The Race Question.


In regard to thevGxed race question he
said:
81 believe the only question that
need disturb the country i'll the south is
the educational problem. Indeed, the
enc peril of our country is the presence at
the bottom of society anywhere of that
barbarism we call by the dictionary
name, iliteraCy,' which is nothing more
or less than n compound of ignorance,
superstition, shiftlessness, vulgarity and
vice. Our country can endure the strain
of great deal of barbarism i'll the lower
regions, but there is dead line here
which is almost reached by many por-
tiOns of the country. 1t is by no means
certain that the lower class barbarism of
the south is more dangerous to the coun-
try than the similar barbarism, especial
ly of our great northern cities. But un-
til this element in our civilization every
where is largely reduced by the working
together of all those agencies, public
and private, which are included in the
word education we need expect little
relief from any of the numerous politi-
cal or social medicines that are urged
upon the people.
"lt has been demonstrated to all fair
minded people that the negro, as race,
is capable OF the education that will
make him useful, peaceable, and gen
orally healthful citizen of the United
States. That is all the country is con
cerned with. What his future social
position will be, how far he can equal
the white race in any realm of industry,
culture, or general success, must be de-
termined by himself. There was never
SO grand an opening for a magnificent
demonstration of the missionary spirit
in the church in connection with the
highest patriotism rs i'll the present call
for great movement of the American
people to give to the 1000, 900 of colored
citizen that kind of training-r
industrial and mental--which shall de-
velop that habit of self-help, without
which not only American citizenship,
but freedom is, only name
The doctor believes that the foremost
minds and hearts of the south is being
deeply impressed with a sense not only
of its obligation, but of the grand oppor-
tunity of this work. In his opinion the
union of the three great denominations
of Christians now separated on sectional
lines, and their great work of uplifting
the illiterate masses that could be
wrought by the union of northern money
and southern zeal would more than all
things else to hasten this great consum-
nation.

Collector Erhardt Talks.

A reporter asked Collector Erhardt
Thursday what he would do should
some of the vessels come up late. He
said; mo application has yet been
made to me on this special subject. /
see no reason, however, why an exten-
sion of time should be granted. The
other occasion was when there was
general advance in duties and the ex-
tension of time on that day was of uni
versal moment This is special thing,
and | see no l&Ore reason for an extern
sion than if an advanced duty was to go
into effect upon olives. Besides which,
the secretary of the treasury directed the
extension on the occasion cited, and if
any extension is desired application
must be made to the same authority.
All entries presented up to o'clock on
the afternoon of June 30 will no doubt
be properly acted upon"

UNLIMITED COINAGE.
Western silver Men Wiu Be Satisfied with
Nothing Less.


WASHINGTON, June 13.-The meeting
of the frec-coinage silver committee,
which was to have been held in Wash
iagton on the 18th inst, will take place
on the same date at the Hoffman house,
New York, instead. They will meet at
10 O'clock in the morning and take up
the work of promotion of free coinage
where they left it al their last meeting
The proposition for a compromise on the
coinage of the products of American
mines is not regarded favorably by the
committee, and they say that they will
have nothing but free coinage i'll the full
est sense OF the term, and claim TO have
enough votes to carry it through the
next congress.
Senator Stewart Talks.
Senator Stewart said to Star reporter
that he was confident that free coin
age bill could be passed through the
next congress over the presidents veto.
OF course, he says, there can be no
doubt about two-thirds vote for free
coinage in the house, and in the senate
it has been shown that there is major
ity. The question is what the senate
w III w III Otlot VI a NNbO IL etll OilJ
Democrats in the senate will vote to
pass the bill over the presidents veto,
Mr.. Stewart says, there will be no
trouble about the matter The Repub-
ican votes in the senate, Mr.. Stewart
counts on as sure for free coinage are
Two from California one from Oregon,
two from Washington, two from Idaho,
two from Montana, two from Nevada,
two from Colorado, one from Wyoming,
two from South Dakota, one from North
Dakota, two from Kansas, two from
Nebraska, and one from Pennsylvania
Senators Cullom, Stockbridge and Davis,
he regards as doubtful. The votes
counted as sure would give free coinage
sixty votes if the Democrats voted
solidly for free coinage, as policy might
induce them to do. Fifty-nine votes are
enough to carry the bill over the veto.
The only senators on the Democratic
side whom MI. Stewart regards as
doubtful are Gray, Mcpherson and
Villas.

sHlP-LoADs OF TIN PLATE.
Several of Them on the Ocean and Other
Vessels Loading at British Ports.

New YORK, June ia number of
vessels are on the ocean bringing tin
plate to this country, while others are
still loading at British ports. 1t is pos
sible that some of these vessels may be
delayed ON the voyage and not reach
this port before June 30.
AS the advanced duties will begin on
July 1, it may be possible that the
custom house brokers will not be able
to make all their entries before the
hours set down for the closing of that
building on June 30.

ALBERT EDWARD.
His Game as the Duke or uichmond's
County seat some Years Aro.

II Is not generally known that the
Prince OF Wales breach of hospitality
i'm PLAYING baccarat In defiance OF the
express wishes of his host at Tranby
Croft was by no means his first offense
against the laws of hospitality and
also of good taste, says the New York
Record. He acted in very much the
same fashion some years ago at Good
wood. the county seat of the Duke OF
Richmond. Ever since his marriage
the Prince Of Wales has been In the
habit of visiting the Duke during the
annual Goodwood races. with the
Princess and large party OF royal
guests.
The Duke of Richmond. who Is now
an old man. Is very independent Of
mind and possesses great force OF char
actcr. His horror for gambling Is well
known, and when. few years ago, the
princes taste for baccarat became the
talk OF London, the Duke. on the occa-
sion OF the heir apparent's last visit,
told him OF his aversion 10 games OF
hazard, and exacted pledge from him
that under no circumstances should
baccarat be played during his stay
The Duke makes an invariable rule OF
retiring every night punctually at 10
o'clock. no matter who is present, and,
confiding in the promise OF the Prince,
although IL had been somewhat reluct-
antly given, the old peer went quietly
TO bed ut his usual time. On the third
day of the races, however, the Duke,
who had as usual hidden his royal
guests good night at 10 o'clock. had oc-
casion TO come downstairs again about
an hour later.
His horror and Indignation may be
better understood than described at
finding the whole royal party seated
around table in the library and play
ing baccarat for very high stakes, with
the Prince of Wales acting as banker.
SO great was the dukes wrath that he
openly protested 10 the prince against
the wayIn which his confidence had
been betrayed. the latter presenting
but sorry spectacle during this al
garade, for he could find no good ex-
cuse for his extraordinary behavior.
The card party was broken up in
great confusion, and IL was ncvet re-
sumed during that or any of the sub
sequent visits at Lockwood.
