Last night , nt Uol- niontcoo's , Amos 1'urkor Wilder talked to bis fellow nlumliu of Yale collcgo about what 10 had scon lu n rocoul. trip through the soutb. The uopro question , ho said , would bo sot tied provided the negro kept his hands off. The southern Understanding was that the black man and tbo white man should each follow his own way Independent of the other , n situation which today scorns a cruel ono fqr tba negro. Underneath tbo present almost hostile altitude of tbo whites , however , ho had discerned an acknowledging of the bonotlts which the south doilvcs from the uogro population which promises wall for the future. Mr. Wilder unld that the ontorprUo and advance ment of the so-called "now south" was duo almost entirely to northerns who bavo gene there slnco the war. Some time ago , bo said Mr. Dopaw had advised young men to go south and many Yale men , amongothcra , bad gene there and ivcro now among the most prosperous of ssuthornort ! . Mr. Uopow , who presided at the moating then said : "When I returned from my southern trip three yuan ago and told you of the observations I bad made , a reporter who was present printed a synoptits of a portion of while 1 said , dwelling particularly upon my words nf praise of the ( south. I hoard from that report. My ( Correspondence amounted toabushal a day or thereabouts. Pooulo wanted to know where they must go to profit by this wonderful 121 Dorado. They inquired about the trams und what stations they should got off nt. Then the southern land boomer got hold of my report. Ho took extracts from Hand drintod It over mv name on hand bills as big us that mlrrorovcr there In consequence thousands ef families in all parts of tbo north and west , who had not succeddud very well , packed up and wont south. Then I began to receive moro corre spondence. But It w.is of a different sort. Some of It was Intlammatory. Some of It was vituperative. A good many of my corro snondents asked for loans. " 'Mr. Dopow talked of the negro question hopefully. Do said , bowovor , that projudlco gave the negro no chance in the nortn and tlm' , so far a ? ho could see this northern projudlco was Increasing. IIo said ho looked upon Hamoton collage as the eventual solu tion of the negro question. In sneaking of the prejudice of southern whites against the negro ha said : "Whon a while man goes south before long ho joins in suppressing tbo negro no matter how good a republican bo may have been in the north.
