movements OF the day are in the interest
OF the individual, in the interest of in

the church as an organization is 10 pro-

Southern Conference for Education and
Of all true educational institutions Is to
educate the individual, hand and head

Ill kindred organizations are doing no.

EDUCATING THE NORTH.

In yesterdays paper we quoted from n
notable address which was delivered on
Sunday evening in Cooper Union. New
York, by the Rev Percy Stickney Grant.
rector OF the Church Of tho Ascension.
On, evolution OF the Negro Question"
Mr.. Grant, first of all. dismissed the sub
feet OF amagamation with the assertion
that mature permanently bars the union
Of the whites and blacks by weakening
the fecundity OF the chlt of such a.
union, and that the attempt to amalga-
mate the two races by marriage would
result in racial suicide through barren
ness.
8 He also contended that the white race
IS the superior race and must exercise
parental care over the black race. and
must hold the black race In sort of
subservjency, even to the extent of gov
eminent control He seemed to agree
with the Rev. DR.. Parlihurst OF New
York. that slavery was not n bad thing
but good thing for the negro, as it
gave him much needed training, and he
declared that that training should be
continued, not of the mind alone, but of
the hand and whole nature Of man as
we'll toward honesty, truth and thrift.
No Southern man could have stated the
case more clearly and forcefully and cor
rectly, from the soutlls point OF view,
and we accept this as another evidence
of the fact that the people of the North
are rapidly coming to clearer and
Burer understanding of the race problem.
We are gratifed to know that the Rev.
Mr.. Grant IS to-day a guest Of the city
of Richmond, having come here with Mr.
ogden's party to attend the Conference
Tor Southern Education. We are glad
10 have so distinguished and so intelli-
gent n Northerner with US, and we take
: OCCASION to remark that this conference
should be called a Conference for North
err Education. The conference has done
great deal toward awakening an inter-
est in the general subject of education In
the South, but we believe that its great
est accomplishment up to this time has
been the education and enlightenment of
The Northern men who have attended
from year to year, They have learned
Z great deal about the race question, he
Pause they have come nither In spirit Of
Investigation, and have met the question
lace to face. They could not have learned
as they have learned by studying the
question from afar. But having come into
the black belt, and having seen the negro
as he Is. and having conferred with the
southerners, who have lived all their
lives with negroes, they have learned the
and arc now dealing with the living truth

ProhibitiOnistS' Call.

The State executive committee
of the Prohibitionists Wednesday
Issued the following stirring call
to their friends all over the State:
TO Mississippians -Onlya very
small number of the counties in
Mississippi now license the dram
shop. In most of these, If not in
every one of them, majority of
the grown white people, including
men and women, are opposed TO
dramshops and would prefer that
their county should be rid of them.
The women cannot vote, but surely
on an issue like this their wishes
should be respected. The dram
shop is nuisance. 1t is an evil
only. Shall we continue TO license
il IN MississippiY That Is the
question. la the present move
ment there are three battles to be
fought. First. we want legisla
turc elected that will submit TO the
people prohibition amendment
to the constitution. Second, we
want the people to adopt that
amendment by popular vote.
Third. we then want the imme-
diate passage of law in accord
ance with this amendment. The
first battle is now on. All prohi-
bition counties should see to il
that their next Legislators are in
sympathy with with this move
meut We are informed that In
some prohibition counties all the
candidates for the Legislature yet
announced are anti prohibitionists.-
This ought to be remedied. Let
US have Legislators whose hearts
are with US. Surely every man
who aspires 10 the legislature ought
to De- willing for the people of the
whole State to vote upon this ques-
ton. The fact that liquor dealers
are flooding the State with anti
prohibition literature is. positive
proof that they see that State pro-
hibition would greatly reduce the
business in Mississippi. Let no
one be deceived by their argu-
ments. Let prohibitionists organ
ize in every county. Let execu-
tive COMMITTEES be appointed and
their names sent TO the secretary
of the State committee at Jack
son. This is the cause of law, or
der and righteousness. 1t is the
cause of childhood, manhood and
womanhood. Let Mississippi be
one State whose soil shall not be
polluted by a single licensed dram
shop"
