A SERIOUS SUGGESTION.
A solid South can be dissolved, accord-
Ins to The Macon Telegraph, only by an
equitable distribution of the colored peo
ple throughout the I'nlnn. We do not
suppose that our contemporary make*
this augseetion with any Idea that It Ih
practicable hut merely for the purnoao
of Impressing the North with tn« fart
that the Southern while people must re
tain control of their own state govern
ment a Irecause the htige mass of negro
population raises n race uiieetlon tha
must dominate all others. Northern
who live In the Smith long enough to
understand conditions there almost uni
versally agree to th1a. even though Re
publicans In their national politics.—Phil
adelphia Rocord.
Ths Telegraph’s suggestion as to
“an equitable distribution” Is serious
and not mere "pollth s ” as the Record
seems to suppose. Already there Is u
movement of wh’tes southward und
blacks northward toward the desired
rrHult. All thnt the former movement
needs is greater snd more Intelligent
activity on the part of our Immigra
tion societies and ngt tits. All thnt the
latter movement needs is a removal of
the lingering antique ted opposition to
the emigration of negroes on the part
of an unprogresslve element of South-
t cm whites, nml *tho giowth of ft public
opinion In the North powerful enough
to open the labor unions of that sec
tion to negroes.
It Is to be feared that It will ba much
mors difficult to remova the latter
handicap than the former. And yet
If the Northern people are half aa so
licitous for the wclftre of the negro
race aa they huvo always professed to
he why should they not Insist on giv
ing thnt race a free opportunity to la
bor in all the states north of tho Poto
mac and Ohio and west of the Mlaala-
aippl? Huch a free opportunity la the
greatest blessing that could be con
ferred on the negroes, short of estab
lishing them In a country of their own.
Moreover, no one can deny that they
would be better off If more* or less
equally distributed throughout the
Union, for they would then excite less
prejudice and nowhere be numerous
enough to constitute a "problem.”
Neither the RecOid nor any other
Northern newspaper can fall to see tho
force of this presentation of the mat
ter. Hut the trouble no doubt la thnt
(he editor of the Record shares with
the editors of all the other Northern
newspapers In that perceptible nerv-
nusnesa reused by the Immigration of
negroes from tho Houth. Therefore no
pressure will be brought to bear upon
the Northern tabor unions and the said
Immigration will be otherwise discour
aged Instead of encouraged. Rut thla

NEW YORK, Dar. 12.—Beginning
with heavy declines In Amalgamated
Copper, today’s etock market waa
weak throughout the entire aefilon,
tho occasional rallies falling to hold
prices for more than a few minutes at
time. Although values crumbled
awdy rapidly there waa little excite
ment In the street. Brokers seemed
to have nothing but selling orders,
they aald, and they did not look be
yond that fact, the recent reckless
speculation and the campaign by
newspaper advertisement against
copper stock to find reasons for the
drop In prices. Monty was easy and
loans were made freely but collateral
was scrutinised very carefully. The
market closed weak with prices gene
rally at the lowest. More than two
million shares of stocks changed
hands during the day.
Tho selling wave continued nearly
all the forenoon with only a tempor
ary reaction, and about noon the mar
ket showed further weakness. An im
pressive feature of the forenoon was
the heavy selling by London houses.
The sales of London houses were the
largest In the steel stocks. There was
evidently » good supply of stop loss
orders on hand, but the shorts did not
faro much worse than some others.
The violence of the opening declines
was so great and eo pronounced that
many brokers and traders on the door
were overwhelmed with surprise, and
for a little while were quite non*
plussed. Any market support that
may have existed was without the
slightest effect
