THE NORTH AND THE NEGRO.

Some time ago we reviewed at length
a psper read by DR.. Paul B. Barringer
of the University of Virginia, before the
Tri-State Medical Association, at Charles
ton, on the negro question We are
interested to note that the Medical
Record, printed in New York, quotes an
extract from Dr. Barringer's article ana
comments approvingly thereon. IN
every part of the SOUTH DR.. Barringer
said. lit is the opinion of every man or
unbiased mind that the second genera
ton (of negroes is Infinitely worse then
the first The Medical Record says that
this is the judgment of an educated
Southerner in regard to the negro ques'
ton, looked at from the moral stand
point, and as such is entitled 10 me
closest attention of thinking men. IL
adds that the Medical Record has many
times called attention to the physical
deterioration of the colored race on TINS
continent, clearly owing to the insanl-
tary condition in which its members live;
that the matter is of the most serious
Importance, and, naturally, assumes q
most ominous aspect. 1t admits that
the abolition of slavery, instead OF eX-
ercising a favorable influence upon the
negro morally and physically, would
rather appear to have had contrary eff
feet"
1t admits, too, that 1.-The physical de-
generacy of the Afro-American race matt
urally becomes more and more evident,
while it is to be feared that the moral
condition of the oolored man in this
country is at a lamentably low ebb
This is indeed an interesting confession
from a Northern medical journal. The
Northern people introduced the negro
into this country as a slave; the North
ern people set the negro free; the North
ern people clothed him with ali the rights
of citizenship; the Northern people cod
died him and pushed him forward, and
put him in Office, and did all that they
could TO make him the political and social
enuai of the white man. But what IS
the upshot OF it all? What is the sum
and substance of all these efforts in the
negro's behalf? In the political world he
has always been the tool of corrupt
white men, and a New York medical
journal says that "the physical degen-
eracy of the negro naturally becomes
more and more evident while his moral
This seems to US very like a confession
from the North that the abolitionistss
have made a dismal failure.

LoCKHAf,1's MILIrEND SALE.
Every Promise kent.

Mr.. c. A. Locl1hart. the originator and
patentee of Min Ends and the idea of
contracting with mills for them, is de-
lighted with Richmond. The first day of
the sale yesterday, was the busiest in
the history OF The Meyer Store To their
credit let lit be said that every promise
was carried out With the extraordinary
rush of trade it would have not been
surprising had a great many Of the
things advertised been sold out early in
the day, but only two articles gave out
before the day was over-the plant
stands. at six cents and some lace. More
of these have been telegraphed for and
will be here before the sale is over. To-
day special attention is to be given TO
Tailor-NLade Suits on the second floor.
Some at S2.9S, which have been s.: some
at $685. which have been $3.50, $50, and
even up to S25; others too. at S15. which
have only been $40. But they will prove
profitable buying to any one on the look
out for a Tailor-Made Suit.

SUCCESSFUL in his commemorate efforts
Rag time is musical slang and is as
desnor.alizang in It's field as slang phrases
to Language. Not only So but the phrase
oioSy of these rag time songs is coarse
and sometimes borders ON the obscene. II
Is a good thing for the people to sing,
and ne have nothing to say against good
popular music, but rag time music is to
be DISCOURAGED 1t cannot have refining
influence. Ii cannot make the people bet
ter 1t cannot lift the people up, but Us
tendency is to corrupt and demoralize.
But we are afraid that the New York
reforn,er will not be successful in his
undertaking There is. unfortunately,
popular demand for this class of music.
and the people rule in the musical world
life. SO long as there is demand, there
will DE q supply. and the only way to up
root rag time music and retire 1T is to
cultivate the popular taste.
The Wednesday Club, of Richmond, and
other musical organizations of that high
character. are working in the right direc-
ton. They give the people a higll-class
of music and eventually will give them
a taste for 1T. The members of the club
who study music soon learn to love the
classics, and so the club an orsaniza-
ton, and through each individual mem
Der, is forever exerting a wholesome and
a powerful influence throughout the com
,nunity. Our Wednesday Club is our mus
ical training school. and the progress OF
2ts work is seen at each recurring fesh-
val. Let this organization and orga niza-
lions like it have their way and have
their sway, and rag time music will soon
become a thing of the past.

THE IRON TRADE.


The New York Times quotes a leading
iron master of Eastern Pennsylvania as
having said:
nc The prospects for the
balance of the present
year are exceedingly bright for the pig
iron trade. There has been much discus
sion in the newspapers recently concern
ing the situation at present and the prob
able state of the iron trade in the near
future. Predictions unfanorable to con-
iiitlance of prosperity in the iron trade
have been made. Inwestig CAUTION shows,
However, that there is very little iron in
stock in Eastern Pennsylvania to-day.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
all of the furnaces have sold their pro-
auctions and prices remain firm. First
class pig iron is now selling at about So
a tan.
Some days ago a report was circulated
THAT a reduction in iron prices had been
made at Pfttsburg, but that report was
not true. 1 predict that every iron furn-
ace in Pennsylvania will find ready
market for all, the pig it can turn out,
and that by July list the business will
BOOM
There is nothing the matter with the
iron industry of the country or with the
iron trade. Conditions have been most
unusual and there has been such an enor-
nous demand for iron that the manu-
factureas were not able to keep up with
their orders. This extraordinary demand
has been in part supplied and it is but
natural that the phenomenal prices of
that commodity should decline somewhat,
but the iron industries are still bus.,
with orders booked far into the future,
with healthy demand for their product,
and we have no doubt that remuneratlVe
prices win be maintained.

AS AN ILLUSTRATION.

We are gratified to know that our
esteemed contemporary. the Danyille
Register, is pleased with the article
which recently appeared in these columns
commenting on the fact that the Register
has absorbed the evening paper of Dan
Vile, and that both will hereafter be
conducted under one management. The
there is no newspaper trust in Danvllle,
..as there is still ample competition in
the newspaper business.
We do not pretend to deny the fact.
There is competition in every branch Of
business in spite of the claim that the
trusts have absorbed all the individual en-
terprises of the country and set conpe-
tition at naught. There is and there al
WAYS will be competition, and it exists
whether or not there be rival concerns
actually in existence The Danville Bee,
for example, tells us that there is talk
in that city of starting another afternoon
paper to compete with this afternoon edi-
ton of the Register. We can hardly De
lieye that anybody will be reckless enough
to start a third daily paper in Danville.
but the Register and the Bee will fight
against such competition to come just
as if the competition had materialized.
BY this we mean to say that those who
own and control the Register and the
Bee will make Of them just as good pa
pers as the support will justify; they will
work for the best interests of Danville;
they will endeavor to please their patrons;
they will do all that they can to make
these papers as popular as possible. and
that is TO be accomplished by giving the
best article at the lowest price. Apart
from every consideration of public spirit
and loyalty, this is simple business
proposition.
We would not appear to discuss the
private affairs of the Danville Register,
but newspaper Is more or less a public
institution, and in perfect sincerity. and.
let us hope, in good taste, we have en-
ployed the Danville incident to illustrate
the great truth which The Times has
been proclaiming for the past several
years We say that this principle regu-
lates every so-called trust In the coun-
try. we say that in order for a trust to
succeed It must always be on its good be-
havior-must act IN such way as TO
discourage rival concerns from springing
up. It must be liberal with Its custom
era. It must give them such goods IS

STORY OF \ SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by chains of disease is the worst form Of
slavery. George D. Williams, of Man
chester, Mich, tells how such a slave
was made free. He says: My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle-working medicine is a godsend to
weak, sickly. rundown people. Every
