Plan to Solve
the Race Question
A sugcstion was recently made by Rev.
G. W. Young, of Virginia, in regard to the
acquit-int nt of the Island of Cuba by the
United Slates, and setting it apart for
homestead settlement by the colored people
of Ani'-rica, which has caused considerable
com men t.
The id< a of the annexation of Cuba is not
new. As far ba k as the administration of
President Polk an offer of 1100,000,000 was
made, and proudly rejected by Spain, and
on ' anous occasions since then Ps .12-
quiitm-.nt, cither by conquest or purchase,
has been seriously considered. It has long
been apparent to many statesmen that the
responsibility for the future destiny of the
island must eventually rest upon this
country.
Prior to the present, trouble growing out
of the Maine disaster many would have
favored its acquirement by purchase, but
as matters now stand they would spurn
the idea of a purchase from opeople over
whom there hangs a pall, the shadow of a
great crime. It is fareiai in the extreme to
prate of a Monro' doctrine, on paper, and
thm propose to deal on equal terms with
a people before whose horrid outrages the
whole woiid stands aghast.
•’This country," says Mr. Young,
should therefore take possession of the
island as humanely as it may. purchase
the Linds of private individauls, divide it
into small tracts, say of 40 acres each, and
olft r it to the holered people of Ameri a
undtr titles inalienable for 25 years, on
condition of five years’ residence thereon,
and the making of improvements to be
specify d by law.
"Ta’s stems to be the most humane
method of settling the quarrel cf a cen
turv wi:ii Spain, ami of ending the bru
talitie- that have di-sgraced the Spanish
admin •• ration is the island.
"And then it would be a safe policy for
this country, tor whatever our prejudices
against conquest, the time has come when
this nation must fortify herself by strat
ngeous r <s-. csions abroad, if she would be
safe from tori ign harrassment and inva
sion.
"A problem equally difficult of solution,
and of mure Immediate interest to us, is
the ra.- 1 problem in the United States.
There are thousands of colored citizens of
this country who were never able to
acquire homes in the great west for the
reason that it was all settled before they
had oeen long enough free to avail them
selves of it. The Alaska climate is too
cold for them; the Indian Territory, when
open for settlement, offers no possibility
of success to them; to the southern white
man this question is vital. The southern
country home is fast fading into a mem
ory.
”A fatal mistake in the solution of the
rac< problem in this country has been
the id<. a that education was 4he one thing
necessary. Millions of money has been
expended in schools and apparatus. Many
southern negroes have been liberally edu
cated. but tihis has insured no lucrative
employment, save teaching among their
own race, and this vocation is becoming
more and mare crowded; hence, education
is being discouraged.
"The building of factories will not solve
it. They are not skilled workmen, and if
they were, . "ganized labor will not admit
them to a place in their ranks. Success
ful agriculture is equally beyond their
reach.
“The invention of machinery has thrown
thousands out of employment, and the
tenant farmer is in a hopeless competition
with the broad acres and improved meth
ods of the land owners. What shall be
done? While they are here the land of
the country must support the population
of the country in one way or another. Ev
ery man must have a living— not necessa
rily a good one —but a living.
"He must earn it a hired hand, have it
given to him as a charity, or. what is. in
finitely better, give him an opportunity to
dig it out of the ground. This we have
shown he cannot do here, but in the blood
stained Pearl of the Antilles, where the
soil is rich, the climate unobjectionable,
the product such as he knows how to cul
tivate, and where the physical environ
ment will not allow him to ue crowded to
the wall, as here, by a stronger race —al-
ready in possession both of the land an the
Institutions of the country—our duty is
plain, our opportunity is providential. "Let
us go up and possess the land." pay a debt
to the colored people, and solve both the
Cuban and the race problem."
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been made
and that, too, by a lady in this country.
"Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years he withstood its se
verest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and her death seemed immi
nent. For three months she coughed in
cessantly and could not sleep. She finally
discovered away to recovery by purchas
ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose that she
slept all night and with two bottles has
been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes Mr. W. C.
Hammick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial

Letter From Cuba on the Situation
There.
A mail letter from Cuba on the situa
tion there says:
Havana, via Key West, Fla., March 25 —
Miss Barton deserves all praise for her
work. She is not at all sensational. She
does not seem to care for advertising, and
she can not be hoodwinked by the people
who are the finest on earth at that parti
cular operation. On the oTher hand, Edi
tor Klopsch seems to be here for the pur
pose of advertising himself. Certain it is
that his chief occupation is writing for his
paper and bc-ing photographed by the side
of starving people. This latter part of his
business has become so common that any
one seeing him coming begins to get his
infirmities ready for the photographer.
Klopsch is now bossing everything.
General Lee seems to have steered clear
of the whole muss. When I approached
him today be said that he knew absolutely
nothing of what was being done. He had
appointed a man to look after it, and this
man, Hyatt by name, had appointed sev
eral committees to attend to the distribu
tion. However much the njanagers may
quarrel over the charity done here, this
much is certain, viz.: They have done
great good, and will continue to do good.
That some broken-down Cuban aristocrats
will profit by being on the committees is
certain, but this fact should not prevent
those so sorely in need from receiving re
lief. Helpless women and children cannot
return to their homes until the country
districts are ridden of some roving bands
yet left in the woods.
