a move suggesting that the colored
race of the South ask Congress to pro-
vide for their colonization. In nv
opinion, that is the proper course to
pursue by that race, and that being
done, would forever put an end to the
prejudice that now exists between the
two races. The white people are Of
right entitled to govern this country,
and should do go, and the colored peo-
pie should be colonizad or sent back to
their native land so they can exercise
their liberty, in ~electing their officers
to rule over them, and at the same
time Gf Congress should grant their
colonizatioD) they should be under the
direction of the United States Govern.
ment, until they get able, and compe.
tent to govern themselves.
This plan would be less expensive to
the people of the United States than to
ship them baek to their native land.
But in my opinion they should be sent
back to their native land which God
gave them to inherit. It is evident
that they are an inferior race, but en-
titled to the liberties of free men on
the earth, which has been given them
by the great Ruler of things. And if
the above was put into effect, that
would put an end to so much bicker-
ing and discomfort, which snow exist
ing between the two races, and our
people would enjOy more contentment
thereby, and that old song, "Nigger"
would be forever settled in politics,
and other like things, which lead to
strife and lynching.
There are plenty of people who de-
sire to work on the farms, without the
colored people, and they are far better
managers of farms than are the colored
people. And if the colored people were
put in a country to themselves, they
would soon learn that they would have
to take more interest in farming than
they do here, and they would be en-
couraged more than now to make pro-
'gress. 1 am glad that the question is
being discussed, and trust great good
may follow, to all of us.

RACE QUESTION IN CUBA.

Negroes Must be Made to Understand
That White Supremacy is Unavoid-
able
HAVANA, Sept. 15.-La Lucha prints
a column editorial commenting on the
diversity Of opinion existing in Cuba
regarding the form OF government.
The paper says that in the event OF in
dependence the raca question will be
the grRvest Of all. White supremacy,
it adds, is unavoidable, and negroes
must bear that in mird. There can
never be social equality between the
two races, and political equality will
not come to the negroes for consider
able time.

THE LARGEST VESSEL AFLoAT

NEW YORK, September Is The new
White ,Ssar S 7eamship Oceanic, the
largest vessel afoat, from Q l~eenstown,
arrived at her pier in North river at
1:45 o'clock this afternoon and de-
barked her passengers.
A big crowd Of those who secured
passes to the dock, and a bigger crowd
which was kept back ct the fence,
cheered the new steamer as she crept
up the river and swung slowly into her
birth. Coming up from Liberty Island.
The boat appeared unwieldly and her
tunnels too high for symmetry, but as
she came closer the impression Of great
length grew clearer. It took six tugs
forty minutes to shove her bow around
and force the huge vessel into place.
Docked, she filed almost the whole
length of the long pier.
The O1eanic's time was six days and
two hours. She is the largest vessel
ever built. She was launched at Bel
fast, January 14th at the shipbuilding
yards of Harland 6 Wolff. Her di-
mansions are 7O4 feet long, - feet beam
and 68 feet depth, with drought, light,

NATIONAL EXPORT EXPOSITION.

Thursday, September 14th. there was
opened in Philadelphia an exposi
ton not only national in its character
but international in its significance.
1t is known as the National Export
Exposition, is to last till November 80,
and is under the auspices Of the Phil
adelphia Commercial Museum, with
municipal, State and government sup
port. DR.. W. P. Wilson, director
general of this exposition, gives some
very interesting statistics and facts in
this number about this notable display
Of industrial activities. Or it's scope it
says:
Every foreign government has been
invited to send an eff 3ial delegate to
the National Expert Exposition. Over
eight hundred foreign chambers of
commerce and boards of trade have
been similarity requested to appoint
two or three delegates each, and in ad.
dition personal invitations have gone
out to 20, 900 leading business firms
throughout the world to send repre-
sentatives. Responses indicate such a
liberal acceptance of these various in
vitations as to assure a congress of
world wide Importance. Ole Of the
most notable features of the exposition
will be the display Of manufactures Of
iron and steel. That manufacturing
interest is better represented in the ap
plicRtions for space than any other.
This is probably due to the success
which has attended the efforts to ex
tend the export trade Of the United
States in that line. American locomo
tives, which are being sent to all parts
OF the world; American bridges and
viaducts; American railway and cleo,
trio cars; American machinery Of all
kindc-7re recognized in every part OF
the world as being the standard of ex
cellence. The display of manufactured
products of the United States in this
particular line will be the bEst, prob
ably, that has ever been made"

