Senator Blair writes to Col. ]. G. Good
loe of Alabama: Every enc in the
party desires the accession of greater
numbers. Naturally they must come
from the white people since the Colored
are nearly all with US already-and yet
the church is not full. We do not
however intend to turn out those whom
we already have in our communion"
Certainly not, Senator, for by SO doing
you would lose Ohio, Indiana, New
York and Pennsylvania, and the church
would soon become nearly empty.
Moreover, tho Democratic church
yearns for all that you turn out. We
Colored folks know that when you turn
us out, you turn the Democracy in.
Col. Brice would giye'us all the Offices
we wanted if we would turn those states
over to him. But we are not that kind

''The cotton crop of 1883 was 7. 046, 600
bales; S. per cent, of this 1886, 600 bales,
were raised, baled, compressed, wholly
produced and made ready for shipment
by Negro labor, operating as free citi-
zens, and impelled to work by the same
motives that move the white man. The
Negro has been the chief laborer in our
iron mines, about our furnaces, mills,
foundries and in our neutrality-suspicious.
and the enormous improvement in the
quality of his labor conclusively traver-
ses the bald and proofess assertion that
"as ]aborer he Isl fiat and disastrous
failure" The above is from the reply
OF the Chattanooga, (Tenn. Times to
the speech at the Memphis National
Cemetery on Memorial Day. And DR..
A. D. Mayo, of Boston, who has Just
finished a long tour through the entire
South, says: The Negro seems to me to
be marching on with a steady tread, as
irresistible as the flow of the Mississippi
River, whose. occasional overfows,
droughts and eccentricities have little to
do with it's onward progress" If such
speeches provoke such replies, would it
not pay we'll to hire the Memphis idiot
to crate again?

The Huntsville Gazette says: TT is
reported that Colored people of Rich
mond, Va, have organized an independ-
ent party, to whose membership no
white man will be admitted" We do
not believe the statement, because we
think the Colored people of Richmond
have too much sense to do anything of
the kind. Such party would be as
lonesome cas- young salmon on the top
of the great pyramid" and as much out of
place. Neither Colored nor any other
kind Of people can be independent with
out wealth, intelligence and other re-
sources to make them so, and an at
tempt of the kind on the part of Colored
people would result in failure, and, be-
sides provoke similar action upon the
part Of the whites.

IF there was more attention paid to
business and less to politics the country
would be better of, and each community
would further it's best interests if it
would take every white man out and
put a red stripped jacket on him, who
sneakingly slips around and makes
speeches to the Negroes at night, there
by arraying them against the whites.''
The above specimen of moral science
and political economy is from the Grip
shaw" a little sheet published at Wynn,
a little hamlet somewhere in the inter-
ior of Arkansas. It needs no comment
but shows how the unprecedented"
outbreaks in the South are instieated
and inspired.

HE pointed to the lands of the South,
ruined by ignorant slave labor, not for
the mere sake of fault finding, but to
show that "a race which has not vet
learned the arts ola common laborer is
not vet fitted for the prerogatives of q
sovereign" The above is from the
Memphis Avalanche's eulogistic notice
of Maj. Edgington's speech on Decora-
ton Day. The condition of the lands in
the South is not due to the Colored race,
as their management has been in the
hands of white race. Since emancipa-
ton the production Of those lands has
enormously increased and their value
has done the same. In every respect,

If a Colored man steals hog, COM
mits rape or murder, or engages in
riot, he at once takes CONSPICUOUS posi-
ton in the eyes ofthe white community
and is regarded with great interest.
The court house is thronged when he is
tried, and even when he passes along
the street in custody of an officer, there
is great curiosity to know what he has
been doing. Thus the white COM
munity is constantly being brought in
contact with the offcasts and outcasts of
the Colored people, and naturally
enough, forms it's conception of all from
the bad conduct of a few. But the re.
fined and pleasant homes, the thousands
of benevolent and christian enterprises
that are in constant operation among
Colored people, the well-conducted
churches, schools, colleges, societies and
other civilzing and humanizlng instru'
mentaltties attract almost no attention
from the whites, and, consequently, ex.
ert almost no influence upon their idea
of their progress. It is a misfortune to
both races, that the white people are sc
constantly forced to witness and learn Of
the bad conduct of the saloon-loaferf
and criminals of the Colored race and
that they take such pains to keep them.
selves from witnessing the decent and
creditable performances of the intelligent
virtuous and industrious ones. The bug
bear of social equality is the cause of this
unfortunate condition of things, tie
white man fearing that he will forfeit
his social standing if he returns the sa
lutte of decent, respectable Colorec
man, and feeling that he degrades him
self by sitting on the same bench, eating
at the same table or shaving at the same
shop with bis brother in black. Whel
the time arrives when white men will
have as many opportunities to learn Q
the good among the Colored people al
of the bad, this condition of things vii
| change.

Efforts are making looking toward a
grand celebration by the Colored people
of Minnesota on Aug. LIST, in commence
ration of the emancipation of the slaves
in the West Indies. There are two days
in each year which the Colored people
of the United States take pride in cele-
brating; one is the anniversary Of the
day Abraham Lincoln issued his eman-
cipation proclamation, Sept. 22d, and
the other is the above mentioned. Sept.
ED has been celebrated for the past two
years in Minnesota at the Minneapolis
exposition and in all probability will be
celebrated there this year. The LIST OF
August has been celebrated several
years by picnics and celebrations got up
under the auspices of some club or soci-
ETY. and good time has generally been
the result. This year it is the intention
Of the Colored people of the state to
hold the grandest celebration that has
yet occurred in commemoration of that
day. The proper application for the
use of the State Fair Grounds for that
occasion has been made, and in all
probability it will be granted. It then
will only remain for the good citizens
to turn out and enjoy the day and the
good things that will be provided for
them. Several prominent speakers have
been engaged for the occasion and there
will be an amusement programme pre-
sented which could not possibly be CIV
en- anywhere else. We hope to be able
to state more definitely in reference to
the affair next we elk.

The Operetta.

+, Whatever may have been the expec.
tations of the friends of the performers
in the operetta of The Belle of Saratoga
they were fully equalled by the superb
manner in which it was presented on
last Tuesday. The beautiful hall con-
tanned an audience that was nothing like
as large as the merit of the performance
warranted, but it made up in generous
appreciation and applause for. the lack
in numbers. Why the most meritorious
things receive the poorest encourage
ment and patronage among Colored peo-
pie is one Of the mysteries. Those who
were present last Tuesday were fully re-
paid. The principals all sustained their
parts admirably but if special credit is
due to any, that honor belongs to Mrs.
Clay and Mr.. Hilyard. The chorus was
evenly balanced and sang we'll adding
not little to the effectiveness of the
performance. The cast of characters
and programme were as follows: Pauline
Weston, the Belle ofSaratoga, (soprano)
Mrs. w. H. Clay; Clara Rivers her
rival, (contralto) Mrs. B. H. Wilson;
George Ardent, student, (tenor) Mr.. w.
