tongued sermon on the Day of Penti-
cost. All colors and conditions of men
make up the varied web and wool of its
marvellous life. Each mans condition
IS determined by his rank, his wealth,
kis social position. Social caste indeed
exists of the most rigid type, but it is
never based on'color, hardly ever upon
racial distinctions. It may be, as the
author of the System of Shakspeare's
Dramas afirms, that the marriage of a
Lord and a servant girl "collides with
the moral consciousness Of the whole
pubiic,," but mans treatment is con-
ditlned upon his wealth, his intelligence,
his knowledge, his rank, or his personal
character, never upon the color of his
skin. In the light Of this fact our color
caste seems as provincial as it is undeni-
ably absurd, cruel and indefensible."

asks, "Can I get shave, sir?" The
Colored barber replies, mo. We don't
keep black SOAP" The companion pic
ture represents white tramp entering
looking like a scare crow. The same
Colored barber, with most engaging
grin and obsequious bow. invites him to
his chair, Fright this way, bossr' The
Freeman adds the moral. "The Colored
people can not hope to obliterate color
prejudice so long as they discriminate
against themselves" Some of the lead
ing lights in Colored society circles who
run just such shops in several cities
ought to see that cartoon perhaps they
would get ashamed of themselves and
no longer help to keep up the dsmnable
prejudice which seems to grow stronger
and stronger every day.

of the Colored man. Even when the
bleaching process has been so thorough
that no external indication of African
blood remains; even when the individ-
ual has assumed all the characteristics
of Caucasian beauty and intelligence, we
still treat him as social pariah. Several
years ago there was, at a certain school
in Pittsburg, very beautiful and intelli-
gent young lady. In scholarship and
department she stood for year at the
head of the school. At the end of that
time somebody told the principal that
his favorite pupil had lurking in her
veins few unsupported and undiscov-
cradle drops of African blood. She was
turned ont of the doors as ANONYMOUSLY
as if she had been guilty of unchastity
or was afflicted with some infectious
disease.
Tell the average American that he Is
descended from Pocahontas, that his
blood may be traced to Confucius, or
that his daughter has secretly married
one of Nine. Blavatsky's mythical In
dian Mahatmas, and the chances are
that he will be hattered and grati6ed.
You stumble over no ''ethical principles"
you encounter no fatal racial prejudice.
Tell him that his neutrality-suspicious.
was probably powerful potentate from
the Congo or the Niger, and you touch
the acme of insult. 1t would be safer to
accuse him Of highway robbery.
But the most astonishing feature of
this color caste is found in the compla-
cent assumption Of the average Ame,i-
can that it is something inherent and
natural in the human mind, and is
therefore universal. Tell such person
that it is the result of social and plitical
education, and he will smile at your ig.
norance. Yet when such an American
steps over the borders of his own coun-
try he does no find this prejudice shared
by any other nation. The Frenchman,
Englishman or German may not want
bis daughter to marry Colored man,
but in no part Of Europe do you detect
the presence of that CALLING system of
social discrimination which SO exasper-
ates the black man in this country. All
over the continent of Europe you find
the Colored man living in the best ho--
tells, TRAVELLING in first-class coaches, ard
sitting as an equal OH the benches of the
great scientific and art schools. You
find no trace of this prejudice in the
press or literature of Europe; you find
no faint of it in its social life. London
IS the great meeting-place of all the var
led races Of the world. A new Peter

DEMOCRATS ON THE RACE QUESTION.
A discussion OF much interest to our
people is engaging the attention of the
New York World and an Alabama paper.
The latter in its last issue among other
things stated:
The World talks of Negro education
as a solution. That is absurd. The
more education the Negro acquires the
sharper the race conflict becomes. It is
as a laborer only that he is useful to the
white man, and when the interdepend-
ence of employer and employed, which
forms bond Of unity'-between the
whites and blacks, is destroyed their
further inhabitation of the same country
on equal terms will be impossible"
The World in reply answers it as fol-
lows:
THE first step towards the solution of
the Negro question must be due recog-
milton of the Negroes equal right to con-
sideration in the matter. The question
is not what is best for the white man
alone, but what is right and best for the
common veal. When the question is
app. coached from that point Of view
education will make the Negro an in
telligent and willing coworker with the
white man towards the desired discov-
cry of modus vivendi.
This when taken into consideration
that the World is the leading Demo-
cratic paper of the nation. Comes with
aforce and creates an effect beyond that
of the rant usually displayed by the
Republican party organs.
In this discussion the World advocates
pure Democracy as laid down by Jeffer
son in the declaration of American In
dependence. The Republication party
had better get into line and give the
Colored voters of this country, their fair
and equitable share in the party, for
should the Democratic press generally
follow in the footsteps of the World it
will not be long before the Colored
voters of the Northern States will give
the Democratic party a trial by voting
that ticket in the next Presidential cam
paign and taking the risk of what that
party will do for them in return. This
when we consider the outrageous treat
ment we have received from the present
National Administration, will not require
much of sacrifice.
AS the World truly says: Education
will make the Negro an intelligent and
willing co-worker with the white man."
AS the Colored man becomes better
educated he is gradually drifting into
the same line of thought as white men
who are engaged in like duties and en-
terprises. On questions of public policy
there will be the same diversity of opin-
ion, for he is getting tired of paying tri-
butte in the shape Of gratitude for what
the Republican party has done. He
wants something now and hereafter,
the debt of gratitude was paid when
Gen. Grant was first elected and we
owe them nothing.

1t is very evident that the Southern
hell-hounds intend to try to grind down
the Colored people into a state worse
than slavery. When man is not al
lowed to protect himself or resent an
insult, he had better be a slave, for then
his master has pecuniary interest in
him which will make him protect him.
Last week q Colored train hand on a
Southern road had some words with a
white man and as the train pulled out
the Colored man threw stone which
struck bystander. The next morning
when the train returned posse of the
"superior race" took the Colored man
from the train and lynched him. How
long will a just God allow these things
to be? When will the characteristic
patience of the Colored people give way?
