There Is a negro question nnil not dimply a
matter of adjustment of relations between
two classes of the same race , as of landlords
nnd tenants , employers and employes all be
ing white or black , but of men and women of
two very different races holding business and
other relations to each other and living to-
Kcther In the same communities. Whether
the race clement makes dlinculty between
while nnd black In other countries docs not
count , so far as facts go , here. In the
United States It docs make difficulty and In
the- south chlclly only because most ot the
negroes arc In the southern states.
A few negroes have gonu north as a few
northern people have come south. How do
these get on together ? It Is a question of
facts only. Northern people and negroes ,
when brought Into relations , got on together
Just as southern people and their negro
neighbors do , with unquestionably this differ
ence , southern white people are more patient
with negroes they employ than northern people
ple are and , In personal relations , are more
kind to them.
It Is essentially , at bottom , a race question
In all parts of the United States ot which I
have had personal observation from Ohio to
Texas and from Massachusetts to California.
It wds a question before and Blnco the war ;
n question whenever and wherever these two
peoples have been thrown together. It Is a
race question now and will be so long as the
two races live together In this country.
Doctrlnarles of many schools striving
strenuously to force facts Into conformity
with their theories have told us how to
_ solve the race question that every day and
"hour demands our consideration. And a very
emergent and Important question It Is.
There have not been lacking theorlzers who
have trusted In what they first called "amal
gamation , " afterwards "miscegenation. " A
few have seemed to gain a sort of pleasure
in contemplating such a solution. It Is a
very monstrous and brutal way of looking at
It. Hut It Is as silly as It Is revolting. One ,
a bishop , spoke of It as a "bleaching" pro
cess !
TUB TENDENCY TO MISCEGENATION
GROWING LESS.
Every Informed person In the south
Icnows that the tendency to miscegenation
grows less and less every year. Emanci
pation strengthened In both races revolt at
blood-mingling by these dissimilar people.
The negro question will never be solved by
any process of race cfTacement though we
wait a thousand years. The mulatto will
gradually disappear. This negro question ,
inherited from our fathers , wo will hand
dcwn to our children.
In seeking the best solution to any dlf- '
flcult question It Is often very helpful to
find out what cannot bo done. Let us
eliminate from our thinking the clement
of miscegenation.
THE NEGUO HERE TO STAY.
Wo may as well eliminate solution by
deportation. In what follows on this point
I must run the risk of being charged with
dogmatism. One who has received Impres-
slcns concerning any matter from his In
fancy may well enough have contioiling rea
sons for conclusions ho cannot give to an
other lacking similar knowledge.
One ot my conclusions Is : The negro Is
hero to stay concerning which opinion one
might write a book , without getting to the
end.
Bishop Henry M. Turner of the African
Methodist Episcopal church I have known
ulnco ho first appeared In reconstruction
politics the llko of which the sun never
saw before and never can see again In
Georgia a generation ago. He Is a man
of great ability and of intense convictions.
Ills whole soul Is set on emigration to Africa
ns the one possible solution of the negro
question. If ho had a thousand years to
live ho would glvo nlno centuries of his
"expectation of life" to see- his hope a
reality. No man knows better than Bishop
Turner that the negro question In the United
States Is a race question. I bellovo he
thinks It a permanent question ; I do most
certainly. Ho has made many most elo
quent speeches , seeking to fire the hearts
of his people with an Invincible deslro to
find homes , opportunity , freedom nnd en
largement of life in Africa. Ho has de
spaired of their finding these great boons
here. If ho could found , or see founded , a
great Christian negro republic In Africa
he would bo the happiest man In the world.
Ho Is , I am sure , most conscientious In
all ho thinks and says on the subject.
- But ho awakens among his own people
moro antagonism than favor when ho urges
them to colonize the dark continent.
EMIGRATION TO AFRICA.
The newspapers gave much prominence to
such movements as Garton's ; a ship load
at southern negroes going to Siberia from
this country some months since. As If twice
BO many negroes were not born the day they
Bailed !
As affecting the negro question such Ill-
managed enthusiastic escapades amount to
nothing. The few who go are , In the opinion
ot the multitudes who stay , only freaks.
'Whether colonization bo advocated by white
(
or black men , doctrlnarles or philanthropists ,
It Is the same thing ; the sum of the result
is nngcr and distrust.
The fundamental reason for rejecting colonization
nization In Africa as a solution ot our prob
lem Is a very simple and conclusive one ;
the negroes do not wish to go and they do
not Intend to go. Moreover , the great body
ot the white people do not wish them to go
nway. History shows that great epoch-
inaklng migrations result from some deep
impulse urging the race that moves and not
the desire ot some other race that does not
move. A people , dominated by another
race , might bo so oppressed as to create
this race-moving Impulse. How little south
ern negroes are so affected wo see. In the
vary small number that have moved out of
the old slave states Into northern nnd west
ern portions ot the union. It may bo an
swered they find that their condition la not
helped by such movlngs In the United States.
