WOULD PLAY THE RAILROADS ' GAME.
HERBERT QUICK, editor of "Farm anil Fireside," in a copyrighted edi
torial discusses the rannina ennui and the system of tolls adopted. Wo
have perused his editorial, and havo wondered, why ho had it copyright
ed, for no one is liable to "swipe It," unless ha took It for a bit of Bar
, caHtic humor. Herbert objects to the system of flat rates and would
have tho tolls regulated tho saino as the railroads have so long regulated them,
by making them "all tho traffic will bear." Ilo, like most other managers
of "Farm Journals," is evidently on tho side of the railroads. Mont of them
give the farmers long-winded dissertations on protty much everything, and
then play the railroad's game. By this wo mean the big farm journals, such
as that published by Herbert Quick. Tho real "farm journals," the local coun
try weeklies are tho real representatives of tho farmers and these weeklies are
tho farmers' true friends. They may bo mistaken sometimes, for that is an at
tribute of humanity common to all of as, but they play fair and work honestly
and conscientiously for the fanners ' best interests. They do not play tho rail
road's game while posing as the farmers' friend, nor are they filled with sol
emn Bdvico to the farmor about taking tools in out of tho wot to proven t
them rusting; they are not dovoted to telling him to grcuso his plow before
putting it away, to informing him that hogs should havo shelter and that woeds
are the farmer's worst enemy. InBtend they give him Interesting news, homo
news, and keep him postod as to what Luther Uiirbanh is doing, crop yields In
his own vicinity and other matters that are of somo benefit to him. Tha big
"Farm Journals" are about as useful to tho general farmer as a dissertation
on differential hulculus or an onidito treatise on tho growing of artocarpus
with tho least waste lu tho way of crust.
IT MEANS FUTURE TROUBLE, NOT PEACE.
It i
A
C'OOItDINQ to Hooker T. Washington, who is thoroughly informed
upon the subjoct, the southern negroes nro progressing rapidly as
far as property holdings are concerned. In tho fifteon old Blave
states they own one-quarter of tho land, Throughout tho cotton
belt negro laborers are preferred to whites, anil Dr. Washington
believes that 200,0(10,000 acres of unimproved land will soon bo sold o colored
purchasers. All this is encouraging. It menus pcaco as well as prosperity for
the South." Oregonian.
This certainly speaks well for the Industry and progressiveness of the negro
but does It mean "peace and prosperity for tho South t" It does not look
that wny to us. Tho men prublom.jiist now Is not attracting a groat deal of
attention, and many think it Is settled. There never was a greater mistake.
The problem grows larger and more difficult every day. Two bodies cannot
occupy tho same spnee at the same tiino, mid as tho Caucasian And AfricBii
races do not and never will mix, for raco preservation Is against it, it will
finally come to tha "survival of tho fittest." Tho advancement tho negro
makes brings tho dny of final settlement just that much nearer, and makes
the problem that much more serious. Tho showing that the old slave states
have let one-fourth of their hinds go Into tho hand of their former slaves,
speaks well for the old timo slaves, and not very well for tho old masters.
When tho negroes own a majority of the lands and are in the majority in pow
illation, whiit will the result be! Tho negroes of the South nro held In subjec
tion now only by tho most drastic measures; what will happen when they get
so powerful that these measures can no longer be used f What will happen
when the Houlli Is controlled by tho negroes, as It certainly will bo somo limo?
We are not pessimistic, and wo can admire the negro for the wny he is,
against ad verso circumstances, winning his way to tho top. From tho broad
standpoint of hiunanity his development! something to rejoice over, From the
standpoint uf bu American clti.en, this may well be doubted.
TO TAKE UP UNPAID WARRANTS.
STATU TKKAStlHKIt KAY did a good piece of work for the stato recently
in persuading the liRiiks hero and In Portland to cash stato warrants
issued siid stumped "not paid for lack of funds," It seems tho statu
Is shy, or will be by next May lu round numbers about a million dollars
and as the banks can now loan their money at 8 por cent, they naturally
turned down stute warrants drawing 6 per cent. Mr. Kuy put tho matter up to
the bankers, mostly those who aro depositories for state funds, and Port land
banks agreed to take care of .'i(IO,00(l and tho Nilom banks of s 100,000. This
on tho face of it, would look like a sacrifice on tho part of the banks of two
per cent, but it Is not so bad as that, for there will be money available about
tho first of May when the first Installment of taxes falls due, and this will
shorten the time. Besides, as tho Indebtedness is created during the timo be
tween now and May first, the amount that will have to bo taken care of by
tho bankers will not exceed the whole sum of a milium for two or three months
so that the actual bus In Interest to the lieiika will bo (pml to about ono per
rout, Of perhaps less.

The principal occupation of many alleged statesmen and politicians just now
to prove to their own satisfaction just how the country stands politically,
Pome of them have figured out that the Kopiihlliiin party made greet gains at
tho last election, some that the Progressives made a "splendid showing," and
othiws that even Tammany has now purged Itself and will rise from itmashes,
or tomb, or whatever It has to rise from, purified and angelic, and repdy to
again become a great factor In the moral advancement of the human ace. The
fact is that there is a big silent veto tlmt neither they nor any ono else ran
tell anything about. It is a great thing for the country that this is so, for the
vote that can not be located Is the vote that cannot be euut rolled. Tho Amer
ican people recently are doing their own thinking, and a whole lot of it.
