Preparing for Agitation.

Leading negroes of the country pretend
to think that troublesome times are in
store for their race because of the decision
declaring the civil rights act unconstitu-
tional. Nineteen Of them have addressed
letter to John NJ. Langston, United
States Minister to Hayti, requesting MN
to resign his position and remain al nome
for the purpose of giving his race 'ne
benefit of his advice. 1t may be stateu
with considerable certainty that Langs1oh
will not comply with this request. 4 ne
GRO does not readily give up an office I'M
less If is 10 take a better one, and Lang
ston isn't the kind Of a man to cut him.
self of from the official pap. He has
sense enough to know that agitation with
regard to the decision will do the negroes
more harm than good. Several of the
leading negroes have already stated that
they did not see that the decision would
result in depriying the negroes OF any
privileges that they enjoyed before the
decision was rendered. All of the negro
leaders will accept this view of the mat
ter. il their first consideration IS the best
interests Of their race. There are some,
however, who cannot fOTegO the opportu-
nity of bringing themselves into promi-
hence for the purpose Of making a little
capital for themselves. They want to hold
meetings. make speeches and get up an
agitation. They know, of course, that
agitation will not assist in securing
a re-enactmentOf the civil rights act, and
that legislation of that kind is no longer
possible. If asked to explain what
they hope to gain by agitation,
they would be at loss to give
satisfactory answer. If there is no
agitation respecting the decision the
great mass of the negroes will never have
reason to regret, or even to remember,
that the civil rights act is a thing OF the
past. Agitation, however, may change
the situation very materially. Ii ignorant
negroes are led to demand privileges to
which their condition does not entitle
them a feeling of hostility between the
races may be aroused, and negroes may
be restricted in the privileges they now
have. The negro leaders who are to meet
in Washington next Monday will show
more wisdom by advising the negroes to
turn their attention TO improving their
condition and preparing themselves FOR
whatever the future may have in store
for them than by advising agitation to
secure civil rights legislation. Time VIII
do more for the negro race than agitation.

This most remarkable statement was
made by Mr.. Frank b. Lee, clerk in the
office of n. Y. c. and III. Il. Il. r., Little
Falls, n. Y, ON the Sth of June, 1888.
Mr.. Lee says: 'EMy father has been
troubled for over 20 years with severe
kidney and bladder disease, suffering the
most acute pain when urinating. He be-
came so bad that he was obliged to give
up all business. His condition was such
that his urine would drop constantly,
and he was obliged to use a rubber bag,
the weakness was so great. He used
MANY kinds of medicine without deriving
any benefit, until he was urged by one of
our druggists in Little Falls Mr.. Skin
ner) to use Hunts Remedy, as he had
known of its being used in many cases
with great success. | purchased one bot
tie. and he commenced using it, and he
was so improved that he got along with
out the rubber bag. He used in all II
bottles. and it has entirely cured him.
Father is 81 years old, and we consider it
a most wonderful cure, and cheerfully
recommend Hunts Remedy to all affiict-
ed with kidney, liver or urinary troubles"
All the evidence published in regard to
Hunts Remedy can be relied upon; it is
true i'm every particular.

Mr.. II. l.. Soper, Principal Of the High
School at Poquonock, Conn, says in rela-
ton to matter which has given him
much anxiety and pain: "My wife and |

it really superior article. A year or SO
ago my kidneys became weak and slug

relief in Hunts Remedy l continued its

Mr.. ii. 5. Clark, Assistant Superintend-
ent of the High School, says: Il can GER
tify to the value of Hunts Remedy, hav-
ing received great benefit from its use.

The New York San says, in answer to
the suggestion that the South ought to
be represented on the Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket, that there is no sectional
reason why the nominee for Vice Presi-
dent. or even President, should not be a
Southern man. As a reason, however.
why a Southern man should not be nOmi-
mated. it saws: sWhen the Republicans
had control Of the South there was no use
in uniting up Southerner, for the Demo-
Gratis were not allowed to have their votes
in the South counted. Now that the South
is soIidly Democratic, there is no object
in putting up a Southern candidate, I'M
less he we're exceptionally strong in the
North. The south has many able and ex-
perienced statesmen, Of whom it is justly
proud, but none Of them would, 1t seems
TO us. be especially strong in the great
Eastern and " Western States"

Sornbum North and South.

