that will result In a world Of good TO the young
colored men.
The race has many clubs, fraternal organizations
and church societies, but there seems to be none
mat occupy the place that Young Mems Chris
tian Association would fill Such associations
have field of their own, They are becoming
most powerful influences In leading young men
IN the proper path. They have taken hold of the
young sien In effective way, They have made
combination of club life, which seems SO at
traetive in these days they have encouraged ath-
letics; they have offered opportunities for in
struction and self improvement, and they have
done all this without surrounding their efforts
with an air OF cant or kind of religious atmos-
phere that repels many young men. They have
produced muscular voting Christians, or at least
young men not outside of Christian influences
They have given to many a young man
different idea of life.
Not many years ago il was customary 20
divide the young men into the ranks Of the
sanctimonious and the others in various degrees
The young fellow with desire to sow his wild
oats thought he was doing great thing, that
he was being a man." that he was Smart"
a good spender" and all that sort of thing
In later years when he knew more of the
world he realized his folly. Along with the
development of the Young Mems Christian
Association and the part that active young
fellows of religious turn of mind took in
athletic sports, came different view. The type
OF young man, not too good or not too bad, has
come to be the popular one. The Young Mems
Christian Association has developed this type
of young man--fne manly fellows
If there has been need Of such associations
among the whites much more is the need among
the negroes Such associations, led by such
practical coored men as those who are concerned
in this local movement can do good almost be-
yond measure They should be encouraged and
supported in every possible manner
Rich philanthropists have been giving mints Of
money to aid in the improvement Of the negro
race, but il seems to us that if they should turn
some of it into channels such as the proposed
Young Mems Christian Association for coloIed
men in this city, they would be helping one OF the
most worthy projects that has yet been thought
of for the uplifting of the colored people.

The fund for the silver service of the Batteship
Delaware is increasing right along, but not SO
fast some Of those interested would like.
There is no doubt, however, that Delaware will
raise the money necessary for the handsome gift,
which will reflect great credit on the state In
deed all things considered, no state will have
better record in making presentations to battle
Ships than Delaware. There is considerable
money to be raised and the people in all parts OF
the state should help in securing the sum for

Y. M. c. A. FoR coLoRED MEN.

g ONE prominent coored men have started a
- movement for the erection OF a Young Mems
Christian Association in this city for their race
Several meetings have been held. Thirty-two
members joined at a recent meeting and a con-
siderable sum was received for dues The Col
ored Mems Business League is actively engaged
in helping the cause. 1t seems that there has
been an association, but that it has not made
much progress, and IT is proposed to reorganize
or form new one on different basis
In every way this effort on the part of the
colored people is worthy OF encouragement. The
need OF an association is realized by the local
leaders OF the race and we have no doubt that they
will be able to arouse interesAsufcient to get the
funds necessary to establish a active association

GOOD ROADS IN KENT.

n N any comment that may make on the
i road question as it concerns Kent or Sussex
county, il is certainly not with the idea OF show
ing that New Castle county has done so much
better than has either of the other counties or OF
drawing unfavorabc comparisons between the
counties No one who knows anything about
Delaware would for a moment suppose that
either Kent or Sussex county could spend as
much money or anything like much as New
Castle has DONE and it would be folly for either
OF those counties to make such an effort.
We arc led to these remarks by an article IN
the Dover Index pointing out the difficulties thar
confront the people of Kent when they consider
the problem OF good roads If we can at any time
stir our newspaper friends tp discussion OF
good roads whether they agree with MS or not
we shall feel that>our isbors have not been
wasted. -
we should certainly not advise Kent to engage
IN indiscrminate work for good roads We
should not advise them for instance TO
spend large sum for a good road in remote
part of the county as has been done or Will be
done i'm this county. We have IN mind inc
Rlackbird hundred good road. Instead of inn
proving the state road just above Duck Greek
road that is used by most people OF BlackDifa
hundred in going TO town, a good road has peen
built in a remote part of the district at very
heavy expense.
The question that occurs to us is whether
Kent could not little by little improve the state
verv important matter In all the efforts at
good road building the makers Of good roads do
not seem TO have solved to general satisfaction
the problem Of making road not so expensive
as macadam and yet durable and vast improve
ment over ordinary roads
Jersey has some gravel roads that arc not so
expensive as macadam, but which are all that
could be desired
The road improvement talk in Kent calls to
mind the improvement in the streets of Dover.
There has been considerable opposition IN the
capital to the street improvement that has been
going on there because of the expense. Yet we
were told the other day by one of the leading
merchants of Dover that he expected such bene-
fit from the street improvement that he would
gladly paw double the amount of what this inn
provenent would cost him in the increase OF his
taxes.
lust how the tax payers of Kent would view
an increase of taxes is question Probably
they would not all take the view as regards good
roads that this merchant has taken with respect
to Dover streets. But we believe that an ordi-
nary sum iudicously spent for good roads would
not be objected TO by the tax payers. Property
owners DO not oppose higher taxes if they see
the value of their money returned IN improve
ments and not eaten up by graft or the personal
expenses OF making such Improvements.

The potato bug seems to have firm hold on
some folks. The local potato newspaper is still
trouncing Colonel dupont for having the duty
increased on potatoes as it believes was done

TO pay more for their potatoes because of the
predicted increase Of price that it thinks will
come through Colonel duPont's efforts AS a
matter of fact the dupont duty was not en-
bodied in the tariff bill as it came from the con-

mains the same. The potato mad paper didn't
