Caste Among Negroes.
Albany Herald.
The race problem is being grad
ually extended into the commu
nities of the north and is as
suming all sorts of unlooked-for
phases. For instance, we Bee that,
in Indiapolis a movement is' be-
iug pushed by the industrious col
ored people to drive out' the idle
and trifling element among the
blacks in order to remove the
cause for the numerous clashes
between the white people and the
criminal negroes.
There is a suggestion in this for
the better class of negroes in the
south. The - driving out process
oould not, perhaps, be made gen
eral and effective enough to rid
our southern communities of all
the trifling and disreputable ne
groes, but the better element of
the race could, by associating
themselves together, draw a line
of distinction between themselves
and the lower class, and thus sep
arate themselves, socially and
otherwise, from such of their race
as are not of good character.
We have in every community
in this southern country negroes
who are good citizens in every
sense of the word—men and wo
men of character who deport
themselves with due regard for
the laws of God and man, and
who have seme regard for the so
cial and moral proprieties bo far
as their own conduct and the ex
ample set for their own families
are concerned and can avail; but
the environments of most of them
are suoh that they find it difficult
to exclude their families at all
times from corrupting associates
and influences;
What the respectable negroes
of every community ought to do
is to establish a well defined so
cial line by which their class may
de distinguished at all times and
under all circumstances from the
low and characterless class. The
white people do this. Why can
not the negroes do it, too? The
negroes imitate the whites l in
many things, why not in this?
Why shouldn’t there be caste
among negroes as well as among
white people?
A negro will always be a negro
in this country, but there are ne
groes and negroes—good negroes
and bad negroes; respectable ne
groes and those who are disrepu
table and Without honor or self
respect, and it is time lor the
good.and respectable ones to sep
arate themselves in their social
relations from the bad and dis
reputable.
Robert J. Burdette, the humor
ist, has given up the lecture plat
form and accepted a call to be
pastor of a Baptist church at Los
Angeles, Oal. Mr. Burdette’s pas
torate is yet new. He has been
in charge only d few weeks, yot it
is said his caugregation is in
creasing by leaps and boudds. If
he puts as much good humor,
kindly feeling and sunshine into
sermons as he hadj into his lec
tures-and stories, he will prove a
popular and successful pastor.—

The proposed amalgamation of
all the Protestant church organi
zations in the evangelical field,
launched by the International
Christian Endeavor Convention, is
a movement of the first magni
tude iu the religious world. The
inspiration of its leaders is noth
ing less than th’e desire to unite
all the Protestant denominations
cn the globe as an active force to
disseminate the doctrine of Pro
testant Chrsstian religion. The
Christian Endeavor Society was
organized in the last quarter of
tlie nineteenth ceutury. At the
end of the first decade there were
16,274 societies, with nearly
1,000,000 members, and today the
8,000 delegates who assembled in
Denver represent 68,000 societies,
with a membership of 8,800,000.
Five years ago it was believed
that the organization had reaoned
its maximum strength, but, con
trary to all expectations, the so
ciety has outgrown the most san
guine expectations of it’s foun
ders.
At the outset their object was
to stimulate loyalty to the local
churches and denominations
while cultivating interdenomina
tional fellowship, and, this ideal
struck a responsive ohord in most
of the evangelical cburohes. The
proposed merger of the Protestant
propagandas contemplates the
amalgamation of the Christian
Endeavor Society, the Epworth
League, the Baptist Union and
all ether Protestant Christian so
cieties engaged in the work of
proselyting, This plan, if car
ried into effect, cannot fail to have
a tendency to gradully eliminate
all friotion and all creed distinc
tions among the great body of
Protestants in America and Eu
rope. While standing for the
same idea of fellowship and in
struction the Endeavorers assem-*
bled at Denver represent many
widely different societies of
church government and many
variations of creed, but the all-
absorbing desire to enlist in the
active work of evangelization the
young people of all Protestant
churches appear to have softened
whatever asperities there may
exist among the discordant church
elements and is rapidly molding
the rank and file of Christian
workers into one harmonious
army
A new use has been found for
telegraph wires. Dr. Laska,
Polish meteorologist, has studied
the humming sound they emit
occasionally, and has found that
it is not caused by the wind, as
commonly supposed. . Eydatn’s
observations, extending over sev
eral years, show that these sounds
always indicate approach of rain,
snow or a storm, and Laska in
clines to the belief that they are
in some way caused, by terrestrial
vibrations induced by meteoro
logical changes.

Our Food and Our Drink.
Augusta Herald
Whin the roommate of a stu
dent at one of the universities
who died not long ago was ques
tioned on the cause of his friend’s
death, he said: “Hp tried to.live
on health principles and he
couldn’t stand it.”
Long before this it was demon
strated to the satisfaction of the
demonstrators at least, that there
was not strength enough iu cereal
food alone to keep up a man’s vi
tality. At the same time, we are
assured, on the very best authori
ty, that it is exceedingly injurious
to eat much meat in the summer
time. The chemist for the De
partment of Agriculture says “the
devil lurks in the soda water
fountain, and iced tea is simply
suicide. The same wise man tells
us that danger lurkB in vegeta
bles grown on or under ground
which has • been exposed to impu
rities by sewage, city wastes or
garbage. Milk has long been a
forbidden beverage because of
possible diseases the most care-
Tilly tended cow may have inher
ited.
What then is to be done? Al
cohol drinkB are, of course, im
possible, and all the disease of
the tropies are said to lurk in the
fruits, while in all cities less fa
vored than Augusta the drinking
water conceals terrors unspeaka
ble beneath the sparkling surface.
It would seem that we are neither
to drink nor eat, that is if we
would live and be well and happy.
It is true that many of us are m
the condition of the man who was
told by his physician that coffee
was a slow but sure j poison. Hia
reply was that it must be very
slow for its process of poisiouing
him had been going on for eighty-
odd years. Still it is more, ooom-
fortablb to know that our food isi
scientifically approved of, aud so
it is sincerely to be hoped that th®
dangers threatening us will be
lessened by Congress passing a
pure food {nil at its next session.
The law barring adulterated
food products when exported from,
foreign countries which has just
been adopted, will create renewed
interest in the subject amorig our
legislators who, it is hoped, will
soon be made to see the wisdom
of making a pure food law, to ap
ply against domestic products as
well as imported goods.
The Hepburn pure-food bill, it
will be remembered, was passed by
the lower house of congress last
year, but was lost in the senate in
the deadlock over the Statehood,
bill. The hope of those intensely
interested in this that so closely
concerns the health of the nation
is that the next congress will pass
a bill similar to the Hepburn
measure, and that immediately
the State Legislatures can be pre
vailed upon to enact such laws in
this connection as will make the
prbvisions of the measure effective.
Brutally Tortured.
A case came to light that for
persistent and unmerciful torture
has perhaps never been equaled.
Joe Golobickof Colusa, Cal, writes
“For 15 years I endured insuffer
able pain from Rheumatism and
nothing relieved me though I tried
everything known. I came across
Electric Bitters and it’s the great
est medicine on earth for that
trouble. A few bottles of it com
pletely relieved and cured me.”

troubles and general debility. Sat
