CURRENT TOPICS.

A bill has been introduced in the House
IF Representatives providing for an or
ganization of the government employees
in the classified service. to be maintained
without expense to the United States,
and toward which the individual mem
bers are to contribute to the fund to be
drawn on for the payment OF pensions.
1t is provided in the bill that after July
/, 1900, two per cent. OF the salary Oh
every such employe shall be withheid
for deposit in the United States Treasury
TO the credit of the civil service retire
ment fund July /, 1904, is the time fixed
for beginning rctirenlents
This is we'll enough if the measure
goes no further. But if once this organ
ization gets 4 start il will not be Ions
before an effort will be made to have
an appropriation from the governments
TO pay the pensions. Our pension SyS-
tenn is one Of our greatest national dam
gers.

wick, N j.. the other day one of the

The building of the Chicago drainage
canal and the complain; which the people
of ST. Louis have made against it has
caused an investigation to dc made which
reveals some interesting facts 1T has
been :scertained for one thing that ST.
Louis gets its water supply not from 'Ee
Mississippi river tut from the Missouri.
It is said that the set Of the current is
such that only water from the missouri
reaches TIE pumping station, ana II is
further stated that the water from Inc
Mississippi is better than wafer from the
Missouri DIR. Reynolds, Health Commits
s:cner of Chicago, after looking carefully
into the matter says that the,e IS ITO
ground for the complaint of ST. Louis that
the Chicago drainage canal will conta1ni-
rate ST. Louis water supply. He says
that ST. Louis would be better off II she
we're getting her supply direct from the
| Illinois river, into which the Chicago
| drainage canal flows. He claims thai
| sewerage is destroyed long before the
waters of the Illinois reach the MISSISSIPPI
! and that the water of the Illinois rivei
| is better where it enters the MISSISSIPPI!
| than that either Of the MISSISSIPPI OF the

we hope that this will satisfy the people
of St. Louis; and that they Will stoa

p The change in North Carolina since
Tho separate car bill went into effect, is
remarkable in different ways.
The colored woman and man have full
freedom, as does the white traveller, and
there IS no opportunity of clash, as there
is no occasion for the races to get to-
gether.

which means better accommodations Tor
whites and blacks. equally.
Talk of humiliation for the negro is
nonsense. If he was kept off the rail-
road train, there might be occasion for
vehement protest, but given separate
cars is a sign of advancing civilization,
and once it is tried in Virginia both races
will ever afterwards demand the sepa-
ration of the races III cars and otherwise
Our readers will recall that during
tween the races, New Bern was one of
the most accused of all towns in the
state. There is a large negro popula-
ton there and the negro party had been
in power The whites had suffered all
sorts Of indignities. and it was relief IN
expressible TO get from under the black
cloud. This article from our New Bern
contemporary, therefore, is the more
significant The New Bern Journal
knows what it means to mix the races
and knows that separation as far as pos
sible is necessary to peace and good or
der.
1t is a surprise to US that the colored
people do not take the same view Inc
proposed separate car act is not designed
as discrimination against the blacks.
While the bill provides that black men
shall not ride in the same car with
white men. it also provides that the
whites shall not ride in the apartment
assigned TO the blacks. The bill does
no. say that the blacks shall not ride
in a first-class car. 1t does not exclude
the blacks from the best accommoda-
lions. 1t simply provides that whites
and blacks shall not be mixed up IN
the same apartment. 1t is no more
discrimination against the blacks than
i, is a discrimination against the whites.

,rl,c Poet

The Poet
The spoet sees the tragedy that lies
Concealed within the heart from other
eyes.
Behind the mask, behind the surface
he sees the gnawing canker grief the
while.
Beneath the word he sees the deeper
thought,
And deeper still, the soul with sorrow
fraught.
All things reveal themselves unto his
His chart is human life; his books are
men.
And this the secret is Of all his art,
He sees life wholly, others but in part
4 eod-lilse gift is this the gods bestow
To SEQ the truth, to feel it and to know.
And thus because he pierces the pretenee
OF shallow smiles and words disgusting
sense.
The poet may not follow others lead
And lightly write what some may lightly
read.
But true as life his lines some trace must
bear
OF life,s mysterious sorrow and despair.
The sweetest music breathes minor
strain.
And life would not be perfect but for
pain.
And so the poet sings Of grief and strife.
And tears and fears because of such is
life.
