SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1900
THANKSGIVING DAY

There have been few times in the his
tory of our country when Thanksgiving
Day meant more to the people than the
day set apart this year. More than
$50 years ago the Pilgrims on the bleak
New England shores often designated
special days with special features as
periods OF thanksgiving for some pecu-
liar blessing, such as good crops, free
dom from annoyance by the Aborigi
mes, the arrival of a ship from the
mother country and other things favor
orable to the maintenance and ha 3pi-
ness of the colOnists.
Twice did George Washington ap-
point a day for national thanksgiving
after the Revolutionary War, and in
1915 President Madison named a day
on which the people should give special
thanks to GGd for the cute )me Of the
War OF 1912 And so Thanksgiving
Day is not peculiar to our times but Its
observance began more than century
before the establishment of our Repub-
lie.
There never was time, however.
when the day had deeper significance
than that which will hallow it the year
of our Lord 1900. We have a great,
prosperous and united country which
has taken its undisputed plsce among
the powerful nations or the earth. Our
business enterprises are fOurishing;
our financial system is sound and secure
and eur laborer is the best paid laborsr
on earth.
We have just entered upon an era
of progress and develepement, the
wonderful accomplishments of which
no man can foretell. We are on the
threshold of future marvellous IN its
possibilities. God grant that We may
meet our blessing in spirit of humili
ty and not allow pride of wealth. honor,
or glory make US forgettul of those less
fortunate than ourselves.
We believe that in all these things
which we have enumerated the Negro
American is going to share in no small
way. This great tide of prosperity and
happiness will sweep him along in Its
wake and he will join with other men

The SIGNS OF The TIMES.


hardly to be expected that men should
look at anything through glasses not
affected by partisan prejudices But
now that it is definitely known what
policies will govern the people of the
United STATES for the next four years
at least, we may calmly contemplate
our situation, and make logical ard
reasonable deductions from the condi
tions by which We are surrounded and |
hemmed iu.
In the educational field more than
in any other we observe a tendency to
wards a change of emphasis as it
touches the Negro. We were sur
prised and pleased at the trend of
thought on this subject as it was given
out at the great American Missionary
meeting recently held in Springfield |
Mass. There it was accentuated in
nearly every speech thst the Negro
needs all kinds of education-collegi- |
giate, secondary and industrial. The
apparent effort on the part of many ex
celleDt men friendly to the Negro race
to solve its problem by restricting it to
peculiar form of education, it was ar
gued, fallacy and absurbity. This
conference asked for both the indus-
trial and higher training for our young
men and young women. To us this
seems to be the only rational scheme
for meeting the situation, All masses,
whether black or white should have
industrial education; but the profes'
siOns will always demand that the men
and women who adopt any one OF them
for their lite work be trained in the
humanities, Indeed many profession
al schools make bachelor of arts de-
gree a requisite for admission to their
courses. The educational trend is to-
wards preservation of the ancient
custom of keeping the intellectual dis
cipline of the student on plane higher
than that of any other kind of training
When two such powerful organiza'
tions as the American Missionary ST.
ciety and the Freedmen's Aid and
Southern Educational Society take
stand for system of training for the
Negro the result 10 bound to be for his
betterment For the men pntrOlling
these societies have made close study
of the Southern problem for many
years and they know it thoroughly.
They are not likely to go wrong on it.
The reelection of President McKin.
ley and the continued dominance of the
Republican party In politics will be
likely to have some effect in the matter
OF disfranchisement of the Negro in the
South The overwhelming defeat of
Bryan was in part a rebuke to those
Southern States that have stolen the
ballot from their black citizens. Such
a condition as exists in our Southland
to-day with regards to the political
rights of one class of its population can
not always exist because it is wrong
and no wrong can endure long when
an outraged people are once aroused
as to its enormity.
The signs OF the times are hopeful in
every way for all of our citizens re.
gardless of race. There may be dark
hours now and then for the Negro. but
has there ever been a time within the
last thirty'fve years when our exist.

AT TRE SEAT OF WAR.

The surrender of Cronje, while a
highly important event, does not, ex-
cept In the person of that brave com
mander, materially reduce the Boer
fighting strength. When his retreat
began General Cronje had 1000 men.
The number that surrendered Is var
iously estimated at from 5000 to 1000,
leaving from 5000 to 4OOo uDaccounted
for. Some of these were killed and
wounded but it appears that large
force got through French's lines and
made its way towards Bloemfontein
where 10000 Beers are said to be as
sembiing behind a great system of
forts to await the arrival of Roberts
with the 5000 men and 10 guns that
brought Cronje's little band of burghers
to grief.
The Free State capital promises to
be ~ place of protracted fighting It's
forts are strong and well-mounted; the
city itself Is amply provlsioneo and its
garrison will be large. The chances
are that the British will have to be-
siege 1t, but they can do this and, out
OF their grand army of $4,000 men and
40 guns detach enough men to drive
the outlying Boer soldiers into their
forts. The ~est will be a matter of
Siege and eventual triumph.
We cannot see that the war is very
near It's end but all fear of further
British humiliations is practically over
providing Europe does not interfere.
Cronje's capture, however, makes the
latter contingency more and more re-
mote.

