P\ A, For more than forty centuries the negro has heen the victim of oppres. slon and proscription. Whether In the jungles and deserts of Afriea, In the troples of Sonth Ameriea or In the more equable climate of the United States he has been a chattel to be bought and sold, a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, a vassal and a slave. Every right which humanity claims for its mem- bers has been denfed to him and the atrocities perpetrated upon him were defended on the ground that he was from birth forcordained to be a serf and bondman forever, Even in our own country, in lightened age and within the of the present generation, the negro was told from the pulpit that his subjec- tion to the greed and lust of his white taskmaster was with the iptural injunction: “Cursed . be avaan, a servant of servants shall he unto his brethren. Blessed be the Lord, God of Shem, and Canaan nll be his servant. God shall en- th and shall dwell in the of Shem and Canaan shall be nt.” in the last thirty years has this curse been raised. The four mil- lion of negro slaves emancipated by the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln and the thirteenth amendment to the fed- eral comwstitution have been en- franchised and endowed with equal civil and political rights with their former masters and every other citi- zen of the great republie. The negro is now upon trinl before the civilized world. Will he prove himself worthy of the liberty which has been at last accorded him? Does he appreciate the priceless boon that has been conferred upon him? And dos he remember that he was a servant of servants in almost every land under the sun? Is it meet and proper that he of all others shou'd heap opprobrium upon any class of his fellow citizens on account of race, ereed or nationality Will the en- franchised negro reaflirm the old say- ing that the negro slave driver was more cruel than the white man who owned him? This is the question that solf squarely to every colored who is asked to join an order or or zation that has for its object the pro- seription of any class of citizens be- cause of their religious creed. When the A. P. A, order was first inaugu- rated it insulted the negro by excluding him from membership because of hi ce. But now that the dark-lantern order wants the negro as a hewer of political wood and a drawer of politi- cal water he has been graciously ac- corded the right to become a full- blown A. . A, and associate with ex- confeds, copperhends and nigger haters, To the eternal disgrace of the negro «quite @ number of his people in Omaha have actually enrolled themselves in the ranks of proscription and persecu- tion with the sole aim of getting a promised dip into the political flesh- pots. How ean any A. P. A. negro face the man of his own race who has em braced the Roman Catholic creed? The Roman Catholic ne puld not only carry the curse that r the descendants of Ham and C: but he would be doubly cursed be- cause he is both black and a Roman Catholic. 1s the negro prepared to in- stitute a second slavery for his own flesh and blood? Is he willing to swing the lash of proscription over another negro because he looks to the Roman church for his spirvitual salvation? Surely no intelligent negro who gives this subject any thought ean for a mo- ment remain a member of any A. I’ A. lodge without consciousness that he inviting reprisals against his own people. If the negro is not cheerfully disposed to perpetuate the freedom of conscience and the political equality of all men, how long will it be before white men will band themselves to- gether to exclude him from the polit- ical privileges which came to him only after centuries of slavery and untold sacrifice on the part of liberty-loving men of all creeds and nationalities, American and foreign-born, Protest- ants and Catholics. this en- lifetime " be ‘uts his sery Only wi presents man THE LAW WORK WELL. According to the Berlin correspond- ent of the New York Evening Post the enforcement of our immigration law is being perceptibly felt in Europe. He states that a short time ago a band of fifty Russians arrived in Magdeburg enroute to the Russian frontier, where they were to be turned over to the czar's officials. They were persons that had been shipped from Hamburg to New York, but had been refused admission to the United States under the terms of the law. About the same time another batch of 150 were trans- ported back to Bohemia and Huungary, being would-be immigrants in a simi- lar plight. This correspondent s that as the Hamburg line as well as the North German Lloyd, by special agreement with the German imperial government, have to pay all the costs | of such transportation back, these two lines are now exercising even more eaution in assuming the risk of con- veying emigrants to'the United States than they did at the beginning of the season. Their new system of checking and controliing emigrants at the fron- tier stations of Austria and Russia fs extremely rigorous and it will, says the correspondent, no- doubt have the effect of keeping thousands at home In interior villages and towns who othel wise wou! have emigrated to this country, is said that the German government is glad of this new policy on the part of this country, for it oper- ates to keep many a young man and would-be deserter at home. It is the understood purpose of the German government to introduce at the next sesslons of the Diet and the Reichstag measures to discourage and restrict emigration, This is gratifying testimony as to the good effect produced by a proper en- forcement of' the immigration law, which is all that is required to bring about such a sifting of emigrants from the old world as will