That journal classes the first date as the slaye-labor and the second as tha white-labor period. The increase ia certainly creditable, as it IS undoubt- edly nearly twice as great as the growth m the population of the State. The change from slave to white labor, to which the News attributes thls in erase, Is entitled to the credit of a large part of 1t. An important DOT tiou ol it, however, is due to another change which went into effect two CT three years before the slavery regime ended.

AIDS TO CARDINAL MANNING.
The Right of SelfPreservation Over
rides All Law.


CHICAGO, Feb. l2.-In answer to letters
sent by the Chicago Times asking for the
views of Cardinal Gibbons and Of Arch
bishop Lynch, of Toronto, on Cardinal
Manniug's recent utterances on the rights
of starving man, Cardinal Gibbons writes:
81 am in receipt of your esteemed favor
asking my views in reference to the recent
utterances Of Cardinal Manning in favor of
the rights of the poor The particular sen
tence which has been so freely commented
upon is the following: Necessity has no
law, and n starving man has a natural right
70 his neighbours bread This sentence has
been placed in an unfavorable light because
1t has been wrested from It's context. When
read in connection with the entire article it
will commend itself to all who are guarded
by Christian ethics and principles of human
ity. The best defense that can be offered in
favor Of the Cardinals words will be found
in the production Of the Cardinals article,
which take the liberty Of inclosng.n
Archbishop Lynch's letter is as follows:
81 will answer your inquiry in few words,
being very much pressed for time In the
first place, | indOrse every word of the
proposition laid down by his Eminence, the
Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and |
am astonished that there can be any second
opinion about it. A man is bound by the
liISL law OF nature 10 preserve MS own lie,
and the man who prevents his saving his
life murders him
81 quote the words of st. Augustine-He
murders him. A man in shipwreck grasps
plank belonging TO another. The man
who takes the plank from him, unless to
save his own life, browns him, for he
grievously fails in charity, whose primary
law is: AS you would that men should do
10 you, do you also to them in like manner
His sin Is the same who snatches bread
from the mouth of starving man The
starving poor in Ireland during the famine
would have been perfectly justified in seiz-
ing on the food which was being conveyed
to other countries to be sold for the benefit
of the landlords. Archbishop McHale
openly announced this primary law of
nature. With respect TO the maxim,
Necessity has no law would say, 'Neces-
sity has a law That law is the first law of
nature, the law which imposes on every
man the obligation of saving his own life if
he can; and this law of necessity overrules
all positive enactment. No law deserves
the name of Law which prevents a mans
saving his own life

THE LIBERTY STREET PAVING.
Residents Ready to Engage in Legal
War With the CITY.

Residents Ready to Engage in Legal
War With the City.
The property owners and residents on
Liberty street have prepared a petition to
City Council, requesting that that street be
not paved with stone, as proposed The
petition sets forth that the street is one of
residences, and that paving it with stone
will make it a noisy thoroughfare, instead
of quiet street as now.
Nearly all of the residents, it is under
stood, are willing to bear their share of the
cost of asphalt paving and to risk the
chances of its durability. but if the city
will not use that material they prefer that
the street remain as it is
1t is stated that in the event of the Citv
Council attempting to pave the street with
stone, some of the residents propose to ap-
ply for an injunction restraining the city.
There is a generally expressed hope that
there will be no necessity for legal con-
fiict between the people and the authorities,
and that some means will be devised to car
ry out the original plan and use asphalt.
Liberty street con be made beautiful ave
nue. if the idea of grass plats with asphalt
roadways on each side of the row of trees
be carried out.

SALOONS NOT NTED.
Athens Well Satisfied With the Effects
of Prohibition.

ATHENS, GA, Feb. IA petition was
il circulation on the streets to-day for the
purpose of asking the Ordinary to call an
other election in Clarke county on the pro
hibition question. The petition did not
meet with very great success, as the citizens
are very much pleased with the two years
of prohibition. IL takes a ma ority of the
votes of the county to call another election,
and it is the opinion of many that cne-third
of the number could not be prevailed
upon to sign the petition. Athens is the
educational center of Georgia, and above
all things it should be free from offering
any inducements by which young men
would be led astray from their studies, or
anything which would so materially affect
their future life. The sentiments of the
merchants of the place are against
the petition, and those who are
eager TO bring saloons back to the city Will
find before they are well started that the
citizens propose keeping things dry. The
city authorities have just succeeded in
breaking up the blind tiger system, and the
citizens Of Athens are very anxious TO en-
joy in this sense n dry summer.