II has been shown by numerous expert
ments that whatever successes have been
attained in the cultivation of sorghum at
the North, they have been surpassed, acre
for acre. in the Southern States, where the
climate gives more time for maturing, as
we'll as for the manufacturing processes.
That it is not cultivated here on as large
a scale as at the North, is due more to
the presence of crops that have thus far
proved more valuable than to a want of
appreciation of sorghum by our people.
In some sections it is gaining in favor, and
all the Southern territory north of our
tropical sugar cane belt will, in few
years more produce its sorghum sugar
instead of importing from foreign cOun-
tries. The experiments going on in New
Jersey are preparing the Southern as well
as the Northern people To enter with con-
tidence into the industry, since now the
problem of manufacturing good sOrgum
SUGAR Is considered as finally solved. A
party from Washington city, including
the Chinese Minister and his suite, visited
the Rio Grande. New Jersey, works last
week. and they are reported to have been
greatly astOnished at what was shown
them. Three hundred thousand dol
lars are said to be invested in
the business there, and 2,OOO,-0O0
pounds of sugar, which finds a ready
sale at Ga cents. is the yield expected
this season, besides about loo 1000 gal
Ions of syrup, which sells at II cents per
gallon. OF course, every part of the sOr-
ghum is utilized, from the valuable grain
to The bagasse, or dessicated stalks, and,
adding the market value of these to the
more valuable sugar and syrups, the gen.
eral aggregate is reported to be creating
a boom in the sorghum business of New
Jersey. and very great increase of in
vestment of capital is expected. Now,
what we have to say about this Is, that
the Southern people, who have superior
climate, il not superior soil, for the prof
liable cultivation of sorghum, should not
permit New Jersey or any other Northern
State to mOnOpolize the sorghum sugar
business for century, as New Eng
land has the cotton business, and as
Pennsylvania has the iron and coal bust
ness, while our vast area of fertile lands
lie idle.
There should be inducements to bring
capital South, and as our Northern friends
are congratulating us upon at last getting
our eyes open, let us show them they
have not been deceived. There is no bet
ter sorghum growing region than Middle
and North Georgia, and some of the
largest yields OF sorghum in the South
have been reported from the light gray
soils in Southern Georgia.

Lately there has been a disposition on
the part of the newspapers to discourage
Arctic explorations. In these eXplora-
lions the loss of life has been great and
the expense has been enormous. The New
York Independent, however, takes a diff
ferent view of the matter. 1t says:
I'VE see respectable journals crying Oui
against the folly Of Arctic explorations.
The North Pole has got to be conquered.
We shall never be satisfied until we know
its secrets. The nations are laying siege
to it in steady advance. America has its
part To do. and must do it. Human life is
cheap, is not worth talking about when
there is this knowledge to be sought and
gained. Who will volunteer next"'
This is heroic, ofcourse. but the chances
are that the writer of it couldn't be in
duced TO become a member of an Arctic
expedition by a small fortune. Whatever
he may think about the cheapness of hui
man life, it may be accepted as certain
that he doesn't hold his life cheaply.

From the Warm Springs to Emigra-
ton Canon fault-scarps-that is TO say,
earth-fractures in the mOuntains-have
not been found, and the rational eXplana-
tiun of their absence is, that very long
time has elapsed since their last renewal.
In this period the earth-strain has been
slowly increasing, and some day it will
overcome the friction, lift the mountains
a few feet, and re-enact on "a more fearful
scale the catastrophe of Owens Valley.
The motion at the instant of yielding is So
swiftly and So abruptly terminated as to
constitute shock"

mon problem is SO indefinite it VIII proba-

The Chicago Tribune says that Sin 1866
the surplus of national revenues over
expenditures was 37,OO0,O0O; in 1874 it
was only S2,OOO,OOO; in 1881 it was over
SlOO. OOO. 900; in 1882 over Sl45,OO0,-
600, and in 1888 it was 1888, 000,-
900. The National Treasury Is bursting
with money. No wonder the Democratic
ofiiceseeker is eager for the spoils." The
Tribune calls this surplus in the Treas
urv s'spOiIs,7 and the inference is that its
party considers it "spoils." 1t would be
interesting to know how much of the
''spoils'' was used to buy the Presidency
in 1880. 1t is known that thousands of
dollars were distributed in new 81 notes
in Indiana. The Democrats want TO turn
the rascals out in order to prevent the
surplus from being squandered.
