It Is n great countrv, n grent world; wo don't know vry much about It: but every holldny ought to make bettor men. women nnc children of us all. Bomo states ho musters pretty strong on election day. His vote Is solicited by both sides. Where he exerts him , ijelf ho In n factor In tho equation. Ho should remember this, and keep closo wntch of his opportunities, as well na of his rights and not sell himself for a "song." The elections for tho year nro over, but others arc coming, nnd tho col. orcd voters should In tho mcnntlmo carefully study tho situation, locally nnd generally. Tho other day a Negro wns soon preaching In the street, nnd ho H1 not go through the roromony of tak Ing up a collection. Noxt day bo wo 3 washing n store fiont, for which hr was to receive tho sum of 2H con's If that man Is turned uvny from tho penrly entrnnco, 8t.

This slgnnl service rendered to his country by tho present executive entitles him to a re-election by nccln nintlon. Tho mnn who clnlms to liavo dis covered tho location of Heaven, pnj-3 a high compliment to Oregon by -e-runlnlng here. Tho Oregonlnn a few weeks ago, commenting on a contribution to thnt pnper, snld thnt tho meanest slur of the article written ny a "nogroph oblst" was tho stntement thnt until tho Negro wns free nnd obtained n "petty education" be wns not guilty of deeds of criminal lust, etc. "This." tho Oregonlnn went on to sny, "Is nb Hurd. It Is not tho 'petty eduentlon' conforred upon tho Negro thnt hn.i multiplied this elnss of crlmlnnls, nor Is tho Norm of socnlleil 'pettv edu cation' chiefly distinguished for tho commission of such outrages. Tho Negro Is nt somo dlsndvnntngo, and ia honest men wo ought to romombor that wo nro responsible for It. Tho Southern Negro of today cannot but rnrry somo moral taint In his blood of tho dogrncllng, brutalizing school of litunrm slnvory. For moro thnn 200 yenrs tho ancestors of then 8outhern Nogroes were oducnted to nnlmnllsm by their very environment; there wnB no snnctlty of mnrrlago en forced, or respected. The gront fltntcs of Virginia and Kentucky tired slaves or tho cotton-pleklng and sugar-growing Btntos Just bh tho gront cnttlo stateB breed cnttlo for tho Chlcngo market. Un der theso conditions nlnvo-hrcedlng cultivated tho nnlmnl passions of tho Negro, who by tho law of hereditary transmission of mornl defects wouU bo likely In his Ignorant, Imbruted condition to become a erenturo of tui hulcnt lust. For moro thnn 200 yen-B nlavory e.lucated tho Negro Into a contompt for contlnuanco and encour ngod lit m to unrestricted Indulgence. Olven hIx gonorntlons or moro of Bitch Hlnvo fnthera nnd mothers, whnt losa terrlhlo reBult could bo oxpoctcd thnn n rnco In which lust raged In tho blond by tho tlmo emancipation "wns suddenly effected? Nobody nsl:s clomency for Negro miscreants, but blnco wo of tho North and South no Burned tho responsibility of educating n wholo rnco of mon and womon, fath er, mother, to a llfo whoro tho only nmrrlngoB woro cnttlo marriages, wo nt loadt owo theso Southern Nogroes wo doomed to tho trnlulug of brutes tindor slavery tho rudlmentnry trnln Ing nnd education to bettor things that tho lowest whlto mnn oxpects and receives from tho Btnto. Tho lenBt wo enn do In roparntlon for the dogrndlng education we gnvo tholr nlnvo fnthera and mothers and moro remote ancestors Is to glvo tholr taint ed and corrupted children tho slmulo fundamontnl Industrial eduentlon that Hooker Washington and Council ad vocato and admlntstor. Wo havo no business to ascribe to recent 'potty ed ucation' theso monster children thnt Binvwned by slnvory aro sometimes ac cused of crimes slave-born and slave- bred." This Is prnctlcnlly tho samo nrjni niont advanced by Tho Now Ago months ago, and repeatedly, but this pnpor wns pleased to bo thus rein forced by tho poworful Orogonlnn. Onco this country wns stnrved to the skln-nnd-skeloton Btnto; now It id eo well-fed thnt It Is apoplectic. If you don't feel vory well today Its your own fault "Don't If?" The following from tho nnn of KPa Wheeler Wilcox In tho Now York .Toiirnnl deserves a place In tho scrap book of ovory Afro-Amorlcnn. Tim m,ACK man's claim.

