ANOTHER PHASE OF THE PROB
LEM. Yesterday we expressed the opin
ion that while there are several
phases of the race problem, the
first cfae which must be solved, and
on thesolution of which the solu
tion of the other? will hinsje, ia the
suffrage problem. Suffrage is the
main cause of the friction and
alienation between the races, and
the principal impediment to meas
ures for the betterment of the
negro race. It is pretty generally
conceded by white people who have
given the race problem serious con
sideration, and also by thoughtful
negroes, that the hope of the race
ia in industrial training; but there
ia a difference of opinion fca to what
this industrial training should con
sist of.
Booker T. Washington, who in
our opinion is the most thoughtful,
practical and sensible negro who
essays to talk for and to his race,
and to counsel it, believes in train
ing the" hand with the head, and
while paying proper attention to the
head,to pay quite as much to the
hand', that the negroea may become
8killed laborers, and learn how to
work and to like it. He holda that
when a negro makes himself really
useful in a community he will begin
to command respect, and when he
does' that he will be on the up
grade. Hia contention and advice
have met with a pretty general re
sponse from the white people who
take an interest in the improvement
Of the negro, and they have not only
wished Booker T. Washington well
in his mission, but have given him
substantial aid.
There is as far as we have discov
ered no difference of opinion among
the friends of the negro, 'white or
black, as to the necessity of indus
trial training, but there ia a differ
ence as to what this industrial train
ing should be, whether it should
embrace the trades or be confined
to the farm and the rising genera
tion .of negroea be taught how to
farm and how to do it to the best
advantage. There are s6me who
contend that farming is the voca
tion for which the negro is best
adapted and the one that suits him
best, one of whom is the Rev. Mr.
Lilly, of Alabama, who - took this
position at the recent meeting of
Presbyterian Assembly in Atlanta
He contended that while negroes
might be taught trades, and might
make good tradesmen, it was useless
to teach them the mechanic arts be
cause bo few of them would stick to
the trades they learned after they
took their departure from the insti
tutions in which they learned them.
The true industrial, education for
the negro, he maintained, was to
i learn how to plow and to plant, to
take care of stock, to know what he
is doing and how to do it with the
greatest advantage and the most
profit to himself.
Following this idea up a move
' ment has been started in Atlanta for
agricultural industrial training
schools for negroes. A committee
was appointed to go to Washington
- and urge upon Congress the appro
priation of money to aid this move
ment. A bill for that purpose was
drawn up and is now under consid
eration bygone of the committees of
fTiA TTonaa of BenresentativM. It
provides that when seven or more
bona fide residents of any of the
Southern States raise the sum of
$10,000, or its equivalent in land on
which to erect the necessay buildings
for such schools, Congress shall ap
propriate $50,000 for the erection of
the buildings and $100,000 as an
endowment fund. These schools
are to be under the direction of
Southern men and apportioned at
the rate of one ,to every 100,000
negro population. Of course there
is no probability of the schools, even
if the scheme carried, ever being so
numerous or anything like it, but this
serves to show what the scheme is,
which is now meeting with more or
less encouragement from friends of
the negro in the North and in the
South. Whatever may be their
opinion as to .the necessity or advisa
bility of taking the negroes out of
politics they hold that there is no
doubt as to the advisability of tak
ing the negroes out of politics they
hold that there is no doubt as to the
advisability of taking them out of
the cities and the towns and making
them identify themselves with the
farms, where they naturally belong,
and for which they are naturally best
adapted.
One of the strong arguments made
by the delegation which appeared
before the committee was the rapid
increase of crime among the negroes
and the amazing proportions which
it has reached m the past two decades,
being out of proportion to the
increase in tlie negro population,
and in striking contrast to the
crime and increase of crime among
i whites. We make an extract
from one of the speeches to illus
trate this. The speaker, W. M.
Walton, of Atlanta, said:
Number of Criminals in the United
States 1860, white 19,086, colored
none; 1870, white, 24,845, colored 8,
050; 18SO, white 41,860. colored 16 748;
1890, white 57,310, colored 25 019.
You will perceive by the above that
the criminal record of the colored pop
ulation in 1860 was so small that it was
not classified. The men who now
swing from the gallows and work in
ball and chain were then deciplined
bv the whipping post on the great
plantation of the south. By 1870 the
new generation of the negro begins to
come prominently to the front. The
increase is startlingly. rapid, until in
1890 we find the ratio of black criminals
to white criminals as 25. to 57
throughout our entire republic. In
other words, out of a total population
of 72,000,000 whites and 8,000,000
blacks, we are surprised to find that
about half of the criminal record of
the entire republic is furnished by the
black race, constituting one-tenth of the
whole. Statistics show that at least
one-half of the criminals (negroes) are
incarcerated for very Serious crimes.
When we realize that very nearly the
entire black criminal record of the
country originates in the south, we
ret a faint idea of the gravity of the
- - ... in u:1a th.M
problem in inai section- mio wiwo
are large numbers of illiterate whites
scattered through the south, we find
very few of them figuring in the crim
inal courts. About 90 per cent of the
convicts of that section are of the ne
gio race.
. It is said that these figures made
a strong impression on the commit
tee and well they might for they
present a striking object lesson and
a strong argument for taking the
negro away from the allurements and
temptations of the cities where the
scuffle for bread ia the hardest, and
the odds against him the greatest.
HOLDING IT 0PENT0R SPENCER.
The Republican Congressional Con
vention for the Fifth district met at
Greensboro Tuesday and after nomi
nating delegates to the Philadalphia
convention concluded to postpone
the nomination of a candidate for
Congress until August 9th, when
the job will be done at Durham.
This ia a somewhat irregular pro
ceeding in view of the fact that this
was a Congressional convention, and
was called for the special purpose of
nominating a candidate for Con
gress. The opinion is entertained that it
was a put up job to keep a place for
Spencer B. Adams when he is
pulled down from the State
ticket and Cyrus B. Thompson,
the Pop. figure-head, put up
in his place- It is supposed that
the dickering will be finished and
the arrangements made by the 9th
of August when' in pursuance of the
deal Cyrus will head the mongrel
ticket and Spencer will be .nomi
nated for Congress. When the
swapping; arrangements have been
perfected the probabilities are that
we will have a half-and-half ticket
half Pop. half Rep. and Populists
will be expected to vote for the Re
publicans and the Republicans for
the Populists, and all against the
constitutional amendment and white
supremacy. How will honest Popu
lists, who believe in principle, like
that way of being traded off, and
told to walk np and vote with the
colored brother against their own
race? But that's the size of the job
the machine managers are going to
put up. 1
As an argument for expansion
Senator Lodge says there has been
a large increase of trade with the
Hawaiian islands since we annexed
them. Hay be so, but while we did
some sharp practice in getting these
islands annexed, we didn't have to
sacrifice a lot of money and a lot of
lives to whip them in and get their
trade, as we have been doing in the
Philippines.

