Engineer. Have !. Grievance.

William Parr. ]. E. Walker and
William McMurray, three of the
oldest engineers on the western
division OF the Santa Fe, are IN
Topeka this week as a grievance
committee to confer with the Off
cials of the road. The Santa Fe
recently purchased the Colorado
Southern, and the officials propos-
ed to place the engineers OF that
road at the head Of the seniority
list, relegating some of the oldest
engineers on the Santa Fe system
to the lower rounds of the senior
ity ladder. The action of the Off
cials has caused much dissatisfac-
tiop. and where any two or more
engineers have been gathered to-
gether during the past week or
ten days it was safe bet that q
heated discussion Of the question
OF seniority was in progress.

STAR to press this Thursday evening"
it is wired from Jackson that Gov.
Longino has suspended State Treas.
urer Showers and placed Hon. Geo. W.
Carlisle in charge OF the cash. The
suspension from Office grows out Of
the discovery that 100000 Of the

August 18th, and the refusal of Mr..
Showers to state where the money was
deposited.

THE ADVERTISING FAKIRS'

IL seems that Scranton is not the
only city that is gulled by the adver-
tising fakir, Mobile and other large
cities and towns are victimized by
these frauds. The Union Springs,
Alabama Herald has this to say about
the oily tongue fellows:
THE presence OF "fakir" in the
realms of advertising in Florence
prompted the Florence Herald to give
a short editorial on the subject, tell
ing how such things are done. One
instance cited by the Florence Herald
is OF a fellow who made $95 10 clean
profit by so-caled railroad directory
that was to be posted 10 public places,
but when lie left town he dumped the
whole lot down at the depot and they
were used for kindling fires. We have
seen such things here in Union
Springs, and have in every instance
refused to lend our support to the
persons engaged in getting up the
schemes, for we knew they were
against the people and would do no.
body any good, except the printer and
the schemer, and the local printer
would always get the job of printing.
When fellow comes around with a
diagram drawn on card Of paper,
showing "valuable (?) advertising
spaces" you can put him down then
and there as some person who has hit
town and is strapped and is working
some scheme to yet little cash from
the business men in a rather "unSus.
piciOus" way. We have seen that sue.
ceed right here. Its explanation is
this: There will be about fifteen or
twenty advertising spaces, about six
marked as choice, each OF which is
charged for at the rate Of 49, There
are SlS. Then nine Others are sold
for from $3.50 to s2. Say $3.50. There
are $l3 20. This, with the $S, makes
$3.50. The fellow then carries his
copy to the printer and gets the job
turned out for not exceeding $lU. In
this way he has made clear profit OF
s2l.5O for less than one days work.
For, the merchants who desire that
kind OF advertising (which may never
be seen after being posted) could get
the whole thing done for $40 or less,
thereby saving $40. so or more.

OPIE REID ON THE NEGRO,
WHAT HE THINKS OF THE COLOREI
MANS PRESENT STATUS.

The cOl0red man as a sort OF poli.
tical ward OF the nation and as a sud.
den factor in the economics Of Amer.
ican life, arose as subject for the
magazine eSsaylst and the editorial
writer, says Opie Reid in the Chicago
American. History was searched and
comparisons were drawn, but the
negro's condition was without a par.
allel, with no light shining from the
past He was new feature Of a new
civilization. From the time that
Lincoln spoke the electric word OF
freedom down to the present hour he
has been referred to as "problem. y
Many causes contributed to his fail.
ure as politician, and as long as his
mind was mainly occupied with poll.
tics his advancement in the sterner
and more exacting affairs OF life was
slow.
Gradually he discovered that there
is no such thing asa political friend:
that work alone Is the mental and
physical salvation of man. Then he
began to advance, to become a proper
ty owner, to educate his children.
Real teachers we're few. Laboriously
he spelled his way through the primer.
After a long time men like Wash.
ington led him upon higher ground
and for him opened a more enlighten.
ed book. Now he is less of problem
and more of an intellectual and in.
dustrial factor.
They say that the negro is shftess
but who sees negro tramp? They
say that he is inclined to be regard.
less of the welfare of others, and yet
no hungry man ever appeals in vain
at his cabin door. To the wire.strung
commercialism he may appear lazy,
but In this laziness there is much OF
unconscious philosophy, the ethics of
ancient wisdom. "What is the use OF
wearing yourself out in order to have
money when you die?" he inquiries of
his critic.
