Mr.. Carnegie's Gift to Tuskegee.

Mr.. Carnegie's gift to Tuskegee Institute
is notable on two accounts. The sum is
large. 1t is not large for the giver, because
his name in the ma tier of beneficence stands
for big things-for the biggest things. He
does nothing by halves. He gives freely to
whatever cause appeals to his sympathy
and his judgment. But this sum Is large
for the purposes in view, and 1t is certain
to do a great amount of good. And it
comes OPPORTUNITY. 1t will enable Prof.
Washington to carry out some important
plans. and. it is hardly necessary to say,
his plans, as rule, are all worthy of sup
port. He has. so far. builded wisely, and
by SO doing has recommended himself to
the respect and assistance of all whose
Views of life are broad and serious.
But more notable than the size of Mr.
Carnegie's contribution is the letter which
accompanies it. His tribute to Prof Wash
ington is the highest that has yet been
paid by man of the white race. 1t is cor
dial to the point. let US say. of audacity
Many white men admire Prof. Washington
give him their hand in public. receive him
into their offices for consultation, and in
many ways testify to a feeling that they
are dealing with a man of unusual gifts
and of unusual deserts. They speak of
him, too, in terms of very high apprecfa-
ton. But Mr.. Carnegie puts all Of this into
language striking for it's warmth and cour-
age and sincerity, and assigns to the man
he praises a place among the greatest of
men.
Does Mr. Carnegie in this appraisement
speak the minds of others Theodore
Roosevelt agrees with him. Grover Cleve-
land is in his company. Bishop Potter has
already said almost as much. At Yale at
Harvard. at Columbia. and at other great
seats of learning and instruction Prof
Washington is regarded with marked favor
Prince Henry of Prussia when in New
York asked for copy of the book in which
this remarkable man had related the story
of his origin and endeavors That book has
been translated into several foreign lam
guages. and has been read and compli-
mented by many savants.
But what will Senator Tillman and the
men who hold with him say? Shall We not
hear that Mr. Carnegie has inflicted by his
praise an injury not only on Prof Wash
ington but on the whole negro race? Shall
we not be told that it is this sort of thing
which spoils the niger for everyday
uses and makes him ambitious and danger
Gus to society? 1t is the Tfllman idea that
the negro should find no Moses to lead him
out of the bondage of ignorance, but should
have stricter taskmasters there and be
kept in that bondage. -.--'se

Russia's Extraordinary Demands.

Russia's new demands on China relative
to Manchuria amount to declaration of
sovereignty. She declines to fulfill her
previous promise to evacuate the province
until certain new conditions are granted to
her. These conditions. If granted, will give
Russia virtual dominion over the entire
territory as against not only all other pow
ers, but China herself. 1t is impossible to
foresee any liberty of administration for
China in Manchuria under the terms of this
new proposition. The customs revenues at
Nieu Chwang, the only port which Russia
will permit to be opened. are to be paid
into the Russo-Chinese bank and not into
the Chinese customs bank; this gives Rus
sia control of the provincial income. No
portion of Manchuria is to be alienated to
any other power; this gives Russia COM
mand of the territorial future of Man
churia. None but Russians are to be EN-
ployed in an administrative capacity IN
Manchuria, military or civil; this gives
Russia absolute control Of the provincial
government. Russia is to have the right
to string her own telegraph wires on all
Chinese lines: this gives her equality of
means of communication with China.
These are the important features of the
new demands save the first item, that no
new treaty ports be opened and no new
oonsuls admitted. This slaps directly at
the United States. which had proposed the
opening of treaty ports at Mukden and
Talu-Shan. OF course, the United States
will be inclined to take hand in the af-
fair. as it has more than once in the past,
and remind both China and Russia that
certain obligations exist which cannot be
waved aside by the Russian claim that this
t- to H. 49,
was largely through the intervention of
the United States that Russia some time
ago pledged herself to withdraw from Man.
churia. There was no mention then of
conditions short of the protested desire of
Russia to establish certain degree of
authority along the line of the railroad
leading to Port Arthur, where the st. Pc
tersburg government has recently made a
city to order called Dalny There was no
reason to believe that Russia would abso-
lutely leave Manchuria without vestiges Of
Russian strength and perhaps the gather
Ing points for strong Russian forces for
use in emergencies. But there was no hint
Of such sweeping demands as those now
presented to China. and 1t is inconceivabIe
that the other powers will stand idly by
and witness the coercing of China and the
deliberate violation by Russia of all her
pledges.

to give her absolute dominion not only over
Manchuria, but over China as we'll If
Russia can bulldoze China in the matter
