a condition bordering on political an
archy. The result is that no one can
tell whether the laws passed are de-

feet being that minor issues may con

blance to tree choice by the people.
1t is as likely to be contrary to the will
of the majority as in agreement with
it.
There are no valid reasons why the
choice of federal senators cannot safe

day is coming when there will be a
strong demand for it-indeed it is here
already. Mere constitutional prestige

The Bellows Falls Times thinks that
Gen. Grout is the logical successor OF
Senator Morrill,. Sometimes the voters
have an unreasonable way of turning
their backs on what one man regards
as logic. That Gen Grout would serve
the state creditably is doubtless true,
for he is man Of ability and HE eX-
perience has naturally been ofyalue to
him. but he is no more the logical sue
cessor of Morrill, than h. was of him
self two years ago, when the Times
turned him down in favor Of practi-
cally unknown man.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM
Booker T. Washington Thinks 1t Is

Especial Tuskegee (Ala.J letter.

The race question, in America, in
spite of occasional outrages on both
sides, is gradually settling itself, and a
larger part of the work of solving
the problem is being accomplished
by that portion of the population
whose skin contains the greater
amount of coloring pigment. Booker
I. Washington, who may, at the pres
ent time, be regarded as their repre-
sentative man, although there are many
others as able but not so well known,
believes that while holding firmly and
securely to everything guaranteed by
the constitution of the United States,
or that is fundamental to citizenship,
the colored people should make every
effort possible to secure the friendship,
confidence and cooperation of their
white neighbors in the SOUTH" They
should not be TRUCKERS" but act iTrhii--
ly from principle, and gain and retain
respect. They should endeavor to OBJ
tain the friendly interest of the south
ern white man, thus inducing him to
help make laws that will, in the truest
sense, elevate the negro. He advises
the latter to do more and more of his
own thinking and in a modest, temper
ate manner exercise his political rights
instead of being led by political bosses
or demagogues. Mr.. Washington fur

he walked and worked his passage to
that point, where he found himself sur
rounded by an atmosphere of business,
Christian influences ard a spirit of self
help that awakened every latent fac
ulty and brought realization of what
it meant to be a man instead of piece
of transferable property. On finishing
his school course, in 1881, he began, at
Tuskegee, Ala, what he intends to be
his life work. Without a dollar, in a
church and small shanty, with one
teacher and so pupils, he established a
school, which, with its spirit of work
and industrial thrift, aided by the state
and by some people of the north, has
developed into an institution of 1000
students, 81 teachers and 80 buildings.
From the ranks of these students are
to be sent out well-educated, self-re-
liant young men and women to live
among the ten millions of colored peo-
pie of the south, and help to elevate
them to their own condition.
At Tuskegee institute, industrial
training goes hand in hand with men,

all their expenses at the school. This,
at the same time, has greatly aided in
the development of the institution it.
self. All but three of the 80 buildings
have been erected by the students.
Many of the largest are brick, which
certain of the pupils here learning
the trades they are to follow in after
life have manufactured in the brick
yard of the school. This yard produces
not only all the bricks they require, but
many thousands more which are sold
in the surrounding country each year.
At first Mr.. Washington, having no
money, was unable to impart such prac-
teal knowledge as he desired, and had
to teach from books alone. But he
was fortunate in the possession of a
friend who was willing to loan $500 to
pay towards the purchase of a farm
near Tuskegee.
The school was soon moved to this
land. The boys were taught indoors
during part of the day, and passed
the remainder of the time in putting
the land in order and making bricks.
A skilled man was hired to instruct in

then become a property holder and as
such thoughtful and conservative
voter. With the increase of his prop
erty interests he gains in importance
as tax payer and necessary consulta-
tons with his white neighbor about
voting measures will follow. The black
man has implicit confidence in the
white mans advice in business, legal
and religious matters, and when he
shall with equal freedom be able to
consult him regarding politics the sit
uation will at once change for the bet
ter. A large number of colored people
in every county, owning their own neat
and comfortable homes and bank
account, and cooperating with their
white neighbors in every manly way
for the development of their own COM
munities, will aid greatly in changing
the present status of the negro as a
citizen. In Mr.. Washington's opinion,
when both races shall cooperate in
politics, business matters, religion and
education, the problem will in a great
measure be solved and political out

work themselves. Other young men
learn bricklaying, and others still to be
carpenters. \ large tract of valuable
timber land is now owned by the in
q, stitute upon which good sawmill has
been erected, all lumber needed being
cut here. Joiner work and carriage
making are taught. All the carts, wag-
ons and carriages used on the place
are made on the premises. and the
hickory lumber wagons are in such de-
mand that all not needed are readily
sold to surrounding farmers. 1t is
always intended to have a building in
process of construction, for the bene-
fit of the building classes. This year
it is trades school building. Last
year it was a handsome brick church,
with a seating capacity of 1000. The
plans were made by the instructor in
mechanical and architectural drawing,
a colored man named Taylor. The
pews and cornices were designed by
students. Men learning tinsmithing,
stating and putting in of electrical and
steam-heating apparatus, finished the
work. Each year men and women eX-
pert in different trades are graduated
and largely sought as teachers in other
institutions. They know their lines of
business well, and seem to have no diff
ficulty in obtaining employment.
A large part of the furniture used at
the school is built here. Harness-mak-
ing, saddlery, printing, tailoring, black
smithing, painting, plain and fancy
| cooking, candy making, millinery,
dressmaking, laundry work and even
nursing, under capable trained nurse,
are taught. There is a foundry and
machine shop.
AS large percentage of the south
ern negroes must live in the country,
especial attention is given to agricul-
ture. Mr.. George W. Carver, head of
this department, is a graduate of Iowa
state college. A recently issued PAM
phlet of kiY tells how he raised between
two and three hundred bushels of sweet
potatoes on an acre of ground where
the average yield is less than so bushels
per acre, A large herd of COWS and a
good dairy and creamery furnish oppor-
tunity for instruction in dairy work,
to which especial attention is given.
For the last ten years a conference of
negro farmers, from a dozen states, has
met annually under the guidance of Mr..
Washington at Tuskegee, to talk over"
their affairs. They are composed of

tional advantages. These people ex-

One of the most delightful women in New
York is one who discarded her waist line
years ago. She is built on the order of the
tub, but she has genial and accommodate
ing disposition and laughs heartily when she
tells this story on herself:
She had been to the Catskills for a few
weeks, staying at one of those mountain top
houses that it takes you four hours to drive
up to and half an hour to come down from.
She was met at the nearest railway station,
she and half dozen others, by stage that
set off up the mountain road. 1t was hot and
the stout lady had a kind heart. She pitied
the horses and as the road grew sleeper she
volunteered to get out and walk. The driver
helped her down and she trudged along as
far as she could. Then she was helped into
the stage again and at the next steep grade
she insisted on being helped out. She had
returned to the carriage another time, when
they came to still sleeper stretch of road
way. The stout lady was just too tired to
wen she said, I'm not going to get out
again. I'm too tired"
The driver turned to her with a look of
That's all right" he said. "Set still. I'd
lot rather haul you than heft you in and
out SC often"
And he hauled her to the very steps of
the hotel.-N. Y. Sun.
