does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, red erup-

mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored
blotches, loss of hair and eyebrows and
other symptoms of this miserable disease.
When the poison is thus fighting its way

Such is the negro when left to hlm-
self. OF course when he is brought
in contact with other races, or ANAL
gamated with them, there is some
change He has the mimetic faculty
fairly we'll developed, and he learns
to initiate the superior race with whom
he happens to be thrown. Thus 1T is
that occasionally there are negroes
who possess considerable gifts as Or
ators. There are some eminent ne
gro educators and few writer's OF
minor ability. Some Of them make
excellent performers on musical in
struments, but even in music, or
which they are excessively fond, they
have given the world no original
compositions of the least value. From
association with the whites they can
learn how to do the simpler forms OF
labor. The negro makes fairly good
carpenter. but no architect. He can
learn 10 Iei4 dllu WIlCc, bdo CttSa
ton seldom enables him to develop
his mind. AS to morals, the only thing
the negro has learned by being brought
into contact with civilization is that
it is unhealthy to be found out. He
is otherwise just as non-mOral as are
his shirtess brothers of the simmer
ing sand in Africa.
1t is evident from the history OF
the negro and from his known char
acteristicS that he is incapable OF the
grand transformation act which North
ern idealists expect Of him. He fits
into certain grooves we'll enough; but
to take him out Of those grooves is to
DO him at least a mistaken kindness,
Negro suffrage has been failure be-
cause negro civilization, negro liter
ature, negro morality and everything
else about the negro have failed. He
| is an incomplete and arrested race,

Why 1t Is a Failure

lence. We must necessarily suppose
that the development of the negro
and white proceed on different lines.
While with the latter the volume of the
brain grows with the expansion OF
the brain-pan, in the former the
growth of the brain is, on the con-
trary, arrested by the premature clos
ing of the cranial sutures and lateral
pressure of the frontal bone"
Thus ii is the evident that the ne
gro is mentally, as we'll as physically
handicapped This is a natural fact,
not creation of prejudice Or race ha-
tired. 1t furnishes, moreover, key
to the history of the negro. 1t accounts
for the fact that he is the monu-
mental failure among the nations OF
the world Take the negro, uninfiu-
enced by other races, and we find that
he has never had any form of civill-
Zation, any code of morality, any con-
ception of abstract justice, any reilg-
ion, any literature, any art or any
science. Not only is there no negro
,ystem of letters, but there is no
adaptation OF the system of any other
people. except the lonely attempt Of
a member of the Vel tribe many years
ago to construct a rude syllable sys-
tenn. Fetichism, accompanied with
sanguinary rites. is apout the only na-
live conception of religion. Slavery
has always prevailed with the negroes,
and the slave trade among them was
carried on until stopped by the gov
ernments of Europe. Cannibalism has
been practiced among them from time
mmemorial, and in very recent times
human flesh was sold in the open mar
ket in the native states OF the Congo
basin. There has never been any
such thing as the administration oil
