SNUBS AND SNUBBlNG.
IF You Get Angry and Complain. You Ad-
NIT Your Enemy's Superiority.


nit Your Enemy's Superiority.
One of the most senseleSs of social mistakes
that people of positions not wholly assured
can possibly make is to confess to being
snubbed. In the heat of Indignation against
the person who has been guilty of snubbing
them people are very apt to dc the very thing
which would be most pleasing to the one upon
whom they wish to be avenged. To confess
to being snubbed is to acknowledge the power
of given person to confer a rebuff. This in
itself is a confession of social inferiority which
the one making it would sooner die than make
directly, and it is the more foolish because
the chances are that it is false
Manifestly there is no possible position
which is at all dignifed except that of deny
ing the possibility of being snubbee by any
body. Of course, one cannot always protect
himself from rudeness; that comes to all the
dwellers in this not wholly satisfactory world.
TO be snubbed, however, is impossible to one
who keeps the position to which he is entitled
He is foolish to accuse himself of having been
pushing his way where he had no right by
asserting that he has been rebuked by any
body. If he is capable of taking the high
ground that he belongs wherever 1t may
please him to go, Of course he at one stroke
Goes away with the possibility Of being re-
buffed by anybody whomsoever.
The confession of snub is generally accom-
panied by the more or less emphatic assertion
that the person bestowing it has no claim to
sit in social judgment upon the individual af-
tronted, and in their anger the complainers
cannot see that they are, by their protesta-
tlons, asserting the very thing that they so
bitterly deny. To be logical and angry at the
same time, however, is not given to more than
one man in ten thousand. When smartlng
under the consciousness that social enemy
mas intended an injury few indeed are the
men who can be cool enough to realize what
they are doing They should impress 1t upon
thelr minds In times of spiritual refreshing
and placidity that the practical effect or
every protest against personal snuo Is 10
mJure themselves. So constituted IS hu-
NAV nature, moreover, that they are likely
also to increase rather than 10 diminish the
prestige of their enemy. To know that q
person Is by position able to administer social
shght, and that by disposition he or sne Is
capable OF exercising that power is with nine
people out of ten to be moved to new re-
spect for SO exalted a parsonage
All or this is 80 obvious that It almost
seems abSurdly superAuous to take the troo-
BILE to say it at all; but no one can deny tne
frequency of the sort of error Of when we
are speaking. Every day somebody Is heard
complaining of a snub at the hands Oh some
enemy, and in the interests of common sense
1T seems worth while to remind sucn grum-
blers OF what is the cost of venting tner
Indignation against such rebuffS = oos'on

BLACK MEN AS PosTMAsTERs.

Washington, Iowa, Press j:
Southern senators are disgruntled
because Clarkson will appoint
colored fourth class P. Ms in
Dixie. They say: "Ladies will
not take mail from the hands of
black men," They won't, eh? re-
torts Ret. Don't you let white
babies suckle black nurses? Yes.
Does not black man or woman
cook your food, and serve it?
Yes. Doesn't a black man shave
your boards, comb your hair, black
your boots ? Yes. Well, then,
what's the matter with a black
man handing you your letters :?
"Senator Ransom, of North Caro-
lima, at the Office in question,
colored man will be appointed be-
fore night" Goes off with bee
as big as a bat in his ear. Why
not? The black man knew
enough to be true blue loyal from
1861 to 1865. There are no flies
on the black man.
