BUY NO PROOF, Go Times, AN ASSERTION ZENO IN THE CHICA- The Negro question is wider, and possibly treighted with far greater import than the much-discussed question as to whether oz not pro- hibition and its attendantisms are to prevail. This question is new in its present aspect. It is embod- ied in the following thesis, which has been for some little time, the subject of two well-known southern lecturers, one of whom is a promi- nent Methodist clergman: ‘The Future of the Negro: Is He to Go from Off the Face of the Earth or Under It?” There are few persons in daily and hourly contact with the plantation negro who have not; long since come to the conclusion that this class, at least, of the race under consideration has become as utterly intolerable as it appears to be incorrigible. The good old so- ber and staid ante-bellum ‘‘uncle” and ‘‘aunty’, are now virtually things of the past, and in their places has sprung up a rowdy, roaming, unprincipaied lot of ne- groes, who will neither dig nor hoe, sor, in fact, do else than, by reas- on of their vices, fill the jails and peuiteniiaries, and thus become a huge burden upon counties and states alike. Nobody who has not lived in the south can know how sincerely have the southerners worked for the improvement of the maierial and moral condition of the negio, and how signally, all these zealous efforts have failed. I came among the southerners in the belief that the innate enemies and op pressers of an unhappy race. Six yeais of close observation and of contact with that race has more than convinced me that every known system of dealing with the negro—from the sentimentality of philanthropists to the practical method of tbe southern planter, who will spend hours day after day teaching him to do right,—is a mis- erable failure. The country negro is the embodiment of dishonesty, laziness and craftiness. This is the general opinion, and the deter- mination that the negro must re- form or “go” is loudly voiced, But as his disposition seems as uv- changeable as his skin, there would appear to be no alternative to his “going.” In one sense of this expression, he is already going fast. For cor- roboration of this statement I will cite the weekly mortuary reports published in the southerm papers. It will be seen from these that the death-rate among the blacks is very many times larger than among the whites. Study carefully the caus- es of this immense mortality, and you will find that vice is an impor- tant factor iv the main issue. The| opinion that the vegro race is in- creasing largely is widespread in | the north. ln the census of twenty | years ago much speculation as to! the numerical strength of the blacks | was uccessary by reason of the} chaotic condition of affairs then | prevailing. The estimate formed | at that time Was unquestionably a} low oue, and this would account for the large increase in the — last} negro census. There is every reas- ou for believing, however, that the | census of 1890 will the world that The Negro Race Is Rapidly Dying Out, and uuquestionably ander that | side-show. law which ordains the stfrvival of the fittest. In counties which once numbered their negroes by the thousands similar enumerations will now have to be made by scores. The negro disappears from one lo- cality, but crops uot up in another. His place in the south is slowly but surely coming to know to him no more; and where does he go to? Neither the north nor the west a gree with him ; he is found in only comparatiyely small numbers there. He 1s ‘‘going” to his grave rapidly, we know, and this alone can ac- count for disappearance. But what of him still remains is becoming so intolerable that the white man’s patience, as before hinted, is becoming exhausted. Nearly all of the land under the care of negroes is growing impov- erished almost beyoud redemption. What where once splendid planta- tions are, on account of negro incapacity and neglect, wilderness- es of ruin and rabbish. Crimes of every degree of Lideousness are becoming alarmingly numerous. Little work can be gotten out of a negro in winter; hardly auy in summer, wheu fruit is plentiful and the other necessities of life easi- ly forthcoming. If you engage a negro to work, coustant supervision is necessary, or either the work will not be done, or half the moveable things in the neighborhood will disappear. At all times his de- meanor is unbearable. His main object in life appears to be to rob the white man one manner or an- other, whom he cordi ‘lly hates, yet fears. Here let me say for tbe benefit of certain societies which have ramifications in Chicago tuat they will oue day find they commit- ted a grave error—unwittingly, however, —by sending agents to the south for the purpose of enrolling negro members. If these agents could only hear some of the ridicule heaped upon them by the very men whose sympathy they have ostensi- bly enlisted, the ha rs of their poor |° “bucrow” (the negro epithet for white man) heads would turn white in a single hour. The negro wants as little as possible to do with the white man. I have been among the negroes in Liberia and other parts of Africa, and have found the women virtuous and houest, and the men non gamblers and honest also. The effect of our civilization upon the race appears to be to make the licentiousness of most negro women stink in our nostrils, the men to becomé ardent “shooters of crap,” and men and