Jonny J. Ixcaits, Washington, D.C., My Dear Frianp Incatts; [read your letter on the “African” or “Colored Man in the South,” pub- lished in last night’s Journal, as copied from the New York Journal, and I was very much interested in ate It was distinctively yours. No one could mistake it. While I agree with you in many particulars on the Negro question in the South, yet there are some features of your views that are anomolous. You seem to argue to both audiences, which 1 think is net quite becoming to you, Or consistent with your past well defined position on this question. Did the doubtfulness of the truth of the pretentions of the Southern outrages of the black man ever occur to you? If not, permit me to eall your attention to the fact that there are upwards of fifty thousand colored people in Kansas, and esti- ‘mated over one hundred thousand in Missouri, and fully twenty thous- aad in Nebraska, and over one million scattered West of the Alle- ghenies, and yet we never hear of their committing such abominable outrages on white women as are reported m the South. If they are so brutally passionate in the South, why do they so well control them- selves in the West and North? We never hear of their perpe- trating these kinda of outrages in the Northern states, This raises the question of doubt as to the truth of the cha.ges against them in the South, and leads one ta believe they are largely pretenses of the Southern marauders and murderers, to justify their brutal lynchings and outrages. Again, at the close of tha rebellion there were about four million of the colored people in the United States. Now, it is estimated there are over eight million in the United States, and increasing with great multiplic- ity, I am informed by Maj. Shockley, Ir., who was major of one of the Mo. colored regiments, in the late Span- ish American war, that he saw a prominent friend of the colored peo- ple, who went to where they were Ieeated in Ga., to bring about thirty lof them, his friends and relatives, out of that deploreable region: he had boubgt tickets for them, when he was arrested for not having taken out an emigration licensce and he was fined '$500.00 and costs, and imprisoned } watil the fine and costa were paid. ' Weis prevented him from’ taking ‘his A FAC SIMILE OF A LETTER WRITTEN TO HON. P. H. CONEY BY THE LATE JNO. J. INGALLS. Reme an Ulm . ~ of em) oe friends out of there, and robbed. him of his financial resonrces, | I understand that this con- dition prevaila throughout the South, They will not allow the colored people to be taken from them, nor will they permit them to vote, or give them industry by which they can make an independent living. fo brief, they deny them the right to emigrate, or to live amoug them in peace and obtain a livelihood, or suit- able education. Thus, it becomes a matter of their extermination on the part of the white dictators in the South. This condition is far worse than slavery was. This condition ia worse than the conditions were in Cuba before the Spanish war, or in the Philippines before the war of conquest and acquisition began there. Don’t you think it would be more humane for us, asa nation, to sup- prees the brutalities and outrages committed at home on humanity, be- fore longer contending toextend our humanity and liberty to the people of the Philippines, struggling for inde- pendence? Don’t you think it would be more appropriate to pluck the beam out of our own eye, before tak- ingthe mote out of other people's eyes? Would it not be more proper for us to clean our own yard, before calling attention to our neighbor's yard? Should not the white men bear hisown burden instead of compelling the black man to bear it? Why should we compell the black, the yellow, the brown or the bronzed or red man to bear our burdco? Why should we not obey the mandates of Divine Providence in extending the blessings we enjoy to all mankind, by bearing the burdens of the oppress:d? Is not bearing the white man’s bur- ‘den, bearing thetyrant’s burden? Is itmot bearing an improper burden? Is not bearing the white man’s bur- den bearing the British burden? Is not the bearing of the white man’s burden, the bearing of his crimes and outrages? I fought in the battle for the Union, to liberate the slave and bear the black man’s burden, and I think £ fail to perform the full functions of 2 man today should I refuse my share of bearing the black man’s, or the brown man’s, or the red man’s burden, if necessity requir- ed it. Should we ndt stop the perpe- trating of outrages at home before enacting greater outrages abroad? I have made these comments to sitaply draw to your keen analytical mind, the thoughts that are vibrating through the minds of the masses, and particularly of the loyal people of this nation, West and North, as to the conduct of the Southern people towards their former slaves, and those bornsince the war. The black man is with us. We musteither bear him and provide for him and make him a better citizen, or exterminate him. Which shall it be? I shall never contribate in thought, expression or ‘aot, to the extermination of-any peo- lige.

We should not act or express our- selves to inflict burdens or injury ° on another, unless it be for the better- ment ofall mankind. | ‘Why does not our President exer- cise his power to right these wrongs inflicted upon tbe black man, who has equal citizen’s rights with himself?! Why should he go coquetting with | the old slave holders—the would-be’ nation’s destroyers, the ex-Confede- rates, former Rebels, oblivious of the wrongs they are perpetrating on offi- cial citizens and others in the imme- ate vicinity where he was juuketting and banqueting among the former, traitors, who atill sdhere to their treasonable convictions? Has he for- gotten that wrong is never right, avd right is never wr. pg?

