The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1892-01-23

Gen. GARRISON, who is Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, only
the other day declared that the Negro
and the ballot-box were to be the ques
tons on which the Republican party
was to go before the country in 1892
Gen. GARRISON is right. So long as the
frauds upon the ballot-box affected onl,
the Colored Republ cans of the South,
public sentiment could not be aroused
But New York has has had recent ex.
perience in Southern methods imported
from Georgia by Dictator Hill that has
had a most convincing and Statutory
effect. High-toned people have not
time to pay much attention to Jack the
Ripper's operatians, as long as he limits
them to disemboweling poor ou:cast
prostitutes, but when the dynamite
crank forces himself into the million
aires private office, they awake to a
lively sense OF the want of good taste
thereby displayed and even summon
courage to condemn the breach of Ell.
quette. The Republican, or some other
party, must take a sand and protect
the purity of the ballot, or our republic
must degenerate to the rank of those in
outh America.

The "Co'ored bishop" question is
creating much stir in the NJ. E. cburh,
and inciden,ly, bringing forth for inspec-
ton, some unique specimen of variegated
christianity. Thus, Southern christian.
ity through the Alabama Christian Ad-
vocate says: 1.-THE Methodist Episcopal
brethren in all candor should elect a
Colo, ed bishop in justice to their Colored
membership, and when he is elected,
let him be full bishop, and take his
turn in presiding in white conferences
with tho other bishops of that church "
To this Northern christianity. through
the Michigan , hristian Advocate re-
plies: If our Southern confreres saw
too much upon this subject we shall feel
inclined to elect Colured bishop. We
do not know just the man for the Office,
but we will pick ont the best fellow We
know, make him full bishop call him
to preside over the Michigan conference,
and send him as fraternal delegate to
the next General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1892-01-23

the Negro thinks that he is superior,
and he begins to look down on you. So
long as you can hold the Negro to an
equality with you, you can get along
with him, but just as soon as he tegins
to feel above you, you can do nothing
with him. That is the great trouble in
utilizing Colored people people for mis-
sionary work. They soon begin to feel
themselves smarter than the white peo-
pie who have led them up, and then
their arrogance makes them utterly un-
manageable" 1t would certainly be of
great interest for the doctor to relate
when he had his strange experience
holding down high-standard Negroes to
an equality with himself and mourning
because they would not stop. The ex-
perience was surely, bitter one, inten-
sifed by the fact that the "Negroes''
were "utterly unmanageahle We are
not appraised as to whether, or not, DR..
Welch is capable of managing anything,
but take the liberty Of suggesting that
he try his hand upon a wheelbarrow. 1t
will stop just where he wants it to, and
will not AXE the trOuble to do anV think
ing. Anything that thinks is dangerous
and manageable.

The Mountain Christian Advocate
says: ITO elect Colored man bishop
because he is Colored man, and as
matter of policy, would be yielding to a
race prejudice which Is not part of the
spirit OF our Methodism. The best thing
the Colored man can do is to let this ques
ton alone" A great many Colored men
have been elected bishops and have
shown themselves worthy Of the posi-
ton. Taking into consideration the
thousands of Colored ministers the A.
NJ. E. Church has educated, the church
es it oas built and the successful demon
stration it has afforded of the capacity
of Colored men to build up great, pro.
gressive and intelligent organization,
there is some reason to suppose that the
best thing the Colored man can do is to
follow the example set by Bishop Allen
some years ago. One of the grandest
events in the history Of the race was his
becoming the bishop OF an old black
smith shop. No qualification can make
a bishop, unless the material worked
| upon is a man to start with. MEN do
not lot one stions which concern their
manhood alone, ut the dictation of a
church. party or anything else.

In an article in the Forum, Mr.. JOSEPH

In an article in the Forum, Mr.. Joseph
B. Bishop, of the New York Evening
Post, says the Australian ballot 81 stem
1t furnishes the Southern people with
the only method by which they can get
rid of the great bulk of the Colored vote
in loyal, peaceful and unc Objectionable
manner, He failed to show that it
could also be used in New York in the
admirable manner. but Gov. Hill has
done so on a stupendous scale. The
moral philosophy which commends s'get
ting rid OF" a legal vote is on par with
the catchings plan of removing" oppo-
sition leaders.

SO obnoxious to white ones as to render
the Jim Grow car necessity, why is it
that white merchants will use every in
ducement to bring Colorei customers
into their stores, that white lawyers will
undertake their cases, that white physi-
clans will attend them in sickness and
white teachers Jump at the chance Of
of teaching in their schools? Why do
the white lotteryites and anti-lotteryites
of louisiana court their votes? Why do
hundreds of white men stand behind
bars and voluntarily make themselves
humble servants to Colored customer?

At the convention Of Educators re-.
Gently held in Nashville, Prof. Grisham
is reported to have said that he took ten
Colored newspapers and could read
them all in one minute. because there
was nothing in them. The remark Was
neither truthful. sensible nor brilliant.
The editors of many of our Colored
newspapers ara fully the peers of Mr..
Grisham in education, good sense and
in every other particular. and their work
as educators is no less important than
his. The learned and egotistic professor
can learn vast deal from our olored
newspapers, whenever he really faith
oms the depths of his own ignorance.

My Dear MIR. ADAMS:
I read THE APPEAL, and fad
it very easy to commend the skill ability and good
judgement with which it is conducted, l find i;
impossible to read all the Colored papers, but
manage to look into most of them enough to dis
their spirit and ascertain their drift and pur
pose. I rejoice that have lived to see so many
men of thought and action, welding the pswer OF
the press in the interests Of oppressed ma.
ligned and slandered people. If may be allowed
a suggestion would say that greater prominence
should be given to the outrages committed upon
our people. Important as l deem recognition and
represen alton in the government that interest Is
as mere dust in the balance compared with the Sc
curity of life and liberty. Murder, fierce, bloody
and high handed stalks abroad over the whole
South. Lynch law, which is no law, is killitg our
people by scores and hundreds and where is the
Press or Pulpit that is faithfully exposing the law
less violence. Even our Colored preachers in pres
ence Of these helish practices go on from Sunday
to Sunday thanking God that they live in Chris.