Let another make the retort ; I will not an
ticipate l ( by BO much as offering an opinion
nbout It.
It.NO " *
NO MOVEMENT BY FORCE.
As to moving the negroes to Africa by
force , I never heard of a southern man who
entertained such a thought for a moment.
"Wore It attempted from without and the
negroes were passive ( and they would not
l > e passive ) southern men would make trouble
ot an extraordinary sort. If there were a
M ill country In which to settle them ; It there
were moans for moving them , no right-
thinking man would consent to send these
j > coplo away against their will. Violent de
portation would surpass the wrong that
brought them hero.
The exceptions to these statements are
so few that they do not count In any view
ot the whole subject under consideration.
The southern white people who want them
out ot this country are as few as the negroes
who have gone to Africa or wish to go.
THE NEGROES WILL UK I'ROTECTED.
' A , few wcoka since the newspapers told
til of Bonio "striking brotherhood" that
passed resolutions that "tho negro must go. "
'They Were not men ot the south , the men
ot the south will protect the negro against
men Ilka these If they go beyond resolutions
to deeds.
What God's providence may bring about
ns to the relation ot these truly wonderful
people to Africa , men will know what time
It pleases God to show hU designs to men.
Tbat the negro race In America baa Im
portant and vital relations to the future of
Africa Is as plain to mo as that they came
from Africa. Hut this Is equally clear. If
all the negroes wished to go , If all the white
people wished them to go , It the United
Btates government owned vast territories In
Africa , It the people of the United States
were ready to "foot the bill" for moving and
settling and protecting them , the negroes
hero are now no more ready for so stu-
| > < mdou a change than Africa la ready for
( hem. Great changes are going on In
Africa , Greater by education and Chrlttlan-
Izatlon among the negroes here
BUSINESS INTERESTS 0V THE NEGRO.
Before closing this article another view ot
the cnnc should be presented. The southern
negro has business nnd other Interests In tills
country which he begins to appreciate very
highly. He Is getting land of his own ; ho
Is accumulating property ; he Is educating his
children. lie Is getting to be a business
man. At this point I quote a paragraph
from a speech delivered In the United
Slates senate May 28 , by the junior senator
from Georgia , the Hon. Patrick Walsh an
Irishman profoundly patriotic to America ; a
Catholic so broad minded and liberal that ho
Is on example of tolerance and charity to
many Protestants than whom an honeater ,
truer man Is not In the United States senate.
I have many times gone over the ground
and the senator's statements arc from first
sources the books ot the comptroller general
ot Georgia. Georgia has separate lists for
the return of taxable property by whites and
blacks. It Is Important that wo study the
business facts that enter Into the general
question. It Is to be wished that other
southern states would adopt the same
method.
THE VIEW OF SENATOR WALSH.
Senator Walsh , a better authority than
Miss Ida Wells , says :
"A fact worthy of note Is that the no.
grocs returned for taxation In Georgia ,
property aggregating In value In 1870 , $5,183 , *
398 ; In 1339 , $10,115,380 ; In 1893 , fl4,9G0.67B.
( Ho might have added that the Imitative
negro never "gives In" his property at any
fancy valuation ; $15,000,000 In 1893 means
about $10.000,000. )
"This Is an Indisputable evidence that
the negro Is given a fair showing , and
that In Georgia the Industrious and ceo.
nomlcal citizen can make a living and ac
cumulate property , whether ho be white 01
black. The negro Is treated fairly , and ,
besides being able to acquire property , his
children arc given educational advantages
which they eagerly Improve. Georgia appropri
ates In round numbers eleven hundred tliou.
sand dollars for public schools , and this goes
equally to the education of both races. The
tentedly together and the negroes rccognlzk
that their best friends are the whites amonft
whom they live , who know their habits and
customs , and have a more genuine Interest
In them than those who profess a great deal
more. "
This witness Is true. I spell "Negro"
wlth.-a "big N , " In this question Negro
means a race and not a color.

ENTERTAINING CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS
The Greatest of Summer Conventions and
How It Will Ho lliuulloit Prepara
tions Holng Nado on an Kx-
tciiBlvo Scale.
Among the many annual gatherings held
by different societies and organizations , none
exceed In numbers nor excel In enthusiasm
those held by the societies of Christian En
deavor. The annual convention of this largo
and Influential organization Is to be held
this year In Cleveland , 0. , July 11 to 15.
It promises to outrank In many ways the
truly wonderful meetings of recent years.
