The same Is true of Cuba. In time

there, too, he rapidly made his way
to the front. His Republicanism was
a part OF his faith. Before his wit and
his argument his opponent was apt to
withor into insignihcance. lie feared
no man. and his Wide information on
all subjects made men wary OF cross
ing controversarial lances with him.
The courage OF the man was shown
when one night he returned from Dover

disgraceful scenes IN our history. He

A HELPlNo HANo.

The editor Of the Jeffersonian having
taken part IN the Maryland campaign.
has returned with the cry OF "nigser"
on his lips. But the great question
confronting our people will not be
settled by ranters. We are willing TO
admit that there are men who love the
negro FOR his vote. and who damn him
on other occasions. Then there are
politicians who raise howl against
Niger domination to arouse the preiu-
dlces OF the ignorant white men in
order to win votes on the other side.
Both elements are disturbing factors
which delay the settlement OF the
question.
We do not believe IN robbing birds
nests; we do not believe IN tleing cans
TO dogs tail to make him run. and
It gives us no pleasure TO stick pins
through flies TO see them squirm. Con-
sequently We cannot understand that
spirit which beholds a black man and
hates him; that would keep him in
bondage and deny him the rights and
privileges guaranteed by our institu-
tlons. For the criminals OF that race
we would mete ont punishment certain
and severe, but to the colorcd man who
is trying by industry, sobrlety and
thrift to raise himself we would ex-
tend helping hnnd and a word OF en-
couragement and I'VE should loathe
