NEGHoIsM NEW FORM.

Mention was made IN these columns q
Few days back of a cause begun I'm the
Supreme Court Of the United States in
which IL was sought to enjoin the state
Of Georgia from establishing a high
school In the city Of Augusta for white
children only. The cause is presented by
negroes and their abcttors and the ground
is taken that as negroes pay taxes there
must be no schools for white children ex-
clusively unless similar schools are pro-
vided for negroes also.
We have not seen the brief i'm the case,
but we suppose the contention rests upon
that provision Of the fourteenth amend
mont to the Constitution of the United
States which forbids any State TO deny TO
any person the equal protection Of the
laws. The argument being that the
whites who get the benefit of such
school receive a protection from the laws
that the negroes who are denied admis-
sion 10 It fail 10 receive.
ANY man who undertakes 10 say be-
forehand how a court viii decide case
Is a very rash man indeed. but We feel
that we run but little risk I'm declaring
the opinion that the negroes Will lose
this case. IL the argument made for
them could be accepted and If it were
carried 10 its logical conclusion. it would
deprive a State of am control Of her reve-
nues and would carry the federal finger
into an the transactions of a States i'm
ternal policy. There could be no appro-
priation OF a States revenues that the
federal government would not have
right TO inspect and investigate TO see
that impartial justice between the races
had been done. Nay more the argument
would 90 a step further ana require the
federal government 20 examine the
transaction and see that impartial JUS
iice had been done between the individual
members OF each race 10 IS impossible
that such an argument can receive atteu-
ton. The court Will Doe compelled 10 say
that It IS far fetched construction Of
the amendment that ID can pay no atton-
tion 10. II Is a subject that must be loft
TO the judgment and discretion of the
state. and the citizen must look to his
State for such vindicat.on Of his alleged
rights as be may think himself entitled
20.
We are not prone 90 impauence in thu /
discussion OF abstract questions. but we
cannot consider this claim with that per-
feet calmness which polemics require.
Restrain ourselves as we will. but we
are compelled 10 admit that 10 is offensive
TO us. and the neero-phnlsts who are
unfolding this claim could not possibly
do the negro a greater injury than TO
have IL announced as the law of the land.
il was argued Tor the negroes 10y ex-
Senator Ejmunds OF Vermont, and that
fact points out plainly enough that It is
one OF those mischieyous interfcrences
with our social state that a certain set
Of northern abstracuonists will never
CEASE making
We hope tie Supreme Court will
promptly send this case to the lumber /
garrett Of forgotten things.
