The North's Problem,

Editor Of The Times-Dispatch.
nai'-A peg to say, judging from the
tone OF the Northern papers, they do
r not ta ,neua an optimistic view Of the
ton. but; on the other hand. evinco
considerable alarm, lest at no distant
gay, they may be confronted with a
~ negro asnd problem pure and simple This
Is Is, t,spe the case with the City
lation Of $4,000. AS long 8 the negro
remained in the South, he was the na .
tons ward. and as such, was tho ro-
clpient OF much solicitude. at long
rat,es g glanv when ; he goes North ana
who manifested so much interest in his
welfare while he was in the South. ho
Is given the cold shoulder, and at the
same time made to understand that
me south IS the best place for him. It
had long been evident to close OBJ
servers OF passing events that there
could be no solution OF the negro
problem in the South until the negroes
had been distributed among the North
ern states In sufficient numbers to
ern people realized that 1t was neces-
sary for the negro and Northern people
to come In contact with each other, In
order to mutual understanding of
each e ach other It s That object having been
the South has practically been solved.
But while this is happily the case at
the South, there Ia a storm brewing at
the North that may In the course OF
time give the Northern people TO some
extent at least) foretnste OF the
fiery ordeal through which the South
was made to pass. II tho signs OF the
times means anything. when the negro
population becomes, more equally dis
trIbuted between the Southern and
Northern States and as log
ical sequence the negro not only
becomes a greater political factor, but
at the Same time. BY reason of greater
numbers, !s forced to come into COM
petition with white labor, then without
all signs fail there will be something
doing in the North.
And tho Northern people may yet
have q thorough realization OF the old
adage "that curses. like chickens, como
home to roost." And every negro who
crosses Mason and Dixon's line going
North Is on mission to contribute
his part toward conditions that will
eventually result In settling his des-
