the Negro should Insist upon his pollt-
ical rights as the quickest way to COM
mand the respect of the world and to
reach his rlghtful position.
Mrs. Roca NJ. Bass, graduate OF
Atlanta University. is a prolific writer
Of stories Of chIld.life in the south. Her
husband is the chief clerk in the post
office at Atlanta, and has held his posi-
tion during the recent race disturbances
without any adverse demonstration.
Another prominent member of the
race mentioned in this connection Is
Miss Jackson, an artist in Detroit, who
is d writer on art subjects for maya
zines, and has a well-recognIzed stand
ing in her profession. Prof. Scarboro,
Of Wilberforce University, at Xenln, o.
is the author Of a volume on Greek
roots and idloms. He has written many
other things and edited some school
books. Mrs. Cooper, teacher in
Washington. is the author OF several
volumes of stories. and has also writ
ten on economic subjects. She is one
of the most fruitful and popular OF the
writer's OF her race. John Stephens
Durham has been United States Minis
ter to Haiti, and Is author Of a striking
article in the Atlantic Monthly Of Feb.
runry, 1898, upon LABOR UNIONS anu
the Negro" showing how labor COM
bInes against the black, and how ability
to work on the part Of the black man
does not carry nearly so good an opper-
tunity as equal ability on the part Of
the white.
These names are given ofrhand in
conversation, and, Of course. cannot
represent adequately what the Negro
race is doing in literature and science.
But the fact that such excellent work
as is produced by some Of these Negro
authors has been given to the world in
the course of comparatively a few
years after emerging from slavery, is
Of the utmost consequence in the pres
ent tendency to deprive the Negroes Of
their rights. especially In the south,
and proves that the education which is
said to be the cause Of the race friction
is raising up the blacks faster than the
whites raised themselves centuries ago.
Making due allowance for the initiative
faculty, as distinguished from the orig
NATIVE, the Negro race is held by its
white friends here to-day to have
abundantly proved its capacity and 1t
is not questioned that It will continue
to make It's way upward.
