negro will redeem the honor and safety
of their land.
The free negro often becomes a
brutal beast, more dangerous in a
community than a wild bull. The
Southern people are often thrown into
state of hysteria by constantly re-
curing evidences of his savage degen-
eracy. | contend that the negro re-
quires, for his own sake as well as
that of society, moral aud legal re-
straint He was a safer man when he
was a slave than he is as citizen. A
new system of voluntary and penal
servitude should be instituted, both
for his protection and development
and that Of the nation. A section Of
country should be set apart to which
all negroes would be permitted TO vol
UNFAIRLY migrate, and there yield them
selves as slaves to such persons as
would agree to possess them and give
them humane treatment and educa-
tion. II such an invitation were today
extended to the negroes of the South
! venture - say that hundreds of them
would gratefully accept.
Mr.. Frank is both right and wrong
in what he has to say. When he
pictures the superior condition of the
negro race under the old rule, bring
pg him under wholesome discipline
and advancement, he only repeats
what the people of the south said be-
fore war took the matter in hand.
The men of Anglo-Saxon mold who
had for two centuries studied out this
problem, presented the facts with all
the eloquence possible, but fanaticism
was on a rampage and would not
listen to reason. Fanaticism has done
its work, and now awakens to the re-
suit in the presence of danger
in the body polite, which may always
be called upon by social wreckers' and
which will never add feathers
weight to the elevation of the coun-
try.
But ~hen the speaker intimates q
return in any shape TO slavery be is
wrong. The southern white man,
freed of the incubus, will neither re-
sumo the relationship of master him
self nor permit others to do so. The
negro is free man forever to remain
so, and he can never be returned as a
charge to those who do not want him.
But the white men of the south can be
trusted to give him the most intelligent
direction possible.

sLAHERY or TIE NEGRO.

That the call for the disfranchise.
ment of the negro, made from the far
north should be followed by a demand
for his reinstatement from the same
section is only another evidence Of the
political deviousness Of the same sec
tion. NewYork City has a clergyman,
Rev. Henry Frank, pastor OF the Met
ropolitan church, who leads in the
crusade. In his sermon Sunday, Mr.,
Frank went on to say:
THE most deplorable social situa-
tion which a civilized and INTEL gent
people have ever deliberatly brought
upon themselves is witnessed today in
the relation of the southern negro to
his environment. Judging by the
history of the negro for over four
thousand years, we are forced to as
sert that the most fortunate circum-
stances that ever befell him was his
enslavement on American soil, and the
consequent moral discipline il be-
slowed upon him.
II am keenly aware that such
statement, made thirty years after the
disenthrallment of the negro, and de-
livered on a northern platform before

extinction since his enfranchisement,

people TO conclude that the freeing OF
the negro has proved a disastrous
failure. Every thinking man must
tbeliete that the franchise must be re-

mean negro domination. The white

by the afternoon train, and then can

the editorial fraternity Of the terri

COUNCIL SHOULD 4DOPT IT.

The Withers' sewerage proposition,
which calls for only a nominal fran
chise and gives the city power to pur-
chase at the end of one year at the ap-
praised value of the plant, is fair, just
and honest, and should be adopted by
the city council. Calling special cleo
tions to vote sewerage bonds, means a
great outlay of money, while the
Withers' proposition prec'udes the
possi bility of any useless municipal
expenditures. The councilmen who
oppose the Withers' franchise force
the people to believe they are the
tools of large property owners, who
fight the proposition because its regu.
lations will force them to pay their
just share for the drainage of city
property.
