ment of our population. | am advised
that the minimum illiteracy among
the negroes is found in New England,
where it is twenty-one and seven
tenths per cent; the maximum is
found in the black belt-Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina-there
it is sixty-five and seven-tenths per
cent. And yet the negro in New Eng
land is four and one-half times more
criminal, hundred for hundred, than
he is in the black belt. In the South,
Mississippi particularly, l know he is
growing worse every year. You can
scarcely pick up a newspaper whose
pages are not blackened with the &C.
count of an uncomfortable crime COM
mitted by negro brute, and this
crime, l want to impress upon you, is
but the manifestation of the negro's
aspiration for social equality, encour-
aged largely by the character of free
education in vogue, which the State
is levying tribute upon the white peo
pie to maintain. The better class of
negroes are not responsible for this
terrible condition, or for the criminal
tendency of their race. Nor do wish
to be understood as censuring them
for it. | am not censuring anybody,
nor am | inspired by i'll will for the
negro, but l am simply calling atten-
ton to most unfortunate and uhen-
durable condition of affairs What
shall be done about it? Surely some
thing must be done. The white people

this destructive tendency. The State,
for many years, at great expense to
the tax payers, has maintained a sys-
tenn of negro education, which has pro-
duced disappointing results, and / am
opposed to the perpetuation of that
system. My own idea is that the char.
acter of education for the negro ought
to be changed. If, after forty years of
earnest effort and the expenditure of
fabulous sums of money to educate his
head, we have only succeeded in MAX
ing a criminal out of him and impair
ing his usefulness and efficiency as a
laborer, wisdom would suggest that we
make another experiment, and see If
we cannot improve him by educating
his hand and his heart. There must
be a moral substratum upon which to
build, or you cannot make desirable
citizen. The negro as a race is devoid
of that element He has never felt

the only process by which he has ever

Thus far what l have said on the
subject of education has been with ref

What shall we do with the negro?
Certainly the education suited to the
white child does not suit the negro.
This has been demonstrated by forty
years of experience, and the expendi-
ture in the Southern States of nearly
three hundred millions of dollars. 1t

that freedom, equal educational facili-

would have the effect of improving his
morals and make a better man of him
generally. But it has not l am sorry
to say. AS a race, he is deteriorating
morally every day. Time has demon
strated that he is more criminal as
free man than as a slave, that he is
increasing in criminality with fearful
rapidity, being one-third more crimi-
nal in 1890 than he was in 1880. The
startling facts revealed by the census
show that those who can read and
