Question Cun Now He Settled With-
out Bloodshed—Delay I. Dangerous.
Legislation of No Avail—Purling of
Ways Has lleen Iteaelied.
Mostgo.mory, Ala., May 9.—The fea
ture of today's session of the nice con
ference was the speech of the Hon. John
Temple Graves of Georgia. Mr, Graves’
speech was one of the ablest efforts of
his life and shows a deep stndy of the
problem. Tho distinguished Georgian
was never in better voice and was given
the closest attention throughout.
Mr. Graves paid tribute to tho efforts
of Council, Booker Washington, Bishop
Turner and other leading negroes, but
his speech shows that he is uncompro
misingly in favor of a separation of the
races.
He contends tliut there is no room in
the industrial field for the negro, and
that education only awakens ambitions
which can never be realized, unless there
is a separation. To moko his argument
more pointed Mr. Graves refors to tho
time when the Lord led the children of
Israel from the land of Egypt, thns re
leasing them from bondage.
The speaker dwelt at length upon the
race problem as it presents Itself to the
thinking man, touching npou the ne
gro's industrial, political, social and
civil standing in the United States. He
stated that the industrial education of
the negro only tended to bring him in
closer competition with the whito man,
thns augmenting the bitter fooling al
ready existing between the two races.
Proceeding Mr. Graves presents meth
ods for the solution of the problem,
and advocates the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment. He regards the enfran
chisement of the negro as the American
mistake of tho ceutnry, but the disfran-
chi cincut of the negro would not be a
permanent solution.
Must Separate the Hares.
The only permanent solution, he says,
is the separation of the races. Proceed
ing, ho says:
?‘Ou this great question 1 stand now
where I have always stood—where Web-
Henry Clay; where
stor stood and . _ .
Thomas Jefferson stood, and Abraham
Lincoln, and Henry Grady, and Council
and Turner and the rest—where in time
all men will stand who see the light and
dure to face it.
‘.Separation is the logical, the Inev
liable, the only way. No other proposed
solution will wtnnd the test of logic and

"Education complicates the problem
Every year of enlightenment increases
the negro’s apprehension of bis position,
of his merits and attainment, and of ths
inconsistency between bis real and con
stitutionnl status in the republic. Edu
cation brings perception, and ambition
follows, witli aggressive assertion against
the mm walls of u prejudice that has
never yielded aud will never yield.' The
conflict is irrepressible and inevitable.
Time (.'onipllcutcs Problem.
Time complicities the problem by
giving increasing numbers and addi
tiouni provocation to the negro, and iu
creasing danger to tbe struggle which
logic und destiny render certuin.
"Politics complicates tho problem by
bringiug times of fierce civie conflict
when the pussions and prejudices of fac
tion may be moved to partisan align
ment with tbe deep and larking <~
gers of tbe raco question.

hereafter.
The time it propitious and the ooun
try is ripe for separation.”
Iu conclusion, the speaker says:
“Away with experiment! Let us have
done with temperildng. Away with
timidity aud hesitation! Let us face the
great question like men I Let ns grapple
the mighty issue bravely and once for
all. I.ct us see the end from tho legin-

And Almighty God, the last immi
