The author of “An 4-Ppeal Pharaoh” is by no means alone in the opinion that ‘moving on’ might be good thing—perhaps the best possi ble thing under the actual conditions —for the black man himself, and that it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the Southern states of this union At their recent national convention in" Indianapolis the colored Baptists passed resolutions unanimously and amid “deafening” applause, declar ing that poor and oppressed peopl had “always migrated westward where they could get lands in new countries, and thus grow up with them and become the great men of those new communities,” and asking the President of the United States to recommend to congress an appropria tion of Sf)0,000,000 “to aid the color' cd people to leave the South.” In a recent interview Bishop Tur ner of Atlanta, himself a negro and leading spirit among the negro Methodists, said to the interviewer: The black men of the South largely meditating the subject of en gratioiij and if the Uuited States would put on a line of steamers be tween this country and Africa I be lieve that at least a million would leave the country within ten years, -Nothing hut poverty keeps ns here at present. Many of us do not believ that any scheme ot emigration to the West^ can be a remedy for existing evils. Some of tbs Mexican author! tics, I have been informed, are anx ious that we should move in and settle their unpopulated territory. I told that we would be received with open arms, piovided thut-wc could come in n selfreliant condition.' Governor Lee of Virginia says that in his 'state the white man and the black man are “drifting apart.” He is sorry for it, but cannot shut his eyes to the fact. The alienation is increasing, the gap widening year by year. As one of the results, the white man is becoming less and less willing to pay taxes—school and other—for the black man’s benefit. “There seems to be no hope,” "says Governor Lee, “of ever establishing cordial and kindly relations between them. This is cliiefly the fault of the colored peo ple, and they will bo the chief suffer ers by it.” Senator Wade Hamptou, of South Carolina, not only thiuks with the governor of North Carolina that the departure of the black nmu would be blessing to the Southern states, but thinks further that the whole country would share in the benefit, and that the black man himself would be the gainer by it. The senator seconds the motion of the colored Baptists for an appropriation of public money for the purpose by congress. He says Gen. Grant was in favor of it. If the negro wanted to go into the Western territories he would he for helping them to do so, but he thinks migra tion to Mexico or one of the islands off the coast would be more judicious. There is no doubt,” the senator is quoted as saying, “that the colored man is growing restless and dissatisfi- The young onesare not so thrifty the old ones were, and the cduca tion they arc receiving is unfitting them to ire laborers. Their presence U.aiso keeping desirable' white immi gration from the South. Taken alto gether, if something is not done to divert it, the friction between the two races must -sooner or later end in blood-shed and loss of life.” On the other hand the Hon.- John Maiming, an ante-bellum governor South Carolina, who owned vast plantations and many hundreds of negroes and had an annual income considerably • above half a million dollars, tells the New York Commer cial Advertiser that the pessimists don’t see ^things ns they are and consequently imagine perils that have no real existence—at any rate in South Carolina. “Go among the industrious blacks,” ho says, “in the villages and on the plantations. Select the thrifty and self-respecting, who are to lie found everywhere (ex cept possibly on the sea islands), and but one answer will be given. All will testify to their growing prospeH ty, and to their contented and peace ful lives. They will show that the so-called race problem is fast settling itself, and that' time, education and religious influences will soon obliterate it altogether, if political demagogues and sensational writers will but let it alone.” WHEN MEN MAKE LOVE. A Hopeful State. We have great hopes of Montana. It is a young state. Iu fact it is just being born into the union, but it is a promising baby. It is democratic to start with. The people of that state have proved that the}' despise the doctrine of taxation for spoils. The people of Montana evidently think that n tariff for pro tection which fosters a levy of federal taxation on the masses for the purpose of fattening the pockets ot manufac turers is 'an unjust and outrageous perversion of the functions of the government. These good people have incorporated the following sec tions in the constitution, which they have recently adopted by an over whelming majority: Section 20. No incorporation, stock company, persons, or association of persons, in the state of Montana shall directly or indirectly combine or form what is known as a trust, or raake^any contract with any person or persons, corporation or stock com pany, foreign of domestic, through am their stockholders, trustees, or in any manner whatever) for the purpose of fixing the price and regulating the production of any article of commerce or of the product of the soil for con sumption by the people. The legisla tive assembly shall pass laws for the enforcement hereof by adequate pen alties to the extent, if necessary for that purpose, of the forfeiture of their property and franchises, or, in case of .foreign corporations, prohibiting them from carrying on business iu this state.” , The young state of Montana lias acted wisely and justy in electing democratic officers, because the Dem ocratic parly is the enemy of trusts, subsidies and all illegitimate profits that are now drawn from 'the people under the pious fraud of “protection.” The framers of the Montana constitu tion did a good think when thev inser ted a section^ in the orgnnic'law of that incipient state which makes the author or manipulator of a trick to prices a public enemy. After a while that class of depredators will learn that this is a government of the peo ple.—Macon Telegraph. A Lively Actress Reveals Some Interest ing Points on the Subject. From the New York World: “A Frenchman is the most delicate and persistent of suitors,” said Marie Halton, the Franco-American opera boufle singer, in a recent interview. “Repel his advance and he ' redoubles his attentions. If you treat him cool ly his bouquets gradually increase size and beauty. Not all at once, mind you. He does nothing to create surprise and put the object of his sentimental attacks on the qui vivo. Your true Frenchman is an artist in love as in everything else. The bouquet increases in size almost im perceptibly day by day, and delicate attentions of all kinds which serve to soften the perverse heart of a woman are multiplied after the same careful and mathematical fashion. The amount of time a Frenchman will give to the besieging of a citadel is, in itself, the most deiicnte compliment he can pay to the object of his devo tion. And it is for this reason that Frenchman are ussually successful in their love affairs. Men who at first acquaintance are positively distaste ful succeod in mingling their person ality, after a time, so thoroughly with a multitude of pleasant attentions, that the first unfavorable impressions are altogether obliterated. “The American, on the other hand, carries into his love-making the ideas which have proven successful in his business. His chief object seems to bo to save time. He measures his suc cess in love not so much by what he captures as the time he lias expended in winning a victory. He it in .the^. habit of taking’'everything for grants * The Great Heart of “Sunset” Cox. roin the Altoona Register. There was a secret by which he never grew old. There was a secret by which he won his way independ ent of his talents. There was a pow- within him greater than talents, was i:i his heart and not his head— in his love for his kind that directed his talents, that kept him unspotted from the world of politics. That was his secret and that heart was full of Christian charity, of lirond tolerance; he revered God, and by his great kindness won his neighbor and dis armed his enemy.

