For his vessels away to slip.

In the midst If roar and noise.

And thousands unborn will talk of Schley
When ages have rolled away.

But to each man credit he gave.

A REMARKABLE NORTHERN VIEW.
A Boston Man DISGUISE the Race
Question From ii Southern Stand
point.
Norfolk Nirliniam Pilot.

Norfolk Virginian.PilOt.
At last there has been found that
hitherto undiscovered individual, a
Northern man who can see things
from the Southern point Of view, and
found, too, Of all places, in Boston.
This Boston man has written Il pam
phlet on the Booker Washington din
ner, in the course Of which he says:
at is time that the people I'll the South
realized how hopeless it is TO win the
sympathy OF certain circles at the North
To Republican ianatics-th" rightiu heirs
to that band OF charlatanS who piuuder-
ed the SOuth in her poverty. oppressed
her in her weakness. and Knocked at her
in her calamity-thc contributions OF the
Southern people to the prosperity OF the
nation are without SiunIi!runcr.- 1t
means nothing to them that for thirty
five years the SOHth has fought the most
heroic battle in human history, it means
nothing that the South has supported
itself, paid promptly its share OF the ma
tionnI debt incurred by its coercion; con
tributed cnOrnOUs each Year to the pay
ment OF Federal pensions: developed
system OF education for bOth races. giving
one third Gf the educational fund to the
negro schools; opening up highways
throughout the land; wisely dlsCharglng
the obligations Of citizenship, city, State
and national, and devntiug Itself with III
telligent loyalty to the interests OF the
whole country. To fanatics ut the North
who, blinded by partisan rage, have
never kept Il pledge or obeyed II law. til"
South is but land to be drSpOiIcd, and
the Southern people but Il people to be-
prosecuted"
We have never seen the case stated
more forcibly or succintly by anyman,
North or South. 1t is precisely the
view that intelligent Southcrners gen
orally have come to take Of the mat
ter of recent years. They have come
to understand that there is a class Of
Northeners, noisy out of all proper
tion to its size. whose minds may not
be enlightened by reason and whose
malice neither time nor generous
Southern achievement can soften.
And, following upon this conclusion.
the South's temper toward this class
has changed from Indignation to con-
temptuous Indifference.
1t is a literal fact that'thc South has
utterly ceased to care for the chrOni
cally hostile criticism of its profeS-
sional enemies at the North. 1t has
learned that these critics represent
neither the intelligence nor the
patriotism of the North. nor any thing
else more serious or worthy than an
outworn fanaticism, impotent to ac-
complish anything beyond imbecile
railing.
Southerners have come to under
stand this. 1t is encouraging to find
that at least one Northerner has the
acumen to see and the courage tC
state it. We shall look to see this
view obtain more and more among
that class of NOrtherners who have {:
national and not a sectional outlook
upon affairs.

Don't make your business neighbors

REV. CLARENCE F.. EBERMAN.

Mr. Eberman is a large man physically,
tall, broad shOuldered. and with much OF
that amplitude OF figure that cheerful
disposition and German ancestry may
combine to give men who like Count
ZnzendOrf, for instance. are selected by
God to carry great responsibilities on
their shoulders.
Like his Master he was born in Bethle-
hem" but it was the Moravian Bethle-
hem of Eastern Pennsylvania, and not
the JudHan Bethlehem. This was in
1868. His ancestors were among the
first German MOravians who came to
this country from SaXony. Ills grand
father and two uncles were foreign mis-
sionaries, and his father was born on q
mission field in the West Indies

one well acquainted with his whole life.
that ne did not become IL missionary.
With six other members of his class OF
nine in the theological seminary, Mr..
Eberman volunteered for work in Alaska,
but only two men cOnId be used. and he
was not of the elect number.
Speaking OF his seminary work leads to
the remark that on Mr. Ebprman s broad
shoulders is n massive head which, since
he was six years old. h. has been trying
to fill for the Masters service. for it was
at that early age he began to have

BORROW NOT ANOTHER'S TROU.

Philadelphia Times

a philosopher laments that the peo
pie of today, instead of thinking most
of the greater good of the world, next
of the good of their own country,
next to the good of their own State.
next to the good of their own COM
munity. and last of the good of their
own family, have reversed the order
of their liking. He thinks this is
sad thing for mankind.
Perhaps he may be as right in his
opinion as he is in his fact. But the
tendency nowadays is to mind ones
own business and to keep out of
other peoples sorrows and troubles.
The peacemaker who stops quarrel
between neighbors gets more criti-
cism than thanks The nation is the
larger Institution built on the homes,
and thus we find these nations be-
coming less inclined as they get along
in life to take up the quarres of other
lands.
Most Americans have deep sympa-
thies for the Beers and wish they
might do something to stop the
unholy war that threatens extermina-
ton. We see the fulfillment of old
Paul kruger's prediction. that Great
Britain's conquest Of Africa would be
at price that would stagger human
ity. Other nations have their sympa-
thies. but in all of them sympathy
stops at the line of interference 1t
is easy to say that brave people
| should unsslfishly protect a weaker
race, but in this practical age nations
as well as individuals have about all
,, they can do in attending to their own
home affairs.

 A dollar was a hundred cents to each of these boys. yet here in broad daylight this villain was rolling their tickets into wad and stufting them into his vest pocket as he 'snooed" the owners of them toward . nearby hack.
 Imminent financial ruin made all des- perate. The future Secretary of State, convinced that lne moment for action had come. reached around for his chip munk pistol. and asked, in a terrible whisper, Shall 1 shooaY'
 1t was a. critical moment. If for ten seconds had been delayed the appearance of a policeman, a bold and piratical cab man might have died as sometimes the chipmunk dietn. But the poIlceman did appear and the big Attie boy appealed to him.
 Over the brow of the guardian of the peace, as the New Hampshire boy told of the appropriation of the tickets the demand to be carriage-ridden and the proposed two-dollar charge, stole a frown of deep and portenttous scorn. Said he 70 the cabman:
 "Ah. Mike. wot dyer mean, coddin' desc boys? Give 'em dere tickets I oughter run yer in.'
 Said he to the four boys, as they took back the roll of tickets. dug from a very dusty vest pocket:

 When one Little boy tells this story he wonders if there Is just such another wicked cabman left in this city looking TOT new boys from Concord. The recol- lection of his adventure puts conscience into his editorship of the educational budget he sends out through the State. Since the hrst visit to New York, in August, 1876, he has discovered many species of political cabmen lying in wait Tor political boys, and has endeayored to provide an adequate supply of political cops to meet every exigency.
