A Work of Inestimable Worth.
It is suggested by Ptofessor Hoker
T. Washington, the founder of the
Tuskegee. Ala., normal Institute, which
has Just completed Its seventeenth an
nual commencement, closing a year's
vvoik In which 1017 pupils participated,
that an institution which has so thor
otiglil.v demonstiated Its ability to lift
up the coloied race, ought not to be
compelled, as it Is, to live from hand
to mouth. He believes that an endow
ment fund of 5,O0n,ii0n could be em
ployed to good purpose and those who
have studied the school's workings
will cordially concur In his opinion.
A letter from Tuskegee to the Mont
gomery Advertiser reporting the unique
nnd highly Interesting commencement
exercises, which were chiefly In the na
ture of exhibits of negro skill In the
mechanic arts, adds, upon the authority
of a clergyman who has made careful
Inquiry, that the ."00 graduates and
more than ."Ooo undergraduates who
have come under the influences of this
institution since Its establishment in
1SS0 have In nearly every instance af
ter leaving school developed Into cred
itable members of tlie community. This
clergyman. Itev. It. V. Hedford. of
Tuskegee, has given most of his time,
since eaily in January to visiting
among them. His trip has coveted
patts of Texas. Louisiana. Mississippi,
Alabama, Floilda. Oeoigla and South
Caiollna. He finds the Graduates, al
most without exception, honorably
employed. Many have labored as
teachers and otherwise for years In
the same place. Some have built up
splendid schools, bought laud, mar
ried, made good homes and are excel
lent citizens and of large Influence In
their communities. Almost every one
of them knows how to do some use
ful work aside from teaching. The men
build their school houses, t hutches and
homes, and work at or teatdi trades In
sohools. Many we aiirlntendents
of industries In other schools. The Im
provement among them, In short. Is
mov marked.
It Is to be hoped that Hie new ei'.t of
sectional reunion which is now so hap
pily opening upon us will not waste so
much of Its patriotism upon the war
against Spain that theie will not be
enough left properly and practically
to appreciate and to amplify the mag
nificent work which Hoker '1'. Wash
ington ami his zealous aids at Tuske
gee are doing, not for the South alone,
but lor the nation and for civiliza
tion. For If the race Issue In a vio
lent phase Is ever to be escaped In
this countrv It can only be along the
lines which this wonderful and far
sighted negto has laid down.

Our Inland Seas.
In the excellent speech with which
Senator Penrose amumed the duties
of temporary chairman of the state
convention occurs this sentiment'
"The construction of a canal to con
nect the gieat lakes with our sea
boaid should lie accomplished n r0ln.
paratlvely few yea.s. The siuveys are
nearly tompleled. ami when tlie canal
Is opened vessels can nail dlrettly from
the most western point on the great
lakes to any foreign port of the world.
It Is almost impossible to realize the
enoimoim Impetus which this canal
would give to commercial and Indus
tilal devolopement In the l'nlted
States."
The North American Hevlew for Juno
contains an article by Allan Hendricks
upon "The earning Trade of the
(itcat I.ake.t" which incidentally rein
forces Senator Penrose's lemark with
some Interesting and timely ilgutes.
The article Is worthy of petsual in Its
entltety, being a slngula.ly clear and
comprehensive study of the commercial
possibilities of Inland navigation; hut
from It we piopose now to borrow a
small percentage of Its Information.
The Importance 4f tlie lake tiafiic in
Indicated In the fact that while the
registeied tonnage uf the merchant
marine of the United States upon salt
water, Atlantic and Pacific, is 8,'IS,187,
that upon the lakes Is IXM.AtiS, or
nearly double. There aie about twice
an many clearances of vessels from
lake ports as theie arc from all the
feapoits of the l'nlted States. In 1S3.1
over yu.tw'i.WJ tons of freight passed
through the Detroit river and thin
enormouK sum In growing at n rate
considerably In excess of one million
tons per annum, the gain in 1S7 over
ISSti being almost 2.UO0.0O0 tons. Tho
canal" ut (he "rtoo" are open only Hi
days In each year, whereas the Suez
canal Is open the yenr thtough, yet
a comparison In business done In 1R95
shows that through the Suez 3,331 ves
sels passed of S.HS.'JK'i legistered ton
nage; while through the Satllt Sle.
Millie canals IT.Pafi vessels passed, of
16,SOS,781 registered tonnage, and with
cargoes worth .TIo'.t.'H.'.inu. The talto
of growth 1 Bteady and rapid in the
lake catikts while In the Suez canal
the volume of business Is practically
statloriAi In othnt words, lake nav
iKathrfj. VaJ many years of growth
befotFleTp It can attain Us maxb
muni?' J
nstlinnted that to build
lakes to tidewater 28
sufficiently wide to ad-
ng vessels would cost
20-foot waterway would
deep enough for all ptat-
tlcal puri'rtes and the cost of this
would hardly exceed Sl5(i,(iuti,0i)0; but
even an expenditure of double that
sunt would not be extiavagant If by
reaon of It the great gralnflclds of
the Northwest could secure an Huro
pean outlet for their crops upon terms
which would give us virtually unchal
lenged command of Europe's food sup
ply. Colonel Dougherty, of the Ninth regi
ment. J'cmiH, Vols., has published a re
ply to his emotlonul Wllkes-Datre crlt
Its which so thoiottghly cuts the gtotind
from under them that If they possess
sense they will now subside. Firing
from the rear upon oilicets and men at
the front wh'i are doing their duty as
best tiny car should be eUinally dis
countenanced by all who have the vvel
fate ol the country at heart.
The hot weather advice "keep cool

