Of an innocent young boy is practi-
cally the same as making criminal
out of him. A new world dawns
upon his mind and he is thrown in
contact with things that he never
dreamed Of before, and from a de-
tective it will be but a short step and
a near cut to a criminal. This is not
intended to be a wholesale accusa-
ton against detectives, but it is in
tended to discourage the proposed
plan of making detectives out of
boys who ought to be at home with
their parents and learning useful
trades, instead Of legally lounging
about places Of vice for the express
purpose of spotting thieves, but who
spot more kinds Of vice to practice
than they do criminals. The old
adage that ''it takes thief to catch
a thief is quite applicable in this
case, and the parents Of such chill
dren should consider the proposition
of making detectives out Of them
long and well before they ever assent
to the same.

BLIND TOM LIVES.

From a reliable exchange publish
ed in the East, it is learned that
Blind Tom, the famous Negro
pianist, is not only not dead, but is
well and has lost none of his clever
ness in manipulating the keys of a
piano. According to this exchange
he is still under the protection of
Mrs. Bethune, his legal guardian,
and next season she will be on the
road with Tom again, giving per-
formances as Of yore. Blind Tom is
doubtless the most wonderful musi-
cal freak that was ever born, and
there is unquestionably no doubt
but that he is the most wonderful
musical freak that has ever been
heard in public, and the announce
ment that he will again electrify
audiences with his wonderful musi-
cal talent and ability will be received
with much favor on the part of the
general public and no one will fail
to hear him when he plays in their
immediate vicinity. For a long
time the right Of possession to Tom
was a legal complication, but it was
finally settled in favor of Mrs. Be-
thume, who is the surviving mem
Der of that famous Virginia family,
and she keeps Jealous guard over
him. Aside from his musical ability,
the man seems to be nothing more
or less than common idiot, and, if
he was not cared for by some tender
hands, the lunatic asylum would be
his portion. While this lady may
have, and undoubtedly will make
considerable money out of Toms
ability, no one seems to be
more entitled to it than she, as her
family and herself have cared for
him since his earliest existence, and
not only cared for him, but likewise
cared for Toms relatives, who are
comfortably supported out of his
earnings accruing from his work on
the stage.

CRIMINALS TO BE pARDoNED.

It is announced that both Cole
and James Younger, the notorious
war bandits, whose lurid lights Of
robbery, murder and treason hung
from a thousand camp fires dur
ing and for time after the late civil
war until they were captured in
Mortified, Mimi, some twenty-five
years ago, are to be pardoned. Per-
haps the hands of no two men in the
world are stained with the hearts
blood of as many of their fellow cit
izens as the Younger boys, unless it
be those of the James boys, who at
one time we're their partners in
crime. The Younger boys, having
been captured, were, contrary to all
expectation, given life sentences in
the Minnesota state prison at Still
water, instead Of hung for their no
torious crimes, which they richly de-
served. Now, because these men
have been model prisoners and have
not given the guards any great
amount of trouble, sickly sentiment
is to make their pardons possible.
Time, it seems, cures all evils; and
time, it seems, has healed over the
breach that the Youngers caused
with their own hands to be made be-
tween themselves and Christian civ
ilization, by leaving the paths of rec
titude in which they had been
brought up by sainted mother and
turning bloody bandits, with trea-
son, arson and murder not only in
their hearts, but in their hands as
well, and our latter-day civilization
IS to pour amounting oil on their
heads and pronounce them saints
instead of sinners.

DEMOCRATIC NUISANCE.

