the enactment of separate marriage
laws" based upon the color OF a per
sons skin
The Bible prohibits the marriage of
believers in Christ with infidels or
heathens. but it lays no restriction.
whatever, upon the intermar1 iaRe of
members OF different races, provided
both parties TO the contract are be-
levers IN Christ. or unbelieyers. And
the Bible relates numbers OF instances
where believing Jews married Ethio-
plans and members of other races who
were believers in Jehovah or Christ.
NO NEED OF A LAW.
And since the whites of the South
are SO far above the Negroes-so much
stronger than they-and so superior in
every way to the degraded, !" "iQnor-
ant" and "despicable" Negro there is
no need OF law to keep the whites
from marrying the Negroes and vice
versa.
To pass law prohibiting the, whites
and Negroes from marrying each 9TH
er, is TO lead them to fntermarry, for
humanity likes to do the thing that
men say it must not do.
DO NOT PREVENT IT.
4hcso separate marriage laws" do
not prevent the intermarriage of the
races. for the whites and Negroes who
want to marry each other, find way
to carry out their desires in spite of
the law. These iniquitous marriage
laws simply promote deception and
shield immoral white men in their ef-
forts TO debauch and destroy Negro
women and in the name of morality

A good many exchanges and lot of
people who don't know what they are
fassing about seemed to be miffed at
Hon. T. Thomas Fortune for promptly
sitting on Mr.. SmYth and his back
woods ideas last month at the Roches-

anything of the kind, as we think Pres
ident Fortune acted very wisely in rul-
ing IS be did. Such speeches as Smytn
attempted to make before the Council
are the kind that should be laid upon
the shelf and never resurrected. There
should be intermarriage and separate
school laws in every state in the union,
and If so, there would be no race trou-
bles in America.
Intermarriage will cause stoppage
in the influx of half-breed children in
the United States and mixed schools
will cause white aud black children to
grow up in friendship, and we say
again that Thomas Fortune added lan--
rels to his brow when he sIleneed John
II. Smyth of Virginia in his speech at

Mr.. Thomas Fortune, in the New
York Age, shows up very effectively
the humbug Of separate school and
marrioge laws. The incident that
brought 1T out was the Rochester con-
ference where AIr. Fortune made q
square issue of his membership Of the
conference and OF his presiding over
it on the direct question of admitting
Hon. John IL. Smyth of Virginia. to
membership of the conference after
Mr.. Smyth's open and shameful decla-
ration that he did not believe in mixed
schools and mixed marriages, on the
specious and untenable plea that he
believes in the preservation OF the Ne
gro type, and all that sort of rot.

According to the echoes which reach
us from the Afro-American Conference
which was held recently in the city of
Rochester, New York, Hon. John H.
Smyth, of Virgins, was denied mem
bership in that body because his views
ON mixed schools and intermarriage
laws did not accord with those pre-
viously expressed by the chairman OF
the meeting. That is, he was found to
be opposed to mixed schools and the
intermarriags Of the races, and gave as
the reason for his faith that he believ-
ed that by separating ourselves we
could better preserve our distinct

The Afro-American conference re-
Gently held at Rochester, N. Y. seems

puzzle, and it is painfully apparent
that it did not know the state OF its

They declared that Mr.. Fortune was
wrong because he favored the mixing
of the white and colored youth in the
public and other schools, while they
refused membership to ex-Mlnister
Smyth because he held views diamet-
rical to Mr.. Fortunes and favored the
separation of the races in the schools.

two positions is genius This the

Quite sensation was caused in Camp
last Wednesday by the resignation OF
nine of our officers. The order for the
examination of the officers, as to their
fitness, qualifications and conduct was
issued Monday evening. By Tuesday
afternoon every single officer affected
by the order had rendered his resigna-
ton to Col. Croxton. When the Board
met Wednesday morning. they found
nothing to do and retired. The resig-
nations have been forwarded to the
President, and much speculation is in
dusged in as to what the result will be.
According TO rules and regulations, if
the designations are accepted, the ap-
pointments will be made from the
ranks. on the recommendation of the

of the State and the President.

The intermarrisge of the white and
the colored people was the chief SUBJ
iect discussed at the Rochester con-
ventiCr. In that convention the inter
marriage question had no place what
ever; and would not have been intro
duced were it not for some selfish and
political purpose.
Doubtless when this question was in
troduced by Mr.. Smyth he had in mind
the good effect it would have in his
own State toward attracting public at
tention to himself; that he succeeded
there is no question.
WAS 1T RIGHT
But in all fairness was it right for
Mr.. Smyth to go to that convention
and there thwart thwart the very OBJ
iect for which these gentlemen were
called together?
The Courant said week before the
convention was in session that If any
selfish men or office seekers should not
be allowed to talk nor have any voice
in the convention.
Although he was not a member of
that body, Mr.. SmYth accomplished
his purpose and received the notoriety
that comes from cheap people. The
man who stands in the way and pre-
vents q couple from being equally lock
ed together is an enemy to the human
