WINK WE SHOULD SUPPORT FOR
AKER.
To the Editor Of the Advocate:

To the Editor Of the Advocate:
The failure, at this time, on the
part Of any colored person, to lend
his or her support and influence to
the candidacy Of Senator Foraker is,
In my opinion, due to either an I'M
usual amount OF ignorance incompat-
IDLE with the progress Of the age,
which can hardly be said, or great
unlimited amount OF ingratitude,
which would seem to be inconsistent
with his nature and past history.
In my judgment this is the sublime
moment for united action on the part
Of the Negro in America on a ques-
ton upon which he stands not alone.
On this proposition, the great ma
jority, regardless OF race or color
are highly in favor Of the theory that
fun and free investigation Of the
Brownsville affair should have been
made ere the discharge OF so many
innocent and honorable men from
the service Of the United States army.
This is the first time for many
years, perhaps more than thirty,
where the issuehtOa Which the Negro
was q party has been go shaped that
great maioritYyof the opposite race
could without prejudice for or
against him on ACCOUNT OF, color, but

Justice to all e1fal and fixed, join

with the customary derision, that
the course Of Senator Foraker is in
the interest and on behalf OF the col
ored people, only, for the matter In
question is Of such r. character as
to invite the attention and serious

THE NEWER SENTIMENT

Very shortly Senator Foraker will
Introduce bill in the Senate for
the restoration Of the Negro soldiers
who were discharged without honor
last year, discharged not only with
out honor, but without a trial, and
after a Texas grand jury had failed
to tndict them. This very fact is
an important part which the cham
Dions Of the soldiers, we think have
not dwelt upon sufficiently, especially
In view Of the fact that in addition
to the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, the soldiers have been on
trial before stubborn, and in some
cases, an unsympathetic public opin-
Ion. We care not, however, to re-
hash the old story, although it can
never be,told too often. What we set
out TO do was to record the change,
lgappy and gratifying, in public
ppinion, especially throughout the

OUR OPPOSITION Is COMPLETE.

We had mind for ''Uncle Joe"

alone, we thought the very saviour Ot
the republican party. We said we
loved him; we did more than that,
we fairly idolized him. Then came
his Greensboro interview last year,
wherein he said 1t was all right to
rdisfranchise the Negro, and Was some
what surprised that he wasn't given
his walking papers long before he re-
ceiVed them at the point Of musket.
Some how We have ben trying TO
forget that or disbelieve 1t. 1t didn't
sound like "Uncle joe; and yet the
dear old fellow never said he didn't
say it; and examination Of his rec
ord for fifty years failed to set up
that he couldn't have said it with
perfect ease. Yet we hoped on I'M
til here last Sunday. The New York
Sun sets us completely against him.
Obdurately we take our stand. We
are opposed to Satan and those who
work for him, or must work for
him. Uncle Joe is in debt to him,
and therefore he is unfit to be presi-
dent. How can a man serve two mas
tiers? Can he? The Book is against
him. The Sun testifies openly:
Most Of the cartoonists picture
Speaker Cannon as swinging his CAV
Ell with his light hand, when it is
notorious that the Speaker is left

with his right once in a thousand
times.

MANS HIGHEST WORK.

Alter al 1t Is oaly when men ben
eft themselves In. behalf of the free
dom OF God'sSchildRen, and of law
and a proper and sincere observance
of the organic enactment under
which men here or there live and
labor. that they so behave as to not
only excite the pen of the historian,
but bring to themselves the least;
ffrraatgraance Of that personal. satisIac-
ton for which men crave and strive
and the absence Of which IS a sign
Of inward grief and often helping de-
spair. Justice Moody of the United
States Supreme Court, formerly At
torney General, was relating only a
few days ago to prominent lady in
Washington his part in the battle
against Southern peonage, the new
and happier name for slavery, almost
matching the abhorent bondage from
which the nation escaped by wading
through sea of blood. Wheeling to
his friend, as she arose to go, having
found the information she sought,
the justice in trembling voice and
shaking gesture observed: And do
you know, madam, that the only
thing in my whole life worth while
or that gives me any kind Of salts
faction is the part I took in the fight
against Deonage. If I am to be re-
membered, | must be remembered
by that"
And it is even so. 1t has always
been so, and will forever be that
way. Men whose names find place
on the pages Of the real history of
this country, or any other country
are those whose most glorious days
were dedicated and devoted to help
ing the weak; to preaching righteous
ness and crying down those who
would dethrone the inyiolable temple
Of man. T. Thomas Fortune, a phil
osopher beyond his kin, said to the
writer in the immediate regency that
mans only problem was the problem
Of his relationship to the earth be-
meath his feet and to his God over
head! And he is correst, is he not?
| We do believe that in the early
and promising future there will be
men to rise up and dedicate them
selves to bringing the nation back to
justice and to the conserving princi-
| pies laid down in the simple but suf-
hcient sermons Of Him who went
about proclaiming liberty and perfect
| freedom. If Justice Moody got his
only satisfaction from his work in
seeking to break up peonage in the
south, how much greater would
have been the satisfaction, how less
transient the fame, IL be had thrown
his power and influence against those
laws Of the South that deny to darker
men the privileges which belong to
them as citizens of the republic?
Mr., Justice Moody had an opportun-
lty to live on with Sumner with Will
son and Wendell Phillips. and other
Boston boys! He may yet serve IL
berty on the bench.
We shah not be surprised If some
day Booker Washington, he Of the
great personalities OF his century
announces to the world that hence
forth he will preach liberty without
mockery, freedom anhindered. He
