Singers and the Mozart Society of
Fisk University. Mr.. Anderson's
address is described BY the Nash
vile Daily American as can epoch
making speech, and is published
in full In that journal In Its issue
of June 9th. For q speech made
without any preparation, delivered
without 9 single note, it will rank
with some of the ablest efforts of
the great orators of the present day.
Mr.. Anderson is unquestionably q
thinker and an orator of transcend

uounced. to be SURE, in Nashville
than In the other places named, be-
cause there are good and substan-
tial reasons for its existence, chief
among which is the fact that some
of the lower class of blacks are
bumptious, overbearing, odorifer-
Gus and greasy in public places and
in public; carriers they are bois.
ferrous and sometimes insulting, and
are always looking for trouble.
They realize that they are free citi-
Gems, but forget TO comport them
selves with that decency and deco
rum which becomes all citizens. 1
did good deal Of street car riding
when in Nashville, as my lodgings
were quite three miles from the ex-
position. In going to and from
the grounds / saw things which did
not altogether please me. Hall
grown negro boys would stop the
crowded street car, stand on the
platform smoking vile pipes or
cigarettes, their coats of and under
their arms, their clothing filthy
dirty and their language CORE
spondingly dirty. When they had
finished their smoke they would
, make a break for the first vacant
seats in the car. If there was a
space between a well dressed colored
passenger they would plump them
selves into it with all their dirt and
disgusting odors, and they would
crowd white passengers In the same
way, entirely Indifferent to the fact
they were offensive to sight and
smell. Among this class of negroes
everywhere there is q decided alb
lsence of self-respect and pride, and
tit is this class that makes Jordan
hard road for the average respect
able negro to travel, and whose dis
graceful conduct in public places
intensifies the prejudice against the
race. The same class of negroes
in any Northern city would produce
the same effect on public sentiment.
There is absolutely no use kicking
about Southern prejudice to ne
groes as long as those who know
better, who are more refined, who
have had larger opportunities for
self cultivation, are doing nothing
to lift up this mass of black and
lyellow ignorance and depravity
which is largely in the majority IN
that section. This element is the
life of the so-called better element,
the culpable classes who are the
benefciaries of all this Ignorance

opENING or THE NEGRO
BUILDING.

NsaRo DAY which eventuated on
June 9Th, was the biggest day Nash
vile has seen since the exposition
BEGAN. The procession which took
place Ia the morning was . mag
nifcent pageant three miles in
length and numbered more than
10000 souls. Before 10 O'Clock
IN the day, one of the gAte-keepers
informed me that 1900 persons
had passed through the gates.
Every private family, every BUSH
ness house and the proprietors of
every kind of industry employing
negro labor gave their employees q
holiday and "Mr. Brown" and his
wife and sweetheart owned the city
and the exposition ground for one
day at least. It was q well dressed
and well ordered crowd of jolly good
natured people of all sizes, colors
and conditions. Every street lead
ing to the exposition ground was
packed with sight-seers OF both
races who cheered the procession
all along the line. The Colored
American representative was hon
ored with q seat in the carriage of
Chief Hill, and assisted that repre-.
sentative of the common people
IN reviewing the procession as Il
passed on Its way to the exposition
ground; this occupied two hours
and fifty-fve minutes, and was
rather q tiresome though pleasing
JOB. It appeared as though all the
colored people in Tennessee and
several adjoining States were out
and doubling up on us. But We
learned on reaching the grounds al
about 2:SO p. m, that not more thar
half of the parade had passed the
reviewing stand. The people wert
eager to get to the negro building
We found that building packed from
top TO bottom, and the big dining
room on the first floor was living
mass of hungry and thirsty hu
manity.

One thing is certain, the white
man of the South is not goiI.g out
of his way to elevate the negro;
he has troubles of his own. And
he has absolutely no respect for ne
groes' who have no respect for them
selves or their kind. / noticed a
tendency among the better element
to withdraw itself from the great
mass of the race; it is a dangerous
tendency and can only result dis
astrously to the whole mass. The
clergy and the educators of the
race are to be blamed for what ap-
pears to be their studied apathy and
Indifference to the well being of
this crest mass of living souls who
are left to themselves to founder
In ignorance and vice while their
superiors In morals and intellect
are luxuriating in their comfort
able homes, forgetful of the fact
that they are standing upon the
very brink of a volcano which will
some day belch forth and destroy
the whole mass. 1t is idle folly for
negroes North or South whom
chance or fortune has elevated
above the mass toimagine that they
can be world by themselves and
disdain a division. They viii all
be counted with the despised and
vicious and criminal element among
us, no matter what their wealth,
social standing or intellectual at
tainments may be, and the higher
they ascend the more culpable viii
they be regarded if they fail to ifi
up this ignorant criminal mass Of
black humanity.

