A key to the spirit ot forgive- ness which pervades the heart of the Negro is to be found in an in- cident which occurred in Edgefield county, South Carolina, during the reign of Ku-kluxism. A col~ oredrepublican of good reputation for honesty and uprightness ot character, although an office hold- er, was ordered officially by the K. K: to quit the county in 24 hours. On fuiling tv obey he was in the stillness of the following night, visited by armed marauders, disguised in hideous regalia and mounted on swift horses clad in white raiment, whose clattering hoofs warned the offending colored man of the approach of his would “be friends.” Ile was prepared to give them the reception they so richly deserved by discharging his double barrelled gun, loaded with buck shot to the muzzle, into the crowd of Ku-Klux when they scampeied cowardly away, leaving two of their companions wounded almost unto death, Attracted by the cries of the wounded, tie colored man went to their rescue, unmasked them, gave them water and after bathing avd binding up their wounds, tied them on their horses before day and allowed them to goto their homes, even | promising them not to reveal their This circumstance was related under oath by the colored man himself, before the congres. sional committee in 1872. Nor did he reveal the names of his as. sailants and to this dav they have never been revealed. What would | an Indian have done under the circumstances? What would a} white man have done? ** “The saddest bird her season finds to sing.” Everybody knows | that as a singer the Negro has a world wide reputation. The “Black Swan” was an exponent of this art of song so well developed in her people. The same euchant- ing music attracted the public on either side of the Atlantic. All Negroes sing well asarule. In church, at camp meetings, on the plantation in the scheol room, everywhere this is therule. They sing in their hours of gladness or sorrow in success or failure under all circumstances, always singing like nightingales. Is their not hope for a race with so much sun shine ju their hearts? om * * Nothing is so apt to demon- strate the fact that the American Negro is like other Americans, than a visit to one of the annnal state fairs in the south. In this feature of public exbibitiou the “tar heel” state takes the leid. For seven years in succession the colored people of North Carolina have held state fairs and fairs they are indeed. Ex-Gov. Jarvis, now minister to Brazil, after inspecting the exhibits in the various depart- ments a few years ago, said, “In a great many respects the colored fair exceeds the wihite fair in point of excellence. The fair is held in a ten acre lot with suitable buildings, race track and all the appurtenances needed for a first class fair ground. Nearly all the celebrated orators, who have ai- dressel the vast crowds that as- semble annually at Raleigh to attend these fairs speak in the highest terms of these efforts the colored people of the state make | Hon. | in their upward movement. Fred. Douglass, R. B. Elliott, Se.- ator Vance, Gov. Scales, have thus attested this sentiment. Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Weekly once gave almost an eatire issue to the Ist Aunual Colored Fair, and the word went rouvd. He is coming, coming, coming. * * * The Negro is no skeptic. Al ready he has mounted the rustram to demolish Ingersollism and all forms ot infidelity. As he can sing, so the Negro van preach, and he can throw more inspiration, perspiration and uttractiou to the linear of a sermon, than any other class of preachers on the globe. Hence his congregation will go to church in a tornado to hear the expounding of Ezekiel or Revela- lions to which emergency preacher alone is equal. Sach aids as the Bible, and the works on home'eiics, Exegesis, pastoral Theology or even Clirke’s com-| mentary are valueless tohim. If he would make his mark, and captare his congregatios be mu-t leave these collatteral books and wade right out in deep water aud | preach the religion of the heart no all} this | book religion for ae And oer de not Talmage and Beecher preach to retain “their popularity? Do they always stick to.the text und preach doctrinal sermons after the manner of the old school? They are great latitudinarians. So is the Negro preacber who can jump trom Genesis to Revelations without the least compunction of conscience. . ** The Jew has for centuries been despised on account of his religion and his race, ever since Peter the Ifermit lead the ci usade to capture the Holy Land. The Jews were once driven from Spain—were proscribed —not allowed to pursue mechauic.] or professional employ- ment in all Europe—quartered off like lepers in the lowest vicinities of European cities and all for that they were Jews. Only a few years ago this prejudice cropped out when a wealthy Jew was denied the right of accommodation at a Saratog: hotel on account of his race. The Neg o is uot the only being -u'ject to caste prejudice. The most active aud deepest pre- judice was leyelled against the Jews. They have ouilived its bitterness. So will the Negro out live the prejudice against him. Time, ‘he great avenger and vin- decator wiil one day wituess the force of the svying, as applicd to the Negro, that “the stone which the builders ieiected will yet be- com: the corner stone of the tem- CHEAP JOBPRINTING At the “Bez” Office, 1109 I Street, N.
