which distinguish them.

As the predominant character

Anglo-Saxon or English-man
courage and tenacity of purpose:l
with the Germanic tribes, stolid-
ity and fortitude; with the French
man, vivacity, intellectual acute
ness; with the Monaghan, patience
persever rance with endless capa-
bility for minutia and detail: with
the Malay or Brown Race, courage,
heroism, daring intrepidlty.
shrewdness; with the Indian, cour,
age, honor, fortitude, self-esteem,
faithfulness; with the Negro, hui
NOR, cheerfulness, submission
and unbounded faith in some hid
den occult power.
While the traits peculiar to the
different Races may distinguish
them one from the other, ability
in the sense we now use it is not
thereby determined. Nearly all
history with which we are CONVEX
SAINT is an exaggerated recital OF
the wonderful and aw-inspirlng
achievements of the proud, naughty
domineering Caucasian.
We know of their courage and
heroism in war: their brilliant
success in all of the peaceful arts;
| while philosophy, science, religl-
ion, politics, government, law
medicine all pay tribute to their
commanding genius. In the arts
of peace and civilization by the
accepted standards of this age, he
stands pre-eminent; but his civil
| ization is ante-dated by both the
| Monaghan, Malay and the East
Indian for thusands of years.
The Mongolians were highly
civilized people, when the ances-
tors of present race of whites we're
naked savages, living in caves and
subsisting on reptiles, toads and
insects. The most notable illustra-
ton of the Malay or Brown Race,
the Japanese, have had astable gov
eminent longer than England; they
we're a free people when the blue
eyed, fair-skinned, flaxen-haired
Saxons were the serfs of the Nor
mans.
Nearly all the organized govern
ments among the white races are
parvennes besides the unchanging
line of Mikados, descended from
the Emperor Jinimu, who rul'
ed when Rome was century old.
If the Jews were still Nation
and descendant of Moses, thelr
king, he would mean to them
what the Mikado means to the
Japanese.
India inhabited by people, in
physical traits, closely resembling
| the N. American aborigines is the
cradle of civilization. Here all
the arts of peace, religion, philos-
ophy, the highest culture and re-
finement fourished when the an
cestors of the present white race,
roamed European and Asiatic
wilds clothed in hear skins, the
club their only weapon, the cave
their only abode.
Africa, Familiarity termed the
Dark Continent. the Negroes ma
tive habitat, furnishes numerous
instances of the past grandeur and
magnifcence of a people, either
pure.blooded Negroes or so mixed
with Negro blood that the Negro
can pe given the credit. In the
Negro Family group there are
many varieties. All black people
are not Negroes nor all Negro
black: hor have they all the physi-
cal peculiarities, the mental, NOR
al and intellectual traits, which
are loudly claimed by nearly all
Caucasian writer's, as distinguish
ing marks of the Negro. The Negro
is now considered to be one of the
oldest races in the world, evidence
of its existence in prehistoric times
having been recently discovered