women alike have a total disregard for the dif- ference between ‘mine’ and “thine.” Their religion is hysteria and a miserable burlesque, while it has no more beneficial effect upon their morals than has the side show of a circus upon those of the aver- age small boy. And a_ uegro country church is generally sup- ported by means as questionable as those by which said average sinall boy often obtains admission to said And this is why £0 many good and sorely-tried people of the south are to-day compelled tu say that the negro must eituer re- form or ‘‘go” aud “go” faster than the violation of nature’s laws is now forcing his departure. Let me repeat that these state- meuts are entirely devoid of ani- mosity of any kind, for no resident of the south can do other than w'st the negro’s success and well being, as we are all so largely dependent on him for labor, since out-door e work here in summer, while benefi- cial to the black man, is the reverse to the white race. There is unquestionably a tinge of prophecy in what an old negro here recently told a gathering of the young men of his race, to the effect that when time shall have caused the good influence of the old time darkey upon his people to cease, the whites will be able to TOLERATE THEM NO LONGER. It is only a few years ago that, ina certain county in South Carolina, the negroes bulldozed and terroriz- ed the whites to such an extent that something akin to a rising a- gainst the former took place, and the woods, according to reliable reports, were perforce full of the dead bodies of negroes, although the fact was not made public at the time. Even so patient and long- suffering a being as the evangelist Moody has said recently that, on his last visit to the south, the ill behavior of the negroes interfered with the success of his revival ser- vices to the extent of almost shear- ing them of all potency to good. Surely Mr. Moody may be quoted as an unbiased authority. Education does not benefit the negro, for the majority of our col- ored crimnals are of the educated class, nor does any known system of moral ethics benefit him. The! cloud that is now rising upon his horizon may no bigger than a man’s hand ; but burst it surely will, soon- er or later. Would that it might dissolve ere it burst! Still, to effect this happy cousummation something must be doue very short- ly to make the average country negro mend his ways, aud this is the often expressed opinion of the better class of his race. But phil- anthropy seems to have exhausted its immense resources upon bim. “Bob” Toombs once suggested that the incorrigible negroe shonld be reduced to a condition similar to that of the Mexican peon until their reformation was effected. Certainly this class is proof against all the kindness and consideration so lavishly bestowed upon them. Beyond the discussion as to whether or not prohibition shall be king, political matters are quiet. Excepting in the mining regions— the iron country—- the president’s “free trade” views, as expresssed in his message to Congress, have been generally indorsed, and all. seem to be fairly satisfied with democratic administration. “Even the poor negroes are coming to the conclusion that, after all said and done, gwine to make ’em slabes again.” ZENO. 2 C.

The remarkable ignorance of A- merica that they are enabled to maintain under such circumstances is illustrated by a fact that I have from Mr. Arrighi. He says that the indifference of his countrymen to the privileges of nataralization arises chiefly from an idea they have thatif they bscome- citizens they are liabl- to be drafted into the army, that prospect being BETE nor of the peasantry throughout Europe. Here is one of the meth- ods (of which he has a knowledge all too wide) by which the wilier and more experienced Italians im- pose on their countrymen. They elect to act as middle men between the charitable institutions, particu- larly those that care for children, and their beneficieries. For in- stance, a widow having several children, more thau she can care for while earning their living, will be told by some men of her ac- quaintance that for a certain sum, say a doll.r and a half a week, she can place one of the children in an institution where it will be well provided for. Sbe grasps eagerly at the prospect. He then goes to the establishment, say the Five Points House of Industry, or the New York Juvenile Asylum, repre- seats the widow as hopelessly poor and himselfas acting in her behalf, and gets the child received free; | thereafter he, of course, goes-on pocketing his dollar and a half a week indefinitely. So much of this has been done that most of the Institutions now refer all Italian applicants to Mr. Arrighi, who personally investigates the cases. —_—__ _<4eo——_—_—— A Biack Friday hat day, when a person is first serivasly at- tacked with rheumatism, may well be termed as a black one, but if he uses Salvation Oil in time, he will soon be able to speak of a “Good Friday.” It is the greatese cure on earth for pain. nal Oe The butcher does have some fun- py expressiou : be told his assis tant the other day to break tle bones in Mr. Williams’ chop+, and put Mr. Smith’s ribs in the basket for him and teil Mrs’ Black to take Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup for “ber cold. ‘Show us how divine a thing a Woman may be made” vy smooting out the wrinkles caused vy nenral- gia toothache.
