Mr.. Moody and the Negroes.

Evangelist Moody has more than the
average amount of common sense in his
make up. This is one of his chief chars
acteristics, and he has never shown it
more plainly than during his present se-
ries OF meetings in the cities OF the far
South. The question at once arose when
he was in New Orleans and Galveston and
Houston and other cities, "What shall
we do with the negroes?" There was no
doubt that they needed converting quite
as much as their white brethern: but
what should be done about inviting them
to the meetings? Mr.. Moody refused to
do anything. He insisted upon leaving
the arrangements to the local committees
in the cities he visited, and the result
was that in some places certain part of
the hall was reserved for the colored
people, in others they had exclusive use
Of the hall at certain hours, and In Others
the evangelist went to the negro churches.
There was some complaint because the
meetings were not thrown open to black
and white alike, and because the colored
ministers were not invited to sit on the
platform with the white preachers. The
evangelist paid no attention to this. He
said he was just as glad to preach the
gospel to a black man ass white man,
but he did not teel that it was any part
Of his mission to 60 to Southern cities
and try to settle the great race question.

they have previously had in the public

a year ago. His words weigh all the
more in consequence of such attitude
1t viii do good to the president, as wei
as 10 the Republican leaders, to have
such heroic uttennces backed by sucl
an array of facts and precedcnts. 1t is
a touch of craftsmanship even in the

of reference for every library, large or
small, u Trustworthy guide to what is
most worth knowing of the literature
of ages and all nations. Occupying a
dozen or more volumes, and yet issued
at price so low as to be within the
reach of all, familiarity with its con-
tents will constitute liberal education
to degree that can be claimed for few
other works in existence. DIR. Los
SING, the eminent historian and author,
says of it: II am strongly impressed
with the great intrinsic value of the
l
work as a popular educator in a high
department of learning. The plan is
admirable. Combining as it does q
personal knowledge of an author with
specimens of his or her best literary
productions, gives it an fnestimablc
power for good among the people,
The work is being published in parts
of 100 pages each, paper covers, at the
price of 10 cents, also in very handsome
cIoth-bound volumes, gilt tops, $50 pa

ced bill for "railroad commission"
and also q "ehort haul BILL and, with
others, made gallant and vigorous
fight for their enactment into laws. Both
these bills were copied, almost word for

Connecticut, New York and many 9th
er states, that recognize their obhga-
ton to protect their citizens, even the
humblest, against the greed, eXactions,
unjust determinations and expressions
of soulless corporations. Wherever
tried these laws have given universal
satisfaction; and, while depriving the
railroads of none of their just rights,
have given justice, protection and sccu-
rity to the people. These bills ought 10
have been promptly passed, as the peo-
pie everywhere desired. But there was
lust one obstacle in the way. Gov.
Smith said "no!" and, under his lead,
the Central Vt. aud other railroads
combined, the alarm was sounded, and
the Gree Pass Brigade" swooped
down on the capitol Ike the locusts OF
Egypt and promptly deyoured all the
marrow in the spinal columns of th'
peoples lawmakers. As usual since

won the fight. This year these bill
will come up again, and the farmers ant
working men, who are vitality interest

Gov. Smith is really bigger than tn
