Of tho earth, therc heiag no other race that can

L!lfiy Is that "a thousand yeas hence tho Whoie

whites. The negroes, tho Indians, the Mongolia

Tpais have disappeared before or under INC al

To return 20 our subject: Mr.. HARRISON, Tho
PresiderG il reported 70 have said, IN speaking
Of tho Atlanta post Office. that he would not Ike
70 soc q negro postmaster in Indian apolis.
Every member Of his Capiuet shares with the
President that feeling whose eXistence is indi-
Gated by TIA, remark. Mr.. BLAINE would not
Ike IN see n negro postmaster al Portland. MI.
WINDOW would not liEe 10 see negro postmaster
at ST. Pant OF Minneapolis Mr.. PROCTOR Wouid
NOT ike 70 SEQ a negro postmaster a. Burlington.
Mir. TRACY would not lise to soc negro post
master at New York Mr.. NOBLE would not Ike
~ see n negro postmaster at 81. Louis MT. MIL
Ise would not ike 10 see a negro postmaster at
JnGianapoli8. In fact no white man worthy OF
the name would liks 20 see negro postmaster
in his own city. town. village, or hamlet
The prejudice We speak OF would no' lead or
allow those who entsrtain Il 70 harm tho negro
IN any way. Tho negroes will trast a southern
white man sooner than they win trust north
srn mRn--that Is, when no political question II In
volved. On eiection-day the negro will vote for
a northern man and against bis old master. OF
his son. or bis grnndson. The next day II he
wants an net OF charity, or benencence, or a.
commcdnton done, or wishes % borrow a dollar
or horsc or q mule, no will go straight 10 his
CID master. or his sOn, or his grandson. In a
word, as was sHi1 in paragraph We quoted yes
terday. the negroes are the wards Of tho south
orn white men. So our northern friends need not
suppose that when southern men Gcclaim against
negro rule they entertain any othor feeling to-
wards tho negro than that be il unit TO rule or
sven % vote
