Washington's citizens, always vain glorious of their city, have been deeply humiliated by the discoveries that have been made recently by Inspectors au thorised by lew. Within two or three blocks of the Capitol building there are slums, where human' beings, old and young, exist In great numbers in habitations so small and vile as to stagger belief. It has been stated that these buildings are worse and more overcrowded than any to be found In New York or Chicago. Since the agitation of the question of housing the poor. It baa been found that the old army barracks, which did duty away bock In 1861, '6J, '41. '04 and ‘61, have been constantly occupied by hordes of tha colored population. Without any sanitary provision what ever, It Is needless to argue that such sections of the Capital City are hot beds for the breeding of pestilential disease and moral depravity. Washington's poor may be fewer In number than the more populous cities of 4he United State*, but they are more neglected and more to be pitted be cause of the dearth or opportunity for employment In a city without commer cial or manufacturing Interests. They are, for the most part, the energy less and unthrifty whites and help less, dependent blacks from the South who came to Washington ns a Mecca (luring ana Immediately after the civil war. The march of the Union army southward necessitated migration to die poor, especially the colored people, who In their chlldli ... ...... Jlsh dependence upon others were Illy fitted to be self-sup- iwrtlng or find habitations. The freed- men'H bureau attracted them: but Its benefactions ceased years ago, and left dll too many of them In the District ' of Columbia, where Industrial resources nre few. In all the ytara sines, they have hud n mere existence, never able to i««y rent or supply themselves with more than the absolute necessities of life. Tlie majority of them have not yet learned to adapt themselves to modern methods and sanitary requirements for the preservation iff life and health. hMi inivfirnpil rlfv In thn wnrhl" ••The best governed city In the world' —as thn boastful declare Washington to be—has i>ald no attention to this unfortunate class. They have been al lowed to follow their own sweet wills In the multiplication of their kind, without being compelled to comply with any of the regulations of the com missioners, which have been rigidly enforced upon the better and mate In dustrious . class of cltlsens, until they have become a menace to the moral and physical health of the city. In the aristocratic West End, within a stone's throw of the palaces which line- the avenues of that section, In spectators have found “alley shacks” in which girls, white nnd colored, are growing up In the midst of disease, filth and dilapidation which are Indescriba ble as American homes." It has'also b«n discovered that with in the city's limits girls and boys have grown up In Illiteracy and without any training whatever to fit them for good citizenship or ability to he self-sup porting. It Is well that there has been an awakening to these conditions, and that laws have been passed which authorize the destruction of dens of Infamy and degradation In the nation's capital. The work has already been begun by the cleaning out of the alleys, and the re moval of the tottering domiciles, mis called houses. Their present occupants are to be scattered In different direc tions, and helped to secure sanitary abodes In localities better stilted to their spheres In life. Decrease In the mortality list, diminution In the dis semination or disease and healthier conditions will surely follow the move ment, which should have been begun long ago. The commissioners nre now armed with authority by law, and It Is not likely that they will bo dilatory under the pressure by the press for Immediate action. Therefore, doubtless the days of ''CJueenia Court," "Chinch How." "Navo's How” and "O Street Alleys" are numbered. , ''Washington's civic evils, no aom- pulsnry school attendance and 10,000 children last year not attending school: no Inwa against children's work: no ipeclai Juvenile court: no nll-the-yenr- round play grounds; no adequate holla ing laws,, but slum conditions as had as those of Chicago and New York, without the excuse of being a great Industrial center or being crammed be- s een rivers, ai enumerated by the na tional publication committee," will suredly be speedily co corrected.

