SHALL WE CONTINUE IN THE
OLD RUTS?

In the midst of the push and busi-
ness enterprise of our race neigh
bors around us, it is evident that
we must change our base of action,
and center vigorously upon forms
and methods which will have a
tendency to advance and improve
our condition. We educate our
boys and girls as general rule,
with bnt one aspiration, and that is
to be teacher; but few take busi-
ness course, or acquire knowledge
Of short hand, telegraphy or type
writing, and yet avenues for en-
ployment in these branches are
opening up to us every day. 1t
was not SO IN former years Occa-
sionally, we meet some member OF
the race who is pouring out his
viaIs Of wrath and indignation
against some white man because he
will not give a clerical position to
their boy or girl. They endeavor
to force them upon business men
on the ground that they have ac-
quired limited education, or grad
uated from some high school. In
this, they are mistaken. In the
selection Of clerks, and statesmen
and women, the employer, in nine
times out Of ten, judges the appli-
cant more by his business expert
ence than by his knowledge Of
books. We have but few enter
prises conducted by our race which
place us in position to give re
spectacle employment to members
Of the race; we are entirely depend
ent upon the so-called superior race
for every species Of labor, mental
or physical in which we are en-
ployed, and until we become the
possessors Of wealth and control
extensive business corporations,
we cannot hope for our material
condition to improve, or business
relations change. Churches and
societies seem to have firm grasp
upon us, and yet our religious, NOR
al and socia conditions are not en-
hanced in proportion to the amount
Of energy and labor given to them.
The plea of individual poverty,
is no longer an excuse. We must
combine our capital and build up
enterprises Of our own, by which
we may come in competition with
the business world. We scarcely
pick up a newspaper, but what we
read Of the "Gould" and the "Van-
derbilt" systems, and the inference
is, that these systems are the ex-
elusive properties Of these great
railroad magnates; owned, controll-
ed and operated by them; but they
are not; they are corporations in
which hundreds Of men hold stock.
In like manner, though on a small lcr
scale, we too, may combine and by
so doing, pave the way for the up
building of our race. In many Of
the Southern States, such organlza-
tions exist. Notably: he one at
Natchez, Miss, known as the Miss
issippi Cooperative and Benefit AS
sociation. 1t has stock holders in
sixteen States, and is demonstrate
ing by its unparalleled success, that
we have among US men OF superior
executive and business qualifications
also the National Investment As.
sociation Of Virginia, which is
meeting with like success.
Let US initiate their example, by
so doing, We will compel prejudice
to disappear. and clerical, indus
trial and mechanical avenues will
soon open up for US whereby we may
be enabled to prove that the colon
of the skin or texture of the hair
are 1t evidences Of race SUPERIOR

spots, was as near dead as possible to be and
have business transacted at alt. but there was
an inclination to heaviness, and prices at the

cipally of fear that SORTS free coinage measures

Chicago Gas was sold on rumors of liquida ion
by the bull pool in the stock. On the other
hand, Susquehanna and Western stocks were

exhibited no recuperative power. however, and
the close was no more than steady, generally at
