Office tC, read the New York Evening
Post. of Feb. 18th, excerpts from an
article therein appearing, are herewith
submitted, and they make mighty fine
reading; the language is thoughtful
and neatly and if Mr.. Johnny Reb Will
read it prayerfully he will see where
Mr.. Yank ''is at and he will also
discover that the superior race in the
South" are not the whole thing, and
that there's a limit to human eadaT-
Gnce.

New York Evening Post, Feb. 1Sch:
"All that has prevented the execution
of the threat repeatedly made during
the last few years of cutting down re-
presentation of Southern states in Con-
gress to correspond with the changed
civic conditions locally, has been lack
of the pressure of public sentiment in
the dominant party. That lack has in
turn been due to dread on the part
of the Northern people Of re-awakening
he animositieS of a generation ago.
The North, whose better element has
sympathized with the feeling or the
South against the political outrages of
the carpet bag era is slow to move, bat
its inertia must not be mistaken for
sleep now, any more than in the later
ffties.

1t may be of interest to the Brax-
tons, Leec, Tlllmans, and other jackas-
sical performers from the South. and
in the South, who are frothing at the
mouth about Negro domination, inter
marriage, mulattoes, and niggers in
The colored American., 1903-03-14

Now if any democrat, living or dead,
who, if living, can extract any comfort
or consolation from the Secretary's
speech, he ought to bottle it at once
and put wax over the cork.
AS previously stated Secretary Root
is a lawyer-one of the first lawyers
at the New York bar. He has not dis
cussed this question Of the denial of
suffrage to the Negro at all. He has
merely adverted to conditions which
exist, which are out of harmony with
the policy of the administration and
the republican party, and which will
certainly be remedied. Of this there
need be no miSgivings on the part Of
the Negro, for nothing is more certain
1y written in the book of fate than
that the republican party and its sup
porters at the North will never aban-
don efforts to make the Negro in fact
as well as in name, a citizen of the
United States, and will protect him in
all his civil and political rights. The
significance of the opposition to his
inSiStence upon being so recognized
discovers the deep-seated fear at the
South as to the ultimate outcome of
the struggle, and it will inevitably be
called on to decide whether it will
stand by the results of the war of
secession. or whether it will continue
to defy the Federal authority and spit
upon the constitution. If it comes to
the latter, the South will discover that
the biggest part of this nation is North
of Masons and Dixon's line, and that
the principles for which Lincoln stood.
and Grant and Sheridan and Sherman
fought will survive and will not perish
from the earth.'
The colored American., 1903-03-14

The time for tempOrizing and COM
promising on this question is past. The
white men of the South cannot be made
to see what asses they are making of
themselves by their senseless opposl-
ton to the recognition of the Negro as
a man. This convention, if pulled off,
will give our Wisconsin friends a nice
outing, and they will hear some elo-
Quent and impasslOned oratOrY. They
will read editorials in the Southern
press like the following from the Nash
vile American, of March End:
The colored American., 1903-03-14

$50 the country has to face the fail
ure of the plan which was adopted at
the close of the civil war, to lift the
blacks from the condition in which
they were left when they were freed
from slavery by comforting upon them
the suffrage.
The colored American., 1903-03-14

Senator Hatten, of the Wisconsin
State Senate has offered a resolution
in that body authorizing and requesting
he Governor of Wisconsin to call upon
the Governors of other states to ap-
point ten delegates each to a conven-
tion at Atlanta, Ga. on the 4th, to
consider the race problem.
The colored American., 1903-03-14

Let the aggressions of the South pass
a certain point and there will be re-
sponse that must bring trouble in its
train. 1t is the Northern friends OF
the South who most dread to see this
come, for hand in hand with such
measures as the Crumpacker resolution
aimed, at those states of the South
which have boldly effaced the Negro's
civic rights under the farms of law,
will cOme measures for the Federal
control of elections aimed at those
states in which personal intimidation
still remains the chief weapon for the
defence of white supremacy

When the flag of truce returned for
The last time for a final answer, the
Colonel commanding the black troops
politely Informed the bearer that he
had no men to give away; that if Lee
had men enough he could come and
take the fort, provided he can whip us.
This was the sequeal of one of the
bloodiest battles of the rebelhon-for
three hours the iron throated guns of
the rebels belched forth their leaden
hail The rebels were repulsed, horse
foot and dragoOn, and Lee filled the
wagons in which he brought handouts
for the ''nigger soldiers" with dead
and wounded rebels. They discovered
that the first U. S. G. T. knew a few
things about fighting, and they were
glad to get beyond range of their guns
they have not yet forgotten how to
fight

The democrats who discuss this
speech have not analyZed this para
graph which contains the kernel of the
Secretary's admirable effort. For OBJ
vious reasons the anti-pigment society
prefer to overlook these ominouS words
of the War Secretary, since they con-
ceal more than they reveal. Continu-
ing he says:
The colored American., 1903-03-14

But" Cab, that but,) 'let me say
this: You did not live and labor in
vain, in this field the spirit in which
you wrought still lipeS. you have crea-
ted a higher type and sense of patrio-
tism; you have elevated the character
of American citizenship; and there live
to-day, largely through your efforts
and the example and inspiration fur
nished by you and the men who labored
with you in 1863, men enough IN this
land devoted to their country, compe-
tent to meet the problems and perform
the labors of good citizenship to carry
on the blessings that you saved from
extinction to the remotest generation,
and to that end long live the Union
League"
