erners approve. On the contrary, I fold
them nothing more than have told the
members of my own congregation more
than once
1t is very serious problem to see two
races multiplying and gaining in numbers
and strength side by side in this great
land of ours. 1t is a most solemn prob
lem, one that saddens a thoughtful man
when he ponders over it.
The niggers will never be assimiIated by
the nation. They never, never will con-
tribute in any part toward forming the
Americans of the future They grow
blacker and blaeker every day. Their
color forms physical barrier which even
time, the great leveler, cannot sweep
away.
Persons who talk of assimilation in con-
nection with the race problem don't un-
derstand what they speak Of. Future
generations of our race will be very much
as we are. The physical barrier that sep
arates the blacks from the whites today
will be just as broad and as high through
out all the centuries to come.
Now, if that is not rank heresy ac-
cording to the Crumpacker theory it
would be difficult to think of any ut
terance that could be so construed. It
is, in fact, double heresy, for DR.. Park
hurst not only says that most of the
colored people. down south "are unfit
for the responsibilities of citizenship"
which is all that the most rabid white
men down south ever claimed, but this
New York Republican purifier and re-
former adds insult to injury by call
ing colored people "niggers." The Bos-
ton papers once hopped on to the writ
er hereof for quoting in congress an
anecdote in which somebody else-a
Republican at that-had used the word
niger I submit that Judge Crum-
packer should harness Parkhurst up
and infict condign punishment upon
him.
A Whopper.
Fish stories are proverbially unre-
liable, but surely the biggest whopper
that ever emanated from a disciple of
Izaak Walton is that recently sent out
from Putin Bay, where Grover Cleve-
land is having fun with the finny
tribes, to the effect that he is, at what
appears to him to be the proper time,
to take himself absolutely out of con-
sideration as a presidential candidate

unsuspecting public his quondam at
torney general and protege, Hon. judi
son Harmon of Cincinnati, with such
an Endorsement as will secure the lat
ter's nomination! This advice is ten-
dered here freely: No one not in
tending to commit suicide should un-
dertake to hold his breath until Mr..
Harmon is nominated for president by
Democratic convention. Verb. sap.

Dropped Peg.
Most persons remember the story Of
the patriot willing to sacrifice himself
on the altar of his country who began
by applying to General Jackson for o
foreign mission of the first class and
ended by accepting pair of old boots.
Wonder if Hon. Myron T. Herrick Of
Cleveland, o., is any kin to him? AS
soon as it was announced that Senator
Hanna had taken General Charles
Dick out of the race-choked him out,
SO it was said-the friends of Herrick
began booming him for president,
which seemed at the time to be rather
premature performance. Now the
news comes from Buckeyedom that
Herrick's ambition has fallen one peg
and that he will be a candidate for
vice president BY the time Tom
Johnson defeats him for governor
Herrick will be satisfied with the mis-
sion to Dahomey. He's on the tobog-
gan. Let her go, Gallagher
