THE question whether the Jeanes bequest
4 shall be accepted by Swarthmore College IS
as far from settlement as ever. The bequest IS
conditioned upon the abandoning Of athletic in
tercollegiate sports by the college. The offer is
tempting and not TO be turned aside lightly.
The undergraduates, who are enamoured oil
athletics, would if they had their say, doubtless
prefer their sports to the bequest, but many OF
the Friends who are the chief supporters of the
college would like 20 see sports minImized

RIVALS For THE HOSPITAL.

It HE good women of Georgetown are stirred
by the agitation for lower State hospital,
to be located in either Kent or Sussex. Three
towns are now discussing the hospital question,
and the rivalry will doubtless result in a hos
pitfalls being erected in one Of these places. OF
course THE JOURNAL has no favorite among
the down State towns.
We all remember the efforts of the devoted
women of Wilmington in building our own hos
ptals. The rivalry between the Delaware and
Homeopathic hospitals was keen, and both
were erected. 1t is not to be expected that more
than one hospital will be built in the lower coun-
ties, but whichever town shows the most prog
ress in this humane work will probably get the

The Cost of Living.

This is an expensive age. The
cost of living is higher than ever be-
fore, and it is accounted for and
compensated for only in the increas-
ed amount of service that is render
ed. We are living at a rapid rate
Life is going out in energy and ac-
tivity, an expenditure of brain and
Drawn Life is especially intense
in the city. In the course of a sin
gle day in city life we have at our
command the results of the labor of
myriads of men and the employ
ment of the brains of a thousand
years. With all of this at our COM
mand we need not be surprised at
an increased cost of living. and be-
cause of these advantages, that SO
much should be required of US.
We are the exchange between
the ages past, present and future
The past pours into our laps all of
her wealth of of wisdom, power and
experience to be used of us to the
highest interests of the age that is,
and those which are to be.
Many a family moves from a
quiet rural home, where life is wont
to flow leisurely along in smooth
channels, and where their wants are
abundantly met and sustained by
natures liberal reward to the hands
of toll, where the nerves are not
taxed to the utmost, and where the
problems of life are simplest and
most easily solved With their view
and estimate of life, its expenditure
and cost of living, they move into
the city, where the hours do not
drag heavily, but are verify crowd
ed into the day, where every mo
ment is burdened with its cwn task,
where the foodgates of service are
lifted and life flows unrestrained in
broad channels. Because they have
not been used to such a strain and
to paying the enormous cost of liv-
at such a rate. they turn from the
deeper and swifter channels of life I
and refuse to bear the responsibility |
that such a life imposes, and they |
seek for themselves a Nirvana OF /

The North Changes its Mind.
Cuba On, Journal.

Anyone who has kept track of the
negro problem through the newspa-
pers the past few years, can notice a
marked change in the tone of them
since the race riots at Springfield
Where in former years the idea was
to blame all the troubles of the
black man to his former masters in
the South, it now seems to be the
popular scheme to saddle the negro
onto his former masters IN the old
slave States, believing that with a
knowledge of negro nature and their
experience in handling them, they
can bring out the best in the negro
character. This is certainly a start
ling change. and one that cannot
help setting both the North and the
South to thinking.
Ever since the war the North has
been trying to educate the negro
and bring him up to the white man 5
level, while at the South the idea
has been to teach the negro to work.
Now the results of the two systems
are beginning to show. The North
has o crop of lazy, insolent blacks
and half breeds on their hands, who
will live nowhere except in the cities
and towns and except in a few in
stances are good for practically moth
ing. The South has gone at it diff
ferently. There they have tried to
make farmers, mechanics and la
borers out of their colored popula
ton, and the result has been fairly
successful. Most of the farm labor
is done by negroes and many of
them are beginning to buy land and
in this they received every encour-
agement from the planters, who re-
alize that when a man, black or
white, becomes a land owner he
ceases to be a wanderer and conse-
quently a better citizen BY far the
larger number of firemen, brake
men and switchmen on the South
ern railroads are negroes who do
their work about as good as the
whites who work with them. Then
there are lots of negro blacksmiths, I
carpenters, stonemasons, hricklay-
ers, plasterers, etc, at the South, /
but you never heard of one at the /
North. Now, after trying patiently |
for years to make doctors, lawyers, /
teachers, preachers and gentlemen /
of leisure out of their part of the
colored population, the North is
ready to lay down his task to lay
down its task to old ex-slaveholders
of the South, who are now willing
to admit know something about
handling the negro problem.
The old idea that the negro as a
race is mistreated at the South is all
a mistake and originated largely in
the minds of few New England
cranks who have nothing TO do ex-
cept to keep alive some agitation. A
good negro who will work. receives
