generations to come will rise and

made the school possible.

One of the most pernicious in1u-
ences that is dragging many of the
young men Of our race to lives Of in
dolence, theft and crimes of a felonious
nature is that of gambling. Many
young men whose prospects for the
future have been exceedingly bright
have been ruined here in Nashville
by succumbing to the temptation of
fered by the goddess Of chance. We
hope that the day is near when this
species Of evil, if not eradicated will
be reduced to such a place where
bright young men will not be led to
crime.

In the case of Fisk University he
would find, if he took the trouble to
look it up, that while none Of the
graduates have made fabulous for
tunes, not one out of 277 college grad
yates has been convicted of a crime.
Such a record should make him feel
grateful that such an institution is To-
Gated in this city.
AS to the dentist, 1t is merely a
matter of business between himself
and his patient. If he has white GUS
toners it is no more an indication Of
an attempt at social equality than it
would be for a white person Of the
Cumberland Telephone Company to
rent a telephone to a Negro or a sales
man in Mr.. Franks store to sell a
suit of clothes to one of u race.
But why devote further space to this
matter? We prefer to believe that
Mr.. Hume is not sincere in what he
said, but rather that he was smart
ing under the feelings produced by the
passage Of the Tablet Bill, which al
lows another telephone Company in
Nashville, and made the Negro the
butt of his pent-up feelings. This we
will say though, it is unfortunate that
while such men as ex-Gov. Northen,
of Georgia; DR.. Lambuth and others
of this city, are working for an en-
tente cordiale, as it were, between the
two races in this city and elsewhere
in the South, whereby the good of
both races would work to put down the
bad in each race, that prominent men
like Messrs. Leland Hume and Joseph
Frank should make such reactionary
speeches as were accredited to them
at the meeting of the Nashville Board
Of Trade last Thursday night.

UNSUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS.

Louisiana, since New Orleans has
been made an immigration port, will
try to replace it's Negro labor with
foreign whites. The experiments
tried so far with foreigners have not
proved tie unqualified successes that
this section has been led to expect, if
current reports be true. The English
girls imported for the mills
in the Carolinas have gone North,
alleging that they were lured
to this country by false promises.
From various sections Italians and
other foreigners complain that they
have received treatment similar Ito
that accorded slaves. The housewives
of San Antonio, Tex, who thought
they had perfect jewels in their Jap
anese servants whom they hired re.
Gently to displace their Negro help,
have been forced to return to their
first love on account of the thievery
untidiness and general worthlessness
of the new help. And so goes the list
Wherever foreign help has been in,
PRODUCED there seems to be dissatis
faction upon n side or the other
We are sorry that such is the case
1t would help so much to have a few
hundred thousand immigrants who
believe in that racial purity which
forbids white men from running
after colored women.

THE BURNT CORK ARTIST ON

1t is the usual custom when a
show has enjoyed a run in New York
it is put on the road. Sometimes
three or four companies producing
the same play will be travelling
through different sections of the
country. The burnt cork artist Of
the United States Senate, the only and
the original Benjamin Ryan Tillman,
of South Carolina, following in the
footsteps of other amusements, has
organized himself into a lecture bu-
reau to deliver lectures at 5000 per

RE~ACTIONARIES.

