CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting upon the recent speech of
President Pope Brown of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society, in which he
said that the white man and the negro
had arrived at the parting of the ways,
the Chicago Chronicle Qnd) observes:
Dixie land is the home of the negro,
whether his ancestors originally came
from Senegambia or Sierre Leone. he
was born there and whether he moves
northward or emigrates to Africa il Will
always be home to him. He cannot be
blamed for his presence in this country
and he cannot be driven away because he
is not wanted here. If he is unfit to enjoy
the franchise it may be taken from him
and kept from him until he is fit But he
can't be driven into the wilds of Africa
because his skin Is black. The coored
man viii solve the negro question himself
If given the time and opportunities. and
it is so much waste of breath TO talk of
planting him In his ancestral home or
in any other country, for he won't go
and would not thrive if he were placed
there"