It can nover be until Heaven and Hell shall coalesce, and right becomes Wrong, and wrong, right. I desire to call your attention to a repeated erroneous statement that you are given to making, in calling us an Anglo-Saxon nation, This is discreditable to your erudition: you are either forgetful of history, or you are malignantly profaning and blaspheming history and facts. I Cannot belleve that you are doing the latter, and therefore am con- strained to believe it is the former. “ Anglo-Saxon” is a mongrel, hy- phenated phrase. There is no foun- dation for it. If there ever was such a designated tribe, clan or race, it is infinitesmal to our civili- zation, and contributes a more in- finitesmal part in the construction of our civilization. Sir Matthew Arn- old in an able lecture before Oxford students and others declared that Anglo-Saxonism in England was in- finitesmal, and could be confined te avery narrow, short street in the city of London, Great Britain is not “Anglo-Saxon,” neither is it Saxon or Angle, separately or joint- ly. Great Britain isa mongrel na- tion, composed of Celts, Teutons, Danes, Latins, Normans, Scandina- vian or Norman and African, etc., etc, the Celtic predominating there as here, This country is practically and specifically] more Celtic and ‘Teutonic than anything else, it is estimated uponaccurate census, that there are over twenty-five millions of Teutons and their descent in this country, and some twenty-five mil- lions of Celts and their descent, the balance of the population being di- vided between the Latin races, the African and Indian, etc. The al- leged “‘Anglo Saxon” being less than one seventh of our population, in order to ascertain who they are it must be strained through a fine an- alyzing test meter. I simply call ra i : Fa i S y 4 Poe y/ HON, P. H. CONEY, your attention to this in order to correct a grave error that is not complimentary to your reputation. You might as well call us an “Afri- can,” or “Red-man” nation, as to call us “Anglo-Saxon,” and you could doso with more propriety This Anglo-maniac blanketing of Americans as of “Anglo-Saxon” ori- gin, is not only abominable, but de. testable. We are practically Amer- icans, heterogeneous and cosmopoli- tan. The basic of . our civilization is more Celtic than anything clie, and next to this is the Teutonic. Even a geeater part of the Mayflower stock and Pilgrims were Celtic, and two-thirds of the New England set- tlement were Celtic. Over onc half of Washington's army were Irish. Now, in God’s name, where do Ce ore Sees EN Shs : a, $ i ‘THE LATE JOHN J. INGALLS you get your Anglo-Saxonism in our civilization? It is a blasphemous assumption, of mongrel conception and dastardly adoption, that will never be accepted or tollerated in this land. Why insult the great German, Irish, French, African and our other racial populations here by.denominating them as “Anglo- Saxons, thich they contemptuously resent. . We speak what is called English, but is not English, nor1s it “Anglo- : roe 4s eo Saxon. It is a mongrel language, more Latin, Greek and Hebrew than anything else, Why insult the great. er part of of our population to grati- fy English domination. Let us be Americans; call ourselves Ameri- cans; live Americans; act Americans; fight as Americans and die as Amer icans. This ought to be sufficient unto anyone who is an American. 1 have never been outside of America and never desire to be. It is good enough tor me.

His recent act in refusing to accept the resignation which Mrs. Minnie Cox, postmistress at India. :nola, Miss,, tendered him because of threats of a violent nature, even to the taking of her life, having been made against her by the Negro- hating white element of that vicinity whose objechon to her tenure in office is based, solely, upon the fact that she is a Negro, the discon tinuance by him of the postoffice at that place rather than accede to the demands of the brutal element for her removal from office, is scarcely less significant as touching the status lof the Negro in this country than Abraham Lincoln’s immortal Eman. cipation Proclamation itself. “The report of the postoffice in spectors who investigated the office from time totime show that Mrs Cox has giver the utmost satisfac: thon to all the patrons of the office that she is at all times courteous faithful, competent and honest in th discharge of ber duties. Her mora standing in the community is of the highest; her reputation is of the best Few offices of this grade in any state are conducted better,” This is the situation with which the Negro is contronted throughout the entire South. They simply ob- ject to his taking or holding any Position excepting that of an inferior. ‘They are not opposed to the Negro tilling the fields, picking cotton, ‘and bringing in the wood. They can tolerate the colored coek in the kitchen, the colored waiter in the hotels and restaurants, a Negro nurse ina Pallman car, if she is holding a white child on her lap, if the white child was not there, no white person could possibly stand it to be any way near the Negro nurse. At the root of all this is simply sace preju- dice from which the Negro suffers more than any race in the world. It is this same feeling against the Negro that makes it so easy fer a mcb, af he simply be accused of any crime from barn burning to rape, to seize him, take the adminis. tration of justice in their own hands, and when the crowd is assembled around the object of their resent- ment, frenzy in their eyes, madness in their heart, nothing restrains their insane rage from deeds of violence, not even the conviction that no such thing can happen without the entire overthrow of all civilized society— ‘without the abandonment on the part of each member of the com: munity, of all that he holds dest to brute force and lawless spoliation. Because so many innocent Negroes have beon lynched it causes the mass of Negroes to lese faith in the white man’s justice and makes them shield criminals of the race.

