the two articles as copied 10y the
! Times Democrat. with the hope that
the restless negroes, who are IN
clined TO be saury aud impairment
to their white brothers here, may
come 10 the conclusion in reading
this that the SoutI, is for them an
earthly Paradise, here they enjoy
peacefully their freedom and tie
rights OF citizenship, provided they
are law abiding and otherwise re-
spectful 10 race which God made
IN every way superior to their OWL:
II is satisfactory TO find that, at
last, some attention is t,cing directed
To The manner III which the colored
population should he dealt with in
Johannesburg. The special article
in our issue a few days ago dealt
with the question IN a moderate aud
liberal spirit. while at thesa time
i; did not hesitate to affirm that
stringent measures must he adopted
before an,ih,ng else is done to put
down the growing nnpertineiice AID
aggressI,eness of Iiggers. The
milk-and- water treatment of the
genial 1Areht!eacon Liohtfoot aud his
co-negrepl,ili~ts in Cope Town is
utterly useless IN Johannesburg until

sense is he the equal of tie white
man except III the matter of beng

particular sphere; but do not make

The three Rs denote the utmost
lex,ent to Shich the education of the
natives should 60, aud anything be-

With regard TO the aspect of the
matter in which we are more im,ne-

of the natIve'eontingenl in camp
the first step ought To DC lie imme-

laling the streets with a stick or
knob-eerfie.of any description. Such
step was projected by the police
authorities some DAYS ago, and We
lcan only say there are hundreds of
Young men in tie town who are Will
log To place themselves under the
tor.lers of the police TO aid in this
disarmament. Another step should
be tie vigorous CARVING out of the

suggest that, when any of these

TONS.
In another article on the same sub
iect. SAYS the Times Democrat. the
Standard takes an even more advance
Ell position. A government sanitary
inspector having been beaten b,
some negroes, il proposes the dis
afrn:ng Of the negroes. and that none
of ilien he allowed To carry even a
stick. Another white man killed
three ..nisgers"-ihe Standard does
not speak OF the colored brother as
a ue9ro who were stealing. meat
from him, Mhereupou he was arrested
for niarier, or manslaash'er, and. as
The Standard expressed it, all .sthe
perten,eus machinery Of the law"
was hroughi 10 bear against HIM.
The Judge of the lower court ex
pressed The opinion: II think it a

negroes" but the prisoner, Zabban
by the name, has TO go before a
higher trihnnai, winch makes the Jo-
hannesberg paper very indignant
that he should be put to this iacon-
venience.
