THE PASSING OF PROF. w. L.
CANSLER.

In the death of Prof. w. L. Cansler.
loses one of her most pro
gressive citizens Mr.. Cansler was long
identified with the educational work OF
this city, and in religious work he was
known from one end Of this country to
the other, because of his Identification
with the National Baptist Convention,
the largest Negro convention in the
United States, and other religious or
CARNATIONS.
Locally, until his health began to
fail, he was connected with all the re.
ligious organizations which worked
for the betterment of the individual
churches, his denomination and the
race. AS a lodge man, his popularity
can be readily seen when the fact is
stated that at the meeting of the
knights of Pythias, held in Knoxville
last month, though scarcely able to be
present, he was reelected unanimously
and by reclamation to one of the most
important offices in the gift of the Or
der. In other fraternities his true
worth was recognized in like man
ner
Mr.. Cansler had his peculiarities,
but beneath what at times seemed to
be a rough exterior there was a warm.
tender heart that ever beat with the
consistency of a true friend. Few, in
deed, will be the former school boys
and girls who were students Of BILLY
Cansler, who will not feel like drop
ping a tear on hearing of the passing
of this, one of the favorite teachers Of
their youth. They knew him. They
loved him.
The various organizations with
which Prof. Cansler was connected
the city Of Nashville, and the Negro
race have sustained loss which they
could i'll afford by the death of Viii
liam L. Cansler.

HARD KNOCK ON HIS PATE.

A man whose name was not learned
was knocked down and badly hurt by
a rock thrown by one Sol Bass, who
took French leave after seeing he had
got his man down and out, if not for
good, at least temporarily. The diff
Guilty occurred in the alley leading off
10 Johnston avenue, between Fouakh
and Fifth avenues, Tuesday night.
The cause of the difficulty, it is said,
was Jealousy, The injured man was
douched with water and had to be
worked with cosiderably before he was
brought back to consciousness. The
policemen on the beat went in search
of the irate Sol, hoping to bag him.
But Sol thought any other part of the
city would be more comfortable for
residence than 10 Johnston avenue
the Pike-the scene of his late esca-
pade.

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS.

Governor Patterson by pardoning
eighteen boys last week administered
a rebuke to the penal system Of this
state and made palmer than ever be-
fore the urgent, the dire need of an in
stitution where hayward youths could
be confined with the ultimate end in
view Of reforming them. From time
to time individual cases where young
sters, almost too young to differentiate
between right and wrong, who had
been convicted of felonies have
aroused public sentiment, but, so far
as we know, never before have the
facts of how child Imprisonment is
practiced in this state been brought
before the public in such concrete
form.
The prisoners whom the Governor
pardoned, ranged in age from 10 years
to Is years. The former case being
that of a colored lad sent up from
Franklin County for burglary, while
the latter was that of white youth
Co.ninltCed for twelve years from
Blount County on the charge of rape.
The total ages Of the Is boys was 245
years, making an average age OF 1873
years. The average of the IL colored
boys is 1876 years and that of the Z
whites is 1928 years.
The conditions made bare by the
executive clemency Of Mr.. Patterson
are APPALLING and should cause an hon
est blush of shame to spread over the
people of this proud state who have
always congratulated themselves upon
our humane institutions They show
that while meeting out justice too oft

welcome visitor. They show tha
though legislatures have been impor
tuned by Governors-notably Robt. l.
Taylor-to provide for the reforma
ton of youthful criminals, the law

ment has been inexcusably derelict tt
one of it's highest obligations.
Governor Patterson may be crit
cised for the wholesale pardoning o
these boys. Such is to be expected

THE STRIKE OF THE TELEGRA.
PIERS.


The strike of the telegraphers has
made the daily papers of the country
assume the appearance of a scrap
book filed with clippings appealing to
various trends of thought. 1t has
further drawn the attention of the
public TO the irrepressible conflict be-
tween organized labor and organized
capital, battle between a labor trust
on the one side and on the other side
two companies between which it is
claimed there is an agreement to mo-
nopolize, without competition, the tel
egraphic business of the country.
This strike, which if it continues to
spread will cause great losses to all
lines Of business, was caused, osten-
sibly, by a California telegrapher, who
was discharged because he refused to
live up to the agreement made by the
Union in that state recently. The man
was discharged and the Union demand
ed his reinstatement to which demand
the Company refused to accede Then
from one office to another, until all
the country seems to be involved, the
Union men have left their keys.
In contest between capital and la
Dor the sympathy of the masses is
always with the latter when there is
the slightest semblance of just COM
plant upon its part. The huge sums
Of money paid out in dividends, the
large amounts often put aside by these
mammoth business enterprises as un.
divided profits, the seeming disregard
by many of these corporations for the
rights Of the public, make the sym,
pathy naturally drift towards the men
who are doing the drudgery which pile
the great fortunes of the owners OF
such concerns.
Inc public is willing to take the
side of the striker when he has a real
grievance. 1t realizes that some Of
the most salutary reforms ever accom-
plished in the industrial world have
been brought about by the organized
opposition of labor, but it has little pa
thence with a sympathetic strike
brought about to uphold a workman
who will not live up to his own agree
ment The telegraphers undoubtedly
have the right to demand higher
wages and doubtless they deserve it
but they should free themselves from
the odium Of striking to uphold un
worthy members.

The lilly white" election commits

Negroes to act as registrars, even when
some districts are composed almost ex-
clusively of colored voters. Formerly
though the majority of the Commits
sion were democrats in some wards,
the Negroes were recognized when ap-
pointments were made. The republi-

little difference these days. Another
