NEGRO PROBLEM.
Governor of North Carolina Writes His
Views

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
RALEIGH, N. c., May 20, 1905.
Gov. r. B. Glenn, in answer to a tele-
gram sent to him by the New York Herald,
asking the question, 'Will the negro PROB
lem be best solved by wise tolerance ana
education or by congregation and deporta-
tion?' SAYS: Treat the negro kindly, but
at the same time with firmness. Be just to
him and take interest in his welfare.
Educate them in heart and hand as well as
head, giving them industrial education and
supplying them with work suitable TO their
requirements. Make them better citizens
by teaching them honesty, thrift, purity,
II nth and the value of legal and moral OBJ
legations, thus forming character. Stop all
twaddle about negro problems; 1t Will ad-
just itself Under above treatment, and there
will be no need of deportation. Exercise
toward them Christian forbearance and
liberation and instill into them higher
ideals of life and of responsibilities and we
can make of the negro a good and needed
class of citizens"
Gov. Glenn in recent address before
the colored A. & M. College and its grad
Va ting class at Greensboro, defined his po-
Sition in regard to the negro; pleased them
and removed any fears as to his attitude
toward them being unfriendly. He gave
timely advice intermlXed with common
sense, urging character and industrial edu-
cation as all-impOrtant to their race, TO-
gether with coed manners. The next gem
GRAFTON, he said, should be raised with just
appreciation of honesty, virtue and correct
habits of life. Poteness costs nothing, but
is very valuable requisite and very neces-
sary to success Education Is the best thing
TO-. the negro provided it is put to the right
use. Take all the education you can get
and let it help you to be better black
smith, a better carpenter, better farmer.
and a better mechanic. In calling attention
to the fact that many negroes were leaving
the state, he told them frankly If they
wanted justice and would be just, they
could get the education, but also told them
plainly that North Carolina would not edu-
cate them for them to go elsewhere to live.
and also assured them that if they would
only accumulate some property and save
some money to help pay some of the eX-
penses there would be no question of their
having schools for their instruction and up
building.

were Gov. E. c. Stokes of New Jersey and
Gov. r. B. Glenn of North Carolina and
their staff officers The exercises were at
tended with the highest enthusiasm and
lusty acclaim, and there was exhibited be-
tween these two states the fullest fraternal
spirit. Veterans from both north and south
jointly decorated confederate and Union
graves, and nothing akin to sectionalism
occurred to mar the occasion.

Gov. Montague Resumes.

Gov. Montague, who has lost a month IN
the very height of the campaign because of
his protracted Illness and the time required
in which to recuperate. has returned to the
city and announces that he is to take the
stump Monday, and will thereafter, unless
his health should became affected, make as
many speeches he possibly can without
neglecting his public duties. 1t Is expected
that the governor will make reply to the
statements of Senator Martin concerning
the governors attack on the senator. Ger
tainly the state debt matter and the Call
senatorial resolution, regarding which the
governor severely criticises the claims and
action of the senator, would seem to de-
mand recognition, for the senator has not
minced words in dealing with the matter.
The senator inclines to the belief that the
criticism is due to a mistake rather than to
Intentional misstatement on the part of the
governor.

Mr.. Cations Withdrawal.

The retirement of James r. Cation from

surprise to his friends, was the principal
development Of the week. Mr.. Cation is
loyel to his friends, and when Mr.. Ellyson
announced that he would not be a candi-
date Mr.. Cation entered the contest. Mr.
Elyson reconsidered, and is in the race
and Cation is out. leaving a single opponent
to Mr.. Ellyson, James Alison Cabell of this
city. One of the reasons which prompted
Cations retirement was the condition of his
health, though he does not assign that in
Withdrawing. 1t is known that for some
months he was quite i'll at his home and
that he has not recovered entirely. BY. adj

Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S-Some weakness in the
wheat market manifested at the start.
Opening quotations ON May were off SOLO to
1kc at 81 15j46f 15& July was down 80
q to 3sGKc at 81 00A al 0o1a The sensa
tional slump in prices yesterday was the prin-
clpal factor in the situation to-day. Opinion
was persistent that the May option had been
abandoned by Wall street promoters, and that
there was little possibility of any renewal OF
bull interest In that delivery. In consequence
there was scramble to sell the May option.
When trading began cornrni ssion houses were
active sellers and for the greater part Of the
session the bulk OF offerings came from that
source. Toward the noon hour the market
was farther. weakened by an increase OF 24e, 600
bushels in the worlds visible supply. Selling
became more general during the last hour of
trading and the market suddenly broke under
the load of offerings. May fell to 81 1874 and
July to 9S1hc. The close was at the lowest
point reached. Anal quotations on May being
at 81 1895
weakness OF wheat was the main cause of
large selling Of corn and of consequent de-
cline on values. The market closed at about
the lowest point of the day at 475aq4ftsc for
May.
Trading in oats was comparatively quiet and
the market had an easy undertone. May closed
at 31d31 Isc
Provisions had "a good start and prices
showed a fair advance at the outset: Later
the break in grain started general selling. re-
slltifff in considerable decline. At the
close May pork off 10c,s lard was down
