spasmodic attempts to solve it by whole sale emigration. The same spirit that would now admit the coolies thwarted the negro's plans. White men wanted his cheap, degrading labor and resorted to effective means to retain it. One or two shiploads of poor, miserable crea- lures embarked for Africa, probably to die of neglect; and stringent measures were then adopted to stifle the move ment. Some time the white people may be brought to realization of their great wrong-those white people who so vehe- mently, but inconsistently, declare ''This is white mans country"
 As showing the feeling of one of the "better class of negroes, the following will serve:
 Macon, Ga, Feb. 16.-Bishop Turner, col ored, made an address before a convention or nis chuFcn Doius ueiu HI thIs city iost evening which has made him notorious in a day. In an impassioned speech treating of the lynching of negroes in the south and the persecution of the race generally by the whites, the bishop, carried away by his own eloauence, declared the American flag to be "a dirty old rag" and that "hell would he an improvement over the United States, so far as the negro is concerned" He placed a challenge open to all corners, to debate the relative merits of the white and the black man, and declared his ability to prove by statements of fact that the negro is the better citizen.
 The negro problem is hard nut to crack. Admission of coolies would very probably displace the negro in the south sphere which Bishop Turner says would

WOULD ADMIT COOLIES.

Washington, Feb. 19.-On Thursday the house of representative will take up for action Iill which will, in it's effect, accord ing to the best judgment of the labor lead e.s, practically let down the bars for the admission of Chinese coolies. Labor has been aware of this purpose, and for long time has been on the alert. President Com pers of the American Federation of Labor has long been warning labor leaders all over the country of what was in the wind, and as a result there is arrayed against the bill a tremendous weight of opposition from out side of congress, and coming from all the country over.
 On the other hand, there is an immense weight of influence for the bill. It is urged being the only means of saving to America her great trade with China, now threatened with complete destruction. It is believ ed that the question of peace war is even in the balance. The advocates of the measure say that while there was menace to Amer ican trade they were heartily in favor of exclusion it is being enforced, but that as between the admission of coolies and the loss of trade it has taken years to build up, China's claim to be placed on footing ith ether nations should he assented to. In the light of present conditions many are found to have had their convictions on the exclu- sion question entirely changed.
 The outlook is for the biggest kind of a battle for and against exclusion.-Tel telegram in the Fairbanks News.
 The foregoing announcement is by no means surprising. It merely depicts a cOnvulsive stage in lingering disease. The whole resources of the United States have been taxed to build up great man. ufacturing establishments which have no excuse for existence unless they can sell their products. They assumed the stature of giants because, through a protective tariff, the people always re- sponded to their cry for more. It was inevitable that time would come when a home market could not keep them employed; and it is certain they can not force foreign countries to buy their wares at prices fixed by the sellers, as they have forced people in the United States to do.

The Negro Problem.

AhCAC iS "h "haiosy uV'"CVH tiit HeSIo problem, as it actually exists in the south, and the conditions that would naturally be expected to follow the ad- mission of coolies into the United States Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, ill his late annual message to the legisla ture, said:
 As race, the negro is deteriora ating nor. ally every day. Time has demonstrated that he is more a criminal a free man than as 6 slave; that he is increasing in criminality with fearful rapidity, there being one third more criminals in 1890 than there were in 1880. In southern Mississippi particularly l know he is growing worse every year. You can scarcely pick up a newspaper whose pages are not blackened with an account of an unmentionable crime committed by a negro brute and this crime, want to im- press upon you, is but the manifestation of the negro's aspiration for social equality encouraged largely by the character of free education in vogue, which the state is levy ing tribute upon the white people to main tain.
 As far as it goes, this is true state ment of deplorable facts Had Governor Vardaman been wise enough and frank enough, he might with equal truth have said the white people of his state are also deteriorating morally-not from amalga mation, but from industrial contact with the negroes. If the governor will but look around him, he will see that the poor white people of his state-different from his own class only through long continued unnatural conditions are crowded from the productive lands and forced to eke out miserable existence on the nsn-responsive hills, under con- dtions, SO man said who had seen poverty at it's worst in many parts of the world, the hardest and most hope less he has ever witnessed. Then if bONeTnor Norudnian VIII bring ms thoughts to bear on his nearer neigh bors he can doubtless name many fami lies with promising sons-the very flower of his state-who have gone elsewhere to seek field for their talents and their energies.
 The blight that is upon Mississippi is upon the whole south, and is beginning to settle upon parts of the northern states as we'll lt is inseparable from a jumbling of races which nature has said must remain distinct.
 It may be assumed from Governor Nar,laman's words that he would try to cure the evil by withholding education from the negro and reducing him to q still lower level in the human scale. such trial would result in worse than hilare and the very thought ot it |. un~psakabIy revolsins.

receive staggering blow. Some of the best American manhood will go else where and begin the struggle over again. Australia and New Zealand will claim many and perhaps the vast riches and extent of Canada will furnish livelihood and homes for more.
 But we do not believe the coolies will be admitted. The movement may be but feint, made to frighten the people who have showed such marked restive- ness of late under the harshness of the conditions the ''great captains of indus try" have imposed.
