BURDEN OF THE SOUTH They Have the Question Near Home, But the North Must Give Its Aid. EDUCATION THE REMEDY Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute Praised For the Work Accomplished. New oYra. April 15—Former President Grover Cleveland was the principal speaker last night at a meeting held in the concert hall of Madison Square garden in the interest of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Mrs. Cleveland sat in the gallery with Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who are Mr. Cleveland a hosts while he is in the city. Cleveland, who was greeted with prolonged applause as he was introduced by Mayor Low, said: Sympathy for Southern Whites Sympathy for Southern Whites. "I believe our fellow countryries in the south have been under the safety of their civilization, surrounded by about nine-tenths, or nearly eight million of this entire negro population and who regard their mutual ties with the safety of their civilization, interwoven with the negro problem, are enthused with the African heritage of theirhetic fellowship. I am thoroughly convinced that the efforts of Booker, Washington and the methods of Tuskegee Indians have enabled the African method to be the efficient solution of the vexatious negro problem at the south; and I know that the people of the nation who have alided with the methods have illustrated the highest and best citizenship and the most Christian and enlightened philanthropy. Keep away, keep out of my mind tonight the thought, that with all of the north may do the realization of the African method, all mainly depend—except so far as it rests with the negro themselves—up the sentiment and conduct of the leading men and upon the maintenance of a kindly and helpful feeling on their part towards their own people, much need their aid in acquiring them. South Alds the Schools. I *need waste no time in detailing the evidence that this aid and encouragement has thus far been generously forthcoming to children and institutions for their industrial training are scattered all over the country, and public benefit has been so far as I am informed, the sentiment in favor of this aid has been infused in the Tukezegue institute and kindred agencies is universal; and I believe that without exception, the new occupations and service and willing and cheerful patronage and employment who is beyond doubt the best authority in the world in the prospects of the negro race, he who founded the institute and the most able representative of negro DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1903. advancement, said at the Atlanta expoitation in 1955: "And it is well to bear in mind that, called to bear, when it comes to business, pure and simple, it is in the south that commercial world and in nothing in this expanse of chance. Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to the masses of us are to live by the proverb that we shall prosper in proportion to what we shall prosper in proportion to common labor and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life—to draw the line between the superficial geogwalls of life and the unmerged ornamental geogwalls of life. South Bears the Burden. South Bears the Burden. "There are many issues related to this feature of the negro question, which may be regarded as more in keeping with the objects and purposes of this work, but also in believing in the possibility of his improvement and advancement, and sincerely and confidently laboring to that end, it is folly for us to ignore the importance of the work of the black people in part of the white people of the south in this work. Labor as we will, will those who do the lifting of the weight must be those of tenacity and tenacity held southern ideas, can not be forced; nor can it be gained by gratuitously running counter to firmly fixed and tenaciously held southern ideas, to the point of doing or overlooking evil that good may come when we proceed upon the theory that before reaching the stage where we may be directly and assuredly engaged in the full enjoyment of the negro's full enjoyment of civic advantages or even of all his political privileges, there are immediately before us the need for immediate care and that, in dealing effectively with these, we can confidently rely upon the encouragement and assistance of the people of the civil citizen of the land—whatever he may live and whatever may be his ideas or predilections concerning the more remote areas of the negro, and especially with fit questions that are so immediately pressing, have to do with the political education of the negro, and especially with fit questions in gaining a decent, respectable and remunerative livelihood. Must Build Up From Bottom. "Hooker Washington, in speaking of the conditions and needs of his race, has been the most important person we must begin and not at the top. Nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities. It is a humbling the whole matter, there is no doubt of which we can be absolutely and unreservedly certain. When we ask Tuskegee institute and agencies like driving for the mental and manual development of our students, in every point of view, rendering him the best possible service. Whatever may be his ultimate destiny, we are thus helpless. We are not the only ones bearing its responsibilities. We are sowing well in the soil at the 'bottom of life' the seeds of the black man's development and will sprout and grow, and if it be within the purpose of God the hardened surface of no outward sentiment or pretense, we will not be appointed opportunity into the bright sunlight of a cloudless sky." His address, Mr. Cleveland introduced Edgar G. Murphy, executive secretary of the Southern Education board, to Tuskegee and his life work. Dr. Lyman Abbott, who followed, said that the south deserved great credit for the success of the school in helping the people to help himself. W. H. Baldwin Jr., treasurer of the Tuskegee institute, announced that the stakes were high for the college, one telegram, one anouncement a gift of $1,000 from a lady in Ohio, and the other a gift of $1,000 from a lady in Indiana, the other a gift of $1,000 from a lady in South. He said that $4,000 he needed to pay the indebtedness of the institute, and that taking the gifts into consideration would be needed for which he made an urgent plea, as well as for a further endowment sum. Mr. Cleveland in introducing Booker T. Washington, the last speaker of the evening, said: "I have to introduce to you a man too well known by every man in the United States, who is frequently and too favorably for it to be necessary for me to say more than -her is Booker T. Washington." Mr. Washington said in part: "The Tuskegee normal and industrial institute at Tuskegee, Gen. B. C. G. Campbell, the outgrowth of the Hampton Institute in Virginia, Gen. Robert F. Campbell, the prophets who realized that the task of the nation was not fulfilled when the nation was from the limbs of the millions of slaves of the south. He realised that nine million of the slaves, minus experience, could be but half of the slaves, have a new birth and a new freedom, and that this regeneration must include the religious freedom of the ex-slaves. In this connection I am gind that we have the American statesman in the person of Hon. William H. Tuskegan, the man whose presence and words here this evening that he, too, is conscious of the fact that he is a man of great importance to Tuskegan's problem, not alone the negro's concern, not alone the south's duty, but also the north's duty, in the whole people were responsible for the introduction and perpetuation of American race I want to thank you, Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Tuskegan, for that because of your interest and faith that we have not disappointed in our progress nor in our usefulness. Mr. Wesley Fields of Helena, Mont., returned to the city this week on an appointment with W. Fields, who was recently operated on at the Methodist hospital. A Rain Proof-30 Inches Long. AN EASTER ADDRESS Judge E. P. Seeds Delivered an Address in the Colored Congregation Church at Washington. Washington, D. C., April 12.—(Special.)—Judge Edw. P. Seeds, of Manchester, deputy auditor for the war department, delivered an Easter sermon today to the congregation of the First Congregational church (colored) in this city. Judge Seeds' remarks were in the nature of an address rather than a sermon, and were well received by the congregation, which represents, perhaps, the most advanced class of the colored population in Washington. Judge Seeds, among other things, pointed out the responsibility that rested upon the shoulders of the highest type of the Negro race in America. This class had enjoyed practically all the advantages within the grasp of the white man. They possessed means, educational opportunity and business chances. Due allowance would be made for the fact that previous generations had not risen to the level of the present type, and that heredity must be taken into account, but aside from this consideration, the highest class of colored people (of which the audience addressed was a type), enjoyed practically all the advantages possessed by the white man, and the ability of the Negro to develop along with the white man would be judged by the use made of the best class of Negroes with their present great opportunities. Judge Seeds called the attention of his audience to the fast that if they succeeded in rerching a state of civilization and enlightenment and mental capacity substantially on a level with that of the white man, that this accomplishment would naturally form a basis for calculation. It would be assumed that representatives of the Negro race, under favorable conditions having attained to such a high degree of moral, mental and commercial development, that this argued clearly that the race as a whole possessed native qualifications of similar character under similar conditions. If, on the other hand, the representatives of the highest type of the colored face failed to justify the expectations of those who had claimed great things for them, if furnished the opportunity, then the deduction would be logical that the Negro race could not measure up to the highest standards of human enlightenment and mental development, and the effect would be to the great disadvantage of the race in the future. Young Francis J. Berry, the gunners mate who was killed in the explosion on the battleship lows off the coast of Florida last week, was the step-son of Mr. George J. Wilson, head waiter at the Kirkwood hotel. Young Berry was only 19 years of age and had been in the service for nearly three years. His mother, Mrs. Wilson is spending the winter in Las Vergas, Cal., and will be home soon. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have the profound sorrow of all their friends.

