THE NEGRO is ALL
RIGHT.
Thus Spoke Andrew Carnegie in
a Recent Address.

a Recent Address.
AT the request of number OF
friends who have not been able to
get hold of copy OF the highly
significant address of Mr.. Andr W
Carnegie, delivered OH the occasion
of the celebration of the 4oth ami
versary Of the f unding of Howard
University at Washington d. c.
and the formal installation of DR..
Wilbur Patterson Thirkield as pies
ident Of that hist ric institution of
learning, The Freeman is publish
ing herewith the full text Of Mr..
Carnegie 5 remarks. They were
very brief and wholly impromptu,
but very much to the point.
In the present of a magnificent
audience, including the President
of the United States, the British
Ambassador, the Secretary of the
Interior, the Bishop of Washington
the United States Commissioner of
Education, the representatives of
40 white and colored colleges in
the land and thousands ofthe races
most cultured men and women, Mr.
Carnegie said;
Mr.. Carnegie's Speech.
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gen
tleman-It almost seems to me this
moment that some power higher
than myself brings me here upon
this occasion. 1t is not my do
ing. | was who'll unconscious OF
your meeting when requested to
come to Washington, and it does
seem to me now that it would be
almost proper to say, Now have |
seen the glory of the Lord.
"Only few days ago as ambas-
sador to my mother land, as told
you, it was my privilege to address
the Philosophic Society of Edin-
burg. An expression Of surprise at
the facts could give them about
the Negro was startling. They
came and :hook me by the hands
and said, You have revealed some
thing to me | never dreamed Of
"My study ofthe Negro question
is this-but before giving you that
| wish to say one word. This Re-
public of ours have never failed in
solving any problem coming before
it, and she is not going to fall inre-
gard to the Negro problem. | be
lieve with what Burke said about
Britain, that because she founded
her colonies upon Liberty, was that
which was to make her venerated
in future ages. | believe in the tri-
umph that our Republic is goingto
make in raising her fellow slaves,
that were to men that are to be,
and that in the same way it will
make her venerate in future ages.
The quotation leads me to echo
what Lyman Abbot said. ! know
no man who has done greater ser
vice in solving this problem than
he. No race ever made such
progress, material and ebucation-
ally, in forty years as the Negro
has in America.

tive that the machine go slowly, stick
TO the plain dirt track, and not swing
out on the grass around that curve even
a few inches, for deep ravine ex-
tends from the river clear up to the
edge Of the road, and would mean al
most certain death TO the occupants Of

and trees along it's edges.
