across the North Atlantic and New
England states. A return to normal
conditions will be the history of next
summer according to the opinion of
Director Jennings. The rains are an
accompaniment of the cool weather
rather than the reverse. So that the
explanation of an absence of heat is
not to be found there as the opinion is
frequently given.

There was nothing humorous about

last evening. A heart-sick, Sad-faced

reeled of a string of presentations

Lloyd Leslie and Charles Taylor,
two boys between ten and dozen
years of age, came to Topeka, and just
to pass the time away, stole a pocket
book from Z. A. Greenway. engineer of
the Page mills in North Topeka There
was but a small amount of money, 20
cents, in the purse, and the boys were
caught with the goods on them They
spent Tuesday night in Jail, and Mrs.
Eta Leslie, the mother of one of the
boys, came up from Granville and in
terviewed her son through the bars.
They had a hearing at the afternoon
session of court, and were fined So and
costs eacn. The boys failed to conform
to the truth in their stories to the court,
and two of the Jail trustees, who claim
the theft, were called as witnesses and
given witness fees. After the case was
disposed of the sorrowful mother took
her young hopeful and his companion
back to Granville.

| North is required TO do a great dea
more work than is required here flo
our servants. Another reason is dis
satisfaction on account of being de
prived of the ballot and the unneces
sary abuse of the race as a whole OF
the part of many of our white peo
pie who do not feel in their heart
many of the rough things they sa.
and write. This dissatisfaction cal
be overcome in time by just and kline
treatment that has always character
lied the great majority of our South
ern people as manifested by our tax
ing ourselves in our poverty immedi
ately after the war, and giving the
negro a fair chance to obtain an edu
cation. 1t would mark a sad decad
ence in Christian philanthropy OF
our part, if in this day of our pros
perity, blessed as we have been by 6
kind and benefcent Providence in
so many ways if we refuse to the
negro the benefits he now receives
from our public schools. The negro
is not here of his own volition; he
is tractable, and is the best labor that
we "a get. His purse during the
Civil War should never be forgot
ten by our people. He is here to
stay. Christianity forbids his annihi-
lation. He has a destiny to fulfill
perhaps to Christianize Africa. I'm
fit for self-government, much less is
he fit for the government of white
men. But let us not cultivate race
prejudice, but, as we have in the past,
show ourselves the Negroes best
friend. The right of franchise is de-
MED him on account OF his ignor-
and natural unfitness for which
he is not responsible. Let us hold
out to him the hope that when he
acquires a certain amount of proper
ty on which he will pay taxes, that
the franchise will not be denied him,
and in reference to the educational
qualifications for a voter, make them
to both races alike. He
should not be allowed to hold Office
over white men. The Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States conferred the right to
vote and not to hold office. The
amendment, when first prepared, con-
ferred the right to vote and hold of
fee. The clause forbidding the voter
to be debarred from holding Office on
account of color or previous condi-
ton of servitude was stricken out,
and then the Fifteenth Amendment
was adopted by Congress and sub
mltted to the States for ratification.
This exclusion OF unfit persons from
holding office was common in Eng
land for centuries. 1t takes time for
race development.

to lease is found in the 1th section
of the charter, which is as follows
Section 10. That the said company
may, when they see fit, farm out
their right of transportation over
said railroad subject to the rules
above mentioned In the opinion
of the court it is held, that the pow
er to farm out the right of trans
portation over a road is the power to
lease the road itself, and under this
limited and specific grant, that the
company can, in the words of the
deed of lease, demise, let, hire and
its franchises, rights of ~transporta-
ton, works and property, including
its superstructure, road-bed and
right-of-way, depot houses, shops,
buildings, fixtures, engine, cars, and
all franchises belong thereto To
me this appears to be an immense
structure erected upon a slender
foundation, and needs a single de-
cision or authority to maintain it.
A right of transportation over a
road is one thing, and the road itself
with its engines, shops and property
is certainly another, and these can
no more be COMPOUNDED than rent can
be with the land out of which it is
sues. One is the right of passage
over the corpus, the other is the cor
pus itself"
1t would not now be wise, and per-
haps it would be unjust to the South
ern Railway Company, to attempt to
annul their lease of the N. @. R.. r.
but it should be made unlawful, if it
is not so now by common or statute
law, for franchises to be granted by
State, county, or municipal boards
for a period of time beyond their
tenure of office without the sanction
by ballot of the taxpayers inter
ested.

THE B QUESTION.

You are greatly interested in the
labor question. 1t is patent to all
that labor is becoming more inefici-
ent and higher priced. Skilled ar
tisans are becoming scarce. Unless
there is a decided change in the
character and efficiency of skilled
mechanical labor in the rural dis
tricts this department of labor will
be forced into the hands of white
contractors by the Job and carpentry
by the day will almost cease. As to
agricultural labor, the negro is to a
certain extent indispensable. Owing
to the efhux from the country to the
towns of our own State, and to the
cities of the North, the quantity of
labor has been diminished. This de-
fciency must be supplied by improved
machinery, and for the use of this
machinery your own sons must be
trained and induced to stay on the
farm. The inefficiency of a large
part of our labor results from vari-
Gus causes. One cause is the idleness
of worthless boys and men in our
towns and around the railroad
depots. An efficient vagrant law
ought to be passed and enforced
Another reason is the impression
prevalent among the negroe that
they are not well paid, failing to real
lie that the furnishing of dwelling
fuel, and garden-patch make I'D q

British Columbia Notes.

News reaches Nelson, B. G. of two
important strikes on the Happy Four
and the Lardo King claims, near Pop
lar. Richard Roberts, owner of the
Happy Four has been developing his
property all winter. On Saturday, at
the bottom of his 60 foot shaft. he
struck a three foot shoot of ore, in
which the gold was in nuggets. 1t
was SO rich that Roberts and those
working with him could hardly be-
lieve their eyes. The ledge is IL feet
wide. The other strike was in the
Lardo King, adjoining the Happy Four
on the west. In the 20 foot tunnel a
two and a half foot shoot of ore was
encountered that fairly glistened with
free gold.

CRUM TURNED DOWN.

Washington, April 28.-The nomina
ton of William D. Crum to become
collector of the port of Charleson was
considered in executive session of the
senate, lasting four or five hours. A
failure to confirm the appointment re-
suited. At the consclusion of argu-
ments by Senators Gallinger, Spooner,
Hale, and Aldrich for confirmation and
Senators Daniel German and Clay
against confirmation, Senator Cockrell
suggested the subject be referred to the
legislative session.
Senator Daniel declared that the ap-
pointment of negros to high political
offices, such as that to which Crum has
been named, sets the race to dreaming
of rights inconsistent with the position
of negroes in society, and inficts more
harm than good on both races He
said such appointments tend to make
the negro arrogant and offensive in
bearing and infiame the race prejudices
in the south and in all places where
the negro resides in great numbers.
At this point Senator Cockell said
it was apparent the question is diff
cult one.
