The Black Touch.

Legend tells us of a king who
was so endowed that everything
he touched turned to gold. Per-
haps in many years to come,
there may be legend handed
down to the generations yet to
be telling of a people who once
lived in place called America
which had what might be call the
Black Touch. The popularity Of
the touch is that anyone not of
that race coming il contact with
it was forever undone.
That certainly seems to be the
case now. There is no white
man in the State today who is in
public or semi public life that
dares stand out boldly for abso-
lutte fair and squire dealing with
the Negro according to the privi-
leges of an American citizen.
There are many who believe i n
such but they sing it low for fear
Of the BLACK Touch.'
Most every legislator takes
pans to see that he speaks
and votes so that in after years
the ghost Of this spectre does
not rise up against him. Es-
pecially will this be done now
because Of the character of the
last campaign for governorship.
1t is really amusing to see just
how a recommendation for a lit
tie money for Negro education
is couched, it seems that every
line is all but an apology, Oh,
if such conditions did not exist!
How good would it be if things
could just go on their merits.
Who would not feel better? Who
would not say that it would be
better for all concerned? May
the power of the BLACK Touch"
soon pass away and be forgotten.

The Peabody Fund.

= We doubt very much whether
Mr.. Peabody would have left his
millions just in the manner he
did in 1866 if he could have fore
seen the manner in which it has
been handled. Not that the fund
hasn't been honestly used but
rather the manne'. Although
given for the help Of the entire
population Of the South, the Ne
gro. when the totals are consid-
cred, has been treated as though
he was not a large part of that
population. Furthermore there
seems to have been certain mem
hers Of the board whose chic f
object was to see just what plans
they could carry through that
would give as little to the Negro
as possible.
If there is any part Of the
South's population that needed
the money Of this Yankee philan-
thropist, it certainly is the Me-
gro. There is not a real normal
school in the whole South for
the training Of colored teachers
maintained by any of the States,
and yet that board never attemp-
ted to establish one. The idea
seems seems to prevail that the
Negro can just teach any how.
But it is different when it comes
to other races, training of the
best is necessary. And now there
