Tn. Negro Problem ia the sou,o.

To Boston audience, Monday night,
Ex-Gov. William ]. Northen of
Georgia made an address in fremont
Temple on 1.-THE White Mans View
of the Relations of the Negro in the
South"
After reviewing the history Of slavery
and the relations of the negro and
white man before and since the
emancipation Of the slaves, he referred
to recent outrages and lynchings in
Georgia. He said
"Do you ask me how these lynchings
can be stopped at the South? answer
promptly just as they can be stopped
at the North, and in no other way.
Stop the outrages and the lynchings
will cease. Continue the outrages and
the lynchings will always follow, re-
CARELESS of threats by the law, whether
in Georgia, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio
or other States.
lis it forgotten that the people of
Massachusetts themselves burned a
negro woman at the stake who had
been simply suspected and not con-
victed of poisoning a white man and
his wife? We can't tell what is going
to happen, even in the best regulated
families.
1.-THE negro problem at the South
will not be settled in day. Step by
step, as it marches into the future of
the nation, it must be met by the CON
ditions best suited to the detail of its
solution. 1t will never be settled by
abuse of the South, and the North had
as we'll understand that fact now rs
later. What is needed now is, at least,
liberation and n-interference, il the
South is to become responsible for re-
suits.
1.-THE relations between the races al
the South are in no sense alarming.
Under God we will work out the
problem in righteous settlement fol
both races If we are left alone.
There is truth and reason in thesr
remarks, and it cannot be doubted tina
the wild Vaporings of Northern dema
gogues do uncomfortable harm in in
citing the evil element of Southern
negroes to deeds of violence. The Soutl
by itself can no doubt best settle tn
negro problem within its borders

When a marauding and villainous
negro attempted to enter the bedroom
of Mrs. James Wood of Esom Hill,
Ga, whose husband was absent from
home, she took rife from her bed
side and put bullet through the in
truder's brain. Her husband had
instructed her in the use of firearms
in order to provide for just such an
emergency during his absence. A like
action on the part of other women
would soon suppress the foul crimes so
frequent in the South, and for which
lynching is the prevailing penalty, but
al women cannot educate themselves
TO this extent in the matter of pro-
lection and reprisal. 1t is pity they
cannot, however. as thereby they
would soon make themselves their own
protectors.

this even o greater SUCCESS.

A Baltimore man was remembered
in the will of deceased relative by
hequest of $1,000, but thought he
could get more and contested the will.
The instrument, however. contained a
provision that if any one attempted
to set it or any of its provisions aside
the legacy to such person should be for
feited and should 60 to the residuary
legatees. Thereupon residuary legatee
filed a petition asking the court to
declare his legacy forfeited, and the
court, after declaring the will valid,
did SO. So the contestant failed to
get large slice of the estate and
lost the 81, 900 that he could have OBJ
tanned without the expenditure of a
penny. Thus does greediness ofttimes
overreach itself.

The unseasonably cool weather
naturally causes apprehension as to
the future of growing crops. How
ever, crops frequently manage to sur
vive many visitations of unfavorable
weather, and may do so this year

The news from Honekong, where
Admiral Dewey now is, states that he

will be spared many years to enjoy the

Judge, the comic organ Of the Re-
publican party, wants Mckinley re.
nominated next year, with Admiral
Dewey for President. What a
ridiculous idea. Does Judge imagine
for an instant that the people of this
country will consent to fairly bury the
hero of Manila by electing him Vico-
President? Not much. Fortunately,
Admiral Dewey is above all political
nonsense, and would not be candi-
date for President even. But the Vice.
Presidency? No, meyer.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. S.-Marquis
Camille de Romano. left last night for
Washington. D. C. He was sent here
as an envoy extraordinary from the
italian embassy In Washington to In
yestgnte the lynching OF the ave Ital-
ians at Talluah. Marquis Romano goes
back with a lot of papers and state
ments. He took considerable evidence
as to the citizenship of the Ave men,and
according to his evidence, they were all
loyal subjects of King Humbert. When
he visited Governor Foster. however.
and found In the executive mansion the
court documents from Madison parish
showing when and where the three Di
Fatta brothers were naturallEed and
took the oath Of allegiance to the United
States the marquis was not so sure
about his evidence gathered in wlcks-
burg. The report Of the special envoy
and that of Governor Foster clash at
nearly every point. 1t was evidently
decided that the case was one for the
Washington authorities representing
the two governments to consider and
therefore the scene Of the contention
has been transferred from New Orleans
to Washington.

LAgRIER'S SPEECH.
United States Ambassador chOatc
Interviewed on the Subject.
SAYS THERE WILL Be NO WAR.
No Amount of Politics or Politicians
IN Either Country Could Bring
About Such a Dire Result-AsscFts
That Negotiations are Progressing.
But They are Naturally Slow.

LONDON, Aug. s-Joseph H. Choate,
the United States ambassador to Great
Britain. was interviewed to-day by a
representative OF the Associated Press
n regard to the recent war or arbl-
tratlon' speech delivered by SIR Wiz
frid Laurier. the Canadian premier. He
said:
There will be no war 1t is safe to
say that'no amount Of politics or poll
ticians in either country could occasion
war in this connection"
The ambassador, continuing. said that
the Canadian parliament was on the
eve Of dissolution and the leaders of
both parties had to speak. Mr.. choate
seemed to think that the latter circum-
stance explained Sir Wilfried Laurier's
position. and he was Inclined to attach
small Importance to the premier's re-
marks. Mr.. choate added that the ne
gotiatlons were progressing, but" he
explained, "they are always slow and l
can say nothing at present as to their
status"