Larger and more thorough preparations ara
being made than have ever been made be
fore. The "committee of ' 91 , " composed of
ten of Cleveland's young people , besides the
chairman , Rev. J. Z. Tyler , D.D. , has taken
adl-antago of the experience of former com
mittees of arrangement and Is wisely plan
ning to overcome many of the obstacles that
are met In arranging for such Immense
gatherings. It Is expected the attendance
will bo 30,000.
When the delegates assemble In the
"Forest City" on the llth of next month
they will find about the most complete ar
rangements for their comfort that could bo
mado. The hall , entertainment and recep
tion committees have been laying plans for
a year In anticipation ot eclipsing every
thing that has preceded their work. The
two principal places of meeting are on
Wlllson avenue , a broad and beautiful
thoroughfare running- south from Lake Erie.
Saengerfest hall stands on the corner of
Scovlll and Wlllson avenues , and a mammoth
tent will bo pitched on the corner ot Cedar
and Wlllson avenues. Each place will
taslly accommodate 10,000 persons. Two
laigo churches near by have been secured
for overflow meetings. Music hall , with a
seating capacity of 5,000 , has been secured
In case a meeting Is needed In the business
part of the city. Fifteen of the largest
churches and the Young Men's Christian as
sociation hall have been secured for opening
meetings on Wednesday evening. The
motto ot the hall committee is , "Seeing , ye
shall hear , and bo comfortable. "
Entertainment will bo In hotels and
private residences. Hotel rates will vary
from ? l.50 to $4.00 a day , according to the
hotel and to the number of delegates oc
cupying the same room. In private resi
dences three classes of entertainment have
been provided room only , room with break
fast and room with three meals. The aver
age rate for lodging and bonrd In private
families will not exceed $1.50 a day , and
many can be accommodated at lower rates.
The plan of entertainment Is unique arid
thoroughly systematic. Each state has one
person , who acts as transportation manager
for that state. Instead ot securing entor-
talrment from the Cleveland committee
delegates write to their manager , saying
what they want and at what price. He
alone deals with the entertainment com
mittee , thus avoiding much annoying detail
work. Each state will have headquarters
In a church and Its delegates will bo placed
In the homes of that neighborhood. As
the different delegations arrive they will betaken
taken at once to their state headquarters ,
where thay will reglnt < r and receive the
convention badge , without which entrance
cannot bo gained to the meetings. As
each delegate registers ho will receive a
billet , stating where and what his accom
modations are , and what they cost. Guides
will at onc-3 escort delegates to thvlr homos.
The committee Is planning for largo
restaurants near the convention buildings ,
to accommodate those who are assigned to
distant parts ot the city.
Cleveland has one ot the best street car
systems In the world , There are no horse
cars , electricity and cable being the only
motive power used. The halls are easily
accessible from all par In of the city. Mem
bers of the reception committee wlll , meet all
delegations as they enter the city , and will
escort them to their headquarters. The
members of this committee will be dlstln-
Uhad by white yachting cap trimmed

with gold , white and gold being the official
colors of the Cleveland union.
Two largo chorus choirs and two orches
tras will lead the music. Mr. Percy S. Fos
ter of Washington , D. C. , ; Mr. H. C. Lin
coln of Philadelphia and Mr. J. Q. Warren
ot Cleveland will have charge of these
choirs. The music , always one of the most
Inspiring elements In these gatherings , prom-
Iseso to bo unusually attractive at the Cleve
land convention. The convention badge Is
designed to be a beautiful little souvenir.
It U a diamond-shaped booklet , containing
twelve pages of exquisite half-tone vlows of
the Forest City , and enclosed in beautifully
lithographed celluloid covers. A beautiful
advance sou\enlr of the convention , "Chris
tian Endeavor in Cleveland , " has been pre
pared , It Is a book ot 107 pages , bound
In white and gold embossed covers , giving
an Interesting epitome of the history ot the
Cleveland union. It will bo the only com
plete souvenir that will bo Issued by the
"Committee of ' 94. "
Not only the Christian Endeavorcrs of
Cleveland are getting ready to welcome the
army of young people , but the citizens nnd
members of every church , and of , no church ,
are becoming actively Interested In the great
event. A citizens' committee , composed of
some of the leading business men , lias Just
Issued a letter calling upon the entire com
munity to prepare for the entrance Into their
city of Christ's army of young people.
Cleveland will put on Its holiday attire In
giving welcome ; the business houses and
residences will be gaily decorated with the
stars and stripes , and with white and gold
bunting. Flags of special design In white
and gold have been prepared nnd are being
purchased in largo quantities by the hotels ,
business houses and cltl/cns generally. The
press committee Is planning to have com
plete arranpements for reporting the gatherIng -
Ing from ono end of the country to the
other. Everything Is combining to make
the thirteenth annual convention of the
Christian Endeavor society a great success ,
and If the hard times have not been felt
too seriously the attendance will bo fully
equal to the expectations of the convention
committee.

