RACE RIOTS AND THE FUTURE.

The most recent race riot in the
State of Georgia gives rise to a thought
upon a new phase of the law and Or
der problem. The Colored American
has frequently deplored the trend of
Negro migration toward the cities. but
found reason fur ii III Ihe absence of
protection II the rural districts, either
as to life, liberty or property. In the
pOpulOus eenters the policing, while by
no means perfect is capable of guard
ing prisoners and preserving sem
blanee of order. The Negro, OF late.
has been choosing what he regards as
the safest horn of the dilemma by mov-
ing to the cities.
In the country it Is different Ne
groes are arrested for the most trivial
offenses They are placed in insecure
Jails, in charge of officials prejudiced
against their race. The mob spirit,
ever rampant where the law is weak,
takes possession of the people, and the
Negro is lynehed-perhaps burned at
the stake. There is no redress. The
public conscience is not stirred, and
the horrible episode is repeated day
by day, without more than a passing
rebuke from some far-sway newspaper
that neither the cracker" nor the Ne
gro ever sees
WhaT Is the logical outcome?
The Negro has come to regard the
officers of the law-not as his friend,
10 uphold and protect him in his rights
but as his natural enemy. When
brought TO book for an ofense, he re-
fuses to 60 to the Jail that may prove
his tomb. He resists, preferring to die
like a man. as his case is hopeless
anyway. The result is a conflict, in
which blood is shed upon both sides.
The papers record another race rint,
and the masses are again worked up to
the point where every Negro within
reach is likely to be victim of the
mob's frenzy
Where will this end? Is the law
prepared to confess Instability to cope
with the deplorable situation?
The eivilised elements of all the
states in which race riots occur owe it

A MISLEADING EDITORIAL.

We are hearing some remarkable
things nowadays. Much of it is about
the Negro. We are being discussed in
many suarters and ''cussed" in most of
them. One uttersnee may be referred
to with profit 1t may set the philosO'
pliers to thinking. Brief mention will
suffice.
The New York Journal, in a long
editorial, concludes that the chief
trouble with the Negro is that there is
no rebellion in him, that he lacks the
vital force of dissatisfaction, and when
dissatisfied he is never dissatisfied in
telligentIy. Further the Negro is
blamed for not restraining his natural
impulses.-his primitive instincts, of
course. tending 30 savagery. The in
correct impression is given, toe, that
Mr.. Washington is favorable to the
development of an American aristOc-
racy, and that he ig content that the
Negro shall be permanently a race of
servants
A more misleading editorial was
never peuned. It's writer should travel.
The slums of New York do not pro-
duce the true Negro type, and the
view of the race CLEANED from the class
that Bohemian newspaper man ia apt
to meet In cheap restaurants and ho-
tel lobbies, is manlfestly incorrect. A
race new to freedom, new to indepen'
dent action. is bound to have It's faults
and will make mistakes. Yet, when
our tax duplicates are searched, when
our best homes are inspected, when
our schools and colleges are examined,
and when our leading men and wom-
en- are conversed with, is there dis
closed primitive state" that Will not
compare favorably with the results
achieved by any other people on earth
in the same period?