the following statement to the Asso

Is is very important that the pub

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
There is much knowledge Of human
nature in the familiar words, MAN
cannot serve two masters" which is as
good philosophy to-day as when first
written. To have an abiding exis-
tence, any organization must fill a
want in the life of it's members in a
financial way or in some other way.
and must also be in harmony with the
nature of man. It must not be 30 or
ganized that certain men for whom it's
kenefts are intended cannot enjoy
these benefits without their sacrificing
principles or being out of harmony
with the spirit of the organization.
Organizations on which men may rely
are one OF the most striking characters.
tics of our present progress. The old
story Of the bundle OF rods, strong in
united strength, but weak when tried
alone, is daily illustrated and repeated
in every phase of life. The Christians
are organized to stay the progress Of
the devil and forward the cause Of
righteousness; laborers in all the great
cities are organized to prevent an in
lstice being done them by capitalists;
capitalists are united in order to
achieve ends which they could not
fingly; government is an Organiza'
ton for the protection of the rights of
the people. If any people, or class of
people are without effective organiza-
ton by which they must be treated
with as a whole and not as individuals,
such a people, or class, of people,
are placed at the mercy Of the
organisations with whom they
deal, and can only hope for justice
because it is measured out to them by
their competitors from a sense of duty
to do the right thing. And it ia by no
means business like to depend entirely
on the honestly Of your opponent
when you have been defrauded re.
peatedly by his calculations.
The need of organization among the
farmers has long been eminent, and
the power of their organization in the
Farmers Alliance was felt to fill the
need. The duration of this period of
power was brief.
A considerable per cent. of the Ali
ance was made up OF Democrats and
Republicans principally Democracy
who had become dissatisfied with the
old parties and this element went to
the Populist party, and, come atte mpted
to make the Alliance a Populist club.
It was of course impossible for Damo-
Gratis and Republicans to be in the
same sympathy with the Order as for
merly, event if they remained in it. The
result was that the membership Of the
| Order fell eff.
The object of this paper is neither to
oppose or advocate the Populist, CT any
other party, but rather to urge the

TALKING ON TRUSTS.
Very Large Attendance at the Chicago
Conference:

