Frederick Douglass His Lecture on William the Silent His Popularity The Outlook of the Colored Race Its Young Men.

Correspondence of the Democrat and Chronicle. Washington, March 18, 1885. Washington has had no lack of good lectures this winter with all the lists of its attractions, nor have they lacked genuine support. Monday evening gave the choice between Frederick Douglass and Henry Ward Beecher. Both had good houses.

The subject of Mr. Douglass' lecture was William the Silent a scholarly epitome of the man and his times its interest intensified by the parallelism drawn between William and Abraham Lincoln between the war in the Netherlands and that of the Rebellion. Those who have not heard Frederick Douglass since the stormy days of abolition conventions, would hardly recognize the fiery denunciator of 4 4 The sum of all villainies in the snowy headed, quiet speaker, "who is, perhaps more closely confined to his paper than his old time ad-nirers of his rousing extempore ad-, dresses -ould wish him to be. The vigorous vitaaty characterizing the battle time of his heroic life hot so much lessened as subdued. The evolution of a long resistance to oppression is the broad humanitarianism hich enlists him in the cause of any oppressed people under the sun.

4 4 Do not strive merely to be an honor to your race, he said to one of the young men of the many socking his council. 4 4 Be an honor to humanity to all races. The press, or rather a partisan faction, has been pleased to circulate of late that Frederick Douglass is separated from his people has lost the leadership. If so, 'tis marvellously hidden. Such a change would be, in one sense, a release for him, and give to his declining years the repose in his library at 4 4 The Cedars which he is always hoping to reach the dreamed of restful vacution he will hardly realize while he is so cheerfully responsive to the demands upon him.

There are few evenings he may enjoy by his own fireside. He must drive back to the city four miles or more to attend some one of the literary societies or debating clubs he has been instrumental in forming, and whose members would consider his absence a grievous lack. He must write papers and letters oh, so many of the latter helpful letters most public men would never take the time to write. There is no better place for studying 4 4 The Coming American Negro, than at one of the debating societies, composed largely of colored young men. I attended one last evening.

One hundred and more were present both sexes, all ages and every shade of the race. Professor Greener and severul men of marked intillei.ual ability, were present. When Mr. Douglass came in, a iittle late, there was spontaneous cheering. The paper of the evening had been postponed Jor his arrival.

The subject was 4 4 The Right of Woman to the ballot, and it may be doubted if the white young men of Washington or of any other city could handle that question more logically or comprehensively than did the young black men who took part in the stirring debate, the ideas of the lame in grammar and the halt in pronunciation were as clear and sharply defined as were those of the college bred and skilled in dialects. The blacker thi speaker, however, the more intense his opposition to Woman suffrage, as a rule. But how merry they were, with all their seriousness. Nobody lost temper, sharp and direct as were some of the quick retorts. The subject of the next debate was announced after Mr.

Douglass had been called to his feet, and had made a few pleasing remarks in his happiest way as 4 4 Dynamitic Forces." Twenty-five years ago, and how few of those young men, slave-born on southern plantations, gave promise of ever discussing in polished rhetoric, and with fitting quotations from the classics, the vital questions of the day What struck me forcibly was the knowledge possessed by them of the principles of the republic of which they are citizens their interpretation of its constitution. Who wonders that they talk of "the Southern Republic!" If slave-born blacks have given their race such onward movement since the emancipation, what may we not expect in the next decade even of a leadership thoroughly awake to the limitations of its present environment 1 The Democratic guillotine has not yet sent the head of the present recorder of the District of Columbia into the basket nor ha? Frederick Douglass joined the processional to the White-house, nor will he. It is hard to see how he can be removed and not disturb the eternal harmonies of civil service reform but then, there are many ways of bringing political devices to pass, and possibly he will go with the rest good and faithful servant that he has been, as cannot be denied. A charge of unfaithfulness was trumped up to be promptly silenced by his response. The income from the office is greatly overrated, as is the amount of Mr.

Douglass' 4 4 paying investments. He stoutly denies that he is worth "over $300,000," as the press is circulating. He has a comfortable competence and will doubtless go abroad this summer! His popularity with his people was expressed in their unanimous choice of him for the orator for emancipation day. One of the most hopeful signs of the colored race is their growing effort for Belf-elevation as a race, the foundation of industrial schools and other educational agencies by themselves. They are learning to stand alone.

4 4 We are making glow but sure progress upward, said Dr. CrummelL rector of St. Lukes "but we must have a leading clas3 as we as individual leaders before we can advance rapidly and permanently. The class is coming. It Is something more than nebulous in Washington to- dy- j.

If they can decide these weighty matters at 17 or 18 years of age, they can certainly decide after advising with professors and fellow students whether they shall make tip their supplementary course with more or less Greek, or Latin, or mathematics, or moral philosophy, or science, or history, or literature. The third question discussed by Dr. White relates to a closer union of the col leges and. universities of this state.

He would have these institutions confine their efforts to giving instruction. Their present additional work of examining students and conferring degrees he would have placed in the hands of the universitv of New York. He says: 1 Whenever such a system is adopted, the regents of the state of New York as an examining body, will doubtless employ examin ing experts in the various sciences and literatures. These experts would probably hold examinations either by papers forwarded to each institution, or by meeting candidates at various accessible Centres In the state. When those candidates worthy of degrees had thus been tested, the degrees would be solemnly conferred by the chancellor of the board of regents.

