THE COLORED RACE IN EVIDENCE

A feature of the Cotton States eX-
position which is certain to attract II
great deal of attention is the exhibit
made by the colored race. 1t is the first
fair at which that race was ever con
~spicuously represented, and ii has there
IL separate building for the display of
the products of negro industry, inge-
nuity and skill. Such Il recognition, by
the projectors of IN exposition of south
crn resources. of the attachments of
the colored race is certainly striking
evidence of an improved sentiment
toward those people, and it is made
stronger by the fact that Il colored ora-
tor, Prof. Booker T.. Washington. took
part in the opening exercises. This
would seem to justify the declaration
of Judge Speer, who made the princi-
pal address, that no race question eX-
lists. but if this be true of Georgia it
cannot be averred of every southern
South Carolina that question is being
used by democratic politicians to per
petuate their power.
In his address Prof. Washington said
that the recognition accorded the negro
race by the managers of the exposition
will do more to cement the friendship
of the two races than any occurrence
since the negroes received their free
dom. Not only this declared the
colored orator, but the opportunity
here afforded will awaken among Us
n new era of industrial progress. L.
norant and inexperienced, it is not
strange that in the first years of our
new life we began mt the top instead
of the bottom; that n seat in congress
or the state Legislature was more sought
than real estate or industrial skill; that
the political convention or stump speak
ing had more attractions than starting

is stimulating and encouraging, and If

Purposes of AtInntn's Fair.

New York commercial Advertiser.
1t is announced from Atlanta that the ex-
position has two purposes, first, the obvious
aim of showing the industrial growth of the
south, and second, "the burying Of dead
issues, and the drawing closer together Of
south and north" AS far as liberal pa
tronage of the show by northern people and
the meeting of the northern and southern peo-
pie can effect a burial of the dead issues,
they will be buried. 1t must be considered
that the people of the north care but little
about the dead issues. 1t is the southern
people who are disturbed by bitter memories.
The northern man is rather impatient of the
persistence Of southern hostility. and is some
what exasperated by the southern purpose
to establish the constitutionality and justice
of the southern secession which led to the loss
Of so many lives and so much money. The
evaporation in this case is because of the
implication and the frequent charge that
the northern patriot vas not a patriot. but
a mercenary, whose invasion of the south
was lawless. 1t is not to the taste of the
union soldier that the future historian shall
doubt the justice of his course and the sin
cerity of his patriotism.

BY marrying Miss Vanderbilt the young
duke of Marlborough will get the money h.
needs to maintain a state corresponding to
hia rank. BY becoming his wife Miss Van
derbilt will gain the distinction of admit
lance to the "Almanach de Gotha," whsre
only the very cream of the European arts
tocracy are enrolled.
Apart from this title. the young man, we
are told, has qualities, abilities, and a per-
sonality which OF themselves alone might
well attract to him feminine regard and con-
hdence; and Independently Of her rich me-
terial dowry, Miss Vanderbilt is a girl en-
bowed by nature with gifts and graces which
make fortunate the man who wins her for a
wife; but the marriage will be looked upon
by the public and actually It will be an al
lance made primarily for the attainment of
ends which on neither side are purely ro-
mantle. If hs were not a British duke and
she were not one OF the great heiresses OF
the world, their betrothal would not have
occurred. The form OF its announcement and
the particulars published concerning it sug-
gest the royal matrimonial alliances ar
ranged for reasons of state by diplomatic
negotiation. To borrow the terms OF our
politics. the candidates for matrlmony put
themselves in the hands OF their friends to
settle the preliminaries and adjust the con-
sideratlons; and not until these had been
fixed and formulated was the treaty OF mar
riage completed and confirmed.
