THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

Slaves before the war rarely worked
willingly. and II was not TO be supposed
that With emancipation they would al
once become industrious and frugal As
q matter OF fact they haven't, AT least
in the South. By nature they we're in
that section a happy-go-lucky set, and
even today. with freedom, the majority
continue 70 be as careless and IMPROVE
dent as they were when at stroke the
law converted them from chattels to
free men
In spite Of the fact. however. that
many OF the negroes remain shiftless
and indoIent. n marked Improvement IS
noticeable when comparing the eondi-
lions OF twenty years ago with those ex-
listing now. The negro did not become
industrious and money-sayer at once
upon becoming free. but he has made de-
cided progress in both these directions.
when the war closed the black people
Of the South were worth nothing, and
all that they have acquired has been the
accumulation of the last twenty-five
years. In Georgia their property hold
ings have more than doubled since 1870
IN that year they had what was assessed
at s5.768. 2s3. Now the valuation of their
property in that state is s12.94l, go. 1t is

year shows that more colored people are
becoming provident and self-reliant, and
that they are slowly, but gradually. los

distinguished them for 50 long time.

WHAT Ais THE PEOPLE?
The True Ca use of Most Physical Trou-
bles Made Perfectly Clear.

What are the principal ailments Of the
American people7"
The question was recently put by a
reporter TO DR.. Ephrairn Cutler, whose
name stands foremost in the ranks OF the
medical profession. His answer was:
"Bright's disease"
''The great increase Of this fearful mall
ady is attracting universal attention.
Everyone is anxious 10 know how ii IS
brought on. What causes il, Doctors"
The physician paused for few minutes
before replying, and then said: Il can
best explain that by very simple Illus
tration. Anyone who eats beefsteak knows
what is fat and what is lean Now, If the
muscle OF the steak is partially changed
10 fat ii is called fatty degeneration
In the same way. with the human body,
IL the kidney substance changes into
far, il is called 'Brtghts disease
Bright's disease is fatty degeneration, and
not one person in twelve IS free from
some form Of kidney or liver disease"
May ask If there is any cure OF these
cornplaints?~ the reporter inquired.
Yes" replied the doctor. there IS. II
people will only take the right remedy at
the right time As a rule. II is only when
they break down, lose appetite, find their
compilations sallow, constant white coat
ing on the tongue, and infiamed eyes, that
they suspect anything wrong. American
genius has found Il possible to arrest dis
eases Of the liver and kidneys and to posi-
lively cure Bright's disease. The dis
covery Of Warmers Safe Cure has been a
Godsend 10 the world. There are thou
sands Of men and women who are alive
today and are kept IN health entirely
through its use. This fact is now known
and admitted by physicians in every por-
ton Of the globe
The words of the doctor are true, and
they demand the serious consideration or
everyone who reads these lines. Bright 5
disease is, undoubtedly, the most alarm
ing Of all our modern diseases. II often
comes without warning, has few symp-
toms of it's own, but shows the signs of
almost all other complaints. Any man or
woman who is at all "out Of Sorts" should
not hesitate, for It is well known truth
that delays are dangerous"

SERIOUS QUESTIONS FOR CITIES.

There u no subject OF litigation IN th4s
state farther reaching or involving more
money than street grade assessments A
responsible newspaper VIII always be eau
tious in It's comments upon the adjudica-
ton OF causes, but matter such as this,
which affects almost every municipality in
the state, extends 10 thousands Of deiin-
quents and involves liabilities reaching In
10 the millions, becomes a natural subject
OF public comment. With no suggestion OF
criticism Of the courts which. as the duly
constituted tribunal for the construction Of
statutes. must be assumed TO have laid
down the law as It is. but only to cali the
attention of municipal authorities TO the
responsibilities they bear in the matter of
local improvements payable by district as
sessments, it may be well TO revert 10 some
recent decisions.
The law with reference to assessments
IS made up 10 a great extent Of precedents.
TWO streams Of decisions will be found
meanderng through the field Of jurispru-
dsnce One Of these is narrow and tech
meal. following always the interest OF the
property owner and carefully avoiding any
encroachment upon his lines wherever that
can be done whether they are based upon
honest resistance to oppressive taxation or
upon a shIfty and tricky evasion OF right
eous obligations. This is upon the principle
that the court CONSTITUTES the law and recks
not the consequences. The other stream is
broad clear and unduladng. yielding old
forms 70 the modern spirit Of progress;
spring4ng from the fountain head Of eternal
justice and tending 20 discrimination be-
tween protection 70 The oppressed and ex-
posture OF the fraud Who accepts benefits
and then seeks 20 escape liability for them.
Which OF these two streams shall flow
through the state OF Washington can
not be determined yet, for its first wa
tiers are only beginning to trickle within
our confines. and the source is not yet
disccrnihlc.
Some points are clearly established.