(O44SAS4CC6
CHICAGO, Sept. - Trusts and in
dustrial combinations were the sub
iscts of discussion to day by the con.
ference called by the Civil Federation
of Chicago for that purpose. The con
ference is an assemblsge of several
hundred distinguished men, who came
from nearly every State of the Union.
1t includes governors Of States, Sena
tors, Congressman, college presidents,
professors, lawyers, trust mcials, bust
ness, laboring and professional men.
1t is wishout doubt the largest gather
ing of representative men, of so many
varied interests, that yer undertook a
discussion of the question OF trusts.
Professor jerks spoke on the trusts
problem. He said, in part:
81 cannot expect to state clearly all
of the questions raised by the gro With
of these Industrial combinations" He
mentioned some Of the most important
ones end said it had been asserted
lately that the mother OF all trusts is
the customs tariff law. MANY indus
tries, however, in which great comb
nations exist have no protection of
their product by the tariff Managers
| of combinations which have been
| formed in projected Industries az sert
that it has been thu ferceneGs Of home
competition that has driven them into
combinations, and that if the tariff
has been in any sense the OF
| combination it has been such only by
developing home industry to so great
an extent that the fierce competition
was unavoidable. Managers of great
CaOitalistic organizations usually as
sert that they have been driven into
] combination through the derceness Of
competion,"
T1is afternoons session opened with
g ape By Professor Adams on the
same subj ct as his predecessor, Mr..
| jerks. Tnese addresses were received
attentiveIy, but it remained for Dud
ley Wooten of the Texas delegation, to
stir up the enthusiasm OF the camp
meeting variety. He was frequently
interrupted by cheering, He spoke 10
part as follows:
Accepting in good faith that amend
ment which the heroic Ie8I0ns OF Ene
south resisted unto death on a thousand
battlef1elds, we believe that neither
slavery nor involuntary serVitude, ex,
cept aa punishment for crime, shall ex'
is6 within the United States or any
place subject TO their Jurisdiction, and
we confidently assert that the com
mercial and industrial bondage being
rapidly imposed upon the toll and tai
ents of 70, COO, 900 American citizens By
syn6icaEed wealth OF a few great cor
porate monopolies is more dire and
dangerous than the slavery which
bowed the heads and burdened the
backs of 1000, 900 Southern black
men.
"And above and beyond these great
written guarantees of equality, We
look to the lessons OF history and Rp-
zeal to the authority Of experience
When we are told that commercial
combinations promises golden rewards
to the present tendencies OF our eco
nomic system, we are remember thai
no republic has ever survived the mer
Cenary despotism Of merchants and
money changers"

Never going out into the Pacific OCEAN
on the east, or the China Sea on the
west, l made a circuit of 1000 miles,
all south of Manila. This gives some
idea of the difficulty of maintaining an
effective blockade, as the coast line of
all the islands embraced in the archi-
pelago is many more thousands of
milee.
Second, the multiplicity and hetero
ganeous nature of the tribes is some
thing astonishing. Over 50 different
languages r spoken in the archipel
ago, and though the msj 1rity Of the
tribes are small, there are at least half
a dozen having a quarter Of a million
members. The languages of these peo'
pie are as distinct from one another as
French and Spanish or Italian, 90 that
the speech Of any one tribe is unintel.
ligible to it's neighbors. These tribes
are ell civilized and Ohrissianizsd, but
small, uncivilized tribes, among whom
the IgOrotes seem best known in Amer
lea, inhabit the mountains ia Luzon,
and form a large part OF the popula-
ton Of MinrRnao. In this island there
is a large MohammedRn population,
which is independent of the Moham
medans in the neighboring Sulu archi-
pelago.
Third, it is the Tagalos inhabiting
some of the provinces about Manila,
who are resist ng the authority of the
United States. Ojher civilized Fill
pinos are neutral, except where they
are coerced by armed bands of Tagalos,
who seized upon their governments
during the making and the ratifca
ton OF our peace treaty with Spain.
It would be incorrect to assume, how
ever, that these tribes are allies Of ours.
They are not. Indeed, they are not
without suspicion of the white race,
of which they have had experience
only through Spain. But there are
men Of intelligence and property and
the masses, when not stirred up by the
Tagalos, recognize the advantage to
them OF American sovereignty and sc
remain neutral, although robber bands
from time to time descend from the
mountains to plumber aud burn estates
Of the peaceful inhabitants on the
plains.
Fourth, the insurrection, though
serious enough. as the experience has
proven, is not a national uprising,
Indeed, there is no Philippine nation
As Z have already said, there is a mul
hilarious connection of tribes; they be
long to the Malay race. The inhabi-
tants Of archipelago no more consti
tute a nation than the inhabitants o.
the continent of Europe do.
Fifth, the United States having as
sumed by a treaty of peace with Spair
sovereignty over the archipelago, be
came responsible for the maintenance
Of peace and order, the administration
of justice, the security Of life and prop
er W among all the tribes Of the archi
pelago. This is an obligation which
intelligent FIiipinos, not less than for
eign nations, expect US to fulfill. No,
will the national honor permit US tt
turn back. In taking the Pnilippinr
Islands, we annex great responsibility
The fact that the responsibility is h3av

excuse for failure to discharge it.