The statement made by President
Merrill, Of Fisk University, before the
Nashville Board of Trade concerning
some remarks that had been accred-
tied to him in an address made at
Colorado Springs, drew forth the
views Of the Hon. Leland Hume, first
and last of the Cumberland Telephone
Company, and at other times first
president of the Nashville Board Of
Trade. This is not the first time
Mr.. Hume has discussed the Negro
question. Following the Atlanta
massacre he made such a radical ad-
dress at the Gospel Tabernacle that
even the daily papers which were
driving the recalcitrant democrats
into line with the scarecrow of Negro
domination at that time refused to
give a faithful account of what he
said.
Mr.. Hume. apparently, was pro-
voked by the statement made
by DR.. Merrill that a Negro owned
q home on one of the principal
streets of the city and that an
other member of our race who prac-
tees the profession of dentistry, re-
ceived a considerable portion of his
patronage from the members of the
other race. The honorable gentleman
Of the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany did not know whether or not
these statements were true, but was
inclined to doubt them. He was op-
posed to such reports because they
gave the impression to the outer world
that the Negroes Of this city were
progressing, along material lines,
faster than the white people. And il
they are true, then he is opposed to
Fisk University or any other school
which teaches Negroes to do such
things. To his mind the only educa-
ton suitable for those of our race
is the kind that will make us better
farmers.
Another mar who spoke in the
same strain was Mr.. Joseph Frank,
a member of a race which sacred and
profane history shows has been perse-
cuted even more than our race.
Mr.. Hume confessed that he did
not know whether DR.. Merrill's state
ments were true. There are a great
many other things about his colored
brothers who reside in this town prob
ably that he does not know. II we
could get his attention for a few min
utes we would ask him if he has ever
visited Fisk University or any OF the
other colleges conducted for the ben
eft of our race in this city except
when escorting some stranger to the
nlaces of interest in the city and If
he has ever investigated the record

Fisk University was honored this
week by a visit from a party of
Northern friends, who came to the
dedication Of the New Chase Science
Hall. These Northern fanatics or
"cranks," as our bot-headed Southern
editors and "best friends" often lovingly
call them, frequently see a phase of the
Southern Negroes life that the whites
living here with us never observe.

have boosted that only the North
would pay to witness the antics of
Tillman, so to prove that they know
not whereof they speak, he has ar
ranged his tour so as to take in
eleven of the Southern states. The
show is billed to appear in the fol-
lowing states at the places named:
Maryland, Baltimore, Cumberland.
Virginia, Roanoke, Danville, Ports
mouth, Lynchburg, Winchester, Rich
mond.
North Carolina, Henderson, Oxford,
Pinehurst, Wilmington.

ton.
Alabama, Troy, Chronicle.
Louisiana, Clinton.
Tennessee, Pulaski, Chattanooga.
Mississippi, Holly Springs.
Georgia, Sandersville, Claxton,
Graymount.
Kentucky, Williamsburg, Somerset.
Florida, Jacksonville.
1t is noticeable that the minstrel
fails to appear at the larger cities in
most OF the states. In Alabama, for
instance, Chronicle, by the census of
1900, had less than $500 Inhabitants,
and there are 16 other towns and
cities larger than Troy, which had
a population of 4,O97, 2,14O of whom
were Negroes. All the appointments
in Georgia are at towns having less
than $500 inhabitants. This is a
very sorry showing for such a star at
traction as the Pitchfork artist from
South Carolina.
Tillman's excursion into the South
ought to be a paying venture. The
people of this section are particularly
fond Of Ministries. Some Southern
white men, though, demand something
higher than that offered by Tillman
One of these, DR.. John G. Kilgo
President of Trinity College, Durham
N. c., a prominent member of thu
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
who has been frequently mentioned
for the bishopric of that denomina
ton, in addressing an alumni dinner
last Saturday, said in reference tt
Tillman and the Negro question:
"The South has grown tired of it
old kind of leadership, and there is
longing for some to come forward
and voice its new sentiment. Neve
before was there felt throughout tn,
South by worthy men in every lin
of work a deeper humiliation thai
that recently provoked by the rough
and sectional utterances of Senate
Tillman in the United States Senate
"The white man of the South will
continue to pay his taxes to educat
the child Of the Negro, while NOR
and more he will give his influenc
and means toward advancing the WEI
fare of the Negro race. But the Ne
gro as a ghost to brighten the whit
voter into party lines and party act
is now a thing of the past"
DR.. Kilgo represents a class o
whites that is the very antithesis o
that represented by Tillman. Thougl
he is more optimistic in his last ser
tence than the facts would warrant
he will do MOI to ameliorate the cor
ditions in the South by instilling int
the students of his school the sent
ments voiced in that portion Of hi
address which we have quoted thai
