Tuskegee Graduates.

Naturally, some one asked the ques-
tion, "What becomes of the graduates
from Tuskegee instituted" and fortu-
nately Principal Washington had a
practical answer ready for the query.
He has recently published q list Of the
graduates in Montgomery county, Ala
bama, and the employment Of each. Of
the ninety men graduates resident in
the county, twenty two are carpenters,
fifteen farmers, seven blacksmiths,
eight briekmasons. Of the forty women
twenty four are housekeepers, eight
teachers and five nurses.
This is a very satisfactory DISPOSE
tion Of the graduates Of the Institute.
It shows that the institution is doing
the work it advertises to do. It is
teaching the negro the nobility Of
work and training him to more effective
service. The demand for negro skilled
labor In the south is greater than the

Man-Flight and Sea Mastery.

1t has remained for an English pub.
licist to declare that on the day when
man solves the problem Of locomotion
in the air, the mastery Of England on
the seas will come to an end. A few
years ago such a declaration would not
have been portentous for the empire.
But now, when some Santos-D umont is
likely any day to try his new wings
and mount aloft, the prophecy takes on
deeper meaning.
The development Of the aeroplane, on
which the flight ambition. of modern
science is now pretty well concentrated,
is the last phase of experimentation
preceding complete success. The diri.
gible balloon has been abandoned as a
practical device. It has served its turn
in giving scientific aeronauts expert.
ence in solving the many problems con-
nected with man-fight, but, as q device
that will ever permit man to fly thru
the air as fast and as safely and as
regularly as he now rides on the earth,
it is a complete failure. II is now well
understood that the vast surface it's
huge gas bag offers to the wind makes
it's use uncertain and unsafe and its
speed variable and much lower than
that Of railroad trains. ~ 49,,
If the airship is to become practi-
cable, it must be able to 60 and come
in all weathers and it must fly at least
as fast as locomotives can run. And SO
the problem is how, to make the wind
help instead Of hinder. Already Santos
Dumont has flown far enough with his
box-kite wings and. has governed his
flight well enough with his box-kite
rudder that moves either vertically OF
laterally, to. demonstrate that the prob
lem is almost solved.
It is difficult to conceive Of the vast
changes in social, political and econom-
ic conditions that will supervene when
man is master Of the air. Certainly,
the occupation" Of the. huge navies OF.
today will be gone. y Dreadnoughts and
skeered-o '-Nothings will no longer be
the hectors and DULLES of the seas, for
he who rides the air dominates the sea.
And how can any one nation or empire
rule the air as Brittania now rules the
waves Perhaps the day when man flies
will be succeeded by. the day Of the
Republic Of the World. 49,. ~ ,t

Opposition to Bryce,

What little opposition there is to the
appointment of James Bryce as British
ambassador at Washington comes from
the British themselves. They complain
of him that he is pro-Boer, pro-Irish,
pro-American--pro-everythingb but pro
British. AS a literary man the British
admire his r.. judicial calm, but they
realize the fact that the procession may
pass an ambassador who is enveloped
in Judicial calm and who suffers from
the belief that his, own country is
shaky on civilization. Ambassadors
must. be advocates, not Of civilization,
but of their, own country's brand Of
civilization. ..... ,....%
British imperialists who have seen
with, horror that MI. Bryce did not
hesitate to disapprove one Of his coun-
try's wars, who have qualkea with fear
when they saw him elevated to the Sec
retaryship for Ireland are now having
a convulsions at the thought of a dis
memberer of the empire, one hand in
glove with Gladstone in the disrupting
process, having first voice in his coun-
try's affairs at the foreign capital. :
We may be inclined to laugh at this
extreme British view Of Ambassador
Bryce, but let us not forget that one
of the most unpopular things President
Cleveland did was to, appoint Mr..
Phelps, who had not been active
loyaist during the rebellion, to be
minister at st. James. The war had
long passed and Professor Phelps cur
rent loyalty to his country was not
doubted, but his record was dissected
bitterly at the time Of his appointment.
The tendency of countries to select
men who are strong with the lands to
which they are accredited may easily
be overdone. The ambassador cannot
be good fellow abroad, but he must
be known always as a Jealous watcher
for the land that pays him. I: ---: y

