Hopeful Position of the Negre

IF it can be shown that Southern
States are proposing to do their
best in good faith, as we know that
some Of them are. to provide free
schools for negro children as well
as for white children, and If ne
groes, as we'll as whites, have tar
Chance to earn money and save it,
to buy and hold property, and to
take part freely in the industrial
And economic life, then it ought to
be plain that the negroes future is
in his own hands, and that his re-
turn to the polls and to Office hold
ing can safely be left to time. At
this very moment, in spite of the
alarm expressed in certain Northern
newspapers, the conditions sur
Founding the Southern negro are
the most promising and hopeful of
any that he has ever known. Wh"n
Secretary Root in his speech be-
fore the Union League Club of
New York last mouth remarked
that negro suffrage iii the South
had been failure. he was not nee
essarily passing adverse criticism
upon either race. He was merely
reciting a fact in the history of our
own times, than which no other
fact could we'll be. more obvious.
But with a new and careful start
ON the basis of education, property,
and good citizenship, there is no
reason why negro suffrage should
not gradually come to be success
full and useful from the standpoint
of both races. This one thing
ought to be plain: if negro suffrage
is not, in so far as it goes, for the
good of the white citizens of the
South, it car never lie good for the
negroes themselves. In other
words, the political privileges Of
citizenship, if exercised wisely,
must be for the good of the whole
community; while if exercised un-
wisely, they cannot be for the good
Of any element whatsoever. Any
body in the North whose mind is
disturbed by the Southern ee:idi-
tions, and who would like to Help
make them better. could be sure Of
aiding both races and receiving the
thanks of both by contributing to
the funds for current use at the
disposal Of such a body as the Gen
eral Education Board From 1.-THE
Progress of the World" in the
American Monthly Review of Re-
Riews for March.

This leads them to commit another
horrible offense, known as lynching.
AS offenses, they both belong to the

least apt to hear of them. The refined
portion of the community that is
shocked by the atrocity of lynching
hear OF them in every sickening detail.
But those persons who are most likely
to commit such a crime are the ones
who are least likely to hear of the
lynching. Even if they do, still the
horrible consequences of such a deed
do not keep them back from commit
ting the same thing.
Low, brutal, people, who do such
things are temporarily insane. 1t is
not at all likely that the moment be-
fore the commission of the crime they
han the slightest idea of ever being
guiEy OF such an offense. But the op,
portunity presents itself The fury of
the beast is in his blood Unframed
passions temporarily convert him into
maniac. Emotional insanity nerves
him up to the details of his inhuman
deed The moment after, he becomes a
trembling, cowardly fugitive, scarcely
more conscious of the moral hideous,
ness of the crime he has committed
than a wild beats.
He ought to be punished He ought
to be safely Gagged, where society shall
not again take the risk of his liberty
the risk Of such liability. But to lynch
him in the spirit of ferocity, to tear
him limb from limb, in a paroxysm OF
animal passion, is not only to degrade
themselves but also to infect large
number of men and boys, women and
girls, who temporarily become savages
like the criminal they are furnishing.
All this is very bad; very unneces
sary; and makes thoughtful citizens
almost ashamed of their country. -
