To the Boston People on the Attitude
of the south on the Negro Question

Boston, May 23.-The people of Bos-
ton are showing deep interest in the
address of former Governor w. j. Nor
then, of Georgia, who spoke before
the Congregational Club here last
night, but who, through lack Of time,
was compelled to curtail his speech,
although he occupied more than TWO
hours. 1t was the general verdict to-
day that the citizens here have never
before had such an exhaustive state
ment of the attitude of the south on
the negro question.
Mr.. Northen's statements did not
meet with the approval of his audience,
especially those with the reference to
Uncle Toms Cabin" The general IA
vor with which his statements were re-
ceived was shown by al expression
from the floor, when the speaker,
prompted by the chairman, was about
to close, by a person who moved that
the gentleman be permitted to deliver
the whole of his address, if it takes all
night" The motion was greeted with
applause n the speaker continued for
another half hour.
Although necessarily restricted as TO
time, Bishop Arnett, who was to speak
for the negro, held the close attention
of the audience and as he closed was
given a hearty handShake by ex-Gov-
ernor Northen and a cordial invitation
to visit the former chief executive of
Georgia at Atlanta

SOUTHERN FARM PRODUCTS
Secretary Wilson speaks of the Prog.
s1ress, Especially, in sugar and Rice.

Washington, May 23.-Secretary Will
son returned today from his visit to
Louisiana and Texas, which was made
in conformity with the wishes of the
president, for the purpose of looking
over the sugar, rice tobacco, fruit,
cotton, grazing and other industries of
that section. He reports very cordial
cooperation on the part of the produc-
ers of those states in giving him ia
cities for seeing everything along these
lines.
Speaking of the industry, the
secretary said: Very extensive i'm
provements nave lately been made in
the sugar factories, in anticipation Of
a life and death struggle with sugar
countries where labor is cheaper and
conditions quite as favorable. The &C
tual condition today is that of admi-
rable preparation for handling a large
crop, with a prospect, however, of the
present crop being cut down 30 per
cent. by the frosts of last winter. The
encouragement given by the Dingley
tariff will have a tendency to increase
the area of production and attract cap
ital to the enterprise. The people are
| much more concerned over the future
policy of congress respecting their in
dustry han they are over the heavy
loss on the coming crop by the low
temperatures. They are pleased to
note the great increase of pro-
Guction from the beets in the north
ern states, judging they will not be
alone in the future when public poll
cies are formed regarding the importa-
ton of their product. The large amount
of money being paid to foreign coun-
tries for sacharrine matter gives album
| dant opportunity for enterprise iii the
| production of sugar within the United
| States, n every effort will be now
made by the producers Of sugar to
| earn that money"
Referring to the political situation,
the secretary said: THE people &C
| commodate themselves to circum-
| stances, politically. The republicans
| say: we a protection Others who
| do not like to use the word protection
| say: The government needs reve-
nues.' But, however it is put, the pres
ent policies of the government are very
poular."
The secretary expressed he opinion
that the encouragement given by the
Dingley tariff has had a marked eff
feet on the rice producers around the
gulf, and that extensive arrangements
are generally being made to produce
all the rice consumed in the United
States, which he thinks will be soon
brought about.
