coLoRED ENrMERATORs.


Some time ago we expressed the opinion
that the President wosId make a mistake
if he appointed colored men as census su-
pervisors in the SCUM. There are OF
course colored men VINO are qualified 70
30 this work, but it is certain that they
VIII appoint colored enumerators, whose
duty it will be 10 call AZ the homes Of the
people and get the information required
for the census. In a majority Of instances
this Information Will have TO be furnished
by the women of the household, because
the men viii be away at their places of
business when the enumerators call
It win not be pleasant for women, in
many cases, in all PROBABILITY. to answer
the questions which the enumerators will
be authorized to ask. owing TO recent
troubles in some parts of the South white
women in some instances may refuse TO
see the enumerators. IT would not be sur
prising if that should be the case in out
of-the-way places in the rural districts.
We do not predict trouble from these ap-
pointments, but If there should be the
President would be, in some measure, to
blame for it, He knows the conditions
which exist in the South. In the trial Of
the Lake City, S. c., case recently Judge
Brawley said that the administration was
largely responsible for the crime of which
the accused were charged, because it had
appointed q strange negro postmaster at
Lake City against the protest of the peo-
pie
If the President desires to appoint some
of the colored men of the South super
visors and enumerators of the census why
doesn't he appoint them to districts in the
East and West? From the same districts
of the West and East white men could be
appointed for districts in the South. In
that way the President could favor col
ored Republicans in the South without
taking the risk of causing unpleasantness
between the races. We do not make this
suggestion with any other purpose than to
prevent an opportunity for trouble be-
tween the races.
There is not likely to be any trouble in
the towns and cities but it cannot be said
that negro enumerators will find their
work pleasant in all parts of the country
districts The entire situation has been
placed before the President, however, and
also the chief of the census bureau If
they persist in sending colored enumer-
ators into the homes Of white people they
must bear their part of the responsibility
If the enumerators should not be entirely
successful in their work.

HOMES FOR HEROES.

Admiral Dewey has practically declined
the costly dinner which rich New York
ers planned to give him on his return
home. He says his physical condition is
such that it is necessary that he shall
have quiet and rest. The fact is probably
that, besides being in poor health, he
doesn't want to be lionized He is mod
est man. While he appreciates the fact
that his fellow citizens hold him in high
esteem, no doesn't want to figure as
hero at costly banquets and be the chief
figure in great parades, There are ways
in which those who intended to give q
costly dinner in his honor can spend the
money they had set apart for that purpose
to much better advantage for his benefit.
The New York Times suggests that
fund of S25OOOO be raised with which to
buy house for the admiral and provide
an income for him. The suggestion is a
good one, and will. in all probability, be
adopted 1t is hardly reasonable that he
would refuse a house and big purse
from his admiring fellow citizens.
In Kansas it was proposed to give a s., 500
SWOiu W dig. dShs Il utiSNOug WIZ NOh
so much glory In the Philippines as the
colonel of the Kansas volunteers The
secretary of the Kansas horticultural So
ciety says that in view of the fact that
Gen. Funston was married just before he
left for the Philippines, il is probable
that he would rather have house and a
little cash on which to live when he comes
home than sword, and the Kansas peo-
pie apparently agree with this view of the
matter 1t is probable, therefore, that
$4,000 will be raised in Kansas for Gen
Funston, part of which win be invested in
a house in Topeka for him, and the bal
ance will be invested for his benefit.
The American people are liberal with
those who prove themselves deserving of
their confidence and good will. 1t is re-
| grettable that the thousands of soldiers
in the ranks who have fought so Wen in
| the Philippines cannot be honored in some
| special way TO show them how strong a
hold they have on the hearts of their fell
low citizens. But, though houses and
bank notes will not be presented to them
when they return home, their welcome
will hardly be less warm than that which
will be extended to Gen. Funston and
others of their officers who have distin-
| guished themselves.

Mistaken Tipping.

