The Futuie of the Negro. In the Touini for July appeart an estimate of the future of the negro by a icpietentatlve of that race which will piovoke dis(Usslon The author of it. Picsldent W. II. Councill, ranks among the ablest educators of Ala bama and In his personal career as a public ofllcinl. editor, laver and flnal lj head of u large educational Institu tion, he lepiesents In an unusual de gn e the higher capabilities of his race. He wiites frankly and his conclusions are somewhat sensational. Tirst of all, he regards tho race prob lem as Inevitable and views It without pasMon 'Take one thousand white men and one thousand black men, rep resenting the highest Intellect, virtue and Industilal -klll, trained In all th" pilnclples of the Gospel of Jesus of Nazal eth. and place them, above want, remote ftom the contaminating Influ ence of lace-hatlng men, and befoio the end of tli3 third genet atlon," gavs he. "the tare question would bo raised and indal lines would bo diaun. It Is as difficult to equalize laces as It 1 to equalize wealth l'ii"-ldent Councill favors education in the negio, but not because it will s'he the lace problem lie favors tin if t among negiocs but not In any hope that It will make their lot In Ami'tlea tenable "Dolhus," h.ijs he, 'ncvoi 'i ilve ptoblems Problems are boin In the s-oitls of men and If fcolved at all, must be t-olved there" He fa vois religious institution nnd political modesty imong his fellow -blacks but thcEO, In his Judgment, while helpful, will not light eistlng Inequalities Tho nigio, he thinks, has alieady done well enough to wan.tnt sjmpathy and encouiageinPiit If his progicss nlone made any mateilal difference In the pioblem. "He Is" sivsotu author, "a fervent long. HUffei lug, forgiving Christian. He Is evvij man's friend. Tveiy man Is welcomu to his hum bio cabin and to the best he has In It Ho Is a non striker; a Jolly, docile Inborer, a loyal, fenber, Industiious citizen, and n brave soldlet. He has reduced his Illiteracy 43 per cent. In thirty-five vears If we turn on tho light of the eleventh cen sus we find: (1) Negroes are more eager for education that whites. The whites enrolled 14 per cent, of their population in 1ST0, und only 22 per cent. In 1890; the negroes, 3 per cent, in 1870, and 19 per cent In 1890. (2) The whites have 9 criminals to every 10,000 of their population; the negroes, 33 to every 10,000. Hut the whites have 100 to 1 In educational advantages, have tho entire machinery of the courts in their hands, and 100 chances to 1 to evade the law nnd to escape punish ment. (3) Whites and negroes each have 8 paupers to 1,000 population while the whites are 64 to 1 In wealth, and 100 to 1 In good paying1 positions. (4) The negroes die twice as fast as the whites; but tho whites have greater comforts, and many advantages as re gards skilled medical attention. (5) The whites have .61 of 1 per cent, divorces; negroes, .67 of 1 per cent. Tho whites have 2,000 years' advantage In civilization (6) In tho whole coun try thero are 25 negroes to 75 whites who own their homes; the proportion should be 1 negro to 6 whites. (7) Of the negro homes, 87 per cent, are free holds; of tho vvhlto homes, but 71 pei cent. (8) Of farmB owned by negroes' 80 per cent, are unencumbered; of those owned by whites, but 71 per cent. (9) Forty-one per cent, of negroes aro engaged In gainful pursuits; while only 30 per cent, of whites nro thus en gaged. (10) Government reports show that tho negro li the best soldier In tho regular army." Yet all these points, the writer con tends, offer no escape from the stern logic of human nature. The race prob lem remains; "whether North, South, East or West bo his ambition, the Amcilcan negro's ospltatlons are chained to a stake, nro circumscribed bv Anglo-Saxon prejudice and might. Theie Is no solution except In complete su.'ienflpr of racial pride and ambition; In absorption by tho very worst ele ment of whites; or In voluntary or In voluntary deportation " Dr. Councill favois deportation. Says he: "Anglo Saxon prejudice Is but the voice of God calling to tho negro to arise and go and make himself a people." From Afilca he came; to Africa he must eventually return. "His own pride, the desire to redeem Africa from Its dark ness, and, last, the allurements of a thousand superior advantages for men tal and material gain will be Irresisti ble" It l a bold piophecy and Its ful fillment would undoubtedly lift from off the minds of far-seeing Americans of both colors a load of apprehension. We call attention to the article else where leproducrd from tho Philadel phia Press explaining the difficulties encountered by the administration at Washington