ONE V1KW OF THE EXPOSITION
Washington Poat.
Tlo first international exposition
hdd in the United States was located
in Ph.Jnilelrhis.alniost literally on the
ecft roast. Fortho second exposition,
the Eastern people followed tho trnll of
their pioneer ancesto a and croseed the.
Allcghcnies to reach Chicago. Tho
third great fair is now to occur west of
the Mississippi, in which fact tnero is a
tlcepcr significance thnn has yet been
iealUeJ. Certainly It has not been for
elbly broorht to pubic attention,
Wi do not in:an to enipluulse, ol
course, that the transfer to 6t. Louis of
the scenes of exposition activity indl
1 cates tho westward trend o! event.
That goes without sayiug, being sit
uation apparent to th dullest mind.
What is far more important is that
tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition will
be an agency ol tremendous forco in
knitting together the American repub
lie. The nation will never divide into
the Inorth and the South. That at
tempted divieion was settled long since
by fire and blood. Tho qaeation whether
the United Stales will ever separate into
an Eastern and a Western republic
has. however, never bten settled. It Is
not a wild and foolish question for con
sideration. In tho great West there is
a rapidly increasing population which
knows not the East, which has no ties
to bind it to that section except memory
und tradition. Years ago the pioneers
returned to the East to see the old
homesteed and to visit the graves of
their parents. No such spirit actuates
the mind of the young Westerner nowa
days. Born iu the West, he is of the
West. He is proud to be known as a
pative eon ol California, for instance,
and to him all that Ilea East of the
Mistlesibpi River is a reeled book. Nor
is this difference confined to Western
peopli. Very few Easterners have
crottd the Mississippi, and a still small
er number have seen San Francisco.
Thousands of'Americans so to Europe
where scores travel to California. It is
acutlons fact, too, that the Eutern
newspapers print moro matter from
London or Parls.or qren Berlin or
Vienna, than tbey give space the affaire
West of the Rocky Mountains in oar
own country. If these conditiots should,
in course of timt, grow more acute it is
not hard to believe that a separation of
tho East from the West might he sug
gested and in that event the natural line
ol cleavage would be the Mississippi
It.ver, which naturally end geographic
ally divldei the great American domain.
. It is a goo 1 thlDif, therefore, that th!e
Loulsana Purchase Exposition, with all
its beautiful architecture magtilJlcent
display, is td be held on the western
'banks ol tho Mississippi. It will be
aaguet to attracl bnudrediof thousands
of people to see that mighty aUeau for

RAILROAD SURVEYORS

The surveyors wcrklng on tlfo railroad

Tho rottto being followed by the survoy
croisei oa to Wilson crrck about fivo
miles Irnm tho coast and follows down

