There seems TO DC no good and sui
ficient reason why Senator Pinrose's
bill should not become a law. as it
would utilize large sum of money
which will perhaps never be called
for by either the real owners or the
purported heirs and owners of the
money. The bill introduced by Sena-
tor Pinrose is to the effect that the
United States establish a home for
aged and infirm colored people out
of the moneys, arrears of pay and
bounty due the estates of it's cOlored
soldiers who served in the late Civil
War. The exact amount OF such mon
eys has not been made public, but
it is estimated to run up into the
many thousands, and if this amount
was utilized in a large tract of land
and small homes established thereon
for the aged colored people who de-
sire to take advantage of it, it would
be a most excellent way of eXpending
this large sum of money, which will
doubtless revert to the government
owing to the fact that it will never
| be called for.

speaking about the Hawaiian
Islands, Professor David Starr Jordan
mas classified the 10000 population
as follows: 39,5O4 Hawaiians 3 AK
OF them being of mixed blood; 21.616
are Chinese; 24,407 are Japanese; 15,-
900 Portuguese, ad the remainder of
the population being made up of Amer
leans, English and all other European
nationalities, numbering 8,493. Of the
last number 5000 are Americans and
$500 are Germans. He also states
that the entire property interest of the
islands are owned by the 10000 Amer
leans, Germans and other Europeans.
while the natives own practically moth
ing and are mere laborers on the
farms and fields of the islands. 1t
would thus seem that something must
be done by the United States to
Americanize those natives or sooner
or later trouble will be certain be-
tween the natives and their American
conquerors. DR.. Jordan says that the
natives are not inclined to work, but
when they do work they prefer to work
for the nobility of their own race
rather than for Hiaole (foreigner).
The chief reason why the native hates
to work is because he has a horror
of being bossed by anyone. He much
prefers to be his own master, work
when he gets ready and let it alone
when he gets ready. This, perhaps,
has prompted the sugar planters of
the islands to try the experiment OF
exporting large numbers of colored
folks from the South to do the work,
which the natives refuse to do.
A Washington City correspondent
has drawn quite a contrast between
the Chinese and the cOlOred folk OF
this country in the way each of them
take steps to protect their racial in
terests in the United States. To pre-
vent Congress from passing another
Exclusion Act it is claimed that the
Chinese of this country have raised
a purse of 100000 for the purpose
of supporting a lobby at the United

Negroes generally take ill Interest
in politics, which is right. They ought
to take an even greater and more
general, and more intelligent and
comprehensive interest in politics. Not
that the salvation of the race-its adj
vancement, progress, prosperity and
merit of recognition-is to be prin-
cipally achieved along political lines.
These must be won by industry, study
efficiency, ability and faithfulness to
duty along industrial lines. Yet the
Negro race has been, is, and should
be more and more a potent force, and
an increasingly intelligent force, in
national, state and local politics.
The judgment, or with some, per-
haps, in one sense, the instinct rather,
of almost all Negroes to vote the Re
publican ticket is wise, and for their
best interests. While there are in
Vulnerable friends and helpers of the
race among Democrats, yet Negroes
have nothing to gain, in a broad view
of the matter, from the Democratic
party. AS a rule, if not invariably, the
Negroes must adhere yet, for awhile
at least, to the Republican party.
Yet the Negroes ought on some
proper occasion to do something to
show their number and voting
strength; to give the Republican party
an object lesson that will bring it to
a sharp realization of what the Ne
groes in the Northern states, especial.
ly in doubtful states, have done and
are doing for that party.
There seems to be but one way to
do this: That is, on some opportune
occasion to vote as solidly as possible
for some opposing candidate, some
good man whose election would do no
harm, but would show what the Ne
groes can do politically; what, indeed,
they have done and are doing, al
most without notice and often with
but slight recognition-New Age.
Congress is still debating the Phil
ippine tariff and it occasionally
reaches the excitable period even
aqong the quiet and sedate senators.
The Republicans do not seem to be
wholly agreed as to the kind of
tariff to give to the Philippines and
the Democrats are opposed to every
thing either for or against. The aver
age Democrat has no specific idea as
to what would be the best tariff to adj
minister to the Philippines, but as he
is on all other great public questions
so is he against the Republican ideas
Of this tariff. Anything brought for
ward and advocated by Republican
even if it is good is opposed by a
Democrat on the grounds that he
thinks it is his christian duty to fight
Republicanism, whether good or bad.

