How a Colored Democrat Thinks the Race Problem May Be Solved. Dr. Jerome R. Riley, who has been elected president of the John M. Palmer Club of this city, a club of colored democrats, in his inau- sural address to the club urged a division of the colored votes if negro suffrage was to be- come, not to say popular, but even tolerable. ‘The worst feature of the negro’s trouble has been, he said, “from a false rating which has been given us by our would-be friends, valuing us by our future possibility, or judging the whole by a ‘few Jumps of leaven’ within our fold who have made most remarkable progress in learning, literature and even stateemenship. Thus they were placed ina position where more was demanded of them than should be expected of them. In their unity, he said, lay their weakness. The leadership of the men who have been promment among the colore¢ —— he claimed, has been mischievous, misleading strous. These men had read history to Very little purpose not to know that intelli- gence end wealth dominated legislation and commerce the world over. “Our friends tell us,” he remarked, “that all white legislators are not statesmen.

Theirs civilization of the realm; our traditional nd universal record was that we were ignor- nt, indolent and would steal, and therefore were incapable of self-government. The con- trary is what we bad to prove and retute this acctisution, a fact not yct learned, or if learned, not acted upon. ‘The solution of the great race problem was wholiy m our own bands. In the south it had to be solved, the essential condi- tions being more favorable there than any. where else. The first prerequisite was peace and mutual confidence, there being « com- mingling of interests between races. ‘The whites were ready to receive fair proposals Tather thay dictate terms at that time. In our 0 and ignorance we were not prepared for not even friction with our white neighbors, although we were often hoodwinded to believe to the contrary. We cannot deny the fact that the generul government itself was not more than preparcd for war with the south. These suggertions apply with equal force today. A peace basis was our only hope to secure tous apublic sentiment which would insure a minority representation of value that would be lasting and permanent. It waa our misfortune aud not our fault that we were ignorant and poor, yet nevertheless true, and this should bave n taken into account dur- ing that period. Even now this matter wiil bear the close attention of our race. In a meusure we were unable to appreciate the dig- nity und sovereignty of citizenship and that the safety of «state depended upan its sovereign use. “We were swayed by passion and senti- ment rather than reason. To us party was sovereign rather than the citizen. We emerged from bodily to mtellectual slavery. Our actions, the policies of our leaders, often en- tangled us in the meshes of trouble from which there was no escape. The white people of the south have their shortcomings, as you and I andall have: but the same sentiment of hu- manity actuates them as other people the world over.

In the next case called there were five de- fendants and the charge against them was the same as in the other case, only they were found under different circumstances. ‘They guve their names as Robert McDonald, John Gilmore, James Maley, James McManus and Jobn Kavanaugh. “We are all bricklayers,” said Kavanaugh. “T live at Waterloo across the river and I came over Saturday to get a pair of shoes and met these other men.” Kavanaugh and MoDonald gave evidence of their occupation, but the others could not. One stated that he was going to Alexundria where there was plenty of work. Another was going to Roanoke and the others were going to other places.

Services were held at St. Mary's Cath- | olic Church by Rev. Geo. Glaab, assisted by Rev.C.

The heavy rains Saturday night and early Sunday morning did not interfere with the plans of the visiting bicyclists, and none of the runs had to be omitted. The trip to Marshall Hall on the Macalester Saturday night wasa delightful one. There were sixty in the parts and the trip to the wharf was made on wheels. Through the kindness of Harbormaster Sutton the wheels were cared for at the wharf until the return of the “Pensye” and Nomads, when sixty brilliantly lighted lamps made a good ap- pearance going from the wharf to the Strath- more Arms. The Nomads were on band early yesterday morning to escort the visitors to the Great Falls, and the start was made about 8 o'clock. The road was in perfect condition and the weather was excellent for wheeling. With tho exception of one stop for water at Uncle Tom's log cabin Glen Echo was the fitst place visited, and there the party was given the freedom of the pines. ‘The chimes ‘were played in honor of the guests, and Mra. Hyde, who resides there, sent severel baskets of frait to the wheelmen. ‘After spending an hour about the grounds and buildings the journey to the falls was resumed witha stop at the club house. Owing to a break in the canal there was no boat to take the party through wide water, and they continued over the hills and through the hollows on their wheels to the lock house. A short walk through the woods and the river was reached. There beats were provided and the river was crossed. It was about noon when Dickey's was reached and the party was di- vided: One-half sat down to dinner, while the others strolled thvough the orchard and along the beantiful path leading to the ruins of the old mill on the hill right near the fall. The party remained at Dickey'’s until about 5 o'clock, and when they left the crowing of the rooster and the cackling of the hen were no longer to be heard on Dickey’s farm. On the return trip the ouly stop made was at Cabin John bridge, whore an honr was epent in sight- aecing. ‘The city was reached shortly after 8 o'clock and at 10 o'clock an oyster supper Was enjoyed.

LORIMEK ON SUNDAY. A Day to Be Set Apart for Kest and Recrea- tion. The recently completed Fourth Baptist Church of Chicago was dedicated yesterday morning. Dr. George C. Lorimer, formerly of Chicago, but now in charge of Tremont Tem- ple, Boston, delivered the dedicatory sermon, taking his text from the meeting of Christ with the woman of Samaria, who was drawing water at the well—“The hour comethand now is when true worshipers shall worship Him in spirit and in truth.” In the course of his address Dr. Lorimer advanced some theories, which, had they been uttered in the days of the Puritans, would have caused their author to be branded asa rank herotic. He asserted that Sunday being the first day of the week called to remembrance the day of resurrection, but that while man should cease from manual labor on that day he should not consider it a sacred day, but should amuse and rest himself as he saw fit, not for- Getting the significance of the day. Emotional worship was deprecated, as was the theory that all worship should be egnducted in places set apart for urpose. No place was considered as especialy cored wheatmen desired to woi it could be done in ‘one place as w another. Dr. Lorimer also asserted that the sacraments were not a means of graco or remission, but instruction, which those desiring to learn of the grace and goodness of God should attend. An immense congregation attended the dedicatory services. New York's Political Conventions.
