viii THE BLACK RACE ULTIMATELY
|NTERBLEND WITH THE CAUCAS|AN2
Startling Question Propounded by Bishop Gaines in hi
New Book--His Sensational Theory.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

Gaines. the portliest broadcast ana
blackcst of all the bishops of the black
church. has become the prophet OF Il
startling creed, which he has evolved ana
and embodied in book form as his con-
trihution to the literature of his race
His book, which is not yet out Oh the
nresS is the frankest and, maybe, tle
hrayest that has yet appeared on the
subiect. To speak after the manner Oh
tbe newspaper shop, it is, assurediy, the
most sensa tional.
In nreseuting his view Of the question,
he has not minced words nor has ne
lodged conclusions as he sees them lie
bas marshaled all the facts he can lay
hands on and faced them like the blum
and ready big bishop that he IS. The re-
suit is something that may cause the
white race to SILVER.
In n word. Gaines presents the theory
that the black race is surely and gradu-
ally being absorbed by the white; that IN
the run of the years the black face VIII
disappear. the evolution being reached
through a process of graded mulatto
tints and constantly lessening African
characteristics. This process of bleach
ing out race, he declares, is going on
wear by year. and will continue ineXora-
bly, until the miracle is wrought. In fact,
no maintains it is already, in great
measure, accomplished. He marshals TO
his use the pitiless logic of some shocking
facts to sustain his stand.
The bishops warning finger points to
the figures which show that there are
over a million and a quarter mulattos In
the South. Gaines stoutly asserts that
there has already been sufficient infu-
sion of white blood into black veins TO
caucasianize the whole race if the blood
were generally distributed.
He handles with marked delicaey, yet
with impressive force, the difficulties
which the problem thus viewed presents.
The character of his book on ''Amalga-
nation is followed by one on Inter
marriage" On this subject he quotes
from a New York woman in presenting
a plan for the removal of one of the
moral difficulties in the pathway of the
inevitable blending of the two races
From her he quotes this sentiment:
81 believe that we are bound to brush
away all barriers that separate the ne
gro from the white man. | do not know
whether the sexual amalgamation OF
the races is desirable or not, but l dc
believe that every law forbidding inter
marriage should be swept from the stat
utes. If it is law of nature that they
should not mingle, leave it to nature
and nature will work it out, but every
refusal to legalize marriage is to give
opportunity to illegal and irregular
unions"
Commenting on this expression, which
came from Mrs. Edna ID. Cheney, in the
Mohonk conference, at Lake Mohonk
New York, seven years ago, the bishop
says:
"This is the language of one of thu
most cultured and highly respected wo
men of the North( and as / have stated
before, is well nigh the universal senti
ment of the largest section of this coun
try"

The big bishop does not commit him
self to a direct approval of miscegena-
ton or intermarriage; he states rather
tamely in one place that he deplOres
both, but the whole force and influence
of his argument and position, whether
Intentionally or not, tend in that direc-
ton. He maintains his stand for racial
integrity, claiming his high belief in the
ultimate triumph of the blacks and his
mistaken and unsuitable faith that
they can develop the best qualities Of
citizenship and civilization.
This startling clear-cut view coming
from a church official so high and in
fluential as Bishop Gaines will engage
the interest of all the thoughtful world.
Gaines is one of the greatest leaders of
his race. He has been powerful factor
in the development and upbuilding of
the African Methodist church, and he
is known on the two great hemispheres.
When he was a child he was slave
and the property of Gabriel Toombs, a
brother of Senator Robert Tommbs. In
his childhood days he had the advantag-
es-a slaves advantages-of contact
with the great men of the State, and in
this way his ambition was fired. Cen
eral Toombs was the friend of the
young slaves boyhood, and Alexander
III. Stephens, Bishop George f. Pierce
and many other eminent Georgians
were frequent visitors to the Toombs
place, and the humble waiting boy, one
day destined to be a bishop, hung rap
turously upon their words. In his book
he says: 81 always felt the inspiration
of their presence. l was conscious that
there was something in me that made
me aspire to be what they were"
The early impulse of ambition has
been realized in the bishops life. He
has grown into great and widespread
usefulness to his race, and as a bene-
ficent and kindly counsellor Of his hum
BILE people he has been of heroic SER
vice. He has been a faithful and loyal
adherent of the negro. Speaking Of the

The bishop believes that every sign of
the times points to the contamination of
the extinction of his race. 1t will disap
pear, mingling its traits and qualities
with the white race, diffusing through
the whole sum of caucasian blood the
Afrcan's blood as the Iatter's contribu-
ton to the construction of the wonder
fully composite caucasian race.
Gaines not only points to the evidence
of glazing facts which rest within the
range of every eye, but he claims the
warrant of history to prove his theory.
He declares that but one race in his
tory has maintained its racial integrity
the Jews-and, he declares, with all
their boosted purity of blood, it must be
admitted that admixtures have taken
place He approves the theory that the
interblending of races is favorable to
the general progress Of mankind.
Summed up, Gaines concludes that
there is to be total extinction of the
black type, which when accomplished
although it come through shame and
defiement, will have added to the might
and greatness of the caucasian.

lamation naming Friday, the twenty
second of this month, the Autumn
Arbor day. He calls attention in his
proclamation to the benefits derived

of these facts it is the patriotic duty
of every teacher to see to it that
Arbor day is properly observed by his
school. Since many of the rural
schools are not in session during
either of the Arbor days appointed in
the spring of the year, 1t has become
the established custom for the school
department TO name an Arbor day in
the fall of the year, and October 20

provides as follows Every person

this State before being admitted an

The hard-and-fast rule will, no doubt,
disfranchise many unfortunate citizens
who, though they cannot read and
write, are more capable and worthy
than others who can read and write.
But no test either of property or edu-
cation or tax paying operates with
impartial justice. The new rule may
tend to purify the ballot in Connect
cut, but there is room for grave doubt
as to its working.-Er.

Abandoned.

Judge Mcpherson, of the Dauphin
court, has promptly decided to be in
valid the late act of Assembly, de-
clarlng that the name of candidate
for office shall appear but once on
the ballot. The attorney general con-
ceded this to be his view. and there
was no opposition made to the motion
to command the secretary OF state to
allow the name of the Republican
candidates for judge in Philadelphia,
to be also put in the Democratic col
umn, they having been nominated
also by the Democratic party. The
ground of the decision we understand
to be that the constitution requires
that selections shall be free and equal;"
and because also the election law,
which it amends, permits political
parties to make nominations without
limitation.
1t is perhaps not clear to everyone
wherefore the need OF placing one
name but once upon a ballot inter
teres with the freedom of elections
or wherefore later law may not
amend an earlier one. The Demo
cratic voters who should desire in
Philadelphia to vote for Republican
judge, had the easy opportunity to do
so afforded them, by marking his name
IN its place in the Republican column.
The amendment to the law, how
ever, seems to have no friends, and
no one appeared to show the reason
for it; and therefore it fairly found
prompt burial. What it was begun
for, to be SO soon done for, we do not
know. II there is any good reason for
1t, it is fair to assume that some one
would have presented it to the court (;
as no friend appeared in its behalf, we
may assume that its sponsors have
cruelty abandoned it.-E.r.

clan end tried his medicine, end In week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore made its appearance on his arm.
1t grew worse and worse, and when he
was three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaperilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and
have never returned. He is now four years
old, but he has never had any sign of