An American recently arrived in London
from a Southern city, aud being in haste
to continue his journey to Paris, hired
cabman to take him on one of his err
rands, says the Youths Companion. Hand
ing the man a 2-shilling piece, he directed
him to certain number in New Bond
street After seating himself in the cab,
the passenger waited for several minutes,
expecting the horse 10 start. At last he
left the cab, and found the driver on the
box inspecting the coin, which was double
the usual fare.
What is the matter" asked the indig
nant traveller.
This seems to be a very small coin for
so long a distance" was the surly re-
Spouse.
The American smiled grim.y, and re-
marked that the cabman could drive him
at once to Scotland Yard. AS this is the
Headquarters of the police, the driver per
ceived that the American was not man to
be swindled.
''Tn drive you to New Bond street." he
remarked promptly, "if you will get in,
sir"
walt a moment" said the American.
"I want you to look me over carefully.
Now tell me-" he continued. what il was
in my appearance that led you to think
me an idiot. Was it my hat, or my col
lar or the cut of my overcoat? have
already paid you double fare for the dis
lance l have asked you 20 go, but I'll give
YOU as much more IL you will tell me
what there is in my general makeup that
encouraged you to believe that I could be
fool enough to allow you to cheat me-"
The cabman by this time looked sheep
sh and uncomfortable.
'I took you for an American, sir" he
said land thought I could work another
shilling out of you. Here is one of the
shnlings you gave me, and 1 am ready to
drive you to New Bond street,
The American had made two mistakes.
He ought not to have paid double fare
and he ought not to have paid in advance.
BY violating the ordinary rules observed
by people who hire London cabs he en-,
| couraged the cabman to swindle him The
most judicious course for a traveller in a
foreign country is 20 learn the customs OF
the people in it, and not throw away
money by overpaying cabmen and tipping
| servants too generously.

SPECULATIVE STOCKS.

There is a quite general opinion that
many, If not all, of the stocks listed on
the New York Stock Exchange are sell
that is, they are not intrinsically worth
the prices they are commanding, because
there is no certainty that they will con-
tinue to pay the dividends they paid for
the last year. OF course. stocks which
have been paying dividends without in
terrupton for years are not included in
the foregoing statement.
The stocks to which special reference Is
made are those which are as yet purely
speculative. One of these is Brooklyn
Rapid Transit II has sold as high as
1877, and yet it has never paid dividend.
1t has been selling much above long
time 4-per-cent. government bonds, be-
cause it is expected that certain combina-
tons which have been effected will make
the property so profitable that it will pay
large dividends. That az least has been
the talk in Wal street, and there is no
reason to think that there was not ample
foundation for all that was said for it.
speculative stock, however, is shown by
the fact that the announcement of the
death of ex-Gov. Flower caused it to drop
more than 10 points inside of an hour.
Mr.. Flower was its principal supporter
and when he died those who held the
stock wanted TO get rid of it as quickly as
they couldn't least. some of them did
and threw it on the market at whatever
price they could get for IL. There are a
good many other stocks selling at high
prices which would fall many points II
| the financially strong men who are back
of them should offer to sell them. They
are speculative stocks, and some time
may be worth all they are bringing now
but their real value at the present time
is far below their selling value.

