Providence, r. L., April 3.--The State
campaign closed here tonight. A large
vote is expected tomorrow, and though
the Democrats are hopeful of an in
creased representation in the Legislature
it seems probable that they will make
no gains. The Republicans will certainly
control both branches on joint ballot
which ensures the reelection of Senator
Wetmore. The next Governor of the
State will be William Gregory, the Re-
publican candidate who will be elected
with the other nominees for State officers
who are on his ticket
The Democratic candidate. Nathan W.

Enect Of Manual Training in the
Industrial schools Of the
south.

The distaste which the new genera
ton Of blacks feel for thorough and
continuous work is most conspicuous
ly shown in their objection to follow
ing trades. Owing to The distance
caused by the size Of the estates in
the age OF slavery, which made it in
convenient to send for white mechan-
les, who generally lived in the villages,
it was the custom TO train negroes to
most Of the common handicrafts
There were blacksmiths, carpenters,
wheelwrights, masons, briclSiAyers,
shoemakers and saddiers ON all of the
most extensive plantations, and many
of these men were very slNillful in their
trades. They had from boyhood served
an apprenticeship with older slaves,
and for years had been called on to do
a great quantity of work. A craft was
often passed down from father to son,
and had thus, on the same estate, been
in the hands of members of the same
family for century or more. One
may travel now many hundred miles
through the rural districts of the south
and not come upon a single black me-
chanic. And this seems all the more
remarkable when it is recalled that in
the numerous colleges for the blacks
established in all parts of the south
ern states manual tasks have been
used as an important branch of the
system of instruction. The graduates
of these industrial schools either give
up their trades altogether or they do
not return to their native rural COM
munities as the most promising field
for such pursuits. In most cases the
trades are abandoned, because to fol-
low them would make necessary con-
fning and exacting life in one place.
White men have practically usurped
all the handicrafts in the rural dis
tricts, while the negroes still continue
to look to the tasks of the field for
subsistence. These tasks they can
drop in one locality, without risking
their chance of securing work in an
other, as would be the case If they
were mechanics. Such tasks they can
also perform with as many intervals
Of Incidence MS they like.-Contempo-
rary Review.
