During the closing hours of the
conference one Rev. Mr.. G .mpbell.
! Presbyterian minister of Ashe-
vile, n. c.. delivered an off hand
address of absorbing interest. He
is Southern white man. He be-
gan by saying he wanted to speak
his honest conVic ions, and plainly.
His address, boiled down, contained
three th ughts:
l. Negroes must ase to speak
of the bad qualities of the Souther.
whites. and must make the most of
the good qualities of these people.
2. Negro mnst accept the ad-
iustment that has grown out OF Il
hundred years of contact between
the two races at the South, and
make that adjustment the basis for
the solution of the vexlng problem.
Unless that adjustment is accepted
as basis, one race or the other will
be exterminated.
3. Negroes must be negroes, and
must not try to be viii men. He
said that God, and not man, made
the color line.
He was interru pied a number OF
times during the delivery of biz
| talk by questions from mem bers OF
the conference, which showed that
his remarks did not meet the views
of the questioners When lie had
conc uded the general discussion
which followed NO doubt contrib
uted greatly to his enlightenment
as to the feelings and aspirations OF
decent. self-respecting negroes. All
who replied to him did SO courte-
ously, firmly and pointedly.
The remarks of the Rev. W. V.
Tuunell we're especially forceful and
pertinent.
1he Hampton conferences are,
bepond all question, doing a lasting
service in the direction Of helping
the colored people to better their
condition, and TO command such
forces as will lift them out of pr
ent conditions. The subjects dis
cussed lie at the very bottom of all
essential growth and development.
These conferences are of especial
benefit to all persons engaged in the
work of disseminating life and light
amOnga people who have long b en-
kept in darkness.
These conferen es are models Of
order. decorum and dece ncy. If
they served no other purpose than
the bringing together Of large nam-
bers Of colored persons who should,
without noise, tumult or riot, dis
cuss questions of great moment to
the race, the holding OF them would
be indicated. But they serve
other and more vital purposes.
They lend their influence 10 encour-
aging desire for education, to i'm
pressing the dignity and necessity
Of labor, the requirement of prop
erty, the ;ttainment of skill, the
growth and preservation of morals,
and the necessity of upright. conse-
Grated, self denying leadership. Il
cannot be but that the Hampton
the Tuskegee confer
ences and the Atlanta conferences
will greatly stimulate our people in
The efforts they u axe for social,
moral and economic growth and
power.

THEHAMPToN CONFERENCE

Id q dA MI 1ON OON ~ 49,
The Hampton conferences have
come to occupy much Of the thought
end endeavo1 of many Of the seri'
Gus minds of negro people in the
District of Columbia and in the
States Of Virginia, Maryland and
North Carolina. Their influence
reaches beyond the limits OF the ter
ritory named. The third of these
conferences met in Academic Hal
Of the Hampton Normal and Agri
cultural Institute on Wednesday
morning, July 19. The concluding
session was held Friday morning.
july II. In the three days for which
the conference was called five ses-
sions were held. At these sessions
papers were read and reports Of com.
mItpees were made covering many
phases Of the negro question. The
subjects brought before the confer
cnce related to education, domestic
economy, moral and religious ethics,
business and labor, vital and ssni-
tary problems, farming and litera-
ture. Some of the reports and sd-
dresses were of very high order
and bore evidence Of conscientious
and painstaking investigation and
careful preparation. Others were
lacking in these qualities, and hence
were wanting in the thoroughness
of treatment classification and as
similstion of material which the
importance Of the subjects handled
demanded.
The report Of Mr.. Andrew +.
Hilyer on THE Attitude Of Organ
ized Labor Toward the Negro" was
one of the best, if not the very best,
report read at the conference. 1t
will be very valuable. when pub
lished, for purposes of reference.
The report of DR.. Furman j. Shadd.
on "Vital and Sanitary Problems"
was thoroughly scientific in it's clas-
sificstion Of facts and its treatment
Of them. HIS facts were collected
aud arranged with reference to GER
tain conclusions, and the conclu-
sions were in each case supported
by the facts.
Of the papers read at the confer.
ence the following are deserving of
as rising to the dignity Of
the subjects of which they treated:
"A Few Hints to the Southern
by Prof. Geo W. Carver,
Of the Tuskogee Normal and Indus
trial Institute "The Burden of
the Educated Negro Woman" by
Miss Lucy G. Laney, of Augusta,
Ga Negro Business Enterprises
of Hampton. va.," by Mr.. Harris
Barrett, Of Hampton, Va, and
"The Negro in Fiction as Portrayed
and Portrayer," by Prof. W. S.
Scarborough, of Wilberforce Uni
versity, Ohio.
The general discussion had on
these reports and papers was at all
times spirited, and in many in
stances pointed, pertinent and illu-
minsting. As is usual at all large
gatherings, and most small ones,
there were present q nomber of
persons who insisted upon talking
at all times and on all subjects,
whether they were able to contribute
any enlightenment or not. These
vain-glorious, self-exploiting indi-
like the poor, We have with
us always, and they are to be en-
dured with equanimlty and philoso-
ply, rather than treated with re-
sentiment or contempt, unless it be
,ou utempt of the silent variety.

