THE NEGRO SOUTH AND NORTH.

The Southern people have always asserted
that, in spite Of the professions and deRialsof
the North the most considerate and thought
full friends of the negro race were to
be found in this section. As time passes the
truth of this assertion is being confirmed and
illustrated The Northern negroes them
selves are showing a growing disposition to
admit its correctness.
Recently a prominent negro Of Indiana
made tour through the Gulf States with
view of examining in person the condition of
his race in that part of the South, and his con-
illusions were highly favorable. In letter
which he addressed to the indianapolis Free
man. the leading negro organ of the West. he
thus gives the results Of his observations:
II saw work usually done in Northern
cities by the Irish" he writes. here divided
between the negro and the white man. 1t re-
minds me Of our Sunny South; here we have
no trouble in that respect; we work at the
various arts and trades, we labor side by side
with out white brother, contract and conduct
all kinds Of business. We split when it comes
to equal accommodations in public places.
IT. the cities have visited north of the Ohio
river have found no trouble in this respect.
l foundit not question of color, but OF ability
TO pay.
Since arriving at my home and comparing
notes on the North with our condition here in
the South. l have decided there is much to do
North TO make it good place of residence for
the negro as there is South. The difference
l see in the two sections is, North you have
secured to you your rights as citizen to
all public places, conveyances, etc; in the
South you do not; in the North you have or
gained bodies of the poor classes of whites
in the various trades who allow no negro TO
work with one Of their number The result
is. he is entirely shut out. not having the capt.
tai or sufficient numbers of negro mechanics
to compete with his white brother; in the
South we do not have these organizations to
contend with. plainly see this, the negro
as a whole. must, if they wish to receive that
recognition which is due them as free Ameri-
cans. accumulate real estate and money. cul-
tiyate their morals and intellect. When this
is done. we can find or make q good place
anywhere"
Omitting from consideration few charac-
teristic extravagances, these statements of an
intelligent Indiana negro may be heartily COM
mended TO the attention of those of our
Northern friends who still dilate on the evil
conditions surrounding the negroes Of the
South.

II has at last been announced that the AL
lance between France and Russia has been
perfected in all it's details. OF moro unna-
tural union of deposition and democracy his-
tory has no record SO insincere an alliance
can have no permanency or value, declares
the Philadelphia Record. A republic resting
upon universal suffrage and public opinion
cannot act in hearty concert with despotism
in which the people have no voice and public
opinion has no existence.

Two Blind Men.

There were once in Rome two blind men.
one of whom cried in the streets of the city,
He is helped whom God helps" the other,
on the contrary cried. He is helped whom
the Emperor helps" This they did every day.
and the Emperor heard it so often that he
had loaf Of bread baked filed with golden
pieces.
This .gold-flled loaf no sent 10 the blind
man who appealed to the Emperors help.
When he felt the heavy weight of the bread
he sold it TO the other beggar AS soon as he
met him. The blind man who bought the
bread carried il home When he had broken
it and found the gold he thanked God. and
from that day ceased to beg. But the other
continued TO beg through the city, so the
Emperor summoned him TO his presence and
asked him. What hast thou done with
the loaf that lately sent your" II sold it 70
my friend because il was heavy and did not
seem we'll risen" Then the Emperor said:
Truly he whom God helps is helped in
Decd" and turned the blind man from him.

The controversy over the authorship Of
Beautiful Snow" is still as lively as ever,
but as if this was not as heavy burden Of
this character as the American mind could bear,
here has arisen another wrangle, with the
authorship of different poem for its object.
The supreme question now is. who wrote
"Stonewall Jackson's Way" DR.. ]. w. Pal
mer, Of Baltimore. claims it. So does Mr..
Edward King, of Petersburg, and both are
showing the characteristic frmness of their
hero in standing like stone walls in support Of
their antagonistic claims. The same fate, it
will be remembered. befell the authorship Of
All Quiet Along the Potomac" but we hope
that in the instance of "Stonewall Jacksou's
Way" either Mr.. King or DR.. Palmer will
make good his pretentions. This thing of
another famous poem thrown upon the para
graphic world without q recognized pater-
nifty will destroy the last remnant Of patience
which las been left by the dispute about the
authorship of Beautiful Snow" who was the
author of Junius and who was the man in the
iron mask?

Juvenile Delinuuents.

An important question in American social
life is presented by the Census Bulletin which
relates TO the inmates of juvenile reforma-
tories in 1890. Dividing the United States
into South Atlantic. North Atlantic Western
and South Central divisions. the bulletin
gives many significant statistics The total
number of inmates of juvenile refOrmatOries
reported in 1880 is Il. $40 an increase 0f 3,37S.
or %. As per cent over the number reported in
1880. peculiar feature OF this increase Is
that the largest per cent Of the rlso IN number
of inmates is that of girls. Ten years ago
the percentage Of girls was 1927 of the total
number now it Is 22,30 per cent: but Of the
total number II ,595 juvenile delinquents are
boys and 3. 81 are girls. It'll a sad commentary
upon the care taken Of American youth that
there are a little more than five times as many
girls in refOrmatorles, IN proportion, as there
are women in penitentIaries. Statistics which
present view II the nRtionalIties of reforma-
tory inmates are valuable. The tables show
that r. JOB inmates are white and ,g43 cOlOred.
The foreign population Is seen 10 contribute
directly or indirectly IN the persons OF the
foreign born or Of their immediate descend
ants 5S5i.5 10 the population OF the juvenile
ref0rmatOrles, while the entire native pOpula-
ton contributes only 37265. OF the L. 902
white juvenile delinquents, .07S are native
born, but the parentage of q large proportion
of native dellnquents Is foreign born. New
York leads the number OF inmates Of juvenile
retOTmatOrles with 3,6T5' Massachusetts IL
fifth on tho list with 69S. The last
States in number of delinquents are Maine.
Colorado, New Hampshire. Louisiana. Ner-
mont and Delaware IL is 10 be remem-
bered that many States of the North Atlantic
division and ali but two Of the North Central
division possess these institutions for the
delinquent youth. 10 is significant that the
total Increase of inmates is more than . per
cent more than the increase in population.

A good many years ago the late n. p Willis

the Jews of that place. while the authorities
quietly looked on. The Gear may regard this

his tyranny. Then, perhaps, be will not
