BISHOP GRANT.

A correspondent of the Detroit
Plaindealer, who signs his name "Plu-
tarch" is waging war against the bish-
ops of the lineage of Ham. Plutarch
is certainly on the trail of Bishop
Grant. The correspondent has this to
say in regard to that distinguished
preacher:
Bishop Grant is a great worker for
his church and an earnest man, but he
has not yet seen much of the world
nor learned much about the present
status of systemized thought, he would
act wiser if he sat down and by argu-
ment tried to rebut or expose the error
of articles that don't suit Linn. He
can sing and preach loud sermons that
make old people with red handker-
chiefs on their heads jump like pop
ping corn, but he has never. yet shown
special fitness to act as "Boss" over
the NEGRO" journals or such progress
sive minds as those like the one which
throbs in Billy Smiths bald head.
Plutarch's pen glides along smooth
ly, impartially and logically, hence we
see no reason why the clergy or the
laity of the church should take ex.
ception to the correspondents views.

BISHOP Turner sPECUI.ATEs

The bishop still thinks that Africs
is the promised land for the colored
people. He wants congress to appro.
pirate $50O,OOO,OOO and head q line OF
steamers for the dark continent laden
with millions of Negroes. To do such
thing he says would forever settle
the race question. He further SAYS
the Negro ought to have government
and nationality. And we are inform.
ed that the bishop is now feeling the
pulse of the national lawmaker as TO
the feasibility of such q scheme.
This is only parallel to other i'm
practical schemes of the bishop. The
bishop will find it necessary before he
attempts to reduce his gigantic scheme
to plan, to have congress to define
the race line, that is to tell who is a
Negro and who is not. II is assem-
tial to do this before even asking con-
gress for an appropriation, that they
may know just how much to appro-
pirate. 1t must be remembered that
one drop of Negro blood in the An
glo Saxon's vein is chased by his kind
like cat chases rat in a corn crib.
We are now at the point where the
bishops scheme, if set in motion, will
hang fire. We agree with the rever-
end gentleman in what he saws in re-
gard to the Negro having govern
ment and nationality. But the bish-
ops ideal government and nationally
will not be established by the Ameri-
can Negro going to Africa en- masse.

ries and educating those poor peoples

turing concerns throughout the south

PREJUDICE.

1t is painful to the eyes to read many
paper now days, whether it is oper.
ated by Negro or Anglo Saxon, for in
every other column looms up prejudice
black prejudice, white prejudice
prejudice against the Negro at the
south; prejudice against the Negro at
the north. The truth is there is not
one-half as much prejudice between
the races as there is going the rounds
of the press daily. There is consider
able more talked prejudice than there
is real prejudice. If we talk less about
prejudice there will be less of it.
Some argue that there is not as
friendly feeling between the two
races today as there was twenty five
years ago. Philosophically this is IN
true. Ignorance and poverty are mis-
trustful and superstitious. Prejudice
is the outgrowth of ignorance and
poverty. Now then is the Negro as a
race as ignorant and as poor today as
he was twenty five years ago? Every
reading man and woman knows he is
not. Hence race prejudice has dimin-
ished just in the same proportion to
the progress that has been made by
the Negro in the requirement of edu-
cation and property.
The "Jim Grow Cars" have nigh
frightened some poor fellows into
spasms. We regard the "Jim Crow
Car" law as one of the dying swans
last futters. Another advises this
way. If you would break down race
prejudice get education and property.
Then, again, in sweeping statement
he spoke of the awful strides that the
Negro has made in the acquisition Of
wealth and education. After which
he concludes by saying there is less
congeneality between the races and
that racial prejudice is stronger now
than it was quarter of century ago.
Such sophistry on that topic seems to
rule the hour.

WILLIE CROCKETT.

E. Crocket's son, Willie, who has
just entered his tenth year, works reg
ularly with his father at the forge /:
fans the fire with the bellows and
shoes horses and mules with remark
able skill. If we understand ourselves
this is what the educator calls indus
trial education. is what ought to re-
ceive considerably more attention at
the hands of parents and educators
than it does. To educate your child's
mind and not his hands is simply
making a dwarf of that child. You
cripple the little fellow and in many
cases you start him out on the felon's
road. When you educate the child's
mind and not his hands he makes up
his mind that the battle for bread is to
be won at all times and on all occa-
sions with his wits. Therefore if he
fails to get it honestly with his wits
he will try to get it dishonesty with
them. OF course we admit that there
are some finty exceptions. Educate

From The Appeal

Montrose Wesleyan Rankin, for the
last ten years an employe of Bodeman
& Conrad, druggists, has the honor OF
being the first colored man admitted
to the practice of pharmacy. Several
years ago, upon seeking admission to
q Chicago college of pharmacy, he was
told that while his color would not bar
his entrance il would be advisable for
him to give up the idea on general
principles. He did conclude not to
enter college, but he studied hard in
the store, and when on Saturday he
applied for decree he demonstrated
his qualifications under the experience
clause and received it. The Appeal
wishes him success.
