SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IA, 1903.

Governor J. NJ. Terrill, of Georgia,
at the annual banquet of the Geor-
gia Society of New York, last week,
made an eloquent speech; a very elo-
guent speech. 1t was very pleasing,
in some parts, to read; and, being the
son OF a highly honored Georgian, we
enjoyed certain portions. But there
was one part we did not enjoy, as fol-
lows:
withholding nothing from any in
feTior race that may be, or that may
hereafter come amongst our people, in
the way OF all the essentials of life
liberty and property, and full need
of Justice in all matters relating to
their we'll being, we should educate our
children in the great central thought,
that the best and most enduring Amer
iCa-iSD1 is founded upon the unyield-
ing rock OF Caucasianism. The best
way to add to our country's strength
is to inculcate lofty ideas of superior
ity, just as the surest way to encOm-
pass our land in doubt, and strife, and
gloom. is to encourage low ideas of
equality. No more fatal blunder can
be made by any state or section than
to attempt interference with the peace
and progress of it's neighbors, or by
ihat species of philanthropy which
mistakes amelioration for elevation.
The standard of greatness will always
crumble when it's votaries attempt to
carry it into the lowly planes that
were designed and set apart, by nat
ural law, for an inferior civilization"
We did not enjoy this much on &C.
count of the utter falsity of the state.
ment that nothing is withheld from
<sany inferior race" We cannot I'M
derstand how a man of Gov. Terrill's>
Intelligence can f1atter himself into
the belief that he speaks the truth
in making such statement. We have
before us at this time a letter pub
lshed in the Atlanta Constitution,
over the signature of native of
Georgia whose word on this subject
is worthy of as much consideration
as Gov. Terrill's, and he says in sub

fore the Union League Club of New
York to mean that the Northern peo-
pie acuuiesce in the Southern propa-
ganda of a. state of serfdom for the
Afro-Americans of that section, but
careful reading ought to convince any
fair-minded man that no such mean

simply stated the case as it really ex-
lists. He did not say that the people
Of the North are satisfied and they

Advance sheets of the annual report
of the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton are in press. Regarding the edu-
cation of the Afro-Americans, the re-
port will say:
1.-THE estimated number of children
in the South between five and eighteen
years of age for the scholastic year
l9OO-19O1 was S,698,888. Of this num-
Der 1894 65, or 68.57 per cent, were
Caucasian and 2,734,223, or 31.43 per
cent were Afro-Americans. The en-
rollmen In the white public schools
was 4,268,S77, or 71.57 per cent of the
Caucasian school population, while the
enrolment in the Afro-American pub
lie schools was 1,564,526, or 57.22 per
cent of the Afro-American school pop
ulation. The average daily attendance
in the white schools was 2,812,75 or
$3.50 per cent of the Caucasian enroll
ment, and the average daily attend
ance in the Afro-American schools
was 977,192, or 62.46 per cent OF the
Afro American enrolment.
This does not show very bad for the
Afro-Americans who are the working
class and in many instances very

! THE PHILOSOPHY OF DESPAIR. .
The Philosophy of Despair. BY David
Starr Jordan. 75c. San Francisco. Ed
er Il Shepherd.
f. The PHILOSOPHY of Despair, by David
! Starr Jordan is one Of the very interest
ing and, notable books of the year. In
reading it's pages. one thinks Of the grace
and flow of Ruskin not simply because OF
the style but because it possesses all the
depth and lucidity of Ruskin.
ITO the pessimistic philosopher the
progress Of the race is a mere illusion.
Every creature must fit itself to its envi
ronment or pass away. The beast fits the
forest for the same reason that the river
| fits it's bed. Life is only possible under
the rare conditions in which life is not
| destroyed.
In this volume the learned author says
many novel things in a manner so entire
ly novel as to almost convince one that
! there is something new under the sun;
1t is essentially volume which appears
to the masses. The simplicity OF style
and freedom from literary convention puts
. the book within the reach of all under
standings.
