RANDOM SHOTS AND
CHILL.

The January number of McClures
Magazine contains an article from the
pen of Hon. Carl Schurz, the signifi-
canoe of which at this time will be re-
marked by all observers of current
events. The caption of the article is
also uggestive-"Can the South solve
the Negro Problem?" 1t can if it
wills to do so-but will it do so along
admirable article in which he has
pointed out as only a statesman of his
breadth of mind and experience in
public affairs is capable, the correct
policy which the South should adopt
in order to secure the blessings of
peace and domestic tranquility within
its borders? There is a suggestion IN
the article that the northern people
people may not tamely submit to a
continuance of the reprehensible and
cOw&rdly practices of the South to
keep the Negro in his place; i. e., the
place which the South believes he
should occupy-that of subordination
to the superior race" 1t is a mooted
question whether the South can sue
ceed in permanently keeping the Ne
gro in this subordinate place, and
whether the Negro himself will much
longer submit to the arbitrary and
revolutionary policy adopted by the
South to deprive him of his civic and
political rights, and of equal partici-
patton in the government which he is
taxed to support Mr.. SchurZ very
clearly shows in his able and mastery
article that the amendments to the
constitution which are being called in
to question by southern critics are
abe to withstand the most crucial
analysis of the Doctrinaires, north
and south, who pretend to see in them
serious legal defects which affect their
constitutionality. The men who draft
ed these amendments were lawyers
who understood what they were doing,
and if we had about two or three doz-
en- of the same stamp in the present
Congress, the South would be brought
to its senses much sooner than it will
be.
The colored American., 1904-01-09

Of the possibility or feasibility Of
repeating any of these amendments,
Mr.. Schurz takes the only view which
a man of ordinary intelligence could
take, viz. that it is impracticable and
visionary; that the states which voted
for their ratification and adoption
could not be induced to reverse them
selves after all these years. There is
no more danger of the repeal of these
amendments now than there was the
day after they became a part of the
Federal Constitution.
Mr.. Schurz uncovers the hypocracy
of the South, and exposes to view its
real purpose in seeking to disfran-
chise the Negro, and to make him su-
bordinate to the men who tried to de-
stroy the government which these
same Negroes or their fathers
helped to make possible and perpetual.
The Negro Freeman is a bitter pill for
the southern white man to swallow:
sight of him causes his memory to
run back to ante-bellum days when he
was lord of the manor and the black
man. now his equal before the law,
was his vassa1. To prevent this free
Negro from enjoying the blessings of
his blood-bought freedom the white
men of the South for thirty years
have resortcd to every despicable

cowardly villification of the race
which, when these white men were
fighting to rivet the chains of slavery
more tightly about them, fed their
armies and protected their families,
and gave them sympathy in the hour
of death. The base ingratitude of the
white South reveals itself in the face
Of this record of loyalty on the part of
the black men and women, without
whose willing support and aid when
treason sought to wind its Shiny form
around the altar of liberty and to blot
out the stars from the flag of freedom,
would have gone down in defeat much
sooner than it did, and their wives
and children would have starved to
death. These Negroes kept life in the
bodies of vipers who, true to their in
stincts, are now ready to faSten their
poisonous fangs into them and sting

they had all during that bitter war
But there is bound to be a jumping
off place somewhere, and the signs of
the times indicate that the South is
getting very near that place The Ne
gro 1OiH not submit to southern inter
pretation of law which affects his stat

permit the South to very much longer

The North seems to have emboldened
them and they would now, if they
could, repeal the XVIII Amendment.
But no Southern man now living will
ever remember the day when this
event occurs, for the simple reason
that it will not occur in this century
or the next. Mr.. Schurz, inthe course
Of his argument, says: And here is
the crucial point: There will be a
movement either in the direction of
reducing the Negroes to a permanent
condition of serfdom-the condition
of mere plantation hand, alongside
