r4r Ogden OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

As yet we have seen nothing 10 indicate
that the South is to be benefited by the
sout bern trip made by Mr.. Robert c.
ogden and his party few weeks ago. \
circular OF The Get-Together Club has
been sent out containing an announce
snent of dinner to be given on the even
ing Of May %. at which Social and In
dustrial Retirement of the South is to
be discussed by some Of those who were
members of the Ogden party.
The leaders of the ogden party have
disclaimed any desire to dictate to the
South the course she should pursue to
bring about greater progress in her up
building. What they want they say is
to confer with leading educators and
others in the South as 10 what is best
to be done to bring about educational i'm
provement in the Southern states
But before they undertake to give ad-
vice would it not be web for them to
make some sort of showing as 70 what
material help they propose to give? 1t is
apparent that if they do not propose to
contribute anything they have no excuse
buttons OF Representations that
would be helpful to the common schools
or the institutions of higher education
they would be justified in asking to be
admitted to the councils of those who di-
rect the South's educational matters.
We do not know whether or not the
members Of the ogden party observed the
fact. during the Southern "trip, that if it
were not for educating the negroes the
South would be abeito provide just about
as satisfactory common schools as are
to be found in the North. The providing
of schools for the negroes, who contribute
very little to the school fund, prevents the
common schools from being made as eff
cient as they would otherwise be. And
the North is as responsible for the pres
ence of the negroes in this country as the
South land is wholly responsible for max
ing them citizens before they were ready
for citizenship. 1t is but right therefore
that the North should help to bear the
burden which the negroes impose upon the
South.
The fact should be kept in mind that the
South has not asked for any help. She
will continue to bear her burden without
complaining, but if she has to bear it
alone it would be but natural that she
would not find unalloyed pleasure in being
told by Northern philanthropists what she
should do for the betterment of the condi-
lions of her people. Certainly, men who
ride through the South on a railway train,
and stop a day or two at each of half
dozen places, cannot form as correct an
idea of the educational needs of the people
as the men who have lived all their lives
in the South and made that and kindred
matters subjects of study.

Bacon and Greens.

From the Denver Post.
The sweet songs of springtime are mer-
rily ringing
Out on the soft breezes with musical
swell:
The amateur poets are everywhere singing
In lines that sometimes rhyme remark
ably well.
They sing of the birds that inhabit the
bowers,
The brooks that are babbling mid fair
rural scenes,
The undiscovered meadows, the trees and
the flowers.
But never a MARBLE of bacon and green's.
O! that was the dish that our forefathers
relished
When called in at MONDAY from field of
their work.
A big dish of greens with its bosom en-
With generous slices of country-cured
pork.
Their lips they would smack in extreme
satisfaction,
Unioose the top button that served on
their jeans
To give them more room when they got
the right action
Upon the loved layout of bacon and
greens.
The women their faded sunbonnets would
tie on
And seek for the treasure in lane and in
wood
The tender young mustard, the sweet dan
delion.
And other green things that they knew
to be good.
From out the great pot they the fruit of
their labors
Would stack for the feast in the waiting
tureens,
The fragrance borne forth telling all OF
the neighbors
The tale OF the dinner of bacon and
greens.
New Workers may dine on hot birds and
cold bottles.
The Jerseyites feast on the succulent
clam,
Chicagoans send down their ravenous
throttles
Most liberal swallows OF home-doctored
ham.
st. Louis may feed on corn pone and mo-
lasses,
The Bostonese revel In brown bread and
beans,
But none OF these foods At for angels
surpasses
The old-fashioned hiln' OF bacon and
greens.

Three Simple Questions.

One day two well dressed young women
approached the desk in the reading room
of a big library, says the Savings Jour
from her pocketbook.
Can you tell me how many years
oh, that's the wrong list" she said, has
tily bringing forth another slip of paper
Here it is. VIII you please tell me who
is Rudyard Kiplings favorite author?"
Il am unable to tell you, never heard
that he had one," admitted one of the
librarians.
Dear me!' said the young woman, ir-
ritably. 1T is one of the questions for
our next club meeting. Well. which one
of Thackeray's books brought him the
most income?'
THAT you can probably find out by con-
sulting a book the number of which 1
will give you" said the official
'Oh, 1 can't stop to look it up!" she
said hurriedly; Il thought you could tell
me at once. Well, there's one more thing.
Bessie Cummock, my cousin in Manches-
ter, had a splendid book when 1 was
there last year, for anecdotes of famous
people. 1 can't remember the name of it,
or who wrote it. but it was about so big
illustrating with one finger on the desk
land it has a dark green cover. Now,
can you tell me what it is? Some day
when | have time 1 would like to get it
out OF course, you must have lit in the
library?"
For the third time the official was
obliged to confess his inability to give
her direct information. She looked at him
with a piercing gaze and turned away,
saying audibly to her companion:
There, that just shows what all this
talk about amounts to! Three perfectly
simple questions, all on literary subjects,
and he couldn't answer one of them"

There is an ungrateful church congre-
cation in an Illinois town. The church
members. according TO the allegations,
gave their pastor. the Rev. Mr. Harris.
various sums of money to invest for them
in stocks. according to his judgment. Mr..
Harris had been a stock broker i'm Chi
cago before he became a preacher. In
the aggregate the sums placed in his hands
amounted to 100000. He was to use his
own Judgment in buying stocks. Unfor-
tunately he gambled on the wrong side.
and all of the money was lost in the re-
cent furry in Wall street. The members
have now preferred charges against him,
and he has been suspended from the min
istry for six months. Had he played the
markets right he would probably have
been given a trip to Europe by his appre-
ciative parishioners.

