sSfre, the editor of the Demo
Ratio Review, seems to be impress
ed with che fear that the discus
sion of the race question, which is
| Just now a favorite theme with the
thinkers of this time and country,
will result in some great injury 20
the negro. With a laudaOle desire
TO shield Esour brother in black"
from the Vaccinations and aggres.
sions which threaten bis rights
and liberties at the hands of the
white man he rushes to his defence
with an artlOr which appears to in
crease with each issue of the Re
view. It IS not the purpose of
this article to discuss the race is
sue, except to remark incidentally
that the problem which it presents,
intricate and delicate though it be,
is Just as sure OF solution as truth
itself, Nor does its settlement de>
pend upon, educational quslifica>
tons, legislative enactments, or
state or national constitutions.
The force which will bring il
about is as immutable rs it is in
exorable. 1t is not bassed on
theories or governed by sentiment,
check for one moment its reSistless |
force, it he would. It is a law of |
nature which 0rdains that in the |
great battle 'sf life the weak shall |
succumb to the strong. 1t is the |
same stern law which has reduced |
to O mere handful Of wretched |
stragglers, the once mighty and |
numerous tribes of indians who |
peopletl the hills and valleys of
this great country. The white |
man, ever greedy for conquest, |
came. The two races could not !
lire together and share the rights
and duties of q common citizenship
and q conflict ensned. Ethical
principles, moral PHILOSOPHY, aud
considerations did not
figure in the contest.
History will repeat itself with
regard TO tho conflict between The
black and the white races i'm the
south. The negroes are no more
fitted for a joint ownership and
with the white man of
hrs country, than was the Indian
4 hAndretl years ago. His fate
will he the same. or else natures
avs win cease 10 be uniform.

M require but few obsarva-
s to demonstrate the almost
N6rthlessnesS of negro labor in this
State.
Before the war the average crop
of cotton per hand-men and wO-
men-was about ten bales. Now
on the same land, with as good
team, improved farming imples
ments, and much better methods
of agriculture, the same hands
make not more than three bales.
AS a general thing, tho negro as q
slave WAS not OverwOrked because
his physical condition was better
then than it ia now. Before the
war large cotton plantation on
the river in this parish, was the
source of a priDcely revenue to its
owners. Now with the articles
which planters consume as cheap
or cheaper, while those they pro~
duce-especially cOtton-are near
ly doubled in value, it IS burden,
which, IN large majority of cases,
drags the owner down to bankrupt
cy. Under such q condition of af-
fairs, even without the light Of ex.
perience as u guide, one might con.
tidently assert that it was impOs>
sible to make q living, much less
money, with such a system of la
Dor. Wealth Is the surplus of pro.
ductiOn over consumption. Labor
is the real producer, but where ihe
labOrer cOuSnnaea.-asAo'.~-.. - uo
F-Uuuccs as Is most certainly the
sase with the negro, of course
here can be no surplus, and hence
no wealth.
With these facts, staring as in
he face, who will defend negro la
Dor, except perhaps on the ground
hat It is all we havef
The negro is q curse to the South
n his present condition, whether
IOu view him from % social, politi-
,al or Industrial standpoint, and
ne will continue to be until natures
nove-on-ordinance shall free us
If his presence.

How to Take Leave.

Not all have learned the fine art of leave-taking in an appropriate manner. When you are about to depart, do so at once, gracefully and politely, and with no dallying. Don't say; Its about time was going, and then settle back and talk on aimlessly for another ten minutes Some people have just such a tiresome habit. They will even rise and stand about the room in various attitudes, keeping their hosts also standing, and then by an effort succeed in getting as far as the hall, when a new thought strikes them. They brighten up yisibly and stand for some minutes longer, saying nothing of importance, but keeping every one in restless, nervous state. After the door is opened the prolonged leave-taking begins, and every body in general and particular is invited to call Very likely a last thought strikes the departing visitor, which his friend must risk a cold to hear to the end What relief when the door is finally closedl There Is no need of being of- fensively abrupt; when you are ready to go-go.

Ono Secret of Longevity.

Those anxious to prolong this rapid transi- tory existence of ours beyond the average span, should foster his digestion, negatively by abstaining from indiscretions in diet, and affirmatively by the use of that peerless stomachic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, when he experiences symptoms of indi- gestion. The impairment of the digestive function is fatal to vigor. Subdue with the Bitters, also, fever and ague, biliousness and constipation.

IF one has lost by death ali the dearest and most cherished iptimacies of this life, then he must accept his situation as Providence has appointed 1t for him, and do the best he can with what Providence has left to him and for him, and should ask God to help him in turning the severe discipline to good spiritual account.

city and Tn this nation unless the Sabbath is observed" Those in our own country have given evidence on the same side. The man who takes down the shutters of his store on the Sabbath takes down the curse of the Almighty God. That farmer who cultures his ground on the Sabbath day raises a crop of neuralgia and of con sumption and of death. A farmer said: ''I defy your Christian Sabbath. I will raise a Sunday crop" So he went to work and plowed the ground on Sunday, and narrowed it on Sunday, and he planted corn on Sunday, and he reaped the corn on Sunday, and he gathered 1t into the barn on Sunday. "There," he says, "I have proved to you that all this idea about fatality accompanying Sabbath work is a perfect sham. My corn is garnered and all is we'll" But before many weeks passed the Lord God struck that barn with His lightning and away went the Sunday crop.
 So great is the moral depression com- ing upon those who toll upon the Sabbath day that you may have noticed of you have not, l call your attention to the fact) that in cases where the public interest de- mands Sabbath toll the moral depression is go great that there are but very few who can stand it. Fer instance, the police service, without which not one Of our houses would be safe-there are very few who can stand the pressure and the temptation of it. In London, where there are five thousand policemen, the statistic is given that in one year nine hundred and twenty of that five thousand were dismissed, five hundred and twenty five were suspended, and two thousand four hundred and ninety-two were fined. Now, if the moral depression be so great in oc- equations that are positively necessary for the peace and prosperity of society, ask you what must be the moral depres- sion in those cases where there is no necessity for Sabbath work, and where a man chooses worldly business on the Lords day just because he likes it or wants Co add to bis emolumentsf During the last war it was found out that those public works which paused on the seventh
