The negro conference at Tuskeegee
considered many practical questions,
and the advice given their race if fol-
lowed out would make them much
better citizens, raise them in the esti-
nation OF the whites and win their
lasting friendship. The following is
an epitomy of the resolution adopted
and we commend their cOnsld-
Grafton to the race in Virginia: They
declare the faith of the conference in
efforts to secure home and land for
the negro; the exercise OF thrift;
keeping ont OF debt; getting rid OF
the log cabin idea; building OF
churches and schools; lengthening OF
the school term; building of good
public roads; the regular and prompt
payment OF all taxes, and making
agricultural life more attractive. In
connection with the educational in-
terests, a high standard of morality
was urged, and that teachers and
ministers be required to maintain
the highest standards Of living. The
resolutions declare that the moral
condition of the negro race in the
South is improving, and that there
is no evidence that education in
creases crime among the negroes.
They urge harmony and mutual
confidence between the races, and
that the whites put a premium upon
right conduct and high living among
the blacks. The negro is urged to
refrain from crime and to join with
the whites in the maintenance OF law
and order.

The monument was erected over the
grave of Mary the mother OF Wash

this city by the women OF thecountry,
who donated the funds through the
National Mary Washington Monu-

ia the city OF Washington, and now
provides the funds for the care OF the
monument and the beautiful grounds
upon which it is located. An iron
fence encloses the monument while
the front OF the grounds are orna-
mented with granite curbing. lD
one corner OF the grounds the Associ'
alton has erected a handsome granite
Lodge where the keeper resides. The
monument was unveiled May 10Th,
1894, and on that occasion there
were present President Cleve! land,
who delivered the address, the men,
bers of his cabinet, Vice President
Stevenson, the Governor OF Virginia
and his staff and many other distin-

responsibility for the South. In a
recent address he said the South had
walked up in every quarter, and III
almost every sense. And with her
waking "men have found her to be a
giant, tingling with life in all her
nerves and arteries. Never has our
southern home been so alert and
hopeful and aggressive. Not since
the first settlement at jamestown
has her condition been so promising
and inspiring. Surely she is nov
facing the bravest prospect that she
ever witnessed before. But this is a
complicated, dangerous and greatly
important commission. We shall
have in our keeping one thousand
miles OF the most coveted and threat
ened coast in the world. The care
and safety OF the Southern Seas. and
OF the canal shall be under our hands.
Certainly these are tremendous prop
ositions and stormy days are surely
ahead OF us. Our children shall pour
out their lives on many sea and
shore. We shall figure in some OF
the widest and bloodiest conflicts
that the human race has known.
Perhaps no nation of men has been
assigned a more perilous seat, or a
calling OF more consequence to the
