A VILE PATHFINDER.

Like sauerbraut, scrappel and lob ster a la Newburg, the pumpkin pie Is an exptic in these parts. It was brought here from New England 1855 years ago and it is to be found today upon the bill of fare of every public coffee-house in Baltimore but it has never been truly naturalized, It is still a benighted alien tolerated, but not loved. The people of Maryland are polite to it but they have no con .fdence in it.
 A consideration of the pumpkin pies anatomy is sufficient to make these suspicious seem reasonable and just. Ut iss in fact, an arrant fraud, It wears a wig and mask. It pretends to be something that it is not. Calling itself pumpkin pie, 1t is in reality, spice pie The spices in it give 1t it's flavor The pumpkin is reduced to the lowly office of a bulk producing solvent or mesiium-that same office which sand fills in sugar, sawdust in oatmeal and prune juice in rye whis- key. M XsgiEAAF
 Thus examined in the cold glare of actual fact, the pumpkin pie becomes obviously bogus and unspeakably con temptible. The pumpkin in 1t is a mere stalking horse. One might sub stitute watermelon rind, cymling or mock orange for 1t and no one would be the wiser. As a matter of fact common runlor hints that in the
 pumpkin pie of commerce apple but ter and glucose are employed in tha' nefarious manner; and not only ap- pie butter and glucose, but also corn 1 Starch and ran.Raltimore Sun.

That fact may convince Mir, Cleveland of his superior wisdom in keeping his shirt on and the blue uniform off.

RAIRoADs WITH FLEETS.

Every Large British Railroad Com-
 pany Owns Steamers and Docks.
 It is seldom realized how widely the power of British railways ertends over the sea as well as over the land
 This state of affairs is peculiar to this country, says the London Globe, being due to our insular position and the absolute dependendenee of our population as a whole upon foreign trade for its means of subsistence. Hence, we find nearly every large rail- way company in the United Kingdom owing either docks, harbors, or fleet of steamers, and some of them all three. However, In view of the terrible diaster that has befallen railway owned passenger vessel, we propose furnishing some particulars of our railways as stlip owners, so as GO give an idea of the magnitude of this branch of their sea power
 Of the millions of travellers who annually pass between this country and other States a very large percent age make the voyage under the flag of a British railway company. There are thirteen railways which own fleets, and not counting the craft which ply only on inland rivers and lakes, the grand total of these vessels numbers 165, aggregate gross tonnage, 167402.
 The first railway company to obtain powers for the transportation of pas sengers and goods by sea was the Chester and Holyhead in 1S4T. The bill was vehemently opposed by shipping companies throughout the kingdom on the ground that 1t would create undue competition and interfere with their existing rights and that oversea com munication was outside the sphere of legitimate operation of railway com pany.
 Robert Stephenson cf1eckmated the opposition by forming a separate com pany, composed of the directors of and large shareholders In the railway, which would be ready to take over the

 was confrmel in my belief that American learning would be greatly strengthened If more of our graduate students under French influence, says Barrett Wendell, in Scribners. The in- fluenee of German scholarship on American during the past ninety years has been admirable, but perhaps exces- sive. It has taught us a respect fo1 fact and method which our earlier learning lacked. 1t has tended at the same time to encourage the notion that the object and end of all learning is the metaodical collection of fact.
 No one would for an instant pretend this error to be prevalent among the higher minis of Germany. Few cam deny that 1t is apt to possess the minds of Americans, who, having studied in Germany, come home no longer Amer iean, nor yet. soundly German The el der influence. of English scholarship i'm America. the while, has tended rather to the sustenance of tradition than to the recognition of newer learning, and thus perhaps to rather attenuated pe- dantry. The unmixed influence of France might perhaps tend toward premature philosophizing.
 To this danger, however, the scholar ly minds of America seem at this mo- ment little exposed. Could our gradu- ate students who propose devoting their lives to learning come more fre- quently under the influence of the com bined industry and intelligence of mod ern scholarship in France, the Ameri- can universities of years to come might be at once more stimulating in their atmosphere than now seems quite like ly.
 On the other hand, we have seen more than once, however much such students might benefit by the scholar ly influences so strong throughout France, they would find there no such love for the regions where learning lin- gers as makes gracious in way all their own, the great universities of England and the elder colleges of America which have grown from our colonia! traditions.

