Negroes and the Flag.

The intemperant declarations of
Rev. Henry M. Turner, senior biship
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, at the annual conference in
Brooklyn, will not strike responsive
chord of approval among the great
mass of the members of his own race.
The bishop advocated the emigration
of negroes to Africa, because "the
United States is the most horrible
color prejudiced nation on the earth"
And then, in the heat of his wrath, he
declared, 81 used to love the United
States flag myself, but now despise
it," the reason for this change from
affection to hatred being, apparently,
the barbarous practice of lynching
which, the bishop ought to know, is
deprecated by the lawabiding and
better class of whites quite as much
as 1t is by the negroes themselves.
So far as the emigration of negroes
TO Africa Is concerned, there will con.
tinue to be difference of opinion about
that solution of the race problem,
even among the members of Bishop
Turner's own people. 1t 10 a matter
that does not need to be discussed
here. The bishops insult to the
American flag, however, Is quite
different affair. The flag Is the one
guarantee the negro has of equality
and protection under the law. If
members of the bishops race are
wrongfully punished by lynching, in
stead of having their causes heard by
due process of law, 1t is because state
and local authorities are unable or
disinclined to restrain an outraged
public sentiment. That is a matter
which the federal government, of
which the flag is representative, can
not lawfully control.
The stars and stripes, which Bishop
Turner debased himself by insulting,
Is the emblem of the union that made
him and his fellow black men free
from the bonds of slavery and clothed
them with civil and political rights
equal to those enjoyed by the whites.
II represents the federal authority
that now is his last and best protection.
It was his rescuer, and It is his friend
The average black man Is 40 patri
otic a. is his white fellow citizen
Wherefore self.respecting and intelli
gent negroes will be quick to resent
the imputation that they are a. un
grateful and reasonable as Bishop
Turner would have 1t appear.-Ohi'

not be found. The chestnut horse

Farrell eyed him thoughtfully. A

exposed portions Of the changeable
horse to q creamish hue, and finally
the truth dawned upon Emily--a hor-
rible truth, because 1t shattered more
than one idol.
She had, after all, purchased the
white horse. The rascally horse
dealer, determined to earn the extra
$50 offered by John, which. however,
the culprit had not yet collected, had
used bair-dye, or something equally
potent, to successfully disguise his
colorless horse.
