As.YE SOW, so SHALL TE REAP.

All persons acquainted with race
conditions in the South are aware
that in that section miscegenation
has prevailed to vast extent. Pub
lie sentiment made no protest against
this condition of things, and, indeed,
it was by many Southern thinkers
stoutly maintained that it was in
reality a benefit, that the sacrifice of
the virtue of the black woman was
almost an absolute protection of the
purity of the white woman. This was
regarded as an admirable disnensa-
tion of Providence, showing His high
regard for the superior" race. But
it is evident from an article in one
of the magazines that such views in
the matter are changing. The con-
tention of the article is simply this,
that the young white man. by his
illicit intercourse with the black wom-
an contracts a "socis,l disease" which
by subsequent marriage, he communi-
Gated to the white woman; and that
to an APPALLING extent. From this
cause there resulted such diseases as
tuberculosis, locomotor ataxia and in
fantile blindness.
If. there is any truth in the matter
it shows that the South is still pay
ing the penalty of it's violation of the
laws of God in slavery days.

ABSURD ARGUMENTS.

The relation of the larger universi.
ties Of the United States to the prac.
tical problems of existence is being
emphasized in an astonishing degree
nowadays. If the notion of clustered
halls where pale-faced students porel
over musty tones once held sway
that idea has entirely disappeared
The dominant thought appears to be-
how can the training of the schools
be made most useful in bettering the
conditions of human life.-Chicagc
Tribune.
THE APPEAL quotes the foregoing
as an excellent sample of absurd ar
gunents respecting education. It is
based upon the assumption that edu
cational courses that 'tonce held
sway had no relation to the 'condi
-tions of human life"
But, when a pale-faced student dis
covered vaccination, had the discov.
cry no relations to those conditions?
When pale-faced students banished
the plague from London and lighted
her streets with gas, did that have no
relation to the conditions of l1fe?.
When pale-faced students translated
the Bible did that have no relation to
those conditions?
When a pale-faced student studied
the vibrations of the pendulum, did
that have no relation to such condi-
tions?
When pale-faced student invented
printing with movable type, Gid that
have no such relation?

1.-THE THINKING clTlzENs,,

The Louisville Courier-Journal is
not delighted with the fact of Sheriff
Shipp having made am ass of him
self, but evidently admires the action
of Gov. Deneen. who removed the
Cairo sheriff from office. The Cour-
ier-Journal intimates that the Shipp
ovation "does not reflect the spirit of
the thinking citizens of Chattanooga.
But unfortunately the aforesaid
thinking citizens' are such towards

their thoughts; land such moral cow
ardice exists all over the South.

ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF IN.
FERlORITY.

Such cultured, refined and intelli-
gent Southern gentlemen as Tillman,
jeff Davis and Heflin continue to
prate about the inferiority of the At
rro-Amcrican.
THE APPEAL begs to call their at
tention to some recent doings of one
Of the "inferior'' race, and little girl
at that.
Estelle T. Gibbs, a fourteen-year-old
black girl won the first prize, a gold
medal at the graduating exercises of
the Hobolen, N. j., public schools.
She had the highest average of any
other public school pupil in the city
99h per cent in six subjects.
In all but one of her studies the
girl was rated at 100. In geography
she made SO. The five branches in
which she reached the maximum were
history, civics, spelling, arithmetic
and grammar.
Eighteen questions were posted at
the geography examination, and the
pupils had the privilege of selecting
ten to answer. The teacher who con-
Quoted the examination says that Els
telle picked out the ten hardest.
There are 10000 Caucasian chill
dren and only Is Afro-Americans in
the public schools of Hoboken.
We presume Mr.. Vardanan, of
Mississippi, is too busy trying to break
into the United States Senate to pay
much attention to uhis new evidence
Of Afro-American inferiority.

MADE FOR "NlGGERs."

DR.. Oscar Haywood, who has made
a study Of prevailing conditions in the
South, doubts the sincerity of the
whites who make and administer the
law. He found that everywhere there
is prohibition for the Afro-American
and license for the white.
DR.. Haywood has sized up the stu.
alton exactly. "A Northern man was
once visiting a friend in the South
and noticed that the friend had a
great big pistol under his coat-tail,
'Why, jones'; said he, IL thought your
law prohibited carrying concealed
weapons eyes, it: does" said the
friend, ''but that law was made fo1
niggers."
And the so-called prohibition laws
are made for saniggers.'
