ANOTHER VIEW OF THE RACE PROBLEM | Intor-Marriage of Whites Common than Formerly -The Plan of Despotism a Fallure - Progress of the Colored Race. Negroes Less (Copyrighted 1504,) ‘There Is a negro question and not simply a matter of adjustment of relations between two classes of the same race, as of landlords and tenants, employers and employes—all be ing white or black, but of men and women of two very different races holding business and other relations to each other and lving to- gether In the same communities. Whether the race element makes difficulty between white and black in other countries does not count, so far as facts go, here. In the United States it does make difficulty and In the south chiefly only because most of the negroes are in the southern states. A fow negroes have gone north as a few northern people have come south. How do these get on together? It is a question of facts only. Northern people and negroes, when brought Into relations, get on together Just as southern people and their negro nelghbors do, with unguestionably this differ- ence, outhern white peopl are more patient with negroes they employ than northern peo- ple are and, in personal relations, are more kind to them. It 1s essentially, at bottom, a race question An all parts of the United States—of which I have had personal observation from Ohio to Texas and from Massachusetts to Californla. 1t was a question bofore and Since the war; a question whenever and wherever these two peoples have been thrown together. It is a Tace question now and will be so long as the two races live together in this country. Doctrinarles of many schools—striving strenuously to force facts into conformity with their theories—have told us how to golve the race question that every day and hour demands our consideration. And a very emergent and important question it fs. There have not been lacking theorize have trusted fn what they first called * gamation,” afterwards ‘“‘miscegenation. fow have seemed to gain a sort of pleasure in contemplating such a solution. It Is a very monstrous and brutal way of looking at it. But it Is as silly as it Is revolting. One, a bishop, spoke of it as a “bleaching” pro- | cess! THE TENDENCY TO MISCEGENATION GROWING LI Every Informed person in the south knows that the tendency to miscegenation Emanci- grows less and less every year. pation strengthened In both races revolt at Dblogd-mingling by these dissimilar people. The negro question will never be solved by any process of race effacement—though we walt a thousand years. The mulatto will gradually disappear. This negro question, inberited from our fathers, we will hand down to our children. In seeking the best solution to any dif--| fecult question it is often very helpful to find out what cannot be done. Let us eliminate from our thinking the element of miscegenation. THE NEGRO HERE TO STAY. We may as well eliminate solution by deportation. In what follows on this point I must run the risk of being charged with dogmatism. One who has received impres- sicns concerning any matter from his in- fancy may well enough have controlling rea- sons for conclusions he cannot give to an- other lacking similar knowledge. One of my conclusions is: The negro is here to stay—concerning which opinion one might write a book, without getting to the end. Bisliop Henry M. Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal church I have known since he first appeared in reconstruction politics—the like of which the sun never saw before and never can see again—in Georgia a_generation ago. He is a man of great ability and of intense convictions. Tlis whole soul is set on emigration to Africa as the one possible solution of the negro question. If he had a thousand years to live he would give nine centurics of his “expectation of life” to see his hope a reality. No man knows better than Bishop Turner that the negro question in the United States is a race question. I believe he thinks It a permanent question; I do most certainly. Ho has made many most elo- quent speeches, seeking to fire the hearts of his people with an invincible desire to find homes, opportunity, freedom and en- largement of life in Africa. He has de- spaired of their finding these great boons here. If he could found, or see founded, a great christian negro republic in Africa Te would be the happiest man in the world. He 18, I am sure, most conscientious in all he thinks and says on the subject. ~ But he awakens among his own people more antagonism than favor when he urges them to colonize the dark continent. EMIGRATION TO AFRICA. The newspapers gave much prominence to such movements as Garton’s; a ship load of southern negroes going to Siberia from this country some months since. As if twice £0 many negroes were not born the day they sailed! As affecting the negro question such ill- managed enthusiastic escapades amount to nothing. The few who go are, in the opinion of the multitudes who stay, only freaks. Whether colonization be advocated by white or black men, doctrinaries or philanthropists, 4t is the same thing; the sum of the result 4s anger and distrust. The fundamental reason for rejecting colo- nization In Africa as a solution of our prob- Jem Is a very simple and conclusive one; the negroes do not wish to go and they do not intend to go. Moreover, the great body ©of the white people do not wish them to go away. History shows that great epoch- making migrations result from some deep dmpulse urging the race that moves and not the desire of some other race that does not move. A people, dominated by another race, might be so oppressed as to create this race-moving impulse. How little south- ern negroes are so affected we see in the nory small number that have moved out of the old slave states into northern and west- ern portions of the union. It may be an- swered—they find that their condition is not helped by such movings in the United States. Let another make the retort; I will not an- ticipate it by so much as offering an opinion about it. NO MOVEMENT BY FORCE. As to moving the negroes to Africa by force, 1 never heard of a southern man who entertained such a thought for a moment. Were it attempted from without and the negroes were passive (and they would not De passive) southern men would make trouble of an extraordinary sort. If there were a fit country in which to settle them; if there were means for moving them, no right- thinking man would consent to send these people away against thelr will. Violent de- rtation would surpass the wrong that rought them here. The exceptions to these statements are #0 few that they do not count in any view of the whole subject under consideration. =~ The southern white people who want them out of this country are as few as the negroes who have gone to Africa or wish to go. MHE NEGROES WILL BE PROTECTED. A few weeks since the newspapers told us of some “striking brotherhood” that ssed resolutions that *‘the negro must go." ey were not men of the south, the men of the south will protect the negro against guen like these if they go beyond resolutions »—to deeds. ‘What God's providence may bring about the relation of these truly wonderful o to Africa, men will know what time ses God to show his designs to men. l'npt the negro race In America has im- tant and vital relations to the future of Africa is plain to me as that they came from Africa. But this is equally clear, if i A ol | all the negroes wished to go, if all the white eople wished them to go, if the United tates government owned vast territories In Africa, if the people of the Unitod States ‘Were ready to “foot the bill" for moving and settliog and protecting them, the negroes Bere are now no more ready for so stu- pondous & change than Africa s ready for Great changes are golng on in Greater by education and Christian- ization among the negroes here. BUSIN INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO Before closing this article another view of the case should be presented. The souther #ro has business and other intercsts In this suntry which he begins to appreciate very highly. He is getting land of his own; he I8 accumulating property; he s educating his childre He Is getting to be a business man. At this point I quote a paragraph from a speech delivered in the United States senate May 28, by the junior senator from Georgla, the Hon. Patrick Walsh—an Irishman profoundly patriotic to America; a Catholic 86 broad minded and liberal that he Is an example of tolerance and charity to many Protestants—than whom an honester, truer man is not in the United States senate, I have many times gone over the ground and the senator's statements are from first sour e books of the comptroller general of Georgia. G has separate lists for the return of taxable property by whites and blacks, It Is important that we study the business facts that enter into the general question. It Is to be wished that other southern states would adopt the same method. THE VIEW OF SENATOR WALSH. Senator Walsh, a better authority than Miss 1da Wells, says: “A fact worthy of note Is that the ne. groes returned for taxation in _ Georgia, property aggrogating in value in 1879, 398; in 1889, $10,415,380; in 1893, $14,960, (He might have added that the Imitative negro never “gives in” his property at any fancy valuation; $15,000,000 in 1893 means t $40,000,000.) his fs an indisputable evidence that the negro is given a fair showing, and that in Georgla the industrious and eco. nomical citizen can make a living and ac- cumulate property, whether he be white o1 black. The negro is treated fairly, and, besides being able to acquire property, his children are given educational advantages which they eagerly improve. Georgia appropri- ates in round numbers eleven hundred thous sand dollars for public schools, and this goes equally to the education of both races. The tentedly together and the negroes recognize that their best friends are the whites amons whom they live, who know their habits and customs, and have a more genuine interest in them than those who profess a great deal more."”" This witness is true. I spell “Negro* with a “big N.” In this question Negro means a race and not a color. ATTICUS G. Oxford, Ga. THAT TIRED FEEL HAYGOOD. New Orleans Pleayune. I'm tired of infant prodigles, Now tell me, are not you? I'm tired of weather prophecles That always miss their cue.

