for some time a slave in Algiers. and
there he devised q plan to free himself
and thirteen of his fellow sufferers.
One of them traitorously revealed tho
design, and they were all brought be

Is The Negro RetrogrGdings

In another column we publish let
ter from the Christian Advocate, Of
Richmond, which paper is reliable au-
thority generally, on almost ony sub
ject. The editor, DR.. LafTerty,
is outspoken, and positive that
the negro i'm the South is retrograding
Notwithstanding all the efforts made by
churches and philanthropists, since the
war for their elevation, and declares
that the race will yet bewail the day Of
their freedom" If this position be
the correct one, and the negro has
grown worse since the days Of slavery
there is, in our judgement, a cause
plain to be seen. This paper has con-
tended all along that all the ills and
woes OF the negro race i'm the South,
are traceable directly or indirectly, TO
politics. We advocated as strongly as
we could the acknowledgements OF the
colored man for his own good. There
were other reasons for his elimination
from politics, but this was the chief
one-his own salvation depended upon
it,
SO soon, and even before, the right
Of suffrage was conferred upon the
negroes they entered into a training
school which was as corrupt in method
and design, as was ever evolved from
any cesspool Of iniquity. The teach
ing and training was thorough. Appeal
was made to the strongest motive
greed of gain. They were made TO be-
heve that wrong was right, and that to
scheme against their former masters and
supplant them was their moral and
religious duty however accomplished
The preachers, from the pulpit pro-
claimed same theory. Their teachers
in school taught the same thing. They
were apt pupils in this school OF crime.
More than thirty years Of patient ar
duous work has bone fruit-produced
a rich harvest Millions of dollars
spent in schools and churches has been
almost entirely wasted upon this de
luded and corruptible race. We are not
prepared to say that their emancipa-
ton was n mistake, but certainly grant
ing them the franchise was a mistake
If not a crime. Now, that efforts are
being made to close this school Of crime
they still refuse TO see, and heed the
warning Of past experience, and are
trying to force their way back into "A
ruinous career from which it is sought
to deliver them. Should they succeed
in so doing, and once more become i'm
portant factors in determining the re-
suits of elections, all hope of their ele-
walton and improvement will be gone.
If thirty five years of time and money
which they have worse than squander-
ed had been given to the acquisition Of
knowledge and property instead of to
efforts to supplant and ruin their white
benefactors Of the South, a far differ
ent story could be told.
If the Republican party made :
mistake in giving them the franchise.
then the man ormen who shall succeed
las they are trying to do now,) in
thwarting honest efforts to deprive
them of the same, and free them from
a bondage, compared with which slavery
was great blessing, will be guilty OF a
crime, the results of which will be to
decide the doom of the race for ages.

ADVOCATE DEALS
WITH THE NEGRO
Sarcasm Dealt Out to Its
Chicago Contemporary

In the Christian Advocate OF several
days ago there appeared an editorial
dealing i'm rather n sarcastic manner
with certain utterances % the Chicago
Christian Advocate, and incidentally
making "a by no means complimentary
reference TO John 5. Wise, OF New
York.
The discussion by the Advocate is
over the assertion by its Chicago con-
temporary that Moses married a
"negress" and that God justified that
action" making Miriam a leper for
laughing Mt the black woman cas-
a punishment" The Advocate OF
Richmond wants TO lIrow of the Adj
vocate OF Chicago If Moses fell I'M love
with a genuine African woman, fiat
nose, thick lips, kinlIy wool and musky
odor,' and also "what became Of the
'yaller' progeny OF Moses and the ne
gress.' Did this superior man, Egypt
ian prince, lawgiver, leader, hero, leave
in Palestine a lot Ct mulattoes OF high
station?' The Richmond paper wants
TO know what became Of them.
From this point the Advocate
branches off into a discussion Of the
negro problem. 1t says in part:
A GREAT WRONG.