ATLANTA'8 OPPORTUNITIES. By DR. R. R. KIME. Atlanta Is In danger by apathy and Inaction, due to reaction after a storm of riot and excitement. Bholl we profit by the unpleasant experiences that left a blot on the fair name of our city, or will we, by Indifference and Inaction, drift along and ultimately back Into the same condition as before? Much has been written In regard to the causes that led to the riot, and Its serious results, and yet but little hus really been done to eliminate the real causes that brought It about. No permanent organized action nor systematic scientific study lias been In- atltuted to prevent a repetition of such or something worse In the future. ICach city Is Just what Its citizens make It, and If we desire Atlanta to be it model city, we must make It so. He who builds well builds on a solid foundation, and so must a city be built If it is to he permanent nnd sustain a high standard of citizenship. For ul timate good and equal rights to all. It must be built nn upright, honorable, moral basis. There should be put one motto In all actions that pertuln to the development of the city, and that motto should be: "Is it right? Is It Just?" Evil powers and Influence* are ever pre/ent with us as Individuals anil ns a city, and are very Insidious In their uetlons. If they exist, ns certain os the night follows the day their results will be felt. Whether In high life or low life, in the white or colored race. Atlunta was only reaping iw she had smvq, anti so she will reup In the fu ture. If We expect the future to bn better,tliun the past we must make It so. We should meet this subject, fairly ami squarely us brave men. und do our duty as citizens of a great city. If wo liavo evils we must eradicate them, or suffer the consequences. It matters nut if those evils are In high life or low life, If they exist that Is sufficient. Cun we Iw honorable, Just and equita ble and prohibit one and permit nn- other to do'the saute thing? If a thing Is evil, It 1* not Just: It Is not light: tnoral city can afford to do. It Is not a question of dollars and cents; we cannot afford as individuals nor as a city Jo do evil at any price. It Is a slander on the fair name of Atlanta to say she cannot get along without the money from licensing evil to run her city government. It Is a disgrace to her civilization, schools, churches and business Interests to say she needs blood money, bought with price of pre cious souls, to run her city government. I say It without fear of successful con. tradictlon t>»: for every dollar received from licensing evil we pny for It ten fold In dollars, not to consider the moral aspect and physical suffering. The sooner we learn evil licensed at any price ts a costly Investment, the better It will be for us as a city. There Is also a moral phase to this question which we should not lose sight of—when we, llcefise nit evil that causes death or results in murder we are Indirectly responsible.- It Is not enough to say wc need the money, the highway robber could say the same und he gives his .subject a lighting chance. We license nn evil for money that makes slaves of Innocent children, yea, even worse, many are destined to lives of misery, disease and mental degeneracy before they are born. Tchouang-Tsen, who wak of the country of Soung, waa a man whose wisdom had taught him detachment , from all things of this world, and be Ing a good Chinaman he did not be lieve In tillage eternal. Hence, for hlin the only poeelble 'road to content wae to eecape from thoee etna which all men are bound - to commit while In breatbleee pursuit of useless wealth and vain honors. Now, It mutt have come to pats that this sage found great satisfaction In following out his own theory, for after his death he woe honored as one of the elect and thought worthy of envy. During thoee days which he passed upon thle earth —and which geniuses who have been misunderstood believed he lived In some unknown ahrube and willows and tall bamboos—he waa accustomed to walk about and dream of countries wherein he lived without knowing why nor bow. Now, It so happened ‘that one bright morning he was sauntering along the flowery elopes of the mountain called Nan-Hoa, and he came to«a cemetery, where, according to the usage of the country, the dead sleep under little mounds of earth. When he saw these tombs, which extended as far as the eye could reach, the philosopher be gan to meditate upon .the ultimate destiny of man. "Alas!" he said, “here la the cross roads, where all putha terminate. When one has taken Ills place among the dead he never returns." I But It must be admitted that this idea was not very original, but,' after alt, It sums up the philosophy of Tchouang-Tsen, uml that of the Chi nese In general. These people know but one life, and that Is the one in niilch you can look upon the sun shin ing upon the peonies. The equality of all the mortals after death consoles them or drives them to desperation.