The Attempt a Failure.

Those Of our readers who do us the
honor TO read our editorial page will re-
call the fact that all along we have
insisted that the negro be taken ont of
politics for his own good. This we have
unswervingly maintained from the
first. AS time goes on great men arise
TO express the sama view, either direct
ly or indirectly. The latest utterance
on the subject was by Secretary Root,
whose address may be found i'm another
column. The attempt TO elevate the
black man 10y giving him the suffrage,
and thus making him political tool
dragging him through the filthy slums
and quagmires Of politics. "has failed"
or course it has failed ANONYMOUSLY
failed failed, not because, perhaps, the
colord man lacked ability or willingness
10 learn, or the desire 10 rise. but be
cause his education has been downward
instead % upward. The school Of pol
itiOs, as kept in this country foI the last
thirty years, has been such as to lower
the morals Of white as well rs black
men, and we venture the assertion that
the ignorant class of white people, who
have been made the tool Of politicians f.
on both sides, since the war, have made
as little progress rs the colored people,
and are just rs unfit to hold important
places i'm the government as are the
negros. The school Of politics is dem
Oralizing to the negro, and no wonder
the "attempt has failed." The people
Of the south have attempted to get him
out of politics, and may yet succeed. in
spite OF few misguided and mercenary
men. claiming to he the friends of the
negro, but who, in reality, are his worst
enemies. Take the negro entirely out
Of politics. Remove him from the
corrupting influences of his socalled
political friends disabuse his mind of
any hope Of elevation except 10y honest,
hard Mork; place within his reach such
instruction and incentive as will bring
out the best that is in him. ANA then. if
ever, he will rise. And along in this
same category might be placed with
profit, number of white men in thc
south, who are just as unfit To fool
with politics, and are as easily corrupt
ed rs the negro.

1t has been said That Il man should
be in very good health if he takes no
more than three different kinds of food
at any one meal. 1t should he served
as nearly as possible in its simple
state. More food is required on a
damp, raw. cold day than on n cheer
full. dry one.
AS Il rule. ii is safe To assume that
what we crave FOR is best for us,
though In cases Of illness this point
should not he strictly adhered to.
Men require good deal more food
than women; those who work hard
more than those who lead sedcntary
life; those who are growing more then
those who have reached maturity.
