THE RACE QUESTION.
The Baptist Committee Preparing an AID.
dress to President Harrison

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 23.-Rev. NJ. w
Gilbert, colored, of this city, who was APP
pointed by the National Colored Baptist
convention in Indianapolis spokesman of a
special committee to prepare and present
to President Harrison an address in regard
to the treatment of the colored race in the
south, will go to Washington the
latter end of this week and meet
the committee. The address has
not yet been completed. but as
Mr.. Gilbert has the reputation of being a
conservative man, 1T is presumed the ques-
tlon OF the treatment OF the negro Will be
treated from a conservative standpoint.
Mr.. Gilbert holds that the race problem
must be solved upon the principles of
peace, righteousness and Justice" He de-
MES that education can or will solve the
question, on the ground that education
may promote peace but never originates it..
}. Z. Napier of this city, son-in law OF
Hon, John NJ, LangSton of Virginian, and
one OF the leaders of the coiored race in
this section, made an address last night,
in which he referred to the race problem
as follows:
Many schemes of colonization, emigra-
tlon ana even determination are proposed
for the settlement of this question, but
they are all certain to come to naught as
projected. There is only one way to settle
this race problem, and that is by the gol-
den rule There is only one place to settle
it, and that is right here in the land where
"a just and all-wise God has placed us.
This country belongs to whon1soever God
placed upon it. and just 50 far as the black
man makes himself good and worthy
christian citizen, 1t belongs to him as
much as to the white man. The negro
asks no more for himself than he is willing
to grant to others. Where his vir-
tue, his worth and his lnteli-
gence entitle him to promotion and dis
junction under the laws of this land, he
demands that it be given him without re-
gard 30 his color. Whenever there ceases
to be Determinations in the execution of
our country against the negro, then the
race problem will be solved and settled.
No man or class of men will do more or
make greater sacrifices to bring about a
peaceful solution of this problem than
will the negro. When it is solved he will
render as many thanks to God as we now
render him in praise for the proclamation
that sounded the first bugle blast OF our
freedom -

TRYING TO RECOVER HER CHILD.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 23-Application
was made to the supreme court today. by
Mrs. John Slusser, for writ of mandamus
to compel her husband to give her poses
sion of their son, William L. Slusser.
Mrs. Slusser is resident of Los Angeles, a
handsome woman about 35 years of age.
and is possessed of considerable means.
She claims that her husband is dissolute
man and a gambler. and that they separat-
ed about two months ago. after she had
refused longer to live with him
and support him out of her own
private means. Mrs. Slusser started for
Florida recently to spend the winter,
stopping few days with her sister. Mrs.
NJ. L. Luddington, of Pleasant Hill, Mo.
On Saturday last Slusser. the husband,
who he'd been stopping in Kansas City,
encountered Mrs. Luddington, the aunt,
and his son, upon the train out of Kansas
City, took forcible possession of the boy
and brought him to Topeka. Mrs. Lud-
dington and Mrs. Slusser arrived here yes
terday to take legal steps to recover the
child. Upon the issuance of the writ the
boy was placed in charge of a deputy
sheriff, who is keeping him at the hotel
where the lads mother and aunt are stop
ping. The father charges that the mother
is not fit person to bring the child up as
1t should he. The case comes up for hear
ing November 5.

THAT PARTIAL LIST.

The Era kindly consents to give
its readers ga partial list of resump-
ton Of works and increase of wages
Of employees" since Harrison took
his seat, and in nearly every case it
shows that it was accomplished after
a stubborn fight by the men against
a reduction Of wages, and this was
only accomplished after years,
months and weeks Of idleness as the
Era admits. 1t is not our intention
or desire to rob our brethren of any
of the glory of Protection to Amer
lean labor by the broad shield of
American law, but we defy it or any
of its highly-valued co-laborers to
point out to us wherein protection
has been the cause of the resumption
of wages or the increase Of wages in
its own. selection of a partial list.
The argument used by the Repub-
licans during the campaign was that
protection was for the sole benefit
of the American laborer that pro-
lection would afford him good wages
and plenty of work. In fact he was
told that protection would insure
him an incaease in wages. What
are the facts in the case Shortly
after the election Of Harrison works
begin to shut down, others to re-
duce the wages of their men, and as
the men would not accept the re-
duction the works were closed down.
Several attempts by the operators to
resume work at the reduction failed.
The surplus on hand was gradually
consumed at an advance price to the
manufacturer. This necessarily
caused demand for his product and
he resumes operation at the old
price. Does the Era mean to tell
us that protection is the cause of
such work ? Is this the way the
Era increases the laboringmen's
wages by protection Ofcourse we
would not arrogate to ourselves SUI
periority of the Era's plan of in
creasing the laboringmen's wages,
but it is so much like the Irishman
cutting of. the top of his blanket and
sewing it on the bottom, to make
the blanket longer, that we cannot
accept it as the right road to pros
perity and high wages.
We would add, however, brethren,
that Newburg and Irondale are still
awaiting resumption at the old
wages.

FOLLOWING DEMOCRACY.

