When Matz presented himself at the

charged him, stating that the law OF

No person, whether having . license or not

RACE CONFLICTS.
History Teaches that the Highest
Spiritual and Mental Force Wins.

The methods were barbarous; they belonged
to a barbarous and cruel age; but the
moment the Israelites, with their higher
morality and their nobler conceptions OF
God and truth and duty. came in conflict
with a licentious, a demoralized, corrupt

cisely the same issue has been presented
again and again. We have tried now. for
centuries to preserve the Indians as Indians.
We have fenced them round in reservations,
preserved for them their hunting grounds,
and bound ourselves by solemn treaty to
of their barbariSm; and civilization has
surged up to the wall and swept the wall

whether we shall keep them in reservations

civilization on the one hand and Indian

race in the South loses its moral life, if It
become a corrupt and barbarous race, it
ceases to be the higher race. The only
way in which the Anglo-Saxon race in the
South can preserve its political supremacy
is by preserving its moral supremacy. If
the Anglo-Saxon race does preserve it's
moral supremacy, the negro race must
either be subject to the Anglo-Saxon race,
or take on Anglo-Saxon moral character.
The only hope for the negro race in the
South is such spiritual and intellectual edu-

the DAYS of creation down to the present
time confirms this affirmation, that, If you
put race against race, the higher race al

WHAT HETEROPHEMY is.
Some Amusing manifestations of n

Heterophemy, the curious disease which

to many amusing combinations. An old
lady living in town on the Hudson river
is thus afflicted. She is tall and stately
