A NEGRO That 10 Proud of HIS Race

We have had occasion to say more than
once that the negroes as body have no
respect for their own race. They would
much rather ride in street car or a steam
car almost full Of whites than on car of
any sort having many negroes upon it.
They constantly seek to force their COM
pany upon the whites. They are not sat
isfed anywhere 10 have their children at
tend negro schools. but would greatly pre-
fer their attendance upon white schools,
rs was illustrated in several towns in
Ohio year or two ago. In word, the
negro is parasite, and needs to lean upon
white man as his master, or at least as
support in time Of trouble or infusion, or
calamity.
Bishop Turner. Of Georgia, is not ono
of these parasites il we may trust his own
words. In a letter recently written by him
70 the Washington Post he talks as if he
really believed the negro 10 be as good as
the white man. II is not easy for a eau
casion TO believe that negro considers
himself Is good as white man; yet we
must acknowledge that such thing is not
impossible. OF course no negro who is
insolent TO the whites, or forces his COM
pany upon them, really regards himself as
the equal Of white man. If any negro
holds that opinion. it is negroes such as
Bishop TURNER.
At any rate, what a negro really who
believes IN his own race has TO say is worth
reading. SO We quote few passages from
Bishop TuESKn's letter He is speaking of
Mr.. BcrIGR's bill to send negroes TO
Africa.

A Coop TEsT.-The SAxTON ballot-reform
bill, which has been passed by both houses
of the Legislature of New York, provides
for sort of Australian ballot. We do not
know wherein it differs from the latter;
and we do not know what reasons Gov
ernor HILL has for being opposed to it.
But it does seem to us that he makes q
proposition which ought to be acceptable
to the Republicans when he recommends
that both houses adopt concurrent reso-
luton asking the Court of Appeals to give
an opinion as to the constitutionality of
the SAxToN ballot-reform bill. The Sun
reduces the question to this short space:
"Now, the bill is either constitutional or
il is not. If il is constitutional, it is de
sirable that the Governor and all the rest
of the citizens opposed to it be convinced
of its constitutionality; and the Court of
Appeals IS the only authority to decide all
doubts in the matter.
III the bill is unconstitutional, it is an
uniustifable interference with the right of
suffrage, and the Legislature ought to be
glad of the opportunity to know that the
bill is impossible"

The facts show that if the amount Of sill
yer annually produced in the world shall
not be largely increased, the full remone-
tization of that metal-that is, making its
coinage free-would be q safe measure.
But would not production be unnaturally
stimulated? Would this country be able
to keep at par with gold the quantity Of
silver which might be produced?
There is another question connected
with the free coinage of silver-namely,
whether it would not be right in itself to
open the minis for the free coinage of sill
yer because hundred silver dollars are
now worth as much in cotton or wheat or
tobacco as they were when silver was
demonetized? There is much to be said
on both sides Of this question. The farm
ers of Kansas are aroused on this subject,
as the following telegram shows:
ToPRKA, KAN, March 27.-The following
is the outline of some of the resolutions
adopted by the Farmers Alliance Confer
ence now IL session here: Demanding le-
gislative enactment apportioning the
shrinkage of farm values that are under
mortgage obligations by reason of the con-
traction of the circulating medium, or
other unjust legislation between the mort
eager and mortgage, in proportion TO
their respective interest at the time the
mortgage was drawn.