to be heavy unless tunneling Is resorted
to. Down AYiltori creek and oh' to tht

PASTIME
tOrlelnaU
We will call the general X., nnd his
aid, to whom he wns very much at'
tached, we will call Hoyt. The younger
had a devil mny care way with him
and the, impudence of Satan. It was
one of Iloyt's duties to take charge of
the general' private pune, nnd any
moneys received or expended went
through the young ald-dc-camp's hands.
One nlgut the general left his tent
without nn attendant to go the "grand
rounds." It was long after "taps," and
lights were out In tho tents of the men
and there were few In hose of the ofll
ccr. When tho general was returning
from Ills tour he noticed a light In one
of the tents occupied by his staff nnd
heard a voice say, "liaise you twenty."
It wns evident that there wos a party
within ploying poker. The general
sang out. "Grand rounds!" and imrac
dlatcly appeared at the tent flap. In
side sat Hoyt. with three other mora,
bers of the staff, gambling with dollar
bill greenbacks In lieu of chips.
All rose, standing respectfully, wait
lng the expected rebuke.
"Lieutenant Hoyt," said the general,
"you will report for duty to tlio colonel
of your regiment"
This being reduced from tho position
of an ald-de-camp to be second lieu
tenant In the lino was a greater change
than to be reduced from second lieu-
tenant In the lino to the ranks. Hoyt
would no longer be on terms of equal
ity with men far above him In-rank, he
would no longer know of doings nt
headquarters that generals would bo
glad to know. Instead of being mount
ed he would trudge along with the oth
ers a mere unit In an army. Neverthe
less he accepted his fate without a
murmur and In the morning reported
to his colonel for duty.
Hoyt's place was supplied by Lieu
tenant Eben Dayllas, who also succeed
ed to the general's private exchequer.
Iinyllas was considered an extremely
moral ypung man and soon won the
general's entire confidence. Ho was
never known to yield to the practice so
common among, the officers of the
Union army playing poker with green
backsand attended all religious serv
ices. Boon after hfs appointment as
tho general's confidential aid a pay
master came along with furids, nnd the
general directed Bayllss to make out
his pay accounts and present them to
him for signature. This was dono and
the money, paid to Ilayllsa.
It was at this tlmo that tho Confed
erates, Just before daylight one morn
ing, swooped down on the troops of
General X., and there was n desperate.
right, in which tho 'headquarters bag'
gage was captured by the euomy. Aft
cr comparative quiet was restored Bay-
Uss went to the genoral with a lugu
brious countenance and reported that
the money, some fSOO, which had come
from the paymaster had gono to tho
Impecunious Johnnies. General X.
begged his aid not to distress himself,
since such were the fortunes of war.
Nevertheless the general was placed in
financial difficulties' br tho loss,
, Te-first official paper that caught
General X.'s a t ten Ufa n after the right

teneml heard of It ho ordered his hotso

was mounting his chief of staff np
preached him with n very serious look
and a paper.
"General," said tho olllcer, "I hnvo

Bayltss for conduct unbecoming nn of
ficer nnd a 'gentleman, the specifica
tions being approprlntnig money and
reporting thnt It had boon cuptured,

HOW TO SETTLE THE
NEGRO QUESTION
By COOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal Tuskcgcc
Normal and Industrial Institute
"EZr&TTJiiffiJL
F THE NATION WANTS PROOF OF THE NEED OP
SUCH INSTITUTIONS AS TU8KECEE INSTITUTE, IT
IS IN THE BARE 8TATEMENT OF THE FACT THAT I
THERE ARE MORE IGNORANT BLACK CHILDREN
IN THE SOUTH TODAY THAN IN 1870.
Tho real and vital problem before- tbifl country
in
reference
to my rnco is not
1 t r -i

ties of citizoiiship prcsuppoflcu bv the ftindnnicntul Juwri. Jllh SO
LUTION OF TIUS QUESTION IS NOT IN THE Alll'SE
OF TIU3 SOUTH BY the north, hot. IN THE AHrSE
OF THE NORTH BY THE SOUTH, NOT IN CONDEMN
ING THE NEGRO NOR IN THE NEGRO CURSING THE
WHITE MAN, NOT IN COLONIZATION, NOT IN EX
PATRIATION, NOT IN AMALGAMATION OR EXTER
MINATION, BUT IT IS IN HONEST, SYMPATHETIC CO
OPERATION BETWEEN THE RACES AND BETWEEN
THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
It ( If " 't'
In tills connection may I add thnt thero have been few greater
opportunities in tlio history of tlio world for groat Btntcanica and
philanthropists to do something thut should redeem nearly n third
of our country and lift up tho ignorant of both races than is pre
sented by conditions now existing at tho South?
THE NEGRO, UNLIKE THE INDIAN, THE ORIGINAL MEXICAN
OR THE HAWAIIAN, 80 FAR FROM DYING OUT WHEN IN CON
,TACT WITH A DIFFERENT OR STRONGER RACE, HA8 CONTINUED
TO INCREASE IN NUMBERS AND INFLUENCE.
1W0 eeem to bo tlio only raco that is ablo to look tho whito man

So, then, I want to emphasizo tlio truth that whether wo nro
of northern or soUthora birth, whether wo aro with or without sym
pathy for tho negro, whither wo aro block or white, wo must faco
tho hard, stubborn fact, that whether in 'bondage or in freedom,
whether in ignoranco or Intolligonco, In spito of nil predictions
and scientific' conclusions , to tho contrary, THE NEGRO HAS
CONTINUED .YEAR ,BY 'YEAR TO INCREASE IN NUM.
