the faces concealed behind masks.

noanger. pushed back the door.
Ase did so the leader and one con-

1in Opinion About the Negro Question.
New York Herald.

The Rev. John F. Crowell, D. D.,
President of Trinity College, North Caro-
lima. says:-I am not in favor of negro
colonization as a means OF settling the
cor fiicts centering around the race prob
lem in the South.
- | believe it to be economically i'm
practicable.
SO 1t would be disastrous disregard
of historical obligations to enforce colon
ization. Governmental encouragement of
voluntary colonization would be very lit
tie better.
50. There are serious constitutional
objections to either course. The negro is
not an Indian. His status is vastly differ
ent, and that requires recognition if the
nation means to keep its faith with the
negro.
- Nowhere will the negro be more
efficient than in the places where his own
econ mic advantages will lead him to.
Something is to be gained by the negro 8
learning independence of the government 8
apron strings. This industrial depression
of the negro race, now going on rapidly,
will disintegrate the political soidity
which still keeps the white South on the
| defensive for the sake of its civil institu-
| tions There are not the slightest ele-
ments of general race war in the South
| for which colonization is needed as rem
| edy or prevention. There Is no sociel war,
there Is only discomfort, which is the best
sign of progress toward a better state
| And that discomfort is largely industrial,
only Incidentally political.
'5. The negro has a superior endow-
ment of physical energy. That has its
value in the labor market of the South.
| There is no substitute to equal him in
mining. in railway building and in iron
| manufacturing except one-that is, the
| Chinaman This is the testimony of sew
eral contractors whom | have personally
interviewed We would rather keep the
negro than to call in the Chinaman to dc
| our work k-than to call in the Old World
to redress the wrongs Of the New.

in 1880 81; that the credit of her noble
deeds had been ascribed to others; that
the citizenship of her heroes had been
claimed by other States, and that the
truth in regard to these stirring events,
had, either Intentionally or by gross neg
ligence, been greatly and wrongtully per
verted to the injury of her good name" ;"
Seeing this misrepresentation of the he
roes of 1890 81 ,and feeling it deeply, as
patriotic son of North Carolina, JUDGE
SCHENCK determined to write defence of
his native State, and in yindicatiOn of the
honor and patriotism of her people. He
has, after months of patient and thorough
investigation. completed the work and
sent it out to the public. The people of
the State, the CHRONICLE is sure, will not
be slow to show their appreciation OF this
labor of love. The book was not written
20 make money, but to pat the authors
mother State in its proper light before the
world. The opinion of all who have seen
the book is that it is a mastery defence
of the State and an overwhelming reply to
those who have maligned us. Such de
fence was needed and it is gratifying to
all patriotic North Carolinians that JUDGE
SCHENCx sconfessedly one of the brainiest
men and one of the most profound jurists
in the State} undertook the self-imposed
task This work adds to his great repu-
tation We were particularly struck with
his well-known power as prosecuting
officer in this book. He prosecutes wrong
dOers ia history as unrelentlessly to con-
viction as he ever did IN the courts. The
style is direct, plain and is without at
tempt at any literary performance. But,
it is clear, strong, vigorous and interest
ing, and will interest the reader from be-
ginning to end. Long may the name of
JUDGE SCHENC6 be rtvered for his book
| which truly marks a New Era IN historical
| study aud Investigation in the State
The CHRONICLE is not big nough for Us
| to attempt a review of the book, or give
| the points made by JUDGE SCHENCK. We
| advise all our readers 10 procure copy
which will be sent prepaid to any address
