A Clean Of Truth.

g We have frequently spoken of the fall
lacy which represents political right to
be social equality. But still the acc,isa-
tion is made by the cunning and believed
by the ignorant that great party of the
American people is in favor Of bestow-
ing social equality, on the negro. Men
and newspapers talk fiippantly about
miscegenation and about social equality.
They would haze Us believe that there is

Surely the distinction between social and
political life are abroad enough for all to

All white men who are voters are not So

not admit the stable boy to terms of So
cial intimacy. II may be a moral wrong
that he does not, bnt it is certainly not
political one. The negro is now the so
cial equal of all who feel disposed to
make him SO. Any gentleman, if he
feels disposed to invite the dirtiest negro
on the wharves to his table. and regale
him with the choicest viands and the
richest wines, may do it to his hearts
content. No law can be made to prevent
it, because social privileges are not a
subject of legal enactment. We cannot

pretend that social and political equality

1t is political falsehood, in which there
is no shadow of truth, and those who

A Man Without an Enemy.

Heaven help the man who imagines
he can dodge .'enemies" by trying to
please everybody. If such an individual
ever succeeded, we should be glad to
know it. Not that we believe in a mans

beams to knock his head against dis

elbowing. and crowding all who differ
with him. That again is another ex-
treme- Other people have right to

spect you more for turning your coat
every day to match the color of theirs.
Wear your own colors, spite of the wind
