He sent a series of eleven questions
to 1876 representative white men in
the old slave states. His questions
and the answers he received are as
follows:
/. Has education made the negro
a more useful citizen?
Answer Yes, 121; no, 4; unan-
swered, II.
2. Has it made him more econom-
ical and more inclined to acquire
wealth?
Answer Yes, 90; no. IA; unan-
swered, "a.
3. Does it make him a more valu-
able workman, especially where skill
and thought are required?
Answer-Yes, 1872; no, 2; unan-
swered, 2.
4, Do well-trained, skilled negro
workmen find any difficulty in secur-
ing work in your community?
Answer-No, III; yes, 4; unan-
swered, So. ,(The large number of
cases in which this question was not
answered is due to scarcity of bust
ness men.)
6. Is there any opposition to the
colored peoples buying land in your
community?
Answer-No, 1913; yes, 3; unan-
swered, 5.
7. Has education improved the
morals Of the black race?
Answer-Yes, 81; no, 20;unanswer-
ed, 49,
8. Has it made his religion less
emotional and more practical?
Answer-Yes, 101; no, 16; unan-
swered, 10.
8. Is it, as a rule, the ignorant or
the uneducated who commit crime?
Acknowledgement, lis; educated
3; unanswered, II.
10. Does crime grow less as educa,
ton increases among the colored
people?
! Answer-Yes, 1902; no, 10; unan,
swered, Is.
J II. Is the moral growth of the ne,
gro equal to his mental growth?
! Answer-Yes, So; no, 46; unan,
swered, So.
Leaving out of account the fifth
question, it appears that the average
number of answers favorable to edu,
caion is 106 and the average unfav,
orable, 10.
This should settle conclusively the
question of the evil or good effects
of education on the negro so far as
that question is honestly raised. II
would be fortunate if it could have
! as conclusive an effect upon Missis,
sippi politics and legislation.

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
The Defence of Port Arthur-Rus-
sian Strength in Nanchuria.


washington, June 2-Reduced to scientific
campaigning. the Russian scheme OF defence
OF Port Arthur Is conceived by the military
perts here to include at least one. and posi-
bly, two. series Of fortihcations before the in
vaders are permitted to reach the principal
works. Military view is divided on the facility
with which the Japanese should take the Rus
sian base: hardly any one, however, accepts
seriously the announcement that the Japanese
intend to accomplish their purpose on June 10.
as stated in some Of the dispatches. The Jap
anese are destined to encounter several obstacles
on their way to Port Arthur. such as that met
at Kin Chow. which some officers regard as
merely intended to delay the progress OF the
japanese and deplete their force. II possible.
This was achieved at least IN the latter respect,
say those officers. The land attack on Port Ar
thur is believed to be planned in conjunction
With an engagement between the Japanese ships
and the Russian forts at the same place. with.
perhaps, another attempt to bottle up the Rus
sian fleet thereby compelling the destruction
Of the vessels by the Russians.
The army officers here. who for the most part
have been OF the opinion that the Japanese
would not have as much success as they have
had now entertain the theory that Kuropatkin
must betray his plans within the next week, If
he has any which can be put into operation.
The view is gradually gaming ground Liidt the
Russians were not prepared at certain vital
points as well as they should have been. but
it is felt that they must certainly be In readt-
ness at Port Arthur. and ought to be able, under
all the usual conditions to Withstand the attack
Of five times the strength Of the garrison This
makes the incident OF investment a serious
problem for the Japanese. OF course. all this
reckoning is based on the supposition that the
Russians have a reasonably adequate and well
equipped force at Port Arthur.
It was stated to-day at the War Department
that information in possession OF the Washing
ton authorities was to the effect that the Rus
SLAMS last September had only $4,000 men in
Manchuria, exclusive of the garrlsons at Port
Arthur and vIadivostok. the strength OF which
was not known. but which was then stated by
the Russians to be $4,000 at the former and
1000 at the latter. Since then 1t is all a ques-
ton as to what extent the Russians have placed
soldiers in Manchuria. The estimates OF the ca
pacity OF the railroad vary from four to twenty
two trains day. The latter figures are given
to the department by an American railroad ex-
pert who was here this week and who was
believed to be IN a position to know. because he
represented the French interests IN the trans
Siberian road. and made a thorough examination
OF the property three years ago. The conditions
he says. must have improved IN the mean time.
While it is a single track road. the sidings are

ANOTHER MESSAGE FROM PRINCETON.

