DR.. LYMAN ABBOTT SrARTLES
BOSTONIANS.

A press dispatch from Boston,
Mass, dated Feb. 9th, says that Rev
DR.. Lyman Abbott made some start
ling announcements on the rights Of
the negro in the South during the
eighth lecture on "A Study in the
Problems Of Democracy" in that cit,
the night before
His lecture opened with Il discus
sion OF the Indian question, ii which
he said: ''Barbarians have right
which civilization muat respect; but
barharism has no rights in a civilized
community. The wall which has been
erected around barbarism in the form
Of Indian reservations should be taken
down and the Indians thrown into
the activities OF civilized life to take
care OF themselves.
The negro probIem." he said, lis
more difficult, but can be solved BY
the same law-by q reversal on the
one hand Of the supreme and unrea-
BILE confidence in the irnnrant
negro. and on the other Of the
supreme and unreasonable distru,t OF
the slave holder. Ii is a mistake to
believe every people Can vote. | ln
not wish to justify the methods. bnt
do applaud the attempt in recent
wears to have the best elements.
govern in the South. There should
be drawn. not color or race line. but
a character line. Manhood must
come first, suffrage aiterward.
Il regret the "Reminiscences Of bar
barism in the operation of lynch law,
but with lynchings in Ohio, with a
Kansas woman smashing saloons in
Topeka. and another woman demol-
fishing drug stores in Chicago, we
must realize that this evil is not dis
tinctlv Southern.
The result Of universal suffrage.
DIR. Abbott said, was to give politi
cal power to a great body OF ex-slayes
without previous training or educa-
ton and without political capacity.
The carpet-bag government notorious
~ failed to protect person, property,
reputation or family. The South en-
gagged IN revolution for the purpose
OF overthrowing it. The bottom of
society never ought to govern the
Top ana 1t would govern the top IL
political power was conferred upon
great body Of ignorant and incompe-
tent voters
Dr. Abbott declared that the North
ought to sYmpathize with the end
which the South had in view. The
TACT that the negroes, emerging from
CONDITION of absolute poverty, now
own about S3DO0)O,O0O worth Of Der
sonal and real estate, conclnsively
shows that their personal and prop
erty rights are in the main we'll
protected. The further fact that tn.
South expends about $40. 900. 600 an
nually in school funds, of which sum
the negro contributes but one-,bir-
teth. though they receive the benefit
OF nearly one-half. shows conclusively
that the South desires the education
of the negro.

OLE CURE For DRUNKENNESS.

In discussing Mrs. Nations crusade
in Kansas, the Baltimore World,
among other things, says:
But all the smashing of joints and
laws will never stop the liquar traffic
so long as there is a desire on the
part Of men to use the products OF the
still. Therefore the better way would
he to place proper safeguards around
the selling of alcoholic drinks and to
allow only the pure articles to be
sold.
One Of the great causes Of drunken
ne-s in this country IS the treating
habit. That. too. might be regulated
by law. If men were prohibited from
paving for drinks for a crowd and the
others doing the same in turn, each
man would probably take bnt one
drink and 20 on about his business.
But with the treating custom each
man takes as many drinks as there
are men in the crowd. and perhaps a
round or two more. This is where
the drunkenness comes in. 1t is the
cnnvivial spirit Of men that causes it.
Very few men start out with the
deliberate intention Of getting drunk,
but many, otherwise temperate in the
use of liquor, take it to excess when
in crowd Of good fellows" The
liquor laws everywhere might be
modified so that drunkenness would
be- decreased without the Interference
with mans rights and privileges.
The subject is a delicate one, and
presents many possibilities. That
evil results from excessive use of
alcoholic drinks is an established
fact, and the regulation of their sale
with view to lessening the evils as
far possible seems to be the only way
that better conditions can be OBJ
tanned.

TIMELY FARM HINTS.
praci iCal Suege ston> About Spring
Work aud Tres Planning.

Rev. Z. 4. Law writes as follows in
the Lum berton Robesoniam on the
timely subject Of tree planting and
preparation f,r farm work:
This is the month for tree planting
and cleansing for the farmer. While
the ground is too wet to pillow he is
stumbling ditch banks. the edges of
his fields and along road sides This
is Important. No more valuable work
could be doue. Not only is some of
the best land in the field reclaimed
and the crop near by protected, but
his field is made to present more
descent appearance. We have never
known a successful farmer who did
not have regard to this important
work. This should evidently consti-
tutc large part Of the pleasure Of
the work OF the wear. Slovenliness
in one respect indicates slovenliness
in other respects. Therefore, when
one sees crops receding from growths
about turning rows. ditch banks and
elsewhere the natural inference is
that the farmer is Il poor one. That
Is not the class Of farmers who sue
coed. Shade and fruit trees should
be planted now. The value of both
cannot be Oyer-sStimated. 1t would
add very much. yea. dollars per acre
to any farm to have a row of walnut
trees planted along every road side
This tree, unlike nearly all others,
we are told, does not impoverish
land nor affect growing CT" ps near
by. With comparatively little ex-
penSe most farms could be made
much like a lovely garden. 1t is
obvious that by this small outlay of
money and labor any farm NAV be in
creased greatly in value.