If the Post-Intelligencer loves the
colored men as it does, why not in
vite them to the home of the editor,
give them the responsible positions
on the paper, fire the white men, and
then see how long a Northern com
munity will support your paper
Tacoma Sun-Democrat.
In advocating equal justice for
the colored man, the same as the
white man, the Post-Intelligencer is
not advocating social equality for
the two races. There is a striking
difference between public equality
and social equality, and the man who
is not competent to distinguish the
difference between the two is HIM
self not good citizen, and, if law
abiding citizen, he is by no means
an intelligent citizen. Perhaps the
Tacoma Sun-Democrat would be
just as ready to employ colored men
to fill the responsible positions on its
paper as would the Post-Intelligen-
Ger or any other paper, or any other
business concern as to that matter,
if colored persons were able to fill
the positions better and more credit
ably than they are now being filled
by white persons. There is a lesson
for the colored man himself to learn
from this undue criticism emanating
from a rawhide and bloody bones
Democratic paper, and it is this,
whatever the colored man does he
must do it better than any one else,
if he expects to be employed as are
other applicants. The words of
President Mckinley to the colored

COLORED FOLK PLEASED.

The social conditions Of New Or
leans being of such a nature that ii
was impossible for the president OF
the United States to be entertained
by all Of the citizens at the same
time, it should have been very graf
flying to the colored folk Of that
city when the president gave to
them his first consideration and at
tention on his arrival thereto. The
president and his travelling compan-
ions were highly entertained by
1000 cOlored school children, who
sang 'EHail to the Chief and saluted
him with flowers and flags. Subse-
quently he was the guest Of honor of
from between 5000 and 10000 col
ored folk at a public reception, and
brief speeches were made by the en-
tertainers and responded to by the
president. The entertainment Of
the school children given to the
president at that place has been one
of the very pleasant features Of his
tour thus far, and it is one that he
himself says he will probably pleas
antly remember the balance Of his
life.

TAYLOR Is A WONDER.

Major Taylor, the bicycle wonder,
who has won fame beyond measure
in Paris by defeating all corners for
the worlds bicycle championship, is
the hero Of the hour in France and
Europe in general. He has met and
defeated the worlds most noted
cycle champion, and the black
American is followed about the
streets, according to cablegram dis
patches, by admiring crowds just as
was Sullivan in his palmiest prize
fighting days, or was Corbett after
defeating Sullivan in the memorable
New Orleans fistic battle. There is
one remarkable thing about Major
Taylor, and that is, he is in no wise
given to dissipation of any kind,
class or description, though a cham
pion racer, and though he races for
living, he is almost a model Sun
day school scholar, absolutely refus-
ing to race on Sundays, to bet on
races or cards or games of any kind,
and to use intoxicant liquors in any
shape, form or manner. A striking
contrast can be drawn between the
man he defeated and himself, for his
opponent is reported to be lusher
and an all-round good fellow in the
common acceptation of that word,
both in France and America.

MEXICO WANTS MONEY.

Like Alexander of old, the mil
lionaires Of Chicago are longing for
more financial worlds to conquer,
and, in their casting about in quest
Of such, they have discovered that
Mexico, though ancient and old, is a
splendid field in which to operate,
and it is learned from Chicago pa
pers that millions Of dollars Of
money belonging to the capitalists
Of that city will be sent to Mexico
with the view Of developing its in
dustries as well as its mineral and
vegetable resources. Even the Mex
lean officials, though for the most
part unfriendly to the United States,
are not ayerse to such developing
process so far as their country is CON
cerned, and have granted valuable
concessions to those adventures
with the view Of stimulating them to
early action. There is no doubt but
that such a course will bring about
closer business relations between the
United States and Mexico, and it is
to be hoped that the work will be
begun by the Chicago millionaires
at once, or as soon as convenient.

AN ITALIAN INFLUX.

It is estimated that over 100000
Italians have already come to this
country within the present year,
which seems to be the largest influx
Of Italian Immigrants in the same
length of time ever known in the
history of this country. While in
the past this class Of emigrants have
stopped in the Northern states it is
noted that they are now seeking the
more sunny climes of the South,
and it is learned from one of the
leading Southern papers that the
Italians are rapidly becoming expert
operators in the cotton fields, cult
waiting and gathering the same with
equal aptness to the native Negro
workmen In Louisiana Italians are
being used as an experiment on the
cotton farms, and, if they prove as
successful, and it looks as if they
will, it is the intention Of the
planters to import them in great
numbers for that kind of work.
Then again the italian is an adept
at grape raising, and the hilly Sec
tions Of Mississippi are quite suit
able for grape culture, and those sec
tions Of Mississippi are being desert
ed by the colored folk, who arc con-
gregating in the 'delta." 1t is the
intention of the owners of those
lands to settle Italians upon them,
and it is thought they will soon
make out Of such deserted lands
valuable grape farms Generally
speaking the Italians are an unde-
sirable class Of emigrants, but, if
they are sent to the rural districts of
the South, a few millions Of them
would not be out of place to mix in
with the native help of that section.

