prnnEAMT WITH VARIATIONS.

Some northern and western philanthro-
pists have redreamt, with variations, the
wild dream of solving the negro problem
nv coIouizing the brothers in black" The
original dream contemplated sending the
negroes to Africa. The variations con-
template dcporting them TO Cuba, PORTO
Rico. and Hawaii, and in order to the
naturalization of their dream, these
northern and western phianthropists
would have Congress appropriate 10000
600 to establish homes for the negroes IN
the islands of the sea aforementioned. In
fact. they are circulating petitions ask
ing Congress to set apart the little sum
named for that purpose.
We do not question the sincerity Of these
redreamers Moreover. the gigantcness
of the scheme-that of transporting and
furnishing homes for some 100000 OF
human beings-challenges our admiration
Again. and. Furthermore, we are 10th TO
say anything calculated TO dispel the VI
sions of negro happiness and progress
and prosperity, in which our philanthro-
pists are revealing.
But as q cold fact, this movement Is
about on a par with all other movements,
both philanthroplc and political, that have
been. started in the North and West for
the benefit Of the negro. Admitting that
it would be possible 10 carry it out, 1t
would be one of the worst things we could
do for him. Nothing could be more uto-
plan than the theory that 1t would be
kindness to the negro 10 segregate him
from the superior race, and that he would
advance under that condition. Every one
familiar with the history of Haiti. where
the negro has every national environ
ment that ought 10 conduce to his pro-
gress. knows that colonization Of our e.
groes would mean sending them back TO
savagery voudoosm, and cannibalism.
The deportation of the negroes to cuba,
Porto Rico. and Hawaii would be a strik-
ing travesty upon our contentious regard
ing our responsibilities to the inferior
races of our present and proposed new
possessions. 1t would be a mocking Of
our humanity cry.
No. the race is here to stay, and, for
the most part, it is going to stay in the
South. From a sentimental standpoint.
the negro is the ward of the nation"
10 be bathed in crocodile tears and sym
pathized with theoretically; from a Irac-
teal standpoint he is the ward Of the
southern white people, who recognize now
no less than they did in the days of
slavery that they have a practical duty
TO perform towards him. That duty they
are capable of performing, and will per-
form if he and they are let alone by the
negroes pseudo-philanthropic and po-
litical friends across the border. And in
performing it they will solve the negro
problem in the best interests OF their
civilization and the negroes happiness.
