In city. l know at least half a dozen
who earn fully $4,000 year, and a 5000
practice Is comparatively common This is
not mere guessing, but speak from a per-
sonal knowledge of the facts, cleaned in
the course of long business relations.
ITO be sure, it takes hard work to earn
such sums. One physician of my acouaint-
ance. who lives forty miles from a railroad
uses eight horses in making the rounds of
his patients. He keeps several at points
remote from his home as relays Often he
is on the go for two or three days at a
stretch, but he is healthy and happy in
spite OF the strain. and last year he COL
lected 1890 cash. He expects to keep up
this pace for six or eight years and then
take young partner and gradually retire
from active life
That Is the plan of most Of our success

TELEGRAPH POLES AND CALLS.
Average Life of the Former and Their
Cost.

Cost.
1.-THE recent accident Of the falling Of a
telegraph pole and the killing of lineman
on its top in this city reminds me OF SINH
lar accident on the line Of our road. said
the superintendent of telegraph OF one OF
the trunk lines which come into Washing
ton.
1.-The average life of a telegraph pole Is
about fourteen years if 1t Is reset: that Is,
has the bottom which has been In the
ground sawed off. and the pole as thus
shortened used again: or about seven years
If it is not reset depending upon the char
acter of the soil In which 1t Is planted. For
instance, a pole placed in the streets OF
Washington, where the sidewalk Is con-
creted right up close around the base, Will
last for years.
"a telegraph pole is like a gate post, in
that it rots around the weather edge on
the grounds surface. Above this line the
wood will be sound, and there Is less rot
Of that portion in the ground than one un-
acquainted with the subject would imagine.
Various schemes have been tried to prevent
the wood from rotting, including the appli-
cation of creoSote, but with Indifferent sue
cess.
Chestnut is the wood most used. They
cost from $3.50 for small pole twenty-five
feet long to from $25 to $50 for the big fell
lows used in the cities which tower high
above the housetops, and from which hun
dreds of wires are strung.
I'VE caution our men against the danger
of climbing a pole which may be rotted at
the base, and removing the wires there
from. The wires will hold in position
pole thus rotted. and, when removed, its
fall may be expected. l went out along
the line Of our road with a man several
years ago. and I cautioned him against
climbing pole which seemed insecure to
me. He took the risk a few days later and
1t fell after the wires had been cast of by
him, just as did the pole in this city. His
head struck against the rail of the track
and he was instantly killed. Sometimes
poles will thus fall along the line of the
railroads with men at the top or part way
down, and If it falls against the incline Of
an embankment or hill they escape with a
few bruises or broken bone or two.
Passengers in trains notice the initial
letters on the side of the block telegraph
combination like 'GM, for instance. These
letters are the calls of each station, and
are as familiar to the operators as are the
names Oh the towns they represent to the
public. On our line the call 'GM' fits gen.
eral manager, and from one end to the
other the general Offices among the telegra-
pliers are known by that signal. Other
roads have their separate systems and COM
binations, and the twenty-six letters OF the
alphabet are capable Of almost any COM
bination, and every combination must, of
the same road has the same call. A COM
bination could be made like this: The first
station would be designated as 'BA,' the
second as BIB and the third as BE- and
SO on down the alphabet to beginning
each call with the initial B, and by chang
ing the letters around almost any combine
tion desired could be made"

NEGRos POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Address by Prof. Lawson Before Lit
erary Association.

Address by Prof. Lawson Before Lit
erary Association.
| An address was delivered by Prof. Jesse
Lawson of New Jersey last evening before
the Bethel Literary and Historical Associa-
tion at the regular weekly meeting at the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church. on NJ street be-
tween 18th and 10th streets. The subject of
his discourse was THE Political Outlook of
the Negro as Citizen of the United
States" In his opinion, the future of the
negro in this country depends largely upon
his own action.
Mr.. Lawson said in part
I'VE are about thirty-six years removed
from slavery, and have been participants in
the political affairs of this country for
about a quarter of a century. We started
in under most auspicIous circumstances
On every side We were given the glad
hand of fellowship by the grand old party
OF freedom, and were welcomed to choice
seats around the council board Through
out the southland we had Representatives
in the state legislatures, and in the execu-
tive and judicial offices. Men of our race
graced the halls Of Congress, and looked
wise under senatorial togas But alas
our greatness has departed! Twenty-Five
years have wrought wonders in American
politics. The negro is going-gone! The
north and south have Joined hands to bid
him farewell. and his valedictory has been

tha ss1e Mheh ans Rs
forces recognition and maintains self-pro-
lection. That fact is recognized by citi-
gems of every comnss4aity. and by all po-
litical parties. and Yftt the negro is prac-
where he is most numerous.
Of course the republican party did not
disfranchiSe the negfcAa those states, and
should not be charged with that outrage.
And 1 deem 1t not OFT OF place to state
that the republican 0asEy has given to the
negro all that he has spplitically, and is the
best friend he has sfE this or any other
country. and yet thht party is not doing
principles that broughtI it into being, and
must keep it to the front, IL. indeed, 1t is
to be SO kept Other standards may be
set up. but they cannot tower above and
overshadow the principles of human rights.
Our poverty Is against us, and we too
often cringe because being manly would
take the bread out of our mouths, but a
great many Of us cringe when playing the
manly part would serve us to better pur-
pose. Our great need at the present time
is to get more substantial foothold in the
commercial world, out in doing SO we
should not surrender our political rights;
for rights once surrendered are seldom
ever regained. Polfteness shows good
breeding, but obsequiousness Is evidence of
inferiority. The road to political prefer
Eaent at the present time starts at the
counting house. and the man with the
biggest purse generally gets what he wants.
That is not the case in every instance, but
1t is generally so, ard he who reckons
politically without counting commercial
interests as factors in the political equa-
ton reckons without his host and can
never solve the problem.
THE cOlOred man has neither had the
foresight nor the courage to make himself
master of the situation, although he has
had votes enough to AFFECT the situation at
any time. His love of party is so well
known that his protests have fallen flat.-I
would not advise him to leave the repub-
lican party. but he must ally himself to
some great forces not wholly political that
will make common cause with him for self
protection. Those forces may be industrial.
or they may be; religious, or both. The
negros case Is not u hopeless one It Is
delicate and difficult to handle, but it has
right on it's side, and right is bound to
triumph
