MISUNDERSTANDING the venemOuS misrepre-
sensations OF Blaine in bis Augusta speech,
and the perversiOns of the republican parts
ans, who still manifest disposition IL
''wave the bloody Shirt 1t Is fact that
kindly disposition is being manifested BY the
white race at the South towards the colorcd
people. Tleir rights are rsco IulseI AMI re-
spected, and their industrial aud other inter-
ests promoted. The whites regard the ne
groes as an inevitable integral part of their
population, and that the prosperity of the
South can best be promoted by cultiyating
kindly relations between the races.
Gov Jarvis, of North Carolina. in his an
nual message to the Legislature, with true,
magnanimity and far-seeing craftsmanship,
recognizes the fact of the interiependence of
the races on each other, as con nected with
the material welfare of each, and advises and
suggests ways and means to benefit and adj
vance the interests of the colored people, be-
cause the protection and advancement of
their interests will have reflex benefit on
the prosperity of the white race. and the gen.
eral welfare of the whole South. He regards
the recognition of the coored peoples rights
| and franchises as Indispensable to the exist
| ence Of peaceful relations between the races,
and of prime importance to the well-being,
and safely of the whole Southern country.
Six years ago the colored people of North
Carolina organized State Industrial Associ-
stion, for the encouragement of thrift and
industry, especially in agricultural and me-
chanical pursuits. This Association holds a
Fair each year, and the Governor is of the
opinion that it has been means of great
benefit and encouragement and improve
ment among the colored people, and sug-
gests the making of an appropriation for the
exhibition which the Association propose to
hold next year, open to the negroes of all
the States. In advocating this ameliorating,
enlarged and comprehensive measure, the
Governor in his message kindly and wisely,
and with statesmanlike forecast says:
Icheerfuliy bear testimony to the fact that the
coored people OF this State with rare exceptions
have been orderly. law abiding citizens during
my term OF Office. &" lean see
marked improvement among them i'm many
ways, which Is commendable in them AMI bene-
fetal to the State The relations existing be-
tween them and the white people are so kind and
harmonious that we hardly realize that one-third
OF our population is OF one race and two-.hrds OF
another distinct race. and that qnarter OF a
century has not yet passed since tie One.third
was held In slavery by the other two thirds. The
race problem can best he solved by those who
have TO meet day after ny its different phases
and any interference by Congress or by those
VINO not affected by IL is unwise perniclous
These views OF Gov. Jarvis are receiving
a ready response not only In North Carolina,
but from the white race throughout the South
and from their newspapers. Among others,
the New Orleans Tnlss Dsmocrat heartily APP
proves of them and saws:
1.-The aciiIn OF Gov Jarvis Is very similar to
that OF orr Exp lion manng 'ment IN creating
rOlored department for the express display oil
articles manufactured by negroes. These &C.
tons evince the extreme Interests OF the white
people Of the South in the p:Oyress and improve
ment OF the colored race, which they feel are
essential TO the prosperity Of this section"
This generous, manly and humanizing
views OF the ma jor class OF the South ouglt
to silence the partisan marplots OF the North
of the Republican, Blaine stripes, who
for pa,try political party advantage would
foment and perpetuate quarrels and antig-
onisms and conflicts between the races at
the South. The coiored people are evidently
coming TO an enlightened sense Of their in
terests and their duties, and II left u them
selves ithout outside Interference will work
out the race problem satisfactorily, and to
the peace, prosperity aud welfare OF the en-
tire population.
