The trne solution Of the negro qnes-
ton is, to know no such question. 0ur
laws, except in few cases where the
good of both races manifestly require
II, recognize no distinction Of color, and
the black man can get justice as readily
as the white man. The prejudiees
which exist must be regarded, and any
legislation which seeks to obliterate
them Is sure to bring about irritation
and conflict. In the absence Of politi-
cal and legislative agitation of the negro
question, the black race viii very rapid
ly adapt themselves TO their surround
ipgs and become good citizens Eduea-
ton is having its influence, generally
for good, sometimes for evil. That
teaching which takes few individuals
Of the race and gives them such a fund
Of knowledge as elevates them very
far above their people, totally units
them for contact with them, and is
useless as to any results beyond the In
dividual. Let those in the North and
elsewhere who seem so much agitated
over the social aspect of the negro ques-
ton, cease attempting to regulate
the attitude of the Southern whites
TO the blacks, and show the SINGER
ity of their professions of friendship
BY doing something themselves in the
direction of alternating their condition
something actual, direct, substantial
and sensible. If the negroes will take |
the trouble to observe, they will notice
that the men who have anhesitatingIy
taken money ont of their pockets and
spent 1t in establishing schools for the
colored youth, or otherwise for the ma.
terial benefit Of the race, are not those
Who are read of as making political
speeches in their behalf, or in raising
great outcry against the iniquity of the
United States Supre me Court because of
its recent decision on the constitutions
atty of the Civil Rights Act. These
latter men wish to be heard-they wish
to make capital for themselves.
Let the colored race and the white
philanthropist take this fact into account
in all they do or propose to do-the
Southern white man knows that his well |
fare and that of the negro are wrapped |
up together and he cannot afford to do !
anything to the injury of the black race,
even if he wished.
The man who gives his money is gen.
orally sincere. To him we would only
'ay, see that it is expended discreetly;
let the schools you establish be practi-
al; fit the students for earnest work
among their fellows; and, above all,
each them that Their freedom means
hey must work, if they would prosper

as there was minor interested in the

State Education

EDIroRs CLARION: The subject oil
education is before our people in q
stronger light than at any time previous,
The demand for a higher education OF
our daughters, given by State aid, is
rapidly increasing. The State has. her
University and A. & NJ College for the
boys. The University has opened her
doors to the girls. Some viii accept this
gratuity, and others will not. Objec-
tions to the co-education of the sexes
will be the grounds of this rejection.
The girls need and deserve more help
than the State is giving them. Should
the State give this aid to them? The
answer is Justly in the affirmative. But
in its treatment, much wisdom should
be exercised, that the desired eni may
be accomplished. The object in view Is
the education of greater number of
our worthy girls who are unable to pay
their expenses at College.
1t is true that greater number of |
Mississippi girls are receiving a collie |
giate education within the State than /
boys. How this? Because of so many
church and private female colleges in the
State, and so few such male colleges.
These colleges reach so many girls who
could never attend college when board
would have to be paid. Private citi-
zens cannot afford to invest their money
in such property, and devote their Ia
bors in that way that will come in COM
petition with State Institutions, in the
much lauded free tuition. Hence the 4
yreat majority of such investments have 4
oeen made in establishing female schools. |
Ind with this greater number Of female 8
olleges, planted in so many different q
the greater number of a
iris who are unable to pay board, o
hough tuition be free, are accommodated v
to their homes. Also, more c
iris are encouraged to attend school Z
rom home, and thus their number are q
realty multiplied. To establish a CEN o.
al female college, will cut down the Il
lumber who can't pay board, to be g
.ached to only those of one community. @
nd the. establishment of such State II
ollege will go far to drive out the pri- +
