| ural address.
Birmingham, Ala, Jan. ia spe.
cial to The News from Jackson, Miss,
says that in his inaugural address de-
livered this afternoon, before joint
session Of the two houses of the Mis-
sissippi legislature, Governor James
K. Vardaman, who was sworn in to-
day, declared that the growing ten
dency of the negro to commit crimi,
nal assault on white women is nothing
more nor less than the manifestations
Of the racial desire for social equal
ity. In strong terms he declared that
education is the curse to the negro race
and urged an amendment to the state
constitution that will place the distri-
button of the common school fund
solely within the power of the legis-
lature. Continuing his discussion of
the negro question, Governor Var
daman said:
AS a race, he is deterioating NOR
ally every day. Time has demon
strated that he is more criminal as
q free man than as 6save, that he is
increasing in criminSiIty with fright
full rapidity, being one-third more
criminal in 1890 than he was in 1880.
THE startling facts revealed by the
census show that those who can read
and write are more criminal than the
illiterates, which is true of no other
element Of our population. l am ad-
vised that the minimum illiteracy
among the negroes is found in New
England, where it is 21.7 per cent
The maximum is found in the black
belt-Louisiana Mississippi and South
Carolina, where it is 65.7 per cent.
And yet the negro In New England is
four and one-half times more criminal,
hundred for hundred, than he is in
the black belt. In the south, Missis.

manifestation of the negro's aspiration
for social equality, encouraged large.
ly by the character of free education

tain.
The older class of negroes are not
responsible for this terrible condition
or for the criminal tendency Of theh
race. Nor do wish to be understood
as censuring them for it. am not
centuring anybody, nor am 1 inspired
by ill-will for the negro, but I am
simply calling attention to a most un.
fortunate and uncomfortable condition
of affairs. What shall be done about
it? Surely something must be done.
My own Idea is that the character OF
education for the negro ought to be
changed. II, after years of earnest
effort and the expenditure of fabulous
sums of money to educate his head
we nave only succeeded In making q
criminal out of him and imperiling his
usefulness and efficiency as a labor
er, wisdom would suggest that we
make another experiment and see if
we cannot improve him by education
of his hand and his heart. There must
be moral sub-stratum upon which
to build, or you cannot make a de-
sirable citizen"
The governor also declares that the
