THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

10 have the best elements govern in the
South. His lecture opened with dis
cussion of the Indian question in which
he said:
.'t3arbarIans have rights which oivili-
cation must respect, but barbarism has
no rights in a civilized community.
The wall which has been erected
around is-barism in the form of Indian
reservations should be taken down and
the Indians thrown out into the activi-
ties of civilized life to take care of
themselves.

more difficult, but can be solved by the
came law-by a reversal on the one
hand Of the supreme and unreasonable
confidence in the ignorant negro, and
on the other of the supreme and un-
reasonable distrust of the Shareholder.
1t Is mistake to believe every people

methods, but do applaud the attempt
