THE NEGRO HE SOUTH,

The colored people of the South have been holding Christian and Educa-
 tional Congress at Atlanta, Georgia.
 One of the speakers at the Congress, a
 New Orleans negro. is reported to have talked rather radically as follows: ''The time has come when the negro should decide the policy of this country toward his race. If the white man won't help US, we will make him. It is no longer for the white man to say. It is for the negro to say-and say he will If the white man does not extend to us the helping hand, we will force him to do it." He also said that 'the negro in the South is not given a fair chance" The Baltimore Sun denies this and makes the following statements in SUD- port of it's denial: The South, although impoverished by war, has contributed generously to the education of the negro, using for this purpose funds that are sadly needed for the education of the white youths. It has given the
 negro employment on the farms and in
 the workshops. It has taken care of negro insane and paupers. It has, in fine, done everything for the negro which it's resources justified. It has provided normal schools for the train ing of negro teachers; it has not drawn the color line on negro mechanics, as is done in northern States. Its people have a more kindly feeling for the race than the people of any other section. There is no barrier against the negro in the South except that which sepa-
 rates the races on social lines That barrier will never be taken down. The most intelligent of the race in the

A small toad woke, one morn in spring, Brushed back his hair and tried to sing. He felt the world was all his own, And sweled and swelled in flesh and bone.

NO WOMDER HE IS TfRED.

It is evident that many of the sub jccts of the Czar are tired, but perhaps they are not more tired than he is. The job of being a despot in these days is not as pleasant as it used to be. Reyo- lutionists and assassins are around, and despotisln is behind the times. It is not surprising to read that the report is current in high official circles in Rus sia that the Czar has seriously express ed to his intimate counsellors his de- sire to abdicate in favor of his brother, the Grand Duke Tharevitch Michael Alexandrovitch. His Majesty is said to have become utterly disheartened at the internal condition of his country.
 There may be no truth in this report, but it is certain that the Czar nas hal trouble enough to discourage almost anybody. He is a good man as Czars go. and he has done the best he could for his country. He has also tried to do something for the world by means of a peace conference. But he is the victim of the system of which he is the head, and though it has been denied that he sleeps in bomb-proof vault he is not safe. He can't do what he is cred tied with wanting to do for his people, and he can perhaps see the coming revolution. Verify his lot is not hap py one and it is not to be wondered at if he wants to resign.

The contrast between the shooting of the American and Spanish navies in the recent war was so great that it opened the eyes of the naval authorities of European countries to the need of de- voting more attention to target practice than before, and, as consequence, it is known that there has been a marked improvement in the craftsmanship of the men in several foreign navies, though details of such matters are not generally made public abroad. The knowledge that this improvement has been going on abroad has awakened not only President Roosevelt, but officers of the navy as well, to a realization of the fact that if the navy of the United States is 10 continue to excel those of all other powers in gunnery there must be no relaxation in target practice in time Of peace. The authorities of the Navy department are convinced that every dollar expended for ammunition in target practice will be repaid many times over in the greater efficiency of the American gunners in time of war;

GOOD PENNSYLYANEA LAW.

There is much bad lawmaking in Pennsylvania, but her new law to en- courage the planting of shade trees is not bad. It provides for a reduction in the road taxes in every case where trees have been planted year before the application for remission is made, set out are alive and we'll protected from domestic animals. Films must be at least seventy feet apart, and naples and other forest trees fifty feet, except locusts and Carolina poplars. The roads so beautified and shaded must run through or adjoin cultivated fields. For trees already growing naturally be- side such highways the same rate of abatement is allowed, but in no case is the remission to be more than one fourth of the whole annual tax The act further provides that any person who destroys or injures trees or who carelessly permits a horse driven by him or for him to injure them, shall be subject to a fine not exceeding five dol lars for every tree killed or injured In this way the State seeks to protect the trees it is planting at so much expense.
 By and by when Boss Quay is almost or quite forgotten the trees which are planted under this law will be flourish ing. He will deserve to be remembered for having allowed such a law to be made.

Savannah, Georgia, is pleased, and with reason. The announcement is made that company has been formed and all the capital subscribed for big drydock for that city, to be built on Hutchinson's Island. Besides number of prominent Savannahians interested in the enterprise, considerable Northern capital is invested, and the dock will be built by parties connected with some of the largest drydocks in the country. Leading business men of Savannah are confident that the drydock will prove a paying investment, and will largely increase the shipping of the city. In this connection the Savannah News an- nounces that arrangements have been perfected by which the Hansa Steam- ship Company of Germany will have a semi-monthly line of steamers between Savannah and Berlin, and also ship to Hamburg when freight warrants.

The Mitsui family is called "the Rothschilds of Japan," standing upon a pedestal as compared with other busi- ness firms in that country. The line comes clearly from the thirteenth cen- Rtury, but it was not until 300 years later that they became merchants. Since that time the Mitsuis have been pre- erninently the leading business family, connected with every large commercial enterprise in the country and conduct ing many undertakings as much for public benefit as for private gain.

The St. James Gazette recalls one of MT. Gladstone's prophecies, uttered a quarter of century ago. He was speaking of Great Britain's commercial primacy. America alone" he said, can and probably will wrest from us that commercial primacy. We have no title, I have no inclination, to murmur at the prospect. If she acquires it she will make the acquisition by the right of the strongest; but. in this instance, the strongest means the best. She will probably become what we are now, the head servant in the great household of the world, the employer of all employ ed; because her service will be the most and ablest. We have no more title against her than Venice, or Genoa, or Holland has had against us"

DESERVING PORTO RIcANS.

Citizens of Honolulu naturally turn
TO the planting interests OF the Terri
tory to solve the Porto Rican exodus to
Honolulu. The planters brought these
people and want them on the planta-
lions. Neither the planters nor any
one else want them in the city where
the majority either live on charity or
take to petty thieving and sometimes
operations that go beyond the limit OF
petty crimes.
The situation Is such as to warrant
some revision of the agreement made
not long ago among plantation man
ayers by which laborers are refused
employment unless they are able to
show a good discharge from their last
employer. This idea suggests itself
