OFFER LIGHT ON
THE RACE QUESTION
Negro Leaders Give Their Ideas as to
Remedy for Existing Evils.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26.-The
views Of conservative negro leaders in
this city on the race question have been
formulated at a conference between
Rev. DR.. Dean Richmond Rabbit, Of
the Church of the Epiphany, Brooklyn,
N. Y, and the following prominent col
ored citizens: Rev. Francis J. Grimke
pastor Of the Fifteen Street Baptist.
church; Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard
university; Judson W. Lyons, register
of the treasury; John G. Dancy, record
er of deeds of the District of Columbia;
DR., O. M. Atwood, Thomas r. Clarke
and Whitefoild Mckinley. DR.. Rabbit
has devoted much time to the study Of
this question and was chosen at the re-
cent Chautauqua meeting to reply to
the argument of John Temple Graves.
The composite views expressed in sign
ed opinions of these eight colored lead
ers, and submitted 10 DR.. Babbitt, fol-
low:
The spreading of race prejudice Is
occaSioned by appeals to race passion
by politicians. The cure for the preju-
dice is the application of Christian
morals and religion and just execution
Of the laws. The fourteenth and f1f-
teenth amendments to the constitution
should be held intact. It Is not the de-
sire, wish or purpose of the negroes, as
a race, to seek, maintain, emphasize or
teach social equality with the whites as
a consequence of equal political rights,
and they urge strongly that7the negro's
education should be limited to indus
trial training. They believe that the
number of crimes charged to the race
has been grossly exaggerated by their
enemies; that the real facts should be
collected and published, and that the
clergy of their race should teach
strongly against these crimes and
against intemperance.
They urge thorough organization
of their race under capable and re-
spected leaders and an appeal to the
press and to the moral and religious
sentiment of the country, and especially
to the white clergy. They oppose the
idea Of a separate political party.

long continued, would bring distress.
In whatever proportion these causes
may be mixed the effect is there; and
he is no designing prophet of evil, but
merely a faithful chronicler of the facts
of his time, who says so.
1t is the part of wisdom to prepare
for this lessening of activity. and wise
men have done so. No part of the
country will be less affected by it than
our own. It is felt in the great centers
of manufacture and of trading But it
cannot and does not affect the products
of the soil, the profits of those who deal
In them, the business that is based
upon their transfer from hand to hand.
The year sees good crops and promises
to maintain prices more than good.
That assures to the Northwest a con-
enjoyed; and all it's business is so well
based and so free from speculative adj
mixture that we may look the future in
the face with equanimity. That this
future, for the country as whole, is
less brilliant than it was because Of I'M
wise policies and acts intended to sacri-
fiee industry to a mere political pur-
times could deny.

ExPEDITlNG THE MAILS.

The GIob this morning prints
number of interviews with business
men on the advantages that were ex-
pected to result from the establishment
Of the commercial substation in con-
nection with the St. Paul postofhce. 1t
is clearly apparent that those ad-
vantages have not materialized.
Nearly every downtown business
house has had convincing proof that
the commercial station is rather a
hindrance than a help in the delivery
of incoming mail. Every man whose
work brings him into contact with the
operation of the commercial station
feels that there is something wrong
with a system that results in the de-
livery of mail eighteen hours after its
arrival at the station. The system is
wrong and should be corrected.
The men who talked to T he G lob e
were not inclined to be severe in their
comments on the system in use. They
have had plenty of evidence of the in
efficiency of the service. Many of them
had preserved envelopes showing the
commercial station stamp Of p. m
which had been delivered to the adj
dressee at 9 the following morning. T h e
G. o b e has on hand several such evil
dences of the ineapacity of the COM
mercial station to expedite the delivery
of the mail.
1t is the duty of the postal authori-
ties to locate such glazing faults in the
system as are shown. The commercial
station really appears to interfere with
the prompt delivery of the mail If it's
establishment has added to the work
of handling the mail or interferes with
rapid delivery. let it be abolished. We
can much better get along without the
luxury of a commercial station than
without our letters. The matter is
earnestly commended to the attention
of Postmaster McGill.

ONE YEAR AMONG
DECEASED EPISTLES
Large Amount of Plumber Went to tho
Dead Letter Office.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26.-The
annual report of the operations of the
dead letter Office for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1903, states that 1t is
made to appear that there has been a
large and steady increase in its annual
receipts, which Is due, it is stated. to
the great and constant increase in the
volume of matter passing through the
mails.
The total receipts for the year were
something over 100000 pieces, the
largest in the history of the office, ex-
ceeding those of the preceding year by
some $4,000 pieces.
OF the aggregate number 8,8e5, 205
pieces were opened. The money found
in opened letters amounted to $48, 634,
but this sum included money Generally
coin) found loose in the mails or in
postof1lces and consigned to the dead
letter office. Commercial paper found,
such as drafts, checks, money orders,
etc, repres ented face value of $1,493,-
563. The number Of merchandise par
cells received was $50, which were
restored to the owners as far as pos
sible. photographs were found in 219.-
955 letters and parcels. Letters which
contained postage stamps in varying
amounts, from / cent upward, num-
bered 249,955. The domestic misdlrect-
ed letters received numbered 554,2OL
There were 131. 1902 letters held for post
age.
Under the regulations deliverable
merchandise matter is to be hereafter
held for one year, instead of two, as
formerly, before being sold, and this
change rendered necessary an addi-
tional sale during the year. The first
sale was held in December, 1902, and
the gross proceeds were $685.. The
second occurred in February, 1908, and
the gross proceeds were 1924.

THE FuTILITY OF REVENGE.

A man in the West somewhere re-
for one thing and that to get even"
as he expressed 1t, with a person he
regarded as his enemy. Not knowing
what was the provocation or cause Of
his luminosity, nor indeed the charac-
ter of the man ii Question, it is still
possible to put him down as anything
but far-seeing Individual Those who
have lived for a long time. or indeed
even those who haye,nst lived long, but
are intelligent ana wise, know that
there is nothing TN the world so futile
as desire for revenge.
Time, that wonderful, silent power,
is the rectifier. tie pacihcator, the ad-
juster. the aveHgee Time, behind
which abides tifeless Providence
which never forgetsi never overlooks
and never makesfa mistake. The man
who says he lives for revenge either
does not know or is too fatuous to
realize that if his enemy has undone
him, time, ruthless and unforgiying.
will undo his enemy and deal blow for
blow. To want to arrogate to our
selves the rights and prerogatives of
Providence-vengeance is mine, saith
the Lords to show ourselves igno-
rant of life and the eternal justice of
time. A spirit of revenge, aside from
its moral aspect, is the height of UNI
wisdom
This Is a world of compensation.
What we give weAget, but what we
take. we lose. If we are just, we re-
ceive justice in return; ii we deal. fair
ly by our fellow men, we need not fear
that they will undo us. Sometimes we
wait many weary years for the mills
of the gods to grind and we wonder
whether our faith can hold out But
as sure as time are the compensations
of life, and as certain as death itself
are the punishneIits of wrong doing.
When men ill-treat ils and render evil
for good, 1t is only the shallow man
who plans revenge In the ultimate
analysis of things there is a balance
kept in which no mistakes are ever
likely to occur, ana IN which sooner or
later every man receives full justice.
If we render evil, to us viii evil come;
if We do good, and deserve reward, no
human power can stop or stay its
coming.
It would be well when bordering up
on the subject of revenge and its flu
tility to remember the words of st.
Paul-than whom few have been wiser
lin writing to Timothy: Alexander
the coppersmith,' said he. hath done
me much evil; the Lord will reward
him according to his works.
