A SENSIBLE VIEW.

] Perhaps no man in the country is just now receiving greater amount of favorable notice from the press than is Booker T. Washington, the distinguish ed colored educator. The following from the Baltimore News is a sample of what is being said Of him:
 ".If there were more negro men like Booker T. Washington, the race prob lem" would be a simpler one. Not wilhaanding the hysterical talk which is just now heard ii SC many quarters on the negro question, Professor Wash ington discusses the present condition Of the race in an even tempered way which must add to the respect which the white people Of both the north and south entertain for him. He refuses to talk at this time about the riots in North and South Carolina, because he does not see tha: any good can come Of the discussion, but in an address delivered at Brooklyn Thursday night. ne really put his finger cn the sore point The judicial, sensible and man ly words Of the negro professor would put to shame those Of his own and of tne white race whose real purpose seems to aggravate rather than allay trouble. lie said:
 '' It must be apparent at this tine that the effort to put the rank and fife Of the colored people into a position to exercise the right of franchise has not been success in those poItic1s of our oT1 c2IItty wher4 the aoGrl ia tcuu6 in la. n,lrblT4.

Tn ei.her case the result has been the sane. h my mind there is 10 doubt that we made the mistake at the beginning of cur freedom Of putting the emphasis on the wrong end.

sent a big railroad in a suit brought by

question before the court was one of
