FRANCIS ADAMS TELLS WHY IT EXISTS And Intimates That the Taking Away the Franchise From the Nc gro Only Can Dissolve It. Mr. Chas. Francis Adams, of Bos ,on, Mass., recently made a remark Able spctch at Richmond, Va., from .vhich we make the extract below. Mr. Adams said: "And now at last I come1 to the natter which brings me here?the political fact of a solid South, iu /olving as it does the Afro-American ?ace problem. "The raison d'etre of a solid South ?s not far to seek. We all are cog lizant of it. It is founded in the hateful memory of what is known is the reconstruction period; and ; in lurking apprehension of action in the shape of new force bills, o.' a reduction .of political power under the possible operation of the Four teenth amendment to the constitu .ion. Tha Republican party, it is believed, still feels a secret hanke: Ing for the negro vote. "And now I come to the delicate jround. I, a New Englander, a Yan kee of the Yankees, an anti-slavery .nan from my birth, an ex-officer Oi :he union army, a lineal descendant Tf a signer of the Declaration of rndependence, brought up in the i'aith?I, being all this by tradition, experience and environment, am to talk to you of a problem largely in its present form the creation of those of whom I am one, and a problem which you have always with you. "In the North and in the commu 'nity to which I belong, a great change in opinion, and consequent feeling, on this grave problem has been steadily going on for many years. I have watched the change ?I have undergone it, and observ ed its process in myself. It is inter esting. To understand it we must go back' about two generations, or, say sixty years, into the scriptural, and, so to speak, "Uncle .Tom" pe riod. The African was then a broth er?descended from a common an cester?to-wit, Noah. "Coming at once to the point? as to speak, taking the bull by the horns?let me say that I fully con cur in the remark of some observ ing Englishman?John Morley,, i think, now Lord Morley?made a year or two ago as the result of what he saw and heard during a stay In this country. H'9 pronounced the African race problem in America as being as nearly isoTuble as a human race could be. It is; and so far as we in the United States are con cerned, its insoluability rests in the fact that it offers a negative?gives the lie direct?to fundamental prin ciple of our social and political life and material development. The American system, as we all know, was founded on the assumed basis of a common humanity. That is?, absence of absolutely fundamental racial characteristics was accepted as an established truth. Those of all races were welcome to our shores. They came, aliens; they and their descendants would become citizens first, natives afterwards. It was a process first of assimiliation, and then of absorption. On this all de pended. There could be no perma nent divisional lines. The theory was now plainly broken down. We are confronted by obvious fact, as undeniable as if as hard, that the African will only partiailly assim ilate, and that he cannot ue ab sorbed. He remains a distinct alien element in the body politic; an ele ment from smallness of quantity negligible in the South. What is to be the outcome? What is to be done? A foreign substance, It can neither be assimilated nor thrown off. "This was only fifty years ago. yet the discussion and contentions of the day seem now strangely remote, archiac even. There is no ques tion, however, that, absurd as it sounds to us, the reconstruction sys tem was rested on that as a bash. So Robert E. Lee was disfranchised, while the ballot was conferred on the freemen he had himself liber ated. Further comment would be superfluous. I am glad to remem ber that 1 am separated from the Republican party on that issue. "Meanwhile the subtle change of thought was going slowly on. The scientific was gradually, impercept ably superseding the scriptural; the Ham and Japhet and brotherhood of man theory of descent was re ceding?was, indeed, no longer gravely advanced. Darwin's "Origin of Species" was published in 1S59; his "Descent of Man' in 1S71, and in the light of his researches and the influences necessarily drawn from them, the Afro-American race prob lem assumed a new shape. Hayti and Jamaica also have served as ob ject lessons. The solution of the problem became in the eyes of some, and those a constantly and diflicu!: proposition. After all. the promis cus conferring of the ballot had not solv d it, for from so doing, it had only served to complete what be luic wat> ai ucsl teiixuiy comuiaeu. At- it now presents itself it Is simply this?to devise some practical sys /tem, ether than one of slavery, wuereby two races of widely dif I ferent interests, attainments and I ideals can live together in peace and I harmony under a Republican form of government." * A Resting Place. The country's always somewhere Howe'er the city grinds, Cool, grassy fields are waiting Howe'er the dust cloud blinds, ihe oaks we knew aforetime Are each one in their place, And butterflies drift past them And cool cloud shadows race. Howe'er work mars the .pattern Of things we planned to do, Howe'er dreams of our dreaming Lag in the coming true, The country waits off yonder With balm for work-worn hearts. Vistas of blowing blossoms To soothe the eye that smarts. Howe'er the world misuse us, Howe'er the years shall pile Their burdens on our shoulders, Out yonder all the while The country wai's to greet us With things we used to know, The blossom-sprinkled uplands, Tree branches bending low. Life can not be all futile, We scarcely dare to fail When somewhere 'way out yonder The calling of the quail Rings clear across the morning, And while the distant wood Walts with its shadows for us The world is always good. And there are laughs of children To meet us down the way, And the gold of the sunset Wipes all the dun and gray Out of the world before us, And, howe'er we shall fare, Whate'er our climbs or stumbles The country's always there. GIVKS WIFE UP To Man Who He Thought Xeeded Her Most. Petersburg, Ind.?A story, strange as fiction, is told by Sherman Kime, a well to do farmer of this county, who left in search of a faithless wife about two weeks ago, and, posing as a stock buyer, traveled through dif rerent parts of Arkansas and finally located the woman at Pinkney, Ark., where she hid taken refuge wit'i a married sister. The husband had given her $700 a few days before she left home, hut most of this money is in an Oakland City, Ind., bauk. Having lost her check book, Mrs. Kime was almost without resources when he discov ered her hiding place. She wore good clothes when she left home, but these had become badly soiled in the two weeks and he could hardly believe she was the. same woman. She confessed to having left home because of her love for her girlhood sweetheart, John McArnold, who she was prevented from marrying by her family when she was sixteen. Mc Arnold later had married another woman and the latter had died, leaving him a family of children to rear. Her love for him, she said, had caused her to abandon her India na 'home to join her former sweet heart in Arkansas. She begged her husband with tears and kisses to re turn to his old home and forget and forgive her. This so angered Kime that he de cided to go to the farm of McArnold and "settle" with him. He pro cured a horse and being well sup plied with cash, went to the farm of McArnold. He told him he was a stockmaii and wished a price on his calves. In the course of the con versation McArnold became confi dential with the supposed stockmau and related to him his troubles, telling of the loss of his wife a few months previously, and adding that just the week before, from the want of proper care, one of his children had died. He said that all he had besides some worthless Arkansas land, was a few head of cattle on the farm. He felt his loss so heavily that tears streamed down his face as he related the story of his life to the man who had come to avenge the wrong he had done to both him self and his family. Disclosing his identity, Kime sud denly bade the man who ruined his Indiana home farewell, returning to Pinkney, where he again saw his wife, and, bidding her farewell, started for home. In telling the story to a friend at the station he said: "When I went to McArnold's farm T had murder in my heart. I meant to avenge the great wrong he did me and had my plans arranged never to return to my Indiana home, but his story was so touching that I thought that if he loved the woman as she said he did he needed her services worse than [, but on giving her up I lost everything that was dear to me in this world." Kime has returned to his farm west of this city and has already consulted lawyers and will bring divorce pro ceedings against his wife at once, so as to give her a chance to marry the man she left him for. It is estimated that South Carolina I will gather over one million bales of cotton this year.
