"JIM.CROW" STREET-CARS.

The VIRGINIA PASSENGER AND POWER
COMPANY of this city announces that il
will separate the races in the street-cars
in this city. 1t is not required to do
this by any law enacted by the legisla
ture of Virginia, but so far as we have
been able to observe such discrimination
is optional with the company. We do
not know a place where there is less
friction on the street-cars than in this
city and yet without any action by our
city council, the company proceeds to
announce its purpose and states that
the rear of the street-cars will be for
Negroes and the front part for white
people and any of its conductors can,
whenever they see fit cause a colored
person, male or female, TO get up and
make room for any other person.
We hope that our people will comply
with the rule or law, if they ride on the
street-cars. To get on there and law"
at the conductors will afford some salts
faction, but it will not pay in the long
run or the short one either. The evi.
dent inten ton of the Negro-haters is TO
foster bad feeling between the races
and to force the colored people to COM
NIT some overt sct which will be used
as argument to prove that their desire
and purpose is to override the law.
We are of the opinion that this is a
good time to stay off the street cars.
The good Lord has blessed most of us
with big feet and we see no reason why
we should not start early TO work and
proceed to use them. II the entire col

tire, which is his pocket, would tend to
cause an amelioration of our condition.
We never believed that such exhibit

place here and it follows too closely up-
on our elimination as political factor.
Ii coIored people go on the street-cars,
obey the regulations of the company,
but our advice is to walk and sweat.

ence and liberty are sweet and the day
Of the me-server is past. We hope
that there may be no trouble; but

Japanese flanking movement in con-
nection with a frontal attack. and
therefore Russian force has been
disposed along the Tumen to prevent
the entrance Of Japanese column
there. Another thanking movement Is
expected at the head of the Lao
Tung gulf near Newchwang, and
everything there is being prepared to

the Russian military authorities be-
ieye that the Japanese game at this
point has been blocked by the failure
OF the attempts to bottle up and render
1mmobile the fleet of Vice Admiral
Makaroff which, while free, will be a
great menace to the movement of
japanese transports into the Gulf of
Pe-Chili. Another effort to block
Port Arthur is consequently expected
daily.
One Of the principal reasons for
Viceroy Alexieff's visit to Port Arthur,
In addition to inspecting the ships and
defenses, is understood to have been
for the purpose of consulting Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff with a view to devils

foreign steamers. The first steamer
has arrived from Chemulpo, and from
the passengers it was learned that the
last contingent Of Japan's first army
landed In Korea March 80. The
army consists of $4,000 men, includ-
ing coolie carriers. Japan has made
ANU a frontal base, and has bridged
the Cheng Cheng and PAX rivers and
Is ready to advance by three roads to
the Yalu river. 1t will possibly be a.
month, however, before a big battle
will be fought, as the artillery moves
slowly on account of the poor horses
and the bad management of the
horses. Otherwise the organization of
the Japanese forces is almost perfect.
An immense quantity OF supplies is
going forward by coolie carriers.
1t was also learned from the pas
sengers that work had been resumed

Or. THIRKIELD'S CONCLUSION.

DE-. W. p. THIRKIELD's conclusion Of
his address ON 1.-The Industrial and
HIS er Education of the Negro" is as
pra. eworthy as any other portion OF
it.
IIe said:
= am, by the decree OF the whites of
the south, the Negro is becoming more
and more a race apart. An ignorant
people has hard, rough path upward,
even when 1t has some fellowship in tht
civil and moral, the Intellectual and re-
ligiC us life with those who have enter
ed upon the larger and higher life.
Under slavery the Negro made rapid
strides out of savagery because OF his
association IN the home and in the
Church with those who Ell Joyed SUPER
error advantages. He often heard the
best preaching. His mind was thus
trained TO systematic thought. He
learned much Scripture. He put Psalm
and prophecy into song. He we've into
the strains of immortal melodies the pa
thetic history of Israel. He got ideas of
law and order, the power of sustained
work, the English language. and IN
struction in the Christian religion ;wiCh-
out which practical education the mar
velous history of the first generation OUT
of bondage never could have been
written.
Now, since by decree he is shut out
from this fellowship in the civil and
religious life of the Anglo-Saxon, and
is largely shut up TO his own Church,
his own school, and crowded out of
political life and thought almost entirely,
how imperative it is that he has, as
leaders and helpers. those who have the
strength and wisdom and self-control
that come through the higher train
ing!
He discussed the isolation Of the Negro
fs follows:
Without such leaders, teachers,
moral and spiritual helpers, the future
of the masses of the race is hopeless

p. ople, a race that has mastered and

RUSSIA PLAYING WAITING GAME

nese Advance In Korea.
St Petersburg, April 5.-As the
time approaches for the opening Of
land operations on a large scale, the
Russian authorities are exercising
greater vigilance to prevent the news
OF their plans for the movement to
and the disposition of troops in the
theatre of war from going abroad
where 1t might be of service to the
enemy. For 10 days not a scrap of
real information, except such as is
thought contained in official dispatch
es. has been given out or has come
from the front There practically ex-
lists an embargo on news dispatches,
those coming through being colorless
and devoid of Importance.
General Kuropatkin's plan Of cam
paign is in the keeping of those who
VIII betray nothing. Only the barest
outlines are known and the rest is
pure guesswork. That the generals
plan of campaign has been worked out,
and that it involves the playing of a
waiting game until the disposition OF
the army has been completed, can be
stated with positiveness. Every day
is now considered a distinct gain for
the Russians and distinct loss for
the Japanese. For this reason it can
be confidently predicted that the Rus
SLAMS will not do more than harrass
the Japanese advance In Korea. The
gradual withdrawal OF the Russians
does not mean anything as determin-
ing the fighting capacities of the men
of the respective armies, as this is
part of the Russian tactics.

che way OF complete understanding Will
be obser we'd. So long as the two sections
are divided upon 1t, the question will
never be settled. AS soon as they unite
in one view, 1t will settle itself on the
only sound foundation-that of un-
impeachable economic truth. -
He expresses his views clearly and
says further:
g Teachers and money had come from
the North for the educ alton of the Ne.
groes, and many schools were opened
But the teachers, at first, as devoted as
many of them were, by their unwisdom
alienated the goodwill of the Whites
and frustrated much of the good whic a
they might have accomplished. They
might have been regarded with distrust
in any case, for no people look with
favor on the missionaries who come to
instruct them as to matters of which
they feel they know more than the mis-
sionaries and the South regarded jeal-
ously any teaching of the Negroes
w h C h looked towards equality.
The new missionaries went counter
to the deepest prejudice of the
Southern people. They lived with
the Negroes, consorting with, them
and appearing with them ON terms of
apparent intimacy, and were believed
to teach social equality, a doctrine
which was the surest OF all to arouse
enmity then as now. The result was
that hostility to the public school sys-
tenn sprang up for time. In some
sections violence was resorted to by the
rougher element, though it was of short
duration, and was always confined to a
small territory. Before long, however,
this form of opposition disappeared and
