said that Austria's foreign relations and
general foreign policy were unchanged, and
that she was in full agreement with her al
lies. The government, he said, was doing Its

CONGRESS STREET NJ. e. CHURCH.
Yesterday. Mr.. Ramsay. a young colored
man % years old. spoke at the Congress
Street Methodist church in behalf of the ne
gro of the South. Mr.. Ramsay was born in
South Carolina, educated in a Southern
school and since he was fifteen years old has
been working to maintain and establish the
rights of his colored brethren. He was
driven outof one part of Arkansas, where
he went to labor for the negro. and only es-
capped lynching by the earnest Intervention
Of some Of the older and more merciful men,
bers of the gang, that pursued and captured
him with the intention of putting him to
death. He was allowed to go free on the
condition that he would never return to the
locality again. b frg
In opening his address yesterday, Mr..
Ramsay said that his purpose was to assist
in giving light in regard to the condition OF
the Southern colored people. seek, said
he, to injure no one. The question is asked,
what shall be done with the negro? Per-
haps 1t could be better stated what shall the
negro allow the white men to do with him?
Americans should remember who are Amer
leans. Is there such thing after all rs the
brotherhood of man? Do we believe in a
God that is allwise, infinite, impartial? Do
we consider this government of the peo-
pie, for the people, and by the people? In
this day OF great national problems there is
no more unsettled question than the negro
problem. The war of the Rebellion settled
only one question that of chattel slavery.
The negro Of the South today is more poorly
housed, clothed and fed than he was under
slavery regime. Contracts which the col
ored people on the plantations are obliged to
make with the owners of the plantations for
whom they work prevent the plantation ne
gro from rising as fast as he would. The
merchants and the landowners make bar
gains and this bargain is always against the
interests Of the enegro. The colored man is
of citizenship in the old slave States is prac-
tically annulled. He must conform with the
views Of the men who uSurped every
branch of the government and who enforce
the laws however unjnst with the shot gun
and dagger. Is the negro taking advantage
white children In the South. 2,2l5,674 are in
school. There are 2,803, ,257 colored children
in the South and 1.7S4 400 are in school. The
decrease of eliteracy among the whites is
reckoned at 343 percent, and among the
are progressing fast in the South. At the
present rate of increase In 90 years from to-
day there will be III, 100000 negroes in this
country. The Africo-Americans must build
up the South, ,andithe question presents itself
shall they be educated and be given their
full rights? am always hopeful believe
good time is coming when right will tri-
