WILL THE NEGRO BECOME Elk
TINCT?

1t appears that something of d sem
sation was caused at Muscatine, Iowa,
by lecture delivered by Rev. J. L.
Murphy, of the English Lutheran
Church, in which he declared that the
negro race in this country is rapidly
deteriorating, and will later relapse
into barbarism and become extinct. IF
such lecture had come from a
Southern man it would have aroused
in the North whirlwind of adverse
criticism, but the truth is the people
of the South have a much better
opinion of the negro and are more
optimistic regarding his future than
the Muscatine preacher. He, how
ever, was we'll within the mark when
he said that there had been great
change in the conduct of the negroes
towards their white neighbors III the
South; that they were growing less
friendly and that racial friction is
increasing at a pace SO rapid as to
bode i'll for the negro. No one will
dispute the fact, or the assertion that
the negro has become more suspectable
to disease than few years ago, espec-
tally pulmonary troubles, but very
few persons will agree with him when
he says 'fthe progressive class Of ne
groes will tire Of the conditions exist
ing i'll this country and return to
their ancestral home in Africa and
that those4left behind will speedily
become extinct. There are no condi-
tions existing in this country, and
none are likely to exist, to tempt the
return of our negroes to Africa. They
know little about Africa and care
less, but know that this country is
their home and do not want any
other. In commenting on the remarks
of the Rev. DIR. Murphy the Charles
ton News and Courier says:
so far as we have been able to
observe there has been no diminution
in the number of negroes, and the
last census reports do not appear to
warrant the conclusions reached by
the English minister We have be-
lieved for years that the only solu-
tion of the negro problem is to be
found in the deportation of the race
from this country. He can never be
anything more here than newer Of
wood or drawer of water. To be
perfectly frank, be is not fit for any
thing else. We do not mean that
there are not many intelligent and
worthy men among them, but we
speak of the race as a whole; and
even if they were fitted to rule, the
white people would be unworthy of
themselves and untrue to their race
if they should permit negro dom
nation -
Deportation, in our humble judg-
ment, is not only very expensive but
impracticable scheme for solving the
race problem, and we are rather sur
prised that our esteemed Charleston
contemporary considers it seriously.
However, this has nothing to do with
the question regarding the fnality of
the negro race in this country. We
agree with the News and Courier
that there is no evidence that the ne
groes are lapsing into. barbarism,
but, on the contrary, that they are
growing gradually more intelligent
and progressive. This is the result of
their living among white people,
whose good will it be we'll for them
to cultivate at all times. IN. O.
