nearly all the negro vote and is

negro very naturally concludes that

whole conclusion is wroDg. The
enjoyment of life, liberty and hap

not and should not imply a reward
of office. If it did, then only those
who expect to hold office would

who would need to vote. The larger
numberf people cannot have! office
and there are good reasons why the
negro race among us should not ask
nor receive office that places them
in the sphere of superiority over the
white man. In the first place, race
friction will follow as sore as fate
can make it, if negro office holding
becomes common. In the second

and scarcely has a rival where na

right to rule is marked - by divine
gifts and manifested by historic re
suits. Shame then that white men
should, for temporary expedients,
set afloat negro aspirations for office
and humiliate their own and their
family's race pride by bargains and
divisions of spoil to get his vote !
What man of pride wants an office
thac the white race is unwilling to
elect him to ? It seems to us to be
time to 8 top and consider what this
fusion with the negro is leading to.

A Novel Alethod.
A novel method of raising money
for church purposes among the
colored members was related re

a Ways and Means committee and
announced his plan, which was
