only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iufamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-

seemed to meet the same fate. They
 mixed and amalgamated with the in-
 ferior inhabitants, and the result has
 been a fearful lowering of the level of
 civilization.
 The history of the world shows that the offspring of such amalgamation in-
 herit vicious traits and weak physical
 characteristics to a much greater ex-
 tent than they inherit virtue and physi-
 cal strength.
 No doubt it is knowledge of these facts that has always impressed the English people in their colonial invasions all over the world, and the history of the English colonization shows that they. have never mixed with the inferior races of invaded countries.
 This example, handed down to our forefathers who peopled this country, had taught them that the strictest possi- ble adherence to this rule was absolute ly essential to the maintenance of a high civilization. and the question of estab- | fishing laws and customs which would do absolute justice to the inferior race | without risk of mourning the evil effect l of their presence, exercised the best tal- | ents and thoughts of our ancestors. If. instead of these great and good men who settled what is now Maryland, 1 Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, that

country, one of three conditions was in- evitable:
 First the invaders might absorb and finally exterminate the aboriginal in- habtants Second, they might be driven out by the original possessors of the country Third, they might be absorbed by the original inhabitants.
 The first condition mentioned was what happened with regard to the North American Indians. There was no ab- sorption or amalgamation; they were driven westward step by step as the white man advanced
 Rome in its greatness and power seem- ed to absorb the people of the various tribes and nations which inhabited what is now Italy, and they were brought into what became the Roman Empire. The slight difference in race of these people was such that their mixture and anal gamation were natural, and by no means dsadvantageous. The Ptolemites who invaded and controlled Egypt, though they ruled with great power and ability for nearly three centuries, finally be- came absorbed and amalgamated with an inferior race until there was no trace left to tell that such a great people had once existed.

 Leibnitz said:
 s'The way to reform the human race is to reform the education of the young. he good education of youth is the first foundation of human happiness"
 Politicians may declaim upon the dan gers which lie in the path of our repuh lie. They may tell of shoals upon which the ship of state will be grounded, and rocks upon which it may be dashed to atoms, but so long as we have educa- tional advantages we need have no fear for he perpetuity of republican institu- tions
 In his first message to the first Con gross Washington gave expression of thi truth in these words:N
 Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. In ono in which the measures of government receive their impressions so immediately from the sense of the community as in ours, 1t is approximately essential"
 In his eighth annual message Wash ington said:
 Promote thou, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the gener- al diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of government give force to public opinion it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened"
 That the leading minds of our countr. at this time fully appreciate this is shown by the liberal expenditure of money for this purpose by state and mu- nicipal organizations, and the further fact that of late years. in the United States alone $100OO0, coo has been annual ly contributed by private donors to ed ucational ends.

NEGROES DIFFER WIDELY
 IN INTELLIGENCE.


 Many persons in considering the sub feet seem to have over looked the fact that negroes differ very widely in intel ligence I have seen vast numbers or negroes in the rice plantations or South. Carolina and Georgia that are as far below the negro who has been raised on the upper plantations as the lowest white Is below the most cultivated ana best educated people.
 Tt Ia nrohable that those writers who contend that the negro is incapable Of education have this class in their minds. but these negroes are comparatively few in number. But even this low order or being would be much improved by prop CT moral and intellectual training, ana instruction in the line of their calling would make them better and more valu- ahle laborers. and every one who has lived in a negro country will realize that it is the intense ignorance or the negro
 masses which enables few unscrupu-
 lous men to lead them into acts or vio-
 lence and crime.
 Then, again, there are writers who go
 to the other extreme and contend that the negro mind is susceptible of the hiebest culture. They most probably have seen few of the race, and they seem to have in their minds such negroes as Booker T. Washington, William H. l Council and Frederick Douglass | Of course these are exceptional cases l and no discussion concerning the negro question would In any way apply te them. do not concur with those who take l the ungenerous. unchristian ana un- American view that negroes should not he taught to be good mechanics and farmers because 1t might enable them

GOOD INTENTIONS
 BUT MISTAKEN METHODS.

