The Colored People at the EXPOSE
ton,


The determination of the managers of
the New Orleans Exposition to give the
eolored people chance to make a sepa-
rate exhibit, showing the advancement
they have made since they became free,
is being very generally commended North
and South. The idea of this separate ex-
hibit originated with the Director General
of the Exposition, and is another evidence
of his fitness for the responsible and bur-
densOme position which he fills.
There is no intention, of course, to
make a distinction between white and
black exhibitors. The aim is to show, as
clearly as it is possible to show, what the
cOlored people have done and are doing to
better their condition.
1t is gratifying to note that leading col
ored men in the South are showing pro-
per appreciation OF the motives which In
fuenced the managers of the exposition
to make a special effort in behalf of the
colored people. They are already moving
in the matter, and there is every reason
to believe that the colored peoples ex-
hibit will be an attractive feature of the
exposition.
Those who have the best interests of the
South at heart recognize the fact that the
prosperity Of the South depends largely
upon lifting the coloTed people to higher
plane of civilization. 1t is probable that
the white and black races will have to
dwell together in the South always, and it
is certain that they will have a great in
fluence for good or evil upon each other.
The influence Of the ignorant millions Of
! cclored people is certainly not beneficial
to the white people, ami unquestionably
there is danger in it.
To secure the greatest possible develop
ment and progress in the South it is ne
! cessary that the colOred people should be
made self-respecting and taught that the
cultivate thrift, economy and morality,
and to seek higher grade of intelligence.
There is no better way to teach them
| such things than by cultivating in them
feeling of emulation.
By giving them a chance to make a sep
arate exhibit their attention will be
drawn to the exposition not merely as a
/ place where amusement can be obtained
/ and curiosity satisfied, but also as place
/ where the evidences of the advancement,
/ intelligence and civilization of other races
/ can be seen.
! They will see their progress compared
/ with the progress of other races, and they
4 will be led to make greater exertions to
/ improve their condition.

structive fires many years to strip the
land completely naked.
Now is the time for the Southern States
to take some steps for the preservation OF
their forests. In few years it Will be
too late. II may be urged that the state
has no right to interfere with private
property. But have individuals the right
to so use their property as to bring ruin
on those in their vicinity Of course, the
States would not adopt harsh measures
that would interfere with private prop
erty in a way that would lessen
its value, but they might make
it unlawful to completely destroy
the forests on land that is not
intended to be used for agricultural pur-
poses, and might require the planting Of
trees in places that are not cultivated.
1t is more profitable to thin out trees in
forest than it is to cut down every tree
without regard to whether it can be profit
ably sawed into lumber or not. This
question respecting the preservation of
the forests is destined to assume much
larger proportions than it has yet.

Even in the most denseIy Populated
countries it is no longer a question
whether railroads can compete with
canals. The Erie canal is as free as any
river in the country and yet its traffic is
steadily declining. The tolls on the Cana
dian canals have been greatly reduced
and vet they do not carry enough freight
TO the ports to load the steamers. The
mania for digging canals, except ship
canals, appears to have been cured. The
railroads owe their success to the demand
for rapid transit and the great reduction
in the rates Of freight that has taken place
IN the last few years. The prospects are
that what used TO be considered some Of
the most Indispensable canals in the cOun-
srv will soon be abandoned.

testified that not only was their faith

the Creator has seen fit to work. On the
other hand, the unbelievers were united
in the assertion that science was directly

Yesterdays Fire

About half past three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the livery stable, on Market
square, owned by Mr. R Coyne, was discov-
cred to be on fire. A fire alarm was raised
and all the hose companies were soon on
the spot, as also were about five hundred
of our people, but it was impossible to
save the barn, from the fact that it con-
tanned so much combustible material
hay, straw, etc. The firemen worked hard
and did their duty nobly, and 1t was all
that they could do to keep the back
building adjoining the stable from burn
ing. Even as 1t was, the roof of the
building caught fire, and had it not
been for the arduous exertions of
the fire laddies the building would
have gone to the ground. During the
fire woman who was living in the up
stairs of the back building, ran down the
stairs and reaching the street entrance fell

was close by picked her up and took her
in to Bengston's drug store, where she
soon revived. Her name is said to be
Mrs. J. H. Miller, but no one seemed 10
know where she came from or how long
she has been living up stairs. The loss
caused by the fire is estimated at between
$70O and $780, amply insured. 1t was q
very fortunate thing the wind was moi
blowing yesterday, also fortunate that we
had such efficient fire companies, or the
loss might have been greater.
The loss sustained by Messrs. Kelly &
Martin amounts to about $500, fully Gov
cred by insurance. This firm had not
been in business in this city over two
weeks Nobody seems to know how
the fire originated, as there has been nc
fire in the building for the last month
In all probability the barn was set on firt
by spark from an adjacent building.

and by dint Of great persuasion succeed
ed in inducing him to 90 to the station

debauch. As he is poor, helpless blind
man no charge will be preferred against
him, but he will be taken care of until
tomorrow, when he will be turned loose
