Seventy or 80 years oil for God and for max

Magnificent! He will have hard work getting
into heaven, because those whom he helped

Out yonder is a man very old at 40 years
OF age, at the time when he ought to be bouy-
ant as the morning. He got bad habits on
him very early, and those habits have be-
come worse. He ie a man on fire, on fire
with alcoholism, on fire with all evil habits,
out with the world and the world out with
him Down and falling deeper. His swol-
len hands in his threadbare pockets and his
eyes fixed on the ground, he passes through
the street, and the quick step Of an innocent
child or the strong step of young man or
the roll of a prosperous carriage maddens
him. and he curses society and he curses
God. Fallen sick, with no resources, he is
carried to the almshouse. A loathsome spec
ton, or in the night rises on his cot and
fights appar1tions Of what he might have
been and what he will be. He started life
with as good o prospect as any man on the
American continent, but there he is a bloated
carsass waiting for the shovels of public
charity to put him five feet under. He has
only reaped what he sowed. Harvests OF

The American Association of Educators
of Colored Youth, which was organized
in this city in March last, will meet in
Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 30-3l, 1890. The
gathering will be one of great interest,
bringing together the leading educators
of colored youth from every section of
the country upon southern territory.
The following is said to be literal
copy of the rules posted on a school
house door up in the Big Bend country:
"Each pupil is required to make a bow
on entering the School House of morn
ing, also on ]eaveing of the School Room
ofevening. There shall be no profain
language used in School nor on the play

don was the most conspicuous statesman
in the South who refused to lay away
the Democratic flag In the loft of the
fantastic Sub Treasury planned by the
wild men of the Farmers Alliance. Gen.
Gorden bearded the farmer in bis de-
lirium and denounced the Sub-Treasury
phantom like patriot and Democrat"
We commend the above to the Alliance
men who sweated SO profusely to aid in
making the Democratic cyclone of Nov.
18th. It shows an appreciation of their
efforts, that will, without doubt, be
highly gratifying to them. Also, we
may remark that it points to the future
in very significant manner. The ALI.
auce is not the dog, but the tail, and the
tail is not going to wag the dog.

In the Georgia election for Senator,
the Alliance men deserted Calhoun,
their own candidate, and went over to
Gordon with a rush. The instinct to
support the straight Democratic ticket
was too strong for the more sentimental
inducements of the sub-treasury scheme
and the Democratic wolves threw of
their Alliance sleeps clothing without
any ceremony. We venture the pre-
diction that the same thing will occur in
North Carolina. Senator Vance denoun
ces the alliance Sub Treasury fad as un-
constitutional, but he will get there all
the same. Democrats, especially South
ern Democrats, without any hesitation,
drop anything that imperils the success
of their party. s-.. -....... ....~

For the last year or two there have
been great manifestations of the exist
ence of conviction on the part of white
Republicans that the Negro was an ele-
plant upon their hands which they
could neither dispose of nor keep to ad-
vantage and the wise men of the party
have been taxing their brains to device
some plan for Kidding the party of the
incubus. In the Sonth, an effort was
made to form white mans Republic
can party" but the effort died in the
borning and the result was nil. Then.
it occurred to the Globe Democrat and
other sagacicus journals that it would be
a fine thing for the Negro to divide his
vote. This idea was carried out and the
Colored men did divide the votes in
several states. Then it occurred to some
of the statesmen that if great hula
baloo over yhe tariff could be raised that
IN the midst of the clamor and confusion
the Colored man would remain conceal
ed in the wood pile and amount to moth
ing, North or South. The late campaign
was conducted in acceptance with this
line of policy. The result was the most
disastrous defeat the party ever exper-
fenced. The defeat came from the
hands of its own party. InNew York
city alone, 10000 anti Tammany voters
failed to vote.

One result of the recent election is that
the Solid South can no longer dictate the
policy of the Democratic party. 1t has
been reduced to the condition of an in
consequential and unimportant element.
The speakership, so long special per-
quisite of the S. S., will probably, like

ENTERED At P0STOFFlCE AS SECOND CLASS NATTER
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 6, 1890.

The efforts made by few persons to
have "Colored Folks" or Jim Grow
Department at the Worlds FAIR is nom
sense, but by no means first class nom
sense. We hope that the effert will fail
and that the Colored men will enter the
Worlds Fair on the broad basis of
American citizenship, Or not at all. We
also think that this is the best policy for
many substantial reasons, some of which
we now mention. The persons who
are working up this separate depart
ment scheme rep, esent only themselves,
or at best very inconsiderable fraction
of the Colored race. They cannot give
any assurance that they have any back
l1g among the race; the evidence thus
lar adduced is on the opposite side. 1t
is we'll known fact that large majority
of intelligent Colored people bitterly re-
sent any attempt to separate depart
ment' then in churches, schools, hotels
or cars, as is proved by the constant ap-
peals to the law where such attempts
have been made. The department plan
was tried in New Orleans, it was la
mentable and ridiculous failure. In.
Chicago it would be worse simply be-
cause Colored peopla will not, in Chica-
60, submit to what they will in New
Orleans. Since it is an incontrovertible
fact that intelligent Colored men have
always, to the full extent of their means
and ability, resented any attempt to
Jim Crow" them, we see no reason for
hoping or expecting that they have
been converted in such way as to rem
der it probable that they will, at the
Worlds Fair, enjoy the operation, A
few may creep In hoping to secure a
little Doodle for themselves, or some
recognition as LEADERS" but the respec-
table part of the Colored men will give
the separate department. the benefit of
their room and be conspicuous for their
absence. ..... ..2. - ..

The financial scheme of the Farmers
Alliance is simply the noted "Forty
acres and a mule" of reconstruction DAYS
revived and adapted to a new party of
expectants. The Alliance men NAV
learn from the experience of the Col.
ored voters of the South just exactly
what their chance IS of getting their
forty acres and a mule. It is SUCCESS
tive fact that Farmers Alliance and
Forty Acres have the same initials.
