Illinois and the Negroes.

The great State of Illinois is bad ont
for negroes. In some parts Of the State
they arc being driven from their homes
= he ffBchool.h8gses and churches are des.
troyed and oil kinds Of work is denied
them. just TO think thpt these outrages
occur outside OF Mississippi or the South,
and to note how silent the press of/rthe
North Is about them. Slows thlA the
South is, after all, the best prace for the
negro.
Here in Nazoo tity they work with no
Que to make them afraid to do do them
bodily harm On the farms they are ma
king corn, cotton aud other farm products
They own their own homes, many of them;
have their own churches ana schools and
when at work are respected II is only

trouble.
To those who are restless here under there
conditions the Herald would refer to
the following, which appeared in Mon.

Chicago June l5.-In the Republican
State of Illinois and In the Republican
county OF Saline more than one hundred
negroes have been driven from the county

nearly all their lives in the county, and |
against whose character there has never (
been complaint, have been compelled to /
sell their homes at sacrifice, abandon 4
their crops, leave their jobs, and seek |
homes elsewhere.
The public school for negroes, taught
by Miss Alice Towles. has been closed,
the pupils having neen driven out of the
town. The Eldorado Normal aud Indus
