is an old saying that If the shoe fits,
you may wear it; now, that the editor
of the Idea has taken upon himself to
wear the shoe, we can but suppose
that it is a fit.
In bis wrathful endeavors to tare
Caucasian into shreds and express
his own views of the negro question,
he SO completely corroborates my
own assertions on the subject, that !
must say that | am more pleased
than angered at his attack,
1t will be remembered that in al
luding to the negro | said: 'the
natural traits that are so essential in
the %cnltivating of a pure character
are not there to be cultivated" etc.
Mr.. Idea says, there has been
here ia the South for many years q
social equality which is against ma.
ture. 1t is vulgar and abhorrent to
the EXTREMIST degree. We all see
the fruits Of it in the yellow faces

to the public to define the true mean
ing of these remarks. Does it mean
virtue on the part of his beloved
woody race ? | think not.
The yellow faces to which he re-
fers as almost ~univeral are the ille-
Ultimate offsprings Of negro women,
which naturally indicates a lack OF
virtue on their part. 10 The absence
of virtue, veracity and integrity are
also wanting. Virtue, veracity and
integrity abont cover all that goes
toward the making up of a pure
character. In the absence of these
three traits which 60 hand in hand.
what have you got? Absolutely
nothing.
Mr. Idea also agrees with me on
the subject Of eocial equality. He
says that such a thing will never
exist simply because the people
choose their own companions. He
is correct. ] have known people to
choose companions that would not
suit me, and | presume vice versa.
Yes, | know of white people who
chose to invite negroes to their tables
to dine with them, that would not
suit me. but 1t is none of my business.
It is their privilege, and their own
business, and there is no one kicking
against it. The only thing that we
kick against is the abuses that these
same white men shower upon the
heads of other white men who are
not disposed to do as they do, or
think as they think.
The mental ran over that the gen.
tleman spoke of is too absurd to
think about. 1t is hardly probable
that the Almighty will cause the
brains Of the Caucasians 10 become
dormant simply to CRAFTY the whims
of an individual whose desire it is TO
see an inferior race rise above the
level of his own race.
! will conclude by saying that we
have three classes of people IN our
community viz First, the white
man who is satisfied to be a white
man regardless Of politics; second.
the negro who is satisfied to be a
negro; third, the white man who is
trying to be both white and nigger,
and in his efforts to be both has rem