insure the coming to this country of on!y such as are desirable. We cannot say whether all A_DAILY REFR: SUNDAY. the Buropean steamship companies are an careful in the matter of checking and controlling emigrants as the Ger- man lines are reported to be, but If not they can certainly be brought to it by a firm adherence to the course our government has adopted. No steam- ship company will need to have many such expensive experiences as those noted above In order to persnade it to comply with the requirements of our law, and when they have become con- vinced of the expediency of doing this there will be no difficulty thereafter. The facts cited by the Berlin. corre spondent show that the restrictions upon Immigration we already have are sufficient to keep out the undesirable classes If our own authorities will faithfully do their duty in enforcing the law. . THE GREAT YACHT RACE. The vietory of the American yacht Defender in the first of the races for the America’s cup will intensify inter est In this event, though it is by no means to be regarded as establishing the superiority of the winning boat. Both yachts showed cellent sailing qualities and the fact that the De- fender came in eight minutes ahead of the Valkyrle certainly warrants stronger confidence than had been felt in her ability to defeat the RBritish boat, but the relative merits of the not be determined from a single race. But Americans may very fly enthuse over the result and the English backers of the e will be given an opportunity to attest their faith in her to the full limit of their financial resources. The conditions governing the march pro- vide that it shall be decided by the winning of three out of five races, there being a different course for each race, and that one day, not counting Sunday, shall intervene between ch race. The second trial will therefore take place on next Tuesday. An unfortunate circumstance in con- nection with yesterday's race, notwith- standing the supposed ample precau- tions that had been tak was the in- terference with both yachts, and espe cially with the Valkyrie, of the excur- sion steamers, and it is to be hoped still more rigid regulations to prevent this in the races to come will be pro- vided. However strongly Americans may desire the success of the Defender none should wish it achieved by other than absolutely fair play.

No structure with plank rafters, board partitions or wooden stairways can be relied upon to resist the ravages of fire. On the other hand, buildings that are constructed exclusively of stone, brick and iron, even where the flooring is of wood, are practically indestructible. The worst that can happen in a really fire-proof building is the destruction of furniture and the contents of ticular rooms in which the fire originates and the consequent damage by smoke and water to the interic The Boston Ma- sonic temple evidently was erected more for imposing architectural disp'ay than it was_for durability dnd resist- ance to the elements. ANOTHER The destruc EXTRADITION TREATIES, The case of Chester W. Rowe, the de- faulting Towa county treasurer, who fled to Mexico and whose extradition the FMexican government refused to order, has called attention to the fact that there is need not only of a new treaty with that country, but that with many other countries a readjustment of ex- tradition relations is most desirable. Tt is a surprising fact that we have no extradition treaty with Germany as an Independent power, notwithstanding our extensive relations with that power. We have treaties with several of the states composing the empire and it Is said that all the different provisions of these treaties sometimes lead to embar- rassing and vexatious complications. Tt is a difficult and dilatory proceeding, however, to secure a change in our treaty relations. A recent instance il- lustrating this was the extradition treaty with Russin, which was pending in the senate six years awaiting action before it was ratified. As to Mexico it Js manifestly most desirable, by reason of the proximity of that country, that a new treaty be negotiated with as little delay as pos- sible, otherwise it will become a con- venient refuge for American defaulters and other rascals, if the Mexican author- ities are disposed to tolerate their presence in the country. It seems that all a criminal from the United States, taking refuge in Mexico, now to do in order to make his sojourn in that | country secure is to become a Mexican {eitizen. That action, it fgpears, assures scal he may be, and when this be- ! comes generally known the population | of Mexica will grow from the accessiows of American defaulters and embezzlers as rapidly as did that of Canada before the. existing extradition ftreaty was negotiated. It is perhaps true, as {Consul General Crittenden says, that the Mexican authorities have acted in the Rowe~case strictly In accordance with what they Dbelieved to be their duty. Pernaps our government is to blame, as was intimated by the Mexican minister of foreign affairs when he said there must be a better reciprocity on the part of the United States government before it can expeet to have an entirely satls- factory treaty with Mexico on this and other points of international law. If our government has not dealt fairly with Mexico in the matter of extradition, and this is what is implied in the remarks attributed to the Mexican minister, we cannot reasonably complain if we are repaid in kind. But manifestly two enlightened coun- tries as near together as the United States and Mexico are and which pro- pose to maintain relations of inter- uational comity eannot afford to permit their territory to become the safe refuge of each other's crimiuals.

