far below the actual returns.

soldier appauded to the echo the good
conduct of the colored soldiers
There was much applause at the con-
clusion of Gen. Wheeler's remarks Pres
ident Wright then introduced Secretary
of the Treasury Gage, who was also well
coined enthusiastically. Secretary Gage
said:
my home is in the North, beside the
great lakes of the Northwest We have
no colored problem there. There are
few colored people out there, but never
came in contact with the race much until
7 came 10 Washington to live. Forty per
cent. of the people in that city are colored.
7 have learned there to respect that part
Of the population. 1t is my privilege ev-
erv morning to walk down from my home
mast a colored school. Seeing those 400
children on their way to school L have
been delighted with the evidences they
present of thrift and that right kind of
nride and ambition which leads them to
desire to improve themselves and better
their lot in life 1 have learned to re-
spect the colored people by contact with
some of the best representatives OF your
race"
Secretary Gage then related two Incl
dents attesting the honesty, thrift and am
bition OF colored men he had become ac-
uuainted with.
IT have come South" he continued,
and I have seen in some large cities
what this race problem means. l have
seen the most ignorant, most vicious and
least enterprisng of the race swarminS
into the streets from the slums, and
have seen that there is reason and good
Ground for the white mans prejudice and
disfavor Of these people. But my
faith is sublime. My courage
has been stffened in the future of the
race. In Rome there stands the Pantheon.
