The COlOred Race.

For the benefit Of all classes, and es'
pecially our colored friends, we publish
the following which we clipped from the
Memphis Avalanche of last Monday.
"They own farms, mills, mines, shops
and stores, large printing establishment,
patents, manufacturing establishments,
orange groves, coastwise vessels, hotels,
ranches, short car line, a railroad and
stock of all kinds; they are merchants,
traders, brokers, printers, farmers, specu'
lators manufacturers, inventors, mechan
ics-in fact, we have representatives in
all trades and professions in Louisiana.
The colored race pay rs per cent. OF the
taxes, owning $91,OOO.0OO worth ofprop-
erty. In South Carolina they own So.
100000, in Alabama $12,0O0,000 and in
the United States S250,O00,00o. In
Kentucky the colored citizens own 2OO,-
1000 acres of land, 5000 town lots,
$4,000 head of stock, the whole valued
at $4,000, COO. Their private fortunes
range all the way from $4,000 to ST.

After many attempts and repeated
failures, the Legislature has passed an
act repeating sections 29O1 and 1902 Of
the Code. Section "00l made it grand
larceny for person to steal any article
over the value OF ten dollars, OF cattle
sheep or hogs of any age. The act thar
has Just been approved, raises the amount
to twenty-five dollars, and strikes out all
that part that refers to cattle sheep or
ogs. This abolition of the section so
we'll known as the "pig law" will an
nually relieve the penietntlary of :wo
hundred and fifty convicts or more. We
are clad that the law has been repealed
1t will serve as factor to settle the much'
vexed penitentiary question, and will, ir
our Judgment be the means to return tht
convicts to the care of the State
Section 2902 is so amended as to make
the stealing of any article under the
value of twenty-five dollars petit larceny
extending the term of Imprisonment
from three to twelve months, within the
discretion of the court, one hundred dol
lars remaining rs the maximim fine

The Farmers Alliance.

The Jackson Clarion-Ledger says
ssThere have been organized in as many
States, twelve State Alliances, with an
aggregate membership of one million five
hundred thousand. The .rowth of the
Alliance has been wondl lily phenomi'
nal. The first lodge having been organ
lied July 30, 1879, by active operative
farmers, in the South and West, they
already have tanneres, stores, cotton
yards, mills, factories, and an exchange
of their own, the latter located at Dallas,
Texas. The city of Dallas, Texas, made
a cash donation alone of $4,000, besides
donations of la1ds, ETC., amounting in
value to $54 900 in money, for the pur>
pose of securing the location of the head
quarters of the Alliance Grange in tha'
city. They also-have a. press of their
own in each State, where there is a Staue
Alliance to look after their interests"

J. W, BUCHANAN Dear Sir: In the
last issue Of your paper notice call
on the people of Grenada county for an
organized effort, at once to hold a coun-
tv fair next fall l was pleased to see
this call, and have often wondered why
our leading men had not given this sub
ject more consideration. | believe the
effort would be heartily approved and
seconded by the masses OF the people.
But in every small or great enterprise
there must be one or more leading spir-
its, and it is the custom to look 10 The
county town to put the ball in motion.
and by far the most potent factor in !
such enterprises is the county paper. SO
Mr. Editor, see your leading men, urge
them forward to organized effort, talk it
up in your paper. Our county should
not lag behind other counties in the
State in matter OF such vital impor-
tance to our industries. We have IS
many facilities as any county in the State.
We have soil capable of as much and
varied productions as any other county
in the State. The interest in breeding
and stock raising has increased astoniSh-
inglv. We have men Of means and
intelligence to direct any enterprise they
NAV undertake; and Grenada, with its
superior advantages as to location, and
the push and progress which every day
mar ks the steady and permanent i'm
provament OF our town, | can see moth
ing in the way OF a. county fair, highly
cieditable to our people next fall A
word Of stimulus to the'country people
through your paper show them the di-
rect benefits obtained by a competitive
show Of farm products, poultry OF all
kinds, horses, mules and cattle. Present
all these things and you will arouse an
interest that will lead to successful or.
ganzation, and, trust to an annual ex.
| hibit thereafter, WHAT SAY You?

REPLY TO Nj. L. COOPER.
MERIDIAN, MISS, Feb. II, 1888.


EDITOR SENTINEL: hope you will do
me the justice to allow space Tor reply
to an article which appeared in your is
sue of February II, over the name of M.
f Cooper, purporting to be Il comment
on resolution offered in the Annual
Conference of the NJ. E Church recently
neld in your town, against secret orders,
by the writer Mr.. Cooper refers to
Martin Luther's dream Of throwing ink
at the devil I suppose Luther threw
profound thoughts, ideas and sanse with
MS ink. This all men are not capable OF
doing. If MIR. Cooper fails to hit the
devil as far as he did my resolution he
will never be frightened The resolution
was: "Whereas, Secret Ordcrs are proy-
ing detrimental to the financial and spir-
itual interests Of the church; Resolved,
That it is the duty of the ministers of
this Conference to oppose them by pre-
cept and example in private and in pub
lie" This Is d fair synopsis Mr.. Coop
er says all secret societies are bssed upon
the Christian faith" Christian faith
places a man in the divine path with his
face homeward, but the most OF these
fellows are in the other path with Their
faces the other way. Have they Chris
tian faith? The gentleman insists that
the world is in debt today to secret so,
cieties for the Holy Bib'e." | have
heard ministers who wcrs members ofsc
cret orders say that we are in debtto God
md the Christian church for It. See
how Satan divides against himselI--a
| mistake he seldom makes If had space
| could give the history OF the Bible as
we have it laid down by the best aud
wisest men that ever used Il pen. These
men give no credit to secret societies foI
the preservation of this sacred book
This the gentleman says I cannot under
stand; that is to say, as | am not a mem,
Der can know nothing OF them, and
therefore have no right to give my
Judgment. According to this theory it
would be necessary for a man to become
member OF torment before he is prepar
ed to warn men against the danger OF
going there. Mr.. Cooper doesn't seem to
| understand what meant by the words,
'Man cannot serve God and mammon."

