1.-THE north is even more response
ole for this oye:shsdowilg horror
than the south. Let 1t face the fsc:s
IS they are and cease this sloppy sen
u!uenssl talk about she elevation OF
the negro rs:e and tns leeo OF
salf control OF the part ct she South
srn Caucasian. E5nicsl considers

cal devices for the elevation Of the
negro are not entitled to moments

1.-THE fear OF immediate and dread
ful death is powerIes to control tie
brutal, degenersted negro when his
passions are aroused. lis mind is
zoo fssbIe and shallow to consider the
cocseouenoes OF his crims and the
oru.s IL him, clee awakened, rack-
oas nothing whatever Of 1utucs pun

in It's most terrifying form wnen

onruiDss snd sicze2ing ao-sure, does
cot i1apreSs itself upon this class for
noce than : very brtet time.
1T is tir1e for the north to bear a
hand in the solution cf the problem 1t
has literally shared in crsating. Il
can do SO By cessing to exploit the
negro as the white mans equal. II
can Go so by considering the mass OF
uesrcss il the south as tnsy are, not
as sentimentslisrs represent them &c
be. It can do 80 by discontinuing it:
senssless, fruit!ess attempt at higher
cultivation Of the negro. AS long al
:he Ysss majority OF the race in Sns
south remaios as il Is, the strong arc:
of white control nust bs strengthened
and encouraged to exsrt Itself.
The negro must Ce tsughU the ruol
nentary virtuos he bss forgotten be
