CONGRESSIONAL.
TUESDAY, Jan. z.

Senate. - Sen. Morgan proceeded to
address the senate on the subject of
a bill heretofore introduced by Sen.
Butler to provide for the emigration
of persons of color from the Southern
states. He had reached the conclusion
that there was natural incongruity and
lrrepressible conflict between the races.
The return of the negro race to Africa was
the only solution of the problem
1t was undeniable that the aversion be-
tween the two races had greatly increased
since slavery was abolished and it would
increase so long as large portion of the
population was of African race. Exper-
lence would not permit the statement that
such a feeling of aversion existed only in
the south. 1t was not so intense in the
south as it was in the north 1t was not
so strong between the negro and his form
er master as it was between the negro and
those who never owned slave The sep
aratlOn of the races was the only thing
that would extinguish race aversions
In Africa the negro could grow
up to the full measure of his destiny.
Slavery Morgan said) would be abolished
IN central Africa. If the work was left to
the whites it would be a slow process: but
the American negro could accomplish it if
he dwelt among these people. In Summing
up his speech, Morgan pointed to the fact
that the negroes had no chance to rise in
this country Political influence would |
never lift the negro race in this country |
above its present level. On the contrary. |
the friction and collision caused by the ne |
groes' use of the ballot would create more !
envy against the negro race. He Morganl |
looked forward to the establishment of a |
free rpDu lIp1r tho I'D,,r,, /
region by the influence of America or |
American negroes, who would thus be re-
deemers and regenerators of this father |
land. A message came to the president in |
relation to the claim of the widow of John |

City Boys for the Farms.

Nr. Milton George, In giving to the llh-
nois Industrial Training School for Boys a
valuable 300-acre farm in the town Of
Bloom, to be used for the purposes of the
school, has pointed out in a very forcible
way the necessity which exists for instItu
tiOns of this sort near the large cities.
Those communities, as he says, draw to
themselves great numbers of the lnhabl-
tants Of the farming districts. They be-
come overcrowded Men fall in the crash
and children go to the bad for lack Of care.
Meanwhile the rural population is wasting
away because Of the streams flowing from
them to the cities Mr.. George would have
the friendless city boys educated and
taught the use of tools, particularly Of
farm implements. They would then be
fitted to till the soil inteliigently and to
supply in some measure the places OF the
farmers sons who have gone to the cities.
This work is great and necessary one.
Mr.. Georges magnificent gift which has
been supplemented by liberal subscriptions
from other charitable citizens, places the
industrial school in an excellent condition
to help the friendless children of the great
cities
Once taught the value Of labe- and given
an opportunity to acquire the necessary
skill, they will become useful citizens.
That institution which gives American
boys chance to make men of themselves
cuts down the number Of the occupants of
prisons and adds greatly to the wealth
and safety of the country
