TO THE CRITICS.

Our exchanges are much given to
adverse criticism of our public men.
and especially of those who have done
or are doing things. Out in California
the enthusiasm created by the recent
visit of the recognized apostle of in
dustrial education was most marked
among the whites. Their newspapers
teemed with praises of the man and
MS work. He was compared with the
great men of America, and with Tous-
saint LOuverture, Frederick Doug
lass, and other giants of the race, and
it was even asserted that he was
greater than them ALL

cational bodies throughout the land

malevolence and ingratitude of his

Among the many lessons we have
vet TO learn as a people, not the least
important is that we should cease our

THE EX-SLAVE PENSION.

We cannot too strongly urge our
people throughout the South to be-
ware of the aggitation now progress
ing over the proposition to pension
the aged ex-slaves of their section.
We have heretofore spoken plainly on
this subject, but now life has appar-
emily been given to the project by the
introduction in the United States Sen
ate by Senator Hnana, of a bill look
ing to that end. OF course, these dear
old sufferers, discrepit and we'll nigh
helpless, excite our profound sympa-
thy and if it were within the bounds
of probability, that such a measure
would succeed, we would lend our ut
most aid to the cause.
The bill cannot pass. Senator Han
ma explains that he has introduced it
by request, and declines to state that
he favors it. The leaders OF the he
publican party take no stock in 1t. 1t
is at war with every principle, which
underlies our present pension system.
It's passage would at once derange our
financial system and it's only apparent
excuse for serious discussion is the
hope of it's propOsers that some of the
hard earned dollars of the race, and
especially those whose parents would
be benefited by favorable action on
the bill, will be paid for agitation and
publicity. We do not think there is
anything in the charge, that the intro
duction CT the measure is subtle bid
for Negro votes in the next Republ1-
can National Convention. 1t is un-
necessary, for it IS as certain as the
everlasting hills, that President
Roosevelt will be nominated to sue
ceed himself. Not one dollar should
he subscribed for this hopeless enter
prise.

The resignation of Rev. J. E. Rankin
as President of Howard University,
just announced, will be received with
profound regret. His thirteen years
service to this institution has left upon
it the impress of his scholarship, his
high christian character, and his de-
votion to the development of the race.
His place will be difficult to fill, but
there is no doubt that his logical sue
cessor, indeed perhaps the best equip
ped man fer the succession is Prof.
Kelly Miller, whose brilliant career is
well known to the country. OF ripe
scholarship, of broad culture, thinker
and a forceful writer, not only on race
topics but upon every subject which
touches the economic condition of the
United States Professor Miller adds to
these elements of fitness a personal
character above reproach or suspicion,
and the factor of constant daily con-
tact with DR.. Rankin for a period of
years in the educational work of How
ard. Then too, what an object lesson
and inspiration to earnest, aspiring

steel, and consistent with his prior
magnificent deliverances. He is the
very apostle of the humanities. But
there is deeper significance in his
Chlcago speech. 1t has more author
1tative ring, and we cannot resist the
impression tha the pronouncement
was inspired by the Catholic HER
archy
The Catholic Church has always
been the Negroes friend. She has
sought his conversion, she has sent
ner pr1eStly meSSengerS-not to stand
upon holy hill and talk to the people
far below-but to go down among
them, and lead them to the higsler
spiritual life by daily contact, and by
the powerful force OF visible daily
example. Her destinies are guided by
the worlds greatest minds Her
polity reflects their consummate abil-
lty- Her ambition is to gather the
world into the ranks of her devotees
Perhaps she sees in the present
great wave of depreciation and de-
nunciat1cn of the Negro, her opportu-
nifty to proselyte him, to bring him
to her cummounion, and then to turn
upon his Instructors and enemies, and
threaten them with the terrors of her
sanctions. Does the Negro himself
see this, and will he respond to her
oVertures? Who knows whether the
race, dispirited, hopeless, staggering
on in l1fe's bitter journey, with no ray
of light Illuminating his pathway,
may not in sheer despair, cast him
self and his burdens into the arms of
the Mother Church, and plead for her
sacraments and her protection?
Suppose, for example, the great
African Methodist Episcopal Church,
with her proud history and h er mag
nificent achievements, accomplished
within the compass CT a single cen
tury, should conclude that the Nero's
truest and best buckler and shield
| against his present Inhuman treat
| ment is the Roman Catholic Church,
and should lead the mighty forces of
Methodism into the Church of Rome =?
Would not the political, not less the
religious world, stand aghast?
Yet this may come to pass. 1t may
| be the Negros necessity. perhaps his
| earthly salvation. He looks in vain
| for active sympathy or protest from
| the Protestant Churches, North or
South, and the ministers and the
| leaders of his own race are impotent
| to right his wrongs. q
Will the protestant churches permit
| this great field to be invaded and the
| harvest gathered by the Catholic
! churh? The danger is imminent.

In every field of activity, the Ne

comes a man of mark. He has not
but just now begun to aspire to excel
lence in the mimic Art, but he has
long and honorable record of success
on the stage. The great tragedian.
Ira Aldridge led the van and bril-
liant names succeed his on the roll
of honor. The race has assayed
tragedy, comedy, opera, burlesque and
vaudeville and always with crafty
Ing financial and artistic results.
At the present time the popular
taste demands the vaudeville. Pat
ronS of theatres insist that their al
tendance is for relaxation from the
grinding cares of daily lives. and
they will not respond to the entice-
ments of high tragedy or lurid melO-
drama, each with its narrowing de-
tails and fatiguing and frequently i'm.
possible situation. They must be en-
tertained, pleased and made to laugh.
Vaudeville is their outlet and our
race is supplying its full share in
answer to this demand.
