Of resigning his leadership Of the mi

was secured to the call when the Dem

that he could not say whether the

not deny his purpose of resigning

Partly as a result of the failure of
the Citizens National Bank of Ober-

Chadwick, much serious concern is be-

by national banks. 1t is recognized
that it is impossible to provide a bank
official with honesty or brains by an
act Of Congress, but it is thought that
it may be possible to devise some
amendment to the national bank act
that will make less frequent failures

TwAoDLE, MORE OR LESS.

THE Every Evening in discussing
j. the need OF new and better
water system declares that this IS
mo time for dllatory tactics" 1t is
true but the remark may be inter-
preted In various ways
We remember that when Mayor
Weaver halted operations on the Phil
adelphia flter In order to stop graft
ing. the gang said that 1t was no time
for dilatory tactics. and began talk
ing about the deplorable condition of
the water.
We don't mean to say that there Is
graft in our affairs; nobody believes
there Is. bat 1t Is fact. nevertheless
that as soon as anybody raises the
question OF the legality OF the acts OF
the department the reply comes back
in effect: "Oh. you are trying to keep
the people from having pure water"
Now we can have pure water by
legal methods just as well as we can
by Illegal methods. And all Of this
talk about the officials working In
harmony is twaddle if somebody isn't
obeylng the law. II the statutes are
observed. then there is no occasion for
excuses; II they are not, then we don't
want harmony.

of the cart was perched darkey who IN
one hand held the re.ns while with the
other he ciutched a pie which he was
gulpng down In mouthfuls. At the sight
of the car the animal began to prance
about and raise its hind legs in a sus-
picious manner. Without showing the
least signs of trepdation the colored
man placed one foot on the horses back
TO hold him down. and, with mouth full
Of pie exclaimed: whoa thar you Old

CHRlSTlN ENDEV r

Topic for October /: "The joys Of
churchmembership." / Thess. 5.5-i5; Luke
le:s. Notes from World
/. The first reason why one should be a
church member is because our Saviour re-
quires us TO confess Him before men, and
joining Ills church is the best and usually
the only way TO do this
.. The second reason why one should
join the church is because thus you assoc
ciate yourself with others of the same
aim, and you are able to do far more
good
8. As these are the chief Though by no
means the only reasons why you should
Join thee hurch. they point out also the
chief joys Of church-membersh'p you are
pleasing Christ you are helping others.
They are the supreme joys of communion
and service.

you yourself have found I'm church-mem-
bership. and call for similar testimonies
from others.

MORE TRAINED NURSES.

A \ ANNOUNCEMENT comes to
1 n us that attracts our attention
and commands our spacei BY the
terms Of fund 20 be administered in
connection with the Philadelphia
School for Nurses. wltherspoon Build
ing, Philadelphia, number Of young
women from every county will re-
ceive free training in nursing. II is
planned to ultimately reach and help
in this way every village and town
ship.
The young woman will be provided
with room. board. nurse uniforms and
all the rehnements of a well-appointed
Christian home. At graduation the
displomas Of the school and the Or
der Of the Red Cross will be conferred,
qualifying for practice in any state
or country; the railroad fare will then
be paid back home.
Those applying and chosen to re-
lcelve the benefits Of this fund will be
given two years training, with rich
experience in nursing the sick poor Of
the city under skilled leaders. The
term may be shortened to IS months
by taking a preliminary course of six
months reading and study at home.
a special short course enables young
women to quickly qualify themselves
for self-support and substantial in
come.
This means more than the training
Of many young women to "a useful oc-
cupation It means more than good
nursing for those who are prepared
to pay for it, When these young wo-
men. educated in the science Of nurs-
ing. in proper sanitary regulations and
hundred items that go towards pre-
serving health are scattered in the
towns aud villages, they become mis-
sionarles and their knowledge gradu
ally spreads until the standards Of the

Two STATES ANp THE NEGRO.

IT HE colored voter of Delaware may
\ take a lesson for his future gui-
dance from the condition Of his broth
er over in Maryland At the state
convention on Thursday resolution
calling for constitutional amend
ment to disfranchise negroes was un-
animously adopted.
The feature OF the occasion was the
speech Of Senator German In which
he declared that he proposed to devote
the rest Of his life If necessary to the
cause Of negro Acknowledgement
His plea that the rights Of the white
people are menaced by the ballot in
the hands Of the colored man will be
correctly estimated when we remem-
Der the vast preponderance OF white
voters IN Maryland But that is aside
from our purpose at this time. What
is most significant is to see what De-
mocracy In our neighboring state
when IN power proposes to do. It
throws some light upon Democratic
hopes and plans in this state. and
helps us TO form am estimate Of DEM
ocratic motives IN flirting with our
negro councilman recently.
The colored preachers recently in
set Of resolutions denounced the
Republican newspapers as the enemy
OF the colored race. or course the
oolored man must decide for himself
who are his friends. and in doing this
he should carefully weigh the Demo-
cratic platform in Maryland Negro
disfranchisement-that is all OF It.
In large measure the colored man
Of Delaware may determine whether
Re shall continue to exercise the fran
chise. There is something more inn
portant for him than holding Office
and the selling of votes has become
disgusting TO the very men who buy
them
This wave OF negro disfranchise-
ment that has swept over the south
and is now menacing the border states
has nearly reached Delaware. The coll
ored man here must decide who are
his friends and what conduct ne shall
pursue. and act accordingly.
