..TRE RAcE QUESTION. ),

Congressman Breckenridge has an ad-
mIrable paper on "The Race Question +"
in the Arena for June, in which he dis
cusses the vexed question at some length
and in his own clear and forcibls style.
He starts out with the postulate laid
down by Paul in his celebrated grafton
on Mars Hill: 'And hath made of one
blood all nations for to dwell, etc. !"
But while the white man and the ne
gro are of Zone blood, ''and so
linked to each other in the
common brotherhood of men, it
by no means follows that both belong to
one and the same race. AS a matter of
fact they do not, and cannot, because of
the well known race distinctions and
prejudices inhering, which are the
strongest and most ineradicable of hui
man nature. Christianity can never al
ter this fact, or make the two races as
similable. It shall exercise benehcent
influences on both races, but after Its best
work is done, the one VIII be black and
the other white. 1t can't convert the
negro into white man, any more than
it can change the white man into negro.
The slave trader, and not the negro,
says Col. Breckenridge, is responsible for
the latter's presence in this country. He
was purchased with rum, sold as slave,
and is here to stay either for veal or
for woe. There is no way of getting rid
OF him. He is intensely, gregarlous, and
has none of the qualities of the colonist
or the pioneer. The idea of his return
to Africa is utopian and delusiye. Equal
~ so Is 1t that he can be induced to 20
elsewhere. Here he must stay, and the
great problem for the white man is
to SO adjust the relations between
the negro and himself, that none, or as
few as possible of the evils apprehende ed,
may be realized. Only by forbearance
and the clam use of reason and common
sense can this be done. The writer had
no patent nostrums for solving the prob
lem. He only asked that the matter be
iOAb " tuOs0 iuLSTSSLoO Dg II anu
fully acquainted with it in all its forms
and phases. Only they were competent
to deal with it.
In demanding this, he asked for
nothing more than for local self
government, the right of every
community to control its own
domestic affairs, unvexed and unhamp-
cred by needless and intrusive interfer-
ence from outside.
Colored votes in New York, Ohio and
Indiana elected President Harrison, yet
what has his party done for the negro in
requitaI2 What Northern state has or ever
had q negro representative IN congress?
If N orthern Republicans don It choose to
so honor the negro that Is their bust
ness, and no one has right to COM
plain. Southerners merely ask similar
right and equal freedom in regulating
their own political affairs.
This is a mere epitome. The article
should be read to be appreciated.

uttered the voice Of its vast army of ad-
herents in speaking out for prohibition.
Our people are intelligent. They read the
Bible. They read the needs of this
tricken, vicious world about
them. All the fne words of Brother

not swerve them from protecting their

He wrote an opera which he entitled,
'Cavalleria Rusticans" IN seven weeks
and gained prize-rather an astonish-

been performed four times, and critics
grade the new composer as one who is
destined to continue as an art heir of the