only city in this country which

' ABE TO THE EES CUE,.
Chairman Holton, of .the Repub
lican committee, is hard pressed
and has therefore summoned Abe
Middleton; the sable chief of the
.vi- i . i fV.a Third district, to
aula v;iaua iu vuv
his aid to help him run the machine.
He arrived at Greensboro Saturday
and was duly installed. Our readers
have heard of Abe before, but the
following from the Greensboro Tele
gram tells what kind of a rooBter
7 "
Abe is: j
"Abe wields a power of influence in
the party of which he is one of. the
leaders, and down in the Third Con
gressional District, where he resides,
is looked upon as a sort of demigod.
So complete is his domination of , the
Republican party in that section that
it has been asserted that he carried the
district in his vest pocket. !
"Often in times oi aire uiswrco,
white skinned Republicans have
turned to the ebony-hued demigod in
the Third District, and Abe has never
failed to .stretch forth the band of
brotherhood and render such assistance
as was in his power. Of course he
was rewarded for his self-sacrifice and
party fealty. Jn addition to occupy
ing a high seat in the councils of ,tne
been riven offices of
remuneration. When the fusion ele
ment captured the Legislature in 1895
he was made assistant door-keeper of
the House of Representatives, and
in a right lordly manner jdid
he guard the way of ingress
and of egress to and from the
lower house of the General Assembly.
It is a matter of history how, on one
occasion when the fusionists were ex
ceedingly anxious to rush some legis
lation through, Abe attempted to ar
rest two Democratic memoers oi mo
body to prevent a quorum from being I
broken. He would have lam violent
hands on the Democrats and forced
them to remain in, the hall of tbe
House. When the same crowd went
back to Raleigh in 1897 to legislate
Abe's services were remembered and
ha wa a trn m&de assistant door
keeper of the House of Representa-
"In addition to these honors, Abe
was for a while a member of the Re
publican State Executive Committee at
large, being displaced only at the late
Qtate convention of that party. It was
probably to provide for a more gen
eral distribution of honors that he was
left off the State committee and given
an important position with Chairman
Holton at headquarters.
"It. is not stated wbat part of the
campaign work Abe will direct, though
i i nmhhlA that to him will be in
trusted the work of writing and send
ing out literature to prove that there
has never been negro .domination in
North Carolina, and that there is now
no danger of such a condition.
The probabilities are that Abner
tiMfp.n red the services of Abe be
cause he will'have need to communi
cate frequently with the leaders of
the colored cohorts and doubtless
thinks he can do this more effec
tively through Abe than he could
himself, so that Abe will be a sort
of middle man between him and the
colored contingent, whose services
will be needed, and very much
needed, at the coming election, i
It is quite proper that in this
fight against white supremacy and
the white man Holton should have
a negro for his lieutenant, on whom
he can rely to draw the black cohorts
into line. In consideration of ser
vices rendered Abe doubtless ex
pects something nice, for Abe isn't
one of the fellows who works for fun.

