Another of Bro Thomas Dixon's
amazing blunders is his statement in
regard to the Negro that "his land
swarmed with powerful and docile an
imals.' All ethnologists agree in as
signing equatorial Africa as the origin
al home OF the Negro race and no one
of them mentions the fact that the re-
glon sWarms with powerful and docile
animals Even Bro, Dixon ought to
know that England had to buy Mis-
souri, mules for use in the Boer war.
Even Bro. Dixon ought to have heard
OF the tsetse fly which renders it i'm
possible for animals of the horse kind
to live in Negro land.

"A newspaper wait, now going the

pdite dDOuuueQ III SuCl CelllnS points
as the following
Every man who voted for the amend
ment in the legislature, every man who
was prominent in its advocacy last Thurs
day has sworn some of them often-to
uphold the Constitution of the United
States All of them have held-some hold
novelties of trust and profit by vir-
tue OF that oath; yet, we are told, and
told without disguise or shame, that they
have all plotted together to defeat and
overthrow what is owned to be the un-
doubted purpose and intent Of that Con-
stitution, and it is boast that they can
and will do this with impunity
Yes. they can do it with impunity so
long as German. like Cataline, takes
his seat in the Senate, instead of being
expelled for perjury. or indicted for
treason.
Another point was:
In the City of Baltimore we have
some $4,000 coored voters The Poe
amendment groups with them over
$4,000 White voters; the right of five
white men are endangered to expose
those of two Negroes to the same risk,
yet we are told and asked to believe that
! no white voter need concern himself
personally as to whether the amendment
be or be not adopted
Secretary Bonaparte is all right.

DR.. Dixon is appalled, by the consid-
Grafton that the Negro" race if allow
ed to remain in the United States,
Will by the end of the present century,
number 6O,0O0,000; and asks us to
think of what it means for moment.
Our opinion is that it means that the
white race, according to DR.. Dixon's
mode OF computation, will then have
60O.OOO,OOO, so that the condition of
things, in that respect will be just as
it is at present, the Afro-American
constituting about one tenth of the
population.
