I The discussion of the question of ;he future of the Negro in the South continues to occupy a fair share of public attention. There are good reasons for saying that those who contend that the Negro race is dying out and those who hold that it will become arnalgama ted with the white race are mis taken. The statistics upon which both theories are based are taken from the cities, and the negroes in the cities are but a srna'l put of the Negro population. The death rate of Negroes in cities is ver\ large, particularly of Negro chil dren, but it should not be forgotten that the birth rate is also large At Out all the Negro women mai r\ and as a rule, each has quite a larg Dumber of children. A fair p. r ceutage of those who do not mai n help considerably to increase the raCe, Outside of the cities it. is pretty safe to say that while the birth rate of the Negroes is larger than that of whites the death rah is no larger. Au increase in the number of mullattoea in the cities is notice able, while in the country districts itbe disappea ance of tne muHatoes is equally noticeable. When the fact is taken in consideration that a* the condition of the Negro race improve its self respect will in icriJase, it is apparent that the num ber of mulattoes even in the cities will decrease. Instead of the Negro race becoming lost in the while race, therefore, the prospects is that it will become more distinct ively black. Unless there shall be Other powerful influences to bring about an amalgam tioi» cf the races the line of separation will become cle rer, instead of more blurred, as the years go by. But it does not follow that be cause the stronger race will not absorb the weaker one, the latter will not have a future of which it will have reason to be proud. The colored race is not going to leave the South, is not dying out, and is not being amalgamated with the white race. It is slowly but surely advancing to a higher plane oi civilization, ami will develop along side of the white race, th< ugh it will be separated from it by a line which neither will care to moss. Even iiuw, although occupying a much lower plane from the stand point of intelligence, the Negroes are organized upon the placed the white people. They nave th ir social grades, their chuJch organiza tions, their secret and benevolent societies, their prominent men and their tramps, their rich and poor and their good and bad people. Whatever there is in the society of the white people exists among the colored people on a smaller scale. Here in the South some very marked changes have been wit nessed within the last twenty-live years arnoi g the Negroes, and changes still more marked will be witnessed in the next twenty-five. The Negro lawyer, doctor and are almost unknown now, [but they will be known before an Iptber quwr er of a century, It is probable that Negro professional land business men will seek business :&mong their own race, ami that [race will furnish it. The N<gro is [bound to accumulate wealth, and though his progress in that respect I may be slow, yet, in the couise ol L time, there will be a very fair 'sprinkling of rich and well-to-do [colored men in every Southern [State. They will use their money | just as the white people use theirs; * and, therefore, it may be expected that they' will be found in every profession and in all kinds of busi ness. They are in the South to stay, and to increase.—Morning News, Essay delivered by Mrs. J. T. Lee, at the celebratiou of St. Johns Day at Albany, Ga., June 24, 1887: “MY HONEsI convictions of the MASONIC FRATERNITY.” Most Noble and August Fraternity: I have appeared before you un solicited and unexpected to express my opinion in regard to the Grand Body now m Session, Next to toe church of God, I look upon tliis fraternity as the i obit st orgamz aioii upon the face of the terrestrial gl be. Some con demn and denounce it as being the work of satan. Let us reason a little on the subject: Bas satan charity within ids breast? Has he io\e lor humanity and for the Almighty Maker ot heaveu and earth burning upon the altar of his bean? lias nu sympathy for the po-r beieavcd widow? Does he advise a fatherless boy or girl to walk in paths of remitudr? Does he throws arms of protection around (hem? 1 hear some if not all in this grand assembly say with me no. a thousand times no. it is quite the opposite with him, and ins lollowers. The widow ai,d orphan ■ne hi* prey, He pretends to de fend, only to bet lei take advantage of them. 1 am convinced th.t Ma -oiny is. s amped wild a better, pu. e., and nobler type. Uh, how my heart oveitlow with grautade this afternoon at the im.ught ot seeing my despised race miu assembled in a grand body like this and 1 thank God too thai some ot (be wisest, best, and most .Vorthy men arc Masons, Christians u d representatives oi the Negio r lie. I have a chromo representing ihe xteiun ot of Solomon’s Temple, aieo one showing ihe subterranean wo k or foundation, When 1 look at those grand and stately columns and think of their being named, and think of the grand struc’me being dedicated to the God oi Is rael and think of the system amt order with which everything (ac cording to the holy Scripture) was executed, and that this Union was firsi organized there. 1 cannot re train trom exclaiming Oh, Most Mighty, Most Wonderful work of God. These new societies often disband and are sometimes wiped out of ex istence, but this ancient, time worn, nd lime honored society' bows its gray head in humble submission before the Almighty and stands pproved before him. For indeed the stone which the builders reject ed has become the chief corner stone. BISHOP SHORTER. Bishop James A. Shorter of the A. M. E. church, whose death we chronicled last week was ’ orn in Washington city, February 4. 1817 Hid was consequently 70 years and 5 ill mills ot age.
