Bt.hop GRANT on Negroe..

NEW YORK. May u.-Bishop Abram
Grants address on negroes was a feature OF
to-day's session of the African Methodist
Episcopal conference at Orange. N. ].
The bishop said in part: The white man
has no burden in America that the negro
has not. / trust and believe that the time
will soon come when all reference to color
will be obliterated: when white men and
negros alike will be referred TO In the pulpit
and press as men. Whenever this country
has had trouble with a foreign foe the
negro has never failed to answer the call
to duty and If We can face shot and shell
together and bear the burden Of the white
man in war We ought to do so in time or
peace. All descriptions, strikes and troubles
of the country have been caused by for
eigners and not by the negro. and when the
negro has been called upon he has always
aided in quelling such disturbances. Ihe
troubles in the South are not discouraging
to me. We are in a transitional state and
can expect such things. These troubles Will
continue for a while. but the righteous peo-
pie will rise in indignation in time A few
more cases such as we have had will arouse
Christians In every State in the Union who
will say that these things are a disgrace
to the Nation and must be stopped"
