a careful observer of human

to women. Some talk to a woman
very much as they might talk to the
wonderful automaton around at the

seems 10 be thinking. What apparent
intelligence: What evident faculty of
mental independence. 1t almost ap-

of a woman as though she was Il dish

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE
COlORED MAN.

As TO the negro, the best scheme is
the scheme for making a good citizen
of him, and the scheme Tor getting
rid of him is the worst, because it is
impracticable.
Even Mr.. Lincoln was leased and
fretted by this problem, and oil a GER
tain occasion when a number of col
ored delegates visited him he made a
very neal speech, in which he advised
them 10 coloniZe outside of our ma
tional limits. lie believed that this
would be better for them as well as
for us.
Ever since that day. VIC have had a
succession of new laid plans for trans
porting the whole race to some o
genial cline. One man thinks il
would be a good thing to send them
by instalmentS to Liberia. where they
would have an opportunity TO build
up a republic of their own. This. he
declares, would make our country
politically happy. Another man
suggests that we set apart a large
tract of territory and invite the ne
groes TO go there and show what kind
of stuff they are made of.
Both experiments would he very

various stages of progress with in
tense curiosity. The chief difficulty
in the way is that the negro Gems TO
be quite contentcd where he is, and
there is no law extant by which we
c2n compel him to change his quar-
tiers. If We Invite him to go. he
will respectfully decline, preferringto
!inger in the vicinity of his "watcr-
million patch in the South. If we
attempt to "scnd" him. We must
first find authority for such procedure,
and that would be difficult.
We can't solve the problem in that
way. The colorcd man is here to
stay. aad the constitution allows him
to read his title clear TO his present
residence. He is an American citizen.

Italians, or the Germans, oil the Irish.
or any one else who has become
n~aturalizcd and behaves himself.
There is no use and no sense in
talking about what can't be done. II
is a mere waste of time
The only thing 10 do for the black
man, or for any other man who isnot
politically right side up, is TO educate
him. stir his ambition and help him to
reach the average standard of excel
lence. One hour spent IN that work
is better than ten years devoted TO a
OF getting rid Of him, because
the one hour may produce results
and the Ten years will certainly be
thrown away.
