In discussing the recent race riot at
Atlanta the No,thern papers gener.
ally have taken g very calm view Of
the situation. There is a notable ab.
sence OF abuse OF tho South. The
following from the Philadelphia Led
ger is fair sample of the oomment,
OF the Northern prass on the race
problem Ia the Sou6r, and 1t would
be we'll for the negro to take notice:
A dtz'n years ago it was the fash

South for lyuchings, aud to try to