GREAT Is MCKINLEY.

More lofty ideas as to the colored
races success were never uttered
than those which fell from Presi-
dent McKinley's mouth in Texas last
week in speaking to the school chill
dren of the Texas State Normal for
colored folk. Among other things,
he used the following words of en-
couragement to them:
"What we want more than any,
thing else, whether we be white or
whether we be black-what we want
is to know how to do something we'll
If you will just learn to do one
thing that is useful better than any,
body else can do that one thing, you
will never be out Of a job. And all
employment is honorable employ
ment. The race is moving on, and
has a promising future before it. It
has been faithful to the government
of the United States. It has been
true and loyal and abiding.
,"Fellow-citizens, always observe the
law. In our recent war with Spain
your race displayed distinguished
qualities of gallantry upon more
than one field. You were in the
fight at Ell Caney and San Juan Hill,
the brave black boys helping to en-
ancipate the oppressed people of
Cuba, and your race is in the Phil
ippines, carrying the flag, and they
have carried it stainless, in honor
and in glory.
"The last word I would leave with
you is to be true and right to homes
to family, to yourselves and true to
God"

THE WOMEN EMPLOYEES.

This paper does not view with
alarm the increasing numbers Of wo-
men being employed in the office de-
partments of our government at
Washington City. According to a
recent report compiled by govern
ment accountant, the women have
increased within the past thirty years
at a ratio Of 80 per cent. as employees
Of the government, and taking this
as basis, he figures it out, that by
1860 every position in the Office de-
partment of the government will be
filed by women. Grant it that they
will, even then, where is the danger
in that? If the hand that rocks the
cradle governs the world indirectly,
why cannot the same hand govern it
directly? But in the women filling
the various government minor Of
fees, they are not ruling the govern
ment, but are simply pieces of ma
chinery in the great machine of gov
ernment mechanism, and only do
what they are directed to do by some
lord and master If women did not
render just as valuable service to
the government as men, there might
still be reasons for complaint along
these lines, but from reports sent
out, the contrary is generally shown.
The women are even more dutiful,
more careful and painstaking than
the men in similar positions, and for
the most part more trustworthy and
less liable to be mixed up in govern
ment steals than are the men. If
all this be true, then it would be bet
ter for the country if all its employees
were women instead of men.

TUsKEGEE's NEW BANK.

And now comes the famous Tus-
kegee institution with a new feature
of its industrial life, the establish
ment Of regular bank in connec-
ton with the school. According to
a report sent out by one of the stu
dents, the students and teachers of
the institution patronized the bank
to the extent Of $1,23230 in de-
posits during the month of March
No department connected with this
famous institution of Southern en-
terprise will be fruitful Of better re-
suits toward the elevation of the
young colored folk than this bank
ing department. Instead Of the
young people vieing with each other
to see which one can spend the most
money frivolously, they will seek to
outstrip each other in the largeness
of their respective hank accounts. It
will not only have a telling effect
upon the students, but it will like
wise imbue the teachers of the coun-
ty and state, as well as the farmers
thereabouts to hide their earnings,
at least that part for which they have
no immediate use, away in this bank
for safe keeping. And thus will this
school and its master become a
stronghold around which the various
dissenting elemtns of the Negro
race of that section will gather, and
form a nucleus from which they
may move grandly on to success, not
only in the section where this school
is located will this be true, but all
over the United States and even in
foreign lands will its influence be
eventually felt.

