TO invoke and execute. Rev. Beale
says:
"Tllman gives only one side OF
the question. There are hundreds
OF thousands OF intelligent virtuous
Industrial Negroes and this number
is increased by those pouring out of
colleges, universities and industrial
schools. We may agree with Sena-
| tor T'illsnan that the whites will new
er be ruled by the blacks and there
is no danger any more that they will,
but IT. should be said to the colored
race that just as soon as they show
themselves possessed of the necessary
qualifications. they should share the
privileges and responsibilities Of or
gained society.
There are many fair-minded men
In the South, who believe and say
this, and who are working with the
Negroes and with Northern philan-
thropists 70 give the colored people
The best possible advantages. When
the present period of reaction and
reimbursement is over. the patriotic
people of the South will follow the
lead of Gov. Northern and Booker
Washington rather than that of
Iillman and Vardaman, and the
christian education viii solve this as
IL does many other problems.
Three things will probably hap
pen in the future. Stringent vagran
cy laws will be passed and in some
places vigilent patrol Will hold in
check the vicious and criminal; the
introduction of foreign immigration
will drive the lazy and shiftless to
the wall and finally eliminate them
in the great struggle for existence
These who are capable OF develop
menU VIII be given an opportunity
60 make for themselves an honorable
place with participation in the af-
fairs of the community and in al
matter affecting their race"
Rev. Beale's summary is all that
we could hope or expect and we agree
with him. These utterances show
that he understands the situation ev-
en- better than does Senator Tiuman
and &c is fortunate for US that Sena-
tor TiIlman spoke there and more
fortunate for the country that this
distinguished theologian supplement-
ed his remarks with the truth. with
reference to the Southland. Despite
an that is being said or done. God
is raising mp friends for us and the
rontings OF our enemies bring forth
new ideas and facts with reference

Hon. John Sharp Williams dis
sertauon Ga the Metropolitan Maca-
zine for November gets more inter
estiug as Sc is read and digested. In
our last issue we spoke of his refer
ence TO himself as "a good man. a
believer in the divine philosophy of
Jesus Christ" He rcouted the idea
OF the determination of the Negro
using the following language in so
doing:

money gives out" Negroes in that
section, Mr. Williams object win
have been attained and the citizens of
color will have been fatally handi-
capped.
Mr.. Williams has already discoun-
ted the idea that the Negro as a
whole is shiftless and good-for-noth-
ing for he says that fully ninety per
cent. Of the Negro race is behaving
itself as well as could be expected;
il is at work in the fields; on the
railroads. and in the saw mills.
This then emphasizes the state
ment OF Mr.. Andrew Carnegie in his
address at the installation exercises
at Howard University of Washing
ton. d. c. last week, when he declared
that the real trouble with this coun-
try was that 1t needed more Negroes.
He evidently referred to that class
which Hon. John Sharp Williams so
pointedly describes. Mr.. Williams
says: =
Negroes, are going out and white
men coming in, but We can, by wise
individual and State action, accele-
rate il by bringing into the South
desirable white immigrants, thus sub
jecting the darby TO an Industrial
composition which will require him
to become either a more effectual
Iaborer than he is now. especially

And again:

1T may not be generally known
as a fact that only u per cent. Of
the present births ia the city of New
York are native born the balance
being foreign. In other words, out
of each one hundred thousand ba-
bies born in New York, eighty-eight
thousand have parents VINO are for
eigners, and only twelve thousand
can claim parents of true Americans.
There are more Jews in the city of
New York to-day than there are
that race in the City OF Jerusalem
There are more Italians to-day in
the city of New York than there are
OF that race in the great city of Rome
Italy. And still these foreigner
come at the rate of more than n mil
lion year, ever increasing and seem
inly without end.
"A foreigner lands in the port of
New York every minute and a half
the year round. Since the dawn OF
the twentieth century, or the year
1900. there have poured into this
country from foreign nations nearly
seven million immigrants, or one
twelfth the entire population of the
United States. In the past six years
there have been more immigrants
landed in this country than the en-
tire population OF New York City,
the second largest city In the world.
We have had enough immigrants in

their deadly work. It was so rare
that a slave ever ho' consumption
that Negroes were, in most parts Of

now.

has been initiating the white people
and he is paying the penalty. The
better class of Negroes however are
not guilty OF these excuses and are
comparatively free from the ills to
