Judge as somebody called his attention TO
the Apollo Club concert, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
1T was all horrible mistake" the
Judge went on. "a country cousin of mine
came up and I was trying to do myself
proud in showing him the town. That was
during the season of the Grau grand opera,
I'd like to take Jim around to see the
Auditorium, 1 said to my wife.

SOLVING THE RACE PROBLEM.

With so many thinkers trying to solve
the race problem some progress ought to
be made in solving it. None of the ways
however. for solving il that have been pro-
posed is satisfactory. In fact the solution
search for it began.
The most eloquent address at the Mont
gomery race problem conference was that
delivered by John Temple Graves We do
not believe that Mr.. Graves way for SOW
ing the problem is practicable. He insists
that the solution is in separation. We
agree with him that separation would
solve the problem, but about separating
the races, is that possible? We do not
think it is. The negro is here 10 stay
He will not leave his present abiding place
of his own free WILL and public sentiment
would not support a proposition to deport
him. Besides, the moving such a mass of
people would be such a vast undertaking
that it would be difficult TO get the country
to give it serious consideration.
AT the general meeting of the American
Social Science Association in Washington
last Monday, Mr.. Dudley Warner read a
lengthy paper on the negro question After
devoting a considerable part of his able
paper 10 the question of the education of
the negro. and saying that his deportation
was an idle dream he gave the following
as his solution of the race problem The
only visible solution is for the negro to
become an integral and an intelligent part
of the Industrial community. The way may
be long, but he must work his way up
Sympathetic cid may do much, but the sal
vation'o the negro is in his own hands, in
the development of individual character
and race soul. This is fully understood
by his wisest leaders. His worst enemy Is
the dema gogue who 1atters him with the
delusion that all he needs for his elevation
is freedom and certain privileges that
were denied him in slavery"
1t viii be seen that this solution is prac-
tically that of Booker Washington The So
luton Of the problem depends on the negro
himself. There is a future for the negro
provided he has the qualities necessary to
lift himself to higher intellectual and
moral plane But this solution does not
take into account the antagonism between
the whites and negroes. 1t is this antag-
onism probably that leads Mr.. Graves TO
take the position that deportation is the
only solution Of the problem.

rLon1pA ORANGE GROVES.

1t will be but very few years before
the orange crop of Florida viii be as
large as it was before the great freeze
of few years ago. 1t is estimated by
competent authority that the crop for 1900
1901 viii approximate 100000 boxes, and
that It will bring about as much money
into the state as when the yield was over
10000 boxes.
When the orange output of the state
was largest the crop brought to the
growers between 81, 800 900 and 100000
The crop was so large and the times were
so hard that prices for oranges were very
|, low. Growers did not get, on an average,
much more than 50 cents per box. This
year they got as much as 81 per box net
It is doubtful if the people of the orange
counties in the northern and middle part
OF the state will ever again give as much
attention to growing oranges as they
once did. They certainly will not unless
they become convinced that that section
of the state is likely to be exempt from
severe freezes for long series of years,
and there is no way for them to be con-
WINGED of that except by experience.
Il
very severe winters there is likely to be
long period in which there win be little
or no frost. There appear TO be some
facts TO support this theory, but the
theory is not sufficiently well established
to encourage people to put their money
into orange groves within the belt that has
suffered greatly from frost within the last
few years If there should be succession
of mild winters confidence might return,
and counties that were once rich In
groves might become rich in them again
1t is probable, however, that in future
orange groves will be confined to the
southern counies-clountes which are
well below the line of severe freezes. There
are quite number of these coupties, and
they have land enough, suitable for
orange culture, to grow all the oranges
the American market can take at re-
munerative prices. 1t is within the bounds
of probability that within the next ten
years the Florida orange crop will amount
TO more than 100000 boxes.
There has been some satisfaction among
the orange growers of California over the
probability that Florida had practically
ceased to be an orange producing state.
But they are doomed to disappointment
If they believe they are not to have any
more competition from Florida. AS al
ready indicated this competition within a
very few years will be greater than ever
1t was. And 1t is competition which the
California growers greatly fear, because
the oranges of that state are greatly in
ferior to those of Florida. In fact, there
are no oranges in the world equal to those
srown in the latter state. They are so
much superior to any other that If there
were sufficient supply of them they
would drive all others out Of the mar
ket

WHAT WOULD SUIT GOLD DEMO
Gratis.

The gold Democrats are still hopeful
that the Democratic National Convention
viii not insist upon putting the silver
plank of the Chicago platform into the
platform which will DO adopted at Kan
sas City. One of the most prominent DEM
ocrats of the West. Mr.. Don NJ. Dickinson,
who was Postmaster General in Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, is quoted as saying
that the gold Democrats would be salts
fled with a money plank like that recent
ly adopted by the Michigan Dead Z
That plank is as follows: I'VE still indorS{
the movement for the historic union Of
gold and silver as primary money metals.
and in general those principals OF govern
mental reform enunciated so clearly in
the last national platform of the party
Speaking for himself, MT Dickinson
| says that If the foregoing should be adopt
ed as the money plank of the Democratic
party he would support the ticlet which
will be nominated at Kansas City. He is
| OF the opinion that gold Democrats gen
| orally would support il. He thinks that
| the gold Democrats should have recogni-
ton of some sort at Kansas City. and he
Is of the opinion that it would be a good
thing for the party to abandon some OF
the pledges OF the Chicago platform.
Mr. Dickinson will not be permitted to
| dictate the terms on which he will return
| TO the Democratic party. There is not the
remotest probability of any such plank
as that of the Michigan Democracy be-
| ing adopted by the Kansas City Conven-
| ton. ID has been pointed out, over and
over again. that as Mr.. Bryan will be
| the nominee for President, he will be per-
mitted to dictate the platform declara-
tons. He has been travelling over the
| country ever since the last presidential
| election. ana it is believed that he under
stands what the Democracy wants in its
platform. He has said that the Chicago
platform would be affirmed in its entirety.
There is no room for doubt that this will
be done.
If the money plank Of the Chicago plat
form were to be modified in any important
particular. even If the 16 to l ratio were
to be left out of the silver plank, it is
very doubtful whether Mr. Bryan could
get the nomination, or whether it would
be advisable to nominate him. A modifi-
| cation of that platform on the money
question would be an admission that the
Democratic party was mistaken in respect
90 that question in 1895, and that Mr..
Bryan blundered in regard to it.
No doubt strong efforts will be made by
gold Democrats to have the new national
platform of the party made less objec
tionable to themselves than the Chicago
platform was. but they Will be unsuccess-
full Mr.. Bryan believes and the Demo-
cratic leaders in control of the party be-
lieve that the chances for success are far
better along the lines laid down in 1896
than they would be along lines wholly
acceptable to the gold Democrats. There
fore the gold Democrats will have to re-
turn to the party Internationally. il they
return at all.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem) says: THE
debts of the civilized nations now add up
a total of over $32, 900, 900 000-most of 1t
incurred in wars. To realize what thirty
two billions means a few comparative
statements are necessary. The highest to-
tai value of the entire cotton crop OF the
United States in any recent year was less
than $300.O00.0Co. If, therefore, the whole
American cotton crop were sold for 100
vears in succession, and the proceeds ap-
piled to the payment of the worlds In
debtedness-mainly incurred for wars and
war ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS would still remain
an unpaid balance of nearly two billions
Prof. n. c. Adams of Cornell some time
since, calculated that the interest pay
ments alone on these aggregated debts or
the nations equal the value of the labor
of 100000 men working constantly at Sl5o
per day per man. Civilization Is under