A NEW RICHMOND.

Unexpectedly the colored folk of
old Virginia have found a new cham
pion to oppose.the proposed disfran-
chisement act, which will be voted
on in that state this year, and this
new champion is none other than ex-
Governor Charles T. O'Farrall, who,
though bitterly opposed in many in
stances to the colored man being
considered an equal to the white
man, yet is stickler for the preser-
vation of the constitution of his
country. No man was more opposed
to the passage of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution Of
the United States than was Mr..
O'Ferrall, but who, now that it is
passed, says he believes it should be
maintained and protected, not only
in Virginia, but in every state in
the union. 'The constitution has
made citizens of the Negroes, and
the constitution should protect that
citizenship, regardless of where it is
found, and regardless of the circum-
stances and conditions under which
it is found" Thus the Negro has
accidentally stumbled upon a new
found Richmond as to his constitu-
tional rights, and it may be possible
that the stand taken by this Rich
mOnd will induce others equally as
influential in that state to come to
the defense of the constitution and
thus prevent class Of people from
being disfranchised and the consti-
tuition Of the United States, the most
sacred document that was ever
penned or printed in America, to be
protected from further fragrant
abuse.

THAT NEGRO EXHIBIT.

Whether right or wrong, a. num-
Der Of the leading colored folk Of
Missouri and few Of the adjoining
states have decided to have a separ-
ate exhibit at the Pan-American ex-
position. Such a determination, it
seems, is almost an eleventh hour
conclusion, and it seems almost i'm
possible at present to get a creditable
exhibit to the exposition in time for
it to serve the purpose that its pro-
mOters desire it to do. From an in
dividual standpoint on the part Of
the editor hereof such an exhibit is
wholly unnecessary, but if those col
ored folk who are interesting them
selves in the affair, feel that they
want it and are willing to spend
their money, time and talent in the
collection of the same, it is their
business affair, and no journal, news
paper nor periodical published by a
colored man should feel called upon
to place any obstacles in the way of
them carrying out their proposed
plans. Permit every man, woman and
child do whatever they feel it is
their duty and their wish to do and
there will be less race friction and
more unity of purpose on the part Of
the colored folk Of this country. So
far as the far West is concerned, it
has little to offer as an exhibit eman-
ating from colored folk, and vet
there are colored folk in the far
West doing equally well financially
and otherwise as any to be found in
the far East. Such an exhibit on the
Pan-American grounds would not be
overlooked by the thousands and
thousands of visitors who will be on
the grounds during the lifetime of
the exposition for the express pur-
pose of sightseeing.

west would now be a part Of the
British domain instead of prosperous
states Of the United States. Too
much cannot be said in commemora-
ton Of the efforts on the part Of
those pioneers in saving Oregon to
the United States, and the latter-day
citizens Of Oregon have done well in
erecting a monument that will be a
landmark to generations unborn of
the patriotic work of their noble
sires and government protectors.

THOMAS RUN DOWN.

If what John Edward Bruce, who
has been looking up the record Of
William Hannibal Thomas, the fa-
NOUS book writer, says be true, then
that man Thomas, who so willfully,
audaciously and with malice afore-
thought maligned the colored race,
is the most notorious scoundrel un-
hung. In speaking about Thomas
book to prominent man Of this
city not long since, he was led to
remark: ''Thomas is either crazy or a
fend incarnate. | have just finished
reading his book and likewise Just
finished reading the autobiography
of Booker T. Washington, and
must confess | never read two books
on the same subject that differed 50
widely. If Thomas is not disgrace
to the twentieth century civilization,
then human being cannot be that.
His scurrilous book finds readers,
perhaps numerous readers, neverthe-
less it stands as printed monument
of how low a human being can fall
IN depravity and yet exist among
people. On the other hand, Mr..
Washington's book is one that can
be read with interest and pleasure
as it neither portrayS glittering sue
cess nor wanton depravity among
the people whom he is struggling to
elevate"
