stitute, who addressed an audience of 1900
persons, 500 of whom were white, at the lIlv-
ingston College commencement exercises.
II believe" said Washington, that while
the world may pity crying, whining race it
seldom respects it. Let constructive progress
be the dominant note among us in every sec.
ton of America. Just now what the race
wants is rot vision of despair, but d vision
of triumph; not picture ofoppression, but an
inspiration to overcome difficulties.
THE negro, the Irishman, the Jew. the
German, the Italian, residing in the North
and West, put forth every effort to cultivate
and retain the friendship of their neighbors,
and the negro in the South should pursue the
same policy.
1.-The indiscriminate condemnation of all
white people on the part of any member of
our race is suicidal and dangerous policy.
We must learn to discriminate. We have

and we should emphasize and magnify the

An Historical Parallel.

The New York World pretends to have
reliable information that Thomas Fortune
Ryan, of Virginia, is in the field as
candidate for the Presidency. The grounds
upon which this information is based are
not exposed, but it is incidentally men
toned that, among other elements of his
strength, is the strong Catholic following
he would undoubtedly command. This is
a very slender reed and has never before
been pleaded in behalf of any candidate,
except in the memorable instance of Chief
Justice Roger Brooks fancy, in whose
case it proved fatal Any student of our
politics knows that religion is thing quite
apart from party allegiance, and that any
pretension Of privilege depending upon
church influence must inevitably arouse
wide resentment. Considered from this
point of view, the announcement in the
World may be regarded as an attack
on Ryan's availability, although his church
connections are not quoted against him, nor
is it clear from anything revealed in the
Worlds exposure that he is in fact can
didate. If he is in truth a candidate, some
more substantial grounds than those given
by the World must be found for him to
stand upon.
The history of the efforts of the friends
and admirers of Chief Justice Roger Brooks
fancy in the same field of endeavor in
which the World now says Mr.. Ryan is
active, is commended to the enthusiastic
friends of the ambitious Virginian.
