JOHANNESBURG, January 2, 1894.
Mr.. Editor.
1t has been very lively here during
the holidays; sleighing has been ex
cellent, and enjoyed by many. There
seems to be as much life here mid
winter, as in the excursion season.
There is no startling enterprise on
foot among tho colored people things
are MOVING m after the old order. Of
things, but there is a quiet glrding
On the armor for the political con-
test. 1t is high time that our race
was getting out of the old road made
for the benefit of others, who bid us
to follow and take whatever is given
US. / like the old motto that said,
81 will either find a way or make
way" While we tamely submit to
all the insults and disadvantages i'm
posed upon US, we shall never be re
spected, nor rewarded for any thing
we may do, however worthy. Manli-
ness brings its own reward. was
glad to see that your noble JOURNAL
start out on the manliness line, not
to be the dupe, the buyer or seller of
any party, but to be honest, frank
and independent as far as our rights
and privileges are concerned. The
youngssmen Of this day must not try
to see through the old glass of former
days, for things have improved. The
young men must think, feel, act and
be for themselves. New wine must
no, be put in old bottles, nor must
old clothes be mendsd with new
cloth. The trouble with many of us,
we try to harmonic worn out policy
with the new order of things. The
young man cannot see and think as
do the old men. it is not for them.
1t is morning to the young men and
evening to the old the standpoint of
one is morning, the other the evening,
thus both should understand and act
wisely. The young men are not to
be bound by the cords OF old lie agues
and parties, we are now in the way
of progress, any party or league stand.
ing in the way of progress should be
pushed aside and room made for
something better. / see all over the
country that this independent spirit
is rising, the young men are coming
to the front, snd there are some young
men in the valley who will be heard
and felt before long. We think your
paper will have good effect upon
the intelligent and Industrious of the
valley.
