What Prof. LangstOn Says.

The Washington correspondent of the
World interviewed Prof. Langston few
days age and gathered from him his views
concerning the negro problem in the South.
Langston is now contesting the seat of Mr..
venable in Congress. We have only space
for the following portion Of what Langston
said:
"Very soon the colored American, on an
improved sentiment north and south, will
be able to assert his rights, in the courts if
necessary. Even.in the halls of Justice pro-
scription has existed and it has been diff
cult for negroes to employ lawyers of good
standing to conduct their causes. But all
this is going to be remedied in due season,
not so much because of right as of neccs-
sity connected with the welfare of the whites
themselves The negro was declared free,
not because it was right, but because it be-
came a military necessity. So the ballot
wa. given to him because it was political
necessity. and DOW rights will be con-
coded tn him and sustained finally in the
courts, not because it is right, but because
of social. industrial and political necessities
involved in the case. The American negro
is the best representative of bis race in
the world In the British, West Indies be
has been free since 1884, but, with rare in
dlvidual exceptions. his progress and accom-
pishments have not been remarkable.
American contact improves all races, and
imperfect as that contact is in the case of
the negro, it operates with wonderful effect,
developing and improving him. While
various rnces seek hnnles in our country
and become, in fact, Americans, yet they
each retain their national and social pc
culiarities. So the negro will forever re-
main a negro factor in the population of
our country and as such he must be con-
sidered and treated"
The more intelligent negroes are begin
ming to learn that they are not under OBJ
legations to the Republican party to the de-
gree they have been heretofore taught for
party purposes, aAd have heretofore CHROME.

CHESAPEAKE OHIO PASSENGER STATION
The new passer ger station of the Chesapeake
d Ohio railroad in this city, which, with its
appurtenances. was thoroughly described in
the SPECTATOR few weeks since, has been
completed, and was opened for the accommo-
dalton OF the public on the 7th instant. The
entire arrangements are models OF comfort
and neatness, and for the rapid dispatch OF
business. Mr.. James Ker Jr.. the ticket agent
is ever ready, prompt. and courteous. and in
all that pertains to preparation tor boarding
the cars, and convenience and safety in leav-
ing them, passengers will realize real pleasure.
There is one trouble at our railroad stations,
which should be remedied. and now would be
a good time to commence on that line. II the
city ordinances do not give sufficient power
to the police officers. they should be clothed
with 1t from some proper source. to keep the
waiting rooms and platforms clear of boys
putting cigarettes. as well as of their unneces-
sary presence, for passengers and their friends
who are taking leave, or waiting TO receive
them. are constantly annoyed in that way.

Chemistry never achieved more decided
triumph than in the production of SOZO-
DON T, which is botanical preparation of
wonderous efficacy in preserving and beauti-
flying the teeth, rescuing them from decay,
and rendering them white as alabaster. It
is toilet luxury of which all should avail
themselves. The unpleasant odor commu-

Agriculture and Commerce.

VIEWS OF THE SPECTATOR" APPROVED.
The SPECTATOR, in its leaders of tHe last two
numbers in discussing the cause of depression
of farm products. presents some good points
for reflection. We are apt to hasten to conclu =
sions without first thoroughly examining all
the facts involved. Superficial views are often
misleading. Cause and effect must be first full
ly understood The second number brings to
view the true cause of depression THE nat
ural law of supply and demand is at this time
really governing the price of breadstuffs.
meats, dairy products, and forage to greater
extent than has been the case during the last
ten years. The trouble Is found to exist In
these facts: We have been increasing our
production and losing our markets. Enlarging
he supply and lessening the demand, are op-
erations in trade which soon cuts down the
price of products below remunerative values"
It has been q common error to look to the
State government for relief, when the u. 8.
Constitution Invests Congress with the power
to regulate commerce between the states and
the OUTSIDE world. Properly has it been stated:
'The controlling influences that will bring
greater prosperity to agriculture can be set in
motion by the general government. The mar
kets we must reach to secure that prosperity
are in foreign countries We ought to be sea

Total, tons. L Az 903 j, 9V
This shows a decrease of AZ 0Ss tons or 8 IL per
cent in the consumption of sugar during the
year, when compared with the preceding year,
which undoubtedly is attributable to the high
er prices which prevailed. The highest price
of granulated refined in New York was exc per
pound. and the average was 1880, which Is
higher than any year since 1888.
The prospect for the sugar supply in 1890 is
thus referred to by the New York shipping
lis:-
The prospect ofsupplies for the present year.
1890 indicates large increase In European beet
sugar. the estimate being AS. 900 tons, against
2764 457 tons last year. but not much increase
in the worlds product Of cane sugar. the esti-
mate being 1882 900 tons. against 1885, 63 tons
last year. making the worlds production ag-
gregate 5SO7 900 TONS against 5.lO4 $40 tons last
year. an increase of ovsr 10000 tons, which is
enough. should 1t be realized to discourage such
speculative manipulations As have demoraliz-
ed the markets during the past year. and to
keep prices on plane OF value low enough to
grea ly promote consumption. These estimates
are believed to be conservative. but there is a
possibility that they are too large. IS to the ag
Rregate, for unfavorable weather may yet cause
damage to the crop in Cuba and some other
countries. 1t will be observed that the esti-
mate is that there will be more than OOO OO9
tons Of beet suear produc ed In Europe In exces.
fine cane sugar available for export In all