PEACHES AND BLUBBER.
A Story
at Axtfcnr Strina-er
a-nd an
Oxford Professor.
Canadians are very touchy on the
subject of climate, as Rudyard Kipling
discovered when he somewhat thought
lessly dubbed the Dominion "Our Lady.
of the Snows." When Arthur Stringer,
the young Canadian poet and antLor,
first went to Oxford, he carried with
him letters ! from Professor Goldwln
Smith of Toronto to Professor York
Powell, the distinguished historian of
Chrlstchurch. ;
The old Oxford don, like one or two
other Englishmen, had very vague
Ideas about Canada and somewhat sur
prised the young stranger by Inquiring
if he got along nicely on English roast
mutton after living so long on frozen
seal meat The young poet gravely
protested that he perhaps missed his
whale blubber a" little, but the next day
cabled home, and in less than a week
the finest basket of autumn peaches
ever grown In Ontario, carefully pack
ed in sawdust, was on Its! way to Ox
ford. A short " time afterward the
young author was again dining with
the reglus ' professor at Oxford, and
that gentleman produced at the meal
a fruit dish loaded with tremendous
peaches.
"Most extraordinary," said the old
professor, I "but these peaches were
sent to me' today, and I'm blessed if I
know who sent them. f From the south
of France. I suspect, so I saved a few
of them for you. Stringer. They will
be such a novelty, you know."
The Canadian very quietly took a
steamship company's bill of lading
from his pocket and handed. It to the
professor. ; The professor gazed at the
bill, then at the fruit, then at the poet.
"I had some whale blubber, too, pro
fessor," said that young man, "but I
simply had to eat that These other
things were grown on my uncle's farm
in Kent county, Ont, you know. He
has 200 bushels of them every year,
and he sent me over a basket of little
ones along with the whale blubber."

' JACK'S GRIEVANCES. '
a
How He Hake Them Known to the
Captain of the Snip.
There is now but one way open for the
enlisted man, bluejacket or marine, who
has a kick to register. He must show hia
hand and file his complaint in his own
person or name, verbally or in writing.
If 20, 50, 100, enlisted men have a com
mon grievance, they must present that
grievance in delegation to the command
ing officer or in the form of a written bill
of complaint, with their signatures at
tached to it in order of their relative rat
ing. In most cases the method of pre
senting grievances in delegation at the
mast is resorted to by the enlisted men of
the American navy of today. The man
with the individual grievance occasional
ly puts in his complaint in writing an
addresses it to the secretary of the navy.
Commanding officers are compelled by
regulations to forward all such com
Dlaints to the civil chief of the navy
with, however, whatever indorsement
thereon they elect to make.
It is generally a moderately bad job for
an enlisted man to write a narrative of
woe to the secretary of the navy. Such
a chap doesn't frequently find his after
career in the navy one long dream of
peace and quiet. Enlisted men who have
drawn up unreasonable complaints, even
complaints not entirely unreasonable, and
thus addressed them have generally shed
some quiet saline Jtears in their ham
mocks afterward over the foolishness ef
the act. It seems reasonable to suppose,
too for human nature is the same on sea
and land that no bluejacket or marine
can possibly add to his sum total of com
fort or happiness aboard ship by mote or
less bluntly informing the civil head of
the navy department that the command
ing officer of the vessel on which he
serves is an unjust man, a bully or a man
who doesn't know his business. Yet this
fact, which looks so obvious, is very often
ignored by rash enlisted men. Exchange.

Something About This Highly Paid
English Army Official.
The word: "spy" has an ngly sound
owing to its many unpleasant associa
tions, yet in war time spies afford an ar
my aid which is as valuable as it is high
ly remunerated. I
One of the maxims xor commanding vi
ficers In a book tor their guidance writ
ten by Lord Wolseley is that a succeasful
spy must be petted and 'made much of.
The management of apies ia very difficult.
Out of every ten employed by the officer
commanding a war district h ia fortu
nate if one gives him truthful informa
tion. It is a most important thing that
spies should not be known to each other.
Great care is generally taken by officers
that each spy shall imagine that he is tha
only one who la employed.
It is-very necessary that all bona pda
spies should have about their persons
some means of proving themselves really
to be what : they represent themselves.
For this purpose a coin of a certain date,
a Bible of a certain edition, a Testament
with the seventh or fifteenth leaf torn
out, are generally employed.
By these means a spy who was employ
ed by an officer in a neutral state making
his way to the headquarters of the army
in the field could thus at once make him
self known to the intelligence department
there. In some Instances It is consiaerea
