Nomerous instances are cited by officers to prove that they are too sealous to suit the ideas of police court officials, and, as a con~ sequence, they are gtowing indifferent and ¢ uraged.

One fact is certain, Mr. Reed, as chief of police, is not the man who can regulate gambling. The criminals laugh at him. Crime grows’ apace. ‘The Star is making no crusade net Reed or the gamblers whom he protects In this efty, It is simply determined to tell the truth about the present omtrageous condition of affaires in this city, so that people ln who per. woof the crimia tions fe account, Beattie ls wile of hold-ups has been steatily ing among the victims T somewhat chary of mentioning of injuring the reputation of the ox n atlence Is no long . however, wt ad quickly by the {a vigilance committee.

Washington's article on th ‘Opportun: ties of the Negro” tn The Atlantic Monthly for November will finieh hin perusal of that admigabdle dissertation on the race question with a mere exalted hope for the future of bis people It may, perhaps, be claimed that Mr. Washington's optimiam is too pronounced, and that his passionate devotion to the upbullding of bis face impels him to take a too roseate view of its progress toward in tellectual and industrial advancement. Nevertheless the fact that thie gifted educator is profoundly in earnest and thoroughly pra tieal in Rig arguments and conclusions In the article in question he makes the notable observation that the negro acquired a knowledge of agriculture “during slavery, and hence in a large measure he is in pos- session of this indudstryin the South today.” Being in th position the colered man. Mr. Washington declares, “can buy land in the South as @ rule, wherever the white man can buy it, and at very low prices;” and he urges that philanthropy be directed toward aiding the negro to dequite an education tn farming, dairying, stock raising and horticulture. He sees in this mode of practical instruction a most effec- tive means by which a solution of the perplexing race problem may be reached; and certainly no one can gainsay the soundness of hia belief in this respect.
