Young Men as Leaders.

Shall we reverse the sound philos-
Ophy of "Old men for counsel and
young men for war ?" sneeringly
asks our superanuated leaders who
ara 10th to give up positions for
wi ich others have become more
qualified. Not at all. The edu-
rated young men of the colored
lace want the benefit of the counsel
II the old. and venerated fathers
They respect and love them, not
alone for their gray hairs, but for
III ir worth, the purity Of their char
scter which in passing through the
terrible experience of slavery was
a,,oroughly sifted and tested. With
,.verential regard they look up to
iie knowledge and wisdom which
j. The fruit of bitter experience.
Yet there are living issues grow
JIG out of the present condition of
il.e country which require new blood
anI different qualifications. Issues
t',at require trained minds and in
tcpendent spirits impelled by high
Ea.bltion and youthful vigor. Besides
l;udence we want vim, endurance,
! rtitude. the courage to do and
dare. and as a foundation upon which
{, rest all, a thorough education.
We can not expect to find all these
qualities in our old leaders, and So
y must offer as a reward for their
cultivation and requirement by our
3"ung men the positions of leader
o: ips.
The men who have led us thus
f'r will serve the race best now by
Gracefully retiring and iutrusting

let them offer their blessings on
tie young heads and bid them God
g'eed. Stimulated by hopes of re-
ward and inspired by worthy exam
pies, we have every reason to look
for great results from the new lead
ership. In politics why should we
not regain our lost representation in
Congress-. as well and in the Senate
as in the House But we look for
ward to more than simply regaining
lost ground, ws look to higher
prestige of our nane established by

serving leadership. Let our young

Prospective Politics.

uC k1O1ltACSSA oAso0S4On ~ UsSO ~ SNA'AS
now gives rise to much speculation
as to coming changes. The success Of
Malone in Virgins, of Lowe in North
Alabama and SPeer in Georgia. with
the unmistakable tendency toward
Independence of large and influential
hitherto Democratic elements 10 these
States, are signs which can not be ig-
nored and which to-day are terrible
thorns in the flesh Of the Democracy.
The importance of the result Of the
Southern contested election cases il
it influence on the situation can hard
" be estimated. The Democratic
methods used to secure these seats
together with their persistent strug-
gle to hold them have all come to
light in the Investigations and debates
in Congress. While the investiga-
tlons have strengthened the Indepen-
dents and Republicans before the
country, by showing how their rights
have been trampled upon, it has al
SO added to their popularity at home.
The contests have widened the breach
between the divided Democrats by
forcing them to take sides. The d.
vision is thus widened, and the ener-
gies and enthusiasm OF opposing par
ties earnestly enlisted for future sue
cess.
The Republicans look forward to
better days, and with Lynch and
Maekey in Congress will make strenu-
GUS efforts to redeem their lost repre-
sentation. The Republican constitu-
encies of the South now represented
by Democrats may be expected to
make a change. In Alabama the
seat occupied by Mr.. Shelley which
is declared vacant will be vigorously
contested bv the Republicans. and
with proper management that Dis
trict will defeat any Democratic can
didate overwhelming. In the Fall
elections we should not only retain
Lowe but elect three or four other
Representatives All that is needed
is harmonious and united effort
Should the opposition fail now they
will have thrown away great oppor-
tunity.
1t is true that the S,uth il now un.
der Democratic control. But the AS
tendency of that pa. ty does not rest
upon the will Of the maj ajority Of its cit
izens. Whenever this popular will
can obtain control through tue bal
lot box the Democratic party rs now
constituted must fall. Either it must
reorgan;ze and place itself in accord
with the progressive, liberal ideas o t
the age, or it must give way to par
ty that will. The future party of the
South is the party Of public Schools
free and untrammeled ballot, free
speech and free press, Internal i'm
provements, and an uncompromisinG
advocate of equal rights and fair play
to men of all races. and an impart tial
execution of the laws.
We predict that all Southern par
ties must eventually vie with each
other in their efforts to prove them
selves the most faithful advocates of
these principles. When this takes
place, we may bid farewell to the col
or line, and to the many unfortunat-
complications Of the present situation.
The better class of citizens, colored
and white, will then naturally unite
for the common good and the gener-
al advancement of their beloved coun

plants are now tull grown and gener-

sustained and still good, if not an
average yield might result, The fl
nal outcome now depends upon the
absence Of frost and the prevalence Of
