low, etc.), can never lesult other than in
m~ougrelizatiOn.
I repeat that this i the paramount dan
ger that confronts the American people
from this source or from any other
source. I have more han once urged IN
these columns that the racial danger which
overtops and over-balances all others is
the danger Of racial amalgamation.
In separation of the races, were it Drac-
ticable. lies the only final solution OF the
whole problem. Southern statesmen, and,
in fact. the general Intelligence OF the
South arrived at this conclusion more
than a century ago. Nor was this con
ciusion the result Of mere theory or alb
stract reasoning. With a prescicnce
founded on a closer knowledge Of the ne
gro they saw that the welfare Of both
races imperatively demanded separation.
Even at that early date the South had
in the free negro IN lis midst an object
lesson Of the most alarming kind a. to
the evils thai would result to both races
when the negro, freed from all restraint.
was left to come in contact with the worst
element in the white race. They saw that
the free negro deteriorated rapidly from
his condition as a slave, or probably from
MS COnQltlOn IN Africa. IHty SdN the
gradual growth Of miscegenation between
free negroes and the lowest class OF white
women. In these frictionicss days before
the incendiary work Of the abolitionist
set the races at war and before the South
fully aWokc to the abysmal danger that
yawned IN her path, m!s~cegcnatIon OF this
kline was far more ommon than l. now
generally believed. When in the conven-
ton Of 1885 the question Of free negro dis
reimbursement was being discussed, Judge
| CASTOR mentioned incidently that this
class had largely originated through the
of slave negro men and the low
est class of white women, though 1T IS
true that a good many originated from the
Indian as | have shown in former articles.
Looking across centuries, gazing over
the smoke Of strife which e~nshroudcd later
generations our forbears saw all these
things in the white light of verify and OF
truth.
In the light of these facts the South be
came violently opposed to emancipation
except when followed by immediate colon
i@zation. The laws OF the Southern States.
as a rule, prevented emancipation only on
these terms. But for the unfortunate and
disastrous Interference of the visionary
abolitionists of the North the plan for
freeing and deporting the negroes would
now be in active operation, with q vast
majority of the race already beyond the
seas, where we could no longer harm them
or get harm from them.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Foraker and Clay Defend Quay's
Statehood Bill Coup.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The Senate pro-
ceedings to-day were unmarked by any
lively debates such occurred yesterday.
Mr.. McLaurin, OF Mississippi, urged adop-
ton of the Rawlins resolution calling on
the secretary of war for the evidence in
certain courts-martial cases in the Philip
pines on the ground that the officers of the
army In a number of Instances had brutally
treated Filipino men and women, and he
wanted them weeded out Of the army.
Mr.. Lodge concluded his remarks in oppo-
sition to the omnibus statehood bill and
Mr.. Bard, of California, also spoke in oppo-
sition to it,
Just before the Senate adjourned Mr.. For
aker, of Ohio, took occasion to say that
the proposition of Senator Quay to tack
the statehood bill on an appropriation bill
was not extraordinary. Legislation had
been placed on appropriation bills before in
the Senate. Mr.. Clay, of Georgia. ex-
pressed the same view in a few remarks.
House bills were passed appropriatlng
5000 for the First Baptist Church OF Car
tersville, Ga. destroyed during the civil
war by the United States, and granting to
Nellie Eft Feen certain lands in North Da-
kota Mrs. Feen is the wife of a China
man who made the original filing, which
was rejected by the land office. The bill
has heretofore met with opposition In the
Senate.

whether the present demand is reasonable
or not. but the miners should remember
that there is a limit to the possible in
crease of wages and a line beyond which
the operators cannot be expected to go.
Tie latter claim that most of the bitumin-
Gus coal mined during the last year has
been sold on contract or closed prices and
that they have not profited to any great
extent by the prevalent high prices.
Whether they have or not. it cannot be ex-
pected that present prices will continue
for any great length of time, and it would
hardly be fair to make them basis for
wage scale to last for whole year. The
miners only guess at the cost of pro-
duction and marketing and the net profits
of the operators. The latter are the best
judges of what they can afford to pay,
and while they should deal literally with
the miners, they should not be held up
and compelled to submit to unreasonable
demands. There must be middle ground
on which both parties meet and ad-
just matters satisfactorily.
The conference itself is a sign of the
growing good feeling between operators
and miners, and its beneficial results for
some years past fully justify its annual
meeting. At its meeting in this city last
year the conference adopted resolutions de-
claring:
That this joint movement is founded
and that IL is to rest upon correct business
ideas, competitive equality and upon we'll
recognized principles of justice.
That, recognizing the contract relations
existing between employer and employe,
We believe strikes and lockouts, disputes
and friction can be generally avoided by
meeting in joint convention and by enter
ing into trade agreements for specified pc
RODS of time.
That we recognize the sacredness and
binding nature of contracts or agreements
thus entered into and are pledged in honor
to keep inviolate such contracts or agree
ments.
That we deprecate discourage and con-
denim any departure whatsoever from the
letter or spirit OF such trade agreements or
contracts. unless such departure is deemed
by all parties in interest for the welfare
OF the coal-mining industry, and for the
public good well, and that such depar-
ture is first definitely, specifically and mu-
| tually agreed upon by all parties I'm in
| terest
! The spirit of this resolution was faith
| fully observed by the bituminous miners in
refusing to violate their contracts to join
in the strike of the anthracite miners. 1t
is to be hoped it may actuate both parties
| in the present conference and help them
to reach a satisfactory agreement for the
| coming year

So much has been said of the recent at
tendance of two or three colored people at
a recent reception at the White House that
1t seems proper TO give the report of the
Washington correspondent of the New
York World relative to the matter. as fol-
lows:
The exact facts concerning the negro
guests at the White House reception to
the judiciary are these: John b. Dancy, re-
corder of deeds for the District of Column
bia. is a negro. He was appointed by the
President. Negroes have held this office
ever since the civil war. Dancy, In COM
mon with the whole list of District of Co.
lumbia officials, invited to the Judi
ciary reception. He went and took two ne
gro women with him. They went early
shook hands with the President and stood
for an hour or so in one corner of the east
room. They did not attempt to mingle with
the guests Nobody made any fuss about
their being there. Nobody left on their ac-
count Negroes have often been to the
White House receptions.
Doubtless the foregoing is an authentic
report of what occurred and of what has
caused long and indignant reports to be
sent to newspapers. particularly in the
South. 1t is a very little thing to make SO
much noise about.
