EISE OF THE NEGRO RACE

Its Progress and Prospects Ably Discussed by Hon. Blanche K. Bruce. He Advocates Edncation as the Solution of the Race Problem What the Black Man Has Done Since Ills Enfranchisement. At Plymouth Church, laet evening, to quiu a laree audience, Hon. B. K. Bruee delivered bis lecture on "The Race Problem." The auccessful career of this distinguished Hississippiao is itself a proof of the solution which be asserts must be reached before bis people can attain the best results of tbeir enfranchisement Mr. Bruce was introduced by ex-Governor Porter, who referred to him as the successor of Jefferson Davis in the United States Senate. He began his official career, though, as sheriff. "As the office of sheriff," said the Governor, "is ons of great promise, you know, there is do tellinz what the future may bare in stora for the gentleman who will now address you." This bit brought a round of applause, which strengthened as Mr. Bruce stepped to the stand. He began his lecture with the statement that changes had taken place in this country during the past twenty-five years which could not have occurred in Europe in a hundred years. -America, in fertility of soil, climatic conditions, extent of the country, intelligence and industry of her people has all the advantages owned by all other countries. Settled by a variety of nationalities of which the Anglo-Saxon in time became dominant, the result is the American Republio and better still the American people. The best qualities of other European nations hava been engrafted in the AngloSaxon, and though the Americans are heterogeneous they are yet the most homogeneous people on the globe. They present today under the same domestic government and political conditions the four typical races of the world. The Caucasians once constituted the sole ruling class. The Mongolians are aliens and without political autonomy. The Indians are dealt with by treaties and the blacks ware ones no more than property. From the Indians lands have been taken, trom the yellow raca labor and from the blacks the control of tbeir own persons. Passing from this thought ha said that for more than two hundred years the relations of tho two races 'in the South had been on the idea that one was inferior, and upon that slavery rested. It was asserted that the blacks could not stand alone, that their true condition must be that of subordination, but civilization is stronger than cations themselves. He illustrated this by the decadence of the Roman people, of whose civilization France, Austria, H.ng'.ana ana the minor nations are the beneficiaries. If in time the Latin races are to give way to trie Teatonlo powers, and they In turn to stronger people, is there not reason to fear that the Slavs, descendants of the fierce Tartars, will become dominant over all Europe? They have for a thousand vears or more maintained their characteristic, and are growing in physical and political power. The Russian serf, though emancipation about the tima freedom was given to the American blacks, j is far behind him in progress. When slavery was abolished grave doubts were urged whether the black men would become in dustrious. It was said that in freedom t beywould be indolent, thriftless, licentious, turbulent. As slaves, for 200 years they had upheld the industry of a large section of the country, while others acquired the benefits or tneir laDors. As freeaoen they are producing far greater re sults than aver before. Instead of confining themselves to husbandry they are pushing into the world as mechanics, manufacturers, preach ers, teachers, artists, lawyers ana doctors, iney are adorning their homes, educating tnmr cnnaren and showlne in the highest degree the result of civilizing influences. They are exhibiting an industrial independence and endurance with out a parallel. When the 4.000,000 black people were emaneipa1d, it bas teen represented that each had less than twenty-five cents. They owned no land nor the poor cabins in which they uvea. With freedom, the Russian serf procured a bit of land, but to the negro came nothing but the knowledge that be would no longer be held as property, lie went to work: at once ana monopolized, as a freeman, the agricultural labor of the Soutb. Efforts have been made to supplant him, but they have failed, because it is found that the negro can work more hours in a day and wait loogar for his pay thsn any other per son. He had only the Freedmens Bureau to help him adjust himself to the new situation, but when the ballot was given him he had nothing whatever to teach him the duties of citizenihio. It was natural that mistakes should oc cur, but tne griat wrong was noi in givine mm the right of suffrage, but in the failure of tha government to protect him in its exercise. The attainment of civic excellence by the ne groes demands that they shall be informed, dis ciplined and educated. Nearly one-tnira or tne Fopulation ia the South cannot read nor write, n th North there are only 1.000,000 illiterates out of a population of 30,000,000. In the bouth 1,500.000 black children are deprived or eaucational advantages. This would be a matter of little importance if these children were the children of slaves, but it is of vast importance when it is considered that these illiterates wm in time have the same right to vote that belongs to the most distinguished man in the couutry. Mr. Bruce said more schools were needed in the South, and suggested that the treasury surplus could be applied to this end. there was plenty of consideration given to the question of relieving whisky and tobacco of taxation, but none to that of appropriating the surplus for educational purposes. lie then rererred to tne inciaents oi progress the colored people had made in their industrial. intellectual, moral and religious development. They were superstitious, it is said, but not more so than their white brother. It was true the ignorant colored man in the swamps of Louisiana carried with bim a rabbita foot to keep off evil spirits, but the intelligent white man put the horseshoe over bis door to keep the witches out. The colored people were intensely relieious. He did not know of a half dozen skeptics among tbeni In Congress, since the war, there have been eighteen colored members. Not one of them was ever before an investigating committee to answer a charge of official misconduct Not one was ever the subject of public or private scandal. Marriage among the blacks was held sacred, and benevolent societies were numerous among them. It had been proposed to set these people apart in three or four territories. That was impracticable for it would require a soldier to every one of the 7,000.000 men, women and children to keep them there and to keep the white man out Colonization in Africa was equally impracticable, because it would require the ships of the world to transport the rnpidiv increasing American blacks.and then it could not be done, for it is estimated that every day COO colored children are born in this country. The black man is here and he is here to stav. He did not believe there ever would be in this country a conflict of races, for the true solution of the race prob.em was Americanization and that was being rapidly accomplished. for the colored man took American civilization like a duck to water.
