Negro Problem Discussed.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March 5.-There was a
welI-attended meeting last night at the
Calvary Baptist church on West Fifty
ninth street, TO discuss the negro prob
lem from q religious standpoint. The
meeting was under the supervision of
and had been called By the Rev. DR..
o. B. Strayer of Baltimore. DR.. Strsyer
is a Southern gentleman and fought with
the ConfederacT in the rebellion, but
since the war his life has been devoted TO
the amelioratiou OF the condition
of the negro. In the course Of
his remarks last night DIR. Strayer
said that Acknowledgement, de-
oortation and colonization were all
impracticeble, as we'll as unjust, and
that the way to solve the negro problem
was to give him all his rights, fit him to
be a citizen, save him from his friends
and save him from himself. Rev. DR..
Simmons said there was cause for sppre-
hension unless good schools were built in
which the colored people could Christian
lied as well as educated.
Gen. o. o. Howard and DR.. john
Hall also spoke in the same vein and the
Rev DR.. Dudley OF Nashville. said that
as fast as the negro could be fitted for
society the South would gladly make
room for him.
DIR. Macarthur followed with an appeal
for justice for the negro, and d. j.
Waldron OF Richmond, who said he was
a colored man, but whose skin was as
white as that of most of his hearers, ex-
pressed his qualification at the sentiments
expressed by the different speakers.

ENos TALES.

He WAS struck by the Prosperity of the
State of Texas on His Recent Trip.
eIecirI &c tire Gazette.
NEW YORK, March 6.-H. K. Enos
and party returned this morning from
their trip over the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas road. Mr.. Enos says: 1--WE found
the read in excellent condition. The re-
ceivers have spent money wisely. They
have got a good deal more to do yet. or
course, they might spend money rapidly,
but by putting II over the road for
couple Of years it will be great deal
better. They have expended their
appropriations for this year. What they
spent for 1889 and the appropriations for
1890 will amount to about So 100 600
They spent about 81 800 900. and the
orders OF the court to spend 81 900 900
now will absorb the earnings OF this
year. 1t Il Que OF the most popular roads
in the Southw est, If not the most popu-
lar. Everybody seems to be interested
in the successful REORGANIZATION of the
road. They take as much interest out
there as they do here. All Texas roads
are working in harmony. The demorali-
cation of rates North has not reached
Texas yet. The earnings for February
show an increase of over 500 900, prob
ally more, compared with last year.
The cattle trade is very large. The
movement 80 far is over 1000 ears ahead
of last year for January and February.
The road has improved SO in cOndi-
ton that shippers make better time
than over any other road to Kan
sas City and Chicago, where most
of the cattle go. The thing that struck
me most favorably as bearing on the
prosperity OF the road WAS he prosper
itV of the state of Texas. There is an
immigra ion going IN there rapidly,
made up from the Northern states.
Drawing q line from, say little south
of Dallas or near Waco, east and west,
it is as much of Northern state as any
state in the Northwest. Both Dallas
and Fort Worth are tiOurishing cities
aud rival each other for supremacy.
All business portions of the COM
munity are sensibly alive to a mora lib
eral legislative policy towards corpora
tons than has been shown IN the last
two or three years, and this demonstTa-
ton will no doubt be largely reflected in
the coming election this fall. l don t
believe there is any other portion
of the country that affords such favora-
bic Inducements for the investment of
capital as the state of Texas. Its re-
sources are almost ilIimltable, both in
agricultural and mineral products. 1t
