The negroes are doing better considering all
the circumstances of their. position than the
superior race" They are not altoge,h er idle.
and the majority of them will work when the
opportunity to labor is presented. Very many
of them are building up little homes for them.
selves, buying patches of land and cullivating
it, and thus laying the foundation for future
comforts and independence as they have never
known. One passes successive cleariDgs in the
pineries OF North and South Carolina where
they have erected log huts, aud upon which
they are subsisting by the hardest kind of
work, but which nevertheless affords them
homes where it is to be hoped they will in time
work out the problem of q higher and better
life. There are fewer negroes to bs seen living
IN idleness in the cities than expected to find,
and those that have crowded to these centers of
activity are doing as well as the average of
laborers at the North. All with whom L con-
versed in regard to the indursty and habits of

down to the river bank to witness an INNER

church. Two or three Thousand negroes lined
the shore. 1t was Sunday afternoon, and they
were OF course habited in their best garb; and it
would be difficult, if not impossible, to tind in
Northern city among the same class of per-
sons better dressed collection of people or
more observant of the proprieties of the day
and occasion. am glad to write thus of the
negro; for, despised though he may be BY too
many, reared in slavery and ignorance as he
has been, denied even to-day in scores of places
in the South the common rights of citizenship,
maltrested and abused until he can no longer
endure the wrongs put upon him and is seeking
by highsa home hey ond the reach of injustice
and oppression, he is the one great hope of and
promise of the South. 1t is his labor that will
build up the taste places of that section, if
they are ever TO be built up, or the labor of
some one like him, with equal docility patience,
kindness and forbesrance.

Where the Trouble Is.
PORTLAND, April Is, 1879.

IOhlLANO april IO, 1917
To the Editor of the Press:
read with great deal of interest the arti-
Gle on the first page of to-dsy's PRESS. beaded
"Sinister Prophecies" An hour or two after
ward 1 found on my desk a postal card rom
Springfield, Mass, of which the followingis
the subIance. After requesting copy 70
specified prescription the writer proceeds-'T
used, good many times repeated, the same
medicine, the need coming from unsanitary
houses. There are fen people now who are not
suffering or falling dead not knowing what is
the cause of heart disease, kidney troup es and
other diseases growing out of blood olson,
which will erelong develope such pestiience as
will be ne'o 10 this age and country" This re-
mark taken Ia connection with number of
Mr.. Croly's predictions, struck me as coiDci-
dence if not al remarkable one. At any rate
the writer has pointed ouTope direction in
which to look for the pestilence foretold, and it
will be the fault of professional men If they are
not forearmed as well as forewaraed.

kentucky. To illustrate: The Louisville Age
says that Judge Riddle few years back had a
Bottle thrown at his head whil on the bench.
Jndge Wicklffe found 1t necessary to shield
