THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.
He Is Bound to Move Forward and Upward
with the Other Races.

with the Other Races.
Interview with Hon. John NJ Langston.
"And in regard to the condition of the me-
gro and his future in this country let me say
right here that have seen the negro in
state OF self-government In Hayti, owning
his own country and ruling it. l have also
seen him in the British. Spanish, French and
Danish West India Islands, where he is free
but has no power, and is struggling for life,
and / tell you that as an emancipated subject
he is to-day far better off in the United States
than in any of those islands except Hayti,
which he owns. although he has been free
there many more years than he has here A
compromising circumstance is found in the
fact that he was brought here slave freed
here, and here he emulates his white fellow
citizens having a political status and
governmental opportunities, while there he
has no voice, because the white element
themselves have none, being governed in
Europe and he remains simply newer of

the negro in the United States has great
future just as the rest of the people have it.
He is bound to go along with the rest of the
country and people. While he has been put
back politically in the Southern States, the
last few years, yet revolution is slowly
working which is just as powerful and ire
sistble as the old Abolition movement In
1856 was elected to a petty Office in Lorain
county Ohio, and | was the first negro ever
elected to a popular office in this country.
Yet where do l stand to-day, and where do
my people stand? 1t will be but few years
before the negro in the South will have
thorough political revolution In Virginia
today he has it, and in no other State is
the negro SO well off The number of coll
ored schools and pupils has doubled in the
last few years. This is greatly due to the
Malone movement, which will give all the
people their rights and privileges. This APP
plies as much to the poor white class as the
negro, for all through the South they need
education just as much. They were practi-
cally just as much slaves as the negro. The
Malone movement has been an educating
movement and as such l hail it and hope
more such will spring up. | made ten

A RIVAL FOR OBENsHAIN.

A Massachusetts Prophet Who Conducts
Religious Meetings on a Free-Love Basis.
Boston Special.
A most interesting case was before the ST.
periOr Court at Dedham to-day 1t was that
of Jackson L. Evans and Catherine B. Cobb,
each charged with polygamy, and Miss Katie
l.. Whitney, charged with immoral conduct
all at Wrentham. These are some of the
parties who have created great public inter
est by the practice of immortality in the
name of spiritual power. Lyanse Evans
came to Wrentham in 1879 and conducted
religious meetings on a Brigham Young
basis. The government opened the case by
placing ). A. Cobb, husband of Catherine.
on the stand He testified that Evans
came to his house and held meetings
there. Evans was accustomed to hug
and kiss all the women and justified it
upon the ground that it was necessary for
spiritual communion. Miss Whitney is a
niece of witness and he, witness. had seen
her alone with Evans and had also found
Mrs. Cobb aud Evans under suspicious cir
cumstances. He did not think much about
it at the time, as he was full of his religion.
Subsequently the frequency of the meetings
became monotonous and he spoke to Evans
about it, who replied that he could not help
it, as he was like hitching post, the women
all clinging to him. and saying the women
were to blame. Subsequently Mr.. Cobb left
that house and left his wife. who continued
to live with Evans. Miss Whitney had two
children at Wrentham and one in Dedham
jail. The popularity between Evans and
the women continued until their arrest.
Evans told him that the conditions OF spir-
itual life demanded close communion with
each other and embracing, kissing and like
demonstrations of affection were justfable.
Evans said, although not approving of it, he
could not help it, and that they had come
together for salvation.
