TURNING TIE TABLES ON US.

In defending the prevalent Southern atutuoe
toward the negro's political status. The Hous-
ton Chronicle Herald" makes this retort upon
the North which deserves serious consldera-
ton. and may prove particularly timely IN
New-York at this moment;
II is proper. however, to say that II the
South as argued. won't let the negro vote. 1t
lets him work; while the North lets the negro
vote but won't let him work. This is true
The trade unions Of the North prevent the
Northern negroes from working and earning a
living This is the beam in our North
ern brothers eye which he overlooks in staring
across Mason end Dixon's line for notes in
Southern eyes as to this race question.
What is to be the answer? Is this Texas
charge true as to New-Yorkf
What is to be the answer to a larger ques-
ton: Is there any class Of men at the North
willing TO work, needing to work to support
their families. with employers eager to set them
at work, yet forbidden to work and only able
to do it at the risk of their lives? If so. what
is the real nature of our so-called free institu-
lions?

4 UNION HOME FOR ENGINEERS.

The world has grown accustomed 10 MI
Carnegies munificence that the lates. exhlbitlon
of it. his offer of q home to the engineering So
cjeties having headquarters in the meuopohs
produces less of an impression on the pupilc
mind than it deserves. 1t is in line Win Ills
foundation of technical schools and engineering
laboratories. Whatever Mr.. Carnegie may once
have thought about the value of literary courses
in colleges he certainly has great faith In the
kind of training which is essential to materlal
industry. Other scientific organizations, when
for years have been craving just such Dullu
ing, may wonder at the preference now SHOWN
They should not forget, however, that Mr.. Car
negie is an intensely practical man, ana mas
high appreciation Of those lines of research anu
education which lead to substantial and I'M
mediate results Besides, it is not saIe 10 as
sumo that this benefaction is his last
Though the proposition comes as a surprise
to most of the men whom it is designed TO
benefit, there can be little doubt about Its ultl-
mate acceptance To the gift of S1,0OO.Oo0 for
q building only one condition is attached. The
site must be provided by the five societies TO
which the offer is primarily addressed, and
something like 100000 or S500,0O0 must be
raised for that purpose To those organizations
which either have no home already or when
have outgrown their present accommodations
the project will possess more powerful attrac-
tons than it does for the American Society OF
Civil Engineers, which has within few years
acquired new and commodious quarters. If any
of these bodies should eventually decide to stay
out of the combination the financial burden
would fall little more heavily on those when
take advantage of it The outlook is favorable
however, TO a universal acceptance 1t is not
unlikely that in time the advantages Of the
change will seem TO overbalance the dlsadvan-
tages. in the minds of the more conservative
members. Affiliation and cooperation are po-
tent factors in professional life. To assume
that engineers are an exception to the rule until
they pronounce that opinion themselves would
be exceedingly injudicious.

WONDERFUL MAN.

A very remarkable fellow was he,
Endowed with the widest of knowledge.
In spite of the fact that to go on the spree
Was his chief occupation at college.
He painted and played with most exquisite skill;
He sung like star operatic; -
HIS friends when they spoke Of his fanciful quill
For he wrote. too-grew fairly ecstatic.
He lived in a splendid and elegant style,
Was more than bit of dandy, .
Yet when he considered the trouble worth while,
Could put up his dukes pretty handy.
He rode like centaur, was quite a dead shot.
At fencing no man could come near him;
Meath skin Of soft velvet steel muscles he'd got
Which made all his enemies fear him.
With languid profusion he scattered his gold
He never used silver or copper
The ladies described him as wicked ana bold.
In all ways this chap was a topper.
Beside him the heroes of modern romance
Would seem in the dus- bin to groYel-
He's dead now, but you may have met him by
chance
He lived in the old-fashioned novel.

Rig Increase

The registry report for the Guthrie

is out. Postmaster Mccoy regards it
as a very creditable one and says it
shows a considerable increase In bust
ness over preceding years.
The report shows total of SS,444
pieces Of registered mail handled dur
ing the twelve months. This matter
handled is divided as follows: Let
ters sent out. 6.S75; parcels sent ont,

Strange as It may seem the report
compares favorably with the annual