The Work of Tubing It Down ltd ICccoril In
Chicago.
Preliminary work Incident to taking down
the Ferris wheel on the Midway plalsanco
was begun yesterday , says the Chicago
Tribune. This consists of placing false work ,
engines and hoisting apparatus. Some day
next week the big wheel will turn for the
last time In Chicago. At that llmo several
Ferris Wheel company officials will rldo
around on the struts that are still In place.
Some will simply hold to the tan-Inch Iron
beams , while others , moro timid , will be
tied on ,
It will take ton weeks to take the wheel
to pieces. The car that was used for car
rying the Krupp gun will bo used for carry
ing the seventy-ton axle. The material
will bo taken In five trains ot thirty
cars each to Now York City , There
are 3,000 tons of metal In the wheel
and 500,000 feet of timber needed for the
false work. Taking the wheel down will be
moro dangerous than putting It up. Only
ono life was lost In erecting the big attrac
tion.
tion.Tho
The expense of taking down , moving and
rebuilding the wheel will bo $150,000 , In
Now York It Is to be placed at Thirty-seventh
street and Broadway. Old Vienna will bo
reproduced around It. Here the wheul had
3,000 electric lights ; In Now York the num
ber will bo doubled. The old Ferris Wheel
company goes out of existence and a new
company , composed of New York men , has
boon formed. Superintendent L. V. Rico
has charge of the removal.
During the fair 'the wheel wont around
10,000 times nnd carried 2,000,000 passengers.
The largest single load was carried October
19 , when at 12:30 : o'clock 1,768 people were
In the cars. The largest day's business
was October 10 , when 38,000 people were
carried , October 9 , 10 and U there were

An International I.ovo Affair that Threat
ened ii Yorltublo Wnr.
Thomas G. Allen , Jr. , and William L.
Sachtlobcn , the young American students
who made a blcyclo tour around the world ,
describe their experiences In Persia In tha
July number of the Century. The following
peculiar International complication came to
their knowledge at Tabreez :
The English government , it seemed , had
become embroiled In a local love affair Just
at a time when Colonel Stewart was off on
"diplomatic duty" on the Russian Trans-
Caspian border. An exceptionally bright Ar
menian beauty , a graduate of the American
missionary schools at that place , had been
abducted , It was claimed , by a young Kur
dish cavalier , and carried away to his moun
tain home. Her father , who happened to be
a naturalized English subject , had applied
for the assistance ot hla adopted country in
obtaining her release. Negotiations were at
once sot on foot between London and Tehe
ran , which finally led to a formal demand
upon the Kurds by the Shah himself. Upon
their repeated refusal , 7,000 Persian troops
U was said , were ordered to Soak Doulak ,
under the command of the vlco consul , Mr.
Patton. ,
The matter at length assumed such an
Importance as to glvo rise , in the HOUEO of
Commons , to the question , "Who is Katty
Greenfield ? " This , In time , was answered
by that lady herself , who declared under
oath that she had become a Mohammedan ,
and was In love with the man with whom
she had eloped. Moro than this , It was
learned that she had not a drop of English
blood In her veins , her father being an
Austrian , and her mother a native Ar
menian. Whereupon the Persian troopers ,
with their much disgusted leader ,
beat an Inglorious retreat , leaving * "Katty
Greenfield" mistress of the situation , and of
a Kurdish heart. 4

In Germany all employers are obliged to ?
Insure their employes , oven when the employ
ment Is temporary and unpaid. There are
special associations for different Industries.
Injuries Include those which are Internal as
well as external , loss of Intellect , memory ,
or nerve. When compensation Is chimed It
Is necessary to trace the Injury to some
specific came. Generally , the person who Is
to gain or lose most by the undertaking la
held to bo the employer. Employers' contri
butions to the associations are proportionate
to their annual expenditure In wages. The
amount of compensation Is based on the
wages received by the workman during a
year. So long > s ho Is completely Incapaci
tated ho Is to bo allowed two-thirds of his
wages. For partial disablement he obtains a
fraction of that maximum proportionate to
the extent of the Injury. In case of death ,
twenty days' payment ( In no case a sum ICSH
than 'M marki ) Is granted toward funeral ex
penses , The widow , until remarriage , Is al
lowed 20 per cent of her husband's wagei ,
while 15 per cent Is allowed for every child
under ID who has lost one pirent , and 20
pur cent If It has lost both , The total com
pensation to widow and children must not
exceed CO per cent.
