A NEW MOSES.

The Columbis IS. CO. State has dis
covered another Afro-American phe-
nomenon in the person of Richard
Carroll, a Baptist preacher, who is
superintendent of an orphan home
near that city, and suggests that he
is an ideal person to be the Moses
of the Afro-American people.
Carroll is lecturing to large audi
ences, composed of big white folks,
who occupied the lower floor of the
Opera House. and some other folks
who occupied the balcony above. Mr..
Carroll thinks that the Afro-Ameri-
can "is not race to rule, but to fol-
low. that the Southern white man is
his best friend and that he is the
white mans best FRIEND that he hates
to face a white man in eating, and
that education will not bring him any
nearer, socially, to the white man.
He also advises the AfrO-American,
not to vote 1t is almost needless to
state that Mr.. Carroll carried his audi
ence. the part "in the balcony above
excepted. His policy was very sim
pie and effective one, and consisted
in saying just what the white folks
wanted him to say. That policy al
ways wins.

In an opinion handed down the
other day by the higher court OF
Maryland the Jim Crow legislation
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature is sustained on the same legal
ground. The state legislature, the
court held, had the authority to i'm
pose reasonable regulations upon COM
mon carriers, and a regulation provid-
ing for the separation of white and
Afro American persons in the interest
OF public order, peace and morals is
not unreasonable.
So declares the court. But it ad-
duces no proof that such action is In
the interest of order, peace and NOR
ais: and none can be given. That
the southern legislatures are not int1u-
enced by any such considerations is
self-evident fact; for they wink al
shamefully immoral relations existing
between the races which confront
them every day. The plea is glarlng
hypocrisy and the men who make IT
are usally entirely destitute OF the
least semblance of morality-mere
white sepulchres.

SATURDAY. MAY 6, 1905.
IAN ANCESTRY OF A THOUSAND
YEARS."

Senator Bacon of Georgia, not long
world, the annexed specimen of red
hot rhetoric:
1T was a crime against society and
civilization unsurpassed. unequaled,
and unprecedented in all the ages, to
endeavor by legislative enactment to
tche millions of black men, the low
est and most inferior in blood and
development of the human race, ig-
rorant and utterly wanting in each
and every moral act and mental
equipment for governing themselves
CT others. and to place them in gov
ernmental power and control OF the
white people of the South-a people
of education, culture, and refinement
"a people who not only by their own
character attainments and achieve
ments, but by the attainments and
achievements of an ancestry of a thou
sand years. justly ranked as a not
inferior part of the foremost and most
illustrious race of all the EARTH
Unfortunately the Senator's elO-
o,ence does not disprove the fact that
a large majority of the Caucasian
people of the South are shamefully il
literate. as a result of a system of po-
litical economy which is modelled up
on that of the Hindoos and designed
to insure the supremacy Of the "men
OF ancestry"
The policy of the Republican party
has broken down the barrier which
condemned the poor Caucasian of the
South to ignorance and poverty and
such men as jeff Davis, Vardaman
and Tillman are the born representa-
tives of the poor white element
which now dominates the South.
These demagogues rode into power in
consequence of their appeals to the
rreiudices of the 'poor whites" of the
South which is equally intense
against the Afro-American and his
former master. The men in the
South with IAN ancestry of thou
s~nd years have ceased to have any
significance as a political factor

CORRESPONDENT CURTIS.

Correspondent Curtis, who has been
wandering through the South, in a re-
cent letter gives the following as his
personal opinion:
"The Negro is naturally lazy; he
loves to lie basking in the sun, and
it is necessary to have an overseer
to keep him at his work.
Mr.. Curtis has perhaps never OBJ
served the fact in all cases where
white men are employed in large mum
bers, it is necessary to have an over
seer. Nor has he, as yet, discovered
that the Southern white man is just
as lazy as the Afro,American, and
Just as fond of basking, only he does
bis basking at the plantation grocery
Everybody knows that during slavery
vines the poor white man gained a
p:eearious living by hunting and fish.

Rider Haggard, the English author,
has been terrifying the savants OF the
University of California, by asserting
that western civilization was in dan
ger of being swept away by con-
quering eastern people that had the
virtues of their country and were not
afflicted with western evils
1t is true that the way that Japan
has walloped Russia has been a rude
shock to the white mans plan to gov
ern the world, but we do not enter
tain any doubt of the permanence OF
western civilization. But it is as GER
tain as any future event can be that
western civilization will be compelled
to abate somewhat of it's cantankerons
coor-rrejudice and truly consent to
the brotherhood of man, if not the ia
therhood of God. Western civlliZa-
ton will be compelled to obliterate
the color-line which dominated it's
morals and religion, or it's commercial
relations with the rest of the world
will be Of the most limited extent.

Recently, one Poultney Bigelow, in
two lectures delivered at the Boston
University, took it upon himself, to in
suit the Afro-Americans of the coun-
try by using the most offensive Ian
guage in reference to them. We
quote merely one of his expressions,
as follows: There isn't Negro who
is fit to legislate for cat" Where
upon a deputation of respectable
Afro American residents of Boston,
led by Editor Trotter of the Guardian,
waited upon the authorities Of the
University and secured rebuke OF
the impudent fool that must have
made him feel like he had butted in
to a hornets nest. These noble de-
tenders of their race adopted the right
Policy and carried it out successfully.
They deserve the warmest commenda-
ton. Bigelow is now sensible OF the
fact that the jawbone Of an ass is an
uncommonly dangerous part OF
blackguard's equipment.

Those cheerful philosophers who
have proved to their own satisfaction
that the servants of the present day
are 'honeryest" creatures who ever
existed. will be appalled, by learning
that a Portuguese traveller, who visit
ed England in 1880, describes the serv'
ants of that day as ''the plague OF al
most every house in town. The
real cause of the prevalence of bad
servants is simply the contemplate
meanness of the employers, who mis-
treat the servants in every conceiv-
able way. and then join in the gen.
eral cutlery. The servants being, as
rule, poor and DEPENDENT; have no
advocates nor defenders; hence, they
share the fate of those who labor I'M
der such disabilities.

Judge Tree says that the people of
the South are engaged in struggle
for race supremacy in their states.
And he might have added that in so
doing: they are attempting to destroy
the very theory upon which this ma
ton was founded, multiplying the Con-
stitution of the United States, and ut
terly ignoring the religion they pro-
fess. The doctrine of race supremacy
has proved to be the destruction Of
every nation that has attempted to
put it in practice; for it is simply the
doctrine that Might makes Right.

ing and was not trained to habits Off
industry as the Afro-American was.
Neither was the rich white man, as he
was impressed with the idea that it
was divinely ordained that the Afro
American should keep him from
starving. The Afro-American never
could see any special reason why he
should be especially enthusiastic about
this function, and wisely concluded to
do as little work as possible. Mr..
Curtis himself. would be naturally
lazy if he had to work for nothing
and find himself. There is nothing ex-
hilarating about making bricks with
out straw. j.
