THE TTMES-DISPATCH AND THE
NEGRO

We have repeatedly called atten-
ton TO the fact that the designing
politicians persistently stir up race
prejudice and keep alive the feeling
of animosity noted among some of
the members OF the white and col
ored races. The colored voter has
been eliminated as a factor in poll
tics and the Richmond, Va. Times
Dispatch was one Of the first journals
to rejoice over the fact that the at
mosphere had been cleared, so to
speak and that white men were
able 10 discuss the great issues of
the day without Juggling into the
campaign the much desplsed Negro
bugaboo.
This view of the situation was
communicated TO the North. What
is the result? A white mans cam
paign is now under way and the
first thing this same journal pro-
ceeds 10 do is to discuss the Negro.

so far as his voting strength in the

OF surprise that a journal of the
scope and influence of the Times
Dispatch, owned and edited as IL is
by Christian gentlemen should de-
scend TO this level of campaign

and shaking the confidence In IT of

DIR. LANDRUDI ANSWERS.

To our utmost surprise. that elo-
quent, God-fearing divine. Rev. J
.B. Hawthorne Of this city wrote an
open letter TO that prince OF Baptists
and great principles Rev. u. w. W.
Lcndrum OF Atlanta with reference
20 the recent Worlds Congress of
Baptists held in London. Eng.
The article was an the more re-
markable for its illusions to the
much abused Negro. Rev. DR.. Haw
thorne has always been regarded as
a liberal on this question. but his
present attitude would Indicate that
he has decided to join the army OF
Negro-haters. That Rev. DR.. Ian
drum has answered him, and that
he has answered him plainly hardly
admits OF a question. Our readers
will no doubt enjoy the rich sarcasm
and sledge-hammer blows contained
in the extracts which we cite as fol-
lows;
Let me say that while the monu-
mental gathering Of our people might
have leen better, it far surpassed
what ] expected. IL Is true some of
our greatest men were absent. Gen
eral stephen d. Lee commander-in-
chief of the Confederate Veterans.
was not present; nor General Miles,
lately the head Of the United States
army. Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller. the
richest man in the world, did not go,
nor John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., his son.
Our greatest educational genius and
organizer, President Harper, Of Chi
cago University, was not on hand
nor Noah X. Davis Of the University
OF Virginia Governor Terrell. OF
Georgia; Governor Montague. of Vir-
ginia; Governor Joseph Folk, of
Missouri, and long catalogue Of
eminent laymen in the denomination,
which is increasingly rich in national
nd international celebrities, for some
reason failed TO be among the might

lieve. was present in spirit. s"s
The negroes in the congress num-
bered forty eight, in a total Anne can
representation of seven hundrc nd
as much consideration as they ever
receive on the floor or platform Of
the Southern Baptist convention. AS
a matter of fact our brother in black
was accorded perfect religious equal
ity such as Southern Baptists, even
in the DAYS OF slavery, were delighted
to yield him on all proper occasions.
Beyond question the negro was a GU
riosity to Europeans almost 10 the de
gree that a Chinaman is TO an Amer
lean audience. Over the protest of
number Of modest and self-respect-
ing colored brethren, a few negroes
were urged 70 speak several times
as a special favor to Englishmen who
wished 10 be assured that they were
intelligent, sensible, sound In the
edification of the brotherhood. 1t
Is my belief that the negro brethren
behaved about as we'll as could be
expected under the conditions which
pressed them into an unsought and
unexpected prominence.
There are no negro hotels In Lon
don. There are no negro private
residences in London. How unreas
enable, therefore, to charge that be-
cause negroes we're compelled to be
entertained by white people that they
were practicing social equality and
that the English were forcing South
ern Baptists TO approve and endorse
social intercourse and relations not
permitted in their own country. Not
