GAINESVILLE AS VIEWED BY

Gainesville is a hustling city" said
Mr.. Samuel A. Swami, Monday, IN
Disgusting his visit there. when he

ell.
There Is an air Of progress and
prosperity there, which was pleased
to note. II you spend few days IN
Gainesville you can appreciate the
great extent Of progress made IN this

TRAINING FOR THE NEGRO.

The Washington Herald Of recent
date contains an enlightening inter
view with Charles Heron, manufac-
turer Of Chattanooga, Tenn, and a
large employer Of negro labor on
the industrial deficiencies Of the lat
ter race, and the most feasible rem
edy.
While conceding that the race, as a
whole is afflicted with a growing per-
centage Of shiftless individuals, Mr.
Heron speaks optimistically, as fol
lows:
"The proportion OF Industrious
negroes to the total number is nearly
az large as among the white people
What the negro race needs is more
discipline and training to do the &C
tual work that is to be done. They
should receive manual training in the
schools. Many are acquiring proper
" and are an asset in the industrial
South, but the younger generation
needs training. and should have It
no matter how much It costs"
Mr.. HerrOn's views gather import
ance from the fact that he has been
brought into close contact with the
negro laborer and is intimately &C
quainted with his shortcomings,
What he says with reference TO the
advisahility Of manual training IL IN
exact accord with the attitude offer
reiterated by The Constitution.

While our standpatter Republican
friends are enjoying the 'usufruct Of
their alliance with the tarin-protected
trusts, the tariff Var with other coun-
tries is certainly and gradually 'uh-
dormining our foreign commerce The
state Department officials are in a
very unsatisfactory condition and
nothins can be done to mend them
until Congress acts, the officials say,
there is good reason for believing
that France has decided steadily to
increase the duties up on American
imports to such an extent that in
many instances they are likely to be
probibitive." AS the Republican ma
iorlty in the House ct Representa-
tiyes is opposed to tariff reform and
the Senate has refnsedcto ratify the
treaties for reciprocity with other ma.
tions. the prospect Of the coming
Congress any law that win reduce the
tariff schedules, however high and un-
reasonable, is out Of the question
The temporary arrangement with
Germany viii only exist untii the next
Congress has had an opportunity to
pass on reciprocity arrangement
with that country, or enact a general
tariff revision law that will admit i'm
ports from Germany on a basis that
win satisfy that country and thus
permit our exports to enter there at
the minimum rates.
If the standpat faction prevails at
the next Republican national conyen-
ton, and that can hardly befdoubted
as nearly all the leaders are for let
ting well enough alone the present
incipient tariff war, will reach an
acute stage and the real fight for
commercial supremacy win be a very
serious question.
+ To leave the tariff to be settled
by "the friends of protection" Will
mean no settlement at all, but merely
a continuation Of the Republican pol
icy, heretofore and now prevailing OF
protecting the trusts and making the
balance of us pay the tax that trust
high prices entail. The only relief
that can come to those who feel that
the present high cost of living is be
