The speaker argued that with the
proper advantages the negro can be edu-
Gated and prepared to enter positions of
trust and honor. He said that he had

were reckless, improvident, illiterate

that three-fourths of the negroes wero

negroes and is opposed to social equal

He closed with beautiful imaginary
picture in which he likened the
twentieth century to a great organ. AS
the Goddess or Liberty touched the great
bank of keys, the first representing
England, the clear sweet notes OF Brit
ons Never Were Slaves" pealed forth.
Then running through the several ma
lions OF the earth with one mighty
stroke of her hand the stops are thrown
open and In grand elimination of har-
monies the mighty organ peals forth
to Its utmost capacity My Country, tits

Several white people were present,

Jas. a. Pugh, president of the Virginia

Ireland.
DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-[Speciall The Elk
press independent conservative COM
menting upon yesterdays explosion at
Dublin Castle, admits that it is limos
sible TO attribute political motives to
the affair. Not long ago, the Express
says, an explosion would have been a
good investment and would have
brought dollars from America, but since
that time, that style of political war
fare has ceased to pay. Persons who
were formerly engaged in dynamite
politics, nave of recent years found
their occupation gone.
The National Press, organ of Nc
Carthyltes, says il does not think explo-
sion can be attri buted to an accident. 1t
was undoubtedly disgraceful and
cowardly act of some blackguard for
which it would be unjust to hold the
Irish people responsible
There is no doubt, the paper say 8. that
the Tories will try to make political
capital outof the explosion. They would
be very willing to sacrifice a few panes
of glass from the castle windows for the
sake of being furnished with an argu-
ment against granting home rule to Ire
land.
LONDON, Jan. /. = Special : The
Globe. which for more than sixty wears
supported the Liberal party, out which
since 1866 has been staunch Conserya-
tive organ, to day says that the explo-
sion yesterday at Dublin Castle was un-
doubtedly of malicious origin.
Possibly Ford, Sullivan & Co. deem it
necessary to stimulate the generosity of
the American-Irish in behalf of the
cause. There are men in the United
States, the Globe declares, who would
not think twice of blowing up Dublin
Castle if that appeared to be the most
likely means of filling their pockets
with dollars.
The Globe adds that tho authorities
should take all these facts into consid-
GRAFTON, and should not be in hurry to
attribute the outrage to lunatic There
are many professional dyn ,miters in the
United states. IL says. who would lump
at the chance OF II cralive lob.
The ST. James Gazette. which Is an
independent supporter OF tho Conserva-
tive party, also has an article this even
ing on the Dublin explosion. 1t saws
that although there l. no doubt that
O'Donovan Rosa will assume the credit
of instigating the eX )losion, it seems
ualikelv that the affair was the result
OF political plot.

According TO the views of her tribe, she

such occasions the party who had caused
the tribe over which her royal master ruled

or some other special and general mlsfor-
tune. According TO the religious belief OF
her captOrs. every disease which befalls
man or beast and every unusual phenom-
enon of nature is directly attributable to
some one member OF that tribe, and there Is
no doubt therefore that Aka's black con-

poor creatures than NJ. de Paris during the

Aka dispensed the justice Of the Nasal
