DEBATE
"Tho Negro Question"
AFFIRMATIVE.

HAROLD RACK.
The negro question as it stands at
the present time, probably furnishes
broader field for discussion, than any
other political question OF the day.
We of the North, cannot realize the
bitter prejudice, existing between the
blacks and the Whites in the South.
This feeling, or prejudice, began when
the Blacks were given equal political
privileges with the Whites, for the
white man, by right of his superior
education and ability, felt that such
weighty matters as governing, and
making the laws of nation, ought TO
be left in his hands. But the cause
of the bitter hatred which exists today,
is that the negroes, instead Of using
this gift of the elective franchise. have
abused it. And how could one expect
them to act otherwise? Their nature,
inherited from generations OF savage
ancestors, united them for responsible
ity of any sort. During the days of
slavery they were fed and clothed by
their white masters. Their labor was
chiefly unskilled labor, and thep plod-
ded through the drudgery OF plantation
life with no thought of improvement,
and no ambition for the future. With
such a history and with this training
of slaves. they could not be fit t.

largely attended. Prof. C. F. Viebahn
presiding. the board of education
occupying the boxes. The decorations
were few but very beautiful Along
the proscenium was a banking of green
foliage and along each side numerous
other flowers. On the stage above the
class hung the motto, calm High" in
large black letters and in front OF the
stage the class pin was attached to
wire, bearing the initials, w. H. S.,
which were very conspicuous. The
decorations were in charge of the ju-
niorsf or which they receive due credit.
The exercises opened at s:15 by few
chosen words from Prof. C. F. Viebahn
who in his remarks said that he was
pleas ed to see such large audience
present, and the interest they took in
the work, after which the class sang
beautiful song. Miss Ellie Whyte
accompanied them on the piano.

And what of Christ? Never did

most ignominious of all Deaths the
death of the cross.
But time has changed the attitude
of the world to these men. Monu-
ments have been raised to their men,
ory. Every possible honor Is paid
them today. Their names have been
engraved on the roll of the world 8

But does recognition after death
amount to much? Is it not pathetic
that it should come too late, when a
word of appreciation in life would have
meant so much?
Mankind advances in knowledge and
intelligence. Is there a correspond
ing advance in its appreciation of it's
truly great and gifted men? Or are
there in our midst today those whose
lives are being wasted for lack of sym
pathy and encouragement? The fate
of SO many rare souls of the past
should make us strive to aid the men
of genius of our own time, even
though we do not fully appreciate
their views. If such result does not
follow, our boasted advancement
amounts to very little, after all. Let
US not leave our gifted men to be ex-
tolled by future generations. Let US
rather cherish and praise the while
we have them with US. Let us show
them that their own contemporaries
are not unmindful of their greatness,
their value to the world.

THE WORLDS LACK OF APPRECI-
ALTON OF HER GREAT MEN.
OLIVE II. JONES.

OLIVE n. JONES.
Every age has its prophets, seers,
and teachers. In the common mass OF
humanity, thoughts are constantly
struggling for utterance, but they are
dim and vague, and elude expression.
Until, 10, one OF the worlds gifted
ones appears, with his keeEer power
of vision pierces the mist and dark
ness. and to him the truth is revealed
in all its splendor. Such men are the
leaders OF the world. They remove the
veil Of ignorance from the minds of
the common people. Without them
there would have been little or no ad-
vancement in the past.
Think what the world owes to it's
men of genius! In what countless
ways they have enlarged and enriched
our lives. 1t is difficult for US who
live in this day and generation to rea-
lize how our entire social life has been
revolutionized by the thoughts and
discoveries of a few great men. Things
are regarded as commonplace today,
which, century ago, the highest
flights of imagination could scarcely
he We conceived possible. The scien-
tist has opened up to US new worlds
undreamed of before. He has changed
mans whole conception of The uni
verse. And what priceless heritage
has come down to us from the great
philosophers and poets of the past!
Piercing the deepest mysteries they
have given US perceptions of the most
incomprehensible things of existence.
They have awakened in humanity
higher ideals, longing for the great
and good things of life. To them we
turn for solace 10 time OF sworrow, and
for inspiration and guidance in time Of
perplexity. Blot out what has been
accomplished by the worlds seers and
teachers, and the human race would
lapse back into barbarism.
Yet in spite of all the great things
these men have done for the world.
how often they have failed to receive
appreciation in their own day! Indeed,

of Patrick Butler, a watcher at the

shooting had no connection with poll
tics. Butler says that while engaged in
a playful contest for cane Armstead
was struck as he passing. Arrnstead
claims that some one hit him In the
mouth with his fist and in return he
shot. Other witnesses Of the shooting
say Armstead had no provocation
whatever for using his revolver. The
bullet pierced Buffers liver and physi-

After the shooting Armstead ran
along Lee street, Fifth avenue and
Smithfield street to the Monongahela
river, followed by an excited crowd Of
five hundred or more men, who kept up
a continual cry OF Lynch him. When
the negro was finally captured the po-
lice had desperate fight with the

eventually got him safely into an en-

simply resolved itself into question
of whether you could put on a naked

On party lines Mayor Charters headed
the democratic ticket, but Of all the
other candidates running with him only

dermen were elected. all others being
republicans The net result is that the
republicans control the board of alder
men and the party leaders claim that

TROY HAS DISASTROUS FIRE.
In Two Hours MIIIion Dollars Damage
ts Done.

Albany, Nov. 3.-Fire which started
at 1850 o'clock tonight in the Citizens
Steamboat line pier at Troy ragged for
two hours before it was under control,
and destroyed several large buildings
on River street, between Broadway and
Second street, including the beautiful
Altruria hall in the old Burdett build
ing, which alone entails a loss of up
ward of $SOOOO0. The buildings burned
included the Western Union office, Rey-
nolds' furniture store and the old CIuett
building, six buildings all told.
BY midnight half a million dollars
worth of property was In flames. The
fire swept up River street and across
Monument square, threatening the
property across the street.
The fire was finally got under control
about 1890 by the falling of the walls
of the southernmost building. This
carried away the electric light circuits
along River street and in view of the
danger to life and additional property
the power was turned off, leaving most
of the city in darkness for an hour.
The Troy Record, a morning news
paper, was driven from its offices by
fire and water, and took refuge in the
offices of the Troy Budget. All tele-
graph communication with Troy was
crippled for an hour,
The loss will exceed s1.0OO.OOO. No
loss of life or injuries to persons are re-
