alone. The recent cyclone in Cairo's halls
of learning confirmed me in this way of
thinking.
The natural difference between the white
and black races is so great they never can
associate together with any benefit to each
other; aud the larger number of negroes.
recognizing this, would prefer to live apart
with separate institutions. doubt if the
question of mixed schools would ever occur
to them if designing, lying politicians did
not suggest il at every election. But that
question, with many others, has been sug-
gested, and in spite of twenty years dodg-
ing after the Republican ignis fatuus,
which at first was "forty acres and mule"
and later on equality in office, the black
man still hangs upon the the words Of those
who make q political pet of him only long

of their rights, if it were needed. That
was very dramatic and decidedly telling,
the said member being a sound one, not
having been laid on the late "altar."

them at their word, think that what was
said was meant aud conclude when they
hear the same thing over and over that it
must be a species of rebuke for being salts

they blindly make rush for something
different, Not necessarily something more

enjoyed by the hsranguer and his family.
Take the recent dash for the High school

| white children had, since their own build
ing WAS supplied with teachers qualified to
instruct their pupils for some to come.