A speech like that is boa nd to
do good. Itopened the eyes Of the
Southern white men who heard it
and gave them better opinion of
the capabilities of the negro race.
Mayor Thomas in a burst of elo-
qnence declared that he was sorry
that every white man in Tennessee
had not been privileged to hear
that speech, and that If the colored
people Of the State would follow
the advice it contained, their con-
difion IN the next five years would
be greatly improved. He told his
hearers that the Nashville EXPOSE
ton was as much the colored mans
affair e It was the white mans,
thai they were all welcome to enjoy
themselves and the freedom Of the
exposition grounds, etc.

That is a terrible ITaignment of the
British government Which Julian Haw-
thorne makes in his pen pictures of the
famine in India and contributed to the
Cosmcpolitan. He has convinced him
self that not less th1 n eight millions of
people had already tied OF the famine
up to the time hisI investigation was
made in the spring # the present year,
and that there is reason enough to fear
that there win be bit less than twen-
ty million deaths III the aggregate, as
the immediate or less direct conse-
| ouenee of the want bf food throughout
a great part of Indit.
One Of the THINGS that Mr., Haw-
fhorne makes clea} is the fact that
people are starving in India through
lack of ability to purchase, and not
from the actual non existence of food.
There are native mel chants everywhere
with wheat to sell but the masses
! have no money wifi which to buy. To
provide them with honey, the English
government IN india maintains relief
works, which med ns quarrying and
breaking stone for the roads. Several
millions are engaged in this occupation
fand in return they obtain 3 or 4 cents
/ a day as wages. With this A cents for
4 a days wage, the unfortunate native
goes on his way nd buys wheat at
/ famine prices. a mans life may be
barely saved this Why. and perhaps the
lives Of millions ard saved by this sys-
TEN of relief" butIit falls far short Of
meeting the situation.
Mr.. Hawthorne describes the famine
area as nearly halfsthat of the United
States. Means of Transportation are
very inadequate 4 nd the climate is
deadly.
Millions, lfterall5, of the people
starye to death Without the govern
ment having any f1nowledge thereof.
! In tie last famine {ST7-TS) this was SO
much the case thai Lord Lytton, then
! yiceroy, was able b declare in pub
lie address that nod more than three or
four persons in an India had starved
for lack of food. Vile at the very mo-
ment he spoke, as Mas afterWaTd over

the number of deaths due to lack Of
food was between ssiX and seven mil

are always many deaths which are

TIE coM1Ne ELECTION


The Democratic city committee met
last evening and fixed the date for
holding the city convention to nominate
candidates for the municipal election in
Ncven,ber. This does not look very
much like the party has been taken in
by the non-partisan movement The
eaH is made broad enough to include all
those who supported the Democratic
ticket last fall Every man and woman
Who is willing to support q ticket Of
good. honest capable men for municipal
office on the Democratic ticket should
take an interest'in making that ticket.
As much care should be taken in Sc
lecting the delegates to the ward and
city conventions as in the selection of
candidates for city Office. Send only
the best and most capable men and VIC
men to the conventions, and there viii
be little question about the candidates
being all right. Remember that 1t has
been charged that the Democratic party
is incapable OF selecting good ticket
for the city election, Let it disprove
that by doing it's full duty, and choos-
ing candidates who are above reproach
When the time comes for holding the
t primaries. every voter who intends to
support the Democratic ticket should
! be on hand to take part in the selection
Of delegates. Don't imagine that the
matter will be attended to, whether
you are there or not, and that it viii be
all right The way to have things al
right is to go to the primary and take
part in the proceedings, and from start
to finish insist that no person shall be
chosen as q. candidate for any office
who is not In every way well qualified

Two papers were read before the
members of the scientists convention
at Detroit which may well carry terror
to the inhabitants of the lake cities,
especially Detroit and Chicago. The
first was by Professor Gilbert and the
second by DR.. j. w. Spencer of Wash
ington. The latter asserted that in
course of time Detroit would be over
taken by a fate that was later in store
for Chicago. and that both would be
drowned out by the encroaching waters
of the lakes, which have made alarm
