Saturday we honor the memory OF
/ one who, in the estimation of the the
American Negro, stand without peer
among the leaders of his race and ranks
with the great orators, reformers and
statesmen of history--Frederick Doug
lass He was supposed to have been
horned in February, 1877; but no one
knows the date of his birth or his faith
er,s name. Such trifes were seldom re-
corded Of slaves. In accordance with
the custom which has prevailed since
his death, his birthday has been COM
memorated on the same day as that on
which homage is paid Lincoln.
On Saturday throughout the Union,
the colored people will again call to
mind this great character, who gave the
greater part of his life in the cause of
freedom for an enslaved race and in the
struggle to make America better and
safer place in which to live. Time can
neither darken nor dim his memory
Throughout the days OF this and sue
ceeding generations, but it is on ms
birthday that we should get closer to
him and realize the great debt that We
owe him.
Douglass was like Lincoln, fighter
and not discouraged by defeat. He
forged ahead despite his handicaps and
gained honors and Office against great
odds.

Public opinion has become pretty gen.
orally crystallized into the belief that
newspapers of the race have become
E the Voice of the Negro. - This being
true. the nation at large turns to our
ruolications to get our point of view.
The standard Of the Negro is raised or
lowered in the opinion and knowledge
Of the general public, by the standard
Of our publications. Therefore, the
solemn responsibility resting on pub
fishers must be thoroughly recognized
by all, and every ounce Of effort expeno-
ed must count for something worth
while.
