contributed somewhat to the movement.
The principle embodied in that resolution
he regards, however, as utterly impraoticable.
There can be, he claims, no separa-
tion Of races within tho limits
of this republic. There can be no citizen
the black race could be separated from the
white, the line between them would be line
of strife and blood. If, on the other hand,
they inhabit the same territory the same
race antipathies will probably exist and pro-
duce the same results as those from which
they have fled. Concluding his remarks to
the reporter who interviewed him, Mr..
Douglass said:
The hope of the negro, like the hope of every
body else in the republic, is in the progress of
enlightenment and civilization, and the South
will more and more, in my opinion, become
open to those influences. Although Southern
land-holders are unwilling to be taxed to sup
port negro schools. the school-master is abroad
in the South, and hundreds and thousands are
learning to read, write and to count. Con-
tr.sting the present condition of the colored
people with that which existed previous to the
war, cannot but refuse to despair of their fu-
ture peace and happiness in the States on the
soil of which they were born.
In these views Mr.. Douglass is sensible
far more so than he usually is. The place
for the negro is at the South, where the eli
mate is suitable to him, and where he can
find abundant and congenial employment.
The complaint made by some of the emf
grants that their wages are lower tkan those
of other laborers elsewhere is perhaps just
one, but the fact is due more to the extra
or iinary business depression that, has existed
at the South since the war. With revival
of industry there, of which the promise is
SO suspicious, this difficulty will speedily ad-
just itself, and with the increased demand
for labor the compensation offered for that
labor will be correspondingly increased. The
present exodus is foolish in the extreme, an6
will work only harm to the colored race.

The Republicans thought to make great
point by conducting their local campaign in
Chicago upon national issues. The voters
we're appealed to especially on national
grounds. The ablest speakers in the Repub-
lican party canvassed the city, the Republi-
can newspapers proclaimed that the election
of Harrison would be Tilden triumph, and
in the face of this the Democrats, for the first
time in sixteen years, carried the day. Now
the Republican papers throughout the coun-
try are declaring that the contest was purely
local, and has no other significance. It is
too late to retreat. The people of Chicago
accepted the issue as it was forced upon them,
and the result is of national significance.

reoounting the history of the last election, it

bunal disaster. But, in the long run, facts

powerful and oppressive, and the "millers'
ring is almost or equally as bad. DR..

anything, the Fergus Falls Journal, as a

bricks or Thurman. He said it was mis-
take to suppose that Hendricks had lost any

bricks can again take the second place on
the ticket. It was a sacrifice on his part to
do it before. His friends in Indiana are
hostile to his playing second fiddle to Mr..
Tilden. It is not true that Hendricks is de-

Mr.. Mcdonald said that he retained his
whole respect for the electoral commission
scheme, notwithstanding it made a Republi-
can President. He thought it was bright
thing in the story of the country that two
hostile parties, in their mutual fear of civil
war, had agreed upon compromise when
one or the other must lose.
AS to Tilden, Senator Mcdonald said
"He had it in his power to stop the electoral

done it when Judge Davis refused to sit.

a Sad Occurrence-Chtld Dro.Uned.

A sad and heart-aching occurrence visited

At about three o'clock in the afternoon
their little daughter Ada, aged years, wan
dered away from the house down to the
Zumbro river, distance of about 80 rods,
and, as it is supposed, fell off the bank into
the stream and was drowned.
A few minutes before the child went away
she was out about the barn with her father,
who was going to take his horses to water.
The father cautioned the child about going
near the water, when she replied in what
seems almost prophetic language: "Paps,
if 60 near the water, I'll be drowned, and
then be buried up in the ground, and you
wouldn't have no little Ada then, would

FRED DOUGLASS ON THE EXODUS

FlcED DOUGLASS ON THE EXODUS
FROM THE SOUTH.
While on most questions affecting his race
Mr.. Fred Douglass holds opinions too radical
and impracticable to merit serious consider
alton, we are constrained to commend hi,
views upon the mad rush of negroes now in
progress to some imaginary promised land
vest of the Missouri river that is supposed

iacious correspondents of radical Northern
newspapers, that the fundamental cause of
The present exodus is to be found in the out
RACES committed in the Gulf States especial
;y, on account of differences of political
opinion and action. The negroes, he says,
like all other people. love freedom and will
make sacrifices to secure it. The same feel
ing that led negro slaves, in the face of
dangers, hardship and destitution, to escape
from slavery and make their way by the light
of the north star into the free States is at
the bottom of this emigration. The facts in
the case do not warrant 50 extravagant an
assumption. It is true that the effort has
been made to incite the negroes
to emigrate by exaggerating to them
the difficulties that they as well as
every other race of employees have to endure
yet it is not true that in any section of the
South they have been persecuted for theil
political opinions or for any other reason.
Such a policy would be the height of folly
on the part of the Southern people, and
without presuming them to be blind to thei,
own interests we cannot entertain such an
opinion. The negroes are necessary ele.
ment of Southern industry, as necessary as
are the laboring classes of the North to this
section. Without their assistance the plan
tations would run to waste, commerce would
be suspended, and manufacturing would
cease. To drive them from the country
would be equivalent to biting ones nose of
to spite his face, and we do not believe that
the Southern people are equal to this folly.

has no abiding place. have been brought
indeed by experience to the conclusion that
the whole future progress of the sanitary
movement rests for permanent and executive
support on the women of the country. When
as physician I enter house where there
is contagious disease I am, of course, pri-
marily impressed by the type of the disease
and the age, strength and condition of the
sick person. From the observations made
on these points form judgment of the
possible course and termination of the dis
ease, and at one time should have thought
such observations sufficient. Now I know
them to be but partly sufficient. A glance
at the appointments and arrangements and
management of the house is now necessary
to make perfect the judgment. By this
glance is detected what aid the physician
may expect in keeping the sick in q
condition most favorable for escape from,
death; and by this is also de-
tected what are the chances that the affection
will be confined to one sufferer or distribut-
ed to many. AS rule to which there are
the rarest exceptions, the character of the
judgment is hereupon dependent on the
character of the presiding genius of the
home, on the woman who rules over that
small domain. The men of the house come
and go; know little of the ins and outs
of anything domestic; are guided by
what they are told, and are practically of nc
assistance whatever. The women are con-
versant with every nook of the dwelling
from basement to roof, and on their knowl
edge, wisdom and skill the physician rest
his hopes. How important, then, how vita
that they should learn, as part of thei
earliest duties, the choicest sanitary CODE

The idea of refrigeration as disinfeotant

tention. 1t is, however, an experiment SIM
ply. It was tried as cure in New Orleans
last year during the prevalence of the yellow
