THE Rev. DIR. Parkhust preached
Sunday in New York on topics
connected with his recent trip
South. Referring to the estimation
in which the people of the South
and those of the North hold the ne
gro he said: "Tbe Suutherner does
not like the negro any better than
the average Northerner does and
the two carry themselves toward
the negro with just about the same
degree of Christian consideration;
only, of the two, the Southern white
man has perhaps this advantage, that
he does not make quite SO tiamboyant
a pretense of loving the negro as his
Northern confrere does. The South
ern white man dislikes negro and
owns M to it. The white man in
the North dislikes the negro and lies
about IT," He stated further that
, 1.-The discriminating act by which
the negroes had conferred upon
them the right to vote, was one of
those blunders that it is not easy to
escape from after once 1t is commit
ted, but which it would seem we

mans hip sufficiently intelligent to
prevent" The doctor is partly mis-
taken; the Southern white man
does not dislike the negro, so
long as the negro keeps his place.
The "undiscriminating acts" of
Northern statesmen as that
to which ne refers in his sermon

for all descriptions that have taken
place between the whites and blacks

SAD BUT TRUE.

The following clipping from the
Nashville American, unquestion-
ably voices the public sentiment OF
that city, where the character. heb
its and personnel of the recent leg
islature was best known. The
American says;
LAS to charges and rumors of cor.
ruption and bribery, no Legislature

smirched; there was never more
general belief in the dishonesty of a
larger number of members than OBJ

matter OF humiliation to many of its
members who are sensible of the es-
mate that has been put upon itand
who recognize that the estimate Is
Just. None has cause to feel more
indignant over the conduct of the
members who have brought re-
proach upon the body than those
members who have been guiltless OF
wrong-and these constitute the ma.
jority.
