FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.

An Unqualified Endorsement Of
Booker T. Wasnington's Idea
From an Authoritative Source
The Races Most Practical
Leader.
From the New York Tribune.
Probably no man in the United
States is better qualified to adYise both
white and black races for their COM
mon good concerning the Negro prob
lem than Booker T. Washington. En-
tirely free from every trait Of the
agitator and demagogue, and candid
in recognizing the Negroes faults and
the practical obstacles in his path, he
is also perfectly self respectful and
courageous in claiming for the black
man his full rights under the Consti-
tuition, and in claiming them as much
for the sake OF the white man as the
black. Mr.. Washington has just pub
lished volume on the "The Future of
the American Negro" which is the
most sensible, practical and clear sight
ed treatment Of that subject that has
challenged attention for a long time.
If every white legislator who is in
clined to vote for laws to suppres and
degrade the Negro as a man and voter,
while prote citing ignorance and crime
in the whites, could read it carefully
and with open mind, he could hardly
fail to be convinced the solution of the
race problem is to help the inferior
race to q higher clvillzstion, lest in
degrading it the superior degrade itself.
And if every hopeless student who
thinks the Negro has no future in
America could once grasp the full
meaning of Mr.. r.Washington's idea and
learn W hat be and others working on
the same plan are doing for southern
prosperity and harmony he would see
that the Negroes salvation and that OF
his white neighbor's is In being the
producer and developer OF the yet un.
developed South.
The South needs skilled Workmen
in every industry and offers splendid
chances to trained Negroes as pro-
ducers, while it has prejudice against
them as politicians or parasites. Mr..
Washington believes that the intelli-
gent Negro should be protected In bis
v,tlne as well as the white man, and
the ignorant white man should be de.
prived of the franchise along with the
ignorant Negro. He wants to see his
race occupying high positions in busi'
ness. pro o,essions and the state, but he
believes that the ideal must be reached
step by step, and that the present duty
of the Negroes as body is to learn
to be law abiding and prosperous
oit;zens who will command the re-
spect of the white man because they
have something that the white man
wants. The best farmer in county
will not be treated with contempt even
II he has black skin. The good dairy
man or carpenter will have place In
life. and his Children will have chances
which he cannot hope for himself.
The prime need of the Negroes Is

ment and prosperity. settled position
of usefulness in their communities.

foundation for conservative, law abid-
Ing, thrifty civilization. The Negroes
need it more than the whites, and they

Week Ending june -, 5 n u. III
( GENERAL \ CONDITIONS.

Il In the Red River valley AZ far
south as the northern boundries Of
Clay and Becker counties there was
no rain during the week; elsewhere
there were scattered showers on
different days, differing greatly IN
amount, except In southeastern
counties, though in the latter dis
3trict there were good rains on the
9th The hardest rains seem to have
extended from about Mcleod
county southwestward to Mobiles,
Rock and Pipest one coun .ies, and in
this area the following amounts Of
rain were measured during the week:
s2:06 inches IN New Ulm; lilo st
5Worthington, and .95 at Granite
Falls. At Campbell, Wilkin county,
there was .92. These local rains
have given relief, at least temporar-
lily, to many sections, especially
south OF the Minnesota river, but
Notwithstanding this, the drought
has had a very serious leffect on all
the small grains, grass for hay, pas
lures and early flax. Except in the
northern counties, spring wheat,
oats and barley are beginning to
head, but it is said that the heads
are very short. Owing to the failure
|of the stooling process the stand is
thin, and the straw is so short that
there must be great loss in gather
ling the rfpened crop. Some CORE
|spondents think thatabundant rains
will greatly benefit all: the small
grains, but it: is hardly probable
that there can be any benefit to
those plants that have begun to
shoot, further than the better filling
of the heads. The late sown grains
are very poor. 1t is believed that g.
|good fax. crop can yet be raised
from newly sown seed if good rains
Ecome soon. Pastures and grass
fields are dry and short, Some
clover is being cut in southeastern
counties where the conditions have
mot been so bad. EARLY corn. and
tpotatoes look we'll where they have
had good care. Abundant rains
looming soon will help corn, potatoes,
pastures, forage crops and gardens.

meeting at the city hall Monday
evening. All aldermen with the ex-
ception Of Martin and Peterson we're
present. The sole business OF the
meeting seemed to be the determin-
ing as to what should be done in
regard to collecting from the county
the back taxes, penalties and in
terest claimed to be due the city.
AT a previous meeting the council
had decided to give Messrs. Lind.
berge & Blanchard, who first called
the attention Of the ouncilmen to
the money they had coming, S3h per
cent Of said money for collecting it,
they to indemnity the city against
all costs and expenses. : The
resolution was vetoed BY Mayor
Nichols. The councilmen held Mon
day evenings meeting for the pur-
pose of arriving at some definite
conclusion. .->. a. r. -.
i, City Attorney Shaw had, during
the meantime, ascertained in round
numbers the amount of money the
city had coming Mayor Nichols as
sisted in the work. l.. H. -,
From 1893 to 1899 they found about
$500 due the city. From 1889 to
to 1892 there was thought to he
about 81, 0oO.3 No records were OBJ
tainable from Which to figure for
the four years just mentioned, which
Is from the time the city was or
ganized.
This would make about 81, 800 due
the city in back taxes, etc. 1, Messrs.
Lindbergh & Blanchard were present
and the matter was discussed at
some length. They expressed their
willingness to undertake the case
for a less per cent provided the city
would assume all court costs.
1T was mutually agreed that the
work was more than could be ex-
pected Of the city attorney at his
presentsalary. An expert accountant
is necessary to do the figuring
which will require a. month or more
Of time. An endless amount of this
labor Is necessary. .I
1t was finally agreed that Lind.
bergh & Blanchard should undertake
the case. They are to collect all
penalties, back taxes and interest
due the city from the county. They
are to receive as their fees 20 per
cent of all money up to $4,000 and IL
