place of employment, the more in
tense the prejudice he excites.
If he is Industrious and accumu-
lates property, that fact also excites
the hostility of the poor white man.
IA correspondent in one newspaper
of large city, notices the fact that
the Afro-Amerlcan had invaded GER
tain "sWelT neighborhoods and was
buying property in the midst of white
people and he predicted that such
action would eventually result in ri
otings to which the Springfield hor-
ror would be mere bagatelle.
So what is the poor black man to
do? If he is lazy and vicious, all
join hands in denouncing him, but,
unless he commits some terrible
crime, he is comparatively immune.
But if he holds a job which some
white man thinks he ought to have
the Afro-American is in danger of
being riddled with bullets, or blown
up with dynamite. s
What is he to do?

SOME SOUTHERN HUMBUGs,

A high school teacher who found
the pupils coming to her from the
lower grades woefully deficient in the
elementary branches, took occasion
to visit the schools from which they
came, with a view to ascertaining
how they were trained in those
schools. She thus relates her dis
coveries. "They have been making
dolls furniture and school gardens,
and manual training school pies, and
models and locomotives and Paris
gowns. If I seem narrow-minded in
prefering a. knowledge of percentage
and the parts of speech, let me re-
mind you that the much commiserated
factory child also has learned to
work with his hands-and skillfully."
1t is with no intent to decry man

WHAT is HE TO DO?

Among the mutterings of the
Springfield mobocrats, was the COM
plant that the Afro-Americans were
holding jobs which white men ought
to have and the result was that many
Afro-Americans were, in consequence
thrown opt of their jobs A like con-
dition prevails in the South and dur
ing the last few weeks, many of the
race have been chased away from
lumber camps and other places of
employment. In some cases these lab
orers have been dynamited; in others
fired upon by concealed enemies.
Now THE APPEAL wishes to call
the attention of the friends of the
race who are always exhortipg the
Afro-American to be Industrious and
to labor with his hands, to what
happens when he, in good faith, takes
their advice.
To do so he exposes himself to
bullets and dynamite. He cannot de-
fend himself, and the civil authorities
will not defend him, so what is he to
do? The fact has been overlooked to
some extent, that the more the Afro
American becomes able to compete
with his brother in the shop or other

While there are, undoubtedly, we'll
attested instances Of outrages upon
white women upon the part of black
ruffians, amidst an immense num-
Der of others of dubious character,
yet it is an undoubted fact that more
Infamous outrages are perpetrated up
on the white woman by men Of her
own race than ever were charged to
the account; of the Afro-American
In proof of this assertion, we need to
call attention to the facts as to
white slavery" in Chicago. Those
facts show that men and women of
some note in the community were
engaged in this nefarious business
and guilty of the most atrocious wick
edness. Yet we have never heard
OF their being in any danger of
lynch-law or any other form Of mob
law. Some Of the guilty parties were
Jews, but no one proposed to wreak
vengeance upon the whole Jewish
race.

ual training that THE APPEAL calls
attention to he fact that the recent
trend in that direction has opened
up vast field for the operation of
the most arrant humbuggery. The
South is dotted, in many places with
sO-called manual training schools
which are atrocious humbugs. In
many cases these institutions are con-
Quoted by frauds who are alike ig-
norant of literature and mechanics
and their so-called manual training
is a transparent fraud
We once visited one of the institu-
lions which had most sonorous
name and which pretended to teach
trades all the way along with cleo
trical engineering at the apex. We
found ramshaclz1e three-roomed
house in an advanced stage of dilap-
idation. In one room there were a
few benches, and an old remnant of
printing press. In another there
was a variegated assortment of old
harness and dilapidated farm uten:
sils, while the third was crammed
with cotton-seed. The faculty con-
sisted of an itinerant preacher and
his wife; the latter also CONDUCTING
the boarding department. Such
things are common in the South.

EQUAL RIGHTS PLANK.

"The Republican party has
been for more than fifty years
the consistent friend Of the
Afro-American. 1t gave him
freedom and citizenship. 1t
wrote into the organic law the
declarations that proclaim his
civil and political rights, and it
believes today that his note
worthy progress in intelligence,
industry and good citizenship
has earned the respect and en-.
couragement Of the nation. We
demand equal justice for all
men, without regard to race or
color; we declare once more,
and without reservation, for the
enforcement in letter and spirit
OF the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution which were de-
signed for the protection and ad-
vancemnt Of the Afro-American,
and we condemn all devices
