violence, and with extreme excitement, bitterness and resentment There is no such friction as to their equality in the rights of citizenship of the United States.
 The question between the races that concern the claim of the negro race to social. educational and political equal ity with the white race. bring them into constant conflict, and often into violent hostility.
 In this aspect of the race issue, it is true that all classes of the white race in the United States, almost with out exception, are united, determined, resolute and implacable, against the de- mands of the negro race. They can find no cause or justification in the laws of God, or in the history of our civilization, or in the Constitution of the United States. for degrading the white race to the social, educational, or moral standard of the negroes in America; and they will resist such de- mands of politicians, or foolish re- formers, with unfailing antagonism.
 This Is the true statement of the character of the. issue involved in the negro question, and the true and the only effectual remedy will be found in conforming the nation will to the assertion of the supremacy of the white race over the negro race. This suprem- acv is lawful and just. and will be so declared by the authorative-'act of the people. Until this settled as the de- claration of the American people, this strife will not cease.
 MaehinRtlOns of Politicians.
 The success of this assertion of su- premacy will be assured by the quiet assent and approval of the larger num- Der of the negro race They are in a false position through the machina- tions of politicians. but have been led

so far astray that they cannot volun- tarily return to their normal condition. They are afraid of the reproaches of their leaders. white and black. if they yield their claim to social and politi- cal equality.
 It is as instinctive with the negro to admit this supremacy and to blad- race to demand and assert it. But mat ters have gone so far in the direction and hopeless attitude of certain classes of negroes. through poll tical influ- encees. and through the active and fatuous intrusions of self-styled re- formers. that the effective assertion of the native superority of the white race can only be accomplished by the votes of a distinct and determined ma iority of the white people in support of such a declaration.
 The white people are ready to vote for it. whenevr the declaration is made a vital part of the creed Of a national political party. 1 hope that this movement will take form and au- thority in the next platform of the National Democratic party. and that it will originate in a Northern state. | have no doubt that 1t will result in the early solution of the race issue. with justice to all and malice towards none"
 If this remedy Is considered too mild. or too slow, for the impatlence of some eager men, the question arises: Is there another that will be more definite. or more in the nature of compulsion. that will bring either assured peace or reconciliation to the country? I do not consider rash counsels or violent aet- ion as being wise or safe in the pre- sent condition of the country.

citizens of the United States. As inc dividuals, they are entitled to the same rights, privileges and inlmunities that belong to a common citizenship. They were formerly grouped together as families, and are still dwelling to- gether in domestic pursuits. Yet, as distinct races. the laws make necessary distinctions and discriminations be- tween them for the sake of the pre- servation of our. American civilization. These laws do not concern the equal ity of citizenship, but are regulations that apply to social, educational and political conditions, that are not es- sential to citizenship which, in prin- eiple, includes only the duty of nation al allegiance and the corresponding right of national protection, at home and abroad.
 Conflict of Races.
 Citizenship. either native, voluntary, or compulsory, while it is. or may be, equal in it's rights and privileges to all, Is as different from the rights of social, educational and political equal ity. as the color of the races is diff ferent. This is illustrated in the na- tional legislation respecting Indians, and particularly in the case of the Filipinos. who are made citizens of the Philippine Islands by act of Congress. and are not rated. as citizens of the United States, although they are sub- ject to the laws enacted by Congress- and are not classed as independent tribes. A man who is imprisoned for life in a penttentiary. does not cease to be a citizen
 The negro race is in controversy and often in conflict with the white race on questions that relate to social and personal security, equality and these conflicts are often attended with

