The United States Supreme
Court in the case brought by the
State of Iowa against the State
oi Illinois to determine the di-
Tiding line between the two
States, , held that the true
boundary line is the middle of
the principal channel of nav
igation in the Mississippi rirer.
This decision may be correct,
but it is liable to serious diffi
culties. For instance, the chan
nels or mersdonot always re
main in the same place Time
oftens makes rreat chancres.
and hence boundaries ly the
decision are necessarily very
flexible.
Again, many cities are by the
decision placed part in one State

The Kegre in the South.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, of New
York-, is writing some excellent
articles for the New York Her
ald on the negro in the South,
la his last article on Negrj Edu
cation in Southern States, he
shows what we are deing to
wards educating this race, and
says the South today is making
more sacrifices for the educa
tion of the negro than many
Northern States, including the
wealthiest and most cultured.
He contrasts North Carolina
with Massachusetts, showing
that our own State, in propor
tion te wealth, makes about one
quarter greater sacrifice for the
cause of pepular education
than Massachusetts. However,
he thinks that the education
of the negro through our com
mon schools iH more or less of a
failure, and more or less of a
curse. That there is a lack of
industrial training, and along
with the rudiments of learning
colored children too often ac
quire a positive distaste for
manual . labor. They get the
idea into their heads that they
must "rise," and are taught to
despise the plough, the smith his
anvil, the carpenter his tools,
consequently the South is not
producing competent negro far
mers, smiths and carpenters
Rev. Dixon thinks reforms are
imperatively needed and he is
right, too. He speaks of one of
our most prominent' colored
men in the following manner:
One of the brainiest negroes
in America, one of the truest
men I know, black or white, is
the Rev. J. C. Price, president
of Livingston College, North
Carolina. He is president of the
Afro-American League, which
has for its purpose the elevation
of the negro through education
and the accumulation of proper
ty. This wau is not simply a
true lover of his race he is a
man of the highest attainment
of character, au orator of mag
nificent power. He will bo re
membered aa the man whoiu
President Cleveland appelated
Minister te Liberia in his first
term, but who declined the post,
which be did cot seek, and has
coatinued his work in this little
village of North Carolina.
Price SAye of the negio, in one
of hie recent addresses to an
audience of negroes: "Change
the condition of the negro, aud
you will change tne attitude of
the white race toward him.
Black is net what is the matter
with you people; it is simply be
cauuejou are dirty and ignorant
and superstitious. Change your
condition, and I will guarantee
the world will change its atti
tude toward you."

The World's Fair is not to be
opened with an invocation, at !
the Local Directory of the fair
does not think prayer is eaten
tial to launch the exposition;
successfully. According to the;
revised pregramme just stnt out
by the Executive Board the
open iog and closing prayers of j
the inaugural exercises are left f
eut. The reasons gives for this ;
action are said to be the difilcul ;
tyof selecting a minister who
would be agreeable te all
churches aod "prayers are sot
necessary on such an occasion'
says one of the directors. '
Prayer may, or may not. be
necessary en aucn an occasion,
but it has always been custo
mary to invoke a blessing on all
such undertakings, and we
think the custom of our country
should be observed on this oc
casion by all means,

Dr. Probst, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, of Col
umbus, O., appeared before the
Pastors' Union of that town and
urged their co operation in two
sanitary reforms. One is to
stop the custom ef indiscrimin
ate kissing and the other to
abolish the use e the same cup
in the administration of "the
sacrament by savoral hundred
people.
Dr. PrOfcst explained Jrat the
most certain aiid-ihost danger
ous transmission of the germs
of disease is by Ytis mouth to
mouth method. "He cited the
almoBt universal habit among'
ladies of k issin j friends on
greeting them - or bidding
them good-by, cf Jdssing babies
and children and urging babies
and children tokiaseach other.
Pastors, too, usually consider
It a part of their duty to Lies
the babies of theu'.parishioners.
All this was well meant, but it
was as dangerous as it was per
functory in many cases. lie
quoted Moses as K sanitarian on
this subject, and said'the great
lawgiver would not have toler
ated either the kissing or-the
common cup custom In the sac
rasaental administration. The
clergymen asked fVr some prac
tical suggestions: as to how to
obviate the danger pointed out
in the communion service. Sev
eral were given, -but the one
considered practical was that
each cominuuic-jit have his
own cup. A resolution to io
all pesbible to briug abeut these
reforms was adored.
The Dr. evidently does net
like kissing and the Tuuult of
his crusade r.gaiuat it will bo
anxiously watchd , alo that of
.he b?ramental ci.p reform.
The merchant, as he writes
up his books and makes up bio
balance sheet, carries to profit
and loss the sum total of his
operations. There is an import
ant sense in which every one
may profitably ir.lute his ex
ample. It is weli to take an
account of stock, to look over
the debit and credit account, to
ascertain whuther expenses
have outrun the income, and to
see how the sccol at stands be
tween us an I th? world, witii
our own consciences and with
our God. It may be the round
of day by day, of month by
month, and year by year, in

of leading us t review ui
capabilities, our trusts and cur
obligations.
Mcbat IIalsiead thinks that
every Congress should have its
own president in other words,
that the presidential term
should not be extended to six
years, but reduced to two. Oth

terms of office and larger pover

only; sure one is to begin with
