O. Holiday. one of our active members

SHOULD THE NEGROES BE DEP0RTEO.

One of the leaulng negroes of the
South is Bishop Turner, of Georgia.
For some years he has been convinced
that the best interest of the whites and
blacks in this country demanded their
separation. He does not share in the
conviction that a truce can be
patched up through Christian influence
by which the white man and the black
man can live together in a way to pro-
mote the advancement of both. AT the
conference of colored bishops held at
Birmingham last week, resolution was
introduced at the instance of Bishop
Turner, calling upon Congress to APP
propriate one hundred million dollars for
the purpose of deporting the negroes
from tbs country to whatever place or
places it may be deemed best
Bishop Turner is earnest and hon
est in his belief that separation is the
only solution of the race problem. He
says tand scores a point when he says
it, that half the. amount of money
recently spent by the government in
wars would have helped its colored
citizens to locate where they would be
beyond temptations which now seem
to disgrace and infernalize them, if re-
ports are to be believed
Some years ago, we read a very able
argument that filled book advocating
the deportation of the negro and show
ing how it could be.slene. The authors
idea was that negroes.ever fifty years Of
age need not be deported, but only the
younger negroes, and be figured out that
at cost 81 two hundred million dollars
the negro could be given a country where
he could work out his destiny and realize
his ambitions. The authors argument
and statistics. which we cannot now
recall, made profound impression upon
MS at the time. Bishop Turner's views
are in perfect harmony with those of the
author of. the books
AT the threshold of the whole question,
one stubborn fact eonfronts those who
favor deportation. J. is this, the ne
gro will not go. Argue around it, prove
that it would be to his advantage, point
ont the hindrances here and the oppor-
tunities In a new laud-do anyth ne you
may. and The ~.ct remains that the
bulk of Tx negro population will live and
ole nj the. Southern States. Add to that
stubborn fact two others equally as
stubborn: /. That Congress would not
plan he advocates cannot be made to
appropriate the money and 90 that it
would be difficult to find suitable coun-
try that could be secured, and the
proposition is seen to be impracticable.
Bishop Turner may be right, but the
work. It is utterly impracticable.
Since the above was in type we have
seen the argument of Rev. John l.. Wal
Ter, the colored chaplain Of the twenty
third volunteer regiment in the late war.
in favor of the emigration of the negroes
TO the West Indies He believes that
two million of the race would do well to
ro to to Cuba His article appears i'll
full ON the first page of today's paper,
and is d thoughtful treatment of grave
problem.

INEBRIETY.. DISEASE

victim of the disease again and again

Paper Hanging by Machinery.

The successful operation of paper hanging by machine is one of the latest achievements of mechanical ingenuity. says the Werkstatt. The arrangement employed for this purpose is provided with rod, upon which the roll of paper is placed, and paste receptacle with brushing convenience is attach ed in such a manner that the paste is applied automatically on the back of the paper. The end of the wall paper is fixed at the bottom of the wall and the implement rises on the wall in such a manner as only to require that 1t be set by one workman. While the wall paper unrolls and, provided with paste, is held fiat against the wall an elastic roller follows on the outside, which presses 1t firmly and with eXart smoothness to the wall. The final and completing operation Is when the wall paper reaches the top-the workman now pulling a cord, whereby it is cut off from the remainder of the roll.

When Welcome Is Worn Out.

An Ohio host, wearied out of all en- durance by the persistency of his guest, chose as his medium the family prayer after breakfast, and said: 70 Lord, bless our visiting brother, who will leave us on the 10 o'clock train this morning." I prefer the subtler and more reverent method of another Ohio an, the father of William Dean How els, the novelist. His practice was, when a visitor had worn out his wei come, to be called away on business and to say to his guest: ''I suppose you will not be here when I return, so l will wish you good-by." Excellent and highly appreciated by the boys was the formula used by pr. Vaughn, when, as headmaster of Harrow school, he had to entertain the highest form in the school in patches at breakfast. Com miserating the bashfulness of the lads who did not leave and yet wanted to do so, the doctor would say-apropos of nothing: Must you go? Can't you stayY This was the signal for de parture. I admire very heartily the transposition of blundering narrator, who, in telling this story, gave the for mula as Cant you go? Must you stay" A fellow feeling makes one Wondrous kind to this revised version.

NauseOus Doses.

Nauseous medicines nowadays possess none of the terrors that many of us re- member when "powders" were given in jam and castor oil ill hot milk, as pharmacists have invented no end of ways of giving the nastiest drugs with out any flavor at all.
 Castor oil, cod liver oil and things of that disagreeable kind are made up i'll little flexible capsules, which slip down the throat like a strawberry.
 These capsules are also made in two parts, so that any one can buy them empty and put the powder or other drug in himself, sealing them and then swal lowing them without knowing that the drug has a taste. Then there is the round wafer paper, in which can be in closed any kind of bolus, pill or powder and which, when moistened, can be swallowed with ease. - New York World.

Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de- rived from other languages, protocol" has long since lost its original meaning. It is derived from the Greek "protos, l" meaning first, and "kollan," meaning glue, and meant originally sheet glued in front of manuscript, bearing the writer's name and other particulars. From this the meaning evolved into that of a rough draft of a document and was so used by the Romans, who called it "protocolium. The definition of the word as used ill modern diplomacy is given as a rough draft of any document or a document preliminary to some transaction. It likewise is defined as "a diplomatic document or minute of pro- ceeding signed by friendly powers in order to secure certain diplomatic ends by peaceful means.

porh Are Married.

The ordinary paragrapher in referring to marriage nearly always says that Mir. John Smith or MT. James Brown was married to Miss Nellie Green or Miss Fanny White. It would lead one to think that the man only was mar ried, while the fact is both were mar ried. The woman is as much married as the man. The man was not simply married to the woman. The woman and the man were married, and the an- nouncement should be that Mir. So-and- SO and Miss So-and-so were married. Rev. Dr. Sunderland wrote a series of articles on this subject some years ago which were published in this city. He laid down the general principle that he did not marry the man to the woman, but that he married the man and the woman, and married one just as much as he did the other. He discountenanced the issuing of wedding cards by parents that their daughter was married to any particular person, and said he did net want to perform any marriage ceremony in which any such announcement was made.

 He was receiving a dispatch from Albany, in which the sender was not overcareful in the matter of spacing his letters Lawton took the address as fol- lows: "Dr. A. Wing, room car agent, Central depot, New York"
 The dispatch came back with the marginal report that there was no such person at the address named. The oper- ator at Albany was called up, and ex- plantations followed, ill consequence of which the address was changed to drawing room car agent, Central de- pot"

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.

 A woman with the blues is very un- comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical.
 The condition of the mind known as "the blues," nearly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation.
 It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- ousReSs in women. These troubles are indications of disease.
 Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense. and is the counsel of learned woman of great experience Read the story of Mrs F. S. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf- fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and alteration of the womb, and thlS spring, being Tn such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped.
 ''I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than have had for the past ten years. l wish to say to all distressed, suffer ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you"

Peabody and the Boatman.

Many years ago John Bright and George Peabody, the philanthropist, were fishing in a little Irish stream Late in the evening, after hard day $ work, the party arrived at the landing stage, and Bright, aceosting the inevita- ble policeman on the bank, said:
 "What is the proper price to pay these boatmen, constable?"
 He replied, "Seven shillings and six pence, yer honner, but some gintlemen give them 10 shillings."
 Bright turning to his companion, said, "I have no change, Peabody; have you three half crowns?"
 The millionaire produced the coins and gave them to one of the boatmen.
 ''Is that all ye're giving me?" asked the latter.
 "That's all, ," said Peabody.
 Holding the coins ill the open palm of his hand, and slowly scratching his head with the other, the boatman said:
 "And they call ye Paybody, don't they? Well, call ye PaynobOdy. "- New York Tribune.

GEN. STARTERS LESSON.
It Was on This Occasion That He Learned to Decide For Himself.


 Here is story that the Cleveland Leader proffers about General Shafter. It centers about his salient trait of be- ing pugnacious, just as all current and we'll invented anecdotes of Fighting Bob" Evans revolve around some in- candescent bit of profanity. But the story runs thus, as the general is made to tell it:
 "Once, when was boy at school-I wasn't more than 1O or Il years old at the time-our teacher called up the class in mental arithmetic and began putting questions, beginning with the pupil at the head of the row and going down toward the foot, until some one could give the correct answer. l stood somewhere near the middle, and next below me was a boy who was three years older and considerably ahead of me in the various studies that we had.
 How much are 1S and and 8?' the teacher asked.
 "While one after another of the boys and girls ahead of me guessed and failed to get it right I figured out what thought the answer ought to be. The question had almost got to me when l heard the big boy just below me whis- pering, apparently to himself, but loud enough for me to hear, '29. 29, 29.'
 Finally the pupil above me failed to answer correctly, and then it was my turn.
 Well, Willie, said the teacher, let's see if you know the answer. Come. now, be prompt.
 ''I cooked my head up proudly on one side, cast a triumphant look at those who had fallen down on the problem and said, so that everybody in the schoolroom could hear me:
 Twenty -nineP
 Next. How many are 13 and g and 8P
 'AwP said the big boy below me, with look of supreme contempt at the rest of us, '30l'
 "That was what I had figured it to be myself, and when the teacher said correct 1 wanted to fight.
 ''I didn't assault him, but made up my mind right there and then to depend on my own judgment in the future, and ever since then when 1 have had any thing to do and had figured out what l considered the best way to do 1t have gone ahead, remembering, when people criticised or tried to throw me off the track, how that big boy made a fool of me in the mental arithmetic class
