fects and may come back sometime
in the shape Of discriminating and re-
pressive laws and finally in the with
drawal of all civil and political rights
from the race.
There are in the United States a
few individuals who have proved
themselves to be true Christians, but
the. alleged Caucasian Christian
Church ii this country justified slav-
cry and has never taken a decided
stand for the rights of men.
The Y. M. G. A. people in many
Northern communities are endeavor-
ing to seggregate the Afro-American,
thus proving that in one respect the
Association is not a Christian organ
izaticn,z aa.
If Afro-Americans think that an or
ganization similar to the Y. NJ. C. A..
is needed in any particular commu-
nifty, they should form one and call it
by some other name. Under no cir.
cumstances should they have any con-
nection with the Central Y. M. c. A.,
which as rule in cities where there
are colored branches, admits to the
central organization members from all
branches except the colored branch.
To become a branch of an organiza-
ticn which discriminates is to admit
inferiority.
That Afro-Americans should be-
come parties to the segregation plan
is inconceivable, yet many are doing
so. THE APPEAL believes that
these members of the race, who are
in many instances, intelligent people,
are misguided and after they have
carefully considered the matter and
see the perils the plan entails will
about face and refuse to segregate
themselves.
Better call a halt now. Unless seq
regation is stopped it will continue to
grow and it is not impossible that
within ten years the jimcrow car will
roll into Chicago.
Men and women of the race, con-
slider we'll your actions!

A WHITE SKIN NO EVIDENCE OF
MORALITY.

The immortality of the Afro-Ameri-
can is a favorite topic for discussion
by moralists of other races; and in
deed is the cause assigned as the
necessity for grandfather clauses and
Jim crow laws.
The most ardent advocate for the
denounced race must admit that few
OF the statements are true, but when
comparison is made between the
races, we at once enter upon debat-
able ground and there is room for
argument.
A vast number of proofs can be
abducted to show that a white skin
is by no means an evidence of high
moral attachments: one of which we
shall at once produce
1t requires the vast number of 27O,-
900 prostitutes to supply the demand
in the three cities of London, Berlin
| and Paris. The average life of a
prostitute is five years. Out; of the
foregoing number 10000 attempt
suicide and one-fourth of the latter
number succeed. At the end of five
years the number must be recruited
and mainly on account of the poverty
of the. working classes, the supply is
readily obtained The girl who was
! raised in luxury and has been re-
duced to poverty rarely escapes being
the victim of those circumstances.
A host of professional traf1ickers
is continually on the alert to supply
the market and many well-intentioned
girls are actually entrapped and en-
meshed as to be forced to yield. Not
a few parents are base enough to con-
sent to the degradation of their off,
spring, for the sake of filthy lucre.
Not only this, but the notorious
prevalence of divorce in the highest
ranks Of society, is an evidence of
easy virtue not much better than &C.
tual public prostitutes. We need not
specify cases-the woods are full of
them. If the testimony of travellers
is worthy of credit, prostitution is the
vice of civilization.

THE LYING SOUTHERN EDITOR

One OF the severest tests of the in.
genuity of the Southern editor is the
lying rendered necessary by every
case of lynching that occurs. He
knows that he is depended upon to
present the thing in plausible man
ner for the benefit of the world at
large and to make it appear that the
crime committed was of such appall-
ing atlocity that the highly respecta-
bic people who avenged it were en-
tirely justifiable, that the evidence
was completely satisfactory and that
the affair was conducted with dignity
and good taste.
BY diligent and frequent practice,
the Southern editor has became per-
feet in his role and can do the aeces-
sary lying in the finest kind of style.
Hence the truth in regard to such
matters almost never comes to the
light. (: would not do to astonish
the world with the real truth about
many such occurrences.

RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOMI

RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOME,
We welcome with pleasure every
Indication of disposition on the
part of the Southern brother to treat
the Afro-American with fairness and
justice and such an instance recently
occurred in the state of Arkansas. A
difficulty took place between a white
man and and an Afro-American. La
ter the white man went to the Afro
Americans house and shot at him.
The Afro-American returned the fire
and wounded the white man. The
jury awarded the Afro-American two
years in the penitentiary. Judge A.
B. Grace set aside the verdict and
ruled that the Afro-American had the
same right to defend his home as the
white man had; so he discharged the
prisoner. At first glance the forego.
ing may seem a rather unimportant
matter, but we pronounce it one of
supreme Importance and know that it
required no little courage upon the
part Of the judge to take such, action.

THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN Ed
TORS,

It is remarkable fact that the eau
casion editors persist in speaking of
the Afro~Americans of the United
States as if they were as wild, ig-
norant and uncultivated as the tribes
of the jungles of Africa. For in
stances the Washington Herald says:
'The Negro does not know by in
heritance or early training how to
care for himself, either as to temper
azure or sanitation. He still needs
supervision and instruction, even COM
pulsory, in such affairs of self-preser-
!vation.' ~
The foregoing is true in reference
to large fraction of the race, just as
it is true Of very large number of
both races. So far as the North is
concerned, there is very little differ
ence in the intelligence or mode of
living CT members of the two races, if
we compare individuals of about equal
means of living. It would be hard to
find, in any part of the United States,
any Afro-Americans who need super
vision and instruction as to sanitary
matters so badly as the miners in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac-
cording to the testimony of credible
witnesses, the miners live in condi-
ton Of utter disregard Of the rules of
decency or hygiene. The case of the
Afro-American is not peculiar one;
as general thing he compares, class
by class, very well with his white
neighbors.

SEPARATE Y. NJ. C. AIS,

There may be some excuse for the
separate Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION in the South, where the line
between the races is distinctly drawn
but in the North there is no justifca-
ton for their existence.
The Afro-Americans who are urging
the establishment Of separate Y. M.
G. AS are making a grave mistake.
They should consider the question
from every angle before using their
influence in favor of a movement
which will be farreaching in its eff
