l--,f,nsc''The Wife Of his Youth

No writer on kindred topics has made Il
greater impression on the discriminating
public than has Mr.. Chestnut. In his
stories Mr.. Chestnut not only manages to
disclose the underlying facts and inev-
liable conditions of the race situation, but
in so doing he felicitously presents the
Negro character in stories, the literary
merit of which is far above the average
and not one of all the writer's upon 1.-The
color line has a truer sense of. the pic
turesquc and illustrative, or a greater
charm of manner. They (the stOries) pos
sess a very great and peculiar charm, and
are full of careful studies from life, and to
read and understand them is to know
matter involved in the race issue, the set
Ting of which will require almost limit

Now the Afro American understands that
question much better than the average
white man. He has no desire to force
himself socially where he is not wanted,
but he does claim the right to equal ac-
commodation in all places of public amuse-
ment and convenience and on common car
ricrS. There is IL great difference be-
tween social and civil rights. The very
lowest possible specimen of the Caucasian
race would be admitted, say to any theatcr
in the United States and given a seat next
to the very noblcst example of that race,
yet no one would for Il moment contend
that they are social equals. All the Afro
Americans asks is justice in civil rights;
social equality will take care of itself.

The recent deaths of number of old
time abolitiOnists have signalized the fact
that nearly all have passed away. John
Rycraft died in Milwaukee, Calvin Dc
Wolf, pioneer lawyer of Chicago and
secretary of the first antisavery society in
the West, died recently in Chicago. His
home was Il shelter for fugitivcs escaping
from slavery and he was chief manager
of the Chicago end of the underground
railroad. Rev Samuel May, another aboli-
ton leader, died last month in Massa-
chusctts. These people were the uncom-
promising foes of slavery. They were
courageous and Jealous in their efforts to
overthrow that hydra headed monster and
they were successful. Their work has been
done and they are passing away.

1t was principally due to the efforts of
Bishop Arnctt, the resolution which Henry
G. Payne of Wisconsin, proposed to intro
ducc at the recent meeting of the Rcpubli-
can National Committee. to restrict the
representation of the South to one delegate
for each 10000 Republican votes cast, in
stead of Congressional representation,
which has been the rule ever since the
formation of the Republican party, was
defeated. 1t really meant the disfran-
chiscment of the americans in the
National Conventions. Bishop Arnett had
the assistance OF President Mckinley and
Chairman Hanna and by hard work Payne
was induced not to Introduce the resOlu
ton.

SATURDAY JANUARY, 6, 1900.

The Chicago Chronicle of recent date has
an excellent article on the race problem,
that is it is excellent down to a certain
point. when our contemporary falls into
the error of the majority of whites when
writing about the race problem, of con-
fusng civil with social rights Among
othrr things the Chronicle says: There is
Il coed deal of nonsense talked about the
ace problem. There is no race problem
at least none that is not in process of So
luton. One or two things the negro has to
learn He must learn, first, that social
equality, which never has been and never
can be enforced among the whites them
selves. cannot be enforced by the negroes
as against the whites. People, whether
white Co. black, will choose their own COM
pany despite all the civil rights laws that
can h PASSED.
