To the colored people of Georgia, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other southern
states:
We are in receipt of communication from
Mr.. w. G Byrd, 675 Hood St. Portland,
Ore, who says that excellent opportunities
are now offered for progressive colored men
and won who wish to improve their oppor
tunitiea. There is great demand for them,
as the white people of that section of the
country are getting tired of Japs and China
men; they do not want anything but progress
i've and industrious colored men and women.
No loafer or those who idle the year around
need look towards Oregon, as the laws are
very strict against that class and are rigidly
enforced.
1t strikes us very forcibly the colored peo-
pie of these states who wish to better their
condition shotld go to a state like Oregon,
where the laws are more equally interpreted.
The schools are mixed, the laws are admin
istered according to justice, and seldom, if
exer, do the people judge by the color when
it comes to business. Take advantaSe of the
opportunity and scatter oxer the great North
west.-Topeka Plaindealet.

out warrant against him, charging criminal
assault Not only was Burton acquitted of
the charge, but the browd of white people in

POPE'S ENCYCLICAL LETTER.
Is Topic Of Absorbing Interest
in France.

Paris, Aug. 16.-The pope's en-
cyclical letter to the French arch
bishops and bishops regarding the
separation law continues to be the
topic here of absorb ng interest, but
the discussion is largely polemical,
as the law, not taking effect until
December, gives ample time for re-
Fiction. Moreover, the absence of
all high personages, officials or par
lament, defers an exact determine
ton of the governments course.
Nothing similar in the inventory
riots has occurred or is expected to &C.
cur either in Paris or the province,
although the actual application of
the law in December will accentuate
the situation.
NJ. BRAND, minister of public wor-
ship, is absent from Paris, but the
Tempus today gathered the views of
several high officials, who point out
that the encyclical is merely neg
tive in form, condemning the cultur-
al associations provided by the law,
but giving no real instructions rela-
tive to the bishops future course.
The pope's intention is regarded in
government circles as leaving the bish-
ops free to act in the way which to
them seems best, without exacting
a violent conflict between the civil
and religious powers. The pope prob
ably entertained the after thought
that the government might possibly,
by means of negotiations, be induced
to assent to the formation of an asso-
citation, which while carrying out the
spirit of the law, would recognize
the divine constitution Of the church,
the Interchangeable rights of the pom
tiff and the heirachy's complete con-
troll of sacred ediflces.
However, this hypothesis, if true,
has not, according to the semioff1cial
veiw, any great chance of realization,
such a project not being considered
acceptable by the government, which
regards the law as it exists as incapa-
BILE of modification. Unless there is
a marked change of view before the
law goes into effect in December both
sides will need to exercise the most
extreme moderation, for otherwise
religious strife is inevitable.
The Assumption day service at the
churches were attended by
great crowds. The day was observed
as national holiday, all the govern
ment officers, the banks and the
bourse being closed. The govern
ment observances of the church holt
day as commented upon as an anoma-
ly in connection with the present
controversy between the vatican and
the French government.

They owned no rigs, but rented
