THE RACZ UUEST10H.
From The Nation.
Another serious outbreak
of race prejudice is reported
from Ohio. New Richmond
a town of 3.0(K) inhabitants
in Clermont County, has a-
bout TOO white school-children
to 300 black. After the
repeal of the "black . laws"
two years ago, and the con
sequent throwing open of the
public schools of the Stateto
children of both races on e-
jqual terms, the negioes of
New Richmond were persua
ded to have their children
kept in seperate rooms, and
thus virtually allow the old
line of distinction to be main
tained. Rut one negro, Jas.
Ringold, decided to insist nit
on his rights, and sent his
children into a room occu-
pied by whites. Thelittle ne
groes were abused and made
miserable in every way, and
finally Ringold appealed to
one cent and costs. This
showed the negroes generally
that they could legally send
their children into the rooms
occupied by white children,
an( they did so on Friday
most exciting Sundays tbis
place ever has witnessed.
The strwts have been trow
ided all day.
j All other topics were for
: got ten. M misters counselled
XCr43
mninder of the term, nnd cos
tly litigation, if nothing else,
i sure to follow. There h a
prospwt that u nmdamus
will 1h asketl fa in the urir
ning to com jel the School li'd
to re-open the schools."
Thes oubbreaku of ruce
prejudice in Ohio (for the
New Richmond incident is on
ly the latest in a Ion?: series)
Mciatil with
the alarm now felt bv the in
telligent and well-to-do white
citizens of Topekn, Kansas,
lest their city shall be bank
rupted by the votes of the
poor and ignorant negroes
who flocked thither afewyrs
ago; and with the unanimous
protest of the whole Republi
can press last winter against
the proposed admission of
New Mexico as a State, be
cause of the ignorance of the
white inhabitants of that
Territory ignorance not so
dense or wide-spreak as that
w hich prevails among the ne
groes in the Southern Stales.
All these incidents serve to il
luminate the Southern prob
lem, and they ought to show
the most partisan the need of
charity. Hereafter, when we
hear of some abuse of a Sou
thern negro, by a Southern
w hite, let us recall how negro
children have been treated by
whites in more than one Ohi
o town ; when we find South
ern whites complaining that
t he unrestricted rule of the
blacks would involve the com
munity in financial ruin, let
us think of Topeka's com
plaint ; when are told by the
Southern Democrats that the con
trol of a Southern State by it's
majority of ignorant blacks
would be intolerable, let us re
niemlxr that the Rebublican par
ty of the North refused to allow
the majority of ignorant whites
in New Mexico, a Bhare in the
government of the Union because
such an idea was intolerable.
The ''exodus'' of negroes
from North Carolina is as
suming largt proportions.
The most striking feature of
the movement is the fact that
most of the emigrants go to
Arkansas, the State where
the Clayton murder recently
occurred, and where, accord
ing to Republican organs, the
negroes are alloweil the en
joyment of no rights. This
would seem to indicate that
the average negro does not
care much for the reputation
of u State or the opinion of a
Republican organ. The sim
ple truth about the "exodus"
is, that it is a melancholy il
lustration of the credulity of
the race, most of the misguid
ed people who are leaving
North Carolina having swal
lowed all the stories of the
movement about Arkansas
being a land flowing with
milk and honey.
