The difficulties Of immigration into
the "black belt" of the South are en-
phasized by the recent race riots in
Alabama. As a contemporary puts il,
the negro would get along easily, hap
PLY and peacefully if left to the origi-
nal inhabitants OF the South, who I'M
derstand him and whom he in turn
seems to know. II is the new element
of foreign immigration that has caused
the friction in the community. And 1t
is suggested that when these thickly
populated negro sections Of the South
plead for immigration they should see
that protection be given the Old settler
against the newcomer; or. at least, that
the immigrant shall be taught toler-
ance in dealing with the negro.

CROPS IN GOOD SHAPE.
Fine Showing of Winter Wheat-Corn
Planting Well Under Way.

Planting we'll Under Way.
Reports as to the conditions Of crops
throughout the country and the general in
fuence of weather on cultivation and
growth of crops made by the directors OF
the different State weather services and
telegraphed to Chicago are as follows:
Winter wheat is reported as in excel
lent condition in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Maryland and over the greater part OF
Illinois; Nebraska reports good condition
In extreme southeast, elsewhere mostly
whittier killed; Iowa reports good condi-
ton; Ohio much improved and in fair
condition except in northern portion;
good crop is promised in Indiana, except
on clay soil; Arkansas and Oregon report
crop much improved; Michigan fair con-
dition, except in some central counties,
where winter killed; in Wisconsin it has
been largely winter killed; in Kansas the
crop is improved in western portions Of
the State, but in central counties much
has been plowed up and the ground sowr
in other grain. Spring wheat is coming
up and growing nicely in the Dakotas
and Minnesota, but in the southern por-
ton of the last named State the late
sown is needing rain. Corn planting has
begun in Minnesota and is progressing in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and South Dakota: some damage is
being done by cut worms in Mississippi
and Kentucky. Cotton planting is nearly
completed in South Carolina, Alabama
and Arkansas and will be finished in
Louisiana the coming week.
Indiana-Warm weather and few show
ers were beneficial, but rain is needed !;
wheat on favorable soil promises good
crop, on clay ground it stands thin and
spotted; blowing for corn nearly ended;
planting begun in most counties.
Wisconsin-Weather too cold and dry
for crop growth; grass and oats making
slow progress; winter wheat largely kill
ed and land sOwn to other grain; about
90 per cent. of the crop saved in east por-
ton; planting begun.
Iowa-The week ended warm and favor
able; fair start has been made in corn
planting; all small grain crops doing well;
winter wheat in good condition.
North Dakota-Favorable weather,
wheat seeding about finished;- oats. rye
and flax being sown; grain coming up
nicely.
Minnesota rains in northern and
ceNtTdl pOTllOHS duu lieHt sHOWcIS III
southern portion; warm sunshiny days,
with frosty nights; early sown grain good
stand and sprouting nicely; potato plant
ing we'll advanced and corn planting be-
gun; grass and late sown grain need more
rain in southern portion.
South Dakota-Above an average tenn
perature, with about average rainfall and
sufficient sunshine caused satisfactory
progress in all vegetation; wheat, oats,
gardens and grass growing nicely; fax
seeding progressing; potato planting ad-
vanced; corn planting becoming general.
Michigan-Warm. dry week has greatly
advanced farm work, but held back vege-
tation, which is badly in need of rain; all
winter wheat In fair condition except in
eastern third of central counties, where
it is poor and winter killed in spots.

Don't Waste the Gas.

Prof. j. c. Leach. State Gas Inspector,
who has returned from tour of the gas
belt, authorizes the following statement,
warning the public against the needless
waste of gas: There are many sections
OF the gas field that | have not visited at
all, and am, therefore, not sufficiently in
formed to give an intelligent estimate of
the gas supply: but Judging from what
data | have at hand. believe that the sta
tistic pressure of the gas field is decreasing.
True. there are some wells that show a
very slight decrease. if any, bat this is the
exception and not the rule. The belief i'm
many places that gas will last forever. and
the eXtravagant use and waste caused
thereby, are doing great damage 10 the
commercial interests of the gas field: for no
one knows better than the manufacturer,
who is looking for a location for factory,
that at the present rate of reckless wasting
of this precious fuel, the time is not far
distant when he will have to return to coal.
The gas companies have realized this for
some time, and are doing all they can to
husband their supply, and am glad TO say
that in some places the people are awaken
ing to tf.eSe facts: are doing what they can
to create "A sentiment against the waste of
this fuel"