McClurg & Co. are publishing this week an interesting contribution to the discussion of the Negro problem. The title of this volume is, "The Souls of Black Folk," by Professor William E. Burghard Du Bois, who is now professor of economics and history at the Atlanta (Ga.) University. Dr. Du Bois is a scholar of wide culture and an original thinker. He is a graduate of Fisk University, Harvard University and the University of Berlin. He is a very brilliant writer of essays, and the editor of the BYSTANDER remembers the essay that he read last summer in St. Paul, before the National Afro-American Council; the power, the faecination, the scholastic and rhetorical flashes that held the large audience spell-bound for two hours, was much commented on by all. In his new book he speaks on such subject: "The futility of double aim," "Of our spiritual strivings," "The dawn of freedom," "Criticisms of our leaders" and "A human document." A NOTABLE GATHERING. The meeting held Tuesday, April 14, in Madison Square Garden concert hall, New York, in the interest of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial school was largely attended by some of the best and most influential men in New York. Hon. Seth Low, mayor of New York, presided at the meeting and presented Ex-President Grover Cleveland who spoke. Some of the distinguished men who spoke were: Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of the Out Look; Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy, executive secretary of the Southern Educational Board and Booker T. Washington. This meeting was one of the best meetings ever held in the north in the interest of the institution. SIGNS OF PROGRESS. To the fair minded average reader we need not tell him of our race advancement, for the public press, as prejudiced as they have been, have told their readers of young Rosco Conklin Bruce receiving class honors at old Harvard at the last commencement and young William H. Lewis leading his class at Yale, who is now U. S. district attorney for the southern district in Massachusetts. Only a few days ago Wm. Pickins, a student at Yale from Little Rock, Ark., won the annual Henry James Ten Eyck $2600 prize given for excellence in public speaking, and only last week Edward J. Marshall of the University of Michigan won the right to represent that state in the inter-state oratorical contest. Of still more interest to us as a race was the selecting of Booker T. Washington to be George Washington's birthday orator at Brooklyn Institute of Arts and science. His subject was: "The Educational and Industrial Emancipation of the Negro." This institute dates back to 1823, and from its platform have spoken such men as Agassiz Morse, Guyot, McCash, Phillips, Sumner, Garrison, Emmerson and Beecher. Surely these are signs of progress.

