a JUDICIAL VIEW OF THE RACE
PROBLEM.

In an eloquent and appropriate
charge to the grand jury yesterday
Judge Speer presented some interest,"
ing views on the race problem. Even
those who do not agree that his solu-
ton Of the problem is the correct one,
cannot but find pleasure in reading the
charge in which it Is presented.
There is no doubt, of course, that
it would be far better for both the
white and the black races If there were
"even-handed, righteous. rigid and
never varying enforcement of our laws,
not alone against the blacks. but
against the white wrongdoer also" but
1t is far from certain that such en-
forcement would bring about the hap
py result that Judge Speer seems to
think it would. However just judges
and juries may be in the administra
ton of justice, it is yet to be shown
that two races. one superior to the
other, races that do not assimilate, can,
If clothed with the same political rights
and striving for intellectual develop
ment and material improvement, get
along amicably together.
AS Judge Speer says, the deporta-
ton of the negroes is an impossibility.
and that solution of the race problem
isn't TO be thought of, but we are not
so sure that the disappearance of the
black race from the South would leave
the Southern states the barren waste
Judge Speer thinks 1t would. 1t is be-
inc abt,pda ptIv dapoopa+ratod that the
white man can do as we'll in the cotton
field as the negro. To a greater ex-
tent every year the cotton crop is
made with white labor. 1t is per-
haps not too much to say that more
than half of it is now the product of
people having white skins.
If all of the negroes were to go at
once there would. of course, be troub-
lous times in the South, but II they
were to so gradually their places
would be taken by white people, and
with population wholly white the
South would develop much more rap
idly than it is developing with its large
negro population. The white man is a
builder and a developer. The negro
has to be carried along. He is con-
tent If he knows where his dinner is
coming from Tomorrow.
AS Judge Speer says, the negroes
are kindly race, and the crimes that
are charged against them are commit
ted by the bad ones among them, but
it doesn't follow that the solution of
the race problem depends upon treat
~, II y,and incftCo ha
appeal for even-handed justice admits
the difference between the races that
makes the problem.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer Oem)
says: Senator Hanna is naturally
not carried away by the flood of presi-
dental booms. EIe is an experienced
politician, and he has seen many waves
rise portentfously and go down sud-
denly. He would probably rather re-
strain some of the water in his presi-
Dental stock till by letting it go sud-
denly at the right time it will do the
most good"
The Charleston News and Courier
(Dem.) says: Before sailing for Eu-
rope last week, William Jennings Bry-
an is reported to have said Mr.
Cleveland has done more business on
less capital than any man who has
ever held so high an Office as Presi-
dent of the United States But Mr..
Bryan ought to remember that Mr..
Cleveland had to depend on his own
exertions and not on rich friends like
Philo s. Bennett to aid him in his
work"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) says: The recent advances in
the price of kerosene oil were said to
be due to a declining supply of crude
petroleum in the Pennsylvania oil
fields. Still it is to be noticed that
the Standard oil monopoly declares an
increased dividend for the current
quarter of the year-$12 a share, or 10
per cent, compared with 10 per cent.
a year ago; making a total dividend
payment for the calendar year of A
per cent, comparing with As per cent.
last year and As per cent. in each of
the two previous years. Thus it APP
pears that whatever the company lost
from higher prices for crude oil was
successfully passed along to the con-
sumers of refined oil. Not for a mo-
ment was the loss to be permitted to
come out of the inordinate profits of
the trust"
The Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) says:
ITO justify this despoiling of a weak
neighbor, so our Washington CORE
spondent telegraphs us, the Republi-
cans are citing with triumph the Dem
ocratic platform of 1856. In those days,
undoubtedly, the Democratic party was
given over to lingo aggression, as the
Republican party is to-day. But in this
exchange of principles, it will certain

spect unworthy of American diplomacy.

A TROUBLESOME QUESTION SET
TIED.

