The Northern | writer is the editor of the magazine, Mr. | Thorne, who indorses some of his con- | tributor’s opinions and adds, as a state- | ment of his own conviction, that the! South must either re-enslave the negro | or export him. Mr. Didier, after some | severe criticism of the “‘blunders”’ and | *“‘crimes”’ of the statesmen who brought | about emancipation and enfranchise- | ment of the s s, characterizes the “The negro in natural-born and habitual liar ; he lies without cause; | ~ he lies without reason; he lies directly he lies indirectly ; he lies unceasing] he li rily; he lies alway he li , and under all cir- cumstances; he lies when he knows he will be found out the next minute. Ly- ing is as natural to the negro as steal- ing, and in both he is an accomplished adept. “The negro, in fe shameless, brutal, deceitful, dishonest, untruthful, revengeful, ungrateful, im- moral. The negro in fiction is a sim- ple, good-natured, docile, affectionate, honest, almost angelic creature. The former is a hideous reality; the latter xists only in the imagination of a cer- tain class of Southern novelists, who ought to be ashamed to draw so attrac- tive a picture of a degraded and danger- ous race, whose existence is a menace to the civilization of the South.” Suffrage, Mr. Didier continues, has done nothing for the negro, because he lacks the mental and moral traits which citizenship requires. The negro, he , is an alien and will remain one to the end, because he can never assimi- late with the white race. We quote again: ‘The right of suffrage has been de- nied to the Chinese, whose civilization is three thousand years older than ours. It has been denied to the Indian, who was the master of this continent a thou- sand years before the white man set foot on American soil. Yet this great privilege has been indiscriminately giv- en to the negro, who can never form a part of our civilization; who can never enter into social relations with us; who can never be better than he has been and is—the most ignorant, the most de- human being that the world has ever seen.

The loss is} estimated at $150,000, pantly insured. The flames were discovered on the end of the Boston and Albany Railroad pier | in freight shed No. 1, known as Old) Round Top, about five o'clock, but an alarm was not given until 5:30, and at| that hour the structure, which was a| one-story building, several hundred feat) in length, wes a mass of flames. A steamer was discharging a cargo of hemp and flour and other freight in this shed was destroyed. A large amount | of freight was also thrown into the water from the docks. At 6:30 @ second alarm was given summoning almost the entire ec fire department, the department from} Winthrop and the fire boats. By this! time the fire had spread to the adjoining | docks, at one of which the Cunard steamer Cephalonia was moored. Be-| fore the steamship cou be towed out of danger, her sides were ablaze, one of her life boats was partly destroyed and her rigging was on fire. The flames | were extircul-hed, however, as soon as) she was anchored, and she was not) badly damaged. | But little of the freight in the big | three-story warehouses, Nos. 4 and 5, | owned by the Boston and Albany rail- | toad, could be removed before the fire | fastened on the buildings, and in spite of the vigorous efforts of. the firemen | both structures were sooon almost en- | tirely destroyed. The loss on the freight | stored in them will be very heavy, but | no accurrate estimate of the damage | on this freight can be estimated now. It was impossible to remove the cars be- | fore they caught fire, and are almost a/ total loss. A light wind carried the blazing em- bers from the conflagration into the tenement district near by, and three houses were nearly destroyed. Three smaller dwellings were slightly dam- aged. Shortly after 9 o’clock the big storehouse, No. 8, was in flames, and the fight of the flremen were directed to this point. The main part of the building was saved, the flames being confined to the south end, which was gutted. At 10.30 the fire was under control, but still smouldering. It cannot be entirely ex- tinguished for some hours. The smoke was dense and suffocating and many | of the firemen were overcome, but not seriously injured.
