SHOO FLY EDIT»R OF A NEGRO PAPER Fiom the Solicitor. What a gigantic piece of bum- baggery is that which is being worked upon the Negroes of the eountry by the right benorable Frederick Donglass avd Mis Ida B. Wells. It only vosts the people when they lecture from $100 to $200 for each of them to make a single speech. Wheua they wind up, the Douglass-Wells combine will have the money and [) nebing will still be pracuced ” Tue reader can readily see that the obj ct sought by tais paper i attained, +o far as the expu ure of the “gigantic humbaggery” spoken of in the above clipping is con- cerned. As to the point of ‘noto- riety,’ it is not hard to perceive that the “euemy sbret” has assisted us in that iiue at they could. Hence the lesson of the “cat and helpless mouse.” But what else can you expect? ignorance always assert~ iteelf whenever it predominates over intelligence. The truth is this: Many of our Negro e litors are absolately igno- rant of the primsry elements of jouraalis. Many of think tha a'l there 1s to jourpalism is to be sble to write an article grammati- eally, They are ignorant of the fact that it requires the same line of study to become an accomplished journalist that 1t does to become a siatesmap. A comparison might be made to the man who is able to get up at all times and make a flowery speech, with the exp r- weneed stadent of politics, Tar flowery spe«k r is not in it when the finish comes, while to the won- derment of the populace, the keen edged “politician” wins witn ease. Now, wy fooiish brother of the fraternuy, note the pil ssophy of tis article and stop playiug the helpless mouse.