I'm tired of ladies who remain Unmated from sheer choice; Of maids who sing, yet plead and felgn To have Indeed no volce; Of girls who never novels buy, So classical are they; Of youth just home from college high, Who knows it all—his way.

It costs about $4,750 per shot to fire one of Krupp's 130-ton steel guns. The gun costs §195,000, and it can only be fired at the most sixty times. The gun has a range of fifteen miles, and the projectile weighs 2,600 pounds. Russia is the largest empire, China the most populous, and Great Britain the largest exporting country, and the United States the greatest producer of gold. Italy holds the record for crime, as 27,000 murders are an- nually committed there.

In Berlin every cab has a registering ma- chine that tells the passenger exactly what he has to pay, and tells the owner of the cab what has been earned by the driver. The machine thus prevents disputes between pas- sengers and drivers and between the latter and thelr employers, Though orchids frequently bring prices that make the poor man stagger, the highest recorded price for a single flower was given for a tulip in Amsterdam by an enthusiast, who pald $250,000 for it. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain always wears a rare orchid In his buttonhole, sometimes to the value of $1,000. A rainmaker in India has an apparatus consisting of a rocket capable of rising to the height of a mile, containing a reservoir of ether. In its descent it opens a para- chute, which causes It to come down slowly, The ether Is thrown out in fine spray, and its_absorption of heat is said to lower the temperature about it sufficiently to condense the vapor and produce a limited shower.

