SECRET ORDERS.
EDITORIAL SYNoASIS.

The great cry today by our people
is bad treatment from the whites. If
the race will follow the advice of the
craftman, viz: Stop hghing in secret
orders, churches &c, and give more
attention to business, social and edu-
cational matter, why the condition OF
the race will become such that there
will be no longer cry about bad treat
ment. There are lots to be done In
this country by the negro, so the soon
er fights are stopped, why the better
for the race. What we want to do is
to support our business enterprises,
get education and money and stop
knitting, put our best people TO the
front upon.all occasions, and above
all things work in harmony. Every
nation on the globe is more united
than the negro, we had better stop
before it is too late.
