SHERLOCK HOLMES NEEDED.

From the Springfield Republican.
 Sherlock Holmes is sadly needed in Nazareth, a Pennsylvania town where 125 dogs have been killed in the past two years by mysterious poisoner, who feeds them liver-pudding enforced by strych- nine. On his last night ont he dosed sev- enteen dogs and fifteen of them died. And yet no one is suspected. Nazareth must .have an exaggerated passion for dogs. but it would seem to lack it's quota of men who can see through a grlndstone as far as the man that made it. The poisoner appears to have method in his madness. for pointers, settlers and hounds are the majority of his victims. He is probably not so much coniphobist as venantiphobst. and some good hunter ought to run him down without half as much difficulty as Holmes had with the hound of the Baskervilles.

Have Led the Crusade.
Quotes from Bishop Strange.

"The Bishop first enters an emphatic plea against any social intermingling of the races; a question which must of course. be left to the people of each com munity to settle for themselves, as in such a matter no one community-and ia. deed no one individual-can dictate to any other; always provided that in each locality men keep in mind the fact that there must be no confusing of civil privil- eges with social intercourse. Civil law can not regulate social practices. Society, as such, is a law unto itself and will al- ways regulate it's own practices and hab-
 it's. Full recognition of the fundamental fact that all men should stand on an equal footing, as regards civil privileges.
 in no way interferes with recognition of the further fact that all rehecting men of both races are united in feeling that race purity must be maintained
 "The Bishop continues:
 What should the white men of the south do for the negro. They must give him free hand, q fair field, and a cor dial godspeed, the two races working to- gether for their mutual benefit and for the development of our common country. He must have liberty. equal opportunity to make his living. to earn lis bread, to build his home. He must have justice. equal rights and protection before the law. He must have the game political privileges; the suffrage should be based on character and intelligence for white and black alike. He must have the same public advantages of education; the pub lie schools are for all the people. what ever their color or cond- ion The white men of the south should give hearty and respectful consideration to the exceptions al men of the negro race, to those who have the character. the ability and the desire to be lawyers. physicians. teach CTS. preachers. leaders of thought and conduct among their own men and wo- men. We should give them cheer and opportunity to gratify every laudable ambition, and to seek every innocent sat isfaction among their own people. Fin ally, the best white men of the south should have frequent conferences with the best colored men, where, in frank earnest and sympathetic discussion they might understand each other better smooth difficulties, and so guide and en- courage the weaker race
 Express Substantial Agreement. Surely we can all of us join In ex. pressing our substantial agreement with the principles thus laid down by this North Carolina bishop, this representa- tive of the Christian thought of the south.
