TUSKEGEE HAS RIGHT METHOD He Sums Up the Difficulties and Says Hooker "Wmulngton lias Found the Solution What South lias Done for Blacks. NEW TORK. April 14. Ex-President Grover Cleveland was the principal speak er tonight at a meeting held in the con cert hall of Madison Square Garden in the Interests of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Among those on the platform with Mr. Cleveland were Mayor Low. who presided: Booker T. Washing ton. Dr. Lyman Abbott. President Nicho las Murray Butler and Dean Van Am rlnge. of Columbia; W. II. Baldwin, Chancellor McCracken. of New York University; John Dewltt Warner and George F. Peabody. Mrs. Cleveland sat In the gallery with Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who are Mr. Cleveland's hosts while he s in the city. Mr. Cleveland, who was greeted with prolonged applause as he was being introduced by Mayor Low, said: "I believe that the days of Uncle Tom's Cabin are past. I believe that neither the decree that made the slaves free, nor the enactment that suddenly Invested them with the rights of citizenship any mora purged them of their facial and slavery bred imperfections and deficiencies than that It changed the color of their skin. I believe that among the nearly S.000.000 negroes who have been intermixed with cur citizenship, there is still a grievous amount of ignorance, a sad amount of vlclousness and a tremendous amount of laziness and thriftlessness. I believe that these conditions inexorably present to the white rieonle of the United States, to each in his environment and under the man date of eood citizenship, a problem wnicn r.eltber enlightened self-interest nor the hlrher motive of human sympathy win icrmlt them to put aside. I believe our fellow-countrymen In the Southern and late slave-holding states, surrounded by about nine-tenths, or nearly S.0M.0M of this negro population, and who regard their material prosperity, their peace and e .-en the safety of their civilization as in terwoven with the negro problem, are en titled to our utmost consideration and pyre pathetic fellowship. I am thoroughly convinced that the efforts of Booker T. Washington and the methods of Tuske cee Institute point the way to a safe ben eflclent solution pf the vexatious negro problem at the South; and I know that the good people at the North who have tided these efforts and methods have Il lustrated the highest and best citizenship and the most Christian and enlightened philanthropy. Work ot Southern Whites. "I cannot, however, keep out of my mind tonight the thought that all we of the North may do. the realization of our hopes for the negro must, after all, main ly depend, except so far as it recta .with the negroes themselves, upon the sentiment and conduct of tho leading and resnonslble white men of the South, and upon the maintenance of a kldly and help ful feeling on their part toward tnose in their midst who so much need their aid and encouragement. "I need waste no time In detailing the evidence that this aid and encourage ment has thus far been generously forth coming. Schools for the education ot negro children and Institutions for their industrial training are scattered all over the South, and are liberally assisted by the Southern public and private funds. So far as I am Informed, the sentiment in favor of the largest extension and broaden Influence of Tuskegee Institute and kindred agencies is universal, and I believe that, without exception, the ne groes who fit themselves for useful occu pations find willing and cheerful patron age and employment among their white neighbors. "As friends of the negro, fully believing in the possibility of his improvement and advancement, and sincerely and confi dently laboring to that end. it Is folly for us to Ignore the Importance of the un grudging co-operation on the part of the white people of the South In this work. Labor as we will, those who do the lift ing of the weight must be those who stand next to It. This co-operation can not bo forced, nor can it be gained by gratuitously running counter to firmly fixed and tenaciously hold Southern Ideas or even prejudice. We are not brought to the point ot doing or overlooking evil that good may come when we proceed upon the theory that, before reaching the stage where we may be directly or prac tically confronted with the question of the negro's full enjoyment of civic ad vantages, or even of all his political privileges, there are immediately before us and around us questions demanding our care, and In dealing with these we can rely upon the encouragement and as sistance of every thoughtful and patriotic citizen of tho land, wherever he may live and whatever may be his ideas or prede lictions concerning the remote phases of the negro problem. These questions that are so impressing have to do with the practical education of the negro, and" es pecially with fitting him to compete with his whits neighbor in gaining a decent, rcepectable and remunerative livelihood. "In summing up the whole matter, there Is one thing of which we can be absolute ly and unreservedly certain. When we aid the Tuskegee Institute and agencies like it, striving for the mental and man ual education of the negro at the South, we are in every point of view according him the best possible service. Whatever may be his ultimate destiny, we are thus helping to fit him for filling his place and bearing its responsibilities. We are sow ing well in the South, at the bottom of life, the seeds of the black man's devel opment and usefulness." Xeglected Duty of the North. Dr. Lyman Abbott, following, said that the South deserved great credit for tak ing up. as it had, an untried problem In helping the negro to help himself. "And tho North," bo said, "has given her scant credit. She has given him schools that the North has refused him. and done many other things toward his future that the North never thought of." Dr. Abbott next epoke of the great work of Booker T. Washington, and praised him in the highest terms, declaring he has done as much for the white race as for the colored. His work had really brought the union of the North and South by the work he bad taken up as his life's task. Quoting a remark made by Henry Ward Beecher to the effect that we should make the negro worthy flrrt, and then give tilxn suffrage. Dr. Abbott said: "We made the error of giving him suf frage first, and the unfortunate negro has had to suffer ever eince. What the negro wants Is education." W. H. Baldwin, Jr., treasurer of the Tuskegee Institute, announced that since the meeting had begun he bad received two telegrams, one announcing a gift of J10.0W from a lady in Ohio, and the other a gift of $1000 from a lady and gentleman in the South.- He said that JJS.0W had been needed to pay the debts of the Insti tute, and that, taking the gifts into con sideration, there was still a sum of H3.00J needed, for which he made an urgent plea, Mr. Cleveland Introduced Booker T. Washington, who said: Booker WaahlnRton'n Speech. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee. Ala.. Is the out growth of the efforts of General S. C Armstrong, of the Hampton Institute, In Virginia. General Armstrong was one of the great seers .and prophets who realized that the task of the Nation was not fulfilled when' the shackles' of physical slavery were struck from the limbs of the millions of slaves in the South. He re alized that 9,000.000 of human beings steeped in Ignorance minus experience could be but half free. He foresaw that the Nation must have a new birth and a new freedom and that this regeneration must Include the Industrial, intellectual and moral and religious freedom of tho ex-slaves. Further, In refusing to return to bis comfortable. Northern home after the surrender at Appomattox and In de ciding to remain In the South to help In fighting for freedom in the larger and higher sense. General Armstrong appre ciated, as few Americans have, that the North owes an unfilled duty to the South. "General Armstrong said by word and action that it was unjust to leave the South "with Its industrial system disor ganized and overturned In the midst of a poverty that forbade the proper edu cation of the white youth to say nothing of the millions of recently emancipated black children. "In this connection I am glad that we have another great American and Christ ian statesman in the person of Grover Cleveland, who Is manifesting by his presence and words here this evening that be, too, is conscious of the fact that the lifting up of the negro Is not alone Tus kegee's problem, not alone the negro's concern, not alone the South's duty, hut Is the problem of the nation, because the whole people were responsible for the Introduction and perpetuation of Ameri can slavery. In behalf ot our struggling race. I wint to thank you. Mr. Cleve land, tor your deep Interest, and to say to you that, because of your Interest and faith In us, we shall see to it that the Nation is not dlmppolnted In our progress nor In our usefulness."
