And off they went, six pairs Of hands
at the crank handles, and the way they
made that hand car fly up the track
was u sight to behold. In less than an
hour light engine backed slowly
down, for the disused track was bad.
and extreme caution was necessary,
coupled on to the Pullman, and with q
triumphant toot that woke all the ech-
oes Of Bone gulch the Miranda and her
human freight went gliding of toward
civilization once more.
In less than three hours they were at

the story Of the theft of the cars. the
kidnapping Of the railroad magnate and
his party and the capture of the noto-
rious Dallon gang.

better. It at least gives him what he
most needs-employn1cnr; and 1t gives
it freely. But his chances OF employ
ment in the North grow fewer every
year.
I'm Chicago the condition of the col
ored man is rapidly becoming serious.
He must live and to live he must have
work; and work for him Is getting
scarce. One seldom sees colored wal,
ter now In a restaurant or hotel; as q
house servant he Is well-nigh extinct;
few business houses will employ him
in any capacity, though he produce
diploma from Yale or Harvard; we per-
NIT him to ride In the street cars with
us, which the South does not-though
we give him plenty Of seat room; and
we draw the social line about as strict
ly as they do in the South, with none
Of the South's compensatipg kindness
in other ways.
The mischief was done early. The
Negro was originally servitor, and
was we'll content to remain servitor.
In an evil day for his race ne was rails
ed to citizenship. No one cares to seri-
ously defend the institution Of slavery.
It Is indefensible. But there Is a mid
die ground, which was never taken. We
lifted the Negro to the other extreme,
and when we placed him there we turn
ed our backs upon him. For 40 years
we have treated him illogtcally, and, in
many cases, inhumanly."
. In this article. as in many another.
is easily detected the note Of hopeless
ness. And Of this we are glad! Yes,
glad! We repeat, MANS extremity is
Gods opportunity" and now that po-
litical quacks and philanthropic enthu-
siasts have finished their experiments,
1t is time, and high time for the
church of God to step in and take up
the burden and do the work. A fair
field and wide open door is before the
church, and If she VIII be up and doing,
working as Gods faithful steward, then
will God give to her the great reward
and unspeakaL4e blessing Of solving
what has proved to others SO far the
hopeless riddle.

TILLMAN Is PLEAsED.-Senator Till

says that judging from what he reads

much outside Of his own state since

the indications are that Bryan will be

Mr.. Tillman has just got through

has been supporting the dispensary
system against the opposition OF
both the Prohibitionists and the liquor
men. He says that the victory Of the
dispensary system Is complete. Though
there has been no opposition to his
reelection to the senate, he placed
his seat at stake by declaring that he
would not accept reelection If the dis
pensary was defeated. He says that
more than two-thirds Of the legisla-
ture will sustain the dispensary, and
his reelection to the senate will be
practically unanimous, as the Demo-

LooT1NG OF TEN TsIN.-Into the
midst Of this scramble came the jack
tars of her gracious Majesty, the
Queen Of England, rifles in the sings
over their shoulders, both hands free,
straw hats on the back Of their heads,
eyes Of amazement and grins of pure
delight. Silk in rolls was new to them;
but the first torn bundle was the clew.
Instantly the Chinese recognized the
new element, the advent Of the master
spirit. Coolie after coolie, hurrying to
his hutch as fast as he could, paused to
offer part or all Of his load to the first
white man he met. The sailor men
filed their arms and piled 1t up about
their feet, calling to their fellows to go
get a cart or bring some of their mates
to help carry the stuff away. They
chose it without regard to color or
quality or condition. green roll OF
silk was as good as yellow coat and
white fur or black made no difference
to them. This was the street OF the
silk merchants on the afternoon that
Tien Tsin was taken.
Everywhere throughout the city it
was the same-the Chinese were the
first to find the loot; they knew the
way. Then came the soldiers and took
1t from them. Not all; that was Inn
possible. There were not men enough
In the allied forces to do that; but here
and there a little. selection OF this
and sample of that, and Of 1t all a
great pile but only the fraction Of a
little part of the whole. Hundreds Of
Chinese who had been slaves all their
lives got enough to make them inde-,
pendent and their families after them.
The foreigners only nibbled at the edg-
es Of the pile; the natives gobbled 1t
all and licked up the last crumb.-Os-

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
It Presents Great Problems and the Church
Must Settle Them.

