One Yrnr, .H3.no Established UM. Published at 2H Stark Bt. Tlilril Floor. THE TUUTII KKOM THK SOUTH Southern institutions fortho proper education of the Ncf;ro uro perform ing u survico for tho country that, is hut scantily realized except hy those who are personally interested in the work of relieving our people ol the unjust hurdeiis which aie forced upon the colored population helow the Mason and Dixon line hy the uureus onahlo prejudice of the embittered Southern copperhead whoso life, through some unsolved mystery, is yet spared by I'rovidonco as a burning lagot in the embers that were loft by the flame of patriotism when it swept away the barbarous institutions of slavery. Tho journey through tho North and tho West by J)r. II. H. l-'rissoll, tho colored educator and principal of the Hampton institute, in tho interest of that great college, established a third of a century ago especially for tho education of the race, promises to hear good fruit. Out ot a total an nual expenditure of $125,000 by tho Hampton Institute, $80,000 must ho gathered by public subscript ions or otherwise outside of the regular in come oMhe school, which has now considerably over a thousand students on its register of attendance. It is for the purpose of helping to raise this additional fund that Dr. Krissell is no iv on his lecture Uur throughout the North and West. Ho says that comparatively little or nothing is known by the people of the North con cerning tho work that is being done by Hampton Institute and similar places in tho South and that vory few realize the immense value of such riohools in solving in a quiet and business-like manner the greatest prob lem that has ever confronted any civ ilized nation. Two students of tho iusteituto accompany the principal on his tour one a colored man and the other an Arizona Indian. They tell from the lecture platform the story of their lives and tho change that has been wrought in them by the work of the Hampton Institute. Hampton has alieady turned out fi,700 graduate teaoheis, all eoloied, who have gono among their people and in many instances have estab lished schools founded on the princi ples of Hampton College. It was theio that Hooker T. Washington, the gieatest educator of his race in the world today, graduated, and Tuske gee had its origin in the system that Is taught at Hampton. Dr. Kriscell's tour is itself educa tional in eharaeer. lie tells of the conditions in the South, what pro duces them and how they may be lemedled. It has been found, for in stance, that in the state of Virginia, there has been an increase in the last six years of one-third in the laud holdings of tho colored people, who now own ulxuit one-fourth of the laud, and that in the same period crime has deorcaxed until now it t practi cally nil. Wherever -the Hampton educational methods have been adopted in large colored centers of population there has been found in variably a rapid decrease of crime Dr. Prissell is enlightening the North conerning the adverse condi tions under which tho Southern Negro has to struggle constantly in order to obtain the advantage of proper mhool training. He is tell ing eloquently what tho newspapers and the Associated Press leporters of the South do not toll The truth. JUDGE It. 8. HE AN. n Tho prohnblo candidacy of Judge K. S. I lean for re-election to the supreme Inineh ot the state has elioted much favorable comment from tho press of the state. Judge Mean is now serving his sec ond term as a member of the highest triubnal in tho state judiciary, His service has, with remarkable uniform- it'yj' iMtn hilt 'ohih'tablu' jurist tuurtuv impartial judge. He pursues his I official work with untiring zeal, at tending to every detail with unquali fied earnestness.. Ho is a profound student of law and of tho new condi tions under which it is necessary to apply it. He is n lawyer of tho high est degree of integrity, a man of un assailable character and of sterling personal worth. Tho great valuo of his eerivco to tho state during the past twelve years is tho chief recom mendation for his re-election. Another feature of tho discussion of Judge IJein's popularity as a jurist and a citizen is found in the general demand that the election of the mem bers of the supremo court shall be taken entirely "out of politics;" that is, that tho contests between candi dates for place on tho supreme bench shall not he conducted on party lines, thus eliminating a disturbing and cor rupting element" from such conten tious, This is an excellent sugges tion and should be applied to the en tire judiciary of the state. IN URAL ESTATE MATTERS. Activity in real estate circles is in creasing in a very substantial way. The present upward movement docs not partake of tho nature of the boom, in the ordinary sense of tho term. It is legitimate, the results are actual and the demand comes from thn,so who desiie properties for immediato improvement and occupancy. Tho buyers are not speculators, as a rule; on the other hand, they are mainly home builders. 1 Many of them have recently located in this city. The attractive Hawthorne ostate, on the East Hide, has become tho scene of vast improvements. General Agent It. L. Cate inputting that ex tensive property in excellent condi tion. On poitious of it are boiug erected some of the most palatial icsidences jind most modem and handsome cottages in the city. Messrs. QriudstatV k Bluin, whose extensive list contains some of the finest properties now on the market uro doing a most excellent business. Money is more abundant than com monly and sales are more readily con sumated on choice tracts. Husincss on first-class inside property is more active than in tho suburban districts, although there is quite a movement in small tracts of outside acreage. Altogether, tho situation hems the appearance of a strong upward ten dency in the realty market on proper ty Immediately available for practical use. It is this feature of the market that gives substantial tone of the promise of a more than usually active business from now on. lloth buyer and seller are confident. Progress in building matteis on tho part of both, the