A Queen May Look at a Man.


There is an old story long current
in his home city, Brooklyn, about the
late DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler, which
illustrates how son is to his mother
the most important being in the
world. In DR.. Cuylers case, one could
not justly question his ability and use
fulness. Besides being successful
pastor, he was the author of many
religious books which we're read here
and abroad, as we'll as frequent con-
tributor to certain magazines. .
When he was in England, he and
his mother corresponded regularly,
and at great length, SO the tradition
goes.
One day a letter came in which he
described his presentation to Queen
Victoria. Mrs. Cuyler read it with
eagerness, hardly able to wait till she
had finished before telling some one
what had happened. When she at last
got through the letter, she hastened
to a neighbor's house and announced: !:

and, do you know, the queen has seen

AN INFAMOUS LAW.

Scarcely day passes that does not
bring the news of some new disability
imposed upon the Afro-American by
the states of the South.
Governor Brown of Georgia recently
signed an act Of the legislature which
prohibits the use by Afro-American
secret organizations of the insignia,
ritualistic work, signs, etc., of secret
orders to which whites belong.
The law specially applies to the
Elks and Knights of Pythias, but it is
supposed that it will not affect the
Freemasons and Odd Fellows, as the
latter two societies stand upon a
somewhat different footing on ac-
count of their age and the circum-
stances of their origin. In the case
of the societies first mentioned, the
law seems bound to give rise to some
curious complications. Thus sup
pose that a man from New York,
wearing an Elks' pin, visits Georgia,
will he be liable to arrest?
Again, any white Freemason can
visit an Afro-American lodge of the
order and satisfy himself that there is
no bug under the chip, no conspiracy
against the whites, or any of the other
bug-a-boos which so alright the
Southern brother.
But no white man can visit an Afro
American secret lodge which has no
sister lodges among the whites. Then
what?
The white brother will take advan-
tage of the circumstance to proclaim
such lodge a nucleus for treason,
stratagem and spoils, as Tom Watson
has already done in the case of the
Freemasons.
The ridiculous gyrations of the
Southern Caucasian brother has al
ready made him the laughing stock of
the world, but his immense self-con-
.ceit renders him impervious to ridi-
cule as well as to common sense

ness and other bad qualities of the
Afro-American; in fact, outdoes Anan-
las in lying about him.
The scarcity of farm labor on the
plantations of the South is, in part,
due to causes which are very credit
able to the Afro-American as the fol-
lowing statement will show:
First. Thousands of Afro-Americans
are working upon farms Of their own,
and each of these farms indicates the
withdrawal of from three to five Ia
borers from the plantation, since
women and children are rated as
plantation hands, and in cotton pick
ing, very efficient hands,
Second. numbering, mining and
railroad work are drawing thousands
of hands from the plantations and
leave the old and feeble to till the
soil and get nothing for it.
Prosperity may be a drawback to
the former plantation hand, and so it
seems to be to some other people, for
instance, Mr.. Thaw and Count Boni,
and, and. and ad infinitum. The SINH
larity of the plantation hand in this
respect to the Pittsburg millionaire
and the New York 400 is so striking g
that it is very surprising that it has
escaped the notice of so acute an OBJ
server as the Post. We hope the Post
will soon get posted.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

Commenting on education in the
South, an exchange remarks:
''But it is coming to be more gen
orally recognized that the old scho-
lastic training is fitted for only the
few, either white or black, and more
practical methods are bound to pre-
vail in the future.'
We conceive the foregoing to be
based on an entire misconception of
the actual condition of things educa-
tional. The statistics of all the pub
lie schools Of the country show that
of the pupils who enter those schools,
about twenty per cent fall out every
year, so that if 100 pupils enter the
first year it will be a grand success
if the school can graduate six or eight
of them. That does not look as if we
were being overloaded with higher
education.
If the 'old scholastic training is fit
ted for only the few it certainly is
only the few who are getting it, if
the government statistics are reliable.
But, again, there is a great demand
for competent persons in almost every
department of business, which can
not be filled. Thousands aspire to
positions and and fail to secure them,
| because they have not had the ole
