MIR. CHAI A KOREAN ELDER

When MIR. Chat began to attend the church n
hunsan about ten years ago, he had on hand
law suit in which he hoped to get help Thougb
he soon found that such help was not to be had
rom the missionary, he continued to attend the
meetings, became interested in the Gospel AMI
Judging from subsequent events, was converted
through his efforts largely a number of his
nelghbors became Christians, and church was
established in his village. In course of time he
was elected their first elder. MIR. Chat is an in
dependent farmer of the middle class and is re-
spected by all who know him. He is quiet and
retiring, but man of force and courage who
knows how to make his influence felt when the
occasion arises. In the oversight of the home
group, in assisting in Bible classes and examina-
tons In other groups and in evangelist1c trips he
gives much time and labor to the church. for
which he neither expects receives any re
Enumeration. The interests of the church are dear
TO NM He reJoces i'll its progress and weeps
over Its failures. In the examination recently
up0l the Shorter Catechsm and Church Govern
lncnt, as prescribed by the Presbyterian Council
lie showed a thorOughness of knowledge that was
most gratifying In faith, wisdom and zeal he
comes as near being ideal elder in his sphere
as any have known any where. Truly we give
THANKS upon every remembrance of him for he
mas never given us occasion to regret but rather
always to be glad. His ordination recently was
peculiar pleasure not only because he was the
hrst elder III the Kunsan field but because we felt
sure that we were setting up pillar that shall
not be moved till its work is done.

THE ONLY SENSIBLE VIEW

Every few weeks some fanatic,
who is worse scared than hurt, or
perhaps wants to "Out Herod,
Herod;;" attempts to start trouble
between the whites and blacks in
some sections of the country, and by
no means is this confined to the
South.
1t is unwise. from every stand
point, to excite race haiti ed further.
The negro is here, and here to stay,
and it may be well, in this connec
ton. TO remind some folks that he
did not bring himself here. At the
beginning he was a very unwilling
subject. 1t may be well also to re-
mark that the South would never
consent to his colonization or re-
moval. 1t was tried a few years
ago. with the result that those who
undertook it were given so many
days to leave the country. In the
South cotton is king, and this par
ticular king cannot be maintained
without the colored laborer.
1t has been pretty well demon
strated that, to educate, and make
him feel the responsibilities Of clti-
zenship is the only sensible way to
deal with the negro.
Happily in Ohio county, we have
never had any race troubles, and
consequently very little race hatred.
Here, the colored people. generally,
have been content to pursue their

own vocation, with no desire to
court social equality with the whites,
but with marked effort to care for
those of their race. dependant.
The colored race deserves our
pity, rather than censure, or brutal
treatment, without excuse. merely
because of color. The one who
would accord the unOffending negro
brutal treatment, or deny him an
opportunity to improve his moral
condition, advertises a small soul,
and, if given an opportunity. would
be brutal to the whites as well.
Sometimes attempts have been
made to discredit Republicans, be.
cause they have only been kind, and
willing to assist the negro in his at
tempts, under great difficulties, to
educate himself. In this connection
We wish to quote from the pen of
Henry Watterson, a Democrat of
Democrats, in Tuesdays Courier
Journal
1T is to be hoped that the friends
of James H. Fuqua at Russellville,
who proposed to boycott" him if he
introduces Booker T. Washington at
Frankfort, constitute small list up
on the roster of his friends and a
small part of the population of the
hospitable little capital of Logan
county. If they are prominent
citizens" of Russellville, as set forth
by correspondents, they are not rep
resentative citizens of Kentucky.
To say that Booker T. Washington
is one of the sanest men in the
South, and one of the most dispas-
sionate students of the race question
that the presence Of freed negroes
in the United States has produced,
would be to go over old ground. As
an educator and thinker he has at
tanned prominence and achieved dis
tinction, not only because of his
ability and earnestness, but also be-
cause of his tact he has displayed in
lessening friction where too often

THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing on the part of Hartford
voters on the bond question. In the
order for the election, it is stated
that levy of rs cents upon the one
hundred dollars worth of property
will be made to pay the amount to
sinking fund and interest. Now,
this does not mean any additional
levy. We are paying rs cents and
81 so poll now. That is all the law
will permit. 1t is safe to say the
levy will remain the same for some
years to come, and, unless we vote
the bonds, we will continue to do with
out the sewerage and macadamized
streets also. .... ..
No one will deny, who knows the
conditions, that during the summer
the main business part of town has
been in a terrible unsanitary condi-
ton. The property owners, as in
dividuals, are not so much to blame
for this. They cannot get rid of
this filth without some adequate I'M
derground drainage system. AS
our population grows, conditions
will be worse. The only result of
delay will be an epidemic of sickness,
such as we have never known before.
We are up against this proposition
now, and the only way the City
Council can do anything to relieve
this condition, is for the voters to
support this measure. and give it
the money with which to work.
1t is believed that the amount
asked for will furnish the sewerage
system and finish matchmaking our
streets, which is an absolute necessi-
ty to the growth of the town, as
we'll as a just concession to those
who live on streets which have not
been improved, and are being taxed
to maintain those which have.

Several unfortunate incidents

greater injury than they have done
the well intentioned, but mistaken
white men, who have essayed to
make q social equal of negro who
has never sought such distinction

its possibility to his race. There
can be no reason why the Superih-

would be a credit to Kentucky if he

friends prating about the tariff be-
ing a necessary part of the trusts,
we are forced to ask them if, they
are willing to advocate abolishing'
the tariff on tobacco. in order to
kill the tobacco trust. We challenge
any Democratic paper, in this meek
of the woods" to do so. No Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in
Kentucky would dare take such a
position. Everybody with grain
of sense knows the American tobac-
co trust would be delighted to see
the tariff removed from tobacco,
enabling it to import the Cuban and
other South American tobaccoes,
and knock out the American Society
of Equity, in so far as they could
substitute for our article.

IT is said the Democrats are secur-

primary to serve at $l.00 per day.
The regular election officers are
paid $500. So the primary officers
are contributing SLIGO each to the
cause. The Hartford Herdid should
look into this.