Heo is a member of the union now ana they can afford to laugh about it, but the walking delegate will always be somewhat afraid of him, He landed in Chicago from the far west, says the Record, and, being reduced in finances, returned to his ola trade of painting. Ho put on a white jacket, but underneath it he continued to wear his belt and a brace of cannon. In taking the job he had made no inquiries, and he did not know that a strike was on and that he was against the strikers. So he daubed merrily away from his low scat- fold until he heard a gruff voice say: sot down from there!" ‘Because why ? over mind; 2 you stop work on that ol “Not by no manner of means, and don't trifle ay, will you come down?" 08, and throwing back his jacket he whipped out the two glgantle instruments of death. The delegate ran four blocks. ~For three days the scaffold was watched from afar, but no one bothered him. Finally he jolned the union of his own free will, and when he rises to a point of order every one lis- tens to him, ECHOES FROMTHE, ANTE ROOM | Annual Picnies of the Royal Arcanum and the United Workmen.

The third annual picnic of Union Pacifio lodge No. 17, Ancient Order of United Work- men, was held at Sarpy Mills, Saturday, June Three hundred people were in attena- ice. A dozen carryalls carrled the greater rt of the picnickers to the grounds and three or four more brought the rest in the after noon. The party reached the city between 8 and 9 o'clock on their return and wers caught in the drenching rain storm. This did not in the least dampen the good spirits of the party, although several sults ana dresses will have to be relegated to obscurity as a result, In addition to a good program of sports dancing, bowling and sailing were enjoyed. As usual, however, the baskets were the chief attraction and were despoiled without difficulty. The program of sports and follow: Pofato gathering race for boys of 17 years and under—Prize, 3-pound box of candy; won by Swan. Fifty-yard dash—Prize, a scarfpin; Buchanan.

A tug of war was pulled by two picked sides of girls and the stronger side obtained a 2-pound box of candy as a reward. Another tug of war came off between a team from the lodge and another pickea from all comers. This resulted in favor ot the former. The lodge members were par. ticularly jubilant over this result, as the other team was composed of a husky lot of teamsters, the anchor alone welghing about 250 pounds. The cigars, a box of which was the prize, were smoked with great satis. faction. The base ball game between a nine o a silk um. lodge members and a picked nine did not result so satisfactorily. The former were unmercifully walloped and the winners smoked their box of cigars with flendish lee. e judges were Turner, Wolff and Hoch- man and the starter was McCoy. Masonic Installation.

The Council Blufts traveling men on more than one occasion have turned out and assisted thelr Omaha assoclates in making a success of demonstrations, and it has been sug- gested by traveling men, to whom Omaha in a great measure owes her thrift and prominence, that it is but fitting on this occasion that all traveling men with their friends turn out nad meet thelr nelghbors in the spirit of fraternity which charac- terizes the professio Foresters' OMeers.

The annual convention of this large and influential organization is to be held this year in Cleveland, 0., July 11 to 15. It promises to outrank in many ways the truly wonderful meetings of recent years. Larger and more thorough preparations are being made than have ever been made be- fore. The “committee of '94,” composed of ten of Cleveland’s young people, besides the chairman, Rev. J. Z. Tyler, D.D., has taken advantage of the experience of former com- mittees of arrangement and is wisely plan- ning to overcome many of the obstacles that are met In arranging for such immense gatherings. It is expected the will be 30,000, When the delegates assemble in the “Forest City” on tho 11th of next month they will find about the most complete ar- rangements for their comfort that could be made. The hall, entertainment and recep- tion committees have been laying plans for a year in anticipation of cclipsing every- thing that has preceded their work. The two principal places of meeting are on Willson avenue, a broad and beautiful thoroughfare running south from Lake Erie. Saengerfest hall stands on the corner of Scovill and Willson avenues, and a mammoth tent will be pitched on the corner of Cedar and Willson avenues. Each place will easily accommodate 10,000 persons. Two laige churches near by have been secured for overflow meetings. Music hall, with a seating capacity of 5,000, has been secured in case a meeting is needed in the business part of the city. Fifteen of the largest churches and the Young Men's Christian as- soclation hall have been secured for opening meetings on Wednesday evening. The motto of the hall committee is, “‘Seeing, ye attendance shall hear, and be comfortable.” Entertainment will be In hotels and private residences. Hotel rates will vary from $1.50 to $4.00 a day, according to the hotel and to the number of delegates nc- cupying the same room. In private resi- dences three classes of entertainment have been provided—room only, room with break- fast and room with three meals. ~The aver- age rate for lodging and board in private families will not exceed $1.50 a day, and many can be accommodated at lower rates The plan of entertainment is unique and thoroughly systematic. Each state has one person, who acts as transportation manager for that state. Instead of securing enter- talrment from the Cleveland committee delegates writo to thelr manager, saying what they want and at what price. He alone deals with the entertalnment com- mittee, thus avoiding much annoying detail work. Bach state will have headquarters in a church and its delegates will be placed in the homes of that neighborhood. ~As the difterent delegations arrive they will be taken at once to their state headquarters, where they will reglstor and receive the convention badge, without which entrance cannot be gained to the meetings. As each delegate registers he will receive a billet, stating where and what his accom- modations are, and what they cost. Guides will at once escort delegates to their homes. The committee {8 planning for large restaurants near the conver buildings, to accommodate those who are assigned to distant parts of the city.

