WHAT BLACK EDITORS THINK.
Quotations from the leading colored news
papers-Opini0ns sound and otherwise.

REFERRING to the Irish troubles,
the Cincinnati Reoiew draws a par
allel between the Irish and Negro
races and concludes in the following
sanguinary strain:
We do not advocate nor even favor
assassination but perhaps a little of
it in days past and in opportune mo-
ments would have relegated to OBJ
livion this color prejudice which even
to-day turks over our people, blight
ing their best interest.
PERHAPS IT is.
We WISH success for Republicanism
and we wish to take the shortest and
most expedient route to secure it.
If by supporting Independents we
aid a free ballot and justice before
the courts, we say it is the proper
thing to do.-Aaaata, Ga, Blade
NOT AN UNFoUNDED COMPLAINT.
TRUE or false, we colored people
are given to believe, as do the poor
people of the country in general, that
in all judicial proceedings we are
made to pay the penalty, whereas, if
we were white, and as in the case of
the poor if they were rich, we should
escape. Nothing is more common
than such belief That which is most
to be regretted 10 regard to this mat
ter is the substantial truthfulness of
the complaint. philadelphia Record.
IDENTICAL WITH IRISH OPINION.
For EVERY DROP of blood shed by
the hand of an assassin in Ireland
within the last six centuries ten
thousand murderers have been COM
mitted by the sanction of Parliament
and by order of British courts

FACT.
CHALMERS, lately ousted from Mr..
Lynch's seat in Congress, apostatizes
from Bourbonisn, and will try to
Mahoneize Mississippi. A cause has
frequently been injured by its trends.
Indianapolis Leader.
NOT DISCIPLE OF EMERSON.
ONE CREED is enough. One God is
enough. One master is enough. A
man should have convictions and
stand by them though the stars fell
and the rivers ran dry-Kansas City
Press.
STAND BY THE OLD ORGANIZATION.
LET us no longer complain of the
Republican party. 1t is grand
party and embodies in it's principles
the broadcast iberality which we as a
race can desire Washington, d. G.

THE BACKwooDs PREACHER MUST GO.
THERE WAS time when indecorous
expletives were quite fashionable in
Southern Methodism, but at this late
day of progress it must be abolished;
or if the preacher persists in disgust
ing his congregation, he will be
forced to step down and out, that a
better and more intelligent theologian
may be his successor.-San Francisco
Elevator.
THE ILLINOIS COLD SHOULDER.
WITH ALL the influence of Senator
Logan and the host of Republican
legislators still there has never been
a first class appointment given to a
colored man in this state. The
colored voters are watching this
Chicago Conseruator.
A SOLID CHUNK OF WISDOM.
BOURBON DEMOCRACY shall crumble
into thing of the past, when the
poor whites realize that they are as
much the tools of the rich as the
blacks are the victims, and when they
realize that the cause of the poor men,
whether they have black or white
skins, is a common cause.--Neu York
Globe.
SO DO WE.
MALONE has made his mark, but we
believe that the Sunny South stands
most in need of Lynches. Huntsville,
Ala., Gazette.
THEY ALL LOVE him.
The PRESIDENT has endeared him
self to all classes in the South regard
less of party.-Neao Orleans Republican.
A LATE SPRING LIE.
THERE is colored lady living in
South Carolina, who came from Africa
ITO years ago. She can remember
her parents and many similar things
when she left, among them that she
was sold by her uncle.-.Savannah,
Ga, Echo.
1T IS FOOLISH.
ACCOUNTS of the prosperity or ad-
versity of Liberia are so conflicting
that it is next to impossible to find
out whether it is wise or foolish to
send colored folks there.-Neao York
Progressive american.
