Observations Between Whiffs.
rSpoort Sat I

A philosopher is a man without feel
ings and without regard for the feel
ings of others
An idealst is like baby crying for
the moon; but it is noticed that large,
round biscuit is generally an acceptable
substitute.
maker of epigrams is one who
seeks to clothe the wit of others in his
own language. The result Is sometimes
called original.
Beware of the man who prides him
self on his tact and of the woman who
says she is logical. The former is dis
honest and the latter never employs
logic for any good end.
A cynlc is man without ambition,
since he sneers at things as they are,
without helping to make them as they
should be.
A cynic is usually man whose wife
is a pessimist and whose best friend
is an optimist.
Geniuses are absent-minded, where's
as common people are merely careless.
Only millionaire can risk giving his
friend poor CHAR.

NEGRos IN CITIES.

The tendency of colored people to
gather in centers of population has
been noticed The Kansas City Star
thus refers to the subject in recent
article:
The colored population of Kansas
City has not kept pace with the white
according to the census tigures. The
town is now credited with 1885 ne
groes, as compared with 27,769 in 1890.
The gain is 1892 per cent. For the same
period the whole population of Kansas
City increased 1888 per cent. Rela-
lively the negroes have lost standing.
These figures do not include Kansas
City, Kas. AT the mouth of the kaw
there must be more negroes than in st.
Louis, where the colored population is
put at about $4,000
Washington retains it's rank as the
first negro city in the United States,
with $4,000 blacks. 1t offers to the ne
gro the advantages of northern liberal-
ity of treatment with a southern eli
mate. Besides. there are government
positions to add to its attractions. Bal
timore ranks next to Washington with
large as the national capital, the pro-
portion of negro population is far
smaller. The gentle city of Philadel-
phia seems to hold out many attrac-
tons to the negro. It's colored popula-
ton increased IS per cent from 1890 to
1900 and now numbers $4,000. Wash
ington's gain was only II 600 to Phila-
delphias $4,000. If this rate of increase
continues the Quaker City within a few
years will 'outrank Washington.
In several southern cities the negroes
are about ms numerous AS the whites
This is the, case in Vicksburg, Mem
phis, Charleston. Savannah, Montgom-
cry, Mobile, Wilmington and Baton
Rouge. Booker 4. Washington believes
it would be better for the negro to
remain on the farm. where the compe-
tition is not so severe or the tempta-
tons so alluring as In the city. But the
urban centers seem to be as attractive
to the young negroes as to the young
whites

TO AID THE TROLLEY.

The senate committee has decided to
favorably report the Blanchard bill
permitting the people TO vote taxes in
aid of interurban trolley lines upon the
same terms that they now vote them
in aid of railroads. 1t seems quite prob
able that tie bill will pass the senate
and may meet with similar favor in the
house. There is no reason why the troll
ley lines and other railways should not
be placed upon an equal footing in re-
gard to the voting of taxes. Indeed it
would seem there is greater reason why
the trolley should now be favored more
than the steam lines for the state is
largely thru with building the steam
lines by local aid. Wherever the latter
are extended at present they are usual
ly branches or feeders of one of the
great systeras now covering the state
with a network of tracks. In fact. no
new line of this stamp is now projected
without suggesting the query as to
Wldl great system Is pdChllB OF Dullu-
ing it.
It is different with the trolley lines
They are to be developed more and
more as time passes and population in
creases. They will extend out from the
various centers in the state and afford
the people n rapid, frequent and cheap
means of transportation. They will be
built in greater numbers here as they
are in the east. They will prove of
great benef. and convenience to the
people, and any legitimate aid that will
lead to their development should be ex-
tended by the Legislature.
1t has been urged by some that they
will tend TO kill off the little towns. but
this is statement born of fear. They
may tend To change some of the cur
rents of trade, but these trolley lines
will be open equally to the mercantile
class as to others. and with up-to- date
supplies secured thru these lines there
is no reason why the town merchant
should not hold his own. Whatever may
happen In this direction, 1t is certain
that the trolley will benefit more than
it Will injure, and they Will be built in
the future

FAITH IN THE MIRACLES.
Methodist Preachers at Chicago in
Wranale Over Resolutions.

i
| Chicago, Feb. 1S.-A storm of debate
that had been brewing for the last six
weeks burst at the meeting of the
Methodist preachers Monday when q
set of resolutions was presented ex-
pressing to the world the unqualified
| faith of the organization in the mira
cles of the Bible and calling on trustees
of Methodist colleges to guard against
heresy creeping into the professorships.
| The resolution was presented by Rev.
H l.. Rasmus, and it's reading ELECTED
applause from the ministers. which
changed to groans and expressions OF
disapproval when the opposition rose
for an attack on the provisions of the
instrument 1t was passed unani-
mously.
| Following are the resolutions:
"Whereas, The miraculous element of
! the Bible and the religion of Christ has
been violently assailed and called into
question, and by this means has been
precipitated upon evangelical Chris
tianity the necessity of reaffirming her
! faith in the sacred truths of the super
natural, and inasmuch as the question
| is now widespread in its influence and
| will not be settled by silence; therefore,
| be it
| Resolved, That the Chicago preach
| ers' meeting hereby express to the
world it's unqualified faith III the mir
aculous element of the Bible and our
holy religion, and that we will boldly
continue to preach and maintain the
truth which has made Christianity glo-
rious. the only true light and hone OF
the race, and put it not in antagonism
| to but supremacy above the sciences
and PHILOSOPHERS of men.
| Furthermore, We do hereby refuse
| to admit the insinuating assumption
| that the assailants of the Old and New
Testaments represent in any sense the
best and ripest scholarship, and that
we respectfully request the trustees
| and guardians of all universities and
! colleges in the future to guard care
| fully from those who hold such loose
conceptions of neutrality-suspicious. to
religiously imperiled and spiritually
paralyZed.'
I'VE want a label On all our institu-
| TONS" asserted DIR. w. II. Burns. the
label of strict adherence to scripture.
We ought to insist that trustees of our
colleges strictly examine the men in
the seats of the professors
The utterance was met with hearty
applause, and the ministers later broke
into still louder acclamations at the
following words from DR.. f. d. Hull:
I'VE ought to go on record to show
to the world that we are unalterably
opposed to heresy. Many one is en-
ployed as instructor in Methodist in
stitution whose views are unorthodox.
This is so even in the theological insti-
tutes. The spirit of heresy is creeping
into our publications. In the Metho-
dist book rooms even. In the Metho-
dist book rooms are sold whose teach
ings are out of harmony with the spirit
of Methodism.'
