northwest has proven failure, and came
to an abrupt end today, when the ssna-

reason assigned for this action Is that he
contracted severe cold while in Duluth,
making him so hoarse that further pub.

question. The fact Is, however that the
audiences which gathered to listen to
him at Milwaukee, Minneapolis, st. Paul

financial returns were insufficient to pay
expenses and Senator Hill refused 10
talk for nothing. He lectured last night
at Duluth and came to Minneapolis this

Lord Ro.ebcr,,. Purnore.

Although the rumor that Lord Rose
berry. the English prime minister. has
made up his mind to resign does not
come from an authentic source it appears
10 be quite generally believed. There are
several reasons for giving credit TO it.
1t is known that his health is not good.
The strain Of his position has brought
on insomnia and other ills. and there are
grounds FOR thinking that his only chance
for recovery is IN complete rest. II is also
asserted that his ambition is about sat
ished. In the beginning Of his career he
desired. among other things 10 nh the
office Of prime minister. lie has held the
office for a little more than a year. and
has not greatly distinguished himself.
While he may have the requisite ability.
il is a question whether me has the quail
tiles necessary to enable him to make
a great reputation i'm his present posi-
ton. The situation in England at the
present time would seem to require at
the head of the Liberal party a man
having opinions upon social questions
quite different from those believed to be
held by him. That party must be a pro-
gressive party or lose its hold upon the
people. and its progress must be in the
direction that would naturally be opposed
by a man of Lord Rosebery's class. The
aristocracy are in the enjoyment of many
privileges that are not regarded with
favor by the masses of the people. Lord
Rosebery is one OF those who enjoy these
that he viii be the leader of an attack
upon these privileges.
1t may be, therefore. that Lord Rose

The negroes who are waiting in this
city for the ship that is to carry them
to Liberia say the reason they are emil
grating is that they are Disseminated
against and that they cannot get their
rights nor the fruits of their labor in this
country. They therefore prefer to go to
a country where they believe they will
have greater privileges and not
be imposed upon in any respect. They
may be sincere in making such a state
ment as this If they are they display
lamentable inability to appreciate the
advantages they have, and to turn to ac-
count their opportunities to improve
their condition.
The things OF which they complain
grow out of their own faults. and are not
due to hostility of the people among
whom they live. There is nothing to
prevent them from accommodating proper
ty or Of rising to a higher moral and in
teHectual plane. What some of their
race have done towards lettering their
condition tens of thousand of others
can do. The white people are not putting
obstacles in the path Of their progress.
The blacks are responsible for whatever
obstacles they find. 1t is their misfortune
that they cannot see that this is so.
Some of them are beginning to compre-
bend it. The New York Age a negro
publication, in a recent issue, among
other things, said: 1--WE have got to stop
complaining about lack of opportunity
and make the most of such opportunity
as presents itself. and when no oppor-
tunity presents itself turn to and turn
up opportunity. We are opposed to the
eternal voice of complaint. which browns
the voice of such progress as we are
making on the one hand and blocks the
way of greater progress on the other. We
devote so much time and energy to the
work Of complaining and waiting for
somebody to do for us the
things we fshould do for our
selves that we have little left for any
thing else. We complain of having a
lot of grievances which only exist in our
own heads. We complain of lack of OPP
portunity to make money when we squan-
der millions every year on humbug. Dol
lars count, but we do not hold on to the
dollars. We have more opportunity and
advantage than we know what to dc
with. The fault is in ourselves and not
in others. Let us stop bowling and saw
