status Of the Negro.

John r. Lynch, the colored poll
tician Of Mississippi, delivered an
address at Charleston, s. c., March
5, in which he spoke of the moral,
religious and educational status OF
the colored Americans. "In these
respects" he said, "the race has
made material progress, but could
have and would have made more
progress had the different religious
denominations among the whites
rendered them the necessary as
sistance. The efforts on the part
of the whites to aid the blacks in
these respects have been confined
almost exclusively to the cities and
towns, while the rural districts
have been comparatively neglected.
Still the race has made gratifying
progress"
The speaker touched upon the
labor question and admitted that
the race has less to complain
of in this respect at the south than
at the north, although the senti-
ment is more favorable at the north
than at the south. "This," he said,
lis due more to custom than to
race prejudice, the institution of
slavery being the foundation Of the
custom. Slavery being abolished,
the two races should now be upon
an equal footing in the field of la
Dor, according to skill and merit
The colored laborer is entitled to
receive the same protection and the
same rates of wages for like labor
performed that the white man re-
ceives. They should demand MOTH
ing more, and be satifed with Moth
ling less" $,
| Education is one of the most
pressing needs of the race and he,
therefore, hoped that some such
measure as the Blair educational
bill would be passed by the present
Congress.
The speaker then discussed the
race question at some length. He
commended that there is no such
thing as race issue; there is very
little antipathy between the two
races. The troubles at the south
are due more to political differences
than to race luminosity. The white
and colored people are bound to-
pether with ties of love and affec-
ton that cannot be destroyed. The
colored race is indebted to the
white race for the rights and privi-
leges they enjoy to-day. In con-
clusion he strongly condemned and
denounced all schemes looking to
the deportation or emigration OF
the colored people from the United
States.
1--WE are not wards" he said.
"but citizens; not beggers, but la
borers. The colored people neither
ask nor desire any financial aid to
support themselves or to assist
! them in going from one place to
another. All they ask is justice,
eqal rights and a fair chance in the
: race of life. If under such circum-
stances they cannot survive they
. will blame none but themselves"

The Eleventh Census.

A circular letter, inclosing two
schedules, has been sent to the
treasurer of Grant parish, with a
request that they may be placed in
the hands of the proper officers Tor
favor Of completion and return to
the census Office at the earliest
possible moment The inquiry
covers a period of ten years. In
order that the returns Of the elevnth
census may be complete and practi-
cally useful, the statistics called
for are absolutely necessary. Much
painstaking clerical labor and re-
search must be performed in order
to collect and enter the facts and
figures required.
We would impress upon those IN
authority the necessity for imme-
diate efficient action in the matter?
These gentlemen have already
shown great courtesy aud done
much in many ways to facilitate the
progress of census Investigations.
As servants of Grant parish resi-
dents, they will, by making special
effort now in behalf of the census
Office, gain for our parish a credit
able showing, as it deserves. II
they neglect the opportunity, OF
place obstacles in the way, the
record will, as matter of course,
be imperfect and contrast unfavor-
ably with that of other parishes.

Life to them is made wholesome by

Some business men measure the val
ne of an advertisement by the direct
returns they get from it, and after a
short trial withdraw 1t from the paper
on the ground that 1t does not pay.
The indirect benefits. derived from
keeping the name before the trade.
are out of all proportion to the direct
.Atnrns racaived- and the most success
full advertisers are those who keep
themselves SO constantly before the
trade that their names become as
familiar as household word. The
business man who does not let the
public know what he has for sale and
where it can be procured, will soon
find himself out of the race.
