It has not been long ago that Booker
T. Wasbiugt ton, the truest aod noblest
friend OF his race which that race mas
developed since the hour Of negro
emancipation, declared that the sure
road to improvement in the in -ustrial
life Of his people lay through p-ec-
ticol education that would fit them for

OF the good citizen earning his
right t. the title by an industrious,
frugal and progressive career, Mr..
Washins ton counselled his rae to fore
go. They have no grievance that they
are not very largely responsible for.
In this respect they are much similar
to many Of their white neighb0rs, who,
like them, have not been much in
clined to "look cut for themselves"
but in life of tbriftless and aimless
purpose have ratt err been disposed TO

not oppressed. and TO fall legitimate
prey to the agitator and mou ntebank
who thrives upon the portray al OF their
fapcied woes.
Don't spend your money for things
you don't need" is homely advice alike
applicable to blacks and whites, and
about the hardest advice TO put in
daily practice that any man of success
ever gave to his fellows. Come to

the genius of absolutism in that almost
any man who literally follows il must
eventually become self-reliant and win
competency. Thereare but two things
necessary TO the plishment of
these results or the part of any man
in all the vast sphere of labor. They
are, 6rst, that q man have steady en-
ployment. and, second, that neither
disease nor Door relatives shall eat up
his substance.

1t is understood that now that the pri-
mary object of the march of the allies on
Pekin, the rescue of the Legationers, has
been accomplished, the Powers will all
probably be willing to listen to overtures
for peace; but the end is not yet by any
means. Eleven Nations have suffered as
the result of Chinese disturbances, and all
will expect indemnity.
The Chinese Government. on Aug. 20,
made formal application, through Lii Hung
Chang, for the appointment of an Ameri-
can Commissioner TO bring about the ces,
sation of hOstilities in China and the resto,
ration of general peace. Mr.. COnger is
suggested, as being on the spot.
WHAT WILL BE DONE.
While it is the present purpose of the
President to ask only a money indemnity
from China, the possibility that territory
may have to be takeB in lieu of cash is
giving the Administration some concern,
inasmuch as it presents q problem that
may be perpleXing. 1t is impossible that
China can pay the enormous cash indem-
nifty sure to be demanded. The United
States does not desire a slice of China, al
though all of the other Powers do, it is be,
lieved.
The Japanese Government is said to
have Informed Lii that il was willing to
use its good Offices in behalf of the EN-
press and Emperor, but was determined to
prevent the escape of four officials chiefly
responsible, Prince Tuan, Kang vi, Hsu
Tung and Chao Shuchiao.

News of the result of the approach to

heavier attack on the Legations that
might prove disastrous to them. Ii Hung

mile; then came timber, in the edge of
which, screened by the bushes, sat the
bushwhackers, waiting for the raw, half
armed, undrilled Union troops. When
Johnson's men had come within one-third
OF mile of their hidden foe out they
rushed, a revolver in each hand, in wild,
mad charge, whooping and yelling. A
well-directed volley would have sent them

fired shot, attempting to seek safety in
