A COMMON FALLACY.

An extreme republi can sheet, in re-
ferring editorially to the recent race
troubles at Alton, Illinois, while ad-
uniting that there is prejudice against
the negro in the north, asserts that
that the prejudice there does not OPP
crate to the injury of the negro. Ii
asserts that negroes are allowed to
peacefully follow their own inclina'
functions OF citlzensnir, ..a;n eoual
educatiOns with whites ana
serenity in the North and that they
are not permitted always to do those
things in the South. 1t asserts that
negroes are shot, lynched, ostracised
and intimidated in the south, while
they are not in the North.
These assertions must be taken with
many grains of allowance. But the
fatal faIlacy in the argument follow
ing them is failure to recognize the
difference of condition in the negro,
North, and the negro,
South. In the North, negroes are
few and weak aud they keep in their
places, which is the whole secret of
their quiltude and welfare, North or
South.
In the South, where the negro is
numerous, he becomes assertive, az
gressive, impudent ; he becomes de-
sirous of ruling his late masters.
Ignorant, clannish and unqualified for
citizenship, he aspires to rise to the
top of society at once and he and his
brethren, under the leadership of
scheming negroes and worse white
men, league together TO accomplish |
their purposes, right or wrong.
In communities where negroes
equal the whites, the condnct
of negroes is very different from the
conduct of negroes in communities
where they form from oue-twentieth
to one-hundredth of the population,
and different measures must be used
to rule them. And In South Carolina.
where, in some sections, there are ten
blacks to one white, he would be a
short-sighted man, or, at least, a man
very ignorant of the disposition of the
negro, who would say that the same
treatment could be applied 10
'egroes as in Illinois. Laws must
vary with exigencies and, in some ;
'hings. every community must be a
aw unto itself. The people of Iii. !
lois md of Missouri know the negro
nd know how to rule him amicably
ne exists in their respective com.
,unities but they know nothing of
ne South Carolina or Louisiana negro
nd less of the means which must be z
nplcyed to keep him in his q
lace. The great faltacy with
reju dgers is that they judge others "
7 themselves and their own sur LII