The Philadelphia Record, says: “As long ns cotton shall be grown and used for cloth, the cotton manu factures established in the southern states will be a permanent and flourishing industry. in his manner that he does so. No woman wants a man to think that she is easily won, and no mode of pro ceeding could be more impolitic. The American is introduced to a lady, and in half an hour expects to be treated like a life-long friend. I believe that in your American game of poker what you call ‘bluffing’ is a very ordinary mode of procedure. As I understand it ‘bluffing’ is an attempt to convince your opponent that you hnvc a mort gage on all the cards in the pack worth having, nud you really have nothing. That illustrates my point perfectly. An American carries the game of bluff into his wooing. lie practically says: ‘I hold all the win ning cards, and when I get ready will simply lean over and collar the pot.’ And he says this with n confi dent air highly exasperating to his opponent, who, of course, in this case happens to be the lady. “In the matter of presents, the American is also very different from the Frenchman. He is more lavish than the Frenchman is, aud often generous to extravagance. But he shows little or no discretion. A Frenchman is introduced to a lady upon whom lie is desirous of making n good impression. The next day lie sends her a bouquet of choice- flowers, and the next a box of boubous. It 4ilay be weeks after the introduction before he will make a call, aud the diamond stage is readied only after months of acquaintanceship. When an American meets a lady lie desires to win; he will call the following day and bring a diamond broocli or brace let. The day following lie will send a grand piano oftnything else which happens to strike his fancy. Should he receive no encouragement from the lady ot his choice, he does not, as in the case of the Frenchman, con tinue sending presents until his per sistence compels recognition. He simply transfers his attentions .to some other quaiter. “The difference between a French man and an Englishman may be seen by the way each looks at a woman on horseback. A Frepcbraan looks first of all at the woman; an Englishman first of all at the horse. The Ameri can looks at both together.” CHURCHMEN CALL A HALT. A Law and Order League Organized Last Night. Macon Telegraph. A war on the gamblers and disrep utable characters in Macon will open in a few days. The first step toward the organization of the forces was tak en last night, and as a series of meet ings to consider the subject arc booked for an early day, it is more than prob able that all will be in readiness beiore the close ol the month for a vigorous fight. As usual a large congregation was present last night at the prayer service in each of the city churches. At Mul berry Methodist there was an usually large attendance. After the usual services, a leading and influential member of the congre gation arose and mjfde an informal talk about the violations ol the city's laws every day, to the great disgust of all moral and law-abiding citizens. He dwelt upon the subject at great length, and as a result, a motion was made to organize “a law and order league,” to be composed of the leading church members in the city. The motion was most favorably re ceivcd, and talks were made by a half dozen on the subject of the moral condition of Macon. The following gentlemen were at last elected committee to initiate the movement. Messrs Isaac Hardeman,W. R. Rogers. \V. B. Hill, W. G. Solomon and G. R. Glenn. This committee will call on the pas tors and the leading members ot ail the churches and lay the matter beiore them and ask for their co-operation and assistance. The law and order league,” said ne last night, who was in attendance ed, and, what .is worse, plainly shows I on the Mulberry street meeting, "is an absolute necessity. We have stood this condition of affairs long enough, and if only the good and true citizens stand by us, we will rid the proud old city ot her trouble." “Immorality has gone far enough when it debauches the young men of the city, but when ■ it is extended so that it is flaunted in the faces of tax payers, we won’t stand it.” ‘ Yes, sir, this means that a ‘law and order league’ will be the result of the recent gambling tragedies and the con tinued violation of the laws.” RIGHTS OF THE NEGROES. An Appeal Issued by the Illinois State Convention. SfitiNOFiKMi, Iu,., Oct. 9.—The state conference of colored men ad journed last night after issuing au address to the colored people of the state and nation, which sets fortli the object of the organization just effected to be to advance educational interests, the abolishment of separate schools, and to secure the employment of competent colored teachers. After reviewing the condition of the negroes in the south, the alleged outrages to which they are subjected atul the fact that it is not a party, race or state question, but oue of national impor tance, the league makes the following appeal: We appeal to the American people, to congress and the exeoutive head of our government, to men of all parties, to rise above partisau bate and bitter prejudice, and bring to bear the majes ty of the law, to the eud that the life aud property of the American negro may be as safe in Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas, as in the northern states. The address also calls attention to the fact of the opening of new states in the north-west, and advises the colored people south to secure homes there ns one step toward overcoming the southern question. Mclver and Baker will re-open the Duvaf Hotel, at Jacksonville, about Oct. loth. The house has been renovated and refitted during the sum mer, and is now in better condition than it has been in since it was open ed. LIVY’S Laid Success, -FOR- READ, READ! And Profit by the Same.
