SAN ILLOGICAL GOVERNOR"

THE Richmond, Va, TINES. DISPATCH.
under the caption of ''An illogical Gov
ernor" in it's issue of January 2Ist. 1900
said:
Governor James X. Vardaman, of
Mississippi, in his inaugural address,
which we printed yesterday, declared
that education is the curse of the Negro
race, tending TO make him worse IN
stead Of better, and urged an amend
ment TO the State Constitution that
would place the distribution of the COM
mon school fund solely within the pow
er of the Legislature.
After citing some statistics, which
proved to the Governor satisfaction
that under a system of education the
Negro race has become more brutal and
class Of Negroes are not responsible for
this terrible condition, nor for the GRIM
inal tendency of their race.
cit seems to us that the Governor ut
terry refutes his own argument in this
saying. He admits that there is bet
ter class of Negroes. and we ask, in all
reason, how this class is to DO contin-
ued and still further improved and in
creased in number. Are we to accom-
plish it by turning our backs upon the
Negro race, and withholding from
them the means of education? Can we
make more Negroes of the better class
by keeping them in ignorance and su-
perstition, and in a state of moral isola-
ton? is it possible to improve any man
whether he be black or white, by with
holding from him the means of mental
and moral development?
Governor Vardaman's doctrine
seems to US to be utterly illogical, un-
tenable, harsh and cruel. AS one of
our great educators has we'll said: 'lg-
norance is the remedy for nothing.
Our system for educating the black man
is defective, but it is scarcely less than
an axiom, that if we would improve
him, we must educate him, for improve
ment is education, and education is i'm
provement."
This is what we call from a logical
standpoint, "eating him up alive

the other victims. The three men were

but in this does not lose sight Of the
main purpose of his address when he
says:
THE elementary schools of the South
have done an unparalleled work since
emancipation. But that work would
nave been an impossibility had it not
peen Tor the teachers trained in the
higher institutions, established and sus-
tanned by Christian benevolence.
without these trained teachers, mil
mons expended by the State for public
equation must largely have gone TO
waste. Had it not been for these
schools of higher training, that early
enthusiasm for knowledge which after
emancipation, carried old and young into
the schools, would long since have spent
Itself, and millions of the race would
nave sunk back into the low levels of
ignorance where slavery left them.
These colleges and normal schools have
not only given thousands of teachers to
the public schools, they have also
brought ideals and higher hopes to an
entire race. Fortunate it is that these
were Christian schools. The influence
of moral and spiritual ideals in the
teachers of a race just out of bondage -

IaERE is not a colored person in the
state of responsibility, but what regrets
90 learn of the horrible crime commit
ted at Roanoke, Va, where a white
lady was murderously assaulted and
outraged and her child barbarously
treated on Saturday last. In order that
the guilty man may receive his just de.
serts, it is only necessary that a colored
jury be empanelled and an opportunity
be given for the law to take it's course.
Such fisnds are the enemies of society
IN general and of the colored people in
particular.
The hope every law-abiding citizen is
that the guilty person NAV be appre-
hended and punished by the authorities
of the law. He can expect no sympa-
Shy from colored men and if the guilty
person is caught and convicted, a hearty
amen will go up from every colored
mans home in Virginia.
A man, be he white or black, who
would commit such crime on a fe-
male, white or black, deserves death,
and the courts of this state will not be
slow to mete it to him.
The question of color should not en-
ter into the discussion. 1t has been
demonstrated that crime knows no col
or or race. White men Rave committed
and are committing outrages as heinous
ms any ever found in the catalogue of
british achievements.

Stremer, in whose care she had been
placed on leaving Cuba.
The two Cubans had not seen each
other for three years, but the recogni-
ton was instantaneous. Private Strem-
er stood at "atteA ton" with a pleased
smile on his face vi Tile the two exhausted
the vocabulary OF endearments.
The bride was hysterial at first. The
crowds, the unaccustomed cold, and the
language she could not understand
frightened her and she hid her face in
her husbands coat and sobbed- He held
her while sympathetic women passen-
gers tried to soothe her and after while
the little fear passed away and she was
smiling with confidence again.
She had been married to Rafael, his
father acting as proxy, because the
young man himself could not leave his
employment at the Rogers Locomotive
works IN Paterson, where he is STUDYING
to become an engineer
At another dock there was an outgo-
Ing steamer which carried two happy.
passengers with a story worth repeating.
They had been married in Pennsylvania.
The young man had told his bride that
the money he had saved for the wedding
would take them on a wedding trim to
New York, but that they must not be ex-
travagent, they would need to be eco
nomical in beginning housekeeping.
At this she smiled and promised TO he
exceedingly careful of the house hold
funds. A trip to New York was all the
wedding trip any girl needed. she
thought.
So they were married and started on
their trip. When they got to New York
the bride informed her husband that II
would be nicer to drop their arrange
ments for the wedding trip and make a
tour of the world instead.
You see," she said with a blush and

1t was an astonished young man that
listened to this announcement, but their
appearance on the pier, taking an outeo-
Ing vessel, was proof that he did not re-
gret the fact that the woman he had
married as poor had turned out to be
rich.
