rate the males from the females; give the
juveniles asylums OF their own and the Op-
portunity to reform. The other states of the
Union do it, why can't the South? It has
wealth enough, it needs only inclination. We
appeal to its inclination. As a matter OF
fact there must be no less than 10000 Afro
Americans in the South who are held in in
voluntary service, contrary to the thirteenth
amendment to the Constitution OF the United
States and the peonage statutes thereof.
s.s. Intelligent S citizenship ts the strongest est
school purposes In the Southern states Is
wholly Inadequate to obliterate the abnormal
illiteracy OF those states, due in large part
to the maintenance of separate schools for
the two races, necessitating a double expen-
the public domain of such states as have
public lands be devoted to school purposes.
6. We feel that more general distri-
button of the Afro american race throughout
the states of the Union and the new terri
tories Of the republic, in order to reduce the
would do much to simplify the race problem
In those states, and we urge that such dis
tr1butiOn be encouraged in all reasonable
way. We have no sympathy whatever with
the schemes of those who wish to have the
race leave the United States for foreign coun-
tries. We shall remain here and fight out
our destiny in the land Of our fathers.
Z. We favor both higher and Industrial edu-
cation and we are grateful at the splendid
growth of the love OF education manifested
by the eagerness with which our people fill
az avenues OF education open to them.
g.. We are gratified at the development OF
business enterprises of all sorts among US
and we wish to encourage all such as being
among the strongest levers in the uplift Of the
race. We submit OUT cause to the fair-mind-
large. and invoke divine interposition in ou1
behalf.
The Appeal., 1899-06-24

One Of the things we cannot under
stand is, why the managers of big con-
Germs like the packing houses of Chi
cago and the coal mines of Illinois do
not regularly employ Afro-Americans.
They are constantly having strikes
among their white employees and then
they hunt up some Afro-Americans to
take their places. This invariably en-
genders bad feeling and the poor Afro
Americans are the principal sufferers
every time. There are seldom if ever
any strikes among Afro-American
workmen, and if they were regularly
employed just as white men are and
the employers have the backbone to
simply discharge those who do not
wish to work with them then would
be fewer strikes. If these men are al
ways sought to help out when trouble
comes they certainly ought to be CIV
en- show when peace reigns. .- -.

MIRABLE DICTU!

We supposed old Judge Taney turn
ed over in hell and uttered louder
groans than ever before, when the
devil told him of the action of that jury
in Memphis, Tenn, the other day,
whereby a white man named Green
berry Redditt, man of wealth and
social influence, was convicted of kill
ing Maggie Hobbs, a black woman, we
presume, as she is designated as a
'negress.''
The defense claimed that the woman
was advancing on Redditt with brick
in her hand, and the latter, believing
that his life was in danger, fired the
fatal shot. The jury, which was COM
posed entirely of white citizens, re-
turned verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree and Redditt was Civ
en- ten years in the penitentiary.
OF course, Redditt has not gone to
the penitentiary, and never will go, as
there is always a loop hole for the es-
cape Of white person under such cir
cumstances, but it is surprising that a
jury of white men could be found who
had regard enough for their oaths to
