THE WISEST COURSE.

There is sure to be much disap-
pointment on account of the post
pOneneut Of the settlement Of the
Brownsville affair, but no one, who
has read the signs Of the times
Alright, was very much surprised
There was no possibility Of Mr..
Foraker's bill passing at this session.
TO have forced 1t to vote would
have resulted in it's defeat, the en-
barrassment Of the administration
and the retirement to private life of
certain Of our law makers. The
black battalion would have been no
nearer reinstatement, and no one
would have been benefited. That
being the case, there can be no
doubt of the wisdom of the course
pursued by Mr.. Foraker, whose OBJ
ject is to restore to the soldiers the
rights Of which they we're unjustly
deprived. A drawn battle is always
preferable to defeat.

ALTERNATES.

Under the caption above, the Pho
neer Press takes us to task for the
few scattering remarks" accompa-
MED by half tones, which appeared
in the April 30th issue Of this paper.
The Press avs we made mistake by
applauding our race alternates and
classes their selection as kitchen pol
itics.
Continuing, the Press says:
"Why not unite and get our share
OF not only the honor, but the re-
wards that go with labor and party
devotion? 1t can be done, but never
by the alternate plan. They are all
oura friends, but want to build for the
good Of those to follow in their
lead"
That's exactly what the Advocate
has been urging since its existence
1T went SO far as to propose a gentle
men for delegate at large, but the
applause, with which the proposition
was greeted, was not so great as to
burst any tympanums so far as We
nave been able to learn. True, the
Pioneer seconded the motion hearth
ly, but it was lone voice crying in
the wilderness. The other race pa
pers said not word and our lead
ers' lost their power of speech.
The position Of the Advocate was
anything but cnviable. To have con-
tlnued the game, which it proposed
with only two "sitting in" was con-
trary to HOyle. If the other fellows
would not play in our back yards, we
were not too selfish to play in theirs,
and, on the theory that a half loaf
is better than no bread at all, we led
in the loud acclaim for the colored
alterhateS. We would gladly swap
the bunch for a full-ncdgod delegate,
but what doth it profit a man to gcr
In crouch?

TO DANCE OR NOT TO DANCE.

The bishops OF, the Methodist Epis
copal church, In session at Baltimore
rccomm ended the excelsior OF dane
ing, card parties and certain other
words from the church discipline re-
lating to amusements. The commit
tee en- state OF the church has decid
ed to recommend that the paragraph
on amusements remain as it now
stands.
The conference may or It may not
decide to support the committee, but
there Is no question that the young
or members OF the church. encoUr-
aged by an ever-increasing vote at
the general conferences, is determine
ed to dance aud engage in other
amusements tabOocd by church dis
cipline. 1t is the opinion OF many
members OF the denomination, who
wander no further from the straight
and narrow path than their oppo-
nents, that dancing and similar
amusements are not only not repug-
Galilee, but that their prohibition is
making hypocrites OF many who
would otherwise be consistent
Christians"
The question to be decided is
whether we are to be governed in
the choice of our amusements by the
decision Of human, not divine, be-
ings, who reflected the sentiment of
an age when men blindly followed
the cassock or the cowl AS educa-
ton spreads it becomes more diff
cult to make men obey a Thou shalt
not, uttered by any gathering OF
his peers, unless its infringement in
terferes with the rights of another.
Expulsion from the church and
threats of future punishment, like
accommodation and inquisitions
are futile. Enlightenment will not
confine itself to the arts and scien-
ceS.
