Tho people aro Bcnornlly prosperous,

that ovory pooil colored mnn, womnn

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.

WHO SINNED?
A Now .lorsoy nnarcblst asserts
that throe of his follows hnvo com
mitted suicide rather then kill Ilooqp
ult. 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

and sugar-growing Btntos Just bh

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

This Is prnctlcnlly tho samo nrjni

months ago, and repeatedly, but this
pnpor wns pleased to bo thus rein

Out of tho wlldornoss, out of tho

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.

NEOUOES' VOTES.
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. Rail as ho may
against tho "Lily Whites' nnd thero
is n certain loglo In his railing he
ennnot affect tho case as It now
utands. Ho Is a victim of circum
stances very far beyond his power to
control,
nut whnt will tho Negro do In the
stntos whero ho Is pormitted to voH
and whoro his voto U counted? In

For conturlcfl fettered nnd bound
earth.
Slow his unfolding to freedom's
birth
Slow his rising from burden nml
ban
To fill tho stntuo of mortal man.
You must glvo him wings oro you
tell him fly
You must sot tho oxamplo and bid
him try,
Lot tho whlto man pny for tho whlto
.mnn's crime
Lot him work In pntlonco nnd bldo
God's tlmo.
Out
of tho wilderness, out of tho
night.
Has tho black man crawled to tho
duwn of light;
Ho hns como through tho valley of
great despair
Ho had borno what no whlto man ovor
can bear
Ho has como through sorrow and
pnln and woo,
And tho cry of his heart Is to know,
to know!

the Italian Is cognizant of' the fact, al
though tho valuo Is small Ho gathers
cinders, wood, rugs, bottles, paper! rub

nil of which bnve been thrown away by

and disposing of them, forming In n
small way a trust or co-operative Industry.

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

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