but no person has Il vote unless he
possesses real eSate of the value of
forty pounds, or occupation at the
value of sixty pounds per year; all

of Keys are submitted for royal assent,
and when that has been secured then
the law must be formally read in the
English and ManX languages on Tyn-

Chinese Gentlemen and Virtuosos.


You must know the Chinese is far
more commonly virtuOSO than we. And
q Chinese collector is Il real cOnnois-
scur. He has no idea of beauty-ex-
cept to eye it suspiciously lis probably
Of Japanese or other foreign origin; all
he worships is age. And-mark this
most curious trait-antiqueS o. his own
country alone. What a conservatism
to boast of this. The Chinese scholar
and yirtuOSO has the prOfoundest adj
miration for his own country's ancient
literature and art. He will not deign
to have anything foreign or new on his
shelves. l think this is somewhat of Il
rebuke to us, hunting for relies of every
country but our own. 1t puts lis on the
stand Of ncuveauX riches.
Don't think that Chinaman spends
nothing on his collection. He will out
bid the vulgarcSt millionaire in the
world for n genuine old bronze or por-
celain. His collection is not built up in
n day by wholesale commissions given
10 dealers. His is bought piece by piece
as opportunity and finances allow. The
collection made by u single mans life
time is nothing. You will see pieces in
his catalogue bought by father and
grandfather. and remote ancestors.
They are heirloomS. They are passed
down from father to son. They are
the mark of education and noble birth,
because the only nobility there is cdu-
ca ton and official rank, and noble
birth is being the descendants of an
cestors who have held Office and taken
degrees. An heirloom of choice bit
Of porcelain proves education and

What Careful Study Did.

President W. p. ST. John. of the Mer-
camille National Bank of New York,
is the leading silver champion among
the Eastern bankers He recently tod
Kate Fields Washington the reason
for the faith that was in him.
In 1881 Mr.. st. John was the Junior
member of the Finance Committee Of
the New York Chamber of Commerce.
He was then an ardent champion of the
single gold standard. The chairman OF
the committee told Mr.. st. John that
it was his duty to thoroughly inform
himself upon the currency question, as
certain the historic facts, and mar
shall them against the array Of alleged
facts with which the Western advO-
Gates of free coinage We're continually
urging their demands"
Mr.. St John studied the question
carefully. He was nine years coming
to final decision. AS Il result he is
unalterably in favor of equally unlim-
tied coinage for gold and silver into
legal tender money"
Thorough study and investigation OF
the currency question will do the same
for every intelligent citizen.-Denvcr

Fight Lives Saved by a Dog.

Some years ago Il vessel was driven
on the beach of Lydd, in Kent, Eng
land. The sea was rolling furiously
Light poor fellows were crying for help;
but boat could not be got off, through
the storm. to their assistance, and they
were in constant peril, for any moment
the ship was in danger of sinking. At
length 4 gentleman came along the
beach accompanied by his NewfOund-
land dog. He directed the animals at
tcntion TO the vessel, and put a short
stick in his mouth. The intelligent
and courag eOus dog at once understood
his meaning, sprang into the sea, and
fought his way through the angry
waves toward the vessel. He could not.
however, get close enough to deliver
that with which he was charged; but
the crew understood what was meant,
and they made fast rope to another
piece of wood, and threw it towards
linn. The noble animal at once dropped
his own piece of wood. and Immediate
ly seized that which had been thrown
to him; and then, with degree of
strength and determination scarcely
credible-fOr he was again and again
lost under he waves-he dragged il
through the surge and delivered it To
his master. a line of communication
was thus formed with the vessel, and
every man on board was rescued.
