1HE RACE PROBLEM.



J CHICAGO, Aug. al the meeting
oftho colored mems convent ton Friday.
bishop l.. II. Holsey. Of Texas. pro-
posed to the members an entirely new
scheme for the solution OF the race
problem. His idea Ia to have the Ne
groes build up sc, arate government
Of their own, but instead Of deporting
them to Africa, as advocated by Bishop
Turner OF Georgia, he would have this
mecca Of the colored man located with
IA the United States
Bishop Holsey explains his proposi.
ton A. follows;
There Is but one way to solve this
problem and that Is separation and
segregation. That ia the Negro race
must occupy a state OF states and hold
territory to themselves To make
this movement effective 1, 500. 900 vot-
crs should sign a petition to congress
10 vt apart a sufficient amount OF the
public domain with proper legislative
restrictions by which a state or states
may be erected which will be distinct.
~ Negro states having all the rights
Powe,A privileges functions and po-
ltieAl facilities given other states In
the union.
IL this can be accomplished the black
man would derive all the benefits aud
advantages for development that make
a people intelligent thoughtful and
noble.
The removal Of the Negro TO such a
state or states would settle the great
problem as far as the Negro IL con.
ccrEed. and would relieve the south OF
many a side issue In the social and POI
litical world.
When asked what portion OF the
United States had been selected by
the advocates of the scheme. Bishor
Holsey replied; ''Oklahoma and New
Mexico have been mention. but we
have not got 80 far with the project
that We feel in position TO select any
particular territory"

GREAT BATTLE OVER.

voted in the affirmative and declared
the ordinance passed. The fight was
lost and won. A storm of Indignation
greeted the result and for few mo-
ments pandemonium reigned. Mr..
Simmons and his associates at once left
the hall and the Council turned their
attention to routine business.
The ordinance, as passed by the
Council last night, is practically the
same ordinance first presented by the
company. None of the obnoxious
points have been eliminated and the
only saving clause in the ordinance, the
one providing that the company should
secure consent of the property owners,
was stricken out. The time. for the
completion Of the line was changed
from two years to eighteen months.
These are the only important changes
beyond the fact that that -

toned as one of the parties who should
enter into contract with the company.

AFTER four years OF patient endeavor
the Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha
Electric Railroad Co. has accomplished
it's purpose and secured the passage of
an ordinance granting it the privilege
of building a railway from the terminus
of the line through the city to the
southern llimits. After one year OF
agony, and other things, during which
the retiring Council has made the
regular appropriations and discussed
railway ordinances, the city fathers
have crowned their term of Office with
the granting of franchise to the NJ,
R. & z. Electric Railway. Ordinance
after ordinance has been thrust upon
their attention, to be turned down.
The NJ, r. & z. ordinance is the only
one which has ever been threatened
with passage. In their attitude in this
regard, however the consistency of the
Council has been something beautiful.
After several unsuccessful efforts it
finally passed the M. R. & K. ordinance
but the Mayor failed to sign it and on
the following day the President of the
Council vetoed it. At later session
the Council voted to sustain the veto.
Last night it was passed again. This
time the Mayor signed it and as a
consequence the franchise remains
fixture.
The various ordinances presented by
the Milwaukee, Racine and KenoBha
Co. have differed very little in char
acter. Unimportant changes have
been made from time to time. but they
were not such as would be likely to in
fuence public sentiment as to their
desirability. The wisdom or unWis-
dom of either would hold for all alike.
If it was deserving of acceptance last
night it was year ago. But the de-
cision has been made at last and there
is no need nor good of enquiring into
the why's and wherefores of the case.
Much has been said pro and con of the
of admitting the M. R. &
K. road. There have been many ar
guments advanced in it's favor and loud
and frequent warnings given against it.
Discussion at this stage is useless. No
doubt, as usually transpires in such
cases, many of the warnings given will
be proven groundless, and probably
many of the arguments advanced in
support of the enterprise will be
corroborated by experience.