 Order buyers at the stock yards for thin cattle that go back to the coun- try as stockers and feeders invariably make the color the paramount consid- eration. They say that it's very seldom they receive an order wherein the per- son does not say something about good color"
 Tn breeding up" the herds of the West and Southwest red has asserted itself, and the yellow Texas and Mexico steers are a thing of the past. Because they now possess enough richness in color the range cattle sell on par with native bred stock. Mountain cattle, because of a certain deepness to their red color, sell better approximately than grades equally as good in other respects from lower country.
 Horses and mules and hogs come under the same dispensation in regard to colors.
 The united States government speci- ties in all it's contracts that only hardy colors' are permitted. It means by this bays, sorrels and blacks. Dapple grays are permitted in the drafter class Whites, roans and mix ed colors are excluded.
 A large number of mules are sold at Kansas City each year to the min- ing districts, but dealers say the white and roan mule is never bought for mining purposes. A mine operator, from Pennsylvania said a few weeks ago: T never knew but one white mule to be used in mine, and that was in my mine He looked so much like a ghost in the dim light in the tunnel he caused all the other mules to run away. We were forced to sell him after one trip"
 Bays and blacks are the best colors for mules.
 The white and red hogs have attrac- ted much attention lately A white hog prospers best in warm climate, and government inspectors say the red hog is condemned often for tuberculosis than any other kind The black hog is generally a favorite with the packer buyer.

AS TIME GOES ON.
How the Future Looks to a Thoughtful
 Soutllerner

How the Future Looks to a Thoughtful southerner
 We agree earnestly with much that Joel Chandler Harris says. We think that, considering the whole record and considering all the conditions, the ne- groes in the south as a mass are en- titled to vast credit that they have done so we'll as they have. Yet. no- body can change the fact that south- ern white people, by training. tradition and instinct, regard the negro as ser want and a laborer. The more prosper ous he Is. the more he is educated, the higher he rises in the moral scale the more constantly must he cease to be a servant and laborer and become a ri- val. We cannot give people normal school and collegiate educations and ex- pect them to be plowmen, hoe hands, cooks and maids except in very rare and happy instances.
 While it is true in every southern city that the great majority of the negroes are quiet and respectable people, es- tablishing their homes and earning their living, it is equally true that in every southern city the complaint of lack of domestic service becomes more urgent and bitter and the character of the negroes as servants deteriorates slow ly but steadily. Honest and intelligent colored women and men who will go into the service and serve faithfully and fairly, showing some conscience and care in their work, become scarcer and scarcer every year. We are not discus sing where the blame is. We are deal ing with the plain, manifest, indlsput- able facts.
 The tie of service rendered and ac- cepted is the last remaining now be- tween the two races. They separated in politics long ago. social connection between them is impossible. The sena- ration in feeling is going on daily be- fore our eyes. We are approaching rap- idly the time when the only point of contact between the two races will bA through the degraded and immoral of both. When we reach that point. which MT Harris, optimistic as he is. and affectionate as he naturally is. and as S'ii Oi u2 ol tONdIQ Lie negro Ol lJn- cle Remus type, the problem of mutual prosperity will be as far from solution as ever, if not further The more the negro prospers the more highly educa- ted he becomes; the higher he rises in morality and sharper will be the rival .ry between us Suppose we canproiect our minds forward fifty or a hundred years to situation where negroes and

 cent. The south is losing domestic ser wants and Iaborers and the north is gaining citizens of an alien race, al- lowed full social and political equality under the law and steadily growing in numbers. At the north the process of amalgamation seems to be well un- der way We do not believe that the white people of either section will con- tinue to rest under such conditions. In some of the northern states the ne- gro vote holds the balance of power and the politicians cater to it seryilely because the negro continues to vote there as he did here, not as a citizen or member of any political organi- zation, but as a negro going with his race and following his leaders. We be- lieve more strongly than ever that the moral, social, political and business sep aration already existing between the two races must result presently in a physical separation. We do not believe that two peoples, separated in every thing else on earth, can continue to oc- cupy the same territory and to live to- gether under the same government.- Leader.
