The editor of the Central Methodist
IN. E. Church South) wrote to Bishop
Hurst to know whether or not, Negroes
would be admitted" into the great
"American University" The bishep re-
plies: ''The students to be received,
wne4 once we are ready, will be de-
termined in a way satisfactory to the
whole Christian constituency, ain very
sure. So far we have not considered
the question you ask. There are three
representatives. of the Nj thodist Episco
pal Church South on our Board-Blehop
Wilson and two ]aymen. l am very
sure they are excellent representatives
and will advise wisely" Now DR.. Albert
regards this as an evasive, and probable
foresees the fact that some Philistine
will be citing the incident to prove that
"the church is the bulwark" of color
prejudice, as well as of the rum traffic.
We hope that Bishop Hurst will call lis
Board together at once and render a
categorical answer, like John Wesley
gave when he defined slavery as 1.-THE
sum of all villainies.'

must they have thought of the fact, that
men whom they had deemed worthy to
preside over the deliberations of one of
the most august religious bodies that
ever assembled together, could not get

LITERARY

DR.. Huguet is an aristocratic Southern
er of French descent, possessor of fine
estate in South Carolina. He become
acquainted with Mary Ruddiman, who
attends boarding school next door to
his residence. Having been told that
she is fond of books he welcomes her to
his library. In the course of their con.
versation he finds that she not only
reads the best of books but that she
comprehends that which she reads and
profits by it. DR.. Huguet falls in love
with Miss Ruddiman and the affection
is reciprocated. During one of the Doc
tors visits at Miss Ruddlman's, where
some of the neighbours had assembled,
the subject drifted toward the Negro
The d. ctor had political ambitions in
which he had been encouraged by Col.
Ruddiman and his daughter. However,,
he spoke so frankly and honestly as to
the rights Of the Negro as man and a
citizen that his prospects seemed to grow
less favorable. Miss Ruddiman told him
that unless he changed bis ideas, he
need never hope to be elected to Con-
gress from South Carolina. She pleads
with him so earnestly that he finally,
though with great reluctance, gives up
the championship of the Negro. Leav-
Jig Miss Ruddiman's, he goes home and
in the night has vision. He sees the
head of Christ with millions of hands OF
Colored people raised in supplication.
He is so much warned that be arises, but
what is his establishment to find that he
has been transformed into burly Negro
and instead of being in his own mansion
he is in cabin. He goes into the street
and tries to run out Of his black body.
but in vain. In trying to reach his
house he is arrested as Sam Johnsing, a
chicken thief, and is laughed at when he
tells the Court he is DR.. Anthony Hugue'
He finally gets home to Ben, his faithful
servant, who tells him that Sam John
sing does not hesitate to take advantage
of the white body of DR.. Huguet. Being
highly educa' ed and wealthy, DR.. Hug
uet feels that he can do great deal for
the bettering Of the condition of the
Colored people. The misery that he nm
dergoes and the prejudice to which he
is subjected seem almost incredible yet
it is the same that is the experience of
thousands OF Colored people in this
boasted land of the free. The doctor
labors for the Negro; sparing neither
time nor money. This makes him OBJ
noxious TO some of the whites and they
come with a mob to lynch him. He
manages to escape and in course of time
he is changed to his former white color,
marrits Miss Ruddiman and they both
agree, to devote their lives to the amelo-
ration of the condition of the Colored
race in America. Ignatius Donnelly has
certainly carefully analysed the feeli7 gs
of an educated refined mind when suf-
fering under the restraints imposed by
the possession of a black skin. "Uncle
Toms Cabin" gave true picture of sla-
very days; "Dr. Huguet" is true expo
si,ion of the conditions which exist to-
day 1t shows how hellish, damnable
predjudice in the Southland refuses to
recognize and encourage merit if pos
sessed by a person with a black skin.
DR.. Huguet should be read by every
Afro American in America.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1891.

One could scarcely conceive of more
absurd, far-fetched plea in behalf of the
lynchers of George Smith or Joe Coo in
Omaha recently than that he was fright
ened to death by the lynchers. DR..
Allison assistant county coroner made
post-mortem examination Of Smiths
body, and while there were sixteen
wounds and bruises on the head, and
his back was broken in three places, the
doctor testified under oath that the con-
tracted condition of the heart and the
appearances indicated that death result
ed from some great me ntal emotion, and
he was satisfied that Smith died of
fright, and upon the strength of this
testimony County Attorney Mahoney
asked for a continuance of preliminary
examination of the alleged lynchers, so
that he could amend the information to
suit that phase of the situation. The
court granted the request and continued
the case. We would, like to know
whether it makes any difference SO far
as the fact of the lynching was concerned
whether the ]ynchers frightened to
death their victim or smothered him to
death with roses or drowned him in
honey. 1t is not the manner of bringing
about his death that constitutes their
crime, but the fact that they brought it
about. Such an absurd plea is hey ond
