fled by St. Paul's st3temsnt for the sec ond week in December and the prosper- lty Of ths west, where farmers are spending more money fer goods, both neceSsar1es and luxuries, than ever be- fore Inves 'mant buying materially as sisted the rise in the grangsus and was noticeably aggressive in St. Paul, which, barring the untoward and un- fcreseeable, will get well over 120 next

MARK TWAIN'S DAUGHTER.

Clara Clemens, the pretty daughter
 of Samuel M Clemens (''Marlz Twain )
 is a deserved favorite in Viennese so- ciety, where the family of Mir Clemens are spending their second winter. Miss Clemens IS a beautiful girl, and inherits her fathers ready wit and his love of pleasant company Tn Florsnce when she was still a slender young miss in short dresses, she was known along the Arno quays as La Bella Signorina," and was one of the celeb rities of the town almost equally with her distinguished looking papa, who was as great a lion in Italy as he is now in Austria
 When Miss Clemens went to Vienna she began taking singing lessons under the best masters, as so many girls in society do, simply as an added accom- plishment. This year, however, she is devoting herself seriously to the study of music, having learned that she is the poSSessor Of voice of singular sweetness and power. It is expected that she will devote her talent to the concert stage. Mark Twain himself is supposed to he writing book about Vienna. certainly few foreigners ever become so thoroughly acquainted with the city as he has. He likes the Vii enna people and spends much time studying their life and manners.-New Y YOrk World.

Something of the Great Printing Machine Which Serves the People Of Arizona by Turning Out Paper With Curious Edge, Which Distinguishes it From
 Papers of lesser Breeds.'

Information regarding newspaper machinery was widely disseminated in Phoenix last night The perfecting press is no longer wonder, and the linotype is not an unexplainable mys- tery any more. Of the hundreds who thronged The Republican office and machinery rooms last night not one could perhaps operate either press or linotype, yet all witnessed the mas tery of both.
 The Republicans reception was well attended At o'clock the building was crowded with ladies, gentlemen and children. Everything was thrown wide open. The lesser wonders Of the job department, it's presses, stitching machine and other appliances were first inspected with a curiosity which kept the operators sounding warnings of crushing c0gs, for the wheels were going round, as they do nightly.
 The printing and composing room was thst location Of the most active in terest. The great press had not yet been set in motion. An assault was first made upon the battery of lino- types. Net one in ten of the visitors had ever seen a Mergenthaler, but those who have, always watch it with unfagging interest-with a sense of humanity and intelligence in iron and

The pressman has nothing to do but stand, his hand on 2 lever of instantaneous action, waiting for an emergency which sell dom happens. The paper is rseled from the roll like thread from a spool. Rapidly revolving steel rollers carry the web Of white paper through the lower part Of the machine along it's whole length. It is turned on 9 roller al the farther end and carried back through the upper part of the press, Four. pages are printed on the outward journey and four on the return. Then the WEb, still intact, enters the folding department of the machine. It is car ried along on 8 system of tapes to a large cylinder whose length is trav- ersed by a knife. Here is where the distinguishing -'s5rrated'' mark is put on. A newspaper has been made and detached. It is swept through the folder, dropped into the receiving box and it's birth is properly recorded by an automatic counter. All this has hap paned within about 2 second after the white paper entered the machine from the roll

tion of the Duplex will Joe reasonably clear and will supplement the forego- ing. intended for the general reader:
 Two impression cylinders, located one directly over the other, and jour- naled into the same cross heads or ear rierS, are reciprCcated over stationary beds, making two impressions with each alternative movement, or printing g two complete papers with each reyolu- tion of the large driving wheel. AS the only recipHCcating parts Of the praEs are the cylinders, and as these are all driven by a crank motion, no air buffers or spring of any kind are re- Guired. The form rollers are carried with the cylinders, and pass over the form twice for each impression. They take ink at each end of the press. Vi orators at each cylinder insures the most thorough distribution Of the ink.
 The folder occupies the space be- tween the main wheels and above the shaft carrying them, and the folded pa pers are delivered in a packing box di- rectly over the roll of paper at the end of the press. The upper bed is less than three feet from the floor.
 The machine is a rotary one through out, except that the cylinders are recip- rCcated, and the paper dwells during the impression in that part Of the web only which lies horizontal, and that which extends over the front of the press, as seen in the cut. The web elsewhere is constantly moving at Q uniform rate It is fed from the roll by calenders having a constant and uni form motion, and is fed, printed, through rotary cutter in the folder in the same way.

Q very large majority of the people of Phoenix never have had an opportunity to see what a wonderful arran cement of machinery it is.
 An opportunity was offered last night and hundreds availed themselves of it. To those who saw it in motion a fur ther description is as urnece9 sary as it must be inadequate. They observed a roll of white paper rapidly rushing into the maw of tha machine There was 2 confusing revolution of wheels and rollers. Q chatter and flashing of machinery and the printed, folded and cut papers with "serrated" edges, came forth representatives of the Iessening roll

Thomas A. Orr: I believe there arG opportunities in the valley for invest ors in the erection of modern dwell ings, ss there is considerable dsmand , from customers for houses just now.
 
 James McGnl: The race track at the grounds here ought to be a fast one. and I believe, if eastern hCTsemen knew of the kind Of a track you have there would be a great many horses brought here fer winters training and racing.
 w. N. Tiffany: The driving asso- ,ciation proposes to hold Saturday matineas during the balance of the winter season, and we are much .en- outraged by the manner in which the people turned out at the first one held. The arrangement will be better next time, so that there will be less loss of time between the races. The delay to- day was caused by changing the "bikes," as the same ones were used in all the rauzs because of the fact that we possess but four among us.
 James McGiu, the Big Four jockey: I consider the race track of the dTiv- ing association an excellent one, and that it is a fast one was shown by the good time made today. The last running race of the matinee meet was one which would be applauded on any track in the country. There are some good race horses in this valley.
