NO SOCIAL EQUALITY.

1t is the most heatheuish, barbarous
cowardly villiany upon the part of that
class of editors and would. be statesmen
and leaders in the South TO persist in
charging the Negro race with desire
fos social equality and intermarriage
with the white race. Every man who
makes that charge against us as a race
Is either lgnCrant concerning the truth
III the matter or else he is base falsi-
fier, indeed an outrageous liar. If these
men are sincere III the desire to keep
the AnRlo-Saxon blood pure. aud if they
really want TO erect n barrier between
the races, then let them put up legal
bars, such as we suggest between white
men and Negro women as well as be-
tween white women and Negro men.
When those gentlemen charge the

sires for social equality and in,ermar-

THE FoULEsT OF ALL.
The most foul, baseless slander it
seems to me, contained in that con-
sclousless production in the Times Dem
ocrat, and that which would cause old
AnaDias to throw up the sponge. is the
charge that the Negroes as a race or any
considerable number of them hope"
for social equality and iDtermarriage
with white People. That editor knows
better than any one who lives in the
North or West that there are not a doz
en- of even partially informed Negroes
in the whole South who want social
equality or who would. if they could.
marry white people. 1t SEEMS to me
that the subject of race mixing is one
to be avoided by every New Orleans
Democrat for, as has been hitherto said,
there Is not city in America where
as many mulattoes and albinoes are to
be found as can be found in New Or

THOSE HALF-wHTES.

1t is also safe to conclude that four
fifths of those half white children. some
of them with ebony bla k mothers have
democratic fathers; our democratic
friends. many of them. use TO sell their
own children and now since they are
deprived of that luxury thew get even

Them into "Jim Crow Cars" Mr..
Editor. let us all insist upon some su h
Legislation as is suggested above; the
democrats S EN- to be- carrying the war
into Africa" let us therefore, carry
Africa into the war. 1t seems to me
that the chief aim upon the part of
those people is to keen the Negro men
clear away from white women ON the
one hand aud leave Ihe Negro women
absolutely unprotected aud therefore
the almost, helpless subjects of the
foul lusts of the same class of monsters
who are daily bowling about Negro
equality; II this Is not true, where do
these thousands of colored children
born in the South each year. whose
fathers are white come from? ANY man
who TO day has the courage to express
a sentiment that appears i'll, tho small
est degree to tend towards Justice and
fairness TO the Negro instantly draws
upon himsel deluge of abuse, slander
aud maliciously false accusations from
all over the South. only however from
a certain class. aud from every dough
face and "me 100" sycophant in the
North and West.

The real effort is to destroy the self
respect. natural aspirations and man
hood had by the real men and women

the Negro is a MAN, God Almighty made
him a man. and thers has never lived
enough democrats from Jefferson on 70

a sufficient number from Tillmau 70 the

made. A ID there is another thing
which is also true and that is that the
