THE NEGRO RAPIST.
To the San Antonio Light.

To the San Antonio Light.
In no community in the south does
the negro enjoy American citizenship
to a fuller extent than in San An
tonic. In fact this is an exceptional
community so far as the negro is con-
cerned; early in his career as free
man he had a good friend in this city
who secured for him educational ad-
vantages, no where else enjoyed; he
became a property owner, a taxpayer
and factor in local politics: His
vote has always been counted and he
has become a courted suffragan. He
has been catalogued as a Republican
but has of late years been only con-
YentiOn Republican. But one member
of his race has ever been hanged in
this city and that was after fair trial
by jury, for rape, and he was one
legged negro. The prominent men,
bers of the race in this city call a
meeting and protest against the anti
rape convention called by n. Q. Hen
dersOn at Columbus, Texas. AS re-
ported in the Express, this meeting is
likely to have a very bad effect.
Henderson has no doubt been impelled
by sense of the growing race preju-
dice. superinduced by the frequent &C.
currence or assault made by negroes
upon white females. These San An
tonic negroes resent this as an insult
to their race and proceed to denOunce
Henderson. 1t turns out just as any
thoughtful observer might expect;
the negro lacks unity of purpose; the
educated of the race presume to social
With tho yyhitn and
throw themselves back upon lie law.
They forget that no matter what the
shame of hundreds of years of slavery
may have brought, they would place
the colored brute on par with the
white brute. One of the speakers pro-
claimed that "mesigmation was rape"
in other words he justified rape be-
cause the white man had been the ag-
gressor. Yes, truly, under slavery the
white man was the brute, but under
freedom mesigmation is crime.
| There will be no change. The negro
will be the victim of his own lust. The
white man must be the master. Race
prejudice may die out, but 1t VIII
not be until the negro learns that al
| though free American citizen he can
not palate or excuse the criminals OF
his race. Henderson was right but he
will fail to have the support OF his
own people.
Mob law. lynching, is not only mex
cusable but futile as remedy
| against the rapist, white OF
black. but there is law as unchange-
able as the rising sun that the negro
who touches and mars the form OF the
white woman or child must die, and
die quick and terribly If only the
vengeance of the white male could be
controlled and the verdict left to the
courts it would be better. To this end
all good people should strive. But the
utterances of the San Antonio negroes
will not help solve the question.

with that high sense of honor so strik-
ing because sa rare; he has built up a
practice that is fairly bristling with
monuments of his success. He invited
the writer to assist him in a case of
kidney trouble which all of us agreed
seemed to require eXtirpation, upon
which he Immediately proceeded TO
operate with that view. Coming down
upon the organ, however, he found no
stone deposit but a vast number of
adhesionS, which he broke up entirely,
to the great temporary and, as every
thing indicates, the permanent relief
of the patient In this case many an
ambitious surgeon would not have
hesitated with the kidney in his hand
to add TO his glory by complete eXter-
patton; but after quiet conference with
his assistants, he placed it in position
saved the organ to the patient, and re-
lieved her of the agony to which she
had been so long subjected.
THAT was surgery!

"San Antonio'itself is city of $4,000
inhabitants, now the largest in this
great state, is a grand old place full
of thrilling memories and the records
of daring deeds in the days that tried
mems souls. Its public buildings are
superb and costly, its people warm
hearted, its climate warm, but always
breezy and delightful in the shade-in
fact, taken altogether, there are few
places within the limits of civilization
throughout the world that can boast
of more delightful surroundings in
every phase of life.
THE grand old chivalry of the South
still lives within it's borders and its
fair maidens and brave men still pre-
serve inviolate the glory of native
nobility. Oh, that it might leayen the
whole lump of our modern civiliza-
ton!
ence within the historic walls of the
Alamo where fell those heroes of early
Texas history-the modern Thermopy-
lae--even more thrillingly defended
than the ancient pass, and we seemed
to hear that echo of revenge as it
fioated out in defiance to Santa Annals
hoydes-'Remember the Alamor and
we could not but feel that the honor
and virtue and chivalry of her daugh-
tiers and her sons of this day were the
heritage of those Texas heroes.
