Lest We Forget.

1t, however, is to be regretted that
the dominant race of this country
should so far forget the high state Of
civilization that it has attained to the
extent of even desiring to overlook
as heroic an act as that performed by
James B. Parker at the Buffalo expO-
sltlon when he rushed to the rescue
of the president of the United States.
William Mckinley, as a thing Of
minor Importance and unworthy of
the nation taking official cognizance
OF, simply because the man who did
the deed had a black face instead of
white one. 1t is the duty OF any
nation, and especially a nation with
such cultured citizens as those of the
United States, to bear well in mind
three essential qualities in her citi-
zenship: patriotism, heroism and
bravery. The true patriot, the noble
hero and the brave man in national
emergencies should never be over
looked or forgotten by either the high
or low officials of such country. and
that, too, regardless of the color, ma
tionality or condition of the man or
men who might have performed any
one Of such acts, and when there is
general disposition to overlook
such, then just one germ of national
decadence will have been dropped in
fertile soil and there is imminent
danger of it taking root and becom-
ing permanently fixed in the minds of
many OF the CITIZENS. Parker is a true
hero, and While The Republican does
not advocate that the American peo-
pie make wax figure of him, it does
advocate that the leading men Of this
country make some efforts to show to
the world, to Parker and to the race
to which he belongs that patriotism.
heroism and bravery, each of which
is to be found in Parker. are things
that this nation appreciates and high
ly commends, and in proof of it do
something which will stand as an
everlasting monument to James B.
Parker, his color to the contrary not
withstanding.

Deceptive Southerners.

Immediately following the catastro-
phe at Buffalo many of the Southern
cities, owing to the fact that James
B. Parker was a Southerner by birth.
made efforts to collect funds in the
Southern states for the erection of a
monument to him for the bravery he
showed on that occasion Of course
nothing serious came of the efforts
because the Southern man is too IN
swervingly prejudiced against the
race to which Parker belongs to ever
contribute anything that would hold
black man up to the world as a ma
tional hero; and again, perhaps the
Southern people did it more in a
spirit Of rival jealousy toward the
North, with the view of trying to con
vince the colOred folk of this country
that the Southern white man is more
friendly to him than the Northern
white man, than for the real merits
of the case. The latter is perhaps
u uC, buC II 10 Tie pdCiiOIIC uuLy u
both the North and the South to
never lose sight of the fact that
Parker proved himself to be a hero
at the time, and a betting monu-
ment should be erected to his mem
DRY, not so much because he was
Parker the giant Negro. but because
he served his country well. and sec
Ondarily because he represents a race
of people in this country that have
been oppressed by all classes, North.
South, East and West, more from the
fact that they are considered semi
human than for any racial misgiv-
ings. If such was done the American
people would rise above all their
shortcomings and would show to the
world that they stood ready and will
ing to honor the real hero, be his
face black or white. Perhaps Parker
has no ambition beyond being in a
place similar to the one he now holds.
where he can parade himself before
the public in loud-striped pants, and
for the sake of argument it is grant
ed, but nevertheless the fact remains
that he became a hero by defending
the nations chief executive when he
was being assaulted by a deadly for
eign devil, and that, too, without hav-
ing any knowledge Of what the future
would bring forth for him, and in dis
cussing this point Parker's weak
nesses should be completely over
looked and the motive ~of the man
pure and simple be dealt with.

The Zionist congress opened in
Basel, December 2cth, under the pres
idency Of DR.. Theodore HerzI, of vi
emma, and founder Of the Zionist
movement to Palestine. The congress
was attended by over 1000 delegates,
representing every important country
of the world with the exception of
Australia. In the course of his open
ing address DR.. Herzl referred to his
audience held with the sultan last
May, in which the sultan had ex-
pressed sympathy with the Zionist
said he considered the He
brews to be desirable colonists, and
had declared himself their friend.

they will make it point to both
enfranchise them and clothe them
with more political rights than they
even get in any of the Northern
states, because it will mean represen-
tation for the South, unless this pre-
diction falls way short Of the mark.
With such men as Booker T. Wash
ington at the head of affairs in the
South no one should feel that the
case of the Negro is a hopeless one,
for, amid the ghost-like darkness, a
ray of light can be seen, and ere the
lapsing of many more decades a
bright sun will burst forth from be-
hind the clouds of opposition that
have been imminent in the. South for
a couple Of centuries and shine out in
all his splendor on the black man as
well as the white man. and may God
hasten the day.
