The Union Station Bill.

II the Senate will promptly agree to the
amendments of the House to the union sta
ton bill. passed yesterday afternoon, that
measure may be signed in season to be re-
garded by the District as a Christmas pres
ent. 1t will be one of the most satisfactory
gifts municipality ever received. For
many years The Star and the capital have
been hoping and working for just this termi-
nation Of the fight against grade crossings
During the long succession OF sessions
when the houses were vainly struggling
with the problem. the desire was stronger
than the expectation that the two railroad
Terminals might be Joined. thus minimizing
the evils necessarily attendant upon such
establishments. 1t was not until after Con-
Kress had passed bills requiring the roads
separately TO abolish grade crossings and
to construct suitable stations that the evo-
luton OF the grand plan for the park devel-
opment of the capital under the auspices
OF the Senate District committee afforded
an effective means OF demonstrating to the
railroad corporations their full duty to the
capital city. Their acquiescence in the
project of a union station cleared the way
Of the greatest difficulties and now the bill
has passed both houses providing for a site
which commands the general approval Of
the community and under terms which, in
the light OF past legislation. are satisfac-
tory.
As the bill now stands amended the capt.
tai secures the elimination Of grade cross

Capital's Side at Scranton.

The case of the coal operators is now TO
be presented at Scranton, and the pubic
should follow 1t with attention. In the
closing days of the strike sympathy was
almost wholly with the miners, as the re-
suit of an impression that they had sur
fered not only in the matter of wages, but
in other matters. The operators were de-
scribed in severe terms. whether as mer-
chants, as landlords or as wage-payers.
They had been hard and exacting, it was
charged all along the line. If the picture
in the hour of great excitement was in any
of it's features overdrawn the public should
now know 1t, and presumably the pubic IN
that event will make the proper amend.
Business, we all understand, Is not con-
Quoted on philanthropic principles. Men OF
capital demand and have right to expect,
a good return for Investments But to
bear too hard upon labor Is a policy when
finds no favor in America, and is always
expensive in the end to those who en-

The Future of the Negroes.

A verse of an old dialect wartime song,
published some forty years ago, ran after
this fashion,:
What shall we do when de war breaks de
country up,
An scatters de niggers all aroun'f
De dashed abolition, bobalition 'mancipa-
ton,
Dey Is gwine to run de niggers in de
groun''
The war did not break the country up,
but the abolition of slavery took place, and
the negroes were scattered all around.
They are more widely scattered today than
ever, and their present condition is as Sc
rious and difficult problem as our public
men have in hand Is the old prediction to
be fulfilled? Are the negroes to be run into
the ground?
Observe the differences of opinion on the
subject Of the future of the negroes from
sources entitled to be heard.
Senator Morgan is a wise and patriotic
man. of southern birth and training, and
familiar with south ern needs and desires.
He is anxious to see the negroes deported
from this country, and he has in mind a
plan for colonizing them in the Philippines.
But is the senator wise and practical
leader in this? If his plan were feasible,
would the interests of the negroes Of the
Filipinos, of the white men in the United
States be advanced by carrying 1t out?
Should we not encounter violent objection
from all three quarters?
Bishop Turner Of the African NJ. E.
Church Is a useful and respected man
among his people, and he advises exodus
to Africa. He reasons little sentimentally.
From Africa the negro came and unto
Africa he should return. But the Africa
from which the negro came Is a very diff
ferent country today from what 1t was
when the negro was forced away, and the
American negro of today is very different
man from his ancestor who was chained
and shipped into slavery. Africa Is no
longer the dark continent but the arena
of a rapidly developing contest between
some of the picked races of the earth. To
send the negro to Africa to get him away
from an unequal contest in America would
be to transfer him from the frying-pan into
the fire. He is at disadvantage here, but
his difficulties there would be infinitely
greater.
We have then to consider the interests Of
the south in the matter of labor. The
southern planters highly value the negro
as a laborer. They know his nature and
his methods, and upon the whole they get
along with him pretty well. Should he
leave who would take his place? The Chi
naman? The Japanese? The south would
not for a moment seriously consider any
such exchange.
Need there be any wonder that the ne
groes are puzzled and restless when they
observe this conflict Of counsel in quarters
SO high. and INDUCED in without regard to
their just rights as citizens under the law?

A warning to those who
will give high-grade slippers
as Christmas gifts and who
may be tempted by the lur-
ing special prices offered
by others to spend their
money on slippers of small
worth lacking all essentials
such as style and depend
ableness. If you are not a
Judge of leather-if you do
not care to run the risk OF
giving slippers which will
go to pieces after a few
weeks wear, come direct
here, where only the highest
grades are sold-where they
are guaranteed and where
you're asked only the very
lowest prices at which equal
grades can be sold.
1t is with no spirit of
braggadocio or self-lauda-
ton that we state that here
you will find the only stock
of ladies' house shoes and
carriage boots worthy the
name in the District. The
novelties are all here = the
handsome and very fashion
able effects which the elite
of New York wear = and
which the leading makers
produce. Such footwear IS
most appropriate for giving,
and when bought here and
bearing the name of Rich
you have the satisfaction OF
knowing that it will be re-
ceived with appreciation.
Ii you want to give mems
or ladies' riding, shooting
or golfng boots, then you'll
find a splendid assortment
here from which to choose.
The same may be said of
coachmen's, buffers and
footmen's footwear and
nurses noiseless footwear.
If you tire while on your
shopping tours drop in and
avail yourself of the large,
easy, restful chairs and divans
on each of the three upper
floors. Make engagements
to meet your friends here.
Preparationsq for New
Years receptions are in
progress, and you should not
neglect the ordering of the
necessary footwear until so
late a day that. you run the
risk Of disappointment.
Every handsome style in
stock, but if you've some
thing special to4be made to
order it will require a few
days in WHICH to do it.

NEGROES BEST LABORERs.


Il am pursuing about the happiest
and most independent life that is given
to mortals," said Gen. w. r. Cox of
North Carolina former Secretary of the
Senate.
i am following that ancient and
honorable vocation that is as old as hui
manity the culture Of mother earth
and I get more solid enjoyment out Of
my crops, my herd OF shorthorns and
my focks Of high-grade sheep than ever
| did from politics. Farming in the
South has not been deemed lucrative
business, and yet If pursued with energy
and intelligence, it can be made to pay.
"Of course, we have to depend on
negro labor, but the blacks when pro-
perly controlled and directed by men in
whom they have confidence, are the
best workers on earth. In the South no
other sort of labor can ever take their
place. They have their faults, chief Of
which is improvidence, but they also
have many noble traits. The old gen.
GRAFTON that knew slavery, now rapidly
passing away, were lovable for their
loyalty. They could always be relied
on, and the bond Of good feeling be-
tween them and their owners is some
thing that only Southern people can
