publican NorJn-a single negro that
has ever been considered good enough
to hold the position of postmaster or
any other position that requires an
ounce of brain work. 1t is we'll enough
to live in the North and talk of negro
domination in the South, but where is
the Northern town, county, city or
State that will swallow the same medi-
cine? The Northern negro is not born
slave, but he is just as effectually
shut out from the advantages Of hu-
manity as though the chains were
forged upon him. He can never be
any thing at the North but niger"
still, and the maudlin sympathy so
freely expressed for the rights of the
negro" down South can be better ex.
tended in the North.
Equally as many ''outrages" are
committed in tine city of Philadelphia
in one week as the whole State of Vir-
ginia in one year, yet no Congressional
committee investigates; and but for the
''rum" dealt out to the ignorant of both
races on election days and other times,
the "outrages" in the South would be
seldom heard of. The salvation of the
negro North and South is for him to do
his own thinking. When they, like the
whites, learn todivide on party lines, they
will be more respected; but just SO long
as they allow ''pot house politicians" to
dictate their political course, so long as
they allow them to keep them in chains,
just so long will the whites keep to-
gether. Northern whites will not be
dominated by the negro, and they can
not force their Southern brother to do
what they will not do.
The 'force bill" will not benefit the
negro, but on the one hand it will re.
tard his progress. 1t is nearly thirty
years since the war began. The major
ity of the old slaves have gone to their
quiet home. A negro who can ever re-
member slavery must be about thirty
five years old. To have worked in a
field under master he must be close to
fifty years old. Time and education
are healing prejudices, and the two
races in the South are drawing closer
together, but this ''fire brand" about to
be cast in their midst by the fanatics at
Washington will open wounds and re-
suit in the downfall of the negro in the
end; for should there be general rev.
olution the whites of the North and
South would both unite against him.
The strong prejudice right here in the
North is alone sufficient proof of nv
claim. Every blow struck at the whites
OF the South means two blows on the
shoulder of the innocent and industri-
GUS negroes, who ask nothing more than
the privilege accorded every American,
whether he be native or adopted; and
if he must fill the menial positions he
should at least be assisted to heal pref
udice instead of increasing it. Thomas
w. Swami, in Philadelphia Record.

Tho Son of Former Slave Discusses the
Welfare Of His Race.
If you will allow colored reader to
express a few words through the col
umns of your paper regarding the much
talked-of NEGRO question" and the
National election bill," l will take ad-
vantage Of your permission.
Being native of Danville, Va, and
SON of a former slave, l have been liv-
ing North but brief period, but from
what | have seen of the two sections
claim the Southern negro has more priv
ileges than his Northern brother of the
same race. Though have used my ut
most endeavor to avail myself of the
equal rights" so boastingly mentioned
by the 'friends of the negro in the
North, / am debarred from the work
shops, from the counting rooms, from
official positions or from any occupation
may seek, except that which requires
me to wear the white apron badge of
cook, or waiter or as hod-carrier. 1
must seek only the positions least re-
numerative, if not the most menial.
When I pass along Lombard street,
Philadelphia, l find that prejudice
against them hascrowded the negroes to-
gether like hogs in pen, and venture
to assert that there is not spot south
Of Mason and Dixon's line where the
negro is in so much misery or faces such
squalid poverty, as the poor denizens of
Lombard street and the other misera-
bio quarters in which he has been COM
PEELED, on account of his color, to reside,
in the good City of Brotherly Love"
1t would be wise to let little of the
sympathy that arises from the love of
the brother in black to begin here at
home.
The South has done. and is still do
ing, more for the negro than many sup
pose. Negroes have been sent from the
South to the Unitod States Senate, to
the lower house Of Congress, to the

minor positions, but have yet to hear

Bla,no's Reciprocity Ideas.

1t makes very little difference
whether Mr.. Blaine has converted the
President to his reciprocity views or
the President has induced Mr.. Blaine
to dilute the same in the interest of
party harmony, the fact remains that
by giving his views utterance Mr..
Blaine has made it impossible for the
Republican party ever to become unit
again in favor of higher protective
duties. He has given vent TO great
volume of smoldering discomfort with
the programme of his party in Congress,
and has prompted the expression by Re-
publican leaders and newspapers of
opinions Of the most revolutionary
character. Throughout New England
and the Northwest there have been de-
liverances of this kind which will be Of
incalculable service in the cause OF
tariff reform, for they will set thou
sands of people to thinking and doubt
ing, with the inevitable result of ulti-
mate injury to the high tariff cause

intellectually They Compire Very Unfa-
vorabIy with American Women.
Till 1900 any lady who could write her
signature was supposed to make no 9TH
er use of her accomplishment except in
the writing of love-letters, not much to
her ultimate benefit. This explains in
a great measure the view taken of wom-
en- in Italy and the position they allow
themselves to occupy. Innocence was
supposed to be only compatible with
ignorance.
There are for middle-olass girls three
kinds of schools; the convent schools,
where nuns teach, chiefly embroider-
ing flowers, and religion-not it's his
tory, but practical devotions
The government schools do not
answer to our high schools, and are
not nearly so good. The terms are low,
from five or six francs a month. These
attempt to teach tho natural sciences,
but they are all badly organized. The
teaching is very poorly paid, and is not
appreciated. There are examinations,
and the schools work up for any thing
they just happen to have set before them
for the time being, so that there is no
firm basis of mental culture. There are
three or four so-called superior schools,
wo OF which are in Rome (Scuola
Femminilia Superiora), and these are
not much better. There is the most
languid interest in higher education,
although there are few notable excep-
tions. There is one lady doctor prac-
ticing in Rome who is doing fairly we'll;
but, as might have been expected, she
has had to encounter many pref
udioes. Queen Margherita is very
anxious to soc the better educa-
tion of girls, and with that the ad-
vancement of women. She has named
this lady doctor to her court, and
she has also been appointed doctor to
the emp loyes on the telegraph service
in Rome. There are two other lady

Grain Ration for steers on Pasture.

''The results from two years trials in

The increased value of the animals from
earlier maturity and better quality may
make the grain feeding profitable.

The United States has given the
Israelite complete liberty and freedom
from all repression, and the result is
that the "Jewish question does not
exist in this country, says the Phila-
delphia Press. Not only is there an
absence of oil legal prescription, but
social prejudice has practically disap-
peared and is certainly inappreciable.
The natural result is that Jewish
families are constantly absorbed into
the population, and no one dreams Of
making an issue against race which
has made more contributions to higher
human welfare than any other. In
this, as in all things else, liberty is the
solution of social difficulties. Germany,
which for centuries has tried repression,
is perpetually vexed with the Jewish
question of the first magnitude. No
one of the race can become an officer,
even as q surgeon, and the higher walks
of social and official life are closed to
them. By natural result they flock
to the universities, the one liberal
career open to them, and win prizes out
of all proportion to their number.
This is unspeakably Objectionable to
the "junker" or land-holding element
who find themselves elbowed in the
army by the upper middle class and
outdone in the university by the Israel
ite; but these ills cannot and will not
be cured by the measure just proposed
in the Prussian House of Lords. Even
Germany will have to learn that when
life is made freest for all it is easiest
for all.