In securing an adequate army for the Philippines. It makes clear thit the comblno of senators which emasculated the army reorgan ization bill did so with the deliberate purpose of hindering the government and aiding the Filipino rebels. The leader In this treasonable combine was Arthur Pue Gorman, late Senator from jlaoland und now a candidate for the Domociatlc nomination for president of the United States. Wo hopo that Gor man will be nominated. Bounds of Justifiable Criticism. A libel case of some Interest has Just been tried In Michigan. A member of the state legislature sued to recover damages from tho directors of the GooJ Government league because they had opposed his le-electlon by circulating literature charging him with having promoted legislation of nn "Immoral nature." Tho ground for this chaige was that he had Introduced a bill to legalize tho sale of liquor on holidavs. He claimed this was not immoral legis lation and that the printed assertion to the contrary did him grievous in justice. When tho case went to the Jury the trial Judge directed it what verdict to ictiiin. He ordered a finding for the defendants on the ground that tho al leged libel was a privileged communi cation and that the right of the defen dants to criticize honestly and in good faith the plaintiff's record as a legis lator and candidate for public office was not exceeded In the publication complained of. As to the use of the word "immornl" In the campaign cir cular, the court held It to be purely a matter of opinion. It was a question upon w hlch menmigiitdiffei a question of Judgment. Thousands of ppople might think that tho plaintiff did champion lmmoial measuies when he sought to have the saloons thrown open on legal holidays; and thousands of people might think just tho opposite. While this decision involves no new principle it offers a timely definition of the proper limits of public criticism This particular plaintiff was criticized honestly and In good faith for acts in volving a marked difference of opinion. Had the ciltlclsm been manifestly ma licious and Insincere the Inference Is that the court would have left the Juty free to make an estimate of damages There are extremes of leniency nnd of virulence in criticism and both should bo avoided. Dr. Mackey's testimony on the sub ject of political Judas Iscarlots ought to be expel t. Advance Couriers of Civilization. It Is related by those who aie ac quainted with Cuba that prior to Amer ican intei vention In its affairs, the spectacle of an Intoxicated man In any public place was exceedingly uncommon One of the Just complaints of thos,e Cu bans who chafe under American con trol Is that today drunkenness Is on the increase and that the bad example, set by the carousing Americans who patronize the 2,000 new saloons which have sprung Into existence In the Is land within the past year, is teaching the natives to go to excesses in the matter of drinking saich as weie never thought or a few months ago Tho population of Cuba "his urgent npcil of fiee schools Theli establish ment in largo number is di minded not only by dictates of common humanity asameansof elevating nn Illiterate and long-oppressed race, but also by the consideration that they are essential to our pledged woik In Cuba. Tho honor and good faith of the United States government are officially obligated to a task in which free schools are Indis pensable tools, and unofficially, the American people are bound by prompt ings of human brotherhood to give to the educational needs of these waids of our foster-Isle their geneious Interest and support. Yet In the progress of Cuba's redemption It must be noted with shame that the saloon has ap parently taken tho lead over the public school nnd It Is a matter of some doubt whether tho school will ever bo able to catch up. That Incident In Clenfuegos the other day, when a group of drunken Ameri can camp-followers created a riot In a disreputable resort and when arrested by the Cuban police In tho line of their duty as safeguardlans of the peace were rescued with bloodshed by Ameri can soldiers led by a captain in our regular army, has Justly brought re proach upon our authority and our arms. With commendable diligence and Impartiality, General Wilson has caused the arrest of all the principals to this disturbance, turning the Amer ican civilians over to the Cuban civil tribunal for trial and ordering the American soldiers who wero Implicated to undergo court-martial. So far as the evil effects of such an episode can be , undone General Wilson has undone them. Yet the fact remains that among the more populous cities of Cuba the form of American energy which Is most