profit and according to the employment
of the negro. His relation to all de-
partments of labor in the South, is one of
the important factors of the industrial
problem, and must be intellgently con-
sidered.
In respect to the special measures
which should be adopted by this conven-
ton in respect to the negro, I do not be-
lieve that anything more than a hearty
general resolution of good viii is neces-
sary. The negro must work out his own
salvation as the white man had to do.
Paternalism is not in harmony with the
idea of our republican government. 1t is
men that constitute the state, not wards
or children. But just as a chain is no
stronger than its weakest link. so a gov
eminent is no stronger than its weakest

God was obliged to come down from heav-

proper committee to formulate a resolu-
ton expressing TO the negro race of the
South a guarantee Of full protection of

land, and an assurance of Southern sym
pathy and guidance in their perfection
as citizens of the United States"

POLICEMAN KILLED AMERICAN.
HIS Led to Discussion of Police
Question In Havana.

Question In Havana.
Havana. April 19-Considerable discus
sion has grown out OF the recent killing OF
an American by Cuban policeman. The
American, 1t appears. was intoxicated
and attacked the policeman, taking away
him dead. The policeman, a youth Of 10,
was promptly discharged from the force
by Chief Cardenas, ON the ground that ne
was not fit for such service. Many Of
the members Of the present police force are
of slight physique ana would probably be
una BILE 10 control an arrested person with
out the moral support Of firearms. Chief
Cardenas says:
If the physical requirements of the
police force are made more stringent it
may prove impossible to get men who are
up to standard. There would he also a
great cutlery. owing to the fact that
only Spaniards and Americans, as a rule,
would be able to fulfill the conditions In
most cases, the Cubans, being smaller and
of less robust physique would fall short
of the requisites.
Gen Ludlow made it an unwritten law
that in Havana the negroes should be ex-
cuded from the police force owing to the
fact that a large majority of
the population are whites, and
also because the principal interests are
controlled by the whites.
$50 far as recognizing the negro ele-
nnent Is concerned, / would fear II would
lead to disagreements between white and
black patriotic men, and / am confident
the townspeopie generally would not show
proper respect for negro police"

Hansbrough and Mr.. Carter, who, by
their proposed legislation were protecting

mailers who were making a business Of
jumping claims.
These people," declared Mr.. Teller with

and since mining was begun in this coun-
try, they have been the curse of every
mining camp They are among the worst
scoundrels that ever went unhung."
without further debate the Alaskan bill
was laid aside. The Senate al $50 p. m.
