'11IE SÓUTH'S PROBLEM
William E. Curtis, writing to the-Chicago Record-
Herald, notes that the Southern newspapers generally
copied and commented favorably upon Mr. Cleveland's
speeches at New York, St. Loiiis and elsewhere upon
the negro problem. The negro "problem, says Mr. Cur-
tis. is working itself out in a practical way and such
expressions as are found in Mr. Cleveland's utterances
have been effective in "bringing out the views of people
whose knowledge, experience and 'interest give them
a right to be heard. * The problem of the South is
industrial and the negro is the main factor in it. * * *
The majority of the newspapers and the great mass
of thinking men look upon the problem from an econ-
omic'standpoint and regard the colored population of
the South as not merely important but necessary to the
welfare and prosperity of that section.'"
"The manufacturing is all done by the whites. The
negroes cannot or will not work within walls, and, as
a rule, cannot be trusted with"machinery. Occasionally
you find a good negro engineer or machinist, but they
are very few. and. although they have been tried as
factory operatives again and again in different parts
,_of the South, they have invariably failed, and it is now
asserted that there is not one negro operative in any

It would really seem that Texas might furnish a

It may now be authoritatively stated
for the first time that the Chicago,
Rook Island and Pacific Railroad com-
pany, at the present time, owns a cer-
tain amount of the capital stocky the
Houston and Texas Central railroad
and that despite the action of the
commission 4n reference to Che track-
age contracts, the stock deal Is now
am accomplished fact.
The general Impression has prevail*
ed In railroad and public circles as well
as ever since the unfavorable action
on the part of the commission, that
the non approval of the trackage con-
tracts might result In the calling off
of the entire deal. Still another much
credited opinion was to the effect that
the stock deal was conditional on and
contingent to the approval by the com-
mission of the trackage contracts.
This latter statement was much cred-
ited by railroad officials In this city.
In fact, even now it is believed that
the deal was not Anally closed until
after the action by the commission.
It is known that the chief objtcf
of the visit of Judge Lovett to New
York' was in connection with the Rock
Island deal, and that the San Antonio
and Aransas Pass matter formed oniy
a subordinate part of the .budget. Just
what was the nature o( the business
which was transacted during his stay
In New York is not known; but It Is
certain, that matters of vital Interest
In connection with the deal were dis-
cussed with the promoters, and the
final ststuB of the matter 1s now ready
for discussion at Austin. It is of-
ficially announced that the final state-
ment of the details of the agreement
will shortly be mad0 public.
The reason for the action of the
commission In reference to the track-
age contract has bean thoroughly dls-
cussed In railroad circles in this city
and no plausible reason has yet been
unearthed why the contracts should

welfare that the solution of the problem lies in indus-
trial schools where f.hey can receive manual training for
the trades."
President \\'ilson. of the Agricultural College of
North Carolina, and one of the fairest minded men in
the South, savs; "The old South strove to retain an
* . j
incompetent negro slave because it owned him, pitied
him and often loved him. Then new South will not i
.tolerate an incompetent negro laborer, and the only
way the negro of this section can recover and retain
the respect of the white people is to increase his own
usefulness and efficiency as a laborer. If he cannot or
will not do this, the South will seek to get rid of him as
speedily as possible. The old South was not over-
thrown by Lincoln and Grant, but' by the industrial in-
efficiency of the negro laborer. The new South is
struggling with the same problem. The negro is still
here, is in some respects better, in some respects worse
than before emancipation. Although, under thc stim-
ulus of freedom and with enlarged opportunities, the
rage should not only have held it6 own, but should
have acquired new fields of usefulness and industry,
but rt has not done so. The improvement is very slight.
It may be doubted as a whole whether the negro race
has advanced since emancipation. There have been
. many notable exceptions. There has been a great im-
provement in certain places and among certain classes,
but among the negro population "in general, the average
in efficiency, usefulness and marality has not advanced.
■ The most intelligent and capable negroes since the
emanicpation have withdrawn from the industrial pur-
suits to become teachers, preachers, lawyers, physicians
and politicians. This withdrawal from productive la-
bor of the best element of the race has set a bad ex-
ample to the rest.
"There was considerable mechanical skill displayed
during slave times among the negroes in the various
trades, by both men and women. Prior to 1870, three-
fourths of the skilled labor of North Carolina, where
slavery prevailed was done by negroes. Today it is
'doubtful if 10 per cent is done by negroes. In the city
•©f Raleigh there is only one competent negro carpenter,
le forty years ago there were fully a dozen. In
portions of the State the negro population fur-
today a smaller number of skilled laborers than
supplied fifty yea ago by the few negroes then
in the midst of slavery." :

matter, that the Rock Island will con-
tinue to hold Its present Interest in
the Houston and Texas Central.
As has been previously announced,
the one purpose whleh the Rock Is-
land desired to obtain by the right ex-
latent of trackage contracts was un-
hindered and unembarrassed control
and operation of the road. This pur-
pose, It is offlclally stated, may still
be gained by other means. In fact,
the existence of trackage contracts
would act aa a reinforcement of the
controlling poaUlon of the. Rook Is-
land In the case of an emergency only.
It Is further officially stated that it
has never been the purpose of the
Rock Island, even though the exist-
enoe of these contracts would give It
the privilege, to operate Its own trains
through to the Oulf. It is asserted
that the Rock Island is at the present
tine satisfied and that as soon as a
Rock Island president is elected the

control of the Rook Island.

An Oriental leg«ra;l narrate t At the
beginning of time Twasatrl.the Tulcaa
of Hindoo mytho'og}. created the
world. But' when he wished to cre-
ate a woman he founl that he had
used all the material in the creation of
man. There did not remain one sound
element. Then Twaahtri. perplexed,
fell into a profound meditation. Me
took the roundness of the moon, the
undulations of the serpent, the en-
twinement of clinging plants, the
trembling of the grasses, the slender-
ness of the rose vine and the velvet
of the flower, the lightness of the leaf
and the glance of the fawn, the gaiety
of the sun's rays, the tears et the mist,
the inconstancy of the wind and the
timidity of the hare, the vanity o * the
peacock and the softness of the down
on the throat of the swallow, the haro-
neas of a diamond, the sweet flavor of
honey and the cruelty of the tiger,
the warmth of Are, the chill of snow,
the chatter of the Jay and the oooing
of the turtle dove.
He united all these and formed a
woman. Thee ha made a

man came to Twaethrl and said

oned my existence. She chatters with-
out rest, she thkee all my time, she

always 111." And Twaahtri received
the woman beck again.
But eight days later the man cgme
to the Ood again and «aid: "My Lord,
my lite Is very solitary since I re-
turned this creature. I remember she
danoed before me, singing. I recall
how she glanoed at me from the cor-
ner of her eye, that she playjSB with

the woman to htm. Three days only
passed and Twaahtri saw the man

he, "I do not understand exactly hoe;,
