COyFERENCE or NEGROES.
A Lengthy Statement in Behalf of the
AmeIioration of the Blacks.

TUSKEGEE, ALA, Feb. H.-The Sc
cond annual negro conference held here
to-day proved most successful in attend
ance. Somewhere near one thousand ne
groes were present, being several hun
bred more than could gain admttance
to the hall. The declarations adopted by
the conference were as follows:
The interest awakened by the con-
ference of last year and the practical
results accomplished by II lead us 10
believe In the wisdom of an annual gath
ering of the masses of the colored peo-
pie. who shall give 10 the public their
own views as TO the condition Of the
race, suggesting methods OF Improvement
and remedies for existing evils. As the
outcome OF our second annual confer
ence we make the following declarations
LIST. In our review OF the past year
we believe that progress has been made
with reference to the vital points put
forth by the last conference, especially
In the effort TO supplant the mortgage
system by the cash system in the pur-
chase OF property; the supplementing
OF the school funds by private subscrip-
ton and the building of better school
houses; the greater care in the choice
OF teachers and preachers; the more
considerable treatment of women; the
making OF religion matter of daily liv-
Ing and the loosening Of the cords Of
sectarian prejudice.
2. While we realize how much has been
done for our race. we are yet appalled, by
the vastness Of the numbers who are still
practically untouched by any inspiring or
uplifting influence
3. The unfortunate condition OF the peo-
pie manifests itself in the utter poverty
OF their surroundings; their homes are
often mere novels, with a single room;
their living is coarse and scant: the soul
%
accumulated debts; implanted crops are
mortgaged; the school runs for three and
a half months; suitable school-house IS
the exception. and the teacher, as rule.
II poorly fitted for his work what has
been said OF the school-house and the
teacher, may as truly be said OF the
church and the preacher. Under these
Depressing circumstances immortality

form ef intsmperance. gambling and loose
bnhltp generally.

Of things, we would reafIirm the nine sug-
gcstions in the declaration OF last year.
In addition, we would most earnestly urge
the doing away with the one room cabin.
and call no place home that has not at least
two rooms In it. We discourage the in
discriminate use Of excursions. We urge
the divcrsifying Of crcrs, with the raising
Of our own meat and poultry. We advise
our women TO avoid ioafing about the
streets and other public places. We would
discourage the habit OF wasting SATURDAY.
We dcplore the tendency TO leave the
country to find home In the cities. We
advise greater care OF our girls and boys
and an earnest effort to find employment
for them at home. We would urge the
laying aside Of all minor issues and the
concentration Of our energies upon the
securing OF property. that we may te-
come taxpayers; uron the getting Of an
education, that we may inteligently ex-
ercise the rights Of citizenship. and upon
the acquiring OF correct moral habits, that
we may be able 10 establish "A character
among our neighbors that shall be above
suspicion and compel respect
5. That we are convinced that our stand
Ing among men is 10 be of our own max
ing. and that we shall. best aic in the
establishment of n correct standard or
living by drawing n sharp line between
virtue and vice. and in visiting upon all
wrong doors the full weight Of a right
public sentiment.
6. We believe that II the railroads Of
the South will treat their cOlored patrons
with fairness that the increased travel
on the part Of the colored PEOPLE win
add largely 10 their revenues
T. We believe that the many acts Of law
lessness and the increased frequency II
iynchings are not only injurious to the
cause Of good morals, but that they
greatly retard prosperity Of the South by
keeping out capital and checking immi-
grafton. We would express cur grra: ap-
probation Of the message Of Governor
Johnson on this subject
3. We renew our gratitude 70 orr
friends who have so long and so generally
aided us by their sympathy and their
means. We cannot forbear special men
ton Of General S. G. Armstrong. whose
life God has so graciOusly spared, and
who is permitted TO be with ds to-day;
we ask their continued patience and in
terest, reminding them that great ard
long continued wrongs cannot be rignte d
at once. nor without large outlay OF
consecrated service and Of treasure
9. That we express our love OF the
country and our desire to fit ourselves
for the best and most helpful citizenship
and that we may become able TO share In
all the burdens. as well as the privileges.
Of good government We regard the
South as our home, and We urge all TO
avail themselves Of the opportunity now
afforded TO buy land and other property
at exceptionally low rates and share
with those around us I'm the development
of the country and in the increasing
value Of our property
TO- In all our journey thus far we recog-
niZe the good hand Of God; we most ear
nest'y ask his blessings upon the declara-
ton we have this day put forth, and We
trust that through his help they may
result in our own and the common good.