Southern Churchman.
There is a wise and old proverb which
says and says we'll, that mans ex-
tremity is Gods opportunity" that
when men have learned their weakness
and incapacity and ignorance and fulfill
ity in some great and momentous work,
then is the time they are most ready to
turn to God and call nightly on Him
to bare His arm and reveal His might,
and do for them what they are incapa-
BILE Of doing for themselves. To our
mind, there Is no more momentous
question under discussion in this coun-
try today than the so-called Negro
question" This question involves so
much for both races, is so far-reaching
in It's results and consequences, Is so
vital to our civilization in it's issues,
comes so close to us in our lives, that
it seems strange that any thinking
person could treat 1t lightly or trivially.
And that it is really vitality import
ant question is shown by the place and
space it occupies in public thought and
discussion. Politicians, scientists, phi
lanthropists, educators, and very many
others are constantly discussing it from
almost every conceivable standpoint.
And the curious part of II Is that they
seem unable to come to any practical
conclusion. Not long since 1t was pain
fully sectional question; but this phase
Of it seems happily, to have passed
away. Now it is being discussed in
every section, fairly dispassionately;
but with painful pessimism. AS an in
stance, we clip the following from an
editorial in the Chicago Journal:
Among the perplexing problems, up
on the solution Of which depend the
health and happiness Of our republic, is
the problem Of the American Negro.
What are we going to do with him?
The riddle of existence seems scarce
harder to read, while the riddle of the
Negro may and must be.
Much has been thought, spoken, and
written upon this question. What has
1t come to? Nothing. Whittier has a
logical consideration Of 1t led? No
where. At every turn-a paradox. We
wish that we could say something wise
or helpful on this matter. We. might,
indeed, repeat a hundred suggestions,
all we'll enough as far as they go; but
there Is the difflculty-they go so short
a ways.
"Forty years ago the Negro was
slave; today he is-a problem. The
South disfranchises him and 1ynches
him; the North lynches him and buys
his franchise. OF the two the North
uses him the worse. The South un-
derstands the Negro better than the
North, and, on the whole, treats him

A UNIQUE STATE.
Texas Has Paid Allegiance to the Flags Of
Six Nations,

. u
Scarcely another state S,the union
has as remarkable and interesting
history as Texas. In one respect at
least 1t occupies unique position in
the history Of the American states.
Since it's discovery six different gov.
ernments have at different times claim
ed its allegiance, and as many differ
ent flags have waved over It, those OF
France, Spain,' Mexico, Independent
Texas, the United States and the Con-
federate states. ~
The foundation of Texas statehood
was not laid as British colony, nor
under the grant or control Of the Brit
ish crown, as were those Of the ortgt-
nal thirteen states. It's first. settlement
dates back more than 200 years, and its
first American colonists went there un-
der terms and conditions imposed by a
foreign state, to whose language, laws
and institutions they were total strang-
ers. There never was, there never
could be, any sympathy between these
first American colonists and the Mex
lean government under the old regime.
Separated by vast wildernesses from
the people Of the United states. and
unaided save by the individual efforts
Of sympathizing bretheren therein,
these colonists declared their independ-
ence, established 1t with the sword, and
for nine years maintained stable re-
public.
Texas was neither purchased nor
conquered for the union. Annexation
to the United States was accomplish
ed through q treaty made by Texas
representatives and ratified by the free
suffrage Of our citizens. No other state
in the Union has had such varied ex-
perience or sailed through such stormy
seas into the haven Of peace and pros
perity-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
