THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

Reading excerpts from recent
article in the North American Re.
view, by Prof. John Roach Straton
"a northerner, by the. way recalls
to our mtnd a favorite expression of
the late Col, f. H. Watkins, of this
city; to wit. education destroys the
common mind" Whether that is
true or no, the more yon study the
Negro, the more problem he be-
comes.
The accepted theory has been,
that the way to elevate him was to
educate HIM; but the facts and
figures contained in the article
above referred to. contradict this
theory. The broad fact stated, and
proven by statistically information,
is that the higher educated and the
richer they become, the more lust.
fnl, murdernus and criminal. This
Is indeed a serious conclusion of the
case, and one no less startling and
strange than oeplora BILE. 1t is a
conclusion we shall be sorry to come
to; but if true, the sooner we come
to 1t the better. So il is moth ny but
TAR to ourselves and the problem we
are studying, to look the facts and
figures of this eminent authority,
fair in the face. We quote few
salient sentences and paragraphs
from, him az follows:
There was only one case of the
negro's crime against womanhood
during all the days of slavery; =
but since he has been made free bis
increase in crime and immortality
have gone side by side with his
educational advancement"
1.-The census of 1890 shows that the
negro race, though constituting less
than II per cent. of the population
or this country, furnished 30 per
cent. of all the crime. This in
face of the fact that 800 OOO,OOO has
been spent in their education. and
that illiteracy has decreased AZ per
cent y Especially has the
Negroes crime against female virtue
been on the increase
"ln the North, where the negro
has had his liberty for some genera.
lions longer than in the South; where
he Is far better educated. and is
treeSt to follow his natural bent. the
EVIL tendencies prevail in even
greater degree than in the South.
= x La the North in 1890 there
were 7647 criminals to the million of
negro population; in the South only
2,7l6 to the million. In the North
the llliteracy is only 2l.7l per cent,
while In the South it is go per cent. |
1t Is apparent, therefore, that the
negroes of the North, despite the
adva tageous conditions there, are
almost three times as criminal as
those OF the South, although thew
are also about three times as well
educated"
Not only is the negro more crimi-
nal in the North than in the South.
but, dividing the South into groups
OF states, he is most criminal in the
states where he is best educated.
Taxing South Carolina, Mississippi
aud Louisiana together, we find that
thr average negro illiteracy is 65.7

MRS. NATION Is game; and little
as you may think it is rapidly win
ming the sympathy of earnest,
thinking people the country over.
Mrs. Nation is simply undertaking
TO do what the officers of the law
won't do, that is, break up illegal
whiskey joints in Kansas. The
whiskey seller as class stand
mighty pat upon their legal
rights. Encroach upon their terri
tory by even so much as the
hair breadth part of an inch, and
their brlstles are up and they
appeal to the courts. But their
idea OF law is that while it should
control other people and protect
the whiskey traffic, it is not made
in any sense for them to obey, and
they do net obey it; not only thar,
but they hold as mortal enemies all
who seek to compel them to o6ey
the law. In Kansas they have no
law to sustain them, 80 Mrs. Nation
tired of the pusillanimity and
official cowardice of time-serviny
politicians-has taken the cudgel of
determination into her own haads:
and for one we give her God speed.
The time for temporizing with this
giant evil known as the whiskav
traffic, is past. 1t is insidious, sneak
ing, lying and law breaking. Itcan
be only poorly regulated, and in 10
satisfactory sense controlled 1t
ought to be first outlawed, and then
extermlnated, root and branch: for
1t is public enemy, and as such
deserves the public condemnation of
every woman who loves her home,
ana every man who loves his
country.
