A NEWSPAPERS ENEr1lES.

The newspaper that makes no enc
mics isn't worth the paper on which
it is printed. Every day there is pub
lished something in \ real newspaper
which some one for their own personal
reasons would like to have left out.
A newspaper may have a warm friend,
\ person who has been friend for
years, it may have done him 80 favors,
but let it fail to do him the one hun
dredth, or let it say something which
he thinks contrary to his interest, or
tell the truth about him when he
doesn't want the truth told, and that
person becomes an enemy. He is
quick to forget the past, but he is very
bitter about the present.-Knoxville

SUFFRAGE RESTRICTION.

William f. Curtis, the Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Record
Herald, writes to his paper touching
the growing sentiment throughout
the country in favor of suffrage re-
striction - the elimination of tho
ignorant and vicious negro vote. He
says:
| have several times referred to the
growing sentiment in this country in
favor of educational qualifications for
suffrage, and public opinion is SO
strong on that subject that Congress
will not dare do anything to resist or
revoke what has already been accom-
| plished in several of the States. Be-
| fore another generation comes into
| control of affairs it will be a popular
issue. That situation may be has
tened by the discussion of the subject
in the newspapers, upon the platform
and in other places where people ex-
change ideas. An encouraging symp-
tom is that it is being chosen for
debates and orations by students in
the universities and colleges. Within
the last few days l have received let
ters from three institutions where
the subject will be discussed at the
prize debates during the commence
ment exercises, the exact topic being
whether an amendment to the Federal
Constitution should be adopted giving
Congress power to prescribe uniform
qualifications for suffrage at the cleo
tion of members of the House Of Rep
resentatives and the Presidential cleo
| tions.
| The State of Tennessee will prob
ably be the next to limit suffrage. A
movement is already on foot there to
follow the example of Maryland and
establish an educational qualification.

SPOILlNG COOKS AND FARMERS
BY EDUCATING (?) NEGROES.

The negroes and the State would be
mutually benefited if large part of
the money now expended upon the
education of the negroes was used to
make them skilled farm laborers and
good notwithstanding Progress.
One excellent way TO accomplish
those desirable purposes, is to quit
catching them when young with the
idea of making classical scholars Of
them. We spoil both the cook and
tho farmer and do not acquire a
scholar. Yet, it must be admitted
that the Southern States have been
educating the negros to worthlesness,
and even to crime, in that way.-New-

The Life Tragedy of a South Carolina
Editor.

The following touching story is
told by the Charleston Ne,cs and Cou-
rier:
Trustingly and patiently we have
waited through long weary months
for subscribers in arrears to pay their
Indebtedness. And not only during
the last few months, but many have
enjoyed our indulgence through sew
eral years. The waiting has caused
us, and is causing us, real embarrass-
ment. We need what is due US from
each and all; and now when money
should be obtainable, we hope, expect
and urge all subscribers to remit.
Please do SO promptly. Do not put
off the matter, for it is an honest
obligation that merits immediate at
tention. II you cannot now pay all
that is due, please send as much as
possible .'on account" 1t is hoped
that this notice will be a sufficient re-
minder, without necessitating the
sending of a personal bill, and that
subscribers will show their apprecis-
tion of the prOprietor's long indul-
gence by re.ponding without delay.

WHERE HAVE THE BLUE BIRDS GONE?
Disappearance of These and Other
Small Species Must be Charged Up
Against the Little Leather .Colored
Chatterers Under the Eaves.

The question has been raised i'm the
Charlotte O6sorer as to what has become
OF the blue birds, and the Observer comes
to their rescue in the following lines:
| 'No more exquisite things Of beauty
followed Adam out OF Eden or Noah out
of the ark than these little friends that
have spent so long in their wing baths in
the azure that they have verify become
STEPPED and dyed in sky-tints. We do
not see SO much OF them as we used to in
| the far long-ago, when we drove the cows
to milking up the lilac-lined lane and
| stopped to peer into the nest far down in
the hollow OF the old gate post. We do
| do not see them now and We miss them.
| Give them back. These ugly little leather
| coiored chatterers under the caves are II
| horrible substitute"
We are inclined to the opinion that the
English sparrow ran them away. But
| possibly the fad of wearing birds upon
bOnnets and hats, some seasons ago, had
something to do with their extermina-
| tion.-Durham Sun.
The English sparrows undoubtedly
have had much to do with the dis
appearance of other birds. They are
great fighters, game and puguacious,
and can whip most birds two or three
times their size. And when one can't
do it they double teams on the un-
welcome offender and thus put him
to flight. But it is ia destroying the
eggs and breaking up the nests that
they do the greatest mischief. The
English sparrows are regular little
cannibals and while they do not prey
upon their own kind. i'll fares the eggs
of other small species Of the feathered
tribe they come across. And since
the English sparrows have taken to
the country their work OF destruction
is more Widespread, of course. At
first they only infested the towns and
cities. but now they are found in the
inland districts also and their pres
ence is rs numerous in some remote
sections as where the electric lights
glow and they seek a home and q
nesting place in the court house tower
or the Ligh church steeple.