Preliminary work incident to taking down the Ferris wheel on the Midway plaisance was begun yesterday, says the Chlcago Tribune. This consists of placing false work, engines and hoisting apparatus. Some day next week the big wheel will turn for the last time in Chicago. At that time several Ferris Wheel company officials will ride around on the struts that are still in place. Some will simply hold to the ten-inch iron beams, while others, more timid, will be tied on, It will take ton weeks to take the wheel to pleces. The car that was used for car- rying the Krupp gun will be used for carr ing the seventy-ton axle. The material will be taken in five trains of thirty cars each to New York City. Theve aro 3,000 tons of metal fn the wheel and 500,000 feet of timber needed for the false work. Taking the wheel down will be more dangerous than putting it up. Only one life was lost in erecting the big attrac- tion, The expense of taking down, moving and rebuilding the wheel will be $150,000. In New York It is to be placed at Thirty-seventh street and Broadway. Old Vienna will be reproduced around it. Here the wheel had 8,000 electric lights; in New York the num- ber will be doubled. The old Ferris Wheel company goes out of existence and a new company, composed of New York men, has been formed. Superintendent L. V. Rico has charge of the removal. During the fair’the wheel went around 10,000 times and carried 2,000,000 passengers, The largest single load was carried October 19, when at 12:30 o'clock 1,768 people were in’ the cars. The largest day's business was October 10, when 38,000 people were carried, October 9, 10 and 11 there were 114,000 passengers, the largest average for any three days.

Allen, jr.,, and Willlam L. Sachtleben, the young American students Who made a bicycle tour around the world, describe their experiences in Persia in the July number of the Century. The following peculiar international complication came to their knowledge at Tabreez: The English government, it seemed, had become embroiled in a local love affair just at a time when Colonel Stewart was off on “diplomatic duty” on the Russlan Trans caspian border. “An exceptionally bright Ar- menian beauty, a graduate of the American migsionary schools at that place, had been abducted, It was claimed, by a young Kur- dish cavalier, and carried away to his moun- tain home. Her father, who happened to be a naturalized English subject, had applied for the assistance of his adopted country in obtaining her release. Negotlations were at once set on foot between London and Tohe- ran, which finally led to a formal demand upon the Kurds by the Shah himself. Upon their repeated refusal, 7,000 Persian troops it was said, were ordered to Soak Boulalk, under the command of the vice consul, Mr. Patton, B The matter at length assumed such an importance as to give rise, in the Houso of Commons, to the question, “Who Is Katty Greenfleld?” This, in time, was answered by that lady bherself, who declared under oath that she had become a Mohammedan, and was in love with the man with whom she had ecloped. More than this, it was learned that she had not a drop of English blood in her veins, her father being an Austrian, and her mother a native Ar- menian. Whereupon the Persian troopers, with their much disgusted leader, beat an inglorious retreat, leaving “Katty Greenfield” mistress of the situation, and of a Kurdish heart. T Insurance In Germany. In Germany all employers are obliged to insure thelr employes, even when the employ- ment is temporary and unpaid. There are special assoclations for different industries. Injuries Include those which are internal as well as external, loss of intellect, memory, or nerve. When compensation is claimed it 15 necessary to trace the injury to some specific cause. Generally, the person who is to gain or lose most by the undertaking is held to be the employer. Employers’ contri- butions to the assoclations are proportionate to their annual expenditure in wages., The amount of compensation s based on the wages received by the workman during a year. So long as ‘he Is completely incapacis tated he is to be allowed two-thirds of his wages. For partial disablement he obtains a fraction of that maximum proportionate to the oxtent of the injury. In case of death, twenty days' payment (in no case a sum less than 20 marks) is granted toward funeral ex- penses. The widow, until remarriage, is al- lowed 20 per cent of her husband’s wages, while 15 per cent is allowed for every child under 15 who has lost one parent, and 20 per cent if it has lost both, The total com- pensation to widow and children must not exceed 60 per cent. e Ride the switchback at Courtland Beach, —— Keason Enough.
