The Negro Problem North and
South.

Forty years ago the negro was rag.
a slave; today he is a-problesm.,
The South dlsfranchises him aud
lynches him.. the North: lynches
him and buys his franchise. OF
the two thelNorth uses him the
worse. The South understands
the negro better than the North,
and, on the whole, treats him better. tsl:
It at least gives him what ne
needs-employment; and gives
it freely. But lis chances Of f'Etr1f= en-
ployment in the North grow fewer
every year. 5iS
In Chicago.the condition of the
colored man is rapidly becoming
serious. He must live, and to live
he must have work, but work for
him is getting scarce. One seld om
sees a colored waiter now in q
restaurant or hotel; as q house
servant he is we'll nigh ex-
tipct; few business houses
will employ him in any
capacity, though he produces q
diploma from Yale or Havard we
permit him TO ride in the street
cars with us-which the South
does not-though we give him
plenty of seat room; and we draw 3.
the social line about as strictly as
they do in the South, with none
of the South's compensating kind.
ness in other ways.
The mischief was done early.
The negro was a servitor, and
was well content to remain a
servitor. In an evil day for his
race he was raised to citizenship.
No one cares to seriously defend
the institution Of slavery. 1t ls
indefensible. But there was a
middle ground which was never
taken. We lifted the negro to the
other extreme, and when we placed
him there we turned our back upon
him. For forty years we have "
treated him illogically, unnatur=S
ally, and, IN many cases, inhu-
manly.

The strike In the Occident mine is
said to be wonderfully rich, the ore
being so near solid silver as TO bend up
like bar of lead when broken from
the face of the drift. The ore body is
solid for six feet and the ledge is be-
tween ten aud twelve feet wide. The
discovery was made in running a cross
cut toward the Rip Van Winkle ground,
where no vein or ore outcropped on
the surface. The ore body is a sur
prise to everybody and especially so to
the company. William Weston, gen
eral manager of the company, is at the
Hills inspecting the new find and the
chances for the big prospecting shaft
are now as bright as MONDAY. 1t seems
more than likely from the lay of the
land in White Hills that ore may be
struck by sinking any place within an
