Giles Jackson, Missionary.

Hurrah for Giles jackson! He Is n
good virginian, and he has given the
Yankee negroes timely and singing
rebuke There is no bad blood between
the decent white folks and the decent
black folks OF Virginia. We believe that
there is less Of race antagontsm in Wiz
ginia than there is In Massachusetts.
II there is any serious friction between
the whites and blacks OF Virginia, we
are not aware OF It. There Is certainly
no evidence OF il In Richmond. Yet q
handful of negroes in Massachusetts, are
holding up the bill in the Legislature APP
propriating a sun, OF money for an cx-
hibit at the jamestown Exposition, be-
cause of the suffrage laws of Virginia.
Giles Jackson made visit to Boston.
appeared before the committee which has
the bill in hand. and entered his protest
against such prejudice and sectional
spirit Moreover, the colored Virginian
wanted to know what his Massac husetts
brethren had to do with Virginia laws,
anyway. His speech must have been a
STARTER to his Boston audience Yet II
was not new topic. Many years ago
white men in Virginia asked the New
Englanders much the same question that
Jackson put to them 80 pointedly But
that is another story.
BY the way, We observe in the Boston

commenting on the recent race riots in
Springfield, Ohio. He says that he was
| for several years pastor of colored
church In that town, and knows the con-
ditions we'll.
When all the heat and excitement
| have subsidized, says he, what I ex-
press now will be found to be the truth.
| Sprinffield, like all other cities North and
South where the two races live together
! has its disreputable negroes and its dis
reputable white people. These elements
in every part and section OF the United
states, consort together. But the root Of
the trouble In Springfield Is by no
means due to disreputable and vicious
negroes. II is due TO the envy and Jeal-
ousy OF some OF the whites OF the thrift
and prosperity Of some OF the blacks"
There is no such feeling among the
whites OF Virginia, as is abundantly tes-
tilted by the fact that the colored people
of this State are to have prominent
part In the Jamestown Exposition. and
will make a special exhibit to show the
progress and prosperity Of their race.
We repeat X: Hurrah for Giles Jack
son of Virginia! He IS doing excellent
missionary work in New England.
