Depew on the Negro. ‘The north hears the negro side of the sub- ject. The negro is not physically ill-treated at the south, If they would let politics alone they would be better off than they are here. I have had sad experiences with educated negroes who come to my office every day. They are debarred from going into pursuits they would naturally choose, and are confined to & narrow line, as you well know. They can be waiters at hotels and private houses, cnachmen and port- ers in sleeping cars, but not merchants, not clerks, and not skilled machinists. I havea colored stenographer at my office who does as good work as my white one. In the south the negro can be almost anything he wishes. If there were no negro machinists in the south, no skilled negro mechanics, there would be none of that kind of workdone. Every pursuit is open to him, He can have his labor zations and fix his rate of pay. and do every- thing that labor unions usually do. Ifa negro has $5,000 in the south aod intelligence he can go into the common council or the legislature and make the laws which govern the land of which he is one of the land owners. This solves 8 grest part of the question. The negro land owners, and there are of them, have enough in common with the white citizen te make thoir interests identical, ——se0——____ Cloud-Burst in Texas.
