Stealing neilher violates their Con

negro will nut Kteal any big thing.
I have been wtiiing ol the negroes
as a race, not as imli vi.lnals, for there
are exceptions in every locality, and il
is not uncommon torus to say: "lie
is a ootid negro." There aru also some
thrifty uegioes who accumulate money
and pit petty, but tliey no more mark
the rare than the miser marks lli
Anglo Saxon. Our best plnla,illuo

uegioes ate always polil ieiaus, mil

a precarious living by playing between
lh" pari ies at elections and buying
and stdlinvT the colored vote. Now
what is to become of the negro ? Can
any of your re.t.leis answer the conun
drum ? Wo like him as a laborer and
a domesliu servant, but as a polilician
or an office holder, a juryman or a
