Houses That Are Not Homes.

In call just issued for a negro con-
February. Booker T. Washington in
speaking of the various ways in which
the negro can improve his own condi-
ton materially, morally and intel
lectually, says among other things:
Let him have at least two rooms in
his house" In the pathetic simplicity
Of this suggestion we see the wisdom
with which DR.. Washington is trying
TO lead his race into better and
brighter ways. To the squalor and
the pernicious influences Of those
little one-roomed cabins of the South.
into which half a score or more human
beings of both sexes and all ages are
crowded. is due in no small degree the
moral and intellectual poverty of the
negro. Common decency, health and
cleanliness are all impossible in one
roomed houses. whether the occupants
be black or white red or yellow.
1t is not alone among the blacks OF
the South that there is a crying need
in this country for the advancement
urged by Booker Washington. In our
great cities the crowded tenement
problem is one of the most important
and most difficult to solve. We recall
a story in connection with tenement
life in New York which may have been
intended to be comic but which was in
reality tragic. 1t is asserted that in
one of the old roomy downtown dwell
ing houses which had been turned
into tenements there was one large
room in which five families slept, one
in each corner and one in the middle
of the room, and that all got along
well until the family in the middle of
the room began to take boarders. So
horrible has been the overcrowding in
that city in the past that one hardly
knows whether this was a caricature
or not. Certain ii is that the results
OF such overcrowding are a part of the
heritage of corruption and vice under
which the great metropolis is groan-
ing If the upper ten thousand" ha &c
awakened to the conditions they have
been slow to appreciate it, 1t is hard,

passed since the tragic death OF
Cashier Barron, public interest in the
event has never abated, and the
present attempt TO obtain a pardon
for the men who We're sent to prison,
10 years later, has become the leading
topic of the day in Maine and Massa

all will agree, have made out a re-
markably strong case and have pre-
scented it in a most able manner.
Messrs Barker and Drury merit the
warm congratulations they have re-

vincing the governor and council of
the innocence of these prisoners ii will
be one of the most notable triumphs in
the criminal history of Maine. 1t is in

death as unsolved, and the partisans
