THE NEGRO AS FOOD.


ht ~ u IhC.
DRY to n Logical Conclusion.
To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The book. written by w. H. Bellies. re-
ferred to in a dispatch from Coyington.
Ind, published in this mornings Journal.
suggests a legitimate and commendably
unitarian solution of the negro question.
Why not make him an article of food? If
he is. according to the Bible, no more than
a beast. then, according to the Bible. he
is a proper article of food. From the logic
of this there is no escape. Gods covenant
with Noah gave him every living crea-
ture' for food. If that makes a wider
sweep than is here required, it but makes
a by so much stronger case for this use
of the negro. But the word beasts"
which occurs in the relation several verses
before the phrase above quoted. may
doubtless fairly be connected with it, thus
restricting Noah's license to use all "liv-
ing creatures for food to living beasts"
The later restricting of the Jews to the
use as food of beasts with split hoofs
which chewed the cud can, as far as il
affects II at all, only further sustain this
proposition, as the negro's hoof can GER
tainly be regarded as very effectually split.
while. If not universally, he is, as every
BODY knows. very generally addicted TO
chewing the cud.
This is a very advanced view. to be sure.
1t may give many persons a kind of shock,
but various doctrines quite as horrible are
to-day tenaciously retained in several Of
the creeds, ostensibly upon the authority
OF the Bible. And as to this. now, is the
consequent really any worse than the an
tecedent? Yet this antecedent "anti-ne-
gro societies are preparing to push. while
there are people In our own city-and il is
no mean city, we were lately told. and oft
en- enough tell ourselves-who are ready
TO maintain that the negro is no more than
a beast. Why should such shrink from the
corollary-except as a matter of taste
which custom must correct? And i'm our
own South. where the negro was formerly
used for breeding purposes quite as the
cattle were. and Is now almost daily
roasted and then wasted. il should be but
a short step TO the more advanced eco
nomic practice made logically necessary
by Mr.. Belles's proposition. The anti
negro" societies of Chicago and other
large cities" should be consistent in their
application of biblical principles, or they
may become ridiculous. O.. w. SEARS

New Powerful Guns.

Without any fuss or ertisement
some of the most powerful guns of the
time are being prepared for the British
navy. The gun in question. is the new
90 inch, which is to be carried by the
armored cruisers now being built A
feature of the gun is that. it is placed
on a hydraulic mounting, this in itself
being a big advance upon older meth
DDS. A big steel hood also inckDses the
guns crew, who work in an impenetra-
BILE shell of armor. When mounted in
the Cressy, for which the gun is in
tended, no part below the bottom of the
hood will be seen above deck. This
hood is six inches thick in front and
four inches thick in the rear. Admis-
sion to it's interior is obtained through
a narrow door which closes an aperture
just wide enough for man TO squeeze
through. The hood weighs about 30
tons, the gun and mountings some 100
tons more. The gun is 81 feet long,
has range of 10 miles and twill also be
used in coast defense.