If Billy Mason really wants to keep
his seat in the Senate till the expira-
ton of his term he will not resign and
appeal to the people to- sustain him in
his opposition to the Republican ad-
ministration by returning him to the
Senate. Evidence accumulates that
the voters of Illinois are on tiptoe to
call Billy's bluff Nothing would please
them so well as TO have Billy resign.
They would take good care that he is
not sent back again. His fellow Re-
publicans are expansionists. They
stand by the President and they are in
dnitely disgusted with Mason. Here
is specimen of the reception the sug-
gestion that he might resign received
all over the State of Illinois:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The positive
statement ia made here today by au-
thoriiy that Spain does not retain pos
session of single island in the Philip
pine archipelago. This ia called forth
by the declaration in the Spanish cortes
yesterday, OF the Count d'Almenas,
that through ignorance the American
peace commissioners had allowed three
islands at the northern extremity Of
the archipelago 10 remain under Span
ish control, through their definition in
the treaty of the boundary of the group.

confident that no effort was omitted b,
the commission to secure a peaceful
end of the struggle, but the opportunt
ties they offered and urged were all
neglected, if not indeed spurned'
The broad conclusion of the commits
sion is that the withdrawal of the
United States forces would mean an
archy, and American control is neces-
sary for the internal peace and order OF
the islands, to prevent ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Of the archipelago, for its commercial
and industrial prosperity, and every
other good thing.

year, and when inquired Of 1 have made
answer that / was still sin the field" to
take my chances with the rest. AS mat

apparent that to hope for success l must
enter upon contest requiring personal ef-
fort on my part in the way OF soliciting the
support Of friends and people supposed to

no "claim" upon the office or upon the

nounce through the Times that 1 am no
longer a candidate My withdrawal is in
the interest of no particular person.
L. M. READ.
A close observer OF Judge Reads ca
reer in public life in Vermont, > an ad-
mirer of his sturdy way of supporting
in the Legislature any policy or
measure his judgment sanctioned, or
of opposing any that it condemned, a
believer in his rugged integrity aud
confident of his ability to serve. the
second congressional district with high
acceptance, this paper ardently es-
poused his candidacy in the canvass of
1898. Judge Read had one superior
qualification for good-in the right
sense of the word-representative in
Congress: he was not politician. He
had not learned to crook the plant
hinges Of the knee that.;thrift may fol-
low fawning." He had been industri-
ously minding his own business all the
period Of his life time, except when, in
his young manhood, he was making it
his business, with some hundreds of
thousands of other young patriots, to
see that the Southern States did not
break up this Union; and except, fur
J Their, when his fellow citizens had sum-
moned him from private pursuits to
serve the public in civil office. All his
public duties were performed thor
ougbly, conscientiously, with strict
fidelity, and with rare ability. So, in
the canvass of 1898, he was handi-
capped, to some extent, by lack of pop
ular acquaintanceship, but was chiefly
overmatched by an opposition united
and inspired by "the cohesive power of
public plumber" assiduously distributed
by his opponent through half genera.
ton, with system and premedtated
purpose. Judge Read was not built
for such scramble, or for such an one
as is impending in the district, and
that he is not is not at all to his dis
credit. He prefers his peace of mind
and the orderly attention to the af'
fairs of private life to the anxieties
harrassments and turbulence of 6
heated political canvass. So ne with
draws from the contest in the secont
district, with what result to the for
tunes Of any who remain in is yet to b
determined.

What sort of an idea can any man,
and particularly Vermont newspaper
editor, have of the eternal fitness of
things to suggest the name of Admi-
raj Dewey as candidate for the vice
preside ncyP And yet the Free Press,
whose vagaries often surprise and
amuse, outdoes itself in absurdity in
seriously connecting the Admiral's
name with the candidacy for the Sec
ond executive Office of the government.
The suggestion is an anti-climax gro
tesque to degree. An Admiral by
virtue of brilliant and world-famous
achievements, the AmC rican people
on fire to make him President if he
will give but sign of assent-and
now it is seriously suggested to run
him for the office which Vice. President
Wheeler declared had afflicted with
political death every man who had not
died physically during his tenure of
the position.
