REV. MORRIS ON THE RACE CUES,

Smarting under reflections cast upon
Afro-Americans by other speakers at
The Baptists Congress, now being held
in the First Baptist church., the Rev.
Charles S. Morris, D. D., Of New York.
startled the audience at Tuesday
nights meeting by a fiery defense. OF
his people in language which created a
sensation. 1t was plain, but dignified;
warm, but logical. altogether, as able
and effective a. defense of the race by
one of it's number as has been heard
in Boston for some time. DR.. Morris
convulsed the audience by saying: 1T
seems to me that this Negro problem,
so-called, is discussed in very much the
same way that medicine is admins
tered to- a horse. We never ask the
horse what the matter is with him; we:
simply diagnose his disease and make
him take our prescription. What Is
the matter with US? Under education
our skulls are gradually charging and
our brains are all right; our hearts
are in the right place, our lungs are in

The arthor' Of the, book. on gamblers
and gambling mentions that when he
first came into the world, in 175O, there
was no such thing as faro table ad-
mitted into the houses of people OF
rank and fashion,. that in; his child
hood people had too. much pride to
receive tribute from the proprietor OF
such a machine, and that excessive
gambling was not as a rule carried on
in private houses, but at clubs, where
the "play'' was deeper than. ever was
before or since. One can scarcely inn
agine, however, deeper play at any
period than was carried on in: the
"club-land" of the regency; indeed,
play survived in that most exclusive
country long after Fox: and the wild
prince had given up the dice box. The
daudtes continued lU-ByrOn, Brum-

sambled away the whole of their great
estates, won by sword or lance far
away in "the dead centuries" or load

single night which, would keep their
children and their grandchildren poor

In a recent address, Rev. J. E. Kir-
bye, president of the Atlanta Theo-
logical Seminary, said:
"The work of the church in the
South now is principally among the
Afro-Americans and the duty. OF up
lifting the races is progressing day by
day. A struggle for better education
is being made among the middle-class
whites. The people of the North have
no conception of the awful ignorance
that exists among country people in
the South. In hundreds of the church
es the ministers are ignorant. They
have neither common school educa-
ton nor knowledge of the Bible.
While there are five white churches
to one Afro-American church in the
South the educational tone OF the lat
ter is far the superior. In the last ten
years some advance has been made,
and ministers are obtaining public
school educations as equipment for
their pulpit work.

Archbishop Ireland was the guest
Of honor at the Lincoln Club banquet
at the Auditorium in Chicago Thurs
day. His address on Lincoln was
grand. One of the most pleasing por-
tons was as follows:
''The republic is what she is because
she has vitality remained what Lincoln
intended her to be, what Lincoln babe
her to be, a government of the people,
for the people and by the people. This
is what she must remain if she is still
to live and reign. The flag must mean
equality before the law in civil and
political rights. 1t matters not what
a mans place of birth, what his re-
ligion, what the color of his face,
if he is an American citizen, the laws
of the land must shield him, the favors
of the land must flow upon him. To
announce, for instance, that the citl-
zen who is black must not aspire to
political Office, must not approach
the ballot box, is to war against Amer
lean institutions. To hold populations
in perpetual tutelage, whether on our
immediate continent or in islands be-
yond the seas is to set aside Lincoln's
principles"

to-day unanimously passed the follow
ing resolutions indorsing the bill in
itroduced by Senator Hanna allowing
pensions to ex-slaves: -.
| whereas, There was bill intro
duced in congress this week by, re-
quest to bestow a pension upon all
old and destitute ex-slaves; be it +.
"Resolved, by Camp Hardee No: 49,,
United Confederate Veterans, of Bir-
.mingham, Ala, That We heartily in
idorse this bill and sincerely hope that
congress act upon it and give to all
worthy ex-slaves, who are in real need,
"a pension sufficient to Keep them from
suffering and want. A most kindly
feeling (almost that of comradeship)
prompts us to express ourselves in
this matter, realizing the fact that
the Southern slave was not the cause,
.by any act of his own, of the shedding
of one drop of blood in the Civil War.
On the contrary, he remained on the
farms peaceably and quietly laboring
day by day without a murmur to feed
and clothe the Southern arm fighting
at the front.
"Since the war he has been abiding
and industrious and the smallest num-
Der has been guilty of crime, We feel
that the ex-slave and the ex-Confed-
crate soldier will go down in history
together, and, too, in a very strange
relationship-the one fighting to keep
the slave in slavery; the other by his
labors furnishing the meat and ap-
pliances to carry on this warfare
without one word of protest or COM
plant from him.
"For these two reasons, and for his
uniform conduct since the war, we and
the conservative Southern people en-
terrain for him most cordial and
true friendship, and sincerely hope
that the present congress will give
him a pension sufficient at least to
keep him from real want and suffer-
ing:

resolutions be published in the New
York Herald with request that othr
