Mules i'm Battles.

Apropos of the way the mules
acted at Ladysmith, the Hartford
Courant says that con the eye Of
the battle of Lookout Mountain, in
the civil war, stampsdag Union
mule broke up Confederate camp,
the soldiers fleeing for dear life un-
der the impression that body Of
cavalry was upon them. Unfortun-
ately for the Federal side, the
charge of the mules was not well
supported. And then Blanco's re-
port of one of our bombarments in
Cuba last year gave the casualties
as 'one mule killed."

THE Indianapolis Freeman offers the
following sound advice to Negroes:
Education, responsibility and worth
are the shibboleth; politics incidental
ly. Politics is not a god to be wor-
shipped above everything else. More
downright good accTues to the race from
other sources. Secure education, finan-
cial competency, ultra respectability
and as by magic these long endured civ
il and political hardships will go glim-
mering.
Negroes are beginning to learn that
to get on in the world they must pay
more attention to those things that make
men felt in the community in which
they live. Those things are wealth, ed
ucation, and agreeableness. The Ne
gro's primary needs are too many to al
low of waste of time.
Paul Quinn weekly., 1900-01-27
Our Leaders Should Make Per-
sOnaI Sacrifice.

We have pointed out in these columns
before that the Negroes who put them
selves forward as leaders must make
some personal sacrifices for the race
sacrifice that is not the best investment
for a livelihood. If one person sees
that another takes little interest in those
things that make the latter successful
farmer, merchant, ETC., the former looks
on with suspicion. The same is true
with respect to the races. The time
has not come when merchant is a
merchant, white or black, but circum-
stantially there are white merchants and
black merchants.
Negro ministers and teachers who
lead Negroes to attend Negro churches
and schools ought to show the same zeal
in leading celcred people to patronize
Negro business enterprises. AS it is, it
appears that Negro churches and
schools exist as such because they must
not because the Negro prefers them
Negroes patronize business enterprises
run by white men, not because they
must, but because they prefer to do so,
or at least because they have some sort
of excuse to do so. The white man.,
though willing enough to accept the
Negroes patronage, understands this in
consistency fully. He sees that the Ne
gro does not like to be a Negro. He
does not blame the Negro much, for
most any Que would rather be somebody
else than be a Negro. However, the
Negro would be far less pitiable and
blameworthy if he would show wilful
independence instead of Independent ce
unwillingly. God will continue to pun
ish the race so long as it continues to
show disintegrating tendencies. 1t is
bad enough, indeed, that there is such a
thing as race pride, just as it is that
there is lack of universal justice, but
since men will not settle their differences
on the broad principles of the brother
hood of man, we must adopt these
methods that work best. The Negro
will never amount to much till he shows
to the world by actual-not theoretical
race love that man is a man for "a
that. Our race leaders should take the
iniatiative and lead the race out of the
wilderness.
Paul Quinn weekly., 1900-01-27

The Dallas Item agrees with us, that
Negroes should sacrifice something for
the race. 1t should be remembered that
teachers, preachers, politicians, etc., SO
long as they make more out of their
professions or callings than they could
out OF some other profession or calling,
can no longer pose as martyrs for the
race. The Negro who goes to the in
convenience and expense of supporting
race enterprises and Negro professions
is the man who is doing more for the
race than any others are.
