An Interesting feature Of the forthc0m-
ing Atlanta exposition. and one that de-
serves announcement. VIII De- the coIored
peoples exhibit There is % b. . large
b-iidlns scr apart especially for exhib-
lts hy them. The department IS 10 be en-
trely in their hands. and it is hoped and
expected that they win make IL one Of the
most entertaining and important in the
grounds. Their exhibits should show the
history Of the progress Of their race dur
ing the past quarter Of a century. and
illustrate their attainments in the crafts
and arts and sciences.
Five comm =sione-s from each Of the
southern states viii have the direction
n affairs during the exposition. Prior TO
that time the commissioners are expected
10 work up the interest Of the race in the
affair and 70 secure the exhibits. The
colcrcd population in northern states viii
also be- represented. so that the building
and exhibit viii be national In character.
The colored people in the south have
accumulated considerable wealth since
the war. In every southern state there is
"A goodly proportion Of colored land
holders. and in some sections there are
very wealthy colored men. Inc race has
entered the learned professions too, and
is making progress along that line There
are probably few cities in the south that
have not their colored lawyers and doc
tors 1t is believed. also. that some black
poets have been developed All of the race
are musicians. Their teachers and preach
CTS cover the southern land. and the stand
ard of each profession is reasonably high.
All Of these people are especially inter
ested in the progress of their race. hence
no great amount Of work will have 10 be
done among them to enlist their enthu-
siasm for the exposition.
There is no politics in the matter. The
white people should assist their colored
friends in every manner possible 10
make the colored exhibit at Atlanta show
truly tho progress and condition Of the
race at the south. The showing. properly
made. viii put to shame those uniformed
critics who assert that the TWO races can
not dwell together in peace and pros
perity.

A short while ago a Charleston man sent
the Springfield CMass) Republican a sam
pie of fine cotton cloth manufactured in
South Carolina. TO show that not only
could fine cloths be made in the south.
but that they are actually being made.
In our dispatches of yesterday Mr. T.
Jefferson Coolidge. treasurer of the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company of
Massachusetts, asserted that fine good can
be made cheaper in the south than in the
north, as well as can coarse goods. The
general idea heretofore has been that
only the coarser goods could be made
here at less cost than in New England.
The Morning News has held and expressed
the opinion that when those interested
came TO look into the matter they would
find that the south could 60 very nearly if
not quite as Wen in the fine goods BUSH
ness as in the coarse. It may be expected
now, since leading mill men Of New Eng
land have come 10 the same way Of
thinking that mills for making fine cot
ton cloths viii 60 UP in the south.

Is our civilization moving around in a
circle? The state Of New York prides her
self upon being in advance Of her neigh
bors in the science and practice of pen
ology. She has abolished the gallows. as
an instrument of harbarism, and insti-
tuted ono of the greatest reformatories in
the world. Yet We see in the New York leg
islature an effort to revive the whipping
post. And the effort is at the instance Of
so prominent a man as Mr.. Elbridge T.
Gerry, president of an anti-cruelty So
ciety! If there is any form Of punishment
that is cruel and barbarous, that form is
the fagellation Of wrong-doers. The whip
ping post has been abolished by all of the
states except Delaware and possibly one
other 1t should never be revived; not
even for the punishment of persons guilty
of criminal assaults, as suggested by Mr..
Gerry.

As queer as the statement may seem, it
was the perfectly legitimate ardor Of af-
lection that young Alabama groom felt
for his bride that got him into law suit
with married woman. The bridal pair
were on train on their wedding tour
Behind them sat the married woman. The
train entered tunnel The groom had a
moment before left his wifes sea-. In the
darkness he returned, and thought to
ravish sweet kiss from the lips he had a
right to press. But he missed the proper
seat, and Rugged ana kissed another
mans wife, The kissed woman was in
dieuant and refused to accept apologies
and an explanation. and brought suit for
$4,000 damages j. is needless to say the
older married woman's act will meet with
universal condemnation. She ought really
to have made a joke OF the young mans
error.

Ohio has a progressive punishment
criminal law, under which a confirmed
and habitual criminal may be imprisoned
for life, although the crime with which
he may stand charged is punishable with
a lesser sentence. A man named Black
burn. who had been convicted of robbery
no less than six times, was, under this
law, recently sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, upon his seventh conviction of
robbery. The law was attacked upon the

The legislatures OF some thrty-two
states viii be in session during the pres
ent month. The Chicago Herald suggests
that it might be a good idea for them to
instruct the federal senators from their
respective states to vote for such re-
vision of the absurd Senate rules as will
permit that body to transact business. No
harm could come from such instructions.
and a great deal of good might result. 1t
frequently occurs that senator's attempt TO
instruct the legislatures. This time there
should he change. 1t is evident that
pressure must be brought to bear upon
the upper House, for its own good. as we'll
as for the good Of the country.

"A queer discussion is going on at Keo-
kuk, in the state of Iowa. It has to do
with a statue and the weather. The
statue is to surmount a public monument
Whether the statue shall be nude or drap-
ed is the question. 1t is argued. on the
one hand, that nude statue would give
the most artistic effect. on the other hand
it is asserted that the weather in Iowa is
frequently too cold for even a statue to
be exposed to it without drapery. A 10
cal paper paints a pathetic picture Of a
naked figure in a zero temperature, with
a fringe of ice spikes pendant, and the
wind bowling around its limbs. Such a
sight would be out of harmony with the
poetic ideas that an artistic statue ought
TO express, certainly; hence it seems that
the Keokuk statue should have at least an
overcoat and leggings, and galoshes also
If the fund is large enough.
