The Jacksonville Metropolis with
a Sworn Circulation of 1898 and an
exclusive telegraph service received
by Freight from all the Great News
Centers of the Globe, states that It's
failure to Publish the name of Hon.
w H. Ellis, candidate for attorney
general, in the list of democratic
nominees was due to an Error eth
er in Copy or Composing Room. .
This explanation is perfectly salts
factory to the Palatka News and No
Doubt will be to the democrats of
the state. We have all along Felt
that the omission of Mr.. Ellis name
was due to Error, for the Metropolis
is a Loyal democratic paper and one
that democrats have Never had Diff
Guilty in Locating--after the Course
had been Laid Out and the ApprOpri-
alton Exhausted.

went well.
But somehow the young husband
did not come out as well as his
friends thought he would, and
whether he acquired the habit or
whether the desire in him was SIM
ply latent, matters not, for he began
to be fond of late hours and the wine

swift as the circuit of a lOOp-the-loop,

wreck of the good looking young
chap who had won the heart of a

FALSE EDUCATION OF THE
NEGRO.

At the bottom of all this hubbub
called the race problem is the steadi-
ly increasing Discrimination of color
ed people to Ito mental labor. 1T is
labor problem at bottom.
No sane white man or white wo-
man has at heart any real fear that
social equality of the races will ever
come about. The real thing which
is objected to, and which is at hand,
is industrial equality.
The common idea is that this
equality was conferred by the four
teenth amendment. 1T is not true.
Industrial equality cannot be cob
ferred by law. That can only give
equality of opportunity. The freed
slaves, spritIess and deusely igno-
rant, were not transformed into
skilled Iaborers by legislation. Edu-
cation was required and IA cultiVa-
tion of an understanding of the pur-
poses and the dignity of labor
The education has been generously
lavished upon the negroes, at the eX
pense of the whites-yes. doubly at
their expense, for the education has
turned mental servants into indus
trial equals and competitors.
No fact is more notable than that
the first tendency of the hall-educat-
ed negro is to seek the seemingly
easy positions. Pay is a secondary
and the railroad sections and goes to
the town to become a hotel porter or
a barber
With little education he instant
ly despises hard labor, and longs to
be in some brass button brigade He
has not been taught properly to APP
preciate the purpose and dignity of
labor. The hereditary tendency to IA
life of ease and of display is still in
him.
The race problem. reduced to
plain English, is the servant prob
lem. In freeing and educating the
negroes we have made them our in
dustrial equals and deprived our
selves of distinctive race that had
performed our mental work.
This situation came home in its
full force when a little while ago, in
one Of our southern cities, a crowd Of
striking union negroes fired upon
squad of white men who had gone to
take their places. In leaping up to
industrial equality the negro can ape
the white man in more ways than
one
The fault clearly lies in the kind of
education given to the negro. He is
given TOO much education of "A wrong
kind. His umchastened imagination
is stimulated, while no sterling
qualities of character are drilled i'll
to him. He is given glimpses of the
higher life and Immediately seeks to
gain it at il single bound; not being
sufficiently taught that it is to be
permanently attained only by slow,
patient toll of bands and mind and
heart.
1t requires immolation through |
many generations of servile toll and
humble living to turn savage into
man.
The educators who seek to turn the
negro into gentleman by IA course !
in college need to be educated them
selves in some fundamental princi-
pies.
No doubt they mean well and i'm
aginc they are doing the negro a |
great service in setting him to chas-
ing the butterflies of the industrial |
world. But they would do him an
UNNECESSARILY better service were
they to teach him the dignity and
the Christening power of the COM
mon labor that his half-made nature
can comprehend.

GENERAL KUR0KL

The rumor that General Kuroh Ia
dead is very persistent although It has
been denied from japanese sources.
The little brown men are stingy with
news items, particularly regarding their
losses, but 1t has generally been under
stood that when they issue positive
statement, this can be relied on No
conceivable object could be gained by
denying his death, II he really has fall
len.
According to the stories published
KuroM is partly Of Polish parentage In
the year 1896, It IS said, after the Polish
Instruction, Polish noblemun, ku-
rowskl, fed from Russia IN company
with his younger brother The latter
came TO the southern part Of Europe,
where he changed his name and became
the owner OF q large estate, The other
brother went to Japan whore he mar
rled and became the father Of General
kurokl.
This general is certainly one OF Jap
ans most successful leaders, lie has
executed a number Of flank movements,
by which battles have been decided IN
favor Of the Mikado's army His death
would be a great loss to the country
but not irreparable, Japan has some
generals who can an his place.

ALL FoR rHE CHILDREN,

II II very pleasant TO reflect upon the
changes for the better that have taxi
en- place during the last few years In
matters pertaining 20 the education OF
the children. FREQ schools, kinder
gortens manual training free school
books are so many steps IN the march
OF progress. The latest suggestion Is
to provide suitable food for the chill
dren.
According to an eastern contempor-
airy. since 1874 there has been a fund
maintained In Paris With which TO
purchase necessities for poor school
children, and In 1852 law was pas
sed extending the plan to all COM
munes. II Is claimed that In one year
the authorities Of Paris issued lll0,S27
food portions, consisting Of nourshing
soup meat and vegetables. Where the
children could afford to pay for the
food they were required to do so, but IN
the majority Of cases there was no pay
ment. The average cost Of a meal to
the city Is only three cents, The fun
damentm principle Of the management
is to avoid loss OF dignity through free
feeding Tickets are Issued to those
who pay and those who DO not alike,
and only the person who gives the
tickets knows who have paid and who
have not.
At a recent gathering In 81. Louis,
an educator expressed the opinion that
thousands Of little ones go TO school In
this country every day literally FAM
lshed This may In some cases be due
to the lack Of proper food in the home,
and in others, to dissemination ON the
part Of guardians 10 take the time
necessary 10 prepare It properly In
either case the child Is the sufferer II
Is the recognition Of the necessity Of
proper care In childhood that has
prompted the French authorities TO
look after the nourishment Of the
school children. This cannot but have
excellent results, The valuable off,
spring of animals Is taken care Of, be-
cause It is well known that neglect
means loss. What about the children?
There should really be no neglected

munties

and one Of the most stupendous in
which generous government was

the work IN the hands Of impartial
science and not turn It over to politics.