In vain dc you say, "W,b gavo what ho asked for placo and pny And right of franchlBo." All wrong, nil wrong! Ho wns but a child to bo led nlong ny tno nnnd of lovo. Hns ho folt Its touch? Nny!

SULTAN AND HIS HOME LIFE. Fear Aasnssluntloa by I'olaon nnd by the Knife. One of the most striking Illustrations of this phenomenon of a light veueer of Western hnblt overluylng a coie of things totally Oriental Is the perautinl life of Abdul Hamld. Tireless as Ills activity Is, nnd careful ns be Is of each moment of time, very little of his ener gy Is directed toward national affairs, and public business Is no where more delayed and neglected limn under this busy ruler. Tlio elaborate ceremony of pi coali tion with which bis munis are prepared engages the attentluu of the highest and most tiusted of bis otllelnls. The cooking Is done In a separate and strongly guarded cbn tuber, and the chef does everything buiientb the eye of the Sultan's confidential servant. A solemn procession conveys the food and water to the snlle a manger, the earafo being sealed and tho dishes cov ered with cloths which are also scnled upon them. These precautions against poison by no means satisfy the Sultan. At nny moment he may commnnd the ofllclal who overlooks tho cookery to tasto u dish, and a number of pet ani mals nro kept to which the first morsels aro given by the royal hand. In tho tasto for tobacco, on tho other hand, he practices no moderation; this Is a craving stronger than any tasto for food, and the cigarette that Is between bis lips from morning till night can do little to Improve a nervous system al ready shattered by anxieties. In the matter of liquor the Sultan Is no strict Mussulman, and pleads his health as an excuse for the Indulgence In nu oc casional glass of champagne. The pitiable state of bis nerves makes tho night a recurring terror to him. Ho fours darkness like n child, and tho wholo of tho apartments occupied by him, with tho surrounding gardens, are brilliantly lit up from the moment the light fulls. Silence, too, Is terrible to him, nnd be can only sleep with the noise of his guard tramping before tho palace In his ears. From his Bleep he will start up to summon nn Interpreter for a dream, or to go out and sweep tho horizon with strong glasses'. Usu ally he Is sent with dlllleulty to sleep by the reading aloud of his brother or a favorite servant. Noxt to the reports of his spies, the lltcrcturo thnt appeals most strongly to his tasto Is that of tho sensational novel, nnd tho more horror there Is to stimulate a morbid tnsto tho better Is he pleased. It Is character istic of him that the only sport In which he excels Is rifle nnd pistol prac tice; nt this ho could show the way to most men. London News. TODWAKIl HALL.

In tho lower southern Mates, is every wolMnformed mnn knows, tho Negro Is ontlrely out of It politically, Ho Is absolutely powerless. Ho may protest with all his might against the Injustlco of tho democrats and tho Ingrntltudo of tho republicans, but his protest Is In vain, Tho one side hart linrred him from tho polls nml tho othor sldo from tho pollt'cal conven tions, nnd there ho Is.

Sometimes two or more fam ilies unite In making their collections and disposing of them, forming In n small way a trust or co-operative Industry. The coal nnd wood they utilize for fuel In tholr homes, and turn tho other products of tbelr labor Into money lu the following way: Tho old shoes and rubbers nrc sold to a shoemaker, usually another Itnllnn, nnd bring from 5 to 25 cents a pnlr, the prices varying according to their con dition. Tho shoemaker repairs them mid disposes of them again us second baud. Tho rags nnd paper nro sold to tho wholesale Junk denier, and usually bring about 0 cents a hundred weight for old pnper and nnywhero from 10 to 80 cents a hundred weight for rags. Tho bottles are washed and disposed of through tho snmo agency. The price of bottles fluctuates, nu average being $1 n hundred; but tho Italian seldom sells on u "bear" market The bones aro sold to the fertilizer factories, ?2 a ton b&lng paid. Tho tin cans aro sold to foundries, where tho solder and tin nro melted off nnd tho Iron sheets are melted up and sash weights made from them. Old tomato cans nnd fruit enns bring &l a ton, and It takes moro thnn -1,000 of theso cans to make n ton.