A practice which is probably well nigh
universal. and is almost il not quite uni
verssny regarded as reprehensibie, is that
of doing in church. The men folks are
particularly given to it, though even those
who are confirmed nappers in the pews
are more or less troubled with qualms Of
conscience, and seek to avoid the eye of
the minister and the attention Of their
neighbors.
There has arisen in the West however
a bold minister of the Gospel who declares
that not only is mapping in church pardon
able. but that it is natural, and is often
complimentary to the preacher. And not
only that, but it is of direct succession
from the customs of apostolic times. Paul
unquesuonably was a powerful and enter
tanning preacher; nevertheless the patri-
archs slumbered and. probably snored I'M
der the sound of the great apostles eio-
quence. On one occasion, as recorded in
the twentieth chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles, there sat in the window" while
Paul was preaching "a certain young man
named Eutychus, being fallen down in a
deep sleep; and as Paul was long preach
ing, he sunk down with sleep. and fell
down from the third loft and was taken
up dead" There isn't anysuggestion that
The tragic end of Eutychus was in retri-
button for his having fallen asleep; it IS
set down as merely an incident of a long
sermon. with the ethics of which he no
doubt fully agreed in all particulars.
The Western preacher--Adr. Mann of
Omaha-says the nap in church is excel
lent evidence of the fact that the napper,
from moral and spiritual standpoint, is
precisely in line with the preacher; that
he indorses the argument being advanced,
and has no suggestions to offer. If the
listeners ideas were antagonistic to those
of the preacher, there would be no nap
ping, for antagonsm is destructive of
drowsiness. Sleep, furthermore, is indica-
tive of religious liberation. The zealots
who caught and burned heretics at the
stake were never caught mapping in
church; they were wide awake all of the
time. Contentment, charity. brotherly
love. a clear conscience-peace, in short
leaves the mind a rest and easily suscept-
ible to that drowsiness which steals over
the senses when well-known ceremonies
are being reiterated and familiar truths
are being repeated Under such circum-
stances it is not strange that the head
bows over, the lids droop and the mind
wanders into dreamland

The Roses sold the Tickets.

How bunch of roses sold a couple Of
high-priced railroad tickets is the basis of
a queer little comedy of errors enacted
last Saturday a a leading city hotel, says
The New Orleans es-DemocraL Among
the guests of the house was wealthy
Texas merchant, who was en- route, with
his wife, for a visit 90 New England. The
Texan had local business representative
here in the person of hustfng young
man about town, who was especially anX-
ious TO make the stay of his principal as
pleasant as possible. Accordingly he rush
ed 10 florists, as soon as he saw the
names on the register, and ordered him 20
put up the handsomest bunch of roses he
had in the shop and send them over to
Mrs Blank at such-and-such a hotel.
In his hurry he forgot TO leave his card
for enclosure, and, supposing il was omit
ted intentionally, the florist proceeded TO
prepare a magnificent bouquet, which he
despatched forthwith by messenger. 1t so
happened at the moment the flowers ar
rived that a city passenger solicitor for
one of the north-bound roads had just
handed over his card TO be sent 70 the
Texas gentleman's apartments, and quite
naturally the pasteboard and the roses
went up together. The visitor was both as
tonshed and pleased. This is certainly a
claimed the merchant, examining the
flowers. "Why, these things must have
cost all of ten dollars. Show the gentle
man up
The solicitor was shown up, received
most cordially and given an immediate or
der for through transportation both ways.
He departed, chuckling merrily but lit
tie dazed by the facility of his deal and
puzzled to understand the many refer
ences to his courtesy and thoughtful
ness" An hour or so later, the local rep
resentative dropped around and was met
by his employer in the lobby The greeting
was painfully matter-of-fact and not a
word was said about the flowers. The
young man was greatly chagrined, and be-
gan to believe he had made bad break.
Next day he accompanied the couple TO
the depot and incidentally something was
said about the route. I'VE decided TO go
this way on account of the gentleman VINO
called to sell us tickets" explained the
lady "He was so courteous and pleasant
Why, would you believe it," she contln-
ued, "he actually sent me an enormous
bunch of beauty roses with his business
card" IAght dawned on the local repre-
sentative and he groaned. In his pocket
was a florists bill for S1275

Thomas ]. Havemeyer, brother of Henry
o. Havemeyer and himself one of the
sugar trust mil.ionaires. died FIVE weeks
ago. 1t was understood that he was
bachelor. 1t now appears that he was
married man; that he had been mar
red for fifteen years, having married
Miss Anna Wright. who had been a boy
hood sweetheart, in 1884. The marriage
was never made public because Mr.. Have
meyers family wished him either to mar
ry a rich woman or remain a bachelor IT
seems that while Mr.. Havemeyer provided
literally for his wife during his lifetime
he made no provision for her after his
death. She is now suing for her dover
rights in his great estate