Seeing the Parker raft drifting in a dan
gerous side eddy, Mr.. Cleveland CALAMITY tries
to push it out again into the main current.
Tor second time the ex-President announces
his belief that Judge Parker will be nominated
at St Louis, and declares him the logical"
candidate Of a "safe and sane Democracy"
This second statement from Princeton differs
little in form or substance from the first one.
made about two months ago. But it throws
an interesting light on the motives which
prompted the original Endorsement Of Parker.
At first, Mr. Cleveland tells us. he believed
that either ex-Secretary Olney or Judge Gray
would make ''the strongest candidate for the
Democracy to name for the contest with Mr..
Roosevelt" He has not in fact, altogether
surrendered that belief. But the rapid spread
Of the Hearst movement in tho early spring
greatly alarmed him. He promptly gave up
any thought Of nominating Mr.. Olney or Judge
Gray, and aligned himself with those who were
urging Judge Parker's nomination. This change
Of attitude was determined by Judge Parker's
more apparent availability. To the ex-Presi-
dent it seemed, two months or more ago, that
Democrats who desired Ito purge the party OF
that irrationalism with which It has been af-
"hicted in the last two Presidential campaigns"
must unite at once Ito stihe the Hearst move
ment." It was no time for picking and choos-
ing candidates in their own ranks. Judge Par
ker had then gained decided leaQ over
every other candidate acceptable to conserva-
tive Democrats SO Mr.. Cleveland without
hesitation proclaimed him the illogical" choice
Of the conservative element.
The motive OF Mr. Cleveland's second eulogy
on Judge Parker is, however, not entirely OBJ
vious Apparently he wants to give the Par
kef canvass a fresh impetus He says that
there is at present "a lul in the Parker move
ment." But win the message ne sends from
Princeton at this juncture prove the surest
means of Quickening that movement? The ex-
President says in his interview that he does
not even now yield his original judgment"
which was that either Mr. Olney or Judge Gray
would make better candidate than Judge Par
ller Nor does he seem to hold that Judge
Parker's success at ST. Louis is in itself either
inevitable or indispensable to Democratic sal
walton. Whether he shall be nominated or
not" says the Sage Of Princeton, 'his candi
"dacy has been a blessing to the party for
'the energetic exploitation Of his name during
"the last year has made certain Democrncv's
return to fundamental principles" The mis-
sion Of Judge Parker's candidacy was to "stihe"
the Hearst boom. That mission having been
accomplished those who read between the lines
Of Mr.. Cleyeland's letter may begin to wonder
10 what extent the cause of 'safe and sane
Democracy" Is still bound up with Judge Par
ker's personal and political fortunes
1t IS clear that the radical Hearst-Bryan ele
ment will be in a minority in the Democratic
National Convention. The conservative and
neutral forces in that body VIII name the Presi-

FIRE BOATS.

New.York has been exceedingly kind and lib
eral to New-Jersey in lending aid in the put
ting out OF extensive fires on the other side Of
the Hudson River. Undoubtedly this generous
succor will be granted cheerfully whenever It Is
needed. Nevertheless, 1t may be suggested mod
estly that Jersey City and Hoboken can well at
ford to buy more engines, to enlarge their fire
departments, and TO provide themselves with Il
plentiful equipment Of steam tugs for fighting
flames, and that they ought not to get into the
habit of invariably calling upon Manhattan for
help whenever property on the west shore of
the Hudson is in danger.
Our Fire Department is always ready and
eager to do all it can for the benefit Of New1Jer-
sey. Suppose, however, there were big con-
fagrations on both sides of the Hudson at the
same time-and that might happen any dav or
night--how might Jersey City and Hoboken fare
then?

Dental candidate. But, with the bogie Of an
other radical nomination laid, the conservatives
and moderntes may feel free TO reopen the ques-
ton of availability, and to make a choice based
on judgments and preferences set aside when
the Hearst boom seemed most threatening
Mr. Olney. Judge Gray, Mr.. German, ex-Gov-
ernor Pattison or Prosecuting Attorney Folk
may be preferred to the one candidate at pres
ent most distasteful to the defeated radical
faction. Some phrases in Mr. Cleyeland's in
terview leave the impression that he feels Judge
Parker may be in need of residuary legatee
That is an emergency for which he is possibly
himself prepared. At any rate, his interview
may warn other conservative candidates to stand
duly watchful

4 NECESSARY pnHrp

Certain builders and contractors appear TO he
worried over the new buildings law amendment
passed by the aldermen at the instance Of The
Tribune and the Republican County Commit
tee. This law gives to the borough sllperln-
tendents Of buildings authority to stop unsafe
work on structures In process Of erection. 1t
would have averted the Darlington disaster.
Its all right" say these builders. "but SUD.
pose an INSCRIPTIONS man is superintendent Of
buildings. He might use the power 70 op-
press builders and contractors" That is IN
doubleday true, but It is one OF the necessary
risks of our form of government. All discre-
tonary power is subject to abuse by corrlrpr
and incompetent officials However. we cannot
deny necessary authority to public officers
simply because some Of them would use it
wrongly. Under this principle all the processes
of government would have to be suspended.
All persons in a position TO know hold that
the power granted by the new amendment is
necessary to the safeguarding Of building work
ers. 1t must. Of course, be exercised with dis
erection and an eye single TO the public good
If any superintendent abuses it. the aggrieved
persons have a remedy with the courts and
with his superiors.
