TUSKEGEE'S OPPORTUNITY.

The meeting of the Armstrong Association,
which is to be held in Carnegie Hall on Friday
evening in the interest of Tuskegee Institute,
comes at an opportune time. The work which
Booker T. Washington is doing at Tuskegee
and the work which is being done by Hamp-
ton Institute the pioneer in industrial educa
tion of the negro under the direction of Dr. II.
B. Frissell, have often been brought to the at
tention of Northern people. These institutions
are to-day in a strategic position, and there is
probably larger opportunity for the applica
ton in the South of the principles which they
stand for than there has ever been before.
A few years ago the South swept by
a wave of truculent race prejudice which
threatened TO deny to the negro not merely po-
litcal equality. but the right even to make him
self prosperous citizen. The Vardamans were
bent not only on depriving him of higher educa
ton but even on shutting the door to his in
dustrial advance and relegating him perma
nenty and indiscrmnatey to the most menial
labor Some visionaries even dreamed of elm
mating him entirely from Southern civilization
and looking TO foreign immigration to supply
the necessary labor for the South's industrial
progress. The craze seems largely to have sub
sided. 1t is becoming more and more possible
for an intelligent and industrious negro to make
his character count 1t is more and more real
lied that the negro an industrial element is
not only inevitable but necessary in the South
and that Southern civilization a whole in
a considerable measure depends the civiza-
ton of the negro. Therefore more than ever be-
fore institutions like Tuskegee are in position
TO help both races.

THE SECRET OF SOME SENSATIONS.


Some mystiication has been felt and some
curiosity has been expressed by generally well
Informed persons in America concerning the
origin and motives of the periodical outbreaks IN
a part of the Partisan press over the relations
between America and Japan. At intervals .of
weeks or months those papers have suddenly
blazed forth with rumors of impending war,
with no apparent cause for doing so. They
have q reputation for intelligence and general
sanity and are not supposed to be given inten-
tionally to making themselves ridiculous; !;
wherefore puzzled observers, assured of the en-
tire baS4lessness of their sensations, have
wonderngy asked What is their little game?"
We are inclined 10 think that the Paris cor
respondent of The London Times" gets close TO
the heart of the matter when he says in re-
cent dispatch:
Perhaps it might be well TO warn the Ameri-
can and japanese public against the sinister
forecasts current on the Continent as to the is
OF the difference between their two coun-
tries. In well Informed circles there is little ap-
prehension for the present. Perhaps there is all
the more disinclination to be scared by the bogey
of the yellow peril" as ii has been known for
a long time past that in certain quarters Ii is
sought 10 make the most OF IL and 70 frighten
Europe into some kind Of a hybrid coalition
against the supposed peril from the Far East.
The time. however, has passed when this
kind of diplomatic strategy had much effect In
France, at all events the public have of late
years taken more interest IN Iofelsn poHtlcS
and are less inclined to listen to the specious
guments Of certain foreign organs of the press
than they used to be. Had that been the
case, public opinion in this country would not
have been as unanimous as il is in favor of the
entente cOrdiGIe and its developments nor would
IL have shown itself as reluctant it has done
to join the hue and cry against the yellow
peril"
That is a kind of diplomatic strategy which
is not altogether unknown in America and
which intelligent Americans are capable of aD-
preciating at its true worth

We learn not without grief, that Mexico is
likely to tax the sombrero out of existence
The Legislature of the State of Jalisco has de-
clared it nuisance and has decreed that the
Mexican who wears it must have license for
which he must pay, and must wear a num-
bered tag upon il. without the license and the
tag the wearer is subject to arrest and fine
The object of the law Is to cure the poems taste
for the picturesque headgear which. corded
with gold and silver and six feet or more across
the brim is so expensive that the humble Mexi-
can often works a whole year to earn the price

ion that the peon might easily spend years
wages better than of these gorgeous
hats The traveller, however, will have his
doubts about this, and will hope that the peon
will stick to his picturesque hat paying his tax
like a man and wearing his numbered tag like

Hatcher dying at o'clock Friday
night about two hours after the fight.
Cover came out of the trouble with
an ugly scalp wound from knife, the
physicians at the asylum taking three
stitches In tire wound. From all that
can be learned of the tragedy it seems
that the dead man brought the whole
trouble upon himself
The lanterns that are used in that
part Of the asylum have been kept in
Hatcher's room. About 6 O'Clock Fri
day night Cover went to- the room to
get the lanterns to prepare them for
use as 1T grew dark. without any
apparent provocation, it is said that
Hatcher began to curse and abuse him,
driving him from the, room without
allowing him to get the lanterns
Cover beat retreat toward his own
room, with Hatcher following him. IL
IS said that Hatcher continued his
,ursing and drew his knife.