We notice by our exchanges that
DIR. 7. +. Lanham, of Newburg, has
purchased property at Briertown,
Marion county, and contemplates
locating there in the near future.
Briertown is the most important
town on the new railroad from Fair
mont to Clarksburg. 1t is the
center of the coke and mining re-
gion. They are already building
some five hundred coke ovens there.
1t is little singular that our high
protective-tariff- Golf friend, DR..
Lanham, should follow Democratic
enterprise. The Monongahela Riv-
er railroad is being built by such
sterling Democrats as Senator Cam
den, Cod. Thomson and Judge A.
b. Fleming. Also the opening of
coal mines and the building of coke
ovens is the work of these men.
Now DR.. Lanham was one of the
many Republicans in this county
who preached the doctrine that
Democratic success meant ruination
of this country, and that the Demo
cratic party was in league with
England that the success of Har-
rison, Golf and Protection meant
prosperity and plenty. Harrison
and Protection were successful, but
we have no record of Harrison, Golf
and Protection doing anything for
the betterment of West Virginia.
On the other hand we find Doctor
Lanham seizes the first opportunity
to embrace Democratic enterprise.
He is willing to desert the Banner
Republican county of West Virgin
ia, which, according to Republican
doctrine should flourish above all
other counties in the State, on &C
count Of her immense Republican
majority, but instead has fallen
lower and lower since the election of
Harrison, until DIR. Lanham is COM
PEELED to desert her and flee to the
arms of Democracy Well, we never
thought this, we supposed DR.. Ian
ham would grin and bear it like the
Journal and Era.
The ARGUS wishes DIR. Lanham
success, and it is glad to know that
he bears testimony to his own false
doctrine, but itwould warn Brother
Ohley, of the index, to keep one eye
on the Prestonian Protectionist, for
he is welded to his idols and will
be preaching the same false doctrine
in the next campaign to the horny
handed sons of toll of Marion
county.

HOME AND FOREIGN MARKETS,

The N. Y. Export Timber Co.,
represented here by Mr.. Clements
and Mr.. Maddox, has bought the
out put of the mills of Shaffer, Brown
& Co., Smoot & Reppert, A. w.
Albright, and indeed of nearly all
the other mills in this section. Al
most all the lumber they buy here
is exported to Liverpool. They
ship it by rail to Baltimore, thence
by steamer across the ocean. Jour
nal.
The above does not speak very
well for for our "home markets"
which the Journal has always been
the avowed champion of. We were
told that all thatwas necessary for the
prosperity of this country was high
protective tariff and our home mar
kets. Our Republican friends boot
ed at the idea of such thing as the
markets Of the world. Gen. Golf
would ask, "Where are the markets
of the world ?'' and the small boy
would take it up and declare there
was no such markets in existence
and all they wanted was the home
markets, and everything would
boom. This campaign rot was
to catch votes. Campaigns come
and campaigns go, but we are always
seeking the best markets, whether
they be home or foreign markets.
The Journal has furnished us an
excellent illustration Of the fact of
home and foreign markets, If it was
done unwittingly. Our lumbermen,
the JourHal tells us, have sold all
their lumber to the New York Ex-
port Timber Co., and further, that
this company ships the lumber to
Liverpool, England Is England
a home or a foreign market, dear
Journal? OF course you will admit
that it is a foreign market. Why,
then, did they prefer the foreign
market to the home market? The
answer is simple. In recent issue
Of the Journal it spoke Of poplar
lumber having fallen some four dol
lara on the thousand, but that oak
lumber still keeps up to the standard
price. Now when we tell our read
ers that poplar lumber is sold in the
home markets, while the oak lumber
is sold in the foreign markets, they
can readily understand why our
lumbermenprefer the latter markets
TO the former.
This is only an illustration Of the
Journals false theory Of high pro-
tectivc tariff and home markets be-

PRESIDENT Harrison fears bodily
harm from the old veterans who are
incensed at the removal of Corporal
Tanner, and has two detectives to
accompany him wherever he goes.
This is a serious reflection upon the
manhood and patriotism of the old
veterans, and wholly uncalled for.
When the old veterans want to
"remove" comrade Harrison they
will do it with ballots not with
bullets. He can rest assured of that
fact and continue his romping with

enjoying that era of prosperity which
was promised under Harrison and

ness of the furnace, coal mines and

explanation, but as a guarantee of
their faith in Harrison and Protec-

IT was Benjamin Harrison who
said in the United States Senate,
March 20, 1886 /:
do lift up hearty prayer that
we may never have a president who
will not either pursue, and compel
his Cabinet advisers to pursue, the
civil service policy pure and simple
and upon just basis, allowing men
accused to be heard, and deciding
against them only upon competent
proof and fairly-either have that
kind of civil service, or, for God s
sake, let us have that frank and
bold, if brutal, method of turning
men and women out simply for
political opinion. Let us have one
or the other.
1t would seem that Ben Harrison
prefers the "brutal method of turn
ing men and women out simply
for political opinions, and does it
without a "hearty prayer" Ben
Harrison has proven himself a thor
Ough going demagogue.
