That was a signifcant remark of Sem
ator Sherman in the, Senate the other
day, that he thought perhaps it would
have been better had the amendment
giving the negroes, the suffrage not been
adopted. This was his conclusion after
an experience of twenty years. There
is no doubt that it was At the time dis
tasteful expedient to. the Senator and
many of those who acted with him. 1t
was not a measure calculated to pro-
mote the Immediate interests OF the
emancipated slaves, as they were utterly
ignorant and unfit for the duties in

1t was not such . policy IS Abraham
Lincoln would have favored. He would
have made the approach to that prerog-

was intole-ant, and its work is q final

The current census Will show a
greater disparity between population
and number of sheep than existed in
1880. In 1910 there were 1000, 900 more
sheep than people in the United States.
In 1890 there are, it is estimated 22,-
600, 900 more people than sheep.
Whatever else protection has done it
has not built up the sheep industry. 1t
has been demonstrated that no tariffs
can do this. The industry could scarce
~ decline more rapidly under a policy
of absolute tree trade than it has done
under the system of Chinese protection.

AN ABSURD REPORT.
Southern Congressman Will Not Treat
with Republican Revolutionists.


with Republican Revoutionists.
Commenting on an absurd report from
Washington of some sort CT ''dicker'
between the Republicans and some of
the Southern members OF Congress the
New York Times says:
THE fact is, and it is becoming more and
more plain every day, that the best policy for
the South is patience. Time is its great and
powerful ally. 1t has very little to gain from
any positive legislation and very much to gain
from waiting. 1t is slowly but surely settling
the race problem. Little by little at various
points it is learning how to divide the negro
vote. 1t was done last fall in Virginia in some
portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida,
and 1t can and will be done more and more as
time goes on. The day that it is recog-
nized in the North that division and not sup
preston of the vote of the negroes is the
poncy OF the South. the Southern question
VIII entirely disappear. Even now it has
SO far disappeared that the majority in
Congress will not be able, and will hardly
oare TO try to pass any election law directed
against the South alone, or capable Of being
worked against the South alone. The schemes
OF the leaders-the Chambers, Shcrmans, Reeds
are mischievous in appearance, but they are
vain. 1t would be very bad bargain for South
ern men to try to defeat them by making con-
ceSslons IN other matters, for they would have
every thing to lose and nothing substantial to
gain
The talk of concessions from South
ern Congressman is ridiculous. They
are not treating" with the Republican
revolutionists. The South is in the
Union: it is an integral part of it, it has
equal rights and equal duties. 1t is in
terested Just as the other sections in
sound legislation, and can pay its part
to the piper for saturnalian dances. 1t
proposes to protect its interests openly
and boldly, relying. on the American
people. 1t has no favors to ask of, and
none to give to, the Republican party
managers. Legislation good enough for
the North may be bad, truly, but we can
stand it as long as can any other
section.-Louisville Courier-Journal

The foregoing conversation took place
| between Jack Storrs and Smith, the
! florist. The frst-named gentleman,
! having tender regards for a certain
! young lady, had several days before
! Easter determined upon visit TO the
| horticulturist's to make sure of choice
! pick from the many fine blossoms on
sale there.
| He was exceedingly particular, as
/ most young men under similar circum-
stances are, and had ordered several doz-
en- Jacqueminots, her favorite flower.
| He paid the florists fat bill without a
murmur and departed, self-satisfed and
happy in the thought Of the surprise and
| delight with which MS fair inamora ia
would receive this thoughtful compli-
ment.
He lived in another world, almost.
for the remainder of the week. being
hardly able to wait until Sunday when
/. he could call and tell her the DID,. old
story that is ever new.
Al the florists Saturday all was hustle
and confusion. Not only were there
numerous orders to fill and deliver,
enough to Keep Bill, the errand boy,
busy all day, but the store was contin-
ually thronged with Heterogeneous
collection of humanity with a great di--
versity of tastes waiting to secure their
modest little parcels of nosegays..
The order in which we are particular
ly interested had been as carefully
packed as the great rush would allow
and Bill was receiving instructions as
to it's delivery, and was told to, step
lively, as another large box was await
ing delivery to its destination at the
other end of town. He started at a live
1y gait, but as the distance increased
between him and the store his speed
correspondingly decreased. However,
he was making good Roadway when
some one sang out:
Hello, Bill. Rather hustlin' to-day,
amt you? Jimminy, but yours is no
snap. What's you got in the box
posies? Let's have peep, won't YER?
The guvnor IL never know" (this with
sly wink and cunning chuckle meant
for the group of boys on the corner, and
indicating that he was proficient in all
the questionable arts of the street
gamin).
Bill, although acquainted with Dan,
and, boylike, admired questionable
accomplishments, knew his mother dis
liked him and was averse to his having
any thing to do with him. He also
knew his employer objected emphati-
cally to his lettering when sent on an
errand and really meant. to keep on
without stopping, when Dsn said:
Cant you hole up minnit, or is yer
gettin' so heightened yer can't talk to
yer old fren's what used to be good
enough to assocerate with? Use got
somethin' to show yez shat IL make

THE EASTER MESSAGE.

Once more the promise OF the spring,
The Quickening and awakening
Of sap and shoot,
And tender root.
Once more the miracle of birth
Along the length and breadth Of earth;
Once more the breath
OF life for death
Released again from winters doom
OF frozen days, from Lenten gloom,
We seem to stand
In some new land,
And fresh the breeze that blows abroad
That brings the message of our Lord,
The asenly breath
OF life for death
Oh. spirit folded i'll thy sleep,
Oh! soul long buried fathoms deei
Beneath tia old
Material mold
Fling off the load that, year by year,
Has vailed thy sight and dulled thine ear
And as the lark
Doth, soaring, bark
To Heavenly sounds SO hearken thou
To that low voice that calleth now
Across the dark.
Oh! wake and bark
The night goes fast. Oh, wake and pray,
For it's the dawn of Easter Day,
When HeaveE doth lift
Above the DRIFT
OF self and sense; when budding earth
Renews the parable of birth;
When Christ doth wake
With US to break
The bond of sense which is our pail,
Doth wake and wait while He doth call:
'Oh, here and now
Awaken thou
