The Remedy

tween the black man and the white
man in America,-both have in
alienable rights which the other
sooner or later must respect, and
as both races are here, and here to
stay, they should live in peace,
one with the other. But the re-
cent events in America which
shows so plainly the steady growth
of hatred of the white man against
the colored race all over this
country is self evident that the
black man is becoming less safe in
America every day, and his life is
not safe in any place in this broad
land, and it is high time that the
black man would see that if he Sc
cures his God-given rights in
America he must secure them
through blood,-and every Negro
should stop spending so much
money foolishly, and man his
home with arms and ammunition
as will afford him protection to
his family and dear ones, and let
every Negro in America grit his
teeth and resolve in the words of
Patrick Henry: 81 care not what
others may say, but as for me
GIVE Me LIBERTY OR GIVE
ME- DEATH" and with the words
of General Custer at the fight
against Sitting Bull say one to the
other, "WE CAN BUT DIE
ONCE, BOYS; WE WILL SELL
OUR LIVES DEAR"
And if the Negro must die for
his rights, and if the American
government can see the ills of
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines,
the isles of the sea, Manchuria,
and other foreign countries, and
are helpless to give aid to certain
of her own citizens, it is the duty
of those citizens to stand forth
for their own rights.
The American Negro has done
his duty, and has more than won
for himself a right to the protec-
ton of the American government,
and e'er long america must give
an accounting before the nations
of the world.-Wichita ,SearchHght.
The Freeman, in common with
the Negro people of the land,
hopes for the best, but fears the
worst. The times are out of Joint
on the race question. There has
been too much temporlzing with
the opponents of the Federal Con-
stitution and the laws. Little by
little the tyrants of the South
have been permitted to tramPle
upon the rights of the Negro citi-
zen, until the rights of no citizen
are safe. The spirit of anarchy
has come of Legitimate parentage.
Those who have sat idly by, North
and South, and witnessed without
rebuke the burlesque of govern
ment perpetrated by statesmen (O
of the Vardaman- Tillman- Bailey
stripe, are reaping what they have
permitted to be sown,-and the
end is not yet. Not only the
South, but the entire nation, IS
facing a retributive justice that IS
unerring in its journey toward its
mark. Nothing short of a moral
awakening throughout the length
and breadth of the land will check
its onward march. Nothing but a
return to the principles of the
fathers of the Republic, with the
equality of all men before the law
as our national shibboleth, will
avert the terrible disaster that is
impending. Notwithstanding the
seriousness of the existing crisis,
the Negro is not panic-stricken;
he is not unduly excited. We are
a supremely patient people; we
await the logical outcome of this
era of humbug, hypocrisy, cant
and cruel oppression, with calm
