W hat ex-Fresllnt Cleveland said In bis admirable speech at the meeting In behalf of the Tuskegee Institute about the solution of the negro prob lem resting mainly With the leading and responsible white men Of the south is true, says the New York Tribune. So also is true Dr. Lyman Abott's statement that the problem Is a na tional one, not the south's alone. We think that reasonable men In both sec tions will agree to these two propo rtions, which are not antagonistic, thcugh the extremists In both object to them. The southern demagogue truculently declares the negro ques tion is no business of the north, and resents the Idea that either national law or the broad Interests of national civilisation.', make northern Interest anything but Phariseelsm. The north erner, on the other hand, who has traditional views, gained largely In wartime, thinks that the whole subject is to be summed up In the reconstruc tion amendments, and that all ques tions of expediency and southern sen timent count for naught. They are both wrong. The ques tion is a southern question, In that southern conditions must be consid ered, and the negro must, as a loyal ritisen of the south, work out his des tiny in harmony with his white neigh bors and with due regard for their rights and the safeguarding of their civilization. The sooth must solve the problem with such friendly aid as the north can give In money and In sym pathy, but It must solve it right, and It Is a paramount national concern that It- be solved right,. which no amount of sympathy or , lazy Indifference or fear of stirring up strife or trouble 'will permit the nation as a whole to lay aside. " ' We may agree perfectly with Mr. Cleveland when he says that "neither the decree that made the slaves free nor the enactment that suddenly in vested thera with the rights of citizen ship, any more purged them of their social and. slavery-bred imperfections than It changed the color of their skins." We may think southern ob jection fo an Illiterate electorate not unnatural, and believe that the negro may wisely put up with the denial of suffrage, evey by unjust Indiscrimin ation, and devote himself along the ll.'ies laid down by General Armstrong and Booker Washington to making himself a prosperous and respected cit izen. But we cannot forget that pa tience has a goal. Endurance of dis crimination, a sympathetic attitude to ward the south while It is dealing with the negro in Its own way, is founded on the distinct understanding that the ultimate solution Is the giving to ev ery negro as he shall become worthy of it the full measure of his civil and political rights. We should have been glad if Mr. Cleveland, while so frankly TvIALTHOQD ROOFUVTG Made in California where materials are produced. The lowest priced roofing made. Lasts longer than all others.

Ui Antjtltt f 1 ' and Dcnvcf, Cmondo. and properly avowing sympathy with J the south and telling the negroes that their only hope was to make themselves worthy of southern respect, had with equal distinctness declared for the great principle of equal right and prtv liege as citizens, regardlesa of race, for all those whose character and achievement fit them to discharge the duties of good citizens. ( That equality does not wean social equality, nor amalgamation, nor anyj encouragement of the lower Instincts of the negro race, which some white; men profess to fear. It is the reward ' ;nd crown or exactly opposite ten- j denies. The ytmng men and women ( educated at Tuskegee are the last to pretend to soda! relations with the j whites or the desire to Intermarry with j them. They are too self-respectful. ; too determined to make the most of themselves in their own true character. It t ignorance and lack of self re spect that make the negro socially and politically dangerous. Education of the kind Tuskegee gives Is safeguard ing the south from that menace, and peopling It with negroes as devoted as the white man to race segregation and :s earnest In support of order and eco nomical good government. Their, Int erests are identical witn tnose oi their worthy white neighbors, and In: due time that Identity of interest must be ncognlzed and corresponding equal ity cf rights conceded. 4 Tuskegee is not merely doing this work directly. It is sending out stu dents who repeat the process In their own communities with rare devotion, thus carrying forward civilization by geometrical progression, and doing it in harmony with the best southern white sentiment. It is one of the strategetlc points for the uplifting of hs black race, and therefore the support and enlargement of its work are of vital importance to the whole country. Whatever differences people in any sec tion may have about the other phases cf the negro question, all agree to the usefulness of Booker Washlnton's teachings and the benefits they are conferring not only on the negroes, but on the whites. Congress appropriated $12,300,000 for the rural delivery service during the next fiscal year and the department will establish 15,000 new routes on the money. Thus It Is expected by the end of the next fiscal year to have 30,000 rural carriers in motion, and 15.000,000 people living outside of towns and cities will have their letters and news papers delivered at their doors.

On being examined I found that I had sustained internal inju ries which laid me ttp for mors than two months. After that I noticed that I had pains in the back and grain which I never had before. I doctored and doctored foe several months but as the pains in ercaicd instead of rowing better I decided that fwas not having the right treatment. Reading in the papers of the wonderful carts performed by Win of Cardui I wrote to one of the parties and received a very satisfactory reply and I immediately sent for some. In a very short time I felt generally better and after seven weeks faithful use I was ooce more well and strong. Ihave had a sick hour since and I daily blest toot splendid medicine. MONIE BOVEY.