Unless John Bull quickly gets a double
half-inch on to what vessels he has
left, he may wake up one of these fine
mornings To find himself without a mer-
chant navy. Pierpont Morgan has swiped
the Leyland Line for an American syndi-
cate, and now the Hamburg American
people have swiped the Atlas line for a

fleets taken out of the British tonnage
win leave quite a perceptible hole; and
it may be that other fleets will follow
them.

Many persons and correspondents have
noted marked change in the manner of
Edward since he became King of England
AS Prince OF Wales he was a genial,
hearty fellow, loving a good time as well
as the next man. Now he has become an
austere and even petuiant monarch. Some
persons have attributed this to a bad case
of the "big-head." This, however, is
denied by "one who is in a position to
know" 1t is said that during the past
six months Edward has suffered from a
throat affection. for which he has con-
suited specialists several times. As one
result OF these consultations his daily al
lowance Of cigars has been largely dimin-
tshed. Cutting off his tobacco has react
ed upon his nervous system. The real
trouble with him. said the authority re-
TERED to. ''is smokers nerves; that is
what has spoiled the royal good humor. ="

COLOR LINE TROUBLE.

The color dine trouble in the Union
League Club of New York has not been
settled by any means. The opposing
forces are preparing for another battle.
It is asserted that tickets have been print
ed and that from now until the time for
choosing new officers the canvassing for
votes will be lively.
II seems that the Executive Committee
was so confident that it would be sus-
tanned in dismissing negro walters that
it had ordered suits for white walters,
and had made all necessary arrangements
for changing walters. Those who opposed
dismissing the negro walters, and were
successful in their opposition, are inf1u-
enced, il is believed by outside public
opinion, and by the fact that it would
seem to be little inconsistent for Re-
publican organization to take a stand
against giving the negro a chance to earn
his living in the greatest of the Northern
cities.
As matter of fact, however, it is said
that the negro walters are much inferior
to white waiters-that when they feel Sc
cure in their positions they will not exert
themselves to please. 1t is claimed that
those employed at the Union League Club
are constitutionally tired.
The negro has failed to hold his place
in New York, and it is only question of
a little while before he will be seen no
more in the Union League Club. And as
414Io tn, Npu X.npl
and other Northern cities the voice OF the
Northerner is lifted up less often in be-
half of the negro than in the South.

THE GROUND RENT CASE.

Mr.. Samuel B. Adams, during his long
term of service as city attorney, has
saved Savannah many dollar, and on
frequent occasions has deserved the pla ud-
its of his fellow citizens. Perhaps his
value to the community has never been
more fully demonstrated than in his con-
duct of the ground rent lot case, in which
a decision entirely favorable to the con-
tentions of the city was rendered yester-
day by the Supreme Court of the United
States. His brief in that case was a
masterpiece of legal learning, exhaus-
tive research and logical analysis of law
and fact. The comparatively brief period
that has elapsed since the case was ar
gued shows with what convincing force
It appealed to 1.-THE most august judicial
tribunal in the world

Duke Heinrich is finding that holding
the job Of prince consort to a strong
minded young queen Is not altogether a
picnic. The young man, it appears, was
something OF a spendthrift in the days
before his marriage. Very foolishly, he
signed an agreement with his creditors to
pay them a certain proportion of his
debts six days after he became the hus-
band of the Queen Of Holland. When he
roade the touch for the money Wilhel-
nina fatty refused to let him have it.
Love was one thing and business an
ether, she said, and she declined to mix
the two. Heinrich had his income, ana
he must get along with that; II he needed
more he would have to hustle for IL.
The Queens mother, It is said, tried to
reason with her daughter and induce her
to let Heinrich have the money with
which TO clean off his slate But VIII
helmna has proven obdurate, declining
to entertain the IDEA that she married
both Heinrich and his debts

THE CANTEEN QUEsTION.

1t is evident that the canteen question
is not yet settled. Army officers feel
certain, if expressions in Western pa
pers are to be relied upon, that Congress
will take up the matter again, and will
greatly modify the law abolshing the
sale of liquors in the canteen if, in fact,
it does not repeal it altogether.
The Chicago Chronicle says that two of
the members of the committee that has
been investigating the conditions that
have prevailed in the vicinity of Fort
Sheridan since the canteen was abolished
have returned to Chicago unfavorably inn
pressed with what they saw.
One of them said that he was satisfied
that the abolition of the canteen had
produced disorder and drunkenness among
the soldiers OF the fort. The other men,
Der of the committee would not make a
positive statement for or against the law
He said that what he saw led him to
believe that there was reason for further
Investigation before coming to conclu-
sion.
The claim that is made is that while
the canteen was an institution of the army
the soldiers who wanted strong drink got
it in moderation, and what they got was
of much better quality than that which
they get in the saloons or blind tigers
about the army posts. Now they go to
the saloons outside the posts, and not only
get the very worst kind of liquor but
drink TO intoxication. AS long as their
money holds out they hang about the
saloons.
II is evident that this canteen question
will be kept before the public in one shape
and another until the meeting of Con-
gress. Those who secured the abolition
of the canteen will not yield the point they
nave gained, and the canteen advocates
will continue to collect evidence that the
anti-canteen law has had a most democrat
izing effect on the soldiers.

The Chicago Chronicle Dem), says:

perors look like minstrel parades. In Los

patches, e president rode at the head

by six spirited, milk-white horses with
yellow satin harness. At the head Of
each horse walked a Spanish caballero in

chariot with four horses abreast is not
such very long step"
The New York Evening Post Ond),
says: Editors used to make their news
papers partisan because they supposed
that their readers would not stand indie

dependence Is what the public wants.
Too many editors still make their news

on indecency because they suppose that
