voted teachers who have made the

MR.. CRoMER'S ADDRESS.
Friday night President Cromer OF
Newberry delivered the annual a1-
dress 10 great audience, He spoke of
the power Of education, comparing it
to the unlocking of the frozen waters
of the snow-clad mountains when the
rays Of the summer sun are turned up
on them, so that they fertilize the
folds and turn the wheels of industry.
The space Of THE ADVERTISER is too
limited to attempt report OF his able
and eloquent address, one of the best
ever heard here.
Superintendent Jones, after the adj
dress delivered diplomas to the follow
ign eight, who had completed the
coursei Misses Ina Little, Grace Sim
mons, Edna and Annie Sitgraves, Daisy
Philips, Lint Jones, Vaughn Gritton
and Mr.. Clarence Bramlett.
Sunday morning In the First Presby-
terian Church President Pell of Con-
verse delivered the annual SER
mon. His topic was Popular Educa-
tion in Gods Plan of Unity. 1t was a
sermon remarkable for it's clear, force,
full reasoning and for the oomprehen-
siye breadth and charity OF its view. A
feature of this service was the exquis-
ite singing OF. a solo by Mrs. Belle
Wright Jones.
A striking feature of the commence.
ment was the exhibition Friday Of the
drawing, writing ard manual training
work OF the pupils. The many visitors
were astonished at its excellence

DR.. J. L. M. Curry,

The country. and particularly the south,

Curry. He had both scholarship and grasp
Of practical affairs, and was useful and
successful in his public labors. He was one
of those admirable men who after their
deplorable effort to disrupt the Union had
failed addressed themselves in a spirit of
the highest and best patriotism to building
up the waste places and making the corn-
try stronger than ever. AS author as dip
lomat. as college lecturer he performed
notable services. but his labors In the cause
of education among the negroes was his
best claim to consideration, and his achieve
ments in that field will probably longest be
remembered. He had the perfect confidence
both of those who supplied the means and
those for whose benefit the money was in
tended. and he justified to the fullest the
confidence of both sides. g..

The Presidents Offices.

The debate yesterday in the House on the
White House appropriations showed clearly
that members now realize the mistake OF
having regarded the structure added on the
west side Of the mansion as in any sense
permanent housing for the executive Of
fices. When the matter of the enlargement
of the White House was preached a year
ago The Star strongly urged that nothing
be done which would in any manner detract
from or change the exterior aspect of the
beautiful building. 1t advocated the imned.-
ate appropriation OF a sufficient sum to build
an executive office outside of the limits CT
the White House park. on one Of the
squares hanking jackson Park. When 1t
became apparent that this or its counter
project 70 house the executive offices and
the Departments OF States and Justice in
single great structure. could n3t be
pushed through at that session. The Star
urged that whatever might be done i'm

A Service to the Negro.

Mr.. De Almond of Missouri and Mr.. Rich
ardson of Tennessee performed a public
service on Tuesday in calling attention in
the open House to the scheme for pension
ing ex-slaves. and Mr.. Cannon. who replied
to them, gave an opinion on the subject
which should be distributed far and wide
among the negroes Of the south. The gen.
tleman from Illinois Is an experienced legis-
lator. whose judgment about =, matters
brought before Congress is of value at all
times: and at this time 1t is of especial
value. He is to preside over the delibera-
tons of the next House, and as Speaker
will exercise great influence in shaping the
legislation of that body So that when Mr.
Cannon. though speaking only as a member
of the present House. expresses himself to
the effect that no such measure as the one
proposing pensions for ex-slaves will meet
the approval of Congress. now or later, his
words are entitled to the greatest weight in
every section of the country.
The difficulty will be in getting before the
people TO whom 1t is most important this
notable information. Negroes of education,
and even those without education, who live
in towns and cities and hear public uues-
tions discussed are not very likely to be
misled by this pension scheme. 1t is not
new. and most of them have heard it can
vassed pretty thoroughly. They are well
advised of how little there is in It, Their
dollars are not likely to be coaxed out of
their pockets either by Missionaries or by
co1dblooded sharpers.
1t is the humble and ignorant negro liv-
ing, to use an expression from his environ
ment. far from the big road who is like
Hest to be imposed upon in this matter. He
has but the cloudiest notions about even
nearby things. About things at this dis
lance. and especially about the business of
Congress, he knows nothing. He has a few
dollars, earned in the profuse sweat of his
face, laid by. He would be glad enough, of
course, to receive assistance from the gov
eminent; and convince him that 1t is on the
way, and needs to be accelerated in it's
passage by small contribution from him
to an intermediary, and the money is almost
certain to be forthcoming. He Is the one
who should be told at as early day as
possible that no money from the govern
ment awaits him. may be- expected from
the activity Of any Of the people who are
Offering to serve him.
Between the politicians who want to drive
him out of the country and the sharpers
and sentimentalists who are trying to sad
die him on the government as a pensioner
the ex-slave must be filled with conflicting
emotions

