THE BOOK OR THE LASH

While in Concord last week pro-
fessional white gentleman asked us
if we did not think the lash a better
moralizer for the colored man than
the book. Our answer was: The
proper way to begin with the colored
man is the same as with other men.
Give him proper moral training. I'm
prove his intellect so he will know
how to appreciate the moral obliga-
tons of man. We do not want so
cial equality, for there are many
whites we are as much above associs-
ting with as the best whites are above
us. We told him the white people
know but little of the better class of
colored people and make great mis-
take in judging us by the idle run
ners and loafers on our streets.
When he said he would rather labor
on q farm and maui rails than not,
we reminded him that he didn't do
it, and many colored men choose to
make an honest living by their intel
lect at the same time improving the
condition of their race. We remind
ed him of the physical make up of
some people, that we Ourself find
second-class cars on railroads gener-
ally offensive from the use of cigars
Intoxicating liquors, &c, and when a
colored lady of refinement pays first
class fare she should not be subjected
to these. outrages; she should have
coed fare, but we do not care a fig
for riding with white people. We
told him our experience teaches us
there is no difference in the races.
The difference is in the way they are
raised, their opportunities, &c. We
see illiterate white people are just as
boisterous as black people and act in
the same way when they have had
equal opportunities. He soon got
enough of us and quit asking ques-
tons.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
Your remarks on Saturday under the above
caption, seem, to at least one Of your readers,
most judicious and timely. OF statues both
equestrian" and pedestrian" Washington
already has more than enough Our few re-
naming reservations ought TO be preserved for
something more imposing and ornamental than
these conventional efigiss and trust that
your article sthe beginning Of discussion which
VIII either discover or create general sentiment
TO this effect. 1t Is q matter for profound rc-
greet that this crusade Is undertaken too late to
save Dupont circle, which has been devoted to
another pedestrian" statue This is bad
enough OF itself; but, II the statue Is to be at
all in keeping with its recently built base we
have reason to apprehend something worse than
the mere repetition of an unfortunate idea
The public will await with curiosity. if not with
awe, the work of art for which this structure
is deemed suitable beginning: It should Ger
tainly be unique in its simplicity, and the few
small stones forming the base (Which two or
three men put in place in about half dav. with
out the aid OF any machinery except a crow-bar)
are evidently not designed for any ''heroic"
burden. Beyond these obvious conclusions
even conjecture cannot find it's way.
1t has been said of some Of these monuments
that the masonry is their most effective and i'm
posing features but If such criticism can Justly
be passed upon the Dupont memorial when it is
finished. what an imposition the statue itself
will be.
Seriously this structure is unfit to be part
OF any respectable public work, and sbsurdly
unworthy of its conspicuous location. Perhaps
1t is as good as the present appropriation win
allow; but, If SO, the whole matter ought to be
postponed until an adequate sum is available.
Better abandon 1t altogether than 90 on with
work which will be discredit to its subject,
and permanent Disagreement of this beauti-
full public ground. <.
