SAT URDAY MAY 20, 1899,

We have heard considerable gush
about the united North and South,
since McKinley's visit to the South
some time ago, when he allowed his
breast to be desecrated with Confed-
crate badge. There may be united
North and South, there seems to be,
so far as the Afro-American is con-
cerned, that is, the whites of the North
and the whites of the South are united
in dealing out insult, outrage, injus-

.lcks. But if anybody believes that
the old rebel spirit has become extinct
he is sadly mistaken. Last week Gen.
Joseph Wheeler was purposely kept
out of the big parade in Charleston, s.
c., at the Confederate veterans con-
vention on account of his recent war
record and the man who did 1t, Gen.

In the present condition Of the race, which
is abnormally disturbed in one section Of the
country and comparatively composed in tho
sion that we cannot arrive at the desired ends
wholly through any one method. There are
certain an f sntp which those q US who live
other things which those of us who live in the
North can accomplish. We may take differ
ent methods to reach the same ends, but the
results will be for the common advantage.
In the North the work Of agitation, of pro.
test and petition and of political conduct is
essential to the cause. The Northern and
Western mind needs to be constantly agitated
upon our grievances and accurately informed

ment can best be determined and carried on
by the wise men OF US in the Southern states
who have done so much since the War Of the
Rebellion to pave the way for our future
status as men and citizens in all the walks of
life. We think that it Is important that this
view Of the matter should not be lcxs sight of
for moment tF
and Interpretation or the Intentions Of all
members of the race who have capacity and
problty. and who are working for the general
good. The vast extent Of our country and the
multiplicity OF interests and the local preju-
dices Of any sort, outgrowing from phenom-
email ethnic differentiations, which must have
proper time for inevitable assimilation, makes
imperative broad liberation among US of
wide difference of opinion as to the best ways
and means to secure the best results in given
localities, which must determine the final
result for veal or woe.
So much Of a general character may be &C
cepted without sacrificing one principle Of
manhood or citizen right, for that would be
repugnant to our sense of absolute Justice,
to which We adhere without deviation or
quibble.| \
As fair statement Of our convictions we
affirm it that there is no manhood or citizen
right guaranteed to us by the federal consti-
t.tion which we do not claim and denial Of
which by state constitutions against which We
do not protest
Passing from abstract statement Of senti-
ment to concrete statement of fact, we have
to congratulate ourselves that the race has
everywhere grown stronger and stronger in
all the elements of Christian morality of
thrift and of intelligence. There is no con-
tention here. Friends and foes alike admit
it. Those who predicted that we should starve