Since the negro has been free I believe the people of .he North and the people of the South have been equally desirous to protect him In every right, and do all in their power to elevate his condition.
 Unfortunately, there was too much in the bearing of the people of the North to impress the negro that he was in all

richest and most powerful and enlighten- ed of all nations. 4
 No grander, better people ever lived in any land than those who settled in that part of our country which finally became known as the slave-holding states. From them descended the states men, warrors and jurists who perform ed a great part in establishing our country upon a firm foundation.
 They realized the responsibility which vas necessarily involved in the negro 1uestion. A race of people so manifest ly different from the Anglo-Saxon as to be a distinct, separate species, was. by force of circumstances, thrust among them In such numbers as to. in many localities, far outnumber the original white inhabitants. Our ancestors brought with them from Europe the highest character of civilization that ex- isted on earth, and our system of gov ernment, in which every one was fac tor, constantly elevated and improved what is called American civilization" TEACHINGS

 | ly in the hands of the people who, by | constant association with them, had | learned their characteristics the ques- | ton was managed In a method beneficial | to both races. But in just so far as the | destiny of the negro fell under the contol | of those who were ignorant of his pe- l culiar traits. troubles and turmoil seem l ed to commence.
 The picture painted by Uncle Toms | Cabin gave a very distorted and incor- rect view of the condition of the negro | In the Southern states. There were, no l doubt. instances of great wrong and hardships inflicted upon them. But the general condition which surrounded the negro slave was such as to elevate him far above the conditions which existed 1 in the wilds of Africa from which he | came.
 | Some of the communications to the Journal argue against negro education upon the ground that over hundred million dollars has been spent upon ne- | gro schools, and yet vice and crime | among the people of that race are great 1 CT than where no such efforts were made l for their education.
 l Those who make that argument forget 1 that the majority of negroes when slavery existed enjoyed most excellent 1 moral and religious training, very diff 1 ferent from the emotional something to 1 Wn1cn many oI them are HOW ueNOtcC l and termed by them religious teachings. With comparatively few exceptions the slave owner lived upon his plantation with his slaves. They were protected | and kindnesses were extended to them far greater than were usually enjoyed | by laboring men in mines and work Of | that character. The negro slave was the property of his master. He would not permit him to be overworked, and his health and well-being were guarded with the greatest care. One of his main sources of wealth was the natural in- crease. and early marriages were en- couraged, and the greatest care taken to preserve the chastity of the negro women. Of course in the alluvial bot toms of the Mississippi and Arkansas, and on the rice plantations where the overseers, some of them rough and un- scrupulous, had control. other conditions sometimes existed, but they were the exceptions and not the rule.
 It is also true that in some instances where estates were divided and in cases of bankruptcy or business mis- fortunes, the slaves were separately disposed of but these were rare excep- tions, and, as a rule. great care was taken to keep families together.
The age-herald., 1901-12-22

respects equal to the whites. and there fore entitled to every privilege which they enjoyed. Many people from the Northern states, actuated sby mistaken philanthropy encouraged this idea. while in other cases interruptions white over these deluded beings by eneourag- ing them in the belief of his absolute equality. If not superiority, to the whites.
 To these evil teachings we can trace nearly all the turmoils. strifes and suf- ferings of the Southern negro.
 These mischief makers, some innocent ly and some intentionally, have commit ted this error.
 Instead of teaching the negro that he must elevate himself and better his con- dition by personal effort-by the acduisi- ton of knowledge and by hard labor: in other words, advancing his condition the same as has been done by the white race much of the teaching has been to im- press the negro that he is already equal to the whites in every respect and 1t Is his duty to himself to assert this equality.
 Some idea of the effect of even a little of such teaching can be imagined if we consider the effect upon school boys if toId they know more than their teachers. and that they were unreasonable and cruel and ought not to be obeyed, or the effect upon soldiers If told the same with regard to their of1cers.
 The true friend of the colored man Is he who impresses upon him that so far from being equal to the whites he is very inferior. The negro should also be impressed that the only elevation that he has received above barbarian has been by associating with and having the advantages of the example and teachings of the whites
 If any argument is necessary to con- Asl H..Fa arft 4rr1sH have only to tell him that Africa pos- sesses as good soil, as valuable timber. as rich and aboundant minerals and every other element of wealth that Is possessed by the most enlightened and prosperous countries, and yet the ne- groes of Africa have remained in an ab- solutely barbaric state. except in those localities where to some extent. they have been thrown under the control of the whites.
The age-herald., 1901-12-22
SOUTHERN VIEW
 OF SLAVERY.

That many of the great statesmen of that time doubted that negroes being held as property would be an advantage to that section Is abundantly proven.
 The first settlers under Oglethorpe in Georgia prohibited slavery for a period of twenty years, and the repeal of the law was secured by the influence of ship owners, who desired to extend the mar ket for the sale of slaves which they brought from Africa
 Thomas Jefferson and other great statesmen were very emphatic in their opposition to the permanence of the in- stitution.
 The constitutional convention which framed the fundamental law under which we live was largely dominated by South ern men. It's president was George Washington of Virginia. and the most prominent and influential member was Thomas Madison of the same state.
 In all discussions upon the slavery question the tendency of the Southern states was to oppose the importation of slaves, and upon the question of per- hitting the importation of slaves, which meant the continuation and extension of slavery, the tendency of the shipping in terests of the Northern states was to favor 1t, while the Southern states were generally against 1t.
