once. 1t usually accompanies or fol-
lows success. No one can externally
"enjoy" either the one or the other.
Then why tender US such advice? The
TINES says:
1.-The white people of the South will
never allow the Negroes TO rule them
either through their own agencies or
through the white men who put them
selves up as Negro leaders. The ex-
perience that the Negro has had in the
last thirty-odd years ought to demon
strate this to him."
The colored people are not trying to
rule the white people of the country.
They insist that the whole people shall
rule them. And again:
The sensible thing for the Negro to
do. therefore. is TO abandon politics as
race and to devote his time to trying
TO improve his condition in life by in
dustry, thrift and economy. II he
votes at all, let each Negro vote as he
would like and not as his race votes,
and the Negro will find his condition
sCssdily improving from the time this
policy is adopted"
The sensible thing for US to do is to
engage in business, politics and reli-
gion. To be a good, true citizen, one
must ofiiciate in the government of the
country. To argue otherwise would
be to discredit the teachings of centu-
ries.
This is government OF the whole
people. No north, no south, no east,
no west. no Negro, no white man =
this is JEFFERsoN's ideal, aud reaIi-
cation of it must come sooner or later.
Prepare yourself, sir, for the dawn
of the morning.

OOLORED TROOPS AND PATRIo rIsM
The Richmond. Va DISPATCH says:

The Richmond. Va DTsPAroH says:
1.-The colored men of Virginia are
not distinguishing themselves by rush.
ing to the front. They are taking their
time about Volunteering. They are
making up their quota very slowly.
III white officers had been forced upon
them, we should have been told that
that was the cause OF the delay. AS it
is, no explanation is vouchssfed for
the slackness in patriotism shown by
that part of our population. which by
some in the North is regarded as the
only loyal class in the South"
The above is a very "unkind cut"
in view of the disgraceful manner in
which virginia's quota from the white
population was secured.
Men had to be accepted who would
not have passed muster at the regular
army-hssdquarters in this city.
More than this. many were drummed
out of the headquarters of the Frs t
Virginia Regiment, corner Seventh
and Marshall SITS because they refus-
ed to enlist.
When the men marched from the
Exposition Grounds to the railway
station, many presented most luGi-
crous and unfortunate appearance. 1t
looked like every white "rag-tag and
bob-tail in the state had been drafted
into service.
You must have noticed this. even as
we did and fairness and justice should
have caused you to hold your tongue.
As for the colored men. the compa-
MES were recruited up to more than
the required number. They were sub
jected to a NEST rigid examination,
and by tlis means the commands we're
reduced in some cases 70 as much as
forty percent.
1t looked as though they were not
wanted. Despite that fact, every
Richmond company has left with the
full quota.
If white officers had been selected
each colored company would have been
comp posed of ten men instead of one
hundred and six as required by the
United States regulations.
Keep quiet on these questions
you'll get your feelings hurt.

skunk TO hymenial feast"
Rev. @. n. PAYNE. d. D.. is one OF
the ablest divines in this country. His
conduct during his legislative career
has been such as to win the respect
and esteem of all classes, white and
colored.
But this man compares him to q

one person and that is the one who

trust him twenty minutes after night

not but what his image is walking

The census takers did not undertake