Mr.. Lincoln and the Negro.

The national hero, like the actor. plays
many parts. Mr.. Jefferson has for years
figured as both democrat and republican.
Mr. Bryan claimed him with swelling con-
fidence in 1896 and in 1900. while the repub-
leans were equally certain that the shade
of the great Virginian was marching with
them The color Of General Jacksons coat
is equally a puzzle. 1t depends on who OPP
crates the lime light. Mr.. Lincoln is as
eloquently praised by one party as the
other today. Orators vie with each other
in paying tribute to the extraordinary force
and beauty of his unique personality. MIR.
Mckinley is but sixteen months dead, and
yet his memory has already been drafted
for service against his successor. who had
his full confidence and is carrying out his
policies. "Injunctions don't 60 In matters
of this kind. This Is indeed a free country
when it comes to stump interpretations of
historical characters.
Yesterday being an anniversary of Mr..
Lincoln's birth, many tongues and pens
were busy with his name and fame Some
very fine and true things were said-thinSs
that will command universal agreement
On the other hand there were one or two
ra Their startling propositions laid down.
For an instance it was as good as asserted
the Acknowledgement of the negroes in sew
eral of the southern states is justified in
the light of one of Mr.. Lincoln's deliver
ances in his joint debate with Judge Doug
lass. wherein he remarked upon the dit
ference between the white man and the
black man and declared for the continued
supremacy of the former. According to
this we are told that Mr.. Lincoln would
not have favored putting the ballots into
the black mans hands in the first place,
and that therefore the taking 1t away has
not offended his teachings.
But it will not do to let the question rest
there What would Mr.. Lincolns policy
have been toward the black man as free
man had he lived until the time when
events would have required an expression
from him on that point? His debate with
Judge Douglass was in 1853, before seces-
sion had made emancipation necessary to
the salvation of the Union. He freed the
black man, and thus radically changed his
condition. Would he have taken no further
interest in him? Would he have favored
no plan for his education and advancement?
Would he have denied to him the advan-
tages of citizenship after the black man
had qualified himself for that boon? In
other words would the man who issued the
emancipation proclamation have left the
beneficiary of it without further helping
hand of any kind, and without hope of re-
ward for any advancement he might make?
That view of the case all but strips Mr.
Lincoln of his claim to Immortality.

A No-Hazing Pledge

The third class Of the Naval Academy
having subscribed to an agreement to alb
stain from hazing in every form. including
running" fourth-class men. 1t remains for
the academy officers now to insist upon a
strict compliance with its terms. The coun-
try has had enough Of the nonsense which
occasionally shows itself in one ugly form
and another at the governments schools.
There has been plenty Of tolerance and pa
tience in the past. but the fracture of q
boys jaw in a fist fight organized to put him
to the test Of manHness proved the limit
Now for a square deal all round, giving the
cadets fair chance to prove their higher
qualities than pugnacity by an honorable
observance Of their pledge. -sa'~s 80 -.s
