Southern Hen's 'Race" Talk.
TUt: AMMMCAN Academy of
Political and .Social Science
lms been holding Its fifth an
nual meeting In IMilladel
pliln. The pnpera o that city report
that Its closing session, on Saturday
afternoon last, was devoted to it dis
cussion of race problems In the South
and In the West Indies. The Ledger
calls It nn "enlightening discussion."
From one point of view It may be
called "enlightening." That Is ns to
the determination of Southern whites
to keep tho negro out of all powers of
government or exercise of the fmti
ehlfe. The "enlightenment" on th'it
subject was not an original oiitb.itst.
Tho action of Southern legislatures hits
already thrown a ray of blue lire, as
of sulphurous emanations, Into the at
mosphere of national politics, The
speakers on Saturday afternoon were
all from the Southern states. There
fore the discussion, so called, was nn
absolutely one-sided business, and the
"enlightenment" was solely another
statement of the Southern white sen
timents which have brought about tho
call upon congress to attend at Its
next assembling to bringing the repre
sentation of Southern states down to
constitutional requirements.
Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama, cx
secrctaiy of the navy, gave his opinion
that "the great mistake of tho nine
teenth century was universal suffrage
and the Fifteenth amendment." He
announced that it was a wrong to the
negro because It interfered with "his
habits of Industry acquired while a
slave"; and a wrong to the white man
because "after n few years experience
he came to the conclusion that In order
to save his civilization It was neces
sary to defiaud the negro at elec
tions." Clcorge T. Winston, president of tho
North Carolina Qpllegc of Agriculture
and 'Mechanic Arts, announced that
"reconstruction offers the saddest pic
ture In the annals of the English
speaking race." People who arc not
wholly blinded by race prejudice know
that that "saddest picture" was sup
plied by slavery in the South. He
went on to remark that "the two races
were closer together under slavery than
they have been since." In a most Im
moral and undesirable way only is that
Hue. Also it may be incidentally re
marked that, as the while slave owner
had the power of life or death over his
slave no negio being allowed to testi
fy if a slave was killed the reports did
not got into the public prints, as lynch
Ings do now.
W. E. H, Du Bois, a professor In
Atlanta university, closed the one-sided
discussion in what, from the brief: re
port of his address, appears to have
been a milder strain, insisting only
on what all true friends of tho negro
are wwi-klng for his better industrial
education.
Booker T. Washington, the great ne
gro educator and leader, president of
Tuskegee Institute, sent by mail a pa
per to be lead on this same "race prob
lem" In the South.. The reports in
genuously state that "It will be pub
lished in the annals of the academy"
--safely out of the way of the general
reading public, smothered so far as tho
academy can do so. But Booker Wash
ington's work and words for his race
cannot be smothcied. They stand out
already in the clear light of his coun
try's and. the world's knowledge and
approbation. He is worthy to bear the
bonoied name of "The rather of His
Country."
Tlie authors of the now medical
"science" at Jermyn have displayed
good judgment In first trying it on
the cow.
Hampton and Its Influence.
-m 'y O INSTITUTION of learning
jk In this country has wielded
Jl. 11 greater Influence In pro
portion to Its years than
Hampton Institute, Virginia. Founded
in lSiiS as the result of the untiring
labors of Dr. S. C. Armstrong, Its
thirty-third anniversary, just cele
brated, has found it with 2,000 grad
uates on Its list, ti.OOO students In till,
and of the entire nur ber scarcely one
to be marked ot its' honor roll of men
and women who have devoted them
selves to tho upllttlug of their race.
Although the Virginian and the fed
eral authoiltles were Interested by
Hampton's founder to tho extent of
giving tho Institute a recognized stand
ing and 11 certain amount of financial
basis, the school Is still largely de
pendent for support, and wholly for
over gi oiling facilities for extending
Its work, on the contributions of largo
hearted and public-spirited friends of
the negro and of the Indian. It Is to
be remembered that Hamilton from
the first has admitted tho members
o! both those races on equal terms,
and that never has any dllllculty oe
cui'ted between tho students.
In counting Hampton's nidlniton ot
Innuendo it is never to bo forgotten
thai Uooker T, Washington and his
wife are both graduates of Hampton,
that both there received the Impulse
to devote their lives to uplifting their
race and tho education of all their
powers which has enabled them to do
so, Tuskegee institute with all Its
"Held schools" is tho daughter of
Haniplon,
A brilliant and distinguished party
lms been attending Hampton's thirty
third aninveisary. On Tuesday the
liith, an Infoimal preliminary confer
ence on education was held, participat
ed In by leading white educators and
clergymen from northern and a few
southern states. On Wednesday morn
ing the bourd of trustees held Its an
nual session, while the lurgo number
of vlsltois went, through tho trade
school and shops where the young men
were engaged In work.
The trades that are taught ure taught
thoroughly. Many young men learn
several, so that when they take up
their work among the Ignorant uegioes
"the Hold work," so called they can
build und teuch others to build; can
take conttnetp for the whole ot a build
ing. The newer halls, dormitories, and
other needed buildings for the trade
and rdticsitlutmt Instruction ot the
Southern negro nro now almost Invari
ably built wholly by the students.
Tho teports ot "Hold work" made by
John Lemon of Calhoun, Alabama,
and by Mrs. Hooker T. Washington,
following the commencement exercises
on Wednesday afternoon, held the rio
fottndest attention or all visitors. The
telcgtapliod reports say thai Mr. Lemon
has been Instrumental' In starting and
maintaining u successful land company
In tho Blnck Belt of Alabama, In 11 sec
tion where tho (people live In acttntl
slavery under the crop mortgage sys
tem, which keeps Us victims In perpet
ual debt. His numerous instances of
tho wretchedness caused 'by this sys
tem gave emphasis to the Importance
ot his subleet, "Tho Homo as the
Ccnlte of Life und Work," Although
much has been done by the Northern
school that has been established at Cal
houn, tho homes nie still far from what
they should be.
Mrs. Booker T, Washington gave an
account of the settlement work estab
lished by her on n plantation near Tus
kegee. The young woman, 11 graduate
of Tuskegee, who lias gone to live
among tho people on this plantation,
keeps her two room cabin so that It
shall be 11 model for her neighbors. She
teaches the children In her school to
sew, cook, care for the house und work
In the garden. With their help she
raised last year very fair crops of
potatoes and other vegetables, sugar
cane and cotton. It Is only by this
getting close to the people that they
can be helped to establish real homes
In which can be reared respectable citi
zens or the lepubUc.
This is the encouraging side to the
"race problem" In tho South. It comes
again with peculiar significance directly
following such talk as was made by
ox-Secretary Herbert and others tho
week before at the meetings ot what
calls itself the American Academy of
rolitleal and Social Science.
The bill prohibiting the use of boracic
acid and other Injurious compounds
in canned foods, which was passed in
tho house tho other day, Is another
step In the right direction in the in
terest of public health. While looking
after tho much-abused oleo, it is a
good plan to keep an eye upon the
chemical preparations which are far
more dangerous than tallow butter In
its worst form.
