Catholics Destroying Bibles.

OTTAWA, Nov, PA gentleman who
has just returned from visiting the prov
ince Of Quebec says that in one parish
after mass on Sunday morning he saw
several hundred Bibles publicly burned
on the square in FROM of the church at
the instance of the cure of the parish,
who had collected them from his parish
toner's. Agents from one of the Bible
societies have been selling large numbers
of the New Testament in this particular
part of the province, and aftei warning
his congregation against purchasing, the
cure went from house to house collecting
from those of his flock who had disobeyed
orders inthe books they purchased. The
Bible Society has now devised q scheme
by which they intend bringing the priest
before the court if +, attempts to repeat
his sacrilegious work. The agents of the
society will loan the Bibles to those de.
string them, writing within its covers,
"the property of"-tbe name of the agent
or society being filed in, who will then
be in position to prosecute should the
books be destroyed or taken from the
holder.

The Kansas Sugar Crop.

Kansas has for some years been paying
a subsidy of SO much per pound on all the
sorghum sugar made within its limits
While the industry thus created was of
small proportions, it psosPered just
enough to excite hope. With good,
we'll matured cane and favorable condi-
tions generally the farmers had, in fact,
it semed, chance to make some money
out of sugar-so long, at least, as the
subsidy lasted The people of Attica
bonded the town for SIS 500 to build the
mill. The town of Liberal did the same.
Four other towns borrowed smaller sums
to 20 into the cane business. The acreage
10 cane was largely increased. The result
is disastrous failure. Very little of the
cane this year reached maturity, Kansas
being rather far porth to have climate
suited to sugar. Some say the season was
too wet, others say it was too dry. The
fact is that no amount of protection"
and more open subsidy will make sugar.

Charleston contemporary the reproach Of

intended originally as simply personal

Tho Negro is there to Stay.

RICHMOND, Nov. 15.-To.day, before
the Virginia Methodist Conference,
Bishop Halsey, of the African Methodist
Church, created. q stir and won applause
By speech. He is negro, and VAS
formerly slave. His address was in
behalf of the Payne Institute of Augusta,
where young colored men are educated
for the ministry. In the course of his
remarks he said:
"We are part of you, so far as Chris
tian work goes. am for God, for home,
for native land, and I was born here.
The colored man has claim on you. He
is the rnudsill of society. Years ago he
helped to build your railroads, cleared
your forests, worked your farm and for
years has lived with you.
"Some people talk about sending the
negro away. If any of you want to go
you can do 80. I am already colonized
here. The question is not whether the
white man is better than the negro, but
whether the negro can be made good
Christian. I can we'll remember when
our master went to the war and remain
ed at bone and protected his family.
And there is MANY man here Who was
reared by black nanny"
Referring to the frequency with which
the members of the colored Methodist
Church vote the Democratic ticket. he
said: ri generally vote as pray. do
not see why a colored man should not BE-
a Democrat as we'll as anything else.
There is SO much rascality in both parties
that it is hard to tell sometimes how to
vote. The negroes need church in ite
purest sense without Republican or Dem.
ocratic policy. We want your image and
superscription upon this work. The
country is yours. The negro is here to
atay aud you must Cbrislianize him
