The Negro Problem.
The negro problem is given considera-
bic attention, after calling attention to
the fact that no section of the country
Is free from faults, and that no SECTION

OF any other section, he turns to the SUBJ
Ject OF lynchings, and especially as APP
piled to the negro OF the south. He says
the greatest existing cause for mob law
Is the preparation by the blacks of the
crime OF rape, crime .shich he terms

ago, and by Gov. jerks, OF Alabama, re-
Gently, and then says:
Every colored man should realize
that the worst enemy of his race is the
negro criminal, and above all the ne
gro criminal who commits the dread
fui crime OF rape; and 1t should be felt
as In the highest degree an offense
against the whole country, and against
tne colored race in particular, for
colored man to fail to help the officers
OF the law in hunting down with all
possible earnestness and zeal every
such INFAMOUS offender. Moreover, in
my judgment. the crime of rape should
always be punished with death as is
the case with murder; assault with in
tent to commit rape should be made a
capital crime, at least in the discretion
OF the court: and provision should be
made by which the punishment may
follow Immediately upon the heels of
the onense; while the trial should be
SO conducted that the victim need not
be wantonly shamed while giving tes-
timony, and that the least possible
publicity shah be given to the details.

the other hand should understand that
every lynching represents by just so
much loosening of the. bands of civ

of mob.
Need for Negro Education.
There Is another matter which has
direct bearing upon this matter of
lynehing and of the brutal crime which
sometimes calls il forth and at other
times merely furnishes the excuse for
Its existence. 1t is Qua of the question
for our people as a whole permanently
TO rise by treading down any of their
own number. Even those who them
selves for the moment profit by such
maltreatment of their fellows will in
shortsighted policy can be Imagined

class, TO prevent the education of an
other class. The free public school the
ehance Tor each boy or girl to get
good elementary education lies at the
foundation of our whole political situ-
alton; In every community the poor
est citizens, those who need the schools
most. would be deprived of them IL
they only received school facilities
proportionately to the taxes they paid
This is as true of one portion of our
country as of another. 1t is as true
for the negro as for the white man
The white man, IL he is WISE will de-
cline TO allow the negroes in mass to
grow to manhood and womanhood
without education. Unquestionably cd
ucation such as is obtained in our pub-
lie schools does not do everything to-
wards making a man a good citizen:
but IL does much. The lowest and most
brutal criminals, those for instance
VINO commit the crime of rape. are in
the great majority men who have had
either no education or very little: lust
as they are almost invariably men who
own no property; for the man who
puts money Dy out OF his earnings

eriminaliie. OF course the best type
OF education for the eolored man IA
Ken as whole, is such education as
is conferred in schools like Hampton
and Tuskegee; where the boys and
girls the young men and young wo-
men, are trained industrially as well
