The e.xistenee of such a power is

there is just one way to settle the

The Keeping of Flag Day.
OXCK MOItH we meiitlon tlitil
June 11. next Friday, will be
l'Miii; day set apart as such
by cnnuTcss, the anniversary
of the adoption of the Hlar.s and
Slrlpes at the national emblem by the
Continental congress nil Juno 11, 1777.
Kel'.v llajr in Scrnutnii should be In
evidence next Friday, and every
school, public and private, should
make some suitable celebration of tlie
day.
It Is InteiesthiR to recall in connec
tion Willi Ibis the celebration of .Mem
orial day and the practical lesson nf
the Hub: rIvcii tn the live hundred
Itusslan Jewish children who compose
the membership of the Huron de
Jllrseh classes In New York city. None
ol them had then been In this coun
try over seven months, sonic of them
less than half that time. Hut they
were already able lo slug In chorus
iiiniiy KiiRllsh sours: all were rapidly
learning to fc the langiiase of their
new hiiine,
In nn addles" to Ihem A. S. Solo
mons, the fiRent of the liaron do
Jllrseh fund, told them, in words they
could understand, how they should try
to learn American ways And Ideas. Es
pecially they should learn 'how to love
the Hag an'd to loineinber that "ll H
the only llaq but one under which tho
Jew can live and have the same privi
leges as christians." Then he gave to
each child a Mag, with the charge to
hang It up in a conspicuous place at
home, where every day they could look
upon It, and remember that it Is the
emblem of the country that gives them
freedom and protection.
That was a good lesson for the young
Immisrrants. Not less should every
American born child lie taught
to love and honor the Hag. By all
means let King day be celebrated
properly,
Whether it be tlie Juvenile court law
clauses with reference to "dependent"
children, or some other influence
strong enough to cause the poor board
to take action to place all the chil
dren now at Hillside Home in the
various charitable homes for children
in this city.' it is well, indeed, that
such action has been taken. A "poor
house." no nuttier how well managed,
is not a lit place for children to grow
up In, Now will the authorities bestir
themselves for that "suitable place of
conlineinent for delinquent children"
commanded by the law '.'
Of Southern Education.
TUH VHOHLK.Ms; of negro
education and of education
for tlie southern poor whites
"will not down" any more
than would llaiKiuo's ghost. As we
mentioned at the time of the recent
Kducationnl conference in tlie South it
was fully admitted by both northern
and southern representatives taking
part therein that the civilization and
the safety of the South dopem ed on
the industrial and academic training nf
both races, and the tentative steps for
a comprehnsive educational scheme,
planned by public spirited northern
men of wealth, were arranged. This
question in its broad aspects will be
brought by the president of that con
ference before this week's snuUiern In
dustrial congress in Philadelphia.
Industrial training for the poor
whiles of the South is given t.-hiefly, if
not indeed wholly, by schools sustained
by various leliglous bodies in the
North. Of these there are none to com
pare with Hampton and Tuskegee in
the extent of their work, nor with
some of the similar institutions for
colored people sustained by the
churches of the North. Indeed the educated-classes
of the southern people
scein lo be only just awakening to tho
fact that the great Ignorant mass of
their own race must have Industrial
training, and that they are almost as
lamentably lacking in even primary
academic schooling,
uu the other liaud, the educated
southerners and a good many north
erners have been Insistent not only that
the negro needs Industrial education,
but Unit he needs nothing more, be
yond the simplest primary teaching. It
is but just beginning lo dawn on some
of these people tlmt any industrial
training which Is to be of value either
to the Individual or the eoniiiiiinliy in
volves of necessity a good deal nioro
than that "simplest primary leaching."
Not to instance alone Hampton and
Tuskegce's graduate, lot us look at tho
general Industrial oxhlblilon given on
May ::o and at by tho graduating class
and the undergraduates of SI. Paul's
school al l.awronooville, Vu., one nf
those sustained by tho Kplscopul
ehureh, and, fo far ns shown by the
reports of other schools, and by their
exhibits at the Atlanta and Nashville,
expositions, It Is a fair example of
what niiin.v denominationally support
ed schools are teaching.
Here Is tlio report; "In the evening
lof commencement day) tliero was a
general Industrial exhibition In tho
temporary pavilion, We may instance
tho printing and liook department.
Studeiiis and foreman appeared on the
stage, with tliolr apparatus. Tho typo
was set bel'oro the audience, tho proof
taken, corrected, find typo imposed, In
tho presence of tho nudience. Tliu same
ilfe-like and real exhibition was mudo
of agriculture, harness-maklng, shoe
mnklug, brlck-laylng, plastering, mud
giirmciU-ninkiug. Then an Invitation
was extended to tho audience to visit
the just completed residence of tho
president, built by student labor and
electrically lighted with tho first dy
namo ever Installed in l.awrencevillo.
At the continuation of the exhibition
on Friday evening steam and electrical
engineering was practically lilus
trated. Products from the architec
tural, mechanical, and agricultural de
partment and work from the sawmill
were uhowii, and an Iron smithy, uwl I
a cnipenler slinpiiud Inthn In full oper
ntlon. Then there was tlie girl pupils'
exhibition of domestic science hum
deling, housework) and sewing done
In full view of the iitidlence of hiin
diods of white and colored people."
in view nt this II N not surprising
that Professor Dtt Molf, nf Atlanta,
should have pointed out In his rep-irt
nn "The College-Hied Negro," made
hint year to the "Klflh Conference f1''
(he Study of Negro Problems," hold In
tlmt city. Hint the only way to have
good primary or Industrial schools Is
In have good high schools nntl normal
schools mid colleges. So lung there
fore nn the races will not study to
gether, he says, tliero must be negro
colleges. , lie Is doubtless correct III
saying there are too ninny of these.
He reports thirty-two, while ten would
amply snlllce "until the Industrial
schools by their very development Di
et ease the demand for thinkers, of
their own race, lo guide the workers."
Hut Ills report shows. In detail, that
"the higher education", for the negro
already, Imperfectly as It is ns yet
given, lias lis justification In the good
done by It for both races.
It would be very Interesting to have
ns Rood u showing ns this for the
southern poor while. In the past he
has hud no more "academic" training
than the negro, and has held himself
"above" Industrial training and man
ual labor, The classes above him In
the social Scale nre beginning to sec
the necessity of both kinds of training
for him also. The social revolution it
will bring may. however, bo counted
upon to be sulllcienlly slow in evo
lution tn avert tiny great economic
disturbances of lb..- fnbilc el society In
the southern stales while it is going
on or afterward.
The firing of St. John's college and
seminary in Brooklyn last Wednesday
night, when the lives of nearly fifty
persons were deliberately Imperilled
apparently meant to be sacriliced by
the Incendiary is another Instance of
the kind of wickedness that justifies
the often expressed belief of demoniac
possession of some huninn beings. 'De
liberate arson, especially at night, and
deliberite trnln-wro-'king eerminly be
long to the class of crimes properly
denominated as fiendish.
We note from Hoeboster the infor
mation that the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals in that
city is greatly encouraged by the
manner in which the children there
have taken up the Idea of a junior or
ganization. Such an organization, with
some enthusiasm In it. would be a good
thing here also. But equally goi"!
would be enough sense of what i.i
cruelty to animals among tho grown
ups of this city who, In great num
bers, are again using the intolerably
cruel light cheek rein.
The acceptance by General Miles of
an Invitation to spend Flag Day In
Buffalo doubtless precludes his pres
ence at the armory ball. Hut there
will be enough other celebrities to
make the local occasion historic.
Tho anxiety of a number of appli
cants to secure tho Pretoria con
sulate which provides a salary of
$0uil to meet living expenses of $10,000
a year, indicates that the thirst for
glory Is becoming abnormal.
The Chinese problem is unsolved,
Inn it cannot be said that China re