All of this discourages honest ef- fort among the mass of Negroes, while as a matter of public welfare. he should be taught how to make the most of himself and to feel that the whole world is sincerely inter- ested in his achievements, comfost and condition. The Negro is not an outlaw buta citizen, He should not be trested as an alien but asan cally. The Negro was nursed in the cradle of neglect, and of necessity yhas some of the serious defects of sach environment in his constitatien, He has given his blood to cement thisnation. He has fought on many a battlefield to perpetuate the _herit- age we have received from Revolu- tionary days, and to achieve his own freedom. It does seem to usa matter of right and justice the truly deserving Negro, the toiling, struggling, hon- est, thrifty Negro ought, at least, to be given encouragement in the white man’s newspapers and magazines, equal to the notoriety they so will ingly and freely accord the criminal element of the race.

On Monday, the 12th inst., af high noon Gov. W. J. Bailey and his associates elected upon the Republican ticket last fall, were duly innaugurated at the Auditorium in this city. The ceremonies were conducted with the utmost simplicity and with- out the usual hurrah and rush, the new state officers were in- ducted into their several offices. Gov. Stanley made a neat and appropriate address as the retir- ing chief executive, after which Gov. Bailey made his inaugural address, which was clean cut and an able effort. He takes up the position under circumstances which are most favorable and no doubt will continue the good and safe march of progress and efficiency, which was charac- teristic of the splendid four years administration of ex-Gov. Stan- ley. We sincerely hope and believe that Gov. Bailey will be governor for all the people, and not for any class or faction and that he, like the gallant and dauntless Roosevelt, will not shut the door of hope against any man on account of his color or creed, and that all matters of recognition will be decided strict- ly upon merit and competency. Governor Bailey's message to the legislature is a conclusive and painstaking document, re- viewing the different depart- ‘ments, institutions and resources of this great state. It is well worth the perusal of all patriotic citizens. The legislature would do well to follow the suggestions he makes therein, and they will receive the plaudits and approval of a well pleased constituency. Just why some people have taken it for granted that some Eastern Negro must have the Liberian ministership, which will it is understood be shortly va- cated by Dr Crossland, we can- not understand. It has of late years been generally conceded “that this is Western patronage, and it is really the only thing of note that the West has been in the habit of landing, and at this time to take it away, we fear would be an injustice to the Negroes of the West, and we cannot believe that when every- thing is taken into consideration that the President willtake away from us the Liberian mininster- ship. While we do not say this froma personal standpoint, we urge and insist that this positior should go to a Western man. The annual meeting of the Kansas Lincoln Day club at the Auditorium in this city on Feb. 12th, to observe and commem- orate the birth of America’s greatest humanitarian and states- man by the colored people of the state, promises to eclipse all of the club's previous efforts. Secretary J. B. Bass reports everything as moving along nice- ly toward a good attendance from all parts of the state and that by our next issue he will furnish us .the program for the exercises. “Their annual banquet will be “eld ina hall not far from the Auditorium immediately upon the conclusion of the exercises. The banquet will be first-class in every particular. It will be 2 $1.00 per plate affair within the reach of everyone. A special place on the program will be devoted to the memory of Rev. W. L. Grant, one of the founders of the club IN POLIGICS.

NOTICE TO CHURCHES The churches of the North- western Baptist association no doubt wonder why the Minutes of the last session are not out. The cause of the delay first, was the failure of some of the secre- taries to send their manuscriet on time, thus allowing other work to be-rushed into the hands of the printer ahead of us, and by so doing, the printers say they have been unable to secure enough printers to do the work. In order to rush matters, they have been compelled to purchase an electrical dinamo, which is being placed in the shop this week, and they assure us that they will be out in a very fev days. J. E.