- person Is who lies within the toniB, and why you take so much trouble t<f fan the earth which has been heaped upon him 7 I am n philosopher. I am always looking for cause and effect, and I cannot understand the reason fur your strange actions." The young lady continued to move her fan to and fro. Hhe blushed, bowed her head and murmured some words which the sage could not hear. He asked the question several times, but could get no answer. The young woman seemed to pay no uttentlon to him, und It wnB us If all the strength of hor soul were concentrated In the hand which was moving the fan slow ly hut Incessantly to and fro. Tchouang-Tsen withdrew regretful ly. While he knew that all Is vanity 111 this world, his philosophic mind in clined him to seek out the reasons for human actions und especially reasons for those of women: for this class of humanity Inspired him with u deep, nialevotont curiosity. He walked slow ly away, turning back now snd then In spite of himself, to natch the fan which never stopped, and looked like the wing of a huge butterfly. / Suddenly there appeared before him an old woman whose presence he hail nut hitherto remarked, und she made sign to him to follow her. He did so. and when they came within the shade of u tomb that was higher than the others she said to him: I heard you ask my mistress u question which she did not answer. Hut I will satisfy your curiosity, Ih>- and If allowed to exist evil results will follow. In the ptist we have allowed "low dives" anil "high dives"—lewd pictures and gambling In both, ob scene pictures posted to public gaze, blood und thunder stories, yelluw-back dime novels for sale, obscene and vul gar theuters, with young Isiys In the peanut galleries, and, of course, we must reap the results. If we desire a model, moral city, we must supnly a moral atmosphere. To do this we must renovate the city, clean up and keep clean morally. We rannot do this and let sueh things, as the ubove exist In our midst, neither can we license evil of whatso ever character. We as a city have no moral right to license evil, ami when we do so we vloiald a principle of Jus tice and light and must suffer the con. sequences. If we license un evil we participate In the business, which no And jet wie call ourselves un en lightened Christian people. Let jus awake to olir duty and re sponsibility as a city tintl - free our selves* of. the. evil* that bind using shackles uml make AMitmti a model city on a high moral (dune, 'then-wo' need have no fear of tile future. These urc moral OteoMrans that con cern us all und not qn —thins of ..re ligion to be discussed by the church members and preachers alone. The riot nnd the relation of the races are moral questions and heed sclentlflc study and Investigation us well aa the Influence of- religion to solve them. Bpnsmodlc efforts and occasional re vivals of religion are not sufficient to cope with these momentous questions. The majority of negroes hnve plenty of religion of the kind, hut It needs moral backbone. Their religion should teach them higher Ideals of-honesty, truthfulness, virtue and to respect the tights of others. In passing we might say that a great mun.v white people might Inject k lit- He of this moral lenven Into thclt res lil^on wjili considerable advantage to themselves anil the community In which they live. To Inculcate these moral principles Into the colored race will require time anil systematic organized effort not only of the colored teachers und preachers, but of tho white people us well. As-king as they remain with us ami it part of our citizenry we must look lo their education, moral. Intel lectual and religious, tie Is here with out his consent nnd a citizen by mis take, which constitutes a condition and not a theory which must be met. If he Is to remain he should be made the best citizen possible and dealt with on an honorable. Just btptls and devel oped along the lines that will best lit and qualify him for the position and station In life which nature has adapt ed him to fill. ' ’ . To elimlnata the evil and elerelbp'thc good trill require the combined effopt of both races. While the negro Is making a study and Investigation tlf Ids race we should also do the same. By all means let us have a commis sion appointed and sustained by the state to study and Investigate from a practical sclentlflc standpoint, crime, pauperism and Insanity In regard to the colored race. The Atlanta Sociological Society at Its monthly meeting, November 8. dis cussed the alcohol question from the educative standpoint. Rev. C. E. Dowman very forcibly presented the legal, economic and moral phases of the question. D. W. ,B. Parks gave an able paper on tho educative method dealing with the effects of alcohol from a physical standpoint, urging that everyone should be Instructed ns to the poisonous ef fects of nlcohol when taken Into Hie human body. These papers were freely discussed and many points of Interest and value brought out. It was especially emphasized that the public must be educated along these lines If prohibition Is ever made ef fective. That simple elimination of the sa loons Is not of Itself sufficient. A nigr al atmosphere In the home, the city, community and state must be devel oped. The use of alcohol and many patent riiedlrlne* containing alcoholics should be discontinued by the medical pro fession, ministers, teachers and the public generally. -f • Its use should b« discarded.from the home, In tho family, by the church, members and all. ns its effects are evil directly and Indirectly. The consensus of opinion of many of the best medical authorities Is tliut It is not necessary ns a medicine, is In jurious to the physical economy nnd should be eliminated from general use by the laity ns such. It was also argued that the public should bo protected from the evil ef fects of drinking, that policemen should not be allowed to drink ou or off, duty, that conductor^ ahd mqtormen on street cars should ribt drihk lit tiny time, that conductors, englnee;*, flte- ineii and railway operatives should have a clean record front the use of al coholics at tiny nnd nil times as a pro tection to the lives of the passengers und the general public.