OIL
THE INiEW YORK SUN
Money Article, Headed
The Financial Situation
published each Monday, has for 15
years been looked for with the great
est interest in banks and counting
rooms and among all financial men,
and has been respected as perhaps
the most intelligent review of the
money market and stock market. In
this .article, Monday, June 3, the
Sun in the course of a review of the
business and condition of the South
western Railway systems says: "An
other potent influence nffectingAtch
inson for good is the oil discoveries.
People here have not paid as much
attention to this matter as they
should. The goneral tendency has
been to scout it as a craze. But
there is no longer any doubt that it
represents a permanent and almost
incalculable increase of wealth to tho
Southwestern territory, and hence,
inevitnbly, to the Atchinson, South
ern Pacific' and other railroads in that
section. These railroads will gain
much by the additional business
generally growing out of the new de
velopment, but their chief product
will be in the astonishing saving
rendered possible to them in the cost
of fuel. A ton of coal in oil does not
cost over SI, whereas the coal used
by tho Southern Pacific and Atchin
son railroads last year cost between
$3 and $4 a ton. As the expendi
ture for this purpose is nearly 25
per cent of the total cost of trans
portation on the roads, the import
ance of the now found economy is
apparent. It means millions of dol
lars to theso railroad properties."
This article fairly represents the
trend of thought toward the oil in
dustry among capitalists generally.
The magnitude of the industry ond
its importance as a source of wealth
is perhaps not yet appreciated by the
general public, but the leadevn in
flnanco recognize fully tlmt oil and
its numerous by-products is to cut a
great and constantly growing fig
ure in our domestic and export trade,
the extent of which is already colos
sal. To make money in oil it is only
necessary to discriminate carefully
and invest in stock of companies
that are under practical and respon
sible management and havo large
holdings of oil lands secured at low
prices. THE PACIFIC COAST AND
TEXAS OIL COMPANY is such a
corporation ond this stock offers the
best opportunity to investors of any
now before the public, The company
