Northern indication of the South. Cliarloii, trvrr. Klsewhere in this piiier is print ed a strong defence of the .South' policy regarding the negro from the time of reconstruct ion to the present. It is from the editorial columns of the New York Sun, and is a reply to the tjiicstiou of a lirooklyn ucgni. It is a virtual udmissiou of the justice unit neces sity of every position the South has assumed in dealing with the race l nest ion since the slaves were freed. It is a powerful vindication of her handling of the mast import ant problem she has had to deal with since Ive's surrender. It admits that the enfranchisement of the newly freed slaves was a grave mis take,' acknowledges the inexcusa ble horrors of the reconstruction era, justilies the "inevitable elforU of the miperior race to protect it self against ucgro domination at any hazard," frankly confess) "the North's misunderstanding of the necessity of the South' struggle for self-defence," mid iufc rentially, lit least, intimates its conviction of the necessity of the eventual reeal of the fifteenth amendment. Against overwhelming odds the South has during the long year since the civil war borne the white man's burden, and at the same time the suspicion, opposition and interfer ence of the North. Hut she was never daunted, uud conscious of the rectitude of her course she lias pursued the eveu tenor of her w ay, until time has wrought her vindi cation, us it will do for all who learn to wait as well as to lalsir; for the position now assumed by The Hun is increasingly that of the Northern mind. The incident of the banishment of "t'ncle Tom's Cabin" frotu4i public school li brariers of New York city is still ' esh in mind. The North has all .long been the prompter behind .he scenes, whispering to the negro race to insist upon its "constitu tional" rights to suffrage. Now it is beginning to see that it was wrong iu this course. It is to lie hoped that the negro will see that he was wrong in thus listening to the voice of an alien, and that in the future he will turu au intent ear to the admonitions of Hooker T. Wash ington, who is teaching him that Industrial education is the key to unlock the door that henceforth opens for his race iuto the temple of success. SERVICE 13 UI E'S AMBITION.

Fry of t 'oucord delivered the tin mini address. We give his discourse in part: "I was just looking around uud thinking of the changes that have come around since brother iH'twil iter and I were boys. We went to the old field school. It is with pleasure that I recall those old days iu the old held school uud some of the fun. It was our delight to light wasp nests and hunt for the yellow- jacket. We now have line school buildings and academic j and arc able to employ professors who wear white vests. How much letter it is than the old field school. I hope that I may this morning present some practical thoughts for the consideration of these students on the proper ideal in life. This, I think, is service,. The modern doet line places great emphasis on the individual. It is preparation for the work that enables us to suc ceed in life. A man who depends on the works of another never nmouiits to anything. Au idler need never expect to rise above Ins nmhiliou, he cannot come into line with the ambitious and determined student. A young imiu who lies around and spends his father's money is a spend! brill, and asjs nd thrill is worst than an idler. Seek to lie of service in life and lie of value to those who are ulsuit you. Now then to lie of service you must have n character. No until can be of service to liny nation who does not possess a good personal char acter, for no man cau rise niiovc the measure of his character. Many a tramp has the stamp of the school upon him. Many a rascal lias the impress of the university upon him. Character is a question of our own relationship to God. No man cau be of permanent value that has not a good personal character. I wind to say to these young people who listeu to me that there is uoth ing to be compared to character. So character should be the first consideration that men take into their thoughts in the preparation of themselves for life's work, (iod really redeemed character to man, but man must develop it. God can no more use an unlit man than you can use a dull axe in hewing tim ber. Then equip yourscll lor serv ice. An cd ileal cd man is always of some service. St. Paul was a mail eminently equipped in the schools of time, in the school of ex perience. So my young menus, it is ueccssiiry for you to equip your selves for life's work and this is a duty that i annul be left iinronsid ered. That mau to whom God has given a talent that docs not equip himself is guilty 1n the sight of God. Yon say thut a spendtrift is a sinner. How alwut the smmhI thrift of taleulsi How about the man that God lias given a talent that docs not equip himself for service iu this world! "Now, my young friend., it cos's something to equip yourselves for service. It costs something to make a soul, a character, a mind; it costs toil. Some people think that school is easy. It costs something to study and the mau that is willing to pay the price can become a scholar. That man that is not willing to prepare himself for anything iu life is not bright mentally. All over this country are young men and young women who live iu idleuess and dissipation and lo doing nolh ing and are anxious to get off and travel and would do uothiug al ways.
