New York, Feb 16.-AddfessiHs
gathering at Carnegie Hall last hlsns
under the auspices of the st. vincent
DePaul society Bishop John Lahcas-
Ter. of Spalding, Peoria, ILLINOIS. re-
ceiyed great applause when ne declareo
great wealth is almost certain 10 ue-
grade the possessor of it. and out OF
all the men who are know TO recken
their possessions in millions, he named
only one. Andrew Carnegie, as man
able to rise above his surroundings.
Bishop Spaulding admitted the great
mower of money, and declared 1T ap-
nenred to be almost the real form OF
power in our day, giving the man
who possesses it hold on things that
neither intellectual power nor faith can
give.
That we might be saved from this
new and damnable heresy. that holds
that this is white mans country
was the prayer offered by Dr. Newell
Dwight Hills, in Plymouth church,
Brooklin, last night. The prayer was
to attend a sermon, Lessons from the
Birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
DR.. Minot j. Savage, in the Unitar-
ian church of the Messiah, yesterday
spoke on the race problem, which, he
said. threatens the future of the re-
public. Slavery, he said, would have
continued to exist in the north as IT
did in the south, had 1t been equally
profitable here. DR.. Savage continued,
"Senator Tillman, whom | heard at
dinner last night, says that IL the social
and political equality are allowed col
ored people, 1t means in his Judgment
gradual mixing, mongrelizing and de-
grading OF the entire people.
"The black man is not the white man,
with colored skin. The great science
of evolution tells us that there are
lyelopments between the position which
the white man occupied and that oc-
cupied by the black have never
been in favor OF the kind OF suffraga
which is conferred upon the people
in this country, either white or black.
/ would give the ballot to persons who
have character and intelligence enough
to make good citizens. But 1t is too
late now for that. The question is.
what are we to do now, and say I
don't know. l would like to have the
colored people scattered over the coun-
| try in groups. Let them have control
OF towns or small cities and let them
learn self government with the ex-
ample Of our methods all around
them
