Christian, and true race lover. He
always contributed literally of his

and influence to anything that tended
to promote the interest of his race.
He was industrious and frugal having
bought and paid for the home in which
he lived The funeral services were
conducted from the residence Thurs
day afternoon by Rev. Withers. Mr..
Robertson leaves a wife and sister in
this city to mourn his loss.

CHURCH UNION

Gates the reunion of the branches of

1T would be vastly better if the
northern church would leave this work
to the care Of those who understand it
best and among whom the Negro must
live and work" =.
A chemist who had never seen water
except in fluid condition would not
be recognized as being a scientist as
to its nature and qualities, and, re-
speeding the Afro-American, the south
erners are in exactly his condition.
They know him and know him we'll, as
an ignorant slave: as an intelligent
freeman, they know nothing whatever
about him-they have had no expert
enoe with him in that condition And
their peculiar habits of thought and
WronS education will keep them for
ever in that condition.. Moreover, in
case Of a so-called union, the northern
branch, by virtue Of it's majority. in
telligence and wealth, would FREEDOM
mate; and the southern brother has q
great horror Of yankee domination.

THE AFRICAN HELL

The condition Of Africa is most de-
plorable. The white nations are Chris
tianizing the dark continent, with g.
vengeance. They have divided it out
and are plundering, stealing and muir
dering as recklessly as the Old Goths
and Vandals, and as renorselessly as
Genghis Khan. Of all these plumber
ers, the Belgians are the most upscru-
pulous and cruel-horun1 omnum for
tissimi stunt BeEsae, with the Portu-
guese as close seconds. There have
been attempts to refute the charges
made against the officials Of the Congo
Free State; but every such attempt
has brought forth additional proof Of
their truth, Of the strongest kind And
the United States looks on with 1r:-
ruHled complacency, though largely re-
sponsible for the condition OF things
in Africa, and adopts resolutions as
to the condition of the Jews in Russia,
for which condition she is to no ex-
tent responsible. 1t makes a good
deal Of difference as to whose OK is
gored.

WORKING TIE CHILDREN.

In his speech to the Officials of the
Labor convention, Gov. Guild, of Mass
achusetts, made the following remark:
Healthy competition between New
York and Georgia is impossible as long
as textiles spun and woven by adults
in the North are forced to compete
with textiles spun and woven by little
children in the South"
The above indicates how an antagon-
ism between the North and the South
is, in some cases, forced by circum-
stances not under the control of either
party. The South does not wish the
Afro-American to have any resource
except the cotton patch, and therefore
excludes him from the factories and
supplies his place with little white
children. 1t might be claimed that
that is no Cne's business but that of
the people down south. But that it
is the business Of somebody else is
proved by the fact the Massachusetts
adults are sufferers from the policy.
So in many other instances, the white
man is struck by the missile aimed at
the AfrO-American.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1906.
WEALTH DOES NOT LESSEN PREF
lJDJCE

In a recent issue of the Christian
Recorder, a. M. E. Church, among
other things it said:
when the Afro-Americans own as
much property as the whites, and do
proportionately as much business they
will not only be the economic equals
of the whites, but will be recognized
though their skins be as black as ink.
To-Day only half Of the Afro-American
race can read and write, while but
five siNteenths Of the whites are I'LL
torate When the Afro-American be-
comes as intelligent as the white man,
his ccnQuests in the world of thought
will be as great as those Of the whites
without regard to his color, and he
will be the white mans equal.
1t seems to THE APPEAL that the
Recorder postpones the good time
coming to q very remote period and
suggests the idea that the time when
he viii be the white mans equal will
racial Drejudices are not based 1pon
intelligence or ignorance, wealth or
poverty The Jews Of Russia are
white; yet they are slaughtered like
wild beasts. Many of them are veal
thy, but they fare no better, in man,
cases much worse, than the lower
classes. The acquisition of education
and wealth is of course of the great
est Importance as it enables the Afro
American to avoid the consequences
Of the white mans prejudice by teach

Referring to the case OF the Chinese
student who was killed by falling from
Boston street-car, the Herald says:
1T is much to be hoped that no wrong
Interpretation of the incident shall be
communicated to his home that would
create suspicion OF prejudice against
him on account of his race. Much
sympathetic interest has been felt by
Our people in this colony and its Dur-
pose, and special care has been exer-
c1sed to make the young men comfort
able and cCntented'
We are glad to notice all such in
dlcations that our white brother hnds
it expedient to have some regard to
the opinions Of people of cff-color,
and we join in wishing that the Incl
dent may not be misinterpreted at
home. But would it not have been
much better if the usages of this coun-
try in regard to the treatment Of dark
skinned races had been such as to
guarantee that no such wrong inter
probation could occur?
