In this wonderful land of liberty we must bow to the proud nniiis contumely" ami dure not "take up arms against this sea of trouble." The pre-jmlimngninst the Negro seems to be Ids greatest barrier to success in this country. Tills by many is attributed to our previous condition. There is a prejudice of race a natural jealousy. Hy many it lias been thought expedient that education and a higher moral dcvelopenient and the acquisition of wealth the proper eotirse we should pursue in order to climb up the plane of mans Incline, lint it has been found in communities where the Negro has acquired a fair education, has established a good moral eniiruetcf and lias laid by a snog sum for the rainy day, that lie is still looked down upon lie-cause of Ids color. Now.

the people ho inhabit tin section of South America to which there is some thought of his going are of a mixed race. Not only that, they are thcruling element. If it were possible that the Negro in the United States could Intermarry and thus absorbed by the stronger Caucasian, the ethnological prejudice would pass away. Hut this is something that present indication puts far in the future. If men now-a-days lived to be as old ns in the days of the Falriarelis, we might hope to see it.

Hul since tilings are as they are, it behooves us to do that which we are assured; ill bring about a true and lasting benefit to our posterity. To go to South Aim riea or any other place in large numbers would bring -bout the same result as we have at home, excepting, perhaps, the prejudice as to previous condition. Already a meeting Inis been held, a chuter filed representing at least $2,000 out), the bulk of which is already paid tip.

AdDress As the city election draws near, we hope that the members of the Voters Club organized some time ago, will use their best endeavors to put some colored man on the ticket and work energetically for his election. That we deserve more representation cannot be denied and if we hope to ever accomplish anything and rise to worthy positions in our state, we must begin at the bottom of the ladder, which is local polities, and climb upwards to the higher positions which we as a race deserve. The iirst step that should be taken in this direct ion, besides being an advantageous one, is to see to it that every colored voter registers in plenty time to cast his ballot for the man or men of his race who may he brought out on the ticket and should be elected. The organization of the Voters Club is ft step taken in the right direction and before them lies a broad field which, if properly worked, will be found to be of advantage to the colored voters of Wichita ami Sedgwiek county. Let overy voter become a member of It.
