She remembered nothing of her parents, she said, except that they were white, like Anderson. All she had left to remember them by was a little gold ring. There was an Inscription on the Inside of this ring, but as she could uotDreud she did not know what It was. Anderson read the Inscription, which established the Identity of the owner of the ornament. It reads, To Mathilda From Papa and Mamma Youngqulst, 1885.' Ten IVrnonn Killed and Great Dam- 30 W.

He is expected to arrive at Yancey's today and to reach the fort some time tomorrow, lie will remain there one day and then will start for Nonis, where the geysers are. I believe that among the nearly 9,000,- 000 negroes who have been intermixed with our citizenship there is still a grievous amount of ignorance, a sail amount of vlclousness anil a tremendous amount of laziness and thrlftlessness. I believe that these conditions inexorably present to the white people of the United States— to each in his environment and under the mandate of good citizenship—a problem which neither enlightened self interest nor the higher motive of human sympathy will permit them to put aside. I believe our fellow countrymen in the southern and late slave holding states, surrounded by about nine-tenths, or nearly 8,000,000, of this entire negro population and who regard their material prosperity, their peace and even the safety of their civilization, interwoven with the negro problem, are entitled to our utmost consideration and sympathetic fellowship. Booker Washington'* Policy ItiirM. I am thoroughly convinced that the efforts of Booker Washington and the methods of Tuskegee institute point the way to a safe and benellclent solution of the vexatious negro problem at the south, and I know that the good people at the north who have aided these efforts and methods have illustrated the highest and best citizenship and the most Christian and enlightened philanthropy. I cannot, however, keep out of my mind the thought that, with all we of the north may do, the realization of our hopes for the negro must after all mainly depend—except so far as It rests with the negroes themselves—upon the sentiment and conduct of the leading and responsible white men of the south and upon the maintenance of a kindly and helpful feeling on their part toward those In their midst who so much need their aid and encouragement.1 do not know how It may be with other northern friends of the negro, but I have faith In the honor and sincerity of the respectable white people of the south in their relations with the negro and his improvement and well being. They do not believe in the social equality of the race, and they make no false pretense In Regard to It. That this does not grow out of hatred of the negro is very plain. It seems to me that there is abundant sentiment and abundant behavior among the southern whites toward the negro to make us doubt the justice of charging this denial of social equality to prejudice. as we usually understand the word. Perhaps it Is born of something so much deeper and more imperious than prejudice as to amount to a racial instinct. Whatever It is. let us remember that it has condoned the negro's share in the hulmlliation and spoliation of the white men of the south during the Saturnalia of r« construction days and has allowed a kindly feeling for the negro to survive the time when the south was deluged by a perilous flood of indiscriminate, unintelligent and blighting negro suffrage.
