Booker Washington struck the
keynote of the Negro's prosper
ity when he said; "The oppor-
tunity to earn a dollar in a fac
tory is, today, more important to
the Negro than the chance to
spend a dollar in an opera
house." From the days Of Ben
Franklin to the Civil War, our
noralists had been urging upon
the Anglo-Saxon race the imper-
tance of earning and saving
money, rather than Of spending
it for mere pleasure; and yet the
same moralists seemed to think.
that the salvation of a Negro de-
pended on his getting into the
best seats in a theater. At the
Atlanta Exposition, Washington,
for the first time, made the COM

dience: Socially" said he,

question as relates to the Negro.

late in spite of extreme care. Charles
E. Cox of Chicago has designed this
new sink attachment to catch the
waste products before they fall into
the trap, thus making it easy for the
material to be removed by any one
without the aid of a plumber. The
device is composed of wire cloth
basket of fine mesh, which is sus-
pended inside an enlarged section
of outlet pipe, with means for re-
moving the lid and lifting out the
basket to empty the contents.
Around the central lid is a perfo-
rated rim, through which the water
flows into the slanting gutter below,
passing thence through a coarse
screen into the wire basket, where
the liquid is drained of all foreign
matter. Suspended from two ears
at the sides is a wire handle by
which to remove the basket, and the |
cover can be lifted by the sliding

gone back on itself 1t has steadfastly

the free silver howl, and declaring that

down the great leader, Wm.J. Bryan,

so vas :illating and mutable in its dec
laration and principle, and that can't
abide by it's own teachings, can't ex-
pect the people to support it. for the
people when voting would like to
know "where they are at" The party
that would forsake itself must expect
to be forsaken by the people. A party
whose leaders don't "know their busi-

There are many admirable
things about Booker T. Wash
ington, one of which is that he
has never sought to be a white
man. A Negro politician in
Washington, who had obtained a
smattering Of Latin at some
school instead of an education,
announced that he would be will
ing to be f1ayed alive if he could
only receive white skin. Book
er Washington, on the contrary,
says he would prefer to be Ne
gro to belonging to any other
race; which means, doubtless,
that he accepts the position in
which God has placed him, and
wishes to respect it and make
the most of himself in it. Many
New England educators made a
mistake in assuming that race
lines could be obliterated. Many
more thought a literary training
would give the Negro the advan-
tages the white man had gained
by a thousand years of educa-
tlonal development. A larger
number assumed that the Ne
gro's salvation lay in politics.
Washington is crowded with
Negro office seekers, and
with Negro office holders.
Booker Washington was one of
the first to emphasize, what
everybody ought to have seen
after the war, that the Negroes
chance lay in cultivating the
ability to do useful things, and
in the development of the moral
sense and moral habits, of which
a very different set is required in
freedom from slavery. The New
Englander made his place in the
world not only by his stern Purit-
anism, but also by his ability to-
make living out of the hardest
conditions Of an inhospitable eli
mate and a poor soil. Instead Of
the Negroes work days being over
when slavery ended, they were
but just begun. He needed tol
learn how to work in freedom. |
Instead of helping the Negro to
earn a living for himself, and be-
come a useful citizen, many Of
,he Northern papers after the
var devoted their strength to

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Some Suggestions on How to Frus
trate the Willy Moth.

ualc the WHY MOIn.
There is really nothing that more
delights moth than a spot of some
kind on a woolen dress. 1t be-
hooves one, then, to see that every
thing is clean when it is put away
for the summer.
Dresses, like furs, should be hung
for some hours in the open air and
sunlight, says the New York Even
ing Sun. An old or partially worn
out binding should by no means be
left on the bottom of skirt because
of the dust that must inevitably be
lurking behind it.
Cedar chips put into trunks and
bureau drawers are fairly good moth
preventives.
Newspapers are good for wrap
ping about clothing, because the
printers ink is offensive to the
moths.
Some housekeepers dip pieces of
paper in melted paraffin and lay
them when dry between the folds
of articles they wish to protect.
Turpentine has following OF
persons, who consider it the best
thing possible for the work. The
great objection to turpentine, as to
most of the moth preventives, is the
fact that it is so Objectionable to
human beings as well. You can
prepare a powder that, while per-
forming the work of a sachet, will
drive away the moth miller as well.
If small bags are filled with it and
hung among the contents of the
wardrobe, they will be reasonably
safe. Mix together six ounces of
florentine orris root and one ounce
each of carraway seed, powdered
tonquin beau, cloves, mace, nutmeg
and cinnamon.

NOT INDICATIVE E
Of Race Unity and Love
but Shame and Weak
ness.

Some of our journals (white and
coloredO are alleging that Mrs. Booker
T. Washington was defeated as presi-
dent of the Women's convention held
IN Buffalo week or so ago because
she attended reception given by the
white people, to which she was in
vited, in preference to one given by
her own race. This they say caused
her defeat, and indicates unity, love
and race pride, To this the Standard
takes exception, and would say If Mrs
Washington was defeated as president
Of the convent tion for the reason cited
above. it is an exhibition Of weakness,
uhame and jealousy on the part of
those who defeated her, and reAec-
tion on the race. II Mrs. Washington
had not proven herself to be truly and
profoundly interested in her race be-
fore this meeting. both in word and in
deed, and had not mixed constantly
and freely with her race, almost on all
occasions of any moment, there would
be good reason for such a defeat as
referred to; but she has proven her.
self to be race woman in every sense
OF theyterm, AMI it wasf her lote, work
and pride for her race combined with
that of her hus stands which brought
her to the recognition of the white
people, and consequently to get an in
vitation to one of their receptions.
Doubtless Mrs. Washington went to
this reception to indicate to the white
people that the colored race can and
do respect those who respect them,
and that race lines should be wiped
out where fitness and qualifications
are commensurate, and that black
face should be no bar to our social
MAKE up. TIE race should be proud of
this and not envious-proudI say that
the white people are beginning to rec
ognize the fact that the Negro from a
social point of view is worthy of &C.
ognition.
If the Negro would get rid Of some
Of his envious, jealous, prejudicial dis
POSITION, and become more ready to
honor worth, merit and character in
his brother, the race would be better
off. All over this country there is a
class of so-called leading Negroes who
are jealous and envious OF the rising
progressive Negroes, and will resort
to all kinds of tricks. and tell all sorts
of lies to keep one from getting little
recognition, and we say cursed be the
