ALWAYS Face the Engine

From the Pitts5urg Bulletin: In his
prime the late Mr.. John Cook, the
great tourist agent, was man of iron
frame. But when years of railway
travelling, which averaged annually
some 10000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms. he made a dis
covery that may be worth giving to
the public. He found that the threat
ened trouble, something spinal, disap-
peared when he no longer sat with hls
back to the engine. He always there
after faced it, and that the principle
is sound will be borne out by others
whom he advised to do the same. All
who are called upon to do much rail
way travelling will be wise to sit fac
ing the horses"

THE NEGRO AT PARIS IN 1900.

The United States Commission to
the Paris Exposition of 1900 has as
signed space in the Social Economy

the present condition and progress of
the Afro-American, showing, first, the
moral, intellectual and material pro-

that they are prosperous, progressive

demonstrate to the statesmen of Eu-

Problem" which is destined to be a
disturbing factor in European politics

Hon. J. L. Jewell, member of the
lower house of the common council
from the Third ward, has given
the citizens of the ward he so ably rep
resents business term of office, as
more improvements have been inaug-
Grated during his incumbency than
under any of his predecessors. He is
friend of the laborieg man, for every
measure he has championed has been
in their behalf. The Negro never had
a better friend than Mr.. Jewell. The
party managers should stand by him
and work to renominate him for the
position he now so ably fills, by so do
ing they will unite the voting forces
the party will be successful at the
polls in April. Most of the young men
of the opposing parties, black aud
white, are favorably disposed toward
the present incumbent from the Third
ward and will vote for his detention,
regardless Of party lines Those who
perchance may be delegates to the
nominating conventional that mode
is adopted-should bear in mind that
in the nomination of Mr.. Jewell
for the lower house success is assured
in the Third ward. Strong resolutions
have been passed in all the meetings
in that ward endorsing his candidacy

In no stage of the game is the Negro
wanted in the councils of the white
man, except when there is a political
contest on hand; then his influence is
sought and inducements held out to
capture Negro votes for party candi-
dates. After the votes have been cas-
and counted the Negro is not needed
Until the next political contest rolls
around. The Negro as political force
should unite and select their candi-
dates, as do the white voters.

Figures Are Sometimes Impressive

An English physicist in recent lee
ture, In order to bring to the compfe-
hension of his hearers the idea OF ulti-
mate particles of water, said that II ne
were to empty a tumbler containing
half a pint Of water, letting out each
second a number equal to one thou
md times the population of the earth,
1t would require somewhere between
1000, 900 and 47,O0O,00O years to empty
the tumbler. Lord Kelvin says that
II a drop of water were magnlhed 10
the size of the earth the particles would
be between the size of cricket balls ana
that of footballs. II that statement IS
correct, the drops of water in all the
oceans are not many times as numer-
Gus as the particles, or molecules, in
single drop.

Prejudice against the Negro seems
to be prevalent among the white peop-
lie of America, more so than in any
other country of the world. 1t
should not be so. The color of a man 5
skin or the length of his hair only
goes with him to the grave. If the
holy oracles Of the Deity are true, and
all men believe in them TO some ex.
tent who have been brought up to serve
the Lord by Christian parentage, that
all men were created free and equal
that if man dies he shall live again
The oracle does not say black man or
white man-no distinction was made
by the Creator, but against the teach.
ings of an Almighty himself has the
white man assumed to draw the dis
elimination between himself and his
colored brother When a man gives
up the ghost he is at sea whether the
mournful throng that surround his last
earthly resting place is white or black,
but he will know when Gabriel blows
his horn and the innumerable cara
van will shake off the habiliments of
the grave and appear before their God
in His likeness-w winter than the snow.

and business men of Kansas City to
extend to it's advertising columns the
support its position as the organ of the
Negro population of the city honestly
entities it to and justly should have
from business houses who desire the
Negro's trade. The Negro spends the
larger part of his earnings in the stores

probation on the part of the business
managers in not extending to the OBJ

CANAL TREATY WILL PASS.

New York. Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Prompt action by the Senate on the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty and the Nicara-
guam Canal bill need not be expected.
Nor Is II fair to assume, as those who
oppose both measures seem to, that
delay means the defeat of either meas
ure.
On the contrary, the best judgment
Of the conservative men In both
Houses who are influential In shaping
the course Of legislation Is that the
treaty will be ratified and the bill pass
ed before the close of the present ses-
sion.
Despite reports to the contrary, II
can be stated, after careful canvass
Of the committee that when the treaty
is reported 1t will have the endorse
ment Of all the Republican members
and several Of the Democrats. Indeed,
Senator Money is the only one who has
thus far expressed his intention of in
sisting upon an amendment providing
for Notifications.
With a practically unanimous report
from the committee, and with the pres
sure the Administration will bring to
bear upon those Senators who are now
inclined to insist upon an amendment,
1t Is the confident belief OF such men
as Senators Hanna, Davis, Foraker,
Morgan and Frye. that the necessary
two-thirds vote will be obtained to ac-
ratification.

FANCY BEEF CATTLE.

Fancy Christmas beeves sold on
foot at the stock yards to-day at the
highest prices paid in seventeen
years. The premium load of Angus
cattle raised and fed by L. H. Ker-
rick of Bloomington, ILL.,, arrived at
the yards at daybreak and before 9
O clock had been sold to Armour &
Co. at IS. 25 a hundred pounds. the
top-notch bid for full load of cattle
since 1882. Stockmen were greatly
interested in learning exactly how
the cattle have been treated. This
load of sixteen highgrade 2-year-old
Aberdeen-Augus steers was feed in
the open, having the range of fine
field of bluegrass pasture at all times
of the year and access to open sheds
as shelter from the storms of winter.
They were never tied or battered
in any way, but constant handling
and kind treatment had made them
as gentle and kind as any pet ami
NAL could be. These cattle were
taught to eat ground feed before
they were weaned and were fed lib
orally the first year, but not crowd
ed at any time After that they
were put on full rations and so con-
tinued until they came to market to-
day. Their feed consisted of good
variety, of which corn was the chief
ingredient, but besides the corn they