In evidence before the suspicious natives Is that which hastens to Amer icanize tho vice of the Island and coin profit out of control of the business of pandering to that vice. In time, perhaps, this will not be. Our good work will no doubt event ually pteponderato over our evil, when tho agencies of decency become nrousod to their duty. Hut In the discussion of the beneficent results of American civilization upon downtrodden aliens It Is well to bear In mind that unless great care Is exercised tho first fruity of Americanization are liable upon careful examination to prove disap pointing. The American navy has reason to be proud of a tribute paid to It by Joseph Jj. Stlckney In his new biography of Dewey when ho says: "Admiral Dewey Is not an accident; ho Is tho natural product of his own sttong Individuality and the system by which officers of tho navy of tho United States are trained. He has passed through a school In which the necessity to net upon th Inspiration of an Instant Is combined with the knowledge of how to wait with Infinite patience for tho arrival of the right tlmo to act." This Is a pretty good recipe for success in the majority of vocations. In his newest novel Robert W. Chambers thus delivers himself against feminine competition: "Women huddle Into thollterary w orld.women w 1th three names, who Write, write, write! Tho periodicals of the country are choked with undigested women wearing three names, the book stalls groan with their harvests, the literary world reeks of their tea, and Its siroccos hiss through their docked hair." Ilobert should un doubtedly take something for this tired feeling. Kx-Governor Stone, of Missouri, act ing chairman of the Democratic Na tional committee, thinks that some "grave mistakes" havo been made at Manila, "but as matters stand at pres ent we have got to stand by out coun try." The governor's patriotism Is evi dently better than his politics. When General Otis Is through with the next campaign in the Philippines It is probable that the counlty will be In shape for the map-makets to work with some degree of accuracy. Colonel Hoosevelt seems to be a mm w ho can have a Fourth of July celebra tion In almost any locality he chooses to visit.

From tho Philadelphia Press. THE close of ono campaign In tho Philippines, brought to an end by tho rainy season, Is reported by General Otis In his last des patch, rtvlowlng the results of his op nations. When the next begins at the opening of October and tho beginning of the dry season, a foico of 40,000 men will bo under his command. This display of adequate und overpowering forco '.v ill alone go for to a close strug gle which has left but one organized force of 4,000 men opposed to the au thority of tho United States. For bIx vv eeks to come 2,000 to 3,000 men a vv eek will reach or leave for Manila, n larger forco than England sent In tho same period to the Indian mutiny, and alarger force than Is today gathered in South Africa awaiting possible war with the Transvaal. If, as General Otis shows nnd tho record of a scoro of conflicts demonstrates, the superiority of merl can arms has been established by the post campaign, their supremacy will ba put beyond doubt by the force which will bo present In Manila by the end of September, full 40,000 men. But the resistance which the country has faced In Luzon and the delay In Its suppression are the direct result of the long opposition In the senate to the Spanish treaty. This encouraged re sistance at Luzon nnd by forcing n, compromise on the army bill It re duced tho forces to suppress reslstanco nt the command of tho government in Washington. With resistance in Luzon as a result of opposition to annexation at Washington the country Is familiar. The relation between opposition at Washington and tho lack of an ade quate foice at Manila hns been less ap parent. With delay in the ratification of tho treaty went opposition to tho maintenance of the nrmy on an ade quate fccale. Both were supported by the same men, both had the same pur pose, and both have had the same re sults, the needless loss of American soldiers in tho rice fields of Luzon, tho needless cost of prolonged operations and the needless injury to national prestige and authority caused by re sistance at Luzon protracted through months Instead of weeks. With troopj enough, none of these things need havo occurred, and of troops the government was deprived by the same votes which delayed ratifica tion. By law, the army gathered to fight Spain disappeared with the ap pearance of peace, and tho only leg islation which could be secured from the senate last winter for a new army abruptly leduced the tegular aimy to UT.tOO