PHIA.
At a meeting held In Philadeiphia
recently. the object being 20 consider
the condition Of the eo.eos negroes In
that city, IL was declared that what
has been done for the intellectual.
moral and industrial training of the
negroes has 81 done by the
south" mainly where he masses" Of
the negroes are to be found. II was
forgotten that the same people are
here in h north. and. while less nu-
merous, are in many respects more
needy than their southern brethren
because OF the popularity embracing
difficulties in their way" It was stat
ed also that nine out Of ten of the ne
groes In the south, had come there
since the rebellion. the latter remark
revealing the spite and iIl-manners OF
the spouters- In ten years ii was
stated 5000 had come to Philadelphia
alone. and this number is being con-
stantly recruited. The south wish the
Philadeiphians much joy in these ac-
cessions- May the great city have its
right to be called the city of brother
ly love" in dealing with the negroes.
What the negroes do to keep from
starving Is not revealed. 1t has been
published heretofore that they were
shut out from the various callings to a
great degree. and that the white folks
in the Penn city do not practice misceg-
enation- to any great extent-a spor-
adic case only occurring at intervals
or open the fine houses and churches
to the brethren in black" How is IL
that social equality is so shut out as
" to the more honored in the breach
than in the observance" Let the
whites rally strong and take care of
the INDECENT poor at their doors. The
Columbia Is. c. State says after quot
ing from one of the speakers:
1T is quite worth noting that at
the lime this was published, a party
of northern educators and philanthro-
plsts were travelling over the south in
vestigating the work being done here
for the colered people and that their
conclusion has beer that the only real
help given the negro, except money
contributed by others, is being given
by southern white people-who are and
have always been the negro's best
friend"
1t has been iterated and reiterated
in the Messenger, times without num-
Der, that the only white people on the
globe who understand the negroes are
the southern whites. and that the beet,
surest friends they have in all the
world are the white people among
whom they were born and reared.

It seems that the great steel corpora
tion is not opposed to labor corpora
tions after all, as our friends the
Bryanistic organs, would have the
public believe, but the corporation
simply wishes them to incorporate. so
that there will be something tangible.
OF course this would place them in
position where they would be respon-
sible for contracts made, and could be
brought into the courts and have them
enforced which cannot be done now.
In short it would place them on the
same legal standing as all other cor.
porations now are, Of course this
would have tendency to prevent a
narrow guage man like Shaffer from
unceremoniously breaking agreements
and contracts, but in this both the
public and labor would be greatly
benefited. But then coming from a
capitalistic source the suggestion must
surely be another brutal scheme to op-
press labor, and we shall drop into a
listening attitude for the great roar
that Frank Day and other Bryanites
will send up.