The habitations provided by the govern
ment for these helpless creatures are so
filthy and foul that life in them is worse
than death. Spain has all she can do to
feed her own army and the food provided
for the soldiers is that sent from the
United States for the reconcentrades that
the army could not be trusted with its dis
tribution.
The only way to get the supplies to the
right place is to have them distributed by
Americans. Secretary Congosto said that
he was very anxious to get the people back
to their farms, and would furnish seeds
and guards to anyone who would under
take to put these people back to work.
"The three western provinces are well
enough pacified now for them to go back
to the farms nearest our forts.” he said,
"and as the zone of cultivation extends
so will our zone of protection."
The whole energy of the government is
directed toward maintaining friendly re
lations with the United States.
When asked what would be the result of
a war with us Congosto said: "We would
have to raise the white flag at the first
shot."
The volunteers still hate us. They hate
Blanco. They hate autonomy and they care
not for peace. They dislike seeing their
fiendish plan of extermination—so nearly
successful—interfered with. They will do
all in their p:.wer to prevent the recon
eentrados returning to their fields as long
as Americans feed them. Many of these
volunteers, who have been money-lenders,
hold mortgages on farms. Weyler’s edict
suspended the payment of all notes and
mortgages for two years, so these note
shavers cannot foreclose their mortgages.
They know that if the reconcentrados go
back to work they can pay their debts or
borrow moremoney in a few months. For
this reason they are anxious for the recon
centrados to continue till the time of Wey
ler’s edict expires.
Many estates are now without owners
or heirs, and will, of course, return to the
state.
The volunteers know that with the pres
ent plan of autonomy in operation they
will come in for no part of these confis
cated estates. The government is too
shaky to justify investments, and it seems
that there will be trouble between the au
tonomists and the conservatives. The lat
ter party is composed chiefly of volunteers
and are armed. Spain cannot withdraw
her troops until the possibility of this
trouble passes. It would be unwise to dis
arm the volunteers before the election, as
it is possible to get them into line by that
<ime. and their vote is the largest. It is
likely they will be disarmed afterward, as
they have proved a dangerous factor to the
government.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 2
FIRST NIGHT IN A "SLEEPER.”
' Traveller from the Short Grass Region Got
Ready for Bed on the Platform.
A traveller from the short grass country
boarded No. 1 at Dodge City a few nights
ago. He wore long, white whiskers, and
a wide brimmed white felt hat, and he
stood 6 feet 6.
His boots were neatly blacked, and he
had on a new suit of clothes. It was ap
parent that he was not at home in his
new toggery. He was going to California,
he explained, to visit his oldest son, who
was a prosperous fruit raiser on the coast.
He 'had engaged a berth in the Pullman,
and he asked the conductor where it was.
"Right here, sir,” said the conductor, as
he pointed out the-section.
J "Do you sleep in that way, all curled up
i on a seat?” he asked, in amazement.
"No, it will be made up w'hen you are
I ready to retire.”
j The man did not exactly know what
1 "made up” meant, but he asked no more
! questions. He sat in the drawing room
and smoked, and finally he said to the con
ductor:
"Well, guess I'll turn in.”
"All right, sir; your berth is made up.”
The man walked into the main part of
the car. Then he went back to the draw
ing room.
"They all look alike,” he said. “You
will have to show me mine.”
The conductor showed him to bis berth
and left him. The man looked at it; then
he went back to the rear platform of the
car and closed the door. In a few minutes
, he stuck his head in the car, and shouted:
"Look out; I’m coming,” and he made a
run for his berth with his clothes, or most
of them, under his arm. In the morning he
stuck his head out between the curtains,
and called the conductor.
"How in thunder am I going to get out
I on the platform to dress with all these
1 people looking?"
, The conductor explained to him that he
would have to dress in the berth. He did
so, but it took him two hours.

Alfred Austin's Poem on Co-Operation
Between England and America.
The ondon Daily Mail, under the ca ‘ion
I of "A Voice from the West,” this moi vng
j prints a poem by Alfred Austin, the. poet
I laureate, which is based on the idea of co
l operation between Great Britain and the
j United States. The peom follows:
i "What is the voice I hear
j On the wind of the western sea?
Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear,
And say what the voice may be.
’Tis a proud, free people, calling loud
To a people proud and free.
“And it says to them, Kinsmen, hail,
We severed have been too long;
I 'Now let us have done with a. worn out
tale,
A tale of an ancient wrong,
And our friendship last long as love doth
last.
And be stronger than death is strong.
’‘Answer them, sons of the self-same race,
And blood of the self-same clan,
Let us speak with each other face to face,
And answer as man to man.
And loyally love and trust each other
As none but free men can.
"Now fling them out to the breeze —
Shamrock, thistle and rose,
And the Star-Spangled Banner unfurl with
these
A message to friends and foes,
Wherever the sails of peace are seen
And wherever the war wind blows.
"A message to bond and thrall to wake,
For wherever we come, we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall rock and
quake,
And his menace be void and vain,
For you are lords of a strong, young land,
And we are lords of vhe main.”
