THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X No. 223 NORTHEN’S GREAT SPEECH He Indulged in Plainer Talk Than | Bostonians Often Listen to- The speech delivered by ex Govern or Norihen in Boston Monday upon I he relations of the white man and the negro was an exceedingly effective presentation of the case. He showed that lynching was peculiar to no part of tbe country and cited instances in Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and other Northern states. He to<d how the Southern white people had labored to elevate the negro and how the trou b e that had arisen were traceable to politics and false teaching* which had stimulated the vicious element of tbs race to outrages upon the whites. He maintained that no accusation of evil tendencies could be brought upon tbe m»j irity of the negroes but that the crimes which shocked humanity were co»6n»d only to a .small percentage. Governor Northen, however, was not content with any ad captumdum argu ment, but he laid down in terse sen- ( tmc.s the principle that the South . must ba-ruled by the white man as 1 the representative of the race that not < only did but must continue to do mi- < nate. He indulged in plainer speech than the Bostonians bare beard in many a day and gave them an alto* gether different point of view from that which they have traditionally < held He was bold enough to dec'are * flatly that the Dutch, England and ‘ New England had thrust the blacks upon the South and that it was not ] for tbe Northern people to do other wise than to withhold uncharitable < criticism and to leave' the Southern white people to work out the problem i as best they could assuring bis bearers > that, under the Providence of God, the true solution would, in time, be reach 1 ed. His auditors beard from Governor Northen, for the first time, doubtless, 1 the real story of the emormity of Sam Hose’s crime and he asked them r squarely what they would have done under the circumstances Heatripped ] the proposition naked and set it before t them, and we may well imagine that there will be lees said hereafter byway 1 of sympathetic expression in behalf of the inexpressible brute He deliberate- ‘ ly charged that the great mass of ne groes in the South were iu a happier , state than those who had found homes in the North and he inveighed force- j fully against tbe policy of tbe admin- g istration in trying to put the bottom rail on top in the Southern slates, t Referring to Bibb county and the ’ effort to establish a rural delivery system here, Governor Northen said : “Hon. Charles Bartlett, representing the Macon district in the present con- g grees, upon application, secured rural mail delivery for the county of Bibb, Mr. Gaitree, the representative of tbe posloffice department, went to Macon, 1 and together with the Macon post master, investigated the matter and located the rou’es Mr. Bartlett was ( assured that such carriers would be ‘ selected as were acceptable to tbe peo- 1 pie. Quite a number of good white 1 people made application, and on Mr Gaitree’s recommendation, two were 1 selected. “Their bonds were sent to the post- 1 master at Macon with instructions to have them filled out, and the carriers to commence service May 1. A day : • I or two after the postmaster received a telegram from the chief of tbe free mail delivery department, asking him to hold up the bonds of tbe persons appointed. Next day a telegram came stating the free delivery would be es tabliahed, provided the binds of two negroes, naming them, who bad been appointed in the place o' the white men, were filled out and returned. Mi. Bartlett went to Washington and protested that the farmers did not want negro carriers to deliver their mails in absence of all but tbe women of tbe families from home Two days later a telegram announced that the free delivery had been postponed. It must be a negro or nothing, says ths government to the South. “When the government, appoints a minister to Austria, and the cable grain comes‘persona non grata,’ the name is recalled and another substitu ted at once. Why Austria and not the South? Why dominate the South with an appointee who is ‘persona non grata,’ when Austiia can get what she wants?

Let the North answer me, why?” If Governor Northen had done noth ing else than to bring out this point be would have justified his journey to Boston. It was put strongly enough to reach into the very cabinet room at Washington.

ROVAL BAKINS ROWOCR 00., NEW YORK. > An interesting case is the subject of diplomatic negotiations between the governments of Mexico and the United States. Air, and Mrs. Rich, citiz a neof the I cited States, were visiting in Mexico. At Juan z, near the border, Mrs Rich stabbed her husband. She immediately took him across the bor der into tbe United Slates, where be died. Mexico has made a demand for tbe surrender of the woman, who claims American citizenship and al leges that this government has no right to extradite one of its own citis zens. The point is said to be a new one. Should the demand of Mtxico be denied, the courts of this country could hardly take cogn’/inco of the case, since the stabbing occurred in foreign territory. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they caxnot reach the diseased portion of the car, There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Northen delivered a fine ad | dress in Boston the other night, at : the conclusion of which he invited the I colored brother (a negro bishop; who I did not indorse all he said, to come to i see him in Atlanta. To a Southern I man, there is no inconsistaucy in such lan invitation. The Ex-Governor cet* tainly has enough friends among the colored people of Georgia, who do agree with him, to take care of his guest, in a social way. The invitation does not mean anything else, but only meant that the speaker would be glad to meet and discuss the situation on Georgia soil. In this connection we call attention to the readiness of the women of Georgia, to assist in tbe work, as intimated in a note to Gov. ; Northen, while he was s; eaking —. f ~ : = ■ - ■J i ’ I;?