POLITICS AND WAR.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
An attempt to divert tho patriotic spirit
to partisan purposes will be genrally re
sented by the American public, no matter
who may be the benelltlar.v. -Men of oil
pai ties and shades of political belief are
in the rallies of the Fedeial army to up
hold the honor of the fliiu In this war.
Among the fruits of the splendid uprising
is the elimination of the old feuds tn.it
telarded the complete reconciliation 'f
tlie north ard south. The tilt cc-t ten
dency of the common sacrifices of the
war Is to fuse all panics and remove all
sectional Jealousies and misunderstand
ings. Any erfoil to give political color to
the war. or to advance the Interests of
political Icadci h In the organization of the
ttrmv, or any portion of it, will fall In its
purpose and will react disastrously
against those who build personal or patty
hopes upon It. The American public will
discover with unerring sagacity the mo
tives ot the men who bring partisan di
visions and designation Into the army,
anil will In due season relegate them 10
merited obscurity and popular contempt.
o
The regiment to he commanded by 'ol
onel William J. Hr.van lias been herahbcl
and recognized by liovetner llolcomb us
the "Silver Hattallon." The Populist
governor of Nebraska has appointed "16-to-l"
oltlcers to command It. Irom colonel
down, and to the credit of the country,
be It said, this Is the only regiment that
proposes to enter the army so distinctive
ly political In Its organization. No gov
ernor other than llovernor llolcomb has
thus endeavored lo Inject Into the war
against Spain the methods ot a political
campaign, or to liitroduco lu the aimy
partisan dissensions and party watch
words. The designation of the Fedeial
regiments b.v political titles and labels Is
clearly the mot offensive perversion of
the patriotic i.jilrlt conceivable. If Llov
ernor llolcomb and Colonel Hs.van should
have many Imitate) s among the execu
tives of the states, and among the coni
mandeis of the volunteer regiments, the
army would soon be converted into a
camp of warring political factions and be
come hopelessly demoralized,
-o
The exceeding impropriety of sending
regiments to the Meld as Republican.
Democratic. Prohibition or Mugwump or
ganizations, each under Us political ban
ner and Insignia. Is apparent to the dull
est mind. There aie limes and occasions
when partisan lines mut be effaced and
party shibboleth must be silenced. Ob
viously they are grotesquely out of place
when the cocintr. Is nt war, when the
country should have a single aspiration,
the discomfiture of the common toe. To
use the ei my to exploit political ssii.s
and ambitious politicians, after tne meth
od of iiovernor llolcomb and Colonel
Hr.van. the expectant beneficiary of the
Nebraska governor's n mar (table pnhtl-i-inllitary
programme. Is as absurdly and
dlsgtacpfully un-American as the oe
llvery of a "lii-to-1" or a Republican
speech to the troops at Tampa would be.
o
The organization of the "Silver Hit
tallon." officered by Simon pure "i'-to-1 '
partisan, beaded by the late national
champion of the "Pi-to-1" cause, illus
trates a species of political dementia
which happily prevails onlj in Nebraska.
Tlie sllverltes are found lepresented in
great numbers In the nrmj nnd navy, and
will fight for the other political faiths.
Very much of the honor and glory ami a
very large share of tl.e substantial re
wards for duty heroically done lu the
war will go to tlie men who voted for
Mr. Hr.van as the accredited . candidate
of their party. In American civil life
there Is abundant opportunity for the
fteesl exhibition of partisan feeling, but
all good citizens oucht to be as one aftr
they enlist in the atm.v and navy. No
American having a proper conception of
patriotic duty Inquires or cares to know
what the political associations of the sol
diers have been. The organization of reg
iments on political lines is utterly out of
harmony with the grave responsibilities
of war time.

llobson's choice, old style, originated in
a stable where Tobias Hohsoii, according
to the Spectator, "kept forty good cattle
always ready and lit for traveling. When
a man came for a horse lie was led Into
the stable whete there was great choice,
but was obliged to take the horse nearest
to the stable door." In words of accur
acy the voyager had no choice. Hoo
son's choice in the fututi will be no
forced selection under the cloak of frei
will, nor will It recall the humble calling
cl the stableman. Hereafter It will ttand
for the volunteer's offer ot his life to Ills
country in one of those desperate at
tempts to serve it known as forlorn
hopes." The later Hobson's choice tnils
Into honorable obscurity the truly exem
plary caie with which the Cambridge Inn
keeper allotted equal exercise among his
horses, and Axes Indelibly In tlie history
of war the liernli choice of the American
Hudson and his men to sncrlllce tln.-m-selves
