Only Ono Great Race on Earth.

1t was Drummond. we believe. who
wished that he could get into the mind
Of the Negro and learn what he is
thinking about. But this opportunity
will never be possible to any white
man who has not time to study the
Negro. normal and abnormal. or who
cannot get away from his insane race
prejudices long enough TO enable him
to see the Negro as man" who only
differs from other men In the color of
his skin and the texture OF his hair
The only great race on earth is the
human race. The only race that has
made other races think deeply and
seriously is the black race.-Bruce
Grit.

Dr.. Ernest Lyon. American Minister Il
Liberia. In Address at New York
Says the Negro Can Survive the
Struggle For Existence Here
and Should Remain.
By N. B. DODSON.

In recent ADDRESS De10re St Mark
Lyceum in New York Or. Ernest Lyon
American minister and resident consul
general at MOnrovia, Liberia, speaking
Oh emigration Of the American Negro
TO Africa, said:
In regard to the struggle which is
now on between the two races two Ques
tions are suggested-yiz: Can the race
survive the struggle? If it cannot, is
it wise for it to remain?
These in turn suggest a third, II
emigration, whittier?
Can the race survive the struggle
for existence, in which are pitted
against it in the most formidable man,
ner mind and matter, men and money,
laws and institutions, together with
every other device which the ingenuity
of the other race can invent? | answer
emphatically yes. The fittest will sur
vive 1t is impossible to annihilate ter
millions of people.
The ancient Britons Cicero describ
ed as being dull, stupid and fit only fol
slaves. No one would have thought
that from the latter race would come
the masters and conquerors of the
earth; that their literature would have
become the cream Of the human intel
lect and their language the most popu.
lar on the globe.
Il would rather be a Negro than
anything else and to be where the
struggle is the tiercest The hope OF
triumph through manly endeavors
should furnish inspiration to endure
hardships as a good soldier and citizen
Let us admit, however, by way OF
argument, that the Negro cannot sur.
vive. What then? Would you advise
him to remain in a land in which he
seems doomed to discrimination and
humiliation and perhaps to extinction,
as the social scientist would express it!
| answer this question in the atfirma'
tive. | would advise him to remain
until he was thoroughly convinced thai
he could better his condition by going
to some other country.
What are the reasons advanced tc
justify Negro emigration from the
United States? Two-the white mans
reason, general unacceptability on ac'
couns of race and color with this we
cannot deal in this paper; second, the
black mans reason, prejudice.
This is the most comprehensive
term that can be employed. All seem
agreed that prejudice against race
and color, arising from previous con
dition of servitude, is the root Of the
evil. This is the Indictment and the
only one that can be made against the
people of the United States. But l dc
not think the situation will be helped
any by declaring that the evil is uni.
versal
what imputation can be brought, &c
far as the country itself is concerned,
against the territorial adequacy Of its
resources for the livelihood OF Its citi-
Zens without any reference to race, coloI
or previous condition Of servitude?
What indictment can be brought
against the abundance Of opportuni.
ties i'm almost every sphere of influence