States Congress to prevent the passage
OF the bill. On the other hand, the
colored folk of the United States that
are working to the end of having
Congress take some steps to prevent
the legalizing of the disfranchisment
laws OF the South, have not raised
one cent, but are beseiging the White
House with prayer. Prayer, it has
been said, 'availeth much" but when
it comes to political issues it is very
doubtful if prayer will be of any serv-
ice whatever in such a contest. pray
without ceasing" is an excellent motto,
but while you pray, you had better
do some shooting at the same time.
Prayer and bullets are very effective
weapons, when used together, but nei-
Their one of them will accomplish much
when alone.

Professor Booker T. Washington,
who has been making some inquiry as
TO what the colored man himself thinks
of educational advantages, has writ
ton to number of leading colored
men throughout the South asking them
if education has made the Negro more
,sofr1 as q citizen. more economical,
more inclined to acquire wealth ana
more valuable as skilled workman.
He received 800 answers to his in
curry. and of these 27C were fatty in
the affirmative, while one was unquali-
fiedly in the negative, and the others
were of an evasive and undecisive
opinion on the subject Certain it is
that education has made the Negro
more useful as a citizen and more in
clned to acquire wealth, whether it
mas made him more economical and
more valuable as a skilled workman
are open questions, but, as said above
ne is not only more inclined to &C.
quire wealth, but he does acquire it.
He does not always save it; in fact,
more OF them squander their acquired
wealth than save it, but he has learn.
ed the art AS to being more valu-
able as a skilled workman. he has
never had an opportunity to apply
even what he has learned along this
line, and until the fields of industry
are open to his labors nothing can be
said as to his usefulness as a skilled
laborer.

OF ROADS
Iowa Executive Council Is After
More Information.
THE RULE FOR NET EARNINGS
Monthly Reports of Gross Earnings
Will Be Required-New English
Law Provisions.
Special to The Journal,

oFeCld1 " 1uS JCurudl.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 13.-The .execu-
tive council has adopted the rules and
regulations required by, the new English
law, prescribing the methods to be fol-
lowed by the railroad companies in max
ing reports of gross and net earnings and
operating expenses for assessment pur-
poses. The rules are not drastic, though
1t is expected they will materially in
securing additional information needed in
determining assessments. -
The most important feature of the rules
Is the law laid down for the determination
of net earnings The general rule is that
whatever expense is incurred to preserve
the property In the physical condition ex-
listing when the material, building, struc-
ture or equipment replaced, renewed or
repaired was originally put in use and to
operate 1t, is to be deducted from the
gross earnings in order to ascertain the
net earnings
The council requires that any expense
required to put the property in better
condition than 1t originally was, shall be
charged to bettermentS and not to NAM
tenance or operating expenses. The con-
tention Of the representatives Of the roads
was that in replacing, renewing or re-
pairing any property they should be al
lowed to charge everything to mainten-
ance and operation, even II In the pro-
cess of replacing, renewing or repairing
er standard than it was originally. This
system has been practiced heretofore and
the result OF it has been to cut down the
net earnings largely. As illustrative o1
the change required by the council, one
rule prescribes: t1n renewals of rolling
stock it shall be ascertained what the
engine or car renewed or one OF Hike Ell
cheney would cost and such amount snail
be charged to maintenance and any excess
| to betterment." -,
Monthly reports of gross earnings will
be required hereafter. The report OF
! gross earnings for the month of April is
! to be made on or before July / of this
year and thereafter monthly reports must
be made The executive council in
making the assessment this year VIII gel
the benefit of but little Of the information
| required under the rules adopted. In ad-
dition to the information now at
| hand, it will have the report
| of gross earnings for April only
which will be of advantage only in an in
direct way.

BANKERS MEET
The Association Holds Its
Opening Session in
Kansas City.

Kansas City, May 13.-The Bankers
convention opened here to-day. One Of
the first speakers was Thomas P. Patton,
editor of the Banking Law Journal. He
said in part:
The law governing bills, notes, checks and
the dealings Of bankers is the result of a
peculiar process, 1t consists of a body OF
rules which have been built up piecemeal by
judicial decisions founded on custom. 1t has
been developed out of the disputes OF men.
Mr.. Patton pointed out many instances
OF conflicting state laws and showed, as
the result of the present condition of the
law made up so largely of Independent
and antagonistic state rules, that great
losses are caused to the mercantile and
banking community and that commercial
transactions between the states are ham
pered. -...- ..
OF late years the condition 1of the law
governing bills, notes and checks, when
used in interstate dealings, had been i'm
proved by the enactment of the uniform
negotiable instruments law which up to
date has been enacted in seventeen of the
states and territories besides the Dis
trict of Columbia. - e. d.
