Show THE NEGRO PROBLEM. What Dookec T. Washington Is Doing to Solve It, In Boston, on July 30, an attempt was made by- a number of negroes to break up a meeting of colored citizens. Which Booker T. Washington had been invited to address. He himself protested on the following day that the colored citizens of Boston, considered as a hole, should not be held responsible for the unwise acts of a few rioters. Nine-tentof the colored people In that city, he said, stand by him and support him in hla work, and they wer never more hearty la their approve! than they are today. At Tuskegee, Alk,, - hs where the Normal and Industrial Institute, presided over by Washington, is situated, a resolution was adopted on July 31 by the Alabama Colored Baptist convention sevarely condemning the hostile demonstration made by the negroes la Boston on the preceding night, and Indorsing Principal Washington as a worthy, conuerva- tlve and safe leader, deserving the confidence and respect of his raca. The question will naturally arise, What ass Booker T. Washington done that any men of his color should try to Interrupt meetings at which ha Is expected to appear? The answer Is obvious enough. He has not advised his colored friends to fight for their On the contrary, he has counselled them to leave politics alone, and to cultivate the virtues of industry and pollt.l-rlght- a. thrift In other words he would have them prove themselves deserving of the franchise before they insist upon exercis-ea- l rights. On the contrary, he has coun-fenin the eyes of professional nesro agitators, who make a living by fomenting antagonism between the black and the white races. The negroes who seek t become delegates to republican se national conventions have heretofore posed as the official champions of their race, and have found it profitable to do bo.. Their occupation would be gone if Booker T. Washington could have his way. The negroes also .who manipulate the colored vote in those northea states, where It sometimes suffices to turn the scale, are disposed to repudiate the- teacher who tells young colored men. to- go to technical schools and learn how to earn a living instead of clamoring for the enforcement of the fifteenth From their amendment. view of Booker T. point Washington Is of cause. the black man's t betrayer That the free negro will never be until, In pursuance cf ftooket Washington's Idea, he has been trained la habits of industry and thrift. Is tolerably clear from the experience af a colony of colored people founded In Canada more than half a century ago. This colony was started In 1S4-- by the Her. William King, an English clcrgy-taaIn Buxton, Kent county, province of Ontario. Here a tract of some 9,(H)0 acres of fertile land wis set aside for the use of fugitive slaves who had been assisted to escape from the southern states by the 'underground railroad. The land was sold in farms of from iv to 100 acres at the price of 2.50 per ecre, and the colonists, who, at one Jat numbered 1.200. had unlimited time In which to pay for their holdings. As money could be made from the start by the fine timber that stood on the land, the colony began auspicious conditions. How has it prospered? Very few of the negro colonists or their descendants now remain n the farms, and, with one exception, those who are still there are renters. The rest mortgage! their lands and even their standing crips and squandered the proceeds of the transaction and in many cases abandoned their (arms rather than take trouble to till them. They proved Incapable of steady work and were destitute of foresight, their oower of provision being limited, apparently to a day or a week. When ell was discovered on the tract occupied by the colony the negroes sold their rights at once for trivial sums rather than malt for a development of the subterranean wealth. The one exception proves the rule. This man came to the colony from British Guiana in 1572. He Is a shool teacher, and during his vacations worked on his farm. He concurs with Booker Washington in thinking that the negroes In the southern states of the union should be trained In the kit its of Industry and economy, in or der to acquire the foundation on which lone citizenship may proprly be reared. One of the most Interesting contribu-tlen- s to a study of the negro question was made the other day by a southern white citizen In a letter to the New Tork Sun. Referring to the prediction tattered by Justice Brewer, In hla Mil waukee ad drew, that there would be a nojmUr t prising against 1 aching and - - self-supporti- J n. un-ti- er a remedy applied to them, the wrier payed heaven to speed the day when such a remedy might be found. He suggested, however, that Justice Brewer had missed the crux of the questlou, so far as the south wa3 concerned; for, however deplorable lynchings are, the conditions which cause them la the south are eo serious that punishment by lynching is insignificant in comparl- -' son. What are those conditions? They are these: No white woman In the negro gelt dare traverse the ublic highway alone; while, on the other hand, any negro woman can go from the Potomac to Texas alone, on foot, unmolested, in absolute safety. The white, farmer's wife sits at home In fear and. trembling, even though her husband may be working in the neighboring field. This insecurity has had a disastrous effect on agricultural properlty: because of it thousands and thousands of farmers have left the rural districts for the town and cities. The writer In Tbe Sun declares that if Justice Brewer and his "popular uprising" will find a remedy to stop the assaults upon white women, so they can have the freedom of the highway, or enjoy peace and. safety in their homes, thousands upon thousands of families will go back to the old farms, and the waste places of the black, belt will once more1 blossom as the ' rose. It la offering no if the to negro assailsay that remedy woman a is of white ant caught, he can be punished by law. As General Fitzhugh Lee pointed out the other day. It Is asking too much of the poor victim to require her to go to a court house and there before a curious crowd, go Into details of her sufferings and humiliations. To a modest woman suicide were preferable. In the Judgment of a white woman at the south, the vital question is not how shall lynching be stopped, but how shall white women be protected? It is a question, moreover, which the north is bound to help the south in solving. As the north took the negroes from their white owners arter the civil war, and organized them into so called "loyal leagues," and started ' them along lines adverse primarily to the southern whites, and Indirectly to the black3 themselves, destroying the influence of the former masters and teaching tbe negroes to look to the north for teaching and guidance, it now behooves the north to undo its work, if it can. and to make the negroes understand that white women shall not be assaulted, and that, if negro teachers, and preachers, and negro colleges fall to stop the atrocious crime the north will withdraw its countenace from them, or cooperate In a movement to coerce negroes Into a repression of their brutal Instincts.

The weather was bitterly cold, the snow deep, the roads practically unbroken. The stsyr? was nearly one hour late at the dinner station, everybody was more or les3 cross and In a hurry and the situation uncomfortable to the last degree. Senator Stuart sat down to his dinner with his usual deliberation, notwithstanding the word that was passed around: "Fifteen minutes for refreshments." When he had finlshd his first cup of coffee the passengers were leaving the table. By the time the second cup arrived the stage was at the door. "All aboard!" shouted the driver. The senator lingered and called for a third cup of coffee. The crowd laughed and flung back chaff at the deliberate man at the table. While the household, as was the custom, assembled at the door to see the Btage drive away the senator continued calmly drinking his coffee. Suddenly, Just as the stage started, there was a violent pounding on the dialng-roctable and the landlord hurried in to find that the senator wanted a dish of rice pudding.