SECURE A FREE HOME In the Fertile Wheat Fields of Western Canada To the Editor: The emigration of well-to-do farmers from the United States to the Canadian Northwest has assumed such proportions that organised efforts are now being made by interested persons and corporations to stem the tide. The efforts are being initiated chiefly in the states from which the bulk of the emigration takes place. The movement of population has taken from numerous states thousands of persons whose presence along railways in these states made business for the transportation companies. It is widely known that it has prevented the settlement of vacant lands along these lines, parties who might have located there being attracted to the free and more fertile lands of Canada. The result of the movement has been that the railway companies not only see the vacant lands along their borders but also see the hundreds of substantial farmers who have helped provide business for these railways move away and so cease their contributions. The farmers have moved to Canada because they were convinced that it would be to their financial interest to do so. In moving they have been inconsiderate in their financial interests before those of the financial interests of the railway corporations. In addition to the railway corporations, real estate dealers are working to stem the flow of emigrants. Of course every emigrant who goes to Canada means the loss of commissions on land deals by real estate dealers. Now a person has but to know what emigrants stop the flow to know what motive is influencing their course. The emigration means financial loss to railway corporations and to real estate men. These interests therefore are not directing their opposition efforts out of any love for the departing emigrants or out of any high patriotic motives that are not based on selfish interests. It is a matter of dollars and cents with them. They are so patriotic, they are so consumed by love for their fellow-citizens, that they want to prevent these fellow-citizens going to Canada and getting free farms of the best wheat land in the world, and instead they want to make money in the United States, where they will continue to pour money into the pockets of these railways and real estate men. One of the methods employed by these interests to stem the tide is the distribution of matter to newspapers, magazines, and other publications. These articles emanate chiefly from a bureau in St. Louis. They are sent out at frequent intervals for simultaneous publication. A writer is employed at a high salary to prepare the Moreover, statements absolutely at variance with the truth have lately been published broadcast. These appear chiefly in what purport to be letters from persons who are alleged to have gone to Canada and become disgusted with the news, been published, and they contain statements that are absurd in their falsity. Whether the parties whose names appear in connection with those letters have ever been in Canada, and if so, their history while there, is to be thoroughly looked into. The discovery of their motive, like the discovery of the motive of the interests they are engineering the position may prove illumining. In the meantime, however, it may be pointed out that only a few of such letters have appeared, but since 1897 over 87,000 American settlers have gone to the Canadian West. Can any reasonable person suppose for a moment that if Canada was one-quarter as bad as rep. America were engineering the position Americans now there would remain in the country; or, if the Canadian West had not proved the truth of all that was claimed for it, the papers of every state in the American Northwest would not be filled with letters saying so? Imagine 87,000 aggressive Americans received and not making short of the 87,000 are well satisfied and are encouraging their friends to follow them. Anyone who sees any of these disparaging letters should remember that it is railway and real estate interests who have from purely solifish reasons organized a campaign to stem the flow to Canada. Canada were half the number of such organizations no need of such an organization. The fact that such exists is of itself a magnificent tribute to Canada. Finally it should not be forgotten that the letters published are brimful of falsehoods, and that 87,000 satisfied Americans in the Canadian West constitute a living proof that such is the case. A government agent whose name appears in advertisement elsewhere in this paper is authorized to give all information as to rates and available lands in Western Canada.