. THAT SkIDOO PROBLEM

The Skfdoo Problem Editor has re-
ce1ved two communications in which the
writer's dissent from the award Of the
prize. and has had one call from a gentle
man WHO believed that the prize should
have gone to the best mathematical solu-
tion On the whole, considering the large
number Of correct answers received, this
betokens a fair degree of satisfaction
with the final decision. 49,. E+& s
Naturally, differences Of opinion arise
where a question of taste is involved. To
some 1t may seem that the winning solu-
ton is less CLEVER than some other that
was sent in. One can only quote to these
the old saying. Everyone to his taste.''
The objections of the mathematical
sharps, are equally natural, no doubt but
can be given no real weight. One. obtec-
tor says that the winner furnished no
mathematical analysis of the problem and
that he did. He asks why the L. C. M
of the numbers 2 to % is first multiplied
by 8 before the ! is added. An examin-
alton of this objector's analysis shows
that he found this magic multiple of 8
by inspection" And there you are. I'm
spection" is not a. highly mathematical
process, and the editor Is unable to see
how his "analysis'% Is any better, than
that of the winner. H. r-si.. . :
The second objector points out that
there is a series Of numbers beginning
with the magic 6sS,777,6S1, any one of
which satisfies the conditions. He there
fore maintains that his answer-which Is
that the number Is "indeterminate''-1s
the correct one. The difficulties Of hand
ling so many pennies. however, make the
requirement that the smallest possible
number that will answer the require
ments be selected, reasonable and proper.
And so the answer "indeterminate'' can
not be accepted as the correct one. -

The Famine in China.

The Journal is requested by
Daniel R. Noyes Of st. Paul, chairman
Of the executive committee Of the Min
nesota branch Of the American Red
Cross, to print an appeal to the public
an behalf OF the sufferers by famine in
China. This appeal appears on this
page. While the sufferers by famine
are about as remote from US in point
Of distance as they could be, the means
of. communication which have ami
hilated space and distance have al
ready brought to the attention of the
people Of America the desperate condi-
ton Of the inhabitants of one Of the
most populous and commercially i'm
portant valleys Of the great empire Of
China. It is estimated that twenty
millions Of people are sufferers by the
floods which have destroyed their
crops. Relief must go promptly or
death will overtake thousands of these
unfortunate people.
The Red Cross appeals in behalf Of
this case Of great and genuine distress
to the prosperity and abundance which
the people of America enjoy today in
larger degree than ever before, and
confident that in this day Of plenty
they will not ignore this cry of dis
tress. .-.'@. I
While other considerations than those
of Humanity may not seem; to have
any proper place here, yet it may not
lessen our interest in the appeal to
consider. what great opportunity
there is offered here to win favor Of
the people of China and open wider
than ever before the doors of that
great empire to western commerce,
western influence and western civiliza-
tion. In the absence Of any general
organized relief movement outside Of
the Red Cross, individuals will find
in that agency channel thru which to
bestow their gifts. Of the Minnesota
branch, Kenneth Clark Of st. Paul is
treasurer.

A Legislative Reference Bureau

There is prospect Of Minnesota Dor
rowing an idea from Wisconsin this
winter, in the establishment Of legis-
1ative reference department., The Wis
consin department. is a pioneer in it's
line, and in it's efficient service it is
a model. It's fame has gone out over
the country, and similar bureaus will
be created in other states
d The Wisconsin department is an or
ganized and. indexed bureau, of informa-
ton, containing the laws Of other
states, assorted and at the fingers ends
Of the superintendent, with a mass Of
documents and collated information on
every subject that a legislature is
likely to take notice of: - In charge of
this library is competent man who
is ready to draft bills to incorporate
any idea legislator has, and to- draft
them right. Mr.. Mccarthy, who has
built up the Wisconsin department., has
made himself invaluable to the mem
bers. -
The idea is being agitated in New
Jersey by Everett. Colby, the young
state senator who "got mad' and
has been camping on the trail of Dry
den and the system in that stamping
ground Of special privilege. Mr.. Colby
says that corporation lawyers have been
drawing the bills in that state for
good many years, and they have always
taken pains to make them harmless to
their masters, the corporations. With
reference department. the legislature
would be independent Of the corpora
tion attorneys, and could adopt legis-
lation that had been tried and found
effective in other states.
This is a point worth considering
when the question comes up in Mime
sofa. There has long been a demand
for functionary to draw bills for the
legislature. The attorney general
hasn't the time to draft several hun
dred measures, and not more than one
member in ten has the requisite knowl-
edge Of forms to draw a bill that will
accomplish what he is aiming at. The
Wisconsin idea provides man to do
this work, and not only that. It pro-
--5dea q bureau Of information that VIII
