ton, Ia which he acknowledged, as

the only hope for the future of the
negro in the United States lay In an
alliance between the colored people and
the Catholic Church. The speaker
claimed that the Catholic Church had

nearly two-score years, has failed to
learn q practical lasson which he has
been poriDg over all this time-that he
must work out his owe salvation. What
he has failed to do religiously or politi-
cally under other auspices he will fail to
do in the fold of the Catholic Church II
he neglects his opportunities or at
tempts to drift thoughtlessly with the

the Southern people have ever been the
best friends Of the colored race. They
understand them more thoroughly and
make reasonable allowances for their
plumbers and improvident acts, while
those OF other sections, who preached
emancipation and flooded the South
with abolition literature, seldom en-
ploy them and hold them as strictly re-
sponsble for their delinquencles as they
do white people. The negro is forcing

has no disposition to ''grind him to

negro to do In the rural sections, and
