The Pinnacle OF the Negro-Who
placed Him There

MEssERs EDITORS ALLOW me to ask a few
questions and say few words in your valued
columns. How many voters of Cecil County
know thatin their pockets they carry the sigma
ture of a negro? J. W. Lyons, registrar of the
Treasury who signs the bank notes.
Is the graft so great we have no white honest
men to fill this position? Negroes haven't brains
enough to steal large amounts. Their thieving
consists mostly OF trifies. Why wasntJ. W. Lyons
secured to speak at the recent POLITICAL meeting
held at Rising Sun, in which the Hon. Charles j.
Bonaparte Secretary OF the Navy, took part? They
are all of the same clique. The boat was certainly
large enough for the entire bunch.
The old fashioned negro is all right. He knows
his place. Death has ended many a lite of faith
full service in families who bought them before
the freedom of the negro. OF how many white
men can this be said, especially in public service
The negro question can never be settled by the
ballot alone. With it must go personal appli-
cation OF n standard of morals. Men of corrupt
morals have improper relations with negro
women. She then considers herself ON par with
the white man. So she is. And he is no better
than she.
White men who would not allow a negress to
sup with them at their tables will not exclude
them from their category of vices.
Think this over.
Verify. virtue hath its own reward.
