hoAR ATTACKS ROOT.

Senator Criticises Secretary for Atti-
tude on Negro Problem.
Eulogy of George Washington by Sen
ator George f. Hoar at the Onion
League Club Washington day banquet in
Chicago was turned into an expression
of views on the negro question. with
criticism for Secretary of War Root, and
defense of the views of President
Roosevelt. Senator Hoar declared that
in forty years the present generation had
done something fer the negro, that the
colored man had advanced End that con-
sequently the views os Mr.. Root could
not be upheld.
So strongly did he speak on the qlles-
ton that he was answered by BiShop
Gailor of Tennessee. who gave the south
erners' side of the problem And though
both warmed strongly to theiv sui ject,
their words were at all times tempered
and an open clash avoided. Senator
Hoar said:
Il see that my excellent friend, Mr..
Root. Secretary of War. thinks something
of the same way about Abraham Lin
coin. He says that reconstruction ana
the achievements which followed the
war have been a failure Mr.. Root
thinks that this series OF events in which
all of US who have reached an advanced
age have something to DO has been Il fail
ure in relation TO the negro. Well, now,
let us see. In the first place we have
abolished slavery; they do not own the
negro any more. He Owls himself. They
do not separate the negco's wife from
him or his children from him any more;
they do not whip women or sell their
children. They do not prevent them from
working where they please they do not
make it crime to teach him to learn to
read the Bible. They cannot send his
children to distance from him without
his consent. Well, Is that a failure?"
Bishop Gailor followed Senator Hoar
and declared that he had no intention
of mentioning the negro question until the
Senator had started the discussion. He
said the views of the Southern men
should be gravely listened to, for they
alone had good chance to study the ne
gro question. He said:
I'm the first place, the negro race has
no more earnest, honest, sincere friends
in the world than the people who live
in the Southern States. There is no
section of any country where there are
so many affectionate and loyal friend
ships existing between white and black
as exist in those States. Remember also
that negroes of the full blood have not
been conspicuous for their achievements
even in this country and that it is the
half blood which has attracted our at
tention"

eXas, Iowa and Minnesota Railway Co.
to Run from Lakes to Gulf.
An electric railway, chiefly for freight
business, but which VIII eventually carry
passengers, is to be built from Duluth to
the Gulf of Mexico. John w. Gates and
leading capitalists of the twin cities"

thence TO st. Louis and on to the gulf.
The company will be known as the Tex

PoLYGAMY IN NUTMEG STATE.
Rev. HI. L. Hutchins Says Plural Mar
riage Exists in State.

Rev. III. L. Hutchins, who has been
making a tour of that State in the inter-
ests of the Connecticut Bible Society,
read a paper at a meeting of pastors in
New Haven that startled his hearers.
Mr.. Hutchins said polygamy is practiced
in the eastern part of Connecticut. The
degeneracy Of the inhabitants Of the
town referred to, Mr.. Hutchins said, was
productive of murder and other crimes.
Another feature of life in that section
and in the northwestern part of the State
was the existence of a class of illiterates.
The speaker thought the inefficiency of
the country school was largely respon-
sibzle for such conditions, and he believ-
ed the church was not holding its own in
these districts.