A degree thus obtained and con-feired would, in my opinion, be worth more than that of anyclber institution on this continent. To proitfite still further union of the colleges and unive.Jitiea of this state and to make them efficient in the highest degree possible, Dr. White favors the establishment of scholarships and fellowships. 4 First, as to scholarships. 4 4 1 he adds, 4 have the brightest and best young men from the academies and high schools in all parts of the state, compete for them at examinations in various subjects, and I would have a certain number of scholarships worth three or four hundred dollars a year, for four years, con -ferred upon ten or fifteen or twenty of those who pass the best examination.

Each of the successful young men should be allowed to choose the college or university at which he will continue his studies. Next, as to the fellowships. I would have the regents establish examinations carefully carried out, in the more important studies which are pursued in our colleges and universities. These should be open to candidates from the graduating classes of the various colleges and universities, and I would have fifteen or twenty of those so endowed as to yield an income to the successful competitors of six or sevvi hundred dollars a year for, say two years, thus enabling these choicest young men to perfect themselves in their chosen studies for the good and the honor of the state. It is a fact, as Dr.

White points out, that many brilliant young man, who give great promise in some study, have been compelled by poverty to relinguish their favorite pursuit and 4 to sink down into the ordinary ranks of some profession for which they were not especially fitted, never to be heard of more. These scholarships and fellowships would be of great assistance to such men and in calculable value to the state. For the preservation of men for the work for which they are peculiarly fitted can not fail to add to public wealth and prosperity. The further advantages of this system of scholarships and fellowships are set forth by Dr. White as follows 4 4 In the first place, it would be a most powerful stimulus to all the students of the state.

The scholarships would stimulate earnest study in the academies and high schools the fellowship would do the same thing for the colleges and universities. Next it would tend to bring out any excellences in the system of instruction at each individual academy, high school, college or university. Each would thus have the benefit arising from the experience of all. One institution would show itself especially strong, perhaps, in classics, another in mathematics, another in the moral sciences, another in the natural sciences, another in applied science, and each of these thus revealing strength would serve to stimulate the excellences and improve the methods of all the others. I can think of nothing so fruitful for good in the whole educational system of the state as a plan like this.

Next, it would tend to elevate and strengthen the teacher's profession, and especially to invigorate the teachers and professors themselves. A successful teacher or professor in any department would become rapidly known throughout the state would secure promotion and advancement; would rapidly obtain the reward to which he is entitled. His reputation would not be circumscribed by the little village in which he teaches, but would extend throughout the state even throughout the nation. it would greatly strengthen the board of regents and the state university, including all the colleges and universities combined ia it. It would raise all in the estimation of the citizens of the state.

Its influence would be felt in the humblest cabin of the state where there is a bright boy and I am convinced that, as the board of regents goes into this second century of its existence, there is nothing it could do by which more good wouL? be nccompiifhed to the institutions under charge, to itself, to the state, to every youth in all our institutions of learning of every grade, than by offering this incentive.

Mrs. Chanfrau has been relating a comi cal experience tnac sue naa once. She was playing in The Rent Day, with the late illiam B.

Mrs. Chanfrau's little son, Frank, was in the front of the house, in charge of her. sister, Miss Mary Baker. Observing Floyd's vain efforts to arouse his mother, the child cried out aloud, greatly to the amusement of actors and au dience, "Mamma mammal wake up; pilly wants to talk to you. Oxe of the reasons advanced forthe failure to reduce telephone tolls is the impossibility of making a bare living.

In connection with this, the following from the Utica Herald is full of interest i The American Bell telephone company reports that for ten months to January last its earnings were $3, 067, -544, against $2,295,549 forthe preceding year. For the same period its expenses were $687,878, against $820, 163. The company declared 'dividends for ten months in 18S4 of $1,440, 315, against $1,051,479 for the preceding year. In the former year the dividends came very near to fifty per cent, of the total earnings in the last ten months of 1884 the dividends were nearly three fourths of the earnings. Forthe capital actually paid in the dividends are monstrous.

The users of telephones can reckon that seventy per cent, of all the moneys which they pay to the parent company are for dividend oa inflated stock, without any just consideration. What a system of extortion and robbery 1 Dr. Andrew D. White, president of Cornell university, has published in neat pamphlet form, under the title of Some Important Questions in Higher Education, the remarks that he made at the conference of the presidents of the colleges of the state of New York at the Twenty-second university convocation in Albany last July. It is a brief, lucid and stimulating presentation of his views with reference to outside influences on the profession of teaching, elective studies, university degrees, and university fellowships.

Dr. White's discussion of the first two topics which occupies nearly half of the pamphlet, was a reply to some remarks that Dr. Anderson, president of Rochester university, had made. Dr. Anderson contended that reform in every profession must come from that profession.

Dr. White argues, on the other hand, that it is influences outside of aoy given profession that have done more than anything else to make that profession progressive. He cites the profession of law and the profession of medicine. With regard to the latter, he speaks of the germ theory of Koch and Pasteur, a theory that is destined to revolutionize the science and practice of medicine. But neither Koch nor Tasteur are physicians.

As to the elective system, so vigorously do-fended by Dr. White, it may be well, in view of the confusion in the popular mind in regard to it, to give his explanation of it. 'The elective system, he says, 4 as it is pursued in various universities is generally carried out in one of two ways.
