A U0LORED BISHOPS OPINION.
He Thinks This Nation Owes His
Race About Forty Billion Dollars.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 17.-H. NJ. Turner,
LID, DID,, of Atlanta, Ga, bishop of the
A. NJ. E. church, arrived here to-day and
was asked what he thought of the bill be-
fore Congress which proposes to give nation-
al aid to such colored people as might desire
to return to Africa or elsewhere, and replied
by saying: "God grant that the bill may
pass"
The white people brought us here against
our will. Now they ought to provide for us
to leave If we desire. Besides we must work
out our destiny anyhow, and if portion of
us think we can do it better elsewhere let the
nation help us. If the bill meant compul-
sorry expatriation I would fight it to the
death, but If 1t is voluntary upon the part of
the negro let 1t pass as soon as
possible. The negro at best is but acullion
here, and he can be no less in Africa.
I am tired of negro problems, lynch laws,
mob rule and continual fuss, and million
of other negroes are tired Of it. We want
peace at some period in our existence, and if
we cannot have it here where we were born
and reared let that portion of us who choose
to try another section of the world have q
little help. This nation owes the negro forty
billions of dollars anyway, 80 give us little
to emigrate upon"
