The report of the Board of Managers
of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern
Educational Society sets forth that the
age Of the negro is going; the epoch Of
man Is beginning. IT says:
THE schools of the Freedmen's Aid
and Southern Educational Society have
been making good citizens; educating
negroes to be Christian men and
women. They have not made Grim
lnals. The criminal negro never comes
from the Christian school. There have
been more than 100000 students in these
schools, and, not one Of them has ever
been lynched or charged with the crime
for which negroes are lynched."

is witty, it is sarcastic, it is acute and

STILL GROWING AND FLIPPING

The New York Observer is an old and
able Presbyterian organ that has man
aged to blunder much and often when
touching upon the negro question. Re-
Gently referring to the sensitiveness of
southern people to the reports and
comments of the northern papers, re-
ligious and secular, this paper said:
One fact which, perhaps, they miss
is the point that the negro has behind
him a heredity, debased through the
actions of some among his white task
masters, which tempts HIM terribly TO-
day in the direction of all w~rong-doing.
Thereby he is not excused for such evil
conduct, but the fact renders any bru-
tai oppression of him by his southern
superiors all the more unjustifiable."
But this is a miss-fire. Nearly every
negro rapist in all southland is NOT
"colored" but black. But The Observer
is not a fair critic at any point. 1t is a
blind, partisan organ n will never
know h facts involved in slavery and
reconstruction, and enthroning the

putting Alklil ONCl Xix VI tllC
brave White men who fought the over
whelming north with such splendid
constancy and courage. The north
should be very careful in the full light
of it's own history in connection with
slavery and slave trading and with
the unwisdom and folly and vengeful
character of it's action enfranchising
ignorance. The able editor of The
Charlotte Presbyterian Standard says:
I'm the northern mind the negro's
history begins with his ownership by
his southern master. The unnumbered
centuries OF barbarism in Africa are
! forgotten as completely as his connec
ton withsthe New England slave ship
n slave dealer. During a few gener-
ations of slavery in the south, the ne
gro advanced socially and morally
faster@ than he had lone for several
milleniums. But we are glad to see the
admission that the north's own meth
DDS are far from ideal"
He then cites a press dispatch of a
week Os so g from Pana, Illinois. It
is an edifying account and we'll worthy
of reproducing here:
"The last of the negro colony of fully
200 brought here by operators during
the past ten months to supplant union
men, departed last night on tickets
furnished by Governor Tanner. All the
mines are closed.
John Hicklin, a negro barber, was
waited M last night and ordered to
leave the city in five days. He appealed
to Mayor German for protection, claim
ing the lives of himself and family in
jeopardy"
Here two things manifest: That 1,OOC
negroes brought to Illinois were moi
wanted and were sent away; and thai
a negro barber was not allowed to live
longer where he pursued his calline-

His comment is sufficient, and the er-

We live at a time of usurpation and

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Victim of the Teton County Murder
Proves to BE Julius PIath.

Great Falls May 20.--It will be re-
membered that while it was thought
that without doubt murder had been
committed in Teton county. there was
mystery over both the murderer and
the murdered. The officers believe that
they have solved the first mystry in
the arrest of William Pepo, and now
thy seem to be on strong clew as to
the identity of the victim. The only
thing which gave any idea of who the
murdered man might be was some ailu-
sion in letters in his pocket to relatives
residing near Pembroke, Ontario. This
clew has been followed until it is pretty
certain that the murdered man was
julius Plath Of that place. He was a
young German, about "a years old, and
had been working for the Pembroke
Lumber company. He left there as a
member of the first gang forwarded to
work on the Crows Nest Pass railway.
He left for that position last August,
and the next which his relatives at
Pembroke heard from him was through
letter asking them to forward him
500, as he wished to go to the Klon-
dixie. They refused to send him the
money. but wrote him that if he de-
sired to come home they would forward
a ticket to him. That was the last they
heard until short time ago, when the
Pembroke constable received letter
from Sheriff Hagen of Choteau. asking
about julius Plath and then the whole
matter came out Photographs of
Plath have been received at Choteau
and are said to resemble the deceased
as closely as might be expected under
the circumstances. the body having
lain for considerab)r time before dis
covery 1t looks very much as if the
faithful work of Sheriff Hagen was be-
ing rewarded.
+ In Pembroke, Plath had the reputa
ton of being very quiet lad, careful
in his traits and the last one to enter
quarrel. If Pepo murdered him, as
the officers believe. it must have been
merely for trifle in money and en-
tirely without proyocation.

corner, are also considering the mat
ter. The j. HI. Mcknight Co. has
frame structure on Third street north,
which they are likely to replace with
brick at a cost of several thousand
dollars. These are only few matters
which come to the mind without effort,
while the frame dwellings and similar
structures now appearing in all parts
of the city are more than numerous.
Their aggregate cost would be very
pretty sum.
Counting only the money certain to
be spent in the city it is found that
It amounts to at least s55O.0O0 For q
