The Truth AbOat the Negro in Daw
son and Elsewhere.

Every d'y we encounter the

Gus manhood. AS people they
were taken out of the lowest heath.
enish barbarism to receive for cen,
turtles the education cf slavery.
From a childhood OF barbarlsm
and an apprenticeship of slavery,
the negro race OF the south has
just emerged. 1t has the improv-
iderce and helplessness which ab ,
solute dependence on a master de-
velops. 1t is deeply pervaded by
the vices Of untruthfulness and
unchastity. Its ignorance is pros
found. Along with these are other
traits, attractive and of great
promise wonderful gentleness OF
disposition, tropical fervor OF feel
ing and Imagination, aptness to
learn, habits of industry, good hu,
NOR and jollity that rob' Il h nd lot
of half its bitterness. Is there an
encouragement to work for the
elevation of such a people? We
say yes.
There is hope that their race
may play worthy ptrt in the
future of the world. But their
present defects are such as to weigh
heavily, not only against then>
selves, but against the political
community of which they are an in,
tegral part. That they should be
the prey of knavish politicians,
that onlya few of them should be
competent to discharge the duties
of intelligent citizenship arc
inevitable facts. The only
remedy lies in the slow process Of
education. The average southern
white man does not believe the
negro capable OF much elevation,
and his lack of faith is not to be
imputed to him as 4 wAnton injus,
tice or cruelty, 1t springs from
honest and deep rooted opinions.

The men dress Just as our men

In October a fine opera troup
goes to Caracas and remains there
six months playing different operas

dress elegantly for the opera and
always attend in evening dress and

END OF THE MORMON CHURCH
Virtually DeStrO yed by the Gov
eminent.

1t looks v'ry much us If the Nor
mon church has come to and end
1t is doubtful if the ablest of the
Mormons see any future for it. The
government has been at war with
it tor more than ID third of centu,
ry, and, from present appearances,
has virtually destroyed 1t. The
Edmunds law. which takes away
its charter, provides for winding
up its affairs and authorizes the
proceeds of the sale of its property
to be turned into the federal treas>
ury, has been sustained by the feds
eral courts of the territory and by
the United States supreme court.
The Mormons fought this law Wig
orously and bitterly, but unsuccess-
fully. 1t has been pronounced
constitutional and will be enforced.
There are Mormons, of course,
who will cling to the Mormon faith,
but the power which comes from
organization no longer exists. The
young Mormons, both men and
women, will soon break away from
the faith of their fathers and will
disregard their teachings. No
Mormon has a right to vote until
he has taken the antipolygamy
oath. Indeed, he cannot be con
sidered as enjoying the full measure
of citizenship until he has taken
that cath. There are very few
Mormons who will consent to b,
shut out from participation in
public affairs, particularly since
the foundation of their church
has been removed and the whole
structure has fallen to pieces.
Immigrants are pouring into the
territory Gentle immigrants
and ina little while the Gentiles
will be largely in the majority.
Public sentiment will then be over
whelmingly against Mormonism,
and under its influence the Nor
mons will gradually lose their
identity. They will be assimilated
and Mormonism will Lecome IA
memory. The Mormons have
made strong fight for bad cause.
1t is source of satisfaction that
the fight Is virtually over. -Savan,