EDITOR SENTINEL:
Reading the correspondents between

Capt. John Powell and W. W. Perklns,
of Batesville, in regard to the no fence
law, is Just what good many, 1t not
three,fourths, OF the farmers in the Fork
wants, and by trial of the same | am
of the opinion the remaining parts would
also favor no fence. The land holders
can fence pasture for his tenents for
much less than they can to have rails
made to fence his farm, By this state
of things every man would know where
his stock was. Say that Jet the stock
be turned out the 18th of November ol
the lst of December, and then closed the
18th of February, so the hogs car
gather the acorns aud the peas in thl

WHAT SHALL 1T BE?

Since the election the Cincinnati Com
mercial-Gazette has been suggesting a
line of policy to be pursued by the Re-
publican party when it shall come into
the full control of the government,
which suggestions the Dayton Journal
declares to be little less than revolution
airy in their spirit and tendency, as
viewed in contrast with the plans and
purposes of the party as interpreted by
the Journal. The C.-G. in turn claims
to be planted squarely ON the party plat
form in all that it has said. Touching
the question of revolution and in ex-
PLANTATION of its position it says:
We will tell you what our revolutionary
program IS 1t is to induce. persuade and
cajole the Democracy, for their own sake,
to aid in the revision and reform of the
tariff by the passage as speedily as posi-
ble-so as to begin the new year with it
OF the senate bill, and to assist in the i'm
mediate admission, that a reproach may
be removed from themselves of South Da-
kota. These measures will settle the
country, and the Democracy can partici-
pate in the credit. Then Harrison will
have nine months to mature measures be-
1i-o iiit'AS al "uoiooS o,It oho Hlob
of his messages TO congress. We trust the
Dayton Journal would not insist upon
thunder-storms with hail throughout all
that seed time.
The line of policy to be pursued by
the Republican party is the all-important
question Of the hcur. Upon that de-
ponds in large measure its success in ad-
the government for the best
of the whole people and conse-
Quently the party's continuance in con-
troll. The details of the policy may be
to some extent detachable, but if we I'M
derstand the sentiment of the party at
large it must be at least in harmony
with the spirit of the Cincinnati papers
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1888-11-17
TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES.
Elsewhere in this issue of the EAa

Elsewhere in this issue of the EAGLE
will be seen two measures that will be
submitted to the next session of the
state legislature for enactment into law.
The first is an act to encourage the es-
Enlistment of public watering places
for stock along public roads and high
ways outside Of incorporated cities; and
the second. to encourage the planting
and care of shade or forest trees along
public roads and highways outside of in
corporated cities. This EAGLE heartily
endorses these measures, being in its
judgment both opportune and judicious.
They cannot fail to commend them
selves to every public spirited citizen of
the state. 1t is a great undertaking, to
be sure, but is in perfect accord with the
spirit of enterprise and progress that
pervades the community. With our
public thoroughfares shaded and
watered as provided in the proposed
measures Kansas would indeed be par
adise alike to the citizen and traveller
The effects such improvements would
have upon our climatic conditions
would be no less marked and beneficial
than the beauty added to the landscape
would be gratifying. But these and
ether benefits will suggest themselves
to the reader without further comment.
The draft of the measures is the work
of Mr.. A. A. Hyde, of Wichita, one of
city's most intelligent and public spirited
citizens who enjoys the full confidence
of all who know him.

TIMELY READING FROM THE CYCLIC.
PEDIA.

In its Monday afternoon issue, in place
of the usual leading editorial article, the
New York Sun gave its readers a half
column OF extracts from the American
Cyclopedia under the general caption.
"Select Readings for the Hour
In the first of these extracts the fact
is set forth that IAN abundant LAYER Of
adipose tissue" is IAN effective protec-
ton against external cold" The second
relates that after March 4, 1861, Mr..
Buchanan retired to his home at Ian
caster, Pa, and took no part thereafter
in public affairs. In the third the read
er's attention is invited to ''the RHYTHM
of evolution and dissolution The fourth
chronicles the fact that Mr.. Fillmore took
no prominent part in public affairs after
leaving the white house. The fifth ad-
monishes persons having an unusual
tendency to fat to try running, jumping
on the spring board, and movements
which shake the body. In the sixth it is
related that Mr.. James Monroe. after his
retirement from the presidency, was
chosen a justice of the peace. The
seventh tells about the experiences of
Mr.. John Adams after the Inaugural
ton of President Jefferson: ''Never did
q statement sink more suddenly. at a
time when his powers of action and in
clination for it seemed wholly unimpair-
ed, from leading position to more alb
solute political insignlficance. The
eighth records the fact that censorship
of the press never hourished in this coun-
try, and the ninth pronounces the burial
of supposed dead men who are really
living a much more infrequent and inn,
probable occurrence than nervous people
fancy. The premature burial of single
person." says the cyclopedia. "must be-
if it happen at all, the result of mex
cusable haste or carelessness.
AS Mr.. Cleveland peruses these selec-
tons from his favorite work, he will be
at no loss to detect the point, and the an
linus. The late UNITED Democracy"
rather slow of comprehen-
sion,-will probably succeed in catching
on.
