think it becomes you to encourage

We know what Democracy means
and what it has done and is still do

becomes us to use every means to
bring about bettr condition of af
fairs and to advocate that which
means the greatest good to the great

enough to do this and We feel persuaded that
these so-called Negro independents and mig
ger Democrats. either deceive themselves and are
not informed as to the political history Of this
country or they devoid attributes OF true
manhood
But white men can change their po-
litical belief as many times as there are
days in week or months in a year
and all is well. Politics with white
man is simply business, in short,

COLORED BISHOPS.

One OF the subjects agitating the Episcopal
General Convention has been the proprety OF aI
pointing colored biz hops. Th, special commits

ported against Such appointments. The repo

Church, who b at know the needs and wants OF

Northern friends bother themselves too mu. h
about the negro in the south
All their theories based upon absolute ig-
norancs about the negro. They do not know
him and cannot know him the Southern peo
pie know him, They always lose sight OF the
fact that the negro belongs to race that has

looked TO some superior for guidance. He
belongs to race only recently given q suffrage

enough but it would be worse to create import-

Southern white bishops know what

il it that Southern white bishop
knows what is better for the Negro
than the Northern white bishop?
Simply because he sees more of the

white bishop knows no more about
the Negro, than does The State, y
