A DIVINE REALITY.

The Religion Of the Southern
Negroes, slave or free, was and
is divine reality. During the
late war it was pure and strong
enough to secure peace and safe
ty to women and children on the
plantations while the men were
fighting under a flag which did
not promise freedom to them. For
this the just and good hold them
in everlasting and grateful re-
membrance. And we may be quite
sure that they understood what
the war meant in it's relations to
them. They may not have out
grown their superstitions, but
the school-house and the Bible
will do for them what they have
done for all people drive out the
evil and cruel spirits of supersti-
tion The late Bishop Haygood.

II WAS EVER THUS.
Ehe Bourbons spank be-
cause Little and Weak.

The Baltimore evening Sun of
July 81, in an editorial on Haiti
and Mexico remarks:
1T seems a little hard on Haiti that
we should spank that minstrel reDub-
lie because it is little and weak. while
we leave Mexico alone because we are
afraid some Of our boys might get
hurt"
While it may be hard yet it is
strictly in keeping with the Bour
bon instincts Of the southern
wing of the Democratic party
who, with President Wilson are
running the government. The
Democratic party is pre-. eminent
ly bourborn. 1t imposes upon lit
tie Haiti just as it has always i'm
posed upon the black man in this
country because he is little and
weak But the black man, and
the colored races of the earth are
surely coming into their own. Our
estlmable neighbor performs a
gracious service on our behalf in
that It makes perfectly plain that
race-feeling is the cause of such
intervention in Haiti. rather than
a love for justice and order. For
1t says in the same editorial from
which we quote;
There is Mexico where the ruction
and r1otlng and Staying has been far
more extensive than in Haiti and
where Americans and foreigners have
suffered far more damage and out