men and provided for new en listments and a new- organization to supply new forces. The volunteers all had to be mustered out, and but for tho patriotism of tho volunteers who re mained at Manila the country would have fared as 111 as Senator Gorman and his associates proposed. Instead of being able to use the forces with which it brought the war with Spain to a triumphant close the administra tion was required by law to part with ull its volunteers at tho earliest mo ment, summarily to reduce the legular nrmy to 27,500 men, and then, if need weie, enlist, first, enough regulars to raise their force to G',000 men, and then, If need still were, enough volunteers, 35.000 In number, to make the entire force 100,000 men. In the spring of 1S08, a regular army of 27,500 had to be raised to 267,000. This spring this army by discharge was reduced to 27,500, and then tho work began of expanding it. first, to 65,000 and then, by adding 35,000 volun teers, to 100,000 men. Having begun by making resistance certain In Luzon by delaying the ratification of the treaty, the opposition, by tho army leg islation it extorted asi a compromise army bill, rendered its suppression diffi cult by requiring this spring not the maintenance of the war army but the new organization of a new aimv. Since March 3S.O00 men have been enlisted In the legular army. Many of these are ro-enllstments, but th- new enlistments have been 1,000 a week These troops had to be enlisted, must ered In, distributed and oiganlzed The labor, while attracting less attention, has been only second to that of a year ngo, and tho field of operations was this time 12,000 miles away. With volunteers steadily leaving Manila by steady shipments, the force 'n tho Philippines has been raised from 15,000 last winter to 21,000 today, regulars all. In a fortnight 2S.O0O men will be in Manila. By the middle nf -Xugust a forco of 23,Oi!0 men will bo there, and from that time on n steady st'eam of 1,000 mm a week will be maintained until the Islands are pacified, peace re stored ond the legal authority of the United States is established. This policy of doubling tho fo-ee now In Manila, trebling ihe men there last winter, and quadrupling tho army deemed necessary a jear ago, will be approved by the whole country Tho delays have been Irksome, nnd th pros pect and presence of a foico sufficient to hold every mile occupied' offeis the only course which should be followed If there has been delay It has b-en tin Inevitable result of tho dissolution of one armv and the oiranlzatlon of another nt tho very time when a resistance more seilons than thit of Spain faced tho government which nn Inesponslble op position niadt responsible for suppicss Ing resistance fomented by the very policy which itotrovtd the army thai had fought the war Just won and re quired the orraidrntion of a new one. Thl3 reorganisation has gone on for Pteen mmI.i ptst at tho ra of 5,000 men a week. Faster It could not go. It Is continuing at the rate of 1,000 men a week and villi continue while there Is need for mors men nt Manila or else where. With 23,000 men now, General Otis will resume operations when the rainy season Is over with 40,000 men The force is adequate and a weekly t enforcement of 1,000 men will keep It adequate until tho task of the nation Is accomplished. BEFORE AND AFTEB. rrom J. Sterling Motion's Conservative. During the tumultuous campaign of ISM, In tho city of Richmond. William J Oran declared: "I want to warn ou who aro contemplating tlesertlrg tho Democratic party at this time, that the man who, in the face of such an ene my, either goes to tho icar or is found in secret conference with the enemy, is a traitor upon whom tho brand Bhill be placed and HE SHALL NOT COME HACK " Tho dictatorial and majestic manner in which Mr. Drvan, by his own luthorlty, thus banished from the privl leges of association with the sanctified sllverltes, all thoso who had adhered to the diabolism of the gold standard, was lofty in Its Imperialism and unparalleled In Its modesty. Dut that cruel remark, calculated to Intimidate and bulldoze tho cowardly and weak, was mado before the election of 1898. Mr. Hryan Is better Inclined to forgive ness and mercy now, for In a speech made at Louisville, Kentucky, during tho Inst mix weeks, tho defiant and tho dic tatorial wero erased nnd In their stead wero served up the following poisuaslvo sweetmeats. There Is nothing of the bra vudo in this: "I havo been told that thero are hero a number of pcoplo who were Democrnts prior to 1S9G, but who, in U9S, wandered awoy Into tho Republi can fold or waited for awhllo at thit halfway place known ns the Gold Demo cratic purty.
