Colored ColonIsts.

Georgia Anderson, a colored woman,
after spending six years in Africa as q
me uiber of a party Of oolored colonists
from the South, is in Savannah organ.
king another party Of emigrauts. So
far she has received great encourage
ment in her work, she says, and has
no doubt that when she is ready to re-
turn,to Monrovia, which will not be
later than September, she will have q
large number Of people to make the
trip with her.
The woman is a native of Anderson,
s. O. She sailed from Savannah in
1895, being one Of the largest party
that ever sailed from this sevtion Of
the country, 2323. OF these she says
but twenty died during the six years
she lived among them. The remain
der are all prosperous, she says. Each
married man, upon his arrival, was
given twenty-five acres Of land, and
ea oh single man ten acres, and these
lots they have since lived on and cul-
tivated.
The land, it is said, is extremely
fertile, requires hardly any cultiva-
tion and grows in abundance all sorts
OF tropical and semi-tropioal fruits and
vegetables. In addition, game Of GER
tain sorts is quite plentiful. In this
category are included squirrels, pos
sums, groundhogs and various deer
and bears.
The emigsauts are all satisfied with
:he:- !e., enjoying i@==.sse sme.n. &c
prosperity, and with much lass labor
than was required of.saem in this
country.
Georgia Anderson, who has been a
missionary for several years, returned
to this country in the interest Of an
industrial training school which is to
be established ct Freetown, Sierra
Leone, and she has now been here q
year or so working for such an institu.
ton. The school is intended for the
benefit Of the heather children.
The effort to secure emigrants has
just been started. The promoter Of
the enterprise says she has no person
al end in view and has taken up the
work only because she wishes to see
her race benefited. The greatest trou-
BILE she has had to contend with 80 far
has been overcoming the prejudice CT
those persons who have been swindled
or duped by concerns that claim to be
emigration societies.
In consequence Of this feeling the
missionary has found it advisable to
arrange for satisfactory and cheap
transportation from Savannah to New
York and thence to Monrovia before
che goes on further with the work Of
securing people to make the "trip. s.She
is now engaged in this work and hopes
to have her plans completed shortly.

OF art 10 suit the passing taste Of the multitude
Every true artist has deliberately 10 face the
possibility, or even probability. that his work
VIII not be recognized in his lifetime, and, in this
respect, as in many others, the artist is essen
TALLY Differentiated from actors. conductors, etc
No; money reward is neither the aim the
criterion OF true art The aim Of the true artist
IS true art, and the test OF true art is conpari-
son with true art But what the true artist
does desire, and nowadays siCkens for IN vain,
is the recognition by his countrymen Of. art as
q labor and a study essential to the health OF
mind and emotion of everv civilized people The
true artist knows that his craft arises out OF
the needs Of the people just as much II not
more than does the craft Of the politician or the
soldier. For this reason he knows that 1t de-
Tauds just as much study, self-saCrffCe, ex-
perse Of mental energy, concentration and many
other such qualities, both natural and acquired
and he bitterly resents the modern amused sneer
especially among the upper Classes-that glin-
rrers always over his labor. which he ranks
equal with the other activities necessary TO
wholesome national life and which is just
Iu0us and in many respects more trying.
In 4 word. what the true artist asks for (as
concession 70 his human weakness) is justice
recognition IF his high calling.

Waiting to e.LO as before

Under the silent flowers instead
The spring winds in the lilacs play
Beside the old wall where he lies.

Then ask not - he wakes again:
He reddled not in things too deep.

nj as an appotntI,e officer there would

but as an appOintiye officer there would
be less risk to encounter.
These are the suggestions Of an ex-
perienced assessor. who also advises
that the time of county equalization
should be increased. Let the board
hold a ten days session in July and a
three days session in August for clear
ing up unfinished business.
The additional expense for the as
sessment under the plan suggested
would be about six hundred dollars.
but the work will be hat much better
done In counties like Carbon and
Uinta, where there are many towns,
the present system is necessarily un-
satisfactory. and as the state settles up
the need of the assistance OF deputies
will be increased. Provision should
therefore be made for their appoint.
ment and compensation by the coun.
ties.
The former law on this subject was
not so bad until it was unwisely
amended. and the best plan would p>
to adopt an entire new statute, taking
advantage of the legislation of Other
states, which has proved a success ant
stood the test of the courts.-Leader.

A NEW ASSESSMENT LAW.

While the matter of unequal taxa
ton is before the public. the question
OF assessment is particularly deserv-
ing Of consideration. The counties
have not given the amount Of atten-
ton that this branch of the service
calls for. The assessor should be an
appointive officer, as it formerly was,
and the time allotted for the work
should be doubled; also the compensa-
ton therefor. At present only three
months is allowed for making the as
sessment, April LIST to June both. The
payment is limited to $1,000, out Of
which the assessor must pay his dep
uties. which in Laramie county has
amounted to $500. This leaves the as
SCISSOR but $500 per year.. There
NO reason why the assessor should not
have six months time in which to do
the work, say from January LIST to July
list. II the vas appointed he
could save election expenses and in
addition to his salary he should have
travelling expenses. Al was the case
formerly. A good, faithful assessor
one who looks to the interests of the
county, is quite apt to make personal
enemies, and endanger his reelection,
