rights of man above those of proper

is considered to be the most progress

ed away. and at last nothing remained
for him but to beg from door to door
for the iood that was necessary to
keep life in his body.
The clergyman's heart was filled
with pity. The poor man seemed to be
honest, and after being furnished with
good meal he was asked where a
message would reach him. He gave
an address and went away.
Then the preacher sat down to
think the matter over. He knew of
no work that he could find for the
man, but he decided to invent Job.
This gentle fiction could continue
until something turned up, and In the
meantime the unfortunate one would
not have to be humiliated by knowing
that he was living on charity.
Accordingly the next day the
preacher sent a message to the luck

LIVING OVER A VOLCANO.

Senator Tillman has given voice to
the fear that is ever present in the
minds of Southern whites when he
declaims against the manner in which
the presidents action has aroused a
wave of race feeling over the country.
1t takes no deep observation to see
that Negroes have begun to strike
back harder and harder and that they
have resolved less and less to turn
the other cheek. Tillman for once is
right. The two races are in this coun.
try and no one but dreamer looks
forward to separation by deportation
or determination. 1t is good sense for
both to do the things which will cause
the least friction. The president has
given the greatest impetus to the class
lHdt stth W uO US HdIIu Uy MS tTedt-
ment of the colored soldiers. We do
not mean to say that he had any such
purpose but such will be the effect.
Northern people who do not live in the
fevered atmosphere Of the South and
do not know what 1t means to have
to maintain supremacy over an equal
population Of blacks by resorting to
force, cannot sympathize with the ap-
peal of the South Carolina senator for
a cessation of class agitation.
Just here is the meat of the whole
race situation. Agitation, though it
may at first may work harm to us,
will hasten the day of adjustment Of
forces and In that equilibrium. II we
survive the test, will be our real en-
iraHchisement.

SIMON GUGGENHElM, SENATOR.

Colorado has at last chosen a Re

fallen on Simon Guggenheim, man
who has been identified with one of
the great industries of the state, and
one whose Republicanism is such that
we consider that the party is happy
in its choice.
Like all who succeed, he has been
the target OF envious business and
political foes and goes into Office after

the more bitter because 1t was hope

we will believe in him until his own

So far as his colored constituents

the case in the enterprises with which
he has been connected, and a man
who gives us employment needs no
