The Fnture OF tic islecks.

Elsewhere we present a synopsis of Prof,
Gardeners paper on the race problem in tho
southern states. lie presents one view of q
question that is growing in Importance year
by year. One of his conclusions that the
negro cannot be removed or dcported, will
be accepted by nearly all who have given the
subject much thought. Another, that
the superior fecundty of the blacks,
pointing to their outnumbering the
whites two to one within fifty years,
insures that amalgamation would result
in the absorption not Of the black but of the
white race in the south, will justly be met by
quick dissent. Such a theory involves con-
ditions unlikely to ever exist. 1t is only
necessary to suggest that the half million OF
mi xed blood in the south owe their parentage
on the maternal side solely to the blacks, nor
docs it seem to us that the future of the blacks
necessarily involves that they should be de-
ported, amalgamatcd, or have the southern
states or any other part of the national do
main set apart for their solo and separate
occupancy. That tho blacks increase faster
than tho whites in the south is proved
but immigration will largely correct
this evil presently. 1t will newt
ably come about that q different policy
will obtain in the southern states
under tho influence of which the south will
receive an influx of whites who have Ions
been ready to go there when assured of politi
which tho blacks will be educated
With education the impulse 10 spread
abroad will be quickened amonl
them. 1t Is useless to talk or think o
any solution in this connection that involves
or suggests the removal of the whites from
the southern states 1t is an ethnologica
truth that tho Anglo-saxon is one of the mas
ter races, and it is idle folly to suggest his
giving up to any less masterful race. The
truth is however, that there is no III
superable objection to tho races liv
ing and growing together in usefu
amity. Education, humanity. justice, ant
a mutual recognition Of good qualities arr
quantities that must enter into and solve thi
race problem Let us suggest to the student
and theorists that the condition of the hal
million blacks in tho north indicates pretty
conclusively that the races can live togethe
in peace on basis Of conceded politica
and legal equality.
