ed. That is the best way to help de-
velop Portland The United Rail-
ways Co., for instance, that is to
spend millions in the Willamette val
ley, territory Immediately tributary
to Portland, ought to be let into the
city, and along Front or First street,
on some terms or other If its PROPOSE
ton as to franchise tax is fair, and
it seems to be, giving the city power
to buy the road at an actual valua-
ton later, the franchise ought to be
granted, unless some equally respon-
sible and reliable people make a bet
ter proposition. The city as we'll as
the country needs this and other
roads, and the way to get them is to
deal with the men who have the
money to do business to build the
roads on fair terms.
Or if it be the decided policy of the
city to retain the actual ownership of
waterfront railways through the city,
that fact should be made known and
the city authorities should at once
and in earnest set about preparing to
build, and to accommodate the rail-
roads terminating here, This, how
ever, would require good deal OF
time, for a large issue of bonds would
be necessary, and that would take
legislation and perhaps litigation.
probably the better way would be to
grant franchise to the best company
and the one offering the best terms.
with the privilege on the city's part
of taking over the property at fu.
ture time The roads are wanted al

So with gas franchise. The peo-
pie of Portland ought not to be sub
jected for single month longer than
is necessary to the extortions and
poor service of the present gas mo-
nopoly. The Chicago council has re-
Gently made a contract for 85-cent
gas for five years, and Mayor Dunno
will probably veto it because he
thinks that so cents is enough for
gas. Portland has now grown large
enough to have gas that is gas and
not hot air, at cost of not over rs
or 80 cents, and any responsible COM
pany that will give us such gas
should be given franchise on fairly
liberal terms.

EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO,


The manifest inconsistency and In
justice Of some Southerners-and
some Northerners too, for that mat
ter-to the Negro is shown by their
concurrent opposition to his exercis-
ing the rights and enjoying the privi-
leges of citizenship conferred by the
constitution, because he is not men
tally and morally fit therefor, and
their opposition to his education and
enlightenment lest he gets above the
position" and considers himself equal
with the whites. On the one hand
they say he is of an inferior race that
can never come near the white race
in intelligence, thrift, morality and
ability, and on the other hand they
object to giving him a chance for de-
velopment and improvement and so
to see what he could make of himself.
If the Negro race is far inferior to
the white race in many respects, con-
slider it's history for many genera
lions, and its lack of opportunity; its
repression and enslavement and deg
relation. If the white race of this
country had like history behind it,
how much better showing would 1t
have made than the Negro race does?
And is it sure of its permanent SUI
periority and dominancy? There are
evidences that this continent was in
habited long before the Indians were
it's sole occupants by a highly civil
lized race of people. What became
of them? How do the Greece and
Italy and Egypt of today compare
with those countries over 1000 years
ago? All history is modern; what
happened during the unnumbered
ages Of which we know nothing? Who
knows but there may have been races
far superior to the Anglo-Saxon race
today? A thousand years is but a
brief space of time in this old plan
cts history.
We are not intimating that the Ne
gro race will rise superior in intelli-
gence and power to the caucasian
race; if so, it will be very many cen.
turtles hence. There will be no oc-
casion for ages to come to fear Ne
gro domination, and this will never
occur except through the law of the
survival Of the fittest. But the bet
ter educated the colored race is, or
rather the more generally it is edu-
Gated practically up to a certain point,
the better and more useful citizens
they will be, and less will they blind
ly strive for unattainable or improper
results. Intolerance is a child of ig-
norance, and with more intelligence
the more tolerant will colored people
become of conditions that cannot be
helped without recourse to actions
that would do far more harm than
good. -
Thomas Dixon's colonization scheme
is an impossible one. The Negroes
are in this country to stay, and to inn
prove themselves as best they can,
and make themselves citizens worthy
Of confidence and respect. At least
that is the advice and purpose of theif
wisest leaders, who have an increas-
ing number of followers. Education
will be a plowshare rather than a
sword in their hands, and it must not
be denied them.
