NINE.TENTHs WANT TO DO RIGHT.
Law, Properly and spe eddy Administered
Can Control Bad Negroes.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The negro problem was stated by Henry
Grady in the following words: THE future holds a
problem in solving which the South must stand
alone. This problem is to carry in her body polite
two separate races nearly equal in numbers. She
must carry these races in peace, for discord means
ruin; she carry them separately. for assmila
tions means debasement; she must carry them in
equal justice, for this she is pledged in honor
and in gratitude; sho must carry them unto
the end for in human probability she will be
quit of them"
Since these words were spoken by Mr.. Grady the
negroes have become a migratory race in n sense
that this could not be said of them in the past.
They now found in every State and Territory in
the Union. Alaska is not without their representa-
tives. Even Oklahoma has 10000. New-Jersey has
70000; Illinois, 5000; Ohio and New-York nearly
100000 each: Pennsylvania more than 15O 000.
The solution OF the problem twenty or thirty years
ago might have been with the South alone. but it is
not so to-day. But it concerns them more than
others. because the great bulk of the negro popu-
Iation is in the South. Climate, If othey factor

numbers than elsewhere in land in the time TO

While it is possible for this people to migrate to
some other part of the land. IL is not likely that
they Will so far north. The climate in a few years
would do what some may wish-exterminate the
Mr.. Grady saw that the South would be the home
that it would be possible for white ard bIacS TO i've
together in harmony This is the opinion of a large
majority of the people, North and South.
The question then arises, What be done TO
bring about happy n contamination?
Since all true and permanent advancement IS

In view of the defendants claim that the prop

says the court q am convinced that the sale would

POWDER BOAT ABLAZE.
Flames Ertinguished by Use of the
Chicago's Pumps.

Fire broke out in the after hold of the navy
yard tug Pontiac while she was carrying one
thousand pounds of black saluting powder to
the cruiser Chicago, off Tompkinsvile, yester-
day. The fire started from some unknown
cause and will be the subject of a special in
vestigation Luckily it some distance away
from the powder, which was contained IN ten
cans. holding one hundred pounds each.
When the fire was discovered the Pontiac was
nearing Tompkinsville, and Tugmaster MCGEE
ordered q full head OF steam in order that the
big fire pump of the cruiser Chicago might be
brought into action as possible
There was much excitement on the Chicago
when they read the signal flying from the swiftly
approaching tug, for it was known that she
was carrying load of powder, and it was con-
jectured that explosion might occur at any
time The officers aboard the cruiser were much
relieved when the Pontiac ran uD alongside
and reported that the fire was not near the
powder. It took only n few minutes for the
large streams of water from the Chicago to
drown out the blaze.
After transferring the powder to the cruiser
and pumping the water out of the after hold, the
Pontiac returned to the yard. Tugmaster MCGEE
reported that he unable to explain the
origin of the blaze. The Pontiac is almost con-
stantly in use carrying ammunition between the
naval magazine at Iona Island, the navy yard
and the ships, and the precautions against fire
are exceptionally thorough.
