II is said that ignorance of the
law excuses no one. That is a very
fine axiom, and it ought to be applied
wherever it is deserved. But 1t
seems like a very petty business, rath-
er uncalled for, for officers of the
law to alight upon and prosecute in
corporated firms because in their
printed advertisements they used
zine" instead of the full word I'm
corporated." 1t is simply new read
ing of the law which needed nothing
more severe than attention called to
it. when it would, of couse, have been
obeyed.

A Lesson in Figures.

The News Leader says that con-
siderable number of our people shrank
from and a few actually opposed the
methods introduced here for securing The
10000 for the new Young Mems Chris
tlan Association building.
Quite true, and no criticism, for taste
is not to be disputed. But in order to
preserve the record 1t is well enough TO
add that some 400 of our people con-
tributed to the fund. being 1868 more
than the total number of all votes cast
in Richmond in the congressional cleo
ton last fall. Forty-four hundred con-
tributors to 1852 voters is not a bad ex-
hIbit. and indicates that goodly portion
at least of Richmond's most liberal citl-

The Difference.

The third census of the State of Florida
shows that in twelve counties of that
State there are $3.50 whites and 147l.S
negroes. In every one OF these counties
the negro population exceeds thu white
population. Tho negroes, says the Times
Union, are numerous in the northern part
of the State and few IN the southern
part In counties bordering Georgia ard
Alabama there arc 1D2.s5O negroes and
aS.S17 whites. In the entire State of Con-
necticut there are 4,576 negroes of goting
age; in Delaware. S,37i; in Illinois, 2g,763;
in Indiana, 1873; in New Jersey, l,474;
in New York, BIAS; in Ohio. sl.2S5.
These figures show the vast difference
between the negro problem in the North
and the negro problem in the South. In
tie States just named the voting popu-
lation among the negroes is large enough
to be reckoned with, but in most of the
Northern States the negro is no more
q factor than the Chinaman is in the
South. They are scattered hero and
there and very few communities have
enough of them to make a problem. ;"
1t is an entirely different proposition in
a state where the negro population is
equal to, orin excess of, the white popu-
lation. The Northern States deal with
the negro as an individual here and there
The Southern States deal with negroes
en- masse and as a race. one swallow

agree to such exemption, and there Is no
use In arguing that question. However,