Moral suasiOn Impossible.
 by white political philosophers. had never a foot to stand upon as a remedy for the grosser and more desperate brutality of crimes that are tolerated. if not promoted. by the lower strata of a race, that has been perverted into a revengeful temper or a jealous an~ tagonism towards a superior race. our Indian wars, and the war in the Phil ippines. and in Hayti, Santo Domingo \and Cuba, disprove the value or moral suasion, when 1t Is resented by savage instinct Moral suasiOn or political cod ding will only fan the flame that al- ready Is klndled wherever the negro rare is found in considerable numbers.
 I have no faith in curing a wide spread epidemic of social disorder, or Of crime, by adding false conceptions or social rights and racial grievances to the causes that have created such conditions.
 Nor is 1t possible to regulate the negro race to the condition they were in when they emerged from slavery. Their former owners would not aS- sist in such a movement if it was con templated We must take them as they arc. and the white race must devise some method of correcting or curing the evils entailed upon the country. in A large extent, by racial degeneracy, and also by the abnomal situation into which they have been allured by the false counsels of pretended friends.
 Force. or any official form of legal compulslon. will not reach the root of the evil. A drastic precipitate or bloody remedy Is more likely to aggravate the evil than to destroy it;and self respect, as well as bitter experience condemn all unlawful efforts to re- press crime and preserve the public

future of tho country Is hopelesslS unfortunate. Indeed In every direction, the situation is difficult and dangerous to all concerned; and it will require all tho moral and political power of the American people to clear the way to a safer situation.
 Thoughts are entertained of their repatriation in Africa. But the tyranny of Leopold who has made himseR owner of the Congo Free State and of it's people--and the colonization that Europe has established in other African countries, are too great a barr rier to the aspirations of the supposed American leaders of the African race. to induce them to take a thought in that direction. for the honor ana wealth that invitlngly await man ly effort for thelr acquisition.
 Africa will be as long without the help of the Afro American leaders as she has been without ships to navi- gato the ocean. If she awaits the help and the sympathy of the negro leaders In this country.
 The Islands of Mandanao and Suln in the Philippines. would furnish good homes and great wealth to 20.000.0ee of the negroes. who would be welcome there by the sparse native population, who are fond of association with tho negroes. and have no racial aversion to them.

peace by the action of lawless mobs. Yet. there is a principle of self de- fense that justly enters Into the pre- vention of capital crimes that cannot be otherwise prevented. It Is called the unwritten law" but it is. in fact an elementary feature of the law of self defense and of public security
 No treaty can be made with our negro citizens: and the law of banish- ment is unknown to our system of gov ernment. Whatever can be done teNsep- arate the races, can only be done with their consent.
 The declaration of the leaders of the negro race. and of some white men of ability and prominence, that the negro is here to stay" Is true. unless he con sents to go; and no more dangerous fact ever stood In the way of the peace and prosperity of the white race in any country.
 I will not discuss this outlook. for every person of the white race will un- derstand that this means the ultimate degredation of the blood that flows In tbeir veins; or. else. 1t means Che outlawry of the negro and his ex- termination.
 Separation the OnIy Course.
 Race separation is the only cure for race aversion. except as between mas- ter and slave. That relation modifies natural aversion by the interests of the master and the helplessness of the slave, There Is no competition and no occasion of race jealousies between them.
 Neither slavery nor any semblanco of 1t can exist in this country, and that possibility is closed to the re- actionaries, if there are any; but there are none.

a HE recent Convention at Nash

wA HE recent Convention at Nash
 vile, Tennessee, has brought
 the race question into general
 discussion in the South, other wise I would not venture. at this time, to state the views that impress me as being most essential to the proper so lution of questions connected with the negro race.
 What is here presented is only in- tended to draw attention to certain leading facts that nearly all the world is prepared to admit, that they may be carefully considered and weighed by the people of both races, who are con fronted with conditions that are peril ous.
 No advice is offered as to any spec ial plan for the solution of this prob- lem. It is greater, more difficult and more replete with dangerous incidents than any social or industrial question that this nation has ever encountered and found 1t necessary to settle on its own initiative, in its own way. and by its own authority. It originated in war a policy, and 1t Is at least ques- tIonabIe whether it can be finally set- tied by peaceful methods. It Is cer- tain that gross crimes are the result of race aversion, and their frequency is exciting many communities to re- sort to the desperate and destructive expedients of that fatal code that iE called the rhigher law" which is only another name for anarchy.
 The situation of the races that are involved in this controversy Is such that 1t cannot be settled by consti- tutional laws, or by force, or by trea- ty or equalization.
