 When all the questions called for by the case have been asked, the con, sultants retire to anothan fUom, where they will be alone. for in all eonsulta. tions the masters dispute with one all other i'll order the better to discuss the truth, and sometimes they come to pass i'll the heat of discussion whiah would cause strangers witnessing their proceeding to suppose there were diseerd and strife among them This Is some times the case.

THE NEGRO QUESTION

". C. Richardson, . negro leader of Bradford Pa, is out in com munieaaon to the New York Age, ar Afro. Americas organ, in which he drops some hints of value, especi- ally to the negro race of the South. He says:
 Tn the South there are schools for eoIored children IFS well as schools for white children. and the eolored schools are taught by colorea teachers.
 Tn the North. colored children may get an education, may flt themselves for teach ing. but there are. no schools for them to teach. There are few situations in the North for educated negroes.
 My advice 10 the Northern negro Ia to go South. where negro character Is understood and where negroes of integrity, education and ability are appreciated and respected by the better class of whites.
 T have been asked whether intended to 90 south, and have answered that do. The sober. industrious and enterprising negro hns more opportunities for advancement In the south than in tho North.
 In commenting on this statement the Houston PaSt very correctly says:
 MT. Richardson is correct in the main. The negroes enjoy far more liberty, better business advantages and better facilities for education in the South than in the North, and yet very many Of them not only fail to appreciate their improved eondi- fions here, but violate in their law 1essness the generosity they should have gratitude for and the beneticent system which gives them so much encouragement.
 Negroes of integrity, education and ability will always find a home in the South, but the sooner the in- corrigibles of their race emigrate to the North, or somewhere else, the better for the happiness of those who remain.