Wainwright, of the firm of Bones & Wainwright, painters and contractors, Pulaski, Va. says: "Four or five times a year for the past years have made me more aware of my back, caused from kidney trouble. During these spells I was in such misery from the constant pain and aching that it was almost impossible for me to stoop or straighten and it really seemed as if the whole small of my back had given away. At times I also had difficulty with the kidney secretions which were discolved and it was greatly distressed with headaches and dizziness. I used a number of recommended remedies but I never found anything so successful as Dona's Kidney Pills." When I heard of them I had an attack and procured a box of them. In a few days the pain and lameness disappeared, the trouble kidney caused, was rected and my system was improved generally. I have every confidence in Dona's Kidney Pills."

Council Bluffs Physician Says It's Un-constitutional Des Moines, April 15.—In a suit to recover an itinerant license fee paid State Treasurer Gilbertson, B. A. Stockdale of Council Bluffs, an eye and ear specialist, has attacked the constitutionality of the itinerant physician. Plaintiff sets out the fact that he is an allopathic physician permitted to practice by certificate issued him by the board of medical examiners in 838; that he is treating ear, ear, nose and throat diseases; that in order to cover the large field of practice he has built up a large practice in open and maintain offices in several towns in western Iowa. He has paid the itinerant license fee under protest and solely for the purpose of creating prejudice against him in case he re Dr. Stockdale now claims that that section of 2851 which prohibits the practice of medicine without a license is not in compliance with "through circulars, letters or other advertisement and where the practice is at any other place other than the medical office." It is notIONAL for the reason that it is arbitrary, unreasonable and not founded on any principle of public policy or tending to protect lives of a commun- YOUNG PENSIONERS.

It is stationed in the office, and is so conceived that it can be made to get a awakening ring, and any specified ring it will do its duty faithfully, without overstepping itself, as porters and other hotel attendants sometimes do. Nickel coins, similar to those used in the United States, Germany and Belgium, are often introduced in France, and five-centes, equal to the coin will be five-centes, equal to about five cents. It will weigh six grams. The new coin will be a utility, as at present there is no intermediary between the ten-cent and the half-franc. A system of wireless teleography is ingeniously worked by the porters of hotels in various European cities, position, or angle, marked on a guest's way in advance. A guest indicates whether the owner is accustomed to tipping. For instance, if the upper left hand of the owner is obscured, he is conscious: if the label is straightly placed, the sides parallel with the sides of the trunk, he is a mean follow, adverse to tipping, and the owner would be wasted a lobster! Veteran's Story Bath, N. Y., April 13th.—The first consideration of the Commandant and Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home here is the health of the Veterans. Kidney Troubles are the most common cause of aliment, very few of the old men escaping these in some form or other. Of course the comrades do as much as possible for themselves, and one or the most popular and useful remedies employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills, which seem to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney derangements. Indeed there are among the veterans several who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills. For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to the home from Minneapolis, Minn., was given up by four doctors in that city. He had Dright's Disease, and never expected to live through it, but his life was saved and his health restored by Dodd's Kidney Pills. His experience has made the remedy very popular among the men, and no one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

Norfolk, Va., April 16—Admiral Harrington, commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, figured in a thrilling rescue of two men off Craney island. The naval tug Wainta, with the admiral and a party aboard, was returning from Old Point. A heavy gale was blowing. The lookout sighted an upward view of off Craney island, with two men clinging to the island. The admiral Harrington ordered all steam crowded on and the tug headed for the wreck. The men of the boat were nearly exhausted. The admiral ordered a small boat launched and he personally took the wheel. The half-drowned men were rescued, taken aboard the Wainta and brought to shore. The vessel was the Catherine Allen, from James river to Norfolk. The Allen is a total wreck. STRIKE IN BIG KNITTING MILLS Thousands of Men Decide to Quit Work at Amsterdam, N. Y. Amsterdam, N.

First, to realize herself as a woman: second to learn what there is for her to do; third, to study how to do it. This is an evident dissension from the principles of the "bigger education." The mistake of some of our modern educators that woman needs a given number of requirements, a given amount of languages, science, literature, etc., she deplores; and rightly, for unless these conduce to make one a more worthy woman, a more useful member of society, they are as naught. A little more of the wisdom of our grandmother and less of metaphysics and economics in the feminine educational system will work for its betterment. Excursion Tickets to Christian Excursions. Via the North-Western Line, will be sold at reduced rates April 16 and 17, limited to return until April 20, inclusive. Apply to agents Chicago & North-Western B'y. KNOCKS BUT ONCE does opportunity.