INFLUENCE OF THE TROPICS.

The Boston Herald, whose habit OF
jumping at conclusions about every
thing beyond the borders of New Eng
land we have remarked before. now
declares against giving Territorial
dignity to the new island possessions
of the United States on the ground
that the tropical climate is such as to
practically exclude white men from
residence, thus leaving the grave BUSH
ness of American government in the
hands of natives.
What does the Boston Herald know
or want to know about distant eli
mates? 1t is true that summers are
cooler at San Diego, in the southwest
ern corner OF the United States Main
Land than they are In the northeastern
corner OF Maine-yet an affidavit OF the
Weather Bureau would not make the
editor OF the Boston Herald compre-
bend and remember that important
fact. We know this because II has
been tried. IL Is also true that the win
tiers OF Juneau, Alaska. are milder than
those OF Boston-yet the Herald prob
ably never heard OF that fact, and
would not believe it anyway. So far
as the climates Of tradewind tropical
islands go, white people born under
them are not only as successful bust
ness men as their cousins OF the North
Temperate zone. but their sons and
! grandsons take scholastic and athletic
honors in American universities
y Probably the editor OF the Herald ha.
seen proofs of this statement a scor,
OF times and in a score of ways. FOL
they have appeared often enough Fl

The sympathy of the people of Ho-
nolulu and Hawaii will be with Sena-
tor Henry Waterhouse and his family
in their sad affliction. The news of the
death OF son who was away on his
wedding journey and who, so far as
his father knew before yesterdays
steamer arrived, was enjoying Euro
pean travel, came like bolt from the
blue. To the father and the wild
ow words can give small consolation
at this time. though the widespread
sympathy they stand for may help the
suffering ones to bear their burden.

print, but he never condescends TO let
them get between his bigoted provin-
cialism and the receptivity of his read
ers.
Nevertheless we should like to ask
the Herald a few questions. One is
whether the political and commercial
activities OF the white men of Hawaii
prove them to have degenerated from
the parent stock, and If so in what
way? How Is it that the Dutch have
thrived so well in Java? What signs
of degeneracy are there among the
English of India, taking Lord Roberts
and Rudyard Kipling as types of men
who were born there? Has the Latin
race gained or lost ground by it's mi
grafton to the tropical and semi-trop-
ical regions of America? Is it not
more virile there than it is at home?
Why has the death rate among Brit
ish regiments in India steadily decreas-
ed as their acclimation progressed?
Why is it that the birth rate among the
French of Algeria exceeds that of
France itself while the rate of longev-
lty is normal?
We should like to get an intelligent
answer to these questions from the
Herald, but can hardly entertain the
hope that it's editor will do anything
else than choose instead to keep on
printing the absurdities which he takes
for granted.

Tmogane Pant, street Inspector.

Mrs. Imogene Paul, the inspector of
street cleaning in the second ward Of
Chicago, was appointed by Mayor Har-
rison five years ago, and is a very pop
ular official. She drives about the
ward daily in a buggy and makes a
thorough inspection of the work that
is going on. She sees that the con-
tractors do the work as they agree to.
Those acquainted with Chicago say
that she is the only inspector in the
city that holds the contractors strictly
to the letter Of their instructions, with
the result that the streets and alleys
are clean.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Starlight In Pho, ogrsphy

Experiments are now being made at
the Harvard observatory at Cambridge,
Mass, to test the feasibility of using
the light of the stars as standard of
light in photography. II is the practice
among manufacturers of Photographic
supplies to sensitize plates with lamp
light of different degrees of brilliaDcy,
with the result that plates of different
makes have no comparative sig
nificance. BY substituting star light
for lamp light an unvarying standard
may be had, with greater advantage
to Photographic art II the substitution
should prove feasible. The test of star
light is being made by means of a
very simple apparatus, the light being
admitted to the dark chamber through
a small hole, and then, for the purpose
of calculating a secondary standard for
general use. by passing the pencil of
starlight through a lens which in
creases its brilliancy a hundred times.
By means of this apparatus the rela-
tive brightness of the different stars
and planets Is being ascertained as an
incident to the investigation.

Possible Profit In a Bluff BID.

A Dutch auction at Capetown is fire.
quently exciting. If a house is to be
sold the auctioneer offers Fifty golden
sovereigns for the man who first bids
$4,000" Nobody bids. A pause, and
then Fifty golden sovereigns for the
man who first bids G4,900." This Is
kept up until bid Is secured. But it
by no means follows that the house IS
sold to this bidder. No, the auctioneer
is then at 1t again. Say that e4,400
is the first bid. The auctioneer cries:
There are 20 golden sovereigns for the
first man who has the courage to bid
e 1900" Perhaps no one has it. Then
E25 is offered for a G4,550 bid. II
there is eventually no bid above the

saddled with the house. Otherwise he
pockets his bonus and gets off free of
it all.
