and "The Appeal quotes it as being

HERR WEIsMAN's THEORY.

Herr Weisman, very wise er
otherwise German has promulgated
the theory that while mans body is
not immortal, a part of it is, and this
part, which the German savant calls
the germplasm, lis handed down i'm
mortal and continuous, from genera
ton to generation, unbroken and un-
changed-except in certain circum.
stances-by the adventures Of the
body itself in the surroundings, or
environment, in which it lives"
:. One Lane, Southern writer,
adopts this theory and evolves from
it the following conclusion:
But to attempt the civilization OF
the Chinese, the Japanese, the Negro,
or the Malay, in the belief that they
may be elevated to an equality with
the white man, is a hopeless and
senseless undertaking, because racial
differences go to the very origin OF
life, and are found to exist in The
very substance from generation tic
generation"
Now in the case of the Japanese
1T is an admitted fact that in disci
pine and patriotism they are fa1
ahead of the white man. To ignore
such evident facts and to adopt an
absurd theory Of body partly morta

RIGHTS OF AFRo-AMERIcANS.


1.-THE republican platform refers
to these amendments to the Con-
stitution that were passed by the
republican party for the protec-
ton Of the Afro-American. The
Afro-American, in the forty years
since he was freed from slavery,
has made remarkable progress.
He is becoming more and more
valuable member of the COM
munities in which he lives. The
education of the Afro-American
is being expanded and improved
in every way. The best men Of
both races, at the north as we'll
as at the south, ought to rejoice
to see growing up among the
southern people an influential eIe-
ment disposed to encourage the
Afro-American in his hard strug-
gle for industrial independence
and assured political status. The
republican platform. adopted at
Chicago, explicitly demands JUS
tice for all men without regard
to race or color, and just as ex-
pIicitiy declares for the enforce
ment, and without reservation, in
letter and spirit of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t is
needless to state that stand
with my party squarely on that
plank in the platform, and believe
that equal justice to all men and
the fair and impartial enforce
ment Of these amendments are
in keeping with the real Ameri-
can spirit Of fair piay.-Hon.
