Found Dead.

Geo.. Hubbard, a farmer living three
miles southwest of Argusville, was
found dead in a well on his farm by
A. ID. Scott, a n%eighbor. The well
was about IS inches in diameter and
the body was found head downward,
thus giving the unfortunate man no
opportunity to save himself if he so
desired. 1t is hard to say whether it
was a case of accident or suicide. Mr..
Hibbard had been low spirited lately,

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

81 believe the Negro question comes
nearer being solved in the District OF
Columbia than anywhere else IN the
United States. said Mr.. Lorenzo B.
CushD an, Of Kentucky, who is a guest
at the Raleigh. "Tbis is undoubtedly
due In part to the fact that there is no
franchise here aud the question of pO-
litical domination does not enter Into
the relations between the races. It Is
due, in greater measure, Ithiak, how
ever, to the fact that here in Washing
ton the Negro has found his proper level.
He is rarely, if ever, insolent to white
man, and the white man in turn does
not encroach upon any of the Negro's
rights. Such thing as lynch1ng a
Negro here, | understand is unknown.
The Washington Negro does not give
provoeation for such drastic treatment.
The relations between the whites and
the Negroes in the Capital come nearer
to approaching the relations of the races
in the South before the war than it does
almost in any other part of the coun-
try, and yet the Negro enjoys degree
of independence that is vouchRafed him
in few other communities. They al.
most monOpolize the work of domestics,
and am informed that the servant
question here has reached a nearness
TO solution that makes Washington the
envy of other cities. The South is In
clined to keep the Negro down as much
as possible, while in New England.
notably in Boston, there is adsposition
to receive him upon too nearly an equal
plane with the whites. Washington
seems to have struck happy medium.
This has been done, as nearly as I can
figure it out, by leaving him alone to
work out his own salvation, and a.
surely as water that is not artificIsIIv
Kept down or up, will find its proper

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1900.
SHOULD THE NEGRO ENLIST.

IF we are to have war with China
the colored man should do his part,
With the same cheerfullness and manli,
meas that has always characterized his
conduct when his country called for
volunteers. We have little sympathy
with the sending of missionaries into
China. and do not blame the Chinese
for resenting the interference of foreign
srs with their form of religious custom.
We believe the Christian religion to
be the best on earth, but if the Chinese
prefer to PIN their faith to the teaching
of Confuoius, that is their business.
If they ''rubbernecked" on our shores
and made any pretentiOus effort to
proselyte Americans, terrific howl
would go up, and the celestial preacher
would be shown the door In a hurry.
But killing or confining diplomatic
officers, lie another matter, and if the
Chinese government connives at such
outrages or is powerless to put our
government In communication with its
own minister, then the responsibility
must be located and the offender duly
punished. If war is necessary to up
hold American dignity, then var must
come. The eolored mans duty is iden'
tical with that of every other element
of American citizenship-he must
fight fer the flag Our domestic affiic
tions are hard to bear. but sulking in.
tent never accomplished any noble
purpose, and We cannot afford to be
recalcitrant to sour plain duty" We
cannot reform our local evils, Cgrowing
out of lack of centralized power, by
refusing to fight for American prestige
abroad, especially when our country is
IN the right.
If a war with China comes-and ii
seems very likely-the Negro who
likes the life of a soldier SHOULD feel
free to enlist, and feel obligated to do
his whole duty. No personal grievance
in the family should weigh with as
when the outsider is to De placed
