MOORE TALKS ON WHAT
 NEGRO HAS DONE FOR SELF

Oberlin, Ohio, October 24.-Today's ses- sion of the sixtieth annual meeting of the American Missionary association was opened with devotional exercises, led by President E. L Bosworth, D. D.. of Ohio, the subject being "The Kingdom Come" 'What the negro has done for himself was the theme of the Rev Lewis E. Moore Ph D., dean of the Teachers college, Howard University, Washington, D. c. He said in part:
 "The negro has lived and increased his population far beyond the expectation of friend and foe Every other people have gone down in the native heath of the white man, either because of weakness in themselves or the domineering spirit of the Aryan; but the negro has shown himself capable of living with the white men wherever he lives, and of learning from him the arts of civilization
 'It was confidently predicted that after slavery the negro would die out; that he would not work; that socially and do- mestically, he could never become part of the body polite But in the face of llllS anu dBdillal BltehA otPo'iNlbiis iio has knitted himself into the very life of the nation and in forty years has in- creased his numbers from 100000 to near 1y 10000 GOO. Those who know best the hell through which the negro has passed, thought he could not persist physically, because the influences of slavery as they knew them were bighting, not only to all of his higher faculties. but also tended to undermine and destroy his physical constitution.
 While men were debating whether he could or would meet the changed condi- tions of freedom, he has transformed him. self from a chattel to a free man; from a driven mass of human form working under lash to an independent wage earn CT; has helped to change the south from a rude agricultural section to prosperous manufacturing centers, and has proved that his labor under freedom is far more valuable than his labor under slavery.

Charles P. Lane, editor of the Hunts vile Tribune, the only republican daily newspaper in Alabama, has addressed an open letter to Gov. William D. Jelks, in which he advocates the disfranchisement of the negro by the repeal of the Eff teenth amendment to the Federal consti- tuition. MT.