LOGAN. giants of Algol, the Captain askn: "Shall we look next at a world with h double sun?" . “O, yes; please take us to see one of those Worlds," replies the Only IVomnn, "and let It be one that has suns of different colon. That will bo so delightful." ‘it Is easily done,” the Captain re sponds. "The universe contains more worlds lighted In that Way than our astronomers ever supposed. Variety of color Is characteristic of the stars, even when they are coupled In pairs. With our telescopes we used to notice only the more deeply colored stars of this kind, und a slight difference of tint hardly attracted our attention. But for the planets that circle around them such differences are of great Impor tance, and when a world happens Lo belong to a sun of some decided hue, like Aldebaran, and, at the same time, has near at hand another sun, of a strikingly contrasted color, the com bination of effects Is extraordinary. I shall take you to visit a double star, one of whose component suns Is bright red and the other clear green, and you will sec how remarkably these contrasted lights play together, upon the worlds that they Illuminate.”' While the Cuptaln turns the crystal car In search of the colored double that he has described our party fa.HA to discussing the double stars that we used to know In the, heavens. We re call the pleasure that we derived from looking with powerful telescopes at the beautiful Alblreo, otherwise known as Beta of the Swan (Beta Cygnl), where the larger atar Is white tinged with gold, and the smaller one a deep bril liant blue, us fine and pure as the most costly sapphire. The Professor avert that Alblreo was the most beautiful object that he had ever seen In the heavens before our Journey began, but the Only Woman declares that her choice was the star Cor Caroll, under the handle of tho Great Dipper. And another member of the party pro nounces In favor of Mlrar, the wonder ful colored double In Bootes. While we are talking of these things all eyes gradually become fixed upon a star which has visibly spilt In two In tho last few minutes. Before the di vision occurred It waa a white star: now we percylve that It Is made up of one red und one green star. But while they yet seemed blen'ded together, their light was combined, producing the ef fect of uffilte. The suparntlon reveals the difference of color. Of course, the separation Is the re sult of our swift approach; the lessen ing of the distance has the same ef fect as the magnlffcatlon produced by a telescope. All the double stars are sin gle to the naked eye. and If they hap pen to have complementary colors, they appear simply Its a white star, until the telescope Is turned upon .them. This apparently throws them 'apart, and shows each In its color. The effect la ns If the observer had suddenly ap proached so near that the two stars no longer blended together In the eye. Thus the telescope Is, In a certain sense, n magical car which seemingly transports the observer millions of leagues into space. But we are able Inffnltely to tran- M-enil the powor of the mightiest tel escope In this respect, since there Is proach, and aa we continue to draw near the colored double which the riZ tain has chosen as the object of our visit we see Its two suns moving nrutrt like two Illuminated toy balloons, timu at loot they actually occupy np,,„ s | t , quarters of the sky. This means that we have moved Into a ponitlon hot ween them, and now they hana blazing one on either hand—this red as a burninc ruby; the other pouring out tho most blindingly brilliant rays of gre-i ' "Wo must approach one or the other of them,” lays the Captain, "In order to And Its worlds. Which shall It be’" "The red.” And ao we turn toward the red star and as its light brightens with our approach, we arc reminded of Alde baran. But here there Is some differ, ence In the quality of tho light which causes a different impression upon the senses. Soon we are able to select from among this star's planets one upon which to effect a landing. It la Inhabited, but I shall not undertake tn describe It, or Its people, except so far as they are affected by the contrasted lights that fall upon them. For, do not forget that although we have drawn much nearer to the red atar than to Its green companion, yet tho latter la sufficiently close to funilsh a great amount of light. The consequence Is that the world on which we have notv landed has two kinds of daylight. Ro tating on Its axis, like our own earth. It turns all aides In succession toward Its rsd sun, and Its proper daylight may be said to be red. But when any patt of the planet Is turned away from Its sun. It faces In the opposite quarter of the heavens the green compenlon. ami this serves as a secondary orb of day. shedding a green daylight In place of the nlgnt that would otherwise pre vail. We learn from some of the Inhabi tants that they are so organized that the aucoeaston of red and. groan xervn thn same purpose for them- that that of light and darkness does for uz. Thui their groen day Is In reality their night, during which they slumber, nnd most of their activities cease. But In ot/r eyes the results of the contrasting day lights, and the prevalence of one mono chromatic light In succession to th« other Is most strange and disconcert- - Ing. The monotony of color affects tn somewhat aa It did In the Alderbsra* world that we visited, but most dli- treeling Is the arrival of the green light, when. the whole world assume" a ghastly hue, and the few wakeful In habitants, stumbling about In what !■ gloom to their eyes, look like rentier" ghosts, pursued by tear of the mcnac- ng emerald orb, which rises huge, glowering, portentous, casting its tall* manic spell over the whole face of na ture. But particularly Impressive to ui are the ecenes at the moment of sun set—that Is the going down of the red sun, to be followed Immediately by the rising of tho green one above the op posite horizon.
