The special feature of last week in New
England was the pilgrimage of thousands
of worshipping Christian Scientists to the
home OF Mother Eddy at Concord. n.
H. Some of them Travelled hundreds OF
miles, and all of them stood for hours
around the Eddy homestead. patiently en-
during the fatigue, for the happiness of
catching momentary glimpse of the
founder of their faith. After much wait
ing Mrs. Eddy appeared on the balcony
of her house. and this is what she said:
Beloved brethren My joy in meeting
with you is my present text. When we
shall meet again will be my next.
think you will all agree with me that
you have heard sufficiently from me in
my message 1 will only look upon your
near faces and then return to my studio"
Including the time of the delivery of this
luminous and no doubt inspired mes
sage to the assembled throng, the
Mother showed herself for possibly i've
minutes. During those precious minutes.
however, her thousands of devoted fol-
lowers gazed upon her in rept and wor-
shipful contemplation. and then went
away feeling that they had been amply
compensated for their pilgrimage and
its Inconvenience.

-Defoe was born and Milton was buried

have just been presented to the Cripple
gate Institute by Passmore Edwards. The
name of this ancient London parish, by
the way, is a pathological curiosity. 1t
has nothing to do with cripples, but rep
resents the Anglo-Saxon "crepel geat,"
or covered way, which was used as a mill
itary approach to the city walls. Inter-
esting relics of this ancient structure
were discovered during recent excava-
lions.

cnIME AMONG NcGRoEs.

The question of the tendency Of crime
among negroes was discussed at consid-
| cradle length at one of the sessions of
the last days meeting of the Negro
State Teachers Association-the meetings
being held at the Georgia Industrial Col
Iege.
1t is not a difficult matter to explain
this tendency The wonder is, when the
environments of the negro children are
taken into consideration. why it is that
the percentage of criminals among them
is not larger. No doubt the negro chill
dren have some religious teaching, but
the neighborhoods On which they live
and their homes, for the most part, are
not calculated to impress upon them the
necessity and the Importance of leading
moral lives. They are brought under
very few refining influences, and they
are exposed to the vices and immorali-
ties which are practiced in the worst
parts Of the towns and cities.
1t is a safe statement that If negro
children were trained in comfortable
homes. kept away from evil associations
and not permitted to become acquainted
with vice in its various forms the per-
centage of crime among negroes would
be far less than it is.
At present there is among their race
comparative little public sentiment to
keep them honest and make them shun
things which tend to make them crfmi-
nails. A negro man or woman who has been
on the changing does not lose standing
among his or her acquaintance of the race
on that account. In other words, in the
estimation Of a very large percentage
of the negroes it is no disgrace to be a
convict.
1t is evident that until the negro chill
dren are given better homes and religious
training, and until there is negro sem
tfrnent that makes a criminal a social
outcast comparatively little progress will
be made in lowering the percentage of
crime among negroes There is wide
field for missionary work in nearly ev-
cry town of Importance in the South, be-
cause in nearly every one Of them there
is large negro population that could
be so influenced that the percentage of
negro criminals would be greatly reduced.
In slavery times the negroes, as a rule,
were on the plantations, and on most
plantations there were strong moral and
religious influences.

THE PARTIEs OF THE FUTURE.

Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, who was At
torney General under the Harrison ad-
ministration, is somewhat of an alarm
ist In his Phi Beta Kappa Grafton at
Harvard University few days ago, he
said that the time was not very distant
when the American people would be di-
vided into two great political divisions,
namely. those who are contented with
their lot and those who are discontinued
with their lot.
Further along in his grafton he said:
THE party of the contented will be
ranged under one banner, and the party
of the disconnected will be ranged under
the other, and that alignment will stead
lily develop. increasing sharpness and divi-
sion, until the party of the discontinued,
being the majority. has obtained the con-
troll of the government, 10 which, under
our system, they are entitled, and then
they will be sure to remodel the present
system for the distribution of wealth, un-
less we have previously done so, upon
bases wiser and more equitable than those
now existing. The one party will be, un-
der whatever name, the party of capital,
and the other party will be, under what
ever name. the party of labor"
Is this condition of affairs to be the
outcome Of combinations of capital? If
not. what reason is there for thinking
that ten or fifty years hence one great
political party will be made up OF those
who are in the ranks of labor and the
other of those who are sympathizers with
capital? While 1t is true that trusts are
no new things, IT may be that never be-
been such vast combinations of capital
as there are now, but will not the same
forces continue to divide the capitalistic
class and the labor class that have al
ways divided them? In the last national
election there was a pronounced effort to
wean labor away from capital. but it was
not successful Labor was so well salts
fed with its alliance with capital that
there was no clearly defined movement
OF labor away from capital.
There is. of course, considerable dissat-
isfaction with the present system for
the distribution of wealth. but has there
not always been such dissatisfaction
What other system is possible? What
other system could be substituted for 1t
that would be more satisfactory? Those
who get the wealth are those who have
ability to accumulate II. The great ma
jority of the rich men Of every genera
ton come from the ranks of labor. 1t is
doubtless true that there is injustice in
the systems Of taxation. The poor man
is taxed more heavily in proportion TO his
means than the rich man-that is. than
! most rich men-but will inequality In the
tax laws bring about the two great polit-
| icaI divisions TO which Mr.. MacVeagh
calls attention. Mr.. MacVeagh may be
right. but It seems to us that he does not
read the political signs Of the times
Alright.

LOOKING AHEAD.

Referring 10 recent articles in the
Morning News on the subject of opening
new streets and paving Old ones. prom
inent citizen calls our attention to the
fact that there are fewer vacant lots in
Savannah than there were when the city
limits were at Anderson street. In 1876
there were not two dozen houses south of
Castor street from Tattnan TO the east
ern limits What is now the handsomest
an fmpa ssabe swamp or vegetable gar
dens and old fields. In some portions of
it tall pines marked the fast disappearing
forest.
Had the city fathers of those times not
opened streets and provided for the
growth of the city, what a condition of
affairs would have existed to-day! The
authorities of those days did well 1t is
possibly true that many things done then
could have been improved upon. But full
credit should be given for the foresight
displayed.
Later, when the section south of An
derson street was Incorporated with the
city, the aldermen then In charge were

and it has cost their successors of recent
years many thousands of dollars to rem
edy the results of their dilatoriness.
II city is to grow with any sort of
rapidity and symmetry, 1t must be en-
couraged. People do not as a rule buiAd
houses where there are no well defined
streets; therefore if the city is TO go
ahead and increase in population and
property values there must be streets.
Good streets increase the value of prop
erty. and desirable property worth good
prices means more money for city pur-
poses.
The Mayor and Aldermen should see to
it that rlghts-of-way for streets are Sc
cured while lands are cheap. There are
glaring inst ances on record where land
which could have been had for street
opening purposes for almost the asking

cents per square foot. That was econo-
