THE soUTBERN PR0BLEM.

II record my confident belief" said
the Rev. DR.. Conrad, that today the
colored people of the south are treated
with more consideration than they
would be at the hands of the people
Of the north, provided they held the
same ratio of population here as
there" The speaker was careful to
remark that this is wholly apart from
the question of lynching and mob
violence, but even then it seems a rath-
err broad statement The pastor of the
Old South Church has but just re-
turned from his recent oratorical sue
cess In Atlanta, and like other men Of
liberal sympathies, he has been i'm
pressed with the fact that certain
manifestations of race prejudice to be
found in the north are not to be OBJ
served in the south.
1t has been said, for example, that so
long as the negro is Industrious and
peaceable and obeys the laws. his lot
is more fortunate in the south than in
the north. Among other things, he
can find employment more easily, and
within recognized bounds his as $50
citation with whites is more natural.
The north is not free from reproach
in this matter. Paul Lawrence Dun
bar bears testimony to the fact that
even colored men of education and lit
erary accomplishments are not accord
ed the same frankness Of recognition
in the northern states as in England
and on the continent of Europe As DR..
Conrad suggests, the preponderance of
population has an important bearing
upon the race problem as between the
two sections of this country but there
is another consideration which would
seem to demand that his rather sweep
ing assertion be received with some
reservation.
The people of the north have not
been subjected to two centuries of the
moral corruption of slavery. Respect
for the law and human rights and the
valuation of human life have never
/ fallen so low in the north as in the
south 1t is the tritest Of truisms to
say that since the war the south has
been reaping the fruits of slavery,
and that time is needed for the moral
education of the whites as well as of
the blacks. Some portion of the con-
tamination of slavery necessarily ex-
tended to the north, but 1t never be-
came virulent here. It may be ad-
mitted that any people subjected to
the Generalization of slavery as long
as the south has been. would have the
same feelings as the south toward the
blacks; but that is quite different
from saying that if the blacks could
be transported and settled among a
people that has never suffered like
decentralization. they would be treated
with less consideration than they are
at the south.

Here is the democratic Boston Globe
urging the republican congressman of
New England to unite upon Mr.. Moody
of Haverhill as their candidate for the
speakership. A series of interviews
shows that Mr. Moody is held in high
esteem among his Yankee colleagues.
but there is a general indisposition to
commit themselves, and some are not
enthusiastic on the subject of New
England combination. Cy Sulloway of
New Hampshire distinctly disapproves
of the "favorite SON business as mere
ly step to a bargain for positions on
committees; Boutelle of Maine says it
is too early to talk, and Powers Of Yer
mont thinks there is no hope for New
England man anyhow. Some of tho
Massachusetts brethren are none toe
jealous in the cause Weymouth of
Fitchburg agrees with Powers, that no
New Highlander can b. elected, and
banks on Sherman of New York, whom
he gives as high an endorsement as did
Joseph H. Walker. All the same, if
New England expects to count for any
thing, her congressional delegation will
have to follow the advice of Congress-
man Lawrence and get together,
whether the stake is the speakership or
river and harbor appropriation. This
may not be the highest ideal of politics.
but it is eminently practical.

"A LADY OF QUALITY"
Pictures Of Life and Manners Two Hum
bred Years Ago.


"a Lady Of Quality" which has
made itself and Julia Arthur famous
during the last three seasons, and
which Miss Arthur presented at the
Worcester Theatre last night, came
from the pen of Mrs. Burnett, its
author, as is well known. first in book
form. 1t made strong and interest
ing novel, and it makes strong and
Interesting play.
1t was Miss Arthur's first visit to
this city, and she was welcomed by
tall, imperious looking woman, with
classic, almost severe features, strong
ly oriental in character, and fitting adj
nirably the fierce, half-tamed charac-
ter of Clorinda Wildairs. 1t is hard to
comprehend. after seeing Miss Arthur
last night, that Chicago called her Ju-
het the finest since Adelaide Nelson's.
Cleopatra and the Davenport roles
seem more in her line. Yet she sug-
gests Nelson in many ways.
Miss Arthur's voice is her weakest
point.In ordinary and tender passages it
is hard, unsympathetica and monotonous-
ly on one key. And practically the same
criticism applies to her acting AS the
boy, in the fencing scene. and in all the
first act her dash and abandon were
capital. So too, in the greatest situa-
ton of all, after the killing Of her
scoundrel lover, her bewilderment, and
then the resolution Of a powerful ma
ture driven to bay, was magnificent.
But there is room for criticism in the
lesser portions even down to the en-
phasis in her reading.
Albert Brown of this city was cast
for Lord Humphrey Ware, a. part
which for the first half Of the play kept
him much on the stage. His acting
was all that his friends could desire
easy, graceful and without a trace of
circumstances. The veteran Joe
Allen also made a distinct hit as the
rollicking fox-hunting old batonet, Sir
Christopher.
Miss Arthur was recalled after every
act, with a triple call for the Strong
fourth act climax.

THE PARK PROGRAM.
An Entertaining List Of Songs, Sour
brettes and Sparkle.


brettes and Sparkle.
There is laughter in every act except
one at the Park this week. It is just
the sort Of bill calculated to please a
hot weather audience-light and gauzy,
but full of snap and fun from start to
finish. There are no Embarrassing ath-
letic feats. no playlets. no character
sketch teams; nothing but a little mu-
sic and a great deal of hilarity. Press
Eldridge, the monologuist, is respon-
sible for much of this last. With his
hands and face neatly BACKED, anc
wearing a rufiled shirt waist, he came
on the stage yesterday afternoon in
tending to stay but few minutes; but
three-quarters Of an hour were con-
sumed before the audience would let
him go.
Mile Flora contributed an exhibition
on the slack wire, prefaced by some
vigorous singing and dancing, and the
torture of an assistant, a la George
Austin. The mademoiselle is the first
woman whom the management of the
Park has permitted to appear in flesh
ings on its stage-a decided compliment
to the lady's figure. The Chappelle
sisters are a pair Of seriO-e comics They

REV. Or. GEORGE H. GOULD.

Ill health was handicap in the ca
reer of Rev. DR.. George H. Gould,
which he was never able to overcome.
1t robbed him of great fame as a
preacher and deprived the pulpit much
of one who graced it as pastor and
doubt but that Dr. Gould would have
ranked with the most able preachers
in the land had circumstances been diff
ferent. DR.. Gould's i'll health was the
direct result of hardships incurred in
working his way through college, when
he was compelled to deprive himself
of the very necessities of life to secure
an education. 1t was not in pulpit ora
tory or fireworks that Dr. Gould ex-
celled, but in profound thought and
old school preacher, though in his pull
pit productions he was abreast of the
times
DR.. Gould possessed a vein of humor
and a store of wit of the pleasing, not
of the biting kind, which le drew upon
on occasions more or less informal with
most delightful effect. Gatherings of
the Amherst alumni were numbered
among such favored events and We're
always enlivened by DR.. Gould who
was then at his best, inspired as he was
of late years by that other clerical wit
and raconteur, Rev. Calvin Stebbins,
When they were at such meetings il
never devolved upon the younger ele-
ment to furnish entertainment or tc
exert themselves to keep the gatherings
from becoming dull and prosaic.

if this regiment had been treated as
was the Sixth Massachusetts in Porto

the praise is deserved.