The concerted action of the Negroes promisesto bring the race question in an acute form be. fore the Wardepartment. They are demanding recognition and declare that they Shave the encouragement of President Roosevelt and the sup- port of influential members of the House and Senate, including Repre- sentative Hull, chairman of the committoe on military affairs, and Senator Pritchaed, of No:yh Caro lina. Mr. Hull has dis ussed the idea of giviug the Negroes commis- sions with the President, and Mr Roosevelt is said to regard it favor- ably. Itis known that Mr. Roose- velt believs the Negroes who fought atSan Juan hill and other engage- ments in Cuba and the Philippines, should be rewarded, but he has been undecided as to what form the re wards should take. In behalf of the Negroes it is urg- ed that before the main body of the troops werefordered home the War ‘department sent a telegraphic re- quest for the names of all those of- ficers who cared to take the com- petitive examination for the office jof second lieutenant. No racial distinction having been made in the message, sixty or more Negro offi- cers signified their desire to take the examination but upon disembarking at San Franciso they found that a subsequent communication from the War department indicated the exact number of officers from each regi ment who were to be examined, without mentioning a single Negro. ‘These officers, or many of them, encouraged by the rebuke recently administered to the “lily whites,” have appealed directly to the Presi- dent for.redress, and it has develop- ed that they have some very strong friends at court.

Overture, with the blood stained banner of revolution and the torch and sword, It 1s ideas that make 2 nation, not the census tables; and I call this an Anglo-Saxon nation because the domizating ideas, individualism, per- sonal liberty, home rule and self- government, are Anglo-Saxon in their origin. One Anglo Saxon is a majority everywhere. The Germans are of the same blood like the rest of the Scandinavians, but the Latin races areinastate of decay. The Celts are a generous impulsive stock, but they have always been the champions of lost causes. Histori- cally, they have failed, and they have no strength except as they have become assimilated with the Anglo Saxons whose ideas rule this country, and are destined to rule the world. it makes no difference where a man was begotten or born, the instant he becomes an American citizen he 1s an Anglo-Saxon. “One shall chase 2 thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight.” Yours, Jou J.

The new year has started out very well indeed with the school, During the week of prayer, quite anumber of students were con- verted, Dr. Frank H. Sanders, dean of the Yale Divinity school, Yale University, fis spending a few weeks with us. He lectures to the young men of the Phelps Hall Bible training school in the morning, and to the student body in the chapel at night. It has become known that Mr. Andrew Camegie is to visit the school sometime during the lat- ter part of February or March tc inspe:t the new library building for which he donated the money sometime ago. Several photo graphs of the building have beer sent him and he has becom very much interested in th building—especially in view o the fact that the plans wer drawn by one of the instructor in the school, and was precti cally built by the students. LAWRENCE, KAN. The annual parliamentary con- test for choosing delegates to represent the various societies of the University in the chapel de- bate to be held on the 23rd anst, for the purpose of selecting the University representatives who are to uphold the Sunflower ban- ner in the annual debate soon to occur between the Universities of Kansas and Nebraska Universi- ties was conducted here this aft- ernoon and evening, more thar a score of contestants participat- ing. Interest and enthusiam runs high. The thorough drubbing received last year at the hands o: Nebraska, has had the effect o: awakening profound solicituds on the part of the K. U. student: and this result was very manifes in the character of the contest ants in today’s debate. Th ability of each candidate was, o a high order, and every inch o debatable ground was both abl; and stubbornly contested, was: ‘Resolved, That as a gen- eral principle the continuous ope- ration of public service industries should be insured by !egislation compelling the arbitration of dis- putes between companies and their employees.’’ Itis needless tosay that the resolution was accorded scholarly and exhaust- ive treatment—both pro and icon. Sound and disinterested critics say that today witnessed the best exhibition of forensic logic and pyrotechnics that the University has ever seen. The representatives of our race were Messrs. D, E. Henderson. of Emporia, and W. C. Houston of Lexington, Kentucky, both of whom are more or less known to ‘Kansans, These young men are members of the Middle class of the School of Law, and have long since earned a high place among the argumentative reason- ersin the school. On this par- ticular occasion each was at his best, and made every word and sentence tell. The forensic dis- play on this occasion was mag. nificent and an index of greater triumphs to come, Mount Moriah Tabernacle, No 52, held their first yearly meet- ing attheir hall, Jan. 8, 1903, their distinguished C. G. M., Si Frank Wilson, of ‘Kansas-Neb. raska and its jurisdiction, being present. The Knights anc Daughters are looking forward fo: the Grand Session, to be hele here July, 1903.
