THE NEW WEST POINT.

When the government appropriated $500 600
for the improvement Of the Military Academy
at West Point a proyiso was made that none
Of the money should be expended until plans
had been adopted and approved by the Secre-
tary Of War This has been done and the Mill
tary Academy will now receive the attention to
which its one hundred years service entities It
Since the first class was admitted many build
ngs have been added to the group which forms
the academy on the West Point reservation
Lofty recitation halls, spacious library, mess
hail and gymnasium would look new and pos
sibly grand TO the cadet of fifty or seventy-five
years ago But there are parts of the academy
which the Old boys would recognize instantly
The barracks are, in many respects just as
they were when Scott, Hallock Grant Sher-
man. Sheridan and all the other great West
Pointers came as plebes TO the picturesque
place. Old and inadequate as they are these
modest quarters have been an inspiration TO
the young men who inhabited them. They
loved them because they were old.
When the improvements have all been made,
when new buildings have been erected and old
buildings extended and improved. the old bar
racks, improved as to the interior, will still re-
main, and on that account and because the
West Point improvements will not wipe out
the old school. with its pictures dear TO every
American soldier the army and the nation are
to be graduated.

NEGRO CITIZENSHIP.

II IS well known that the negro is practically
disfranchised in Ala ALBANIA, but II is something
new to discover that he has been completely de-
prived Of rights as a citizen and relegated to
the status Of an alien living in the State on
sufferance Yet that is the situation, If we may
trust the frank declaration Of The Montgom-
cry Advertiser in the course Of an article con-
demning peonage, but complaining Of the pub
Ication Of the reports about the enslavement
of negroes by unscrupulous whites through mis-
use of the judicial machinery. It says:
The negro in Alabama particularly is the
ward Of the State. He has citizenship; he is
legally sort Of child whose rights are guaran-
teed by the State and who deserves the kind
protection Of every true white man.
So a negro is not citizen in Alabama! But
IT happens that the Constitution of the United
! States has something to say about who are citi-
zens Of Alabama. II declares:
All persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject TO the Jurisdiction thereof,
are citizens Of the United States and Of the State
! wherein they reside
Citizenship and the right to vote are different
things. When the warfare on the negro is car
ried TO the point Of denying that he has citizen
ship. after having deprived him of his vote Ger
tainly the extremity has been reached, and it
is in order for Southern whites to call upon
their fellows to give him kind protection" as
an act of charity This doctrine is so extreme
that We're II avowed in a less careful and
thoughtful journal than The Montgomery Ad-
vertiser' should think it mere loose talk, but
that paper is not accustomed TO use words in
ignorance Of their meaning, after the fashion Of
the black politicians Of reconstruction days.
When it says that the negro has citizenship
in Alabama we are obliged TO accept the state
ment as serious. and as implying that he stands
before the law not merely voteless but without
any personal and civil rights as q member of
the State. outcast and an alien IN the
land Of his birth. The child is citizen: the
idiot is citizen. Yet is not Booker Wash
ington q citizen in Alabama?

NURSERY MAIDS IN TIE PARK.

When the arrest Of two young men was se-
cured last week on charge Of insulting and
robbing a nursery maid in Central Park, her
mistress. who called IN the police and assisted
in prosecuting the case in court next day, prob
ably had little idea Of the publicity which the
incident would acquire. She doubtless regarded
ii largely as q personal matter, affecting only
her own family and servants Now that the
press has reported somewhat fully the judicial
hearing and decision which followed, # Will be
perceived that a good many other people also
are more or less interested
Magistrate Crane, before whom the case was
tried, liberated the prisoners. not because of
any expressed doubt as 10 the commission of
the alleged offence, but because he was not fully
satisfied who committed it. Thus is raised the
question, How much evidence will II ever be
feasible TO secure in order TO convict man in a
similar c. sc? In the present instance the mis-
tress herself was not a witness of what oc-
CURED Her child, who saw the first part of
the anair, fed 10 give the alarm. For lacA of
adequate opportunity to observe, as well as her
tender years, II might have been expected that
the little girl would have difficulty in identify
ing the real offenders if she saw them again
Her uncertainty, therefore. should have had no
significance one way or the other According IN
the press reports. though, the nursery maid her
self was perfectly convinced that the prisoners
were the men who sat down beside her in the
park 1t is safe TO say that nfnefv-nfne times

The young woman who jumped from stalled
elevated train on Saturday and came within an
inch of the third rail was congratulated her
good fortune. Her escape from sudden death
was not SO remarkable that of the man who,
walking in a crowded thoroughfare few days
before, escaped by the same narrow margin a
heavy piece Of metal pipe which careless me-
chanic allowed to fall from twelfth story
window Alighting from elevated train be-
tween stations is always connected with some
risk but pedestrians do not look for dangers
such as the one in which the pipe figured con-
spicuously.