At last the much discussed grade
crossing question is settled, and set
tied so it is believed, to the satisfac-
tion of all parties-the people, the city,
the steam and electric railway COM
panies. 1t has been a number of years
since this question was raised, and all
that time there has been apprehension
of an accident of an appalling char
acter at the Bolton and Gwinnett
street crossings. Especially on Sun
days, and nights during the summer
season, was there constant fear of
danger of an accident at these cross
ings, because the street cars, filed
with people. were crossing the railway
tracks with great frequency.
1t seems that for the present there
is to be tunnel under Gwinnett street,
and Waldburg street is to opened and
probably tunnelled. Habersham, Thir-
ty-seventh and Thirty-ninth streets
are also to be opened.
The city worked at this question for
a long time, but found so many OBJ
stacles in the way that it could make
but slow progress. Apparently the
steam and electric railways understood
the necessity for abolishing the grade
crossings on the road to Thunderbolt,
but neither seemed to want to bear
its share of the expense of the i'm
provement. Doubtless the accident in
on the west side of the city some
months ago reused them to the i'm
portance, of acting promptly. An ac-
cident that would cost a great deal
more than the proposed improvement
was likely to occur at any time.
There ought to be no delay in MAX
ing the changes that have been agreed
upon. The Gwinnett street tunnel
should be completed before the close of
winter when the travel to Thunderbolt
will become heavy. And the city
shouldn't rest satisfied until grade
crossings are abolished wherever there
is great danger of a collision between
the trains on the steam roads and the
street railway cars.

What He Saw in Europe.

From the Newark IN. J) News.
He had travelled over Europe, from the
Land of Midnight Sun
To the shores of ancient Sicily, and
now his jaunt was done;
He was back in dear America, and
busy with his jaw
Recounting his adventures and the Gu
rious sights he saw.
"Oh, it's wonderful the things you see.
the customs you observe
If you keep your eyelids open wide and
don't forget your nerve,
I was strolling round in Paris, through
a shady, quiet street,
When 1 saw an aged gentleman sit
down outdoors to eat.
Il was gazing from a window in the
town of Rotterdam,
When l saw lady walking there with
manner cool and calm;
She stepped right up before my eyes,
as if she didn't care,
And boldly dropped a letter in a mall
box standing there!
And 1 never can forget the day 1 got
to Liverpool
I saw a little English boy upon his
way to school,
And fancy my intense surprise on
reaching London town
To find a shop conducted by a gentle
man named Brown!
But the oldest thing! At Dover.

the clerk and he said five dollars.

thing else?' He looked shy, and

If the Old Testament day" was 1000
years why not so translate it? Some
times a rabbi speaks of a day as one
year, says the New York Press. A
popular Hebrew minister of the East
Side tells this story: In a little town
in Poland lived a widow who had an
only child, a daughter, for whom she
desired a husband, as the girl was no
longer of tender years, and succeeded
in interesting a poor Jewish student
who was studying at the synagogue
to become a rabbi. He decided to de-
sert the ranks of celibacy after the
prospective mother-in-law had prom
Used to provide for him with seven
years of "kest," which means free
board, lodging, clothing, etc. This GUS
tom exists to-day among the European
Jews. The widow was delighted with
her purchase, because it is considered
an honor to have a son-inlaw pos
sessed of great Talmudic learning.
On the eighth day after the wedding
the widow changed her mind, inform
ing her son-in-law that he must hustle
for himself. She added that she had
provided him with seven days living
gratis, and had therefore kept her
promise, as she regarded one day as
one year. The young man went to
the synagogue that day as usual and
did lot of thinking. When three days
had passed he sued for divorce on the
ground that his wife had borne him
no children. The rabbi before whom
the case was brought appeared to be
greatly shocked. The student called his
attention to law in the Talmud which
says that if a man has lived with his
wife ten years and she bears no chill
dren in that period he has suitable
grounds for divorce. Now, he had
lived with his wife ten days and she
had no children; as he considered each
day as one year he was entitled to
be free. The widow was so struck
with the cleverness of her son-in-law
that she kept her original promise and
paid an the bills.