latter to sell on easy tonus and the former to occupy either personal ly or by agent, was never more en couraging Many hundreds of dwell ings, better than the average, are now in process of erection, notwithstaud ing the rains of the winter beacon. Hon. Henry Meldrum, surveyor general of Oregon, who assumed olllce a few mouths ago, has finally succeeded in bringing oider out of chaos and putting tho records of his olllce in clean, intelligible and up-to- date condition. Mr. Meldrum, who is a very practical man in all things, has already shown unusual fitness for the prompt and proper dicohargo of his official work, His constant pursuit of tho work of civil engineer in this state for a period covering many years, his extensive knowledge of the public lauds within his official field and his insistence on applying modern system to work done in every department of his olllce justify the popular impression that Mr. Meldrum is one of the most elllcienc surveyors general that Oregon ever had. In deed, tho work so far accomplished in his olllce is superior in many re spects to that done by any of his pre decessors within so short a time after assuming tho duties of his olllce. Mr. George K, Streeter, a life long ltepublietm whoso party service has made him prominent in its councils, is being urged to accept tho nomina tion for 'county tieasurer. Mr. Streeter is a vory popular young man, socially, politically and in business circles, lie has done much for the success of mauy'aspirants in his party for public place, who now propose to rownnMitmforhls- Berviov in their behalf by making him custodian of tho treasure of the county. ' Mr. Strccter has succeeded most satisfac torily at his own business, an evidence that ho will mako a good, faithful, honorablo and capable public servant. Ho is a strong man, not only in his party, but throughout tho city and county among all classes. Ho is a man of great force of character, of positive convictions and of most geni al qualities. Attorney J. II. Eastor, a prominont young lawyer of tho East Side, is fre quently mentioned as a candidate for the nomination to succeed Justico of tho I'eaco Vreeland, East Portland district. 1 Mr. Eastcrjis unpopular at torney, an active Republican and a progressive citizen in every respect. Ho would bo a strong man for the place named. He is entorprising, ambitious and a man of unque.sti.oucd integrity. He is a thorough business man of most excellent judgment and extensive knowledgo of law. The ju dicial business of the East Portland district would ho in very 'capable hands if Attorney Easter wero chosen to occupy tho East Side bench. The proposition to create a now ju dicial district fn Eastern Oregon is regarded as the propor thing to en courage. Judge Ellis's distirct is too large. It embraces an empiro in ter ritory and shouldjio divided. THE CHAMPION MEAN MAM. H'Jiy III Ilnntniii Cock ICnally Whipped n HIk, Ktronir Itonatcr. "Tho meanest man I ever knowed," Bald a sport the other day, "was n chicken lighter. Now, I alu't saying nothing against chicken lighting, for I think It Is nil right, hut I mean to say thnt this mail wasn't n straight chicken fighter. Anything went wltn him. All ho wanted to do was to win. I Imvo kuowed him to have a rooster thnt ho couldn't get no light with, hecnuso tho rooster would whip anything, nud I have kuowed hint to pnlnt thnt rooster blue so as to get'up a scrap. Well, tho worst thing he ever did I shall remem ber to my dying day. "Hill, thnt was his name, was with n lot ot us fellows one day, when we wore talking ahout the heavy-weight game cock that had been heating everything in the pit. 'Oh, that rooster nlu't so wnrm,' said 11111, In a careless fashion; Tvo got n little game hnntam that will kill him In the first round.' This, inndo tho sport who owned the chicken jjad. He nud Hill got to gassing nud passing gngs until they ninth? tip n light. The sport, ho wild, he would bet $500, hut Hill he Haiti that ?.'W) was too sinnll, mid thut he wouldn't go In for nothing less than $1,000. "They fixed up tho scrap, nud ono Sunday n lot of us sports met behind an old stable. Well, sir, you oughter have heard them fellows laugh when they beed Hill's rooster. lie wns a stumpy little bantam, hardly high enough to touch the other rooster's chin comb unless he Jumped. We laugh ed and laughed, and guyed Hill, hut Hill, he didn't say nothing. He wns just holding his little bantam under tho btomnch ami rubbing him on the head. 'Who's holding the money V wus all thnt Hill snld. "Well, fair, I wasn't n member of tho society that tries to stop roosters from being killed, hut I did think It n sliamo to let that little roonter go up against the big fellow. Hill nnd tho rich sport first held the chickens together to let them peck nt each other ami get their spunk up, mid then they put them on the ground. The big rooster looked nt tho bantam n minute as If he would fall on him nud crush him to death. Hoth of tho birds wore those long gafts like needles. Well, sir, the big rooster made a pass nud missed, and then sud denly wo seed bantam dlgn left-hander In the big bird's wing. Nobody thought nothing of that, but when time was) called tho big rooster put his head down nnd Just keeled over. Hntitam stood up on his body and crowed. "Well, lllll took the money, but w got to thinking that It was mighty funny that n rooster could bo killed so eusy, so wo looked nt him, picked olt his feathers nnd fotmd he wns turning black. IJII1 had put n strong poison ou tho bniitam's gafts, so that tho least swlpo would menu a good-by. Wo tried to find Hill, hut ho had taken n trip for his health." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Thn lUtiliU'n Anecdote. One of the favorite stories out In the short grass country of Kansas right now Is that of the teacher who nsked her pupils what an anecdote was and, the answer being "a short fuuny tnle," told a small boy to write a sentence containing the word. He wrote: "A rabbit has four legs and one anecdote." Arthur D. Marshall, Real Estate and Mortgage Loans Farms and Timber lands Imwtnfttta mado and fromnriy trmttUd for non rouUontm.
