THE ECONOINIIST rcxnsnro rrrsT reuniT. R. B. C&mct Editor E F. Io.mb Business Manair FRIDAY JULY2Stb. 1603. DEATH OF I2TaETS0LL-IXS LSSS02TS. Man dieth and after death cometh tho judgment. How? When? AYhere? In what meas ure? no man knoweth. And God's all wise foresight declar eth that no shall not know. If man be a responsible being, if he be the architect of his own fortune, as his conscious ness declares in every act, if God "renders to every man ac cording to the deeds done in the body," then it follows as the night tho day that there must be a judgement for every man. an even-handed, exact, righteous judgement for all our conduct while in the flesh. And according to his talents and opportunities wilr be his responsibility. Bob Ingersoll is dead. The great agnostic, tho great atheist, the great scoffer at sacred things, the great enemy of the religion of Christ, has gone to that august tribunal whero there is a judgo who alone, without the agency of witnesses, counsel or juries, dispenses justice for the good and evil deeds of a lifetime. May his last dread moment have brought for him a repent ance that entitles him to the mersey of God. Ingersoll was magnificently gifted at his birth with the weapons of usefulness. Fer haps more so than any man of the century, a keen sense of ridicule that put into every word a deadly ttmg, a kind and benevolent nature, a char itable disposition that sym pathized with human suffering, domestic virtue, unselfishness," generosity, geniality, mirth moving wit that amused more than it wounded. Yet with all these gifts and with superadd ed attainments, he turned against his fellows and his God, and made more poor creatures miserable than any one who has lived in his time. He knocked the crutches from poor criDpled mortals who had no friend but God. He distilled deadly poison into sickly hearts and left no antidote. He left friendless souls who had no stay but heaven, help less, comfortless, 'tempest driven. A conf cience but a canker. Without a correspondence fixed en heaTen, That ture a noble anchor." Ho bado immortals "curse God and die" a3 the only com fort in human suffering. The question is often asked did Ingersoll believe what he taught? Sureljrnot. His mind was too acute and substile to havo belcived it. He was with out faith in his search after infinity, and was overwhelm ed by tho mysteries of life. He was an agnostic in the sense of not comprehmding tho in finite. He had faith in the greatness of his intellect and did not beleire in whalf it could not comprehend. His ambition was gratified by tho . triumphs of his genius, its recognized sup eriority in tho arena of life he worshipped at that shrine and was utterly practical of all that it could not unravel.

We hope we will be pardon ed for a few words of triendly counsel to to the negro race The negro problem is yet un solved and altho advice is abundant, the problem is no nearer solution now than when they were given the boon of independence more than thirty years ago, and their condition is worse now than when "old master" was here, and the young negro is lower in the scale of virtue and good con duct than tho old issue darkey, whuse type is nearly extinct. Tho negro per -se, is almost ut terly friendless. It is a piti able condition. They seem to be most like that "wear dove" that Noo sent out to spy land, and found it not. What shall they do! Bishop Turner of A. M. Z. says, go to Africa- Not so. It is imprac ticable and inexpedient. The North is not friendly and the fanatical fad of providing for tho '-wards" is played out. The old master is nearly gone and his children, who have been kind are disgusted with their gros3 ingratitude. But with him, badly as he has been treated by you, there is more sympathy for you than any where else on earth. Reform yoursetf as best you can. Make the most of your situation. Make amends for your past errors and ingratitude. Let it not be said that your race is withoattho instinct of grati tude for friends who have have borne your burdens at a great sacrifice to themselves. Eschew politics. Eschew Republican office fceekinc carpet baggers and scalawags. Look to old . f master's children, ana as iar as you can, make them your object lessons in conduct, and ultimately your condition will bo improved in education, in material prosperity and in hap piness, as we hepe and trust..

The question is settled and Secretary of War Alger, who has so badly conducted the war department has offered his resignation and McKinley now breaths freer. McKinley was loth to part with hisfriend but the pressure of the press was too heavy for his -weak nerves, and after squirming, pretending and acting, as,Gov. Pingree said, "unmanly and cowardly "toward Alger,he got friends to intimate to him that his room was more desirable than his company, upon which Alger left, with feelings some what roused to wrath, not on account of his invitation to re tire, because his chief had as sured him that his manage ment of tho" war department was entirely satisfactory to him. In fact Alger had tend ered his resignation to the President more than once and assured him that he was ready to resign whenever he was any embarrasment to the Pre sident. All tho while, he was an embarrasment and a burden, and the I-vsilent was too weak in tho in 1 column to meet the crisis. At last he was compe led to meet it by" dodg ing it, anjlllger who proposed to finish the Spauish war and its resultants, by sending rot ten beef rations to hungry soldiers. bar to walk with the slow, unmoving finger of scorn pointed at him. Now Alger passes into his tory, to the realms of tho past, and what alas! will bo the ver dict of history? A man who be trayed his trust, and in the management of a great inter national conflict starxed the gallant solditrs of his country upon rotten beef unfit for hum an creatures. He is gone requie-Scat. His successor in the man agement is one Root, a man but little known to fame or patrio tism, but we fear he may be another of McKinley's men.

This country of which such high hopes hare bean enter tained in tho earlier history of our country,has for some years been an unknown factor in our country's hopes and prospects. It has so completely passed from the world's eyes and thoughts that we had come to question whether tho coloniza tion Society had an an existen ce. But in these latter days it has bobbed up again with a visage of distress and disap pointment. Soon, after the War between the States, and after the free dom of the slaves had been proclaimed, tho thought was quite prominent in the public mind tnat the liberated slrves might find an asylum and a placo of development for the black raccfrom the Southern States, in Liberia and many of the race in the Southern States looked favorably upon the scheme of colonization to this of their ancestral h ome, and some of toe liberated slaves did em igrate to Liberia to make it their permanent home. Quite a number, a colony of them, went from Bertie county, sought hornet in Liberia and remained there several years. Tho exodus was conducted with a great deal of delibera tion. The exodusters adopted modes of communication with their friends at home by keeping up an exchange of strips of calico, with an agreed inter pretation of their meaning. Each color of calico conveyed a certain idea. If a certain color came back homo when sent it should express pleasure, satisfaction, happiness, and the reverse color was to bo taken as evidence of the rever se condition. All that came back conveyed the idea of a gloomy experience. After some time they all returned and their statements in reference to Liberia, were amusing, with a thread of deep sadness. Dis appointment was given by all. Ono old fellow, more garrulous than tho rest, gave a dreadful account of their bill of fare. Vegetables of tho wild kind were abundant, but non3 were cultivated. Meat was very rare. It was monkey meat, and sometimes they had monkey for Sunday dinner. The old fellow said he did'nt like it, and he hated most of all to kill the monkey for din ner, "because they looked and cried so much like little babies, when he knocked them in the head." Their experience put an end to the negro emigration fro n Bertie county to Liberia. HI nLOOD-CCKED FKEU.