The matter sl recelye from our gov- ernment e early consideration. INS. HERE AND ABROAD. of insanify Is a froitful topic of discussion among medical men and it is a subject of general Interest. Nearly all the reports of specialists and divectors of Institutions devoted to the care and treatment of persons afllicted with mental maladies show that the namber of such patients is growing. It is a noteworthy fact that notwith- standing the greater ‘mental activity of the American people, with its conse quent excitement, anxiety and wor the increase of insanity is not so marked in the United States in propor- tion to the population as in Great Brit- ain and some other countries. A paper read hy Dr. Forbes Wipslot, the great I ish authority on brain diseases, befc the Medico-Legal con- ar ion in New York the st week, presented some interesting sta- tistics regarding insanity. According to these in Great Britain the propor- tion of luny is 1 in every 400 of the population, in France 1 in e 747, and in Americn 1 in every 625, In New South Wiles there is one lu- natic in every 361 of the population. Tt thus appears that the showing for this country is very much better than that for Great Britain, though it is bad enough to arrest attention as present- ing a really serious matter for consid- eration. According to the census of 1890 the number of insane persons in asylums in the United States was about 110,000, Accepting as appre mately correct the statisties given by Dr. Winslow, the number of insane in this country at present is about 113,000, wn ine > of only 3,000 in five years. In Great Britain on January 1, 1895, ording to the very latest available isties, there were 94,081 persons reg istered as of unsound mind in the v rious institutions provided for such per- which was an inc of 2014 in i, In ten years there has been an of over 1,000 persons of un- sound mind in every 10,000 of the gross population in Great Britain. here are about 90,679 persons of un- sound mind iw Feance out of a popula- tion of 38,0004009. No one who'feels an interest in his fellow m-.-amzw,‘-un contemplate these figures and reéflatt that -they are being adily increased without being im- pressed. More than 100,000 men and women in our own land who are mental wrecks, living without the light of reason to guide them, is a pathetic fact ind also a serious one when it is known that {Iié jroportion of such to population is”growing year by year. A variety of causes contribute to the inerease of insanity, chief among which are intemperance, destitution and mis- ery, disappointed hopes and the worry and strain incident to the rapid.life of this age. It is much easier to discover the causes of the disease than it is to apply remedies, but there is reason to hope for improvement when thowghtful men, such as composed the Medico- Legal congr are devoting careful and patient consideration to the sub- ject. 1 o The address to the American people by the president of the Cuban revolu- tionary junta, urging the recognition of the insurgents as belligerents and depre ing the efforts to prevent aid being extended to them, makes sonie points that are not without force, though it cannot be admitted that there is the perfeet similarity he claims between the cause of the Ambrican col- onists and that of the Cuban insur- gents. Still it is easy to understand that he and all who are engaged in the effort to free Cuba from Spanish domination should so regard it and American sympathy with them will rather be intensified because they do s0. But the men who are battling for Cuban independence ought to see that the United States has solemn obliga- tions 1A this matter which every con- sideration of interaational integrity and duty requires it to fulfill. As to be ligerent rights they can only be re ognized when the insurgents have es- tablished a government and shown their ability to maintain it. Until then they will have to be content with such moral support as comes from a general and hearty American sympathy with their cause.

