Co'cn.Zing and the Home.

Leigh Hunt, International pro-
meter, colonizer, empire builder. and
citizen of the world, has been visit
ing his colleague in illimitable energy
at the White House. That Hunt has
much in common with the President
is manifest. And he has been ap-
proxlmately as successful, his host
rating him, 1t is said, as one of the
most useful men in the world. A
conversation between the two would
be well worth the hearing.
II is much to be doubted, though.
II even one of these could make
succesS-a real success-of Hunts
latest venture. He proposes to peo-
pie the British Soudan with American
negroes trained in the cultivation of
cotton. None OF the experts seem to
doubt that the soil of the upper Nile
is well suited TO this staple. No one
doubts any more that American
negroes could grow cotton In the
Soudan to their own great profit (and
Leigh Hunt's). If they chose. But
there is whole world of portent in
that phrase IF they chose"
For our colored fellow-citizen is as
fond OF his home as anyone else. He
may cry out against "the infamous
Jim Crow cars" or wake the hills
and valleys. as the orator of his race
would express 1t. with his protest
against "the imperiling crime OF
denying the suffrage" etc, etc, but
he loves his American home in spite
of all that
Surely there is some basal explana-
tion for the failure of the highly de-
veioped scheme of colonization"
which survives even today from the
period Of reconstruction Can anyone
offer better explanation than the
American negro's love of America? :?
The same cause will lead to the same
failure whenever 1t is proposed to
transport any other people, by the

are supposed to be wanderers by the
force Of fate. Yet they would not give
up their homes either in oppressed

tile valleys in Africa.
No; there is something in a mans
home-be he white or black. opu-
iently rich or precariously poor
which he will not willingly exchange
for all the promise a new country can
hold out. 1t takes a stoical as well
as a determined heart to make a
pioneer. Most men have too much
sentiment. Rhodesia is now Offering
the Immigrant a farm, well equipped,
On his own terms-but 1t cannot offer

settler stays away That is the most
recent exposition of this old gre
garious spirit-a spirit that not even
Leigh Hunt can supersede.

ConSummation to Be Wished

Once In a while when real news
grows slack and the telegraph oper-
ators find time to exchange the COM
pliments Of the day over the long
wires. there comes an electric ex-
plosion from the Morse instrument
and when the operator RECEIVERS he
writes out a story that makes the
police reporter hang his head for
shame.
Yesterday the telegraph room of
The Times was filled with the smell
OF burnt insulations and other me-
phitic odors as the brave operator
Transcribed this wild tale of a skunk:
An Ohio scientist who has been ex-
perimenting with chickens and sllunks
found that coal oil fed to the winged
fowl lent added flavor to their eggs.
By process of reasoning known to
the learned as the inductio ad mephi-
ticam, he determined to feed the es-
sential oils of lavender, bergamot, and
orange flowers to his four-footed foul,
believing that thereby he might con-
vert their proper oils to such an in
nocuous condition that the poor
skunks wouldn't hate themselves.
The experiment has succeeded be-
yond his widest expectations. Am
bergris will go out of use as vehicle
for perfumes and rectified skunk oil
will take its place. 1t is said that
one drop of the new liquid will pre-
serve It's aroma until the garment to
which it is applied wears out. Any
one who has lived in the country and
called Kitty" by the uncertain light
Of the moon will easily believe it. Its
permanence and pervasiveness will
not be doubted, and now that Kitty
can have ner essential oils rectihed in
stu, as it were, she will soon become
the pampered pet Of our parlors. All
it needs, it would seem. is a liberal
supply of bergamot, ETC.
Is there enough bergamot in the
world?

sections Of the country to be officially

this preference. the favored paper was
able TO send out the reports to various
sections almost an hour before the ofd-
cial Government report was received.
Farmers looked to the one paper for
their forecasts, and competing journals
demanded the same privilege Of having
a special agent In the Weather Bureau
here. As space would not permit such
an arrangement. Secretary Wilson found
it necessary TO revoke the permit to
the New York parer and have all the
papers wait for the official report un-
til II is completed each day. The differ
ence in time affects only one paper. by
putting it on an equality with all the
other papers Of the country, so that now
all receive reports at the same time.

article, with an imposing array of tg-
ures, intended to impress the IiEiic
with the idea that the Department Il
Agriculture is an unnecessary sx.cpsc

years. This Impression might have been
created in many minds had 1t not been
for the fact that repeated references

Salt Crystals in Russia.

Children In the schools amused
themselves greatly for year or SO,
back in the SOS, by putting a little
salt in an old cup and then by adding
water from day to day, converting it
into mold Of beautiful crystals.
This has been done on larger scale
in Russia for the past half century.
An antiquated cup of organization, the
salt Of theft, and the water Of the
public taxes, poured into the cup, year
after year, have made a richer and
more dazzling structure Of useless
crystals than was ever seen in any
laboratory
Now the news is that the worst
stories of graft In the Cars war
forces have been outdone by the facts.
A special commission created by
Nicholas to investigate the surrender
Of Port Arthur is said 10 have made
a report which will daze even Mus
covy. One feature of it is that Cen
erai Stoessel not only lived bestiaily
during the siege, but came out of it
rich. He is described as "the worst
thief Of the whole" Niebogatoff is
said to have been forced to surrender
by Ibis intoxicated officers and
crews" The quartermaster's depart
ment has outdone all other bureaus
OF the government, according to one
of the surgeons, who had the tenn
erity to write directly to the Car.
In one depot, says this surgeon, he
found more than 100000 pounds of
meat on which he would not think
OF feeding dogs" Even the Little
Father has been impressed, and he is
quoted as saying that "he could not
blame his soldiers for mutinying,
considering the way in which they
have been abused and the provisions
on which they have been fed
So, according to some newspapers,
the bureau organization which en-
gendered ali this shame is to go.
Those crystals are not so easily
knocked away from the cup as that.
One means Of defense open to the
bureaucracy is closed to the reform
ers- The grafters can circulate what
they call 'proclamations." They are
at 1t now. with an energy that would
land the anti-bureaucrats in Jail.
A copy of one such manifesto ascrib-
ed to the grand ducal party has reach
ed The Times. A single paragraph
will show how, sometimes, these salt
crystals eat away the very substance
OF the form they build upon Read
this, you Americans, and reflect upon
the source of this inspiration to riot:
1t is the seditious gentry that have
brought into our lives disorder ana rebel
hon; 1T is they that deny the Car because
they want TO stand in his place them
selves; deny the orthodox faith because
they do not believe In God at all; DENY
their fatherland because they are CO.

iand, with Jews, Poles, and other aliens
