The Negro boy or girl expects TO oc-
cupy q higher position than thst oc-
cupied by his parents. II MT, they
sersibly ask. why educate them7
Education erouses the ambition slim
ulates the desires and causes the per-
son to long for higher and greater
things. 1t has always done this sud
that it would do it was the reason that
southern Negro-hsters denied TO the
slave the use Of the spelling book.
When it comes to discussion OF the
Negro question, DR.. SoUTHALL wsbbles
badly.
The trouble is that the white man
expects more from the Negro, when in
view OF his past treatment and prese
environments, he should expect less.
He refers to the prison record of the
colored people OF the North, but as
our argument has dealt with til at
phase Of the question we pass it by.
We pause to remark that the dis
crIminstion against the book-learned
Negro of the South, the closing to him
Of the avenues By which he may be
able TO make an honest living is the
cause OF his downfall rather than the
education which has been accorded
him by those interested in his welfare.
Dr.. SoUTHALL must not have heard his
Democratic Patron Saint" at the
Academy of Music in this city last
week, when he said:
ST am not willing to leave nay boy
and my daughters to the conditions
that are now being formed. 1 would
betray the trust that God has imposed
upon me, il any temporary gaio would
pay me for condemning my children to
| e condition where they could not hope
for anything more than to be clerks.
(applsuse)."
II Mr.. BRYAN desires his children to
be something more thsn clerks, why
should we not want our children to be
something m IRE than dining room SER
wants, nurses, buffers, carriage drivers,
aud wash .women7 Answer that ques-
ton, DR.. SoUrHALL:. answer that ques-
ton.
No, no, we are endesvoring to have
our children rise on our dead selves
to higher things"
But after all of his rcanings, the
able superintendent foand resting
place OF apparent equality when he re
marks:
"Tbe introduction of industrial train
trrr srIer, II 81,
white as well as for colored children,
should be accomplished as soon as pos
| sible. Surely there is salvation in it."
We accept that, sir, but we object to
the pulling down-the destruction Of
the institutions of higher learning as q
result Of it.
when you announce q retrograde
movement on the part of the coIored
people of Virginia, you damage them
| far less than you injure the state. It
is a reflection upon your own popula-
ton and has q tendency to drive away
capital,
In the face of the facts we have stat
ed, we believe that the colored people
Of VirgiHis are marching onward and
upward. morally, financially aud re-
ligiously.
There are white men in Virginia who
know this and never fail to say it. but
to the ether kind. we exercise charity
believing that they are affected by
their environments ami swsyed by the
wave of popular disspprovsl which
he's set in against us. To them BURNS
speaks when he says:
Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler, sister woman;
Though they may gang kennin wrang.

Terrific Explosion Of Powder in
a Utah Coal Mine.
RECOVERING THE BODIES
Language Fails to Describe The Horrors Of
tie Scene-.corpses Have 10 Be Washed
Before They Can Be Recognized
Few Details Of the Explosion.

SALT LAKT, May LA special to
the Tribune from Scofeld, Utah, says:
The English language cannot describe
the appalling disaster which occurred
here at 1925 this forenoon by an ex-
ploslon In mine No Of the Pleasant
Valley Coal Company, and by which
to a certainty, 200 men and upwards
have lost their lives.
At this hour 1877 bodies have been
recovered and the work Of rescue is
still proceeding. and will continue until
ali the bodies are brought to the sur
face.
AS fast as the bodies are reached
they are brought down to the boarding
houses, and other company buildings,
where they are dressed and prepared
for the coroner's inquest. These build
ings are numerous and in each are
from ten to thirty-five bodies.

hot and cold water in tubs, and other
receptacles. The clothing is first re-
moved; the SCOT and powder burns
washed from their faces and the bod
les thus prepared are laid out in long
rows to await Identification by rela-
tives or friends.
The removal of the bodies began at
12 o'clock today and every diligence is
used to get the charred and mangled
remains from out of the mine. Many
hundreds of men have freely volun-
teered their services and as fast as
one set or force is worn cut. others
take their places. While the stencil OF

seems to be imminent near Thabanchu.
Dispatches OF Lord Roberts. dated
Monday and Tuesday, show that the
Beers rear guard is stubbornly re-
sisting his advance, and forced the
British on Saturday and Sunday to
act chiefly on the defensive. General
French. who is directing the operations,
has at least 1900 men. Some esti-
mates give him, 10000. The Beers are
estimated to be at least 5000 strong
and possibly 10000.
According to dispatch from Pretor-
ia, dated April IS, they were expecting
to give battle and have numerous ar
tlllery. So long as the Beers engage
the attention Of half Of Lord Roberts

ward Pretoria viii be delayed. No

eral Botha will be able to stand longer
than a few days. The feeling is that
he must be beaten off by the masses Of

NEW YORK. May LA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
A significant item Of intelligence has
been received from Cape Town. The
Express correspondent in that city
says it is asserted on good authority
that General Hunter has been sent to
kimberley to command a strong col
umn intended for the relief Of Mafek-
ing. The Times correspondent in
Bloemfontein gives some interesting
particulars respecting the manner in
which many Free Staters have abus-
ed the leniency hitherto shown them by
Lord Roberts. In the capital itself. a
secret society was formed to maintain
communications with the Boer COM
mandoes and to promte the rearma-
ment among the burghers. The exist
ence OF the conspiracy was gradually
brought to light, and the field marshal
has made up his mind that in the fu-
ture conspirators must be punished.
The advance northward cannot be
undertaken until the force east Of Tha-
banchu has been dispersed. yet for
three or four days there has been
skirmishing with the Beers rear guard,
until it has been reinforced from La
dybrand. The situation, as far as 1t
could he made out at midnight was un-
changed.
Experienced soldiers say that Lord
Roberts viii secure the southern Sec
tion of the Free State against raj i
ing operations by drawing Gordon
across the country and permanently
occupying Sannas' Post, Thabanchu
and Ladybrand, and that he viii then
push on as rapidly as possible for the
Vaal river, knowing that Steyn's men
will not fight in the Transvaal, and
that the strength Of the Dutch forces
will be heavily reduced.
The Boer army is well led and shows
no sign of abandoning the struggle.
Its Generals have recovered from the
panic, caused by Paardeberg, and have
demonstrated their ability to impede
the advance of the British army and
harass it on the flank, without ex-
posing their commanders to serious
risk of capture.
A private dispatch from Mafeking
confirms the previous reports that the
garrison was growing strong" at the
middle of the month. A fresh out
break of reproaches from the Ameer of
Afghanistan against the British gov
ernment, tends to confirm the suspic-
ion that Russian intrigues are in pro-
gress.
