Tlio frequont lynching" of Negroes in tlio South line become it natotinl JIh grace. That Negroes who commit crimes ought to lio lawfully punched therefor no ono disputes, and any statu 1h nt liberty to make tho rrlmo of which lynched Negroes nro generally licenced punlshublo by death if UiIh 1h deemed best or necessary. Hut those irequont nets of fiendish lawlessness prove tiiat tlio boasted civilization of the whito rnco in largely a pretense, n venuer; nt heart thoro In a (rood deal of savagery yet. The Negro race needs and dusorvcH teaching, instruction, good examples. Considering that for gonntlons the Negro was a slave, and duprived of ed ucation and brought up surrounded by uxuiuplui of unbridled lustfulness, it can scarcely be reasonably expected that lie should bo as yet entirely well behaved and virtuous in the faro of temptation, through the exernif u of his will power and adhureiicu to the moral law. Ilu is in'coBcnrlly, ns yet, if he shall not be always, tlm weaker race, Intellectually, and is therefore entitled to be the object of greater patience and forbearance, not tlio victim of lawless cavugory on tho part of tlio stronger race. It is not meant that crimes, espe cially such as Negroes who aro lyncliod aro generally accused of, should Ihj ex cused, or punished lightly, but why ono treatment for tho black man and an other for tho white mnn? Why burn ing nt tho stake for ono and no mo trill ing punishment or nouo at all for the other? If a young whito man, through almost any device, ruins a young girl, wrecks hoi whole Ufa, drives her to a brief lifo of lurid and shameful vice, what Is deno to hlui7 Usually nothing. Hut if a Negro's passion gets the bet tor of him and ho commits a crime morally no worse than tho other, one having far less evil consequences, ho is torturously lynched by a mob of savage whito men. Under such circumstances how can ho bo expected to respect tho law laws that aro miulo to wink at tho whito man's urimu, mid afford tho Negro not oven tho protection of a legal trial mid punishment? Negroes who perpetrate such crimes though it 1m to bo suspected that they aro often wrongfully accut-ed ought to bo speedily tried and fearfully punished by death if you will, but legally, and in an orderly, formal, Im pressive, civilized way, not by allowing passions worse than their own to defy and override tho law and thus bring disgrace upon our civilization. Public sentiment should bo aroused through out tho country, especially throughout tlio South, first to imprefs upon Negroes tho enormity of such crimes and tho certainty of punishment thurofor, and second against these frequent and horrible crimes of mobs. Tho whole civilized world is shocked and horrllled at those numerous and revolting lynching-, and it is tv high duty which tho influential mou of tho Heath owe to themselves, to their states, to tho country, to civilization, to repress and prevent these barbarous occurrences. thing for tho'.Ncsro, but it is absolutely necessary for tho whites. I am going back to Georgia and preach tho necessity of industrial training for both races." Ooverncr Jolks, of Alabama, Bald: 'f havo always admired Hooker T. Washington, and felt that lu) was doing a great work for the stute, but I hud no idea that ho was coming so near to a solution of tho Negro problem." Tho reports made to this Atlanta con ference show that tho Negro Is making great progress as an artisan, and through this industrial training is gradually and quietly winning his way industrial ly In tho South. It is perhaps not generally known that thoro aro scores of smaller but similar institutions to those at Hampton and Tuskcgee, found ed by graduates from these schools. Tho remits aro so satisfactory, and tho influence of tho industrially educated Negro Is so wholesome, that tho whites have become much interested in the in dustrial education not only of tho Ne groes but of their own race ns woll. So It N coming -to pass that n move ment inaugurated by n colored man primarily for tho benefit of his own rate Is to bo extended and is in fact being expanded for tho instruction and benefit of tho whito raco in the South also. Hooker T. Washington has revo lutionized sentiment among his own people, and exerted n powerful influ ence upon tlicjwhole rnco in that sec tion of the country also. Tho Negroes are no longer miogutner mere cotton pickers nud common laborors, but nre becoming skilled mechanics, trained farmers, men nud women going out with not only tho ambition but tho equipment to become homo builders and state builders; and their success has been so marked that It has stimu lated tho whites to tho adoption of similar methods. And bo, after nil, tho despised Negro, erstwhile a slave, is a chiuf factor in tlio new develop ment and upbuilding of tho South. i BLOOD-SOAKED CUBA. I8LAND HA8 AT LA8T BECOME HER OWN MI8TRES8.

