An Impartial Writer Tells of the Vir
tues and Ambitions of our Race.
Tho question of tho stntus .of tho
negro In tho United States Is yearly
becoming n moro and .moro important
cnc. No doubt tho American ncgrti
of todny would viow with amusement,
If not with positive rldlculo, tho gross
practices and senseless superstitions
of his savage, fetich-worshiping pro
gncltors in Africa. By enforced con
tact with tho whlto men (themselves
onco savages), the negro hnB learned
much. Whllo It Is unfortunntoly truo
that ho has adopted many of tho
vIccb of tho whlto raco, it is equally
truo that he has appropriated many
of Its virtues as well.
To those who would frown down tho
American negro, it is well to suggest
something In his behalf. It should
Ic remembered that tho black man
"tho Imago of his Maker cut in
ebony," ns ono writer says did not
voluutnrlly seok his homo in America.
A cruel nnd forcible expatriation was
tho precursor of his ndvont horc.
Whntover ndvancemont ho hnB been
ublo to make from orlginnl savagery,
has been duo to his own efforts,
coupled with his environments. When
ono conoldors tho hnndlcnps undor
which tho American negro Is born,
tho mnrvel la not that ho hnB ad
vanced wonderfully, but that ho has
advanced nt all. Professor William
Drapor, In his "History of tho Amer
ican Civil Wnr," which appeared In
18G7, rings n truo note In defenso of
the black man. Ho sold:
"Tho American negro has unlvor-
sally abandoned tho nbject paganism
of his forcfathors, nnd has becomo
not merely nominally, but In spirit,
n (lovout-Chrlstlan. It cannot bo said
of him that ho is lncapablo of lovo.
Too often has ho worn himself out
in rodccmlng from slnvory tho wlfo
of his choice Undor circumstances
tho most unfavorable, ho has attained
correct Ideas of conjugal nnd paternal
rolatloDB. Essontlally religious, his
trust In tho Justlco of God' has never
wavered. In his dnrkest days and
sorest trials ho han (Irmly expected
In pntlonco tho coming of tho Inevita
ble hour that would proclaim him
free. Ho has approved him
self n truo soldier, truo to tho su
premo authority of tho country In
which Provldonco has cast his lot."
Tho prophecy modo by Professor
Draper nearly 35 years ago Is bolng
fulfilled. Tho nogro'B clvlllzntlon hna
not been mcroly superficial, but In
teriorly. Ho bus evolved boyond tho
stago of Imitation ho comprehends,
thinks, fools, acts like tho whites by
whom ho Is surrounded. Ho has
steadily dovolonod Intellectually.
wherever ho has had opportunity.
Even under legal prohibitions of for
mal education ho hnB Btonlthlly ad
vanced. Ho praya nnd ho proachos
with an onrncstnoBS and oloquenco
often touching In its simplicity.
Tho "whlto man's burden" with tho
colored raco should not provo an on
erous, but a pleasurablo ono. When
over tho negro shows a desire to hot
ter his condition, ho desorvos every
encouragement. Tho cruel wrong
dono tho slaves by tho whites In ruth
lessly tearing tham from their homes,
should bo, as it Is being, atoned for.
It is a hopoful sign for tho futuro
of tho negro that ho Is quick to
profit, through hla own efforts, toward
his uplifting. It is tho duty of tho
whlto man in tho present to reach
out a helping hand to his colored
brother. It is an act of atonement for
the wrongs of tho past.
It is hard to prophesy tho ultimate
destiny of tho Amorlcan nogro. Ono
thing Is certain ho will continue to
advance. It seems that Deity has
ordained it. Tho handwriting is on
tho wall.
"Tho Moving Finger writes; and hav
ing writ
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancol half a
line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word
of It."
Race prejudice in "Dixie Land"
against the nogro will not soon dlo
out. if ever. Porhaps tho latter may
eventually bo forced to mlgrato. Pro
fessor Draper long ago declared:
"Ho will not linger In a country of
frosts if he bo permitted to have ac
cess to one of warmth; and hence It
Is not likely that tho futuro history
