DR.. r.. ID. Breed of Philadelphia,
and they contain a hint which will
prove TO be of great value, IL IL is
followed 10 its logical conclusion.
II means that the Negroes in the
Presbyterian Church can see if the
vote is a criterion OF the wishes Of
the great masses of the Church that
they are not wanted. and that the
time has come for them to cease to
be an appendage to the white race.
SO far as the Presbyterian Church is
concerned.
There is no reason why they
should not take the white member
ship at its word and organize sepa-
rate presbyteries and have a separate
General Assembly, with Negro ofic-
ers from bottom to top and top TO
bottom. They have as shining ex-
amples the Great A. NJ. +. Church.
the A. NJ r. Zion Church and the
National Baptist Convention. These
powerful Negro organizations are
doing a great work and are learning
the lessons of self-government in a
way that IS gratifying to every de
voice of the race in this country.
BY this means alone can the Ne
gro rise in attainment until the
race is the peer OF the white man.
Is it possible that the strong men Of
the race now affiliated with the Pres
byterian Church cannot see? When
the General Assemblies. both North
and South get through resoluting,
let the leaders of that denomination
who are of Negro origin call a meet
ing so formulate plans and take
steps 90 launch movement. which
viii have for it's aim and purpose
the organization of Presbyterian
Church in keeping with the pur-
poses OF the original founders.
The report says further:
Rev. W. a. Alexander. colored of
Brooklyn. spoke ON the alleged
criminal tendency of the Negro. He
said when disturbances arise i'm the
south the Negroes who have no To-
cal attachment 20 a community be-
gin Co move. 10 is largely this class
which goes into the north Much
of the criminality among Negroes.
he said. is due 20 taking them into
police courts and prisons for trivial
onenses. The Negro race is grow
ing in its power 20 deliberate He
said the Negroes are against sepa-
rate prcsbyteries."
Mr.. Justice Harlan delivered a re-
buke in the following language:
Justice John A. Harlan said TO rs
the glib talk about growing crimi-
uality among Negroes which comes
from people who want to keep mp
race prejudice. In proportion 20
numbers. he said. there are no more
Negro criminals than white. Let
ms find nowhere i'm the reports or
deliberations of the General Assem-
bly, anything Of the criminalitv of
the Negro he said. The resolu-
tions of the committee were adopted
with no reference 80 Negro crimi-
nality.
We shall watch with interest the
result of this agitation now going
ON in the Presbyterian Church. II
the leading colored men are able TO
formulate plans and blaze" out a
way, We shall be graufed. II they
are content 10 register their protests
and submit without a struggle. il

serts and have been assigned a place
