CAN DECEIVE NO LONGER.

DESPITE the fact that every effort to
disfranchise the Negro in the southern
states has been followed by the an
nouncement that it would settle the
race question, it is evident that every
step in this direction has been followed
by a renewed agitation of the subject
The feeling to-day, with the offices in
every southern state absolutely in the
hands of white men, is more bitter than
ever was known in the history of the
country. The hope of some of the
most conservative elements that the re-
linguishing on the part of the Negro of
all of his rights would be folio ed by
an era of good feeling has not been
realized and we now witness the re-
markable spectacle of President of the
United States being condemned by
southern journals and mildly chided by
some northern ones, because he refuses
to violate his oath of office and make
color, instead of efficiency, the require
ment for appointment to office.
1t emphasizes one point and that is
that the citizen of color must no longer
appear before Mordecai of American
prejudice as Negro, but as a citizen of
the United States, entitled to all of the
rights and privileges of any other citi-
zen. The man, be he white or black,
who thinks that we should refrain
from asking for this or that because we
are alleged to belong to this race or
that will not be the guide for us through
this period of combat for our rights as
an American citizen.
The cry was that the opposition to us
was based on our ignorance and not
specifically on our color. Now the Ne
gro haters have thrown off all conceal
ment and disclosed the cruel purpose
of their deception.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1903-02-07

WE are CAD TO note there is dispos-
ition on the part of our Negro-hating
friends in the southland to keep the
races separate hereafter. We had come
to the conclusion that they had about
abandoned the experiment. The mis-
take was made in attempting to do it on
steam and electric cars and in waiting
rooms at the railroad stations.
Some of these Negotiating white
men who turn up their noses at Negroes
in the day time are as lively as bed-bugs
in crawling to them as soon as the sun
goes down in the nighttime. Every
sensible colored man in this section is
in favor of keeping the races separate,
even if he has to invoke the aid of the
shotgun TO do it.
Let us have law, making it felony
for colored person TO carnally know a
white one or a white person to carnally
know colored one and then we will
see who will get the worst of the bar
gain.
No colored man need TO go after a
white female for we have white Ne
groes, brown Negroes, yellow Negroes
and black Negroes and any individual
who is not satisfied with this assert
ment that God and the white folks
have given us should be made to get off
the face of the earth.

Church of Roanoke, Va. refused to

1t seems to us that this was case of
giving the white brethren a dose of

that white family in this city employ
sd colored undertaken to bury white
man, which one of the white pastors in
this city would permit the remains to
he brought into the church or would of

STILL AFTER US.

WE had hoped that with the elimina-
ton of the Negro as political factor
that the rancor against him would be
appeased and that an effort would be
made to soften the racial antagonisms
which appear to make itself seen and
felt upon every occasion. We had read
the sugar-coated articles in the Rich
mond, Va TIMES and nad been lulled to
sleep by the cooling lullaby of the mil
lenium, which, according to the Rich
iiioiidoi, Va, DISPATCH was sure 10 FOL fol-
low.
We confess that we did not believe a
word of the statements made; but OBJ
serving that the average white man IN
Virginia and the southland, together
with percentage of the brethren in
black" loves to be humbugged, we
thought that IT would be well So rest
ON our oars and wait and see.
LET us relegate the Negro question
to the rear forever" was the cry.
when this is done, white men can di-
vide up and vote their sentiments, I'M
alarmed by the dangers of Negro SUI
premacy. AS for you, Mr.. Niger, it
will be the best thing that ever happen
ed to you. When you are removed
from politics, all of the antipathy and
abuse of you will cease"
Well, practically all of the white
folks and not few of the Negroes be-
lieved this, although the writer of this
article was one who slept with one eve
open. We knew better We knew
that history, but repeats itself and to
expect such a remarkable happening
was to upset the fundamental laws of
nature and reason which have been in
operation since the world was created.
AS result, there is scarcely an issue
of the Richmond, Va, TMEs-DIsP ATcH
but what it has dissertation upon the
much abused Negro, whom it claims to
have killed and buried. It's latest eff
fusion was on Rev. DR.. CHAs. H. PARK
HURST of New York, whom it charges
with having said:
even at this day, so long after the
proclamation of emancipation, there is
| in many parts of the South condition
of veritable slavery. Although we claim
to be civilized people, there is a de-
gree of barbarism in our treatment of
the black race that is not exceeded in
any part of the world. And although
we send out missionaries to Christian
lie other lands, there are communities
in the South as un-Christian as any
part of heathendom.
Now, what is the use of quibbling or
fbegging the question ? Is not the state
sment true? We live here and we know
kit to be true. What has that to do

Statement of Engineer Davis Read to
Coroner's jury

Plainfield, n. J., Feb. 4-The coro-
ner's inquest on the collision week
ago between a Philadelphia express
train and a local near Graceland. on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
when % persons were killed or fatally
hurt and so badly injured, was begun
yesterday before jury composed
chiefly of city officials and merchants.
The most important testimony was
that introduced by DR.. Westcott, coun-
ty physician of Union county, who read
the statement made to him by Engi-
neer Davis, of the Reading express.
DR.. Westcott said he obtained the
statement from Davis on the evening
or January %. 1t is as follows:
Il started from Jersey City. going
west, at 6.13 p. m. with a leaking
steam chest, which had been, cracked
for month or so. Steam in large
quantities was escaping, and it was
necessary for me to shut down the
steam to see the tower signals. I said
to the fireman: We must go carefully
In order to see the signals We ar
rived at Elizabeth two minutes late.
Between Crawford and Westfield the
front injector broke, and jumping up
to put it back missed my signal after
passing Crawford. l saw the West.
held station and the passenger train
when within 60 feet of it. I applied
the emergency brakes and knew no
more until found myself in the back
OF the cab, with a car seat upon me
and fire all around me. l am 81 years
old, and have been an engineer for IL
years."
The statement was sworn to by Da-
Wis before DR.. Westcott as commits
sioner of deeds.
similar statement by Davis to the
chief of police of Plainfield was also
put in evidence.