Chicago Tribune. A great deal of missionary effort has been expended upon the Chinese in California, and especially In San Francisco, but it re- quires a microscope to discover any real con- versions after forty years of labor. In the way of dolng actual good for the wretched people of our slums $100 will accomplish more than $10,000 spent in trying to change the Chinese in their Flowery Kingdom into followers of Christ and heretics to the doc- trines of Confucius. Taking everything into consideration, it is a fair question whether there is not a great waste of Christian effort as well as of money in these attempts to convert Chinese who won't be converted and whether it would not be more practical as well as more Christian to concentrate some of this effort and money upon the heathen at our very doors who know neither Christ nor Confucius, —_— SUFI UTAH. Philadelphia Press: The decision of the Utah supreme court that women cannot vote at the coming state election and on the adop- ©of the constitution is in accord with and common sense, How the lower court could have reached another conclusion will puzzle the veriest tyro and it will show what ludicrous decisions are sometimes handed down from the bench. The enabling act passed by congress says that those who now have suffrage privileges in Utah can vote on the adoption of the constitution. Women have not had such privileges in Utah for years, and yet in the face of these plain facts a judge was found capable of afirming their right to vote. Fortunately the su- preme court saved the new state from mak- ing a blunder at the start and put an end to the alleged scheme of the democrals to viti- ate the vote on the constitution and give Mr. Cleveland an excuse for withholding his proc lamation admitting the state into the union it the republicans carry the election. Chicago Chronicle; The territorial supreme court of Utah has reversed the decision of Judge King on the subject of woman suf- frage. The new decision_is concurred in by a majority of the judges. They hold that women cannot register and vote on the adop- tion of the new constitution. * * * This is good law. But it will produce complica- 1 tions. Women are registering throughout the territory for the purpose of voting on the constitution and for state and local officers to be chosen at the same time. Their votes on the constitution will be void. What will be- come of their votes for state and local offi- cers? It the constitution shall be ratified and proclaimed they will become voters. It the ratification of the constitution should have a retroactive effect their votes will be valid. Many women are candidates for office. But even if elected they cannot hold office unless the constitution for which they are ineligible to vote shall enfranchise them with retroactive effect on their eligibility for office. —_—— CORN'S SWEET COMPANION, Harvesting an Enormous Sugar Deet Crop in Nebraska. Sloux City Jours Unless some untoward event occurs to change the crop prospect the largest job of beet miarketing ever done in Nebraska will bo entered upon this week. There are two immense, factories for the manufacture of beet s in Nebraska, at Grand Island and Norfolk, both of which have been In opera- tion: for several years, but the amount of beets they will be able to buy has never equaled the present outlook. The managers of the factory at Grand Island estimate that they will have at least 35,000 tons of beets oftered them during the season, and at the Norfolk factory 40,000 tons are expected. This means some 14,000,000 pounds of granu- lated ‘sugar from these factories, and they will have to be run until late in the winter to work up all the beets. The factorfes have been put In the best possible condition, and all is ready for beginning operations. The fatmers in the vicinity of these beet sugar factories are pleased with the outlook. The lowest estimate on the average yield is ten tons per acre, and the price for imme- diate delivery is $5 a ton. In some cases larger ylelds are expected, running up to twenty-five tons an acre in exceptional cases. Such crops as this are profitable, even though the prices formerly realized are not now pos- sible. Presant prices would not have been profitable when the industry was first started, but it is an industry that is growing and de- veloping all the time. The dry season last year reduced the amount of the crop, but the quality was better than it will be this season, though tests show that most of the beets have from 10 to 14 per cent of sugar. Better cultivation of the fields than in former years has been an important factor in the making of more valuable crops. There are other cities in Nebraska that de- sire the establishment of the beet sugar in- dustry in their vicinity. There was an effort made to get a factory at Chadron, in the ex- treme western part of the state, and one is hoped for at Randolph, Lincoln and other places. It has been demonstrated that good sugar beets can be grown in almostany part of the state, and with this fact in view it is re:sonable to suppose that other factories will be buill in the state and in adjoining states. 1t would not do for the farmers of Ne- braska to go too far with their beet sugar farming. There is always danger of losses in any country devoted to one kind of farm- ing, and it would be as unwise for Nebraska farmers to become exclusively sugar beet growers as It was unwise for the North Kota farmers to stick to wheat to the exelu- sion of everything else. Nebraska is a good stock and dairy state, especially in some parts, and It has splendid corn flelds and wheat fields and good crops of all kinds are to bs found thére. Beet raising should be simply one of the things making up the wealth of Nebraska, and the present pros- pect encourages the hope that the factories are permarent and more of them can be profitably operated.
