Bishop Turner, of Atlanta,
made a strong speech in that city
on the 18th, ult. on the separation
of the races.
1t was the most logical dis
course, from the negro stand
point, in favor of the separation
of the races, that we have seen.
He says that the negroes and
whites in the South are further
apart in sympathy and spirit
than heaven and hell, and that if
this government will put a
steamer between here and
Africa, and make the rates of
travel as cheap as white immi-
grants get from Europe to
America, that 100000 will leave
as soon as they can adjust their
little affairs. He said that the
negroes very existence will u1ti-
matelY depend on a separation.
The negroes of America, he
claims, sprang from the slaves of
africa, rather than from the bet
ter races, and the superior Afri-
can sold the inferior African to
the white man, and that the
American negroes were in slav-
cry for hundreds and thousands
of years to African masters be-
fore being sold to the American
white man.
The speech was interesting
throughout, as given in the At
lanta Constitution, and, from the
negroes standpoint, was honest
and patriotic. We believe
Bishop Turner is the greatest
patriot of his race. -Corde1e SEN

Mr.. Bryan is sound on the race
question, at least. In a most
sensible article in the last issue
OF his paper he hits the key note
in the following language: The
question which the white people
OF the south have to meet is
whether the white race, with it's
more advanced civilization and its
higher ideals, shall permit its
progress to be turned backward
by the dominance of the black
race. Thisis the question which
the north has never had to con-
template.
