The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1897-10-15

DR.. Hamilton or any OF you can make.
A little canon picked up on a New
Orleans levee by Christian lady and
sent to school is now DR.. Bowen who
received the largest vote ever cast for
colored man for bishop of our church.
DR.. Hall said in substance: These
despised races have suffered at the
hands Of the Anglo-Saxons. They
were highway robbers from the begin
ing. The first glimpse we get OF him
he is standing on bloody deck waving
cutlass above his head. Other races
he may have driven out or destroyed,
but the negro race is here to stay.
The Anglo.Saxon increases by addition,
the negro by multiplication. 1t takes
the German, Irish, Scotch and English
to keep the white population develop
ing, but the negro is destined 10 stand
alone. The problem of the negro is
great. Some of us shall live to see the
time when 6O,00O,Oo0 Of blacks shall be
in America Some talk of transport
ing him, but we would not live long
enough to do it, There are 600 black
babies born daily.
For 400 years slavery pressed a board
down upon this one race. 1t trans
ported 900, 900 from A rican soil, but
it was not alone he negro who suffered.
1t burt, also, the white man OF the
south. A man may have all the fair
ness OF the Anglo Saxon, but let hin
have but one faint trace Gf negro blood
and u stigma rests upon him. Remove
the stigma and he will assert himself q
man. Science knows but two tests OF
the animal called man, the con volutiOns
of his brain and corpuacles of his blood
and the negro's brain is ,apa le tf as
deep convolutions as Ile white mans
aud the ga pe corpuscles are found in
his blood.
The hurt to the white man was three
fold. 1t took away his sense of justice
1t put disgrace upon labor, and when 6
people do that they have lost the hes
chance of success. We talk grea
deal about the negro, but we have no
so much sympathy as sentiment.
We are educating in the south one
fourth of the students and one-third o
the teachers OF our church. Nor doe
it cost as much as in the north. Tw
boys walked 300 miles to attend Rus
University and did not have cent whe
they got there. They lived for seve
months on 500 apiece, ten cents a day
, Money symbolizes power, but l neve
will stamp fifty cents worth of silve
i, and call it dollar, but dollar put
: the Freedman's Aid will put soul vi
= der the rib OF superstition, and teache
y the way of life.
n our AZ schools in the south, 2l al
y for colored people and 20 for whit
q having an aggregate attendance OF 5S2
They are taught not only the usu
studies, but also industrial work, hous
10 keeping, etc. 1t is more than mil
n training, it is training the soul. 1t is
,f vast problem to so train the ignora
- people as to give them true power, tn
~ they shall not be against the interes
