ed to call race pride find it in all
our books, papers, and speeches. For
my part see no superiority or infer
iority IN race or color. Neither the
one nor the other is proper source
Of pride or complac ancy. Our race
and color are not of our own choos-
ing. We have no volition in the
case one way or another. The only
excuse for pride in individuals cor
races is in the fact of their own acb
ievements. Our color is the gift of
the Almighty. We should neither
be proud of it nor ashamed oft But
we may we'll enough be proud or
ashamed when we have ourselves
achieved success or have failed of
success. If the sun has curle1 our
hair and tanned our skin let the sun
be proud Of its achievement, for we
have done nothing for it one way or
the other. | see no benefit to be de-
rived from this everlasting exhorta-
ton by speal ers and writer's among
us to the cultivation of race pride.
On the contrary, l see in it a posi-
tive evil. 1t is building on a false
foundation. Besides, what is the
thing we are fighting for in this coun-
try? What is the mountain devil,
the lion in he way of our progress?
What is it, but American race pride
an assumption of superiority upon
the ground of race and color? Do
we not know that every argument
we make, and every pretension we
set up in favor of race pride is giving
the enemy stick to break our own
heads?
But it may be said that we shall
put down race pride in the white
people by cultivating race pride
among ourselves, The answer to
this is that devils are not cast out by
Bellzebub, the prince of devils. The
poorest and meanest white man when
he has nothing else to commend him,
says: II am white man, | am
We can all see the low extremity
reached by that sort Of race pride,
and yet we encourage it when we
pride ourselves upon the fact Of our
color. Let Us away with this super
ci.ious nonsense. If we are proud let
it be because we have had some
agency in producing that Of which to
be proud. De not let us be proud Of
what we can neither help nor hinder
The Bible puts us in the condition
in this respect Of the leopard, and
says that we can no more change our
skin than the leopard his sp is. Ii we
are unfortunate in being place 4
among a people with whom our color
is badge of inferiority, there is no
need Of our making ourselves ridicu
lous by forever, in words, affecting to
be proud of circumstance due to no
virtue in us, and ovel which we have
no control.
You will, PERHAPS, think this crit
icism uncalled for. MY answer is
that truth is never uncalled for
Right thinking is essential to right
acting, and hope that we shall here
after see the wisdom of basing our
pride and complacency u on substan-
tial results accomplished by the

of bright and lbesutlfull babes. He was
particularly interested in the pretty little
daughter Of his partner and closest friend,
Oscar Folsom, and it is said that portrait
Of the lovely child at years old arrsyed
in white dress with big blue sash held
the place of honor in his collection. When
Oscar Folsom died he made Cleveland
co-trustee with Mrs. Folsom of their only
child, and true to his trust Cleveland
watched over the rearing and education
of the girl with tenderest solicitude. As
the child grew to womanhood the bonds
OF affection drew the girl and her guardian
closer and finally strengthened into the
bonds of love. An old schOolmato of Mrs.
Cleveland tells the tale of Cleveland's pro-
posal. When little Francis was years
old she was sitting on "UDcle Growers"
lap one dsy entertaining him with child
ish prattle of what she should do when che
grew up into "a big lady" 1t WAS about
the time of Nelly Grants marriage in
topic for family talk. ''I'm going to have
nice white satin dress and get married
in the White House, too" she lispsd
'But I thought you were going to marry
me and l should wait for you," laughing
~ returned Mr.. Cleveland. "Of course
il will be you, for You will grow Up to be
president then," said the child knowingly.
When Cleveland YVES elected Mrs. Folsom
and her daughter were preparing to 20 to
Europe, and on calling 20 say gnodby Mr..
Cleveland claimed from Miss Folsom the
fulilment On her return of the premise
made when child. He had perfarmed
his part of the bargain, and she had only
10 fulfil hers and become a White House
bride.
President Harrison met the lady who il
now big wife while he was student al
Miami University. His experience was
the rare one of q college student actusliy
marrying the girl to whom he had pledg.
ed his first and only love.
There was flovor of fstalism in the frs
meeting of Abraham Lincoln and Mar
Todd. As child the future Mrs. Lin
coin often prophesied that she would be
come the wife cf a president of the United
States. She was herself the daughter 0
