NOTHING TO REJOICE OVER

We do not rejoice that there have been
recent race riots in New York and ONO.
We ARE panied to see a manifestation OF
ill-feeEng between the races anywhere.
We would love to see the whites and
blacks get on well together. We would
like to see the friendliest relationship be-
tween them. 1t is always 4 grief TO US
when there is clash between the races,
no matter in what section it be.
We say this lest some of OUT readers
should have gotten the impression from
recent articles in this paper on the riots
that have occurred at the North that we
were gloat ting over them. Forbear it. We
have the very kindcst feeling for the
black man and we wish him well. We do
not love to see him get into trouble. We
want to see him prosperous and happy
and living on the Very best terms Of peace
and friendship with the whites. Our pur-
pose in calling special attention to the
riots that have ACQUIRED in the West and
the North was TO impress the fact that
under the same circumstances and under
similar provocation the Northern whites
viii deal with the negro question as the
whites OF the South have dealt with il.

Boutwell, & Co.

The Brunswick Gazette says: The Rich

editorial under the caption of The Case
of Boutwell," that illustrates, as we have
rarely seen it illustrated. how inconven-
lent and damaging a thing q mans record
sometimes is While we agree with Mr..
Boutwell, in the position he now nolds
with respect to Mr.. 4Ickihley's imperial
istic policy, we cannot entertain very
profound respect for the opinions Of a

rnent as to induce him to subscribe his

CHRISTIANITY AND CHINA.

The Rev L. F. Farham agrees with The
Times that the crisis in China affords the
Christian natians of the universe an excel
lent opportunity to exploit and exen1plify
those great principles Of Christianity
which these nations, profess. a correspon-
dent OF one Of our Virginia contemporaries,
III j recent communication seriously auVo-
Gated the Gismenberment and parution-ng
OF China, coniendins that if this was not
done the Chinese would, in the course OF
few years, .'r.so in their might, ana with
their newIy-won confidence in their military
ability to sustain them, overrun ana con-
quer the world 1t has also been argued
biz some that if the Chinese should be
Christianized and modernized, they would
begin to develop manufacturing industries
in their own country, and by the hep o. the
abundance of cheap labor, outsrip me ma
lions OF the earth. The inference is that
the Christian nations should keep the
Chinese down to prevent them from en-
terins into competition with CHRISTIANS.
That IS a fine doctrine, TO De sure LOT
Christians 10 be preaching. The Times
conce,yes of nothing more heathenish. We
have for many years been sending our
missionaries into China to teach them that
their religion is false and that ours IS true.
We have been exploiting the Golden RUE
of Christianity. We have told them that
the great aim and object OF the Christian
religion was TO lift up humanity, to cu!ti-
yate the spirit Of charity and 10 promote
Christian brotherhood. We have told them
that there is bu; one true God, and that
tho inhabitants of the earth are His chill
oren. we have told them, In short, that
christianity means generosity and brother
~ love. What would the heather Chinese
think. therefore, if they should hear rep
ressn,at;yes Of these Christians nations
say that the Empire OF China should be
6fsmenbered and partitioned. and that the
chinese people should be held down, lest
they Become dangerous competitors In the
industrial worid
christianity does not teach the game OF
greed and grab and if this game Is to be
pracliced in China by the Christian nations
of the earth, the Chinese will be persuaded
that Christianity is a mockery and hol-
low pretense.

50 Chance for Christianity

Editor of The Times:

the present grave situation in CHINA which
calls for the greatest wis0o.-s ana olscre-

is too nalpahla not TO be seen. If cupidity
and lust of power be the dominating mo-
tives with the Christian nations IN the
final settlement OF Chinese anairs ana
the noble, unselfsh PRINCIPLES q the Chris

most disastrous and will put IN oaa lssht

CURRENT TOPICS.

Editor Mcdonald Lee, Of the lrTlhSlon
Citizen. declines 10 run as a delegate TO
the Constitutional Convention, giving as
one reason that he does not stand IN with
the ring leaders of his district and even
if he desired the nomination they would
oppose him Whereupon the Newport
News Herald well says:
THAT is sufficient evidence that Mr.
Lee is a good man to assist in making
a new Constitution. II we understand the
temper of the people, the fact that he
does not stand in with the ring leaders
makes him the very kind of a man the
people want We are of the opinion that
the people have abou: made up their mind
that they are not going to ask the rings
any odds; in the matter of selecting good
men to represent them in the Convention. =
some time ago we printed an article in
these columns on violets. In the same con-
nection the Orange Observer says:

any other crop that can be produced. In
Louisa and Orange some OF the farmers
have built up quite d trade for these
early flowers ship them as far North
as Boston, and strange as it may
seem. often as far south as Florida"
The Boston Transcript concludes an ar
.ticle on the subject Of reunions Of the
Blue and the Gray as follows:
Even if they desired it, the veterans of
the North cannot exclude negro soldiers
Of the civil war from membership in the
Grand Army But they do not desire
it, and so long as the 1FaSareTs of the Gray
object to the presence of the negro, there
can be no perfect commingling Of the
veterans OF the North and South.
That of itself is sufficient to show that
all such reunions are dangerous and do
! not tend to promote harmony between the
veterans of the two wars
In referring to the fine exhibit which
the South will make in the next census
report, the New York sun says:
..In recent years the South, whose cot
| ton used to be sent to other States to be
manufactured, has BEEN building mills and

Night.


The tender Night, in sable dress,
Leans Ger the earth, intent to bless;
Like round ball of misty light
Her lantern moon gows soft and bright;
The yellow stars that wink and yawn
Are her small candles till the dawn;
Thus lighted. round the world she goes
To heal with sleep it's sharpest woes.
The tears Day brought. Night gently dries.
With her soft touch on weary eyes
In mists of dreams each tired brain
Forgets its trouble or its pain.
To age she brings back youth and joy,
The gray-haired man becomes a boy;
Fair visions to the youth she shows
OF all the future may DISCLOSE
On childhoods lips she leaves kiss;
Enough for him is present blss
But, for this goodness which she shows,
She wills that every eye must close;
For all too shy is modest Night
To do such kindness in our sight,
Margaret Deland.