UBA, after four centuries of almost continual strtjgglo through starvation, misery, torture nnd denth, has nt hint reached its cher ished goal of lib erty. With the casting off of " the old fetters njid tho' establishment of a democratic form of government, renewed hope nnd nmbl tlon have flooded the hearts of the Cubans, nnd If they promote their fu ture advancement with the sntnc de gree of unfaltering persistency that tins marked their strife for freedom, the ultimate success of the Island republic Is nssured. , Since the departure of Columbus, the history of Cuba tins been one of Inces- C clless manner in which they bad been robbed of their earnings. But the era of prosperity was short, as the English soon turned the Island over to Spain and the old system of persecution was resumed. However, the Cubans had breathed the air of comparative freedom, and they saw tho possibilities of the Island under hon est government. Instilled with a now- born ambition for freedom, tho Cubans carried on secret arrangements for a general uprising, and the fifty years following the few months of English occupancy witnessed a succession of revolutions. Thcs enme tho Ten Years' War, from 1808 to 1878, followed by another uprising In 1885, nnd then tho flnnl struggle beginning Feb. 24. 1895. which resulted In the overthrow of Spanish rule In America by the United States nnd Cuban forces. Cuba may drink of the cup of free dom now, but how denrly It was pur chased. The first era of Spanish reign, with Its system of slnvery, cost Cuba 50,000 lives nnd hundreds of millions of treasure collected In gold dust. In the Ten Years' War, 40.000 Cuban lives were sacrificed and more than a billion dollars spent, besides the confiscation of Borne 1.1,000 estates. In tho same war Spain lost 200,000 men and n vast sum of money. The final struggle cost Spain 150,000 men nnd more than a hundred millions In cash, while Cuba gavo up CITY LAUNDRY CO.

A conference of prominent men nt Atlanta recently brought out some in teresting information as to tho indus trial employment of Nugroos; but noth ing In connection with tho event was so instructive as tho visit of some of tho leading Southern delegates to tho Tus kegeo industrial liihtituto. Tho old South wus indifferent to industrial training ami cducatlru, and while thoro has boon some change in this respect, there is still too much iudifforoiico to tho indiiHtri.il training ol Southern whites. Somo of thorn visitors had their eyes oH)iied to tho fact that tho Negroes, through tho impetus ot tho Tuskegoo institute, aro likely to surpass tho Southern whites in this respect. One Georgia delegate said: "Tho results hero uitaindby ono man gratify but frighten mo. Every think ing Southern man would fool tho samo way who hud seen what I huvu seen to day. Industrial education Is a good Furnished by a Yankee to Deliver Ills Koreluu Order. Sovernl months ago a Now York ex porting houso received In tho usual coarso of Its business nn order which threatened to shatter Its most cher ished boast that It could supply any thing made by man and send It to any part of the habltablu globe. The order was for a largo quantity of general merchandise, and It came from a Her man merchant In n small town twenty tlvo miles from Vladlvostock, Siberia. Ho wrote: "Tho roads aro bad, and thero nro no means of conveyance save by ordinary carts; ami, since homo of the goods I want aro heavy, 1 don't seo what you can do 1 leave It to you. Tho order Is yours If you can deliver tho articles at tho doo- of my shop," Tho iiuestlou was serious. It meant far moro to tho exporting tlrin than was Involved lu the loss of tho order. It was a direct challenge to prove tho truth of Its widely heralded boast. Thero was also a strong patriotic ap peal to tho tlrm. "Tho whole question resolves Itself Into this," said tho senior partner. "Wo'vo not only got to supply tho goods, but wo must also furnish tho transportation. Shipping from hero to Vladlvostock Is merely u nucstlou ot packing and ocean freights, but to cur ry many tans twenty-live miles over In different roads Is another story." Thero wus a prolonged discussion and tlnally, after an exchange of sev eral cable messages the goods wero started on their long Journey to Vladl vostock. Tho steamer carrying tho merchandise carried also certain pieces of machinery and a representative of tho exporting house. Several days after tho steamer landed there rumble through the Siberian town an Amerl-cuu-mado travtlon engine with several broad-tired wagons behind. Tho mer chandise loaded upon tho wagons reached the shop of tho German mer chant In due time; tho traction englno and Its train wero sold to good ad vantage In Vladlvostock, and another victory was added to the long score of triumphs of Yankee Ingenuity, The World's Work. STItEKT SCENE IN HAVANA and each day became less nble to carry on tho light. Their lands were wrested from them and parceled out to the In vaders; the captured natives being en slaved as tillers of the soil. Unused to hard labor In the Ileitis, the captives weakened and died, until nt the end of llfty years' persecution It Is estimated that &00.000 of the original population hnd dlsniiDeared. All tho horrors of Spanish rule In Italy and the Dutch countries wero repeated In Cuba with Increased icst and enlarged systems of oppression and cruelty. The aborigine! being practically exterminated, the same cruel treatment- wa visited on tho Spnulsh colonists themselves and upon the negroes who hud been Import ed as slaves. In tho course of 200 years the population was again reduced until only alwut R0.000 persons remained. Practically prisoners of war, tho Cubans had little knowledge of tho outside world, except that gained from the pirates who continually plundered Cuba and the neighboring Islands, muk lug that region the headquarters of a vast fleet of buccaneers that ravaged Cuban waters for two centuries.

The capture of Havana by the Eug llsh and their eleven months' rule was undoubtedly an Importuut point In the life of Cuba.
