and efficient work to which they
have consecrated their benevolent
ana pious energies. No eloquence
can pay fitting tribute 70 their mag
nificent success.
Any eulogium in This regard
which does not assign to- Count Won
Waldersee an easy eminence in the
work would be miserably and un-
pardonably incomplete. He has
ordained nearly every one of the
''paclfylng" expeditions which have,
by their brutal cruelty aud barbarlc
enormities. provoked the horr,fed
comments of the Christian world.
10 him belongs the distinction. of
having carried into effect the blood
thirsty lnjunCtions of his master,
the German Emperor. And now be
earns fresh commentator from all
Christendom by his abominable &C.
with reference to the Pekin Obser-
vatory. Nothing more monstrous
AMI uncivilized is to be found IN
tue records of the darkest ages. 1t
ranks with the most savage excuses
of the German invasion OF Rome,
with the worst infamies Of the
Goths. the HUNS, the Vandals 1t
rivals the destruction OF the Egyp
tan museums and Libraries. 1t
illustrates the mission of Germany
in China as it has never been Illus
trated before.
The press reports tell us that
France took equal part in this in
conceivable barDarity. Those re
ports, however, reach US through
English channels, and we must keep
in mind British hostility to France
and British friendships thing of
recent birth and doubtful continuity
for Germany. If France has
really taken part in this wanton des-
ecration, we shall extend to her the
condemnation to which the act en-
titles her. But there must be better
evidence than that contained in
edited by England in
order to secure our confidence.
In any case, and without refer
ence to the location Of the respon-
sibllity, the footing of the Pekin
Observatory remains blot upon
Christian civilization and a fresh
arraignment of the hypocrisy and
cruelty of the allied invasion of
China.

IN UNWZSE POLICY.

II surely must be a self-evident
fact to everyone that Lafayette was
not built with any view ITO SYM
metrical beauty. 1t must also be
equal, paten, to the eye that the
streets Of the town were not in
tended to be much stra;ghter than
corkscrews. I, is clear that these
defects in our municipal makeup
have largely hindered the advance
ment Of the town, but as much as
they have retarded the growth of
the community. the injury caused
by them pales into insignificance
when compared with the baneful
effects of the pernicious custom t.,
build negro shanties pr"mis-
cuously in all parts of the town.
We read some time ago of pro
test made by residents in certain
street of Kansas City who were
highly incepsed because negro
had bought home in the neighbor
hood The negro was induced to
seek home elsewhere. The
course pursued h, these citizens
of Kansas CITY was based upon tine
knowledge that the coming of such
a person into their neiPhborhood
would make 1t unpopular among
the white people.
In most of the Southern towns
localities are set apart for the
colored population, or rather that
portion of the race whose manner
of living is OF such character as
to make their segregation necessary
to the peace and health of the COM
munity. There are, however, some
colored families who should not be
included in this number. Through
commendable habits of industry
homes, but they are
unfortunately in a very small minor
ity.
Along the best streets Of the town
s.smoky rows" of negro cabins not
only mar the scenery but grossly
offend the senses Of the most cal
lous. In other localities land
owners have huddled together as
many of these unsightly cabins as it
was possible to do. Leaving aside
all question of propriety, it appears
to us that such a policy is exceed
ingly short sighted. For, with the
inevitable enhancement of town
the time will surely come
when these cheap buildings will
make it impossible for the owners
10 make profitable use of their land,
which otherwise would be worth a
great deal.
1t is inconceivab Bile that SO many of
our citizens have ignored these
acts in building houses for rent.
n continuing this most unwise
policy these property owners of La
ayette will cause irreparable injury
G the town and will do themselves
70 good.
The tendency is to separate the
wO races in the South for social as
veil as for more material considera-
ions. Laws have been passed by
southern Legislatures with that end
n view. In fact wherever this mat
er has been given any attention,
prudent and wise men have agreed |
hat both races will be greatly be- |
'efted by the adoption of every
Measure calculated to bring about
his most desirable result.
The Gazette submits that this |
natter is entitled to the earnest
ton of the landowners of
his town. No doubt much harm
las already been done, but a proper
conception of the character of this |
vii will doubtless cause the adop-
ion of a more enlightened and pro
ressive policy.

some of our citizens which amoun-
ted TO something like ten or twelve
dollars, was barely enough to pay
for the music, as the band gave
new music. at nearly every concert,
and besides the band always fur
pisbed music free, at all occasions
that were for charity or for some
public improvement. Therefore,
we saw it was wrong to crlticise
them because they refused to play
for political meetings, and it was
also wrong to refuse the payment
of the monthly contributions.

THE GREIG CORNET
RAND ANGRY.

If we are to Judge by the express
sions of the Evangeline in its last
number, and the resolution of the
band adopted at meeting during
the past week, we must come to
the conclusion that the Band is
mad, or at least its leader, as the
editorial remarks of the Evange-
line are written by the leader OF
the band.
Now there was no necessity Tor
all these troubles, though we must
admit that the Professor is some
what ticklish, and tickled just at
Ter, Immediately after a political
defeat, was, we must admit, enough
to strain his nerves, and the criti-
cal remarks of some of the men,
bers of the winning faction, and
their refusal to continue their con-
trlbutlOn towards the Danu, was
enough to still aggravate the con-
dition of the already strained
nerves of the leader of the band
and to cause him and his fellow
musicians to make the bad break
they made.
1t was wrong for those persons
to make any remarks concerning
this excellent musical organiza.
ton, as it was known to have beer
organized by amateurs, business
men and young men, simply as
