ARP ON THE NEGVO. THE NORTIT-I'S IGNORANCE OF Sosie R t'e:ectioasolli, to il Fith i t' I ni. ,4 oWHO Convevet by 1'..rimat I si Nom141pallite - i-K N ega inot lolp- Socili !4llklkl. I recoived a letter th oter dty from1 a Virginian who thinks of* m11ovilg South, and he wanted to know how long it would t4ko him and his fAmily to be come acclimated, and what, was the safest time of the year to make the change, Ifhe had ever been South he would not have asked such ques tions. Most of the Northern :people associate the South with malaria aud bad, sickly weather. They look on the map and see the parallels of lai tude, and so form their opinions. Well, there is some malarial couu.ry away down South somewhere, but up here in Georgia we talk alpout going to Florida to spend the winter, just like the Northern people do. The only difference between Georgia and Virginia is that our winters are shorter and milder, and our summers longer and cooler. The climate is just vigor ous and bracing. Now, it, is a fact that, the Southern people know a great deal more about. the North than their people know about us. Th) tendency of' travel is northward, and has always beet, o. A hundred travelers would go north to where one cai south. Bitsiness and pleasure called them there. Until the great army of drummers camue into ex istence, the Southern merchants went, north twice a year to buy their goods, their spring stock and fill stock, amd they became well acquainted with the people and their manners and customs and politics and religion. For sevu years I was a :nercliant and miingleol with them froi Boston to Phlili.lel phia, but none of them came soaith to mingle with me. Before the war we sent hundreds of our boys to Nort he n colleges, but they never send any to ours. We have always taken their newspapers and imagazince4, but, they have never taken ours. Thousands of our wealthy people visit their watering places and their great cities every summer, but they never visit ours, and so they are still imcquaint ed,with us. In recent. years a good many af their imbol)s :a l invalit% tak a straight. ,hoot, for lorid.a cyiry win ter, but tliy o in Pullman sleepers with thei cnirtaiii lown, and when itthey get thero they hudtle togetih-r i-I a fine hotel at live dollars a day aind don't get acquaintel with (lie natives and don't. want to. They coie chiock full of the plrvjudi(.icec4 of a century, prejudices t hat, ar part, of their re. ligion aid they don't wait. to lose them. You m1igIt. as vell try to get a Baptist, or a Me-thodi,;t, or at Jew, to change hi religion. There i.- but one chanel openl tu remova.1l of prejudice and that is through t.he pooket. The only hope of promol ing pweace is in get ting acqtuaint ed, and thte only hope of gettinig acquaiinted is through busiine.-s channels. lRu-sell H arrison camne down to Atlanta to a baniquiet and he be haved like a gentleman, and 1 expect ha is a geuitleman, but lhe has gone 1:ack helieving that our' p)eople areo kidling and pe.rseculting the niegr'oes and1( roIbbi Republllicanh piotmast er. ais a genere bus! inessiO, aL k indl o(fonuO mont. But our climate and ouri mine ral tr'easures are drawing their good popIle down ho prett.y fast. Trhey are investinag thiir money and1( they03 stay to watch it, andl t he loniger they stay the bettor' they like uis. Thieir deep concern about, the negro sooni pase away andl the rac problem huighiear vaishesl( imto a miyth. TPhe tr'uth is, there are too many alarmists ab)out thie negro, even inl our1 own sec tion. T1here is plenty of room her'e for white and for black, and wvill be for a century to comne. I can'tsee any vol cano nor' hear' its mnutter'ings. 'The race priioblem ihas atlreadly lbeen solved in other' countruies. I was talk ing to a tr'avetir a few days ago---a mamn who hats seen enough of thie worlid and human ity and governmsent to cant cel all his piej udices, and causo him to look upon01 eorythinlg wi tb the eye of' ia philosopher01. Not, lon g ago lie tOk a tr'ip to the Windward islainds, the little Antilles, andi spent 50ome weeks upon01 them. He visited St. Kitts and Dominica and Antiguia and1( Bar - hadoes and Triniidad, and found the English people in charge, and ail thotugh the population was mostly niegr'oes, there was nio tr'oulie any w~hereC. Theire w~as no social equality, nor' any othber equalit.y. England makes their laws and they have t o obey t hetm. The English r'ule is kind aml)( htumane, but it is firm and absolute. In those islands thero are about thiirty thous andI whites and t.hree hundrted thotus and negroes. Thoso negroes wer'o emanciplated in 1843, and1( they are. flow pretty much what, the were then. S4omne indlustrious, some lazy, somet v'aga bonds(1, some b'eggar's, but all dlependlet upon tihe white iman and happy ill in thlat dIepend(ence;, 'They have p)lenty of reoligion and ar'e contenlt with theo present and have buit, litt.le conern' with the future. They culiti vate tim lands and make all the sugar and( 1mo lasses. The lands are ownued b)y En glish landlords, whlo live itn London. The governor-genoeral is apphointedi by the cirown, and he has enough oflicers and agenits to enfoi'e the laws and keep the peaco. Negro p)oicomoen areo appointed to kcep order am .ng tho negroes, andl they (10 it. Now, what is the matter with this picture? Nothing. It is just the same pictuc~e that is hetre Right hero in this conmmunity we have some honest industrious negroes wh'loI work regularly ever'y (lay, and are clever, law-abiding citiv.ens. We have others wno work when they feel like it and steal whenU they dhon't,. About half the boys fr'om ten to eighteen are street v'aganonds, who run the streets I and th - (depot plat forms. and( ar'e ready to make a nickel at anything that ise quick and easy. They laugh and frolic and are gre asy and ragged and dirty and smell loud, and are perfectly hap--~ p y. Sometimes the y steal ai half lol lar's worth of something and atone for it by breaking up rocks on the streets for a week, but they don't care so thtey a, get enough to eat. These boys are not the exception but are the rLule. If the I law was enforced the last rascal of 11 them would be in the chaingang~ but, 8 our people won't enfor :e it. We don't S want to, our felngs or sympathy for I the little vagabonds prevent a prose- a cution for these little pilferings. They 1] wait upon us so willingly and black I our shoes, and carry our parcels, and bring our water, and sweep out our i, -ofBoces, and carry Bwet notes from ther boy. to the girls and vice versa, and e * are always on hand waiting for a lckol, and so we take the bad wit.1 he good and are .ontent.
