Dft. RANKIN.
Southern Outrages. Lynch Law
Burning at the Stake.
Qeorge M. Arnold has sent to
various Northern newspapers a
series of letters severely haudling
Dr. Raukin, president of How
ard, aud criticising in caustic
i ii.. j. p ?
muguuge Lue uocior s paBsivenesa,
especially duriog the ear begin
niug January 1, 1892, in relation
to the outrages practiced upon the
colored people in the South. The
meter says in short that iu the
days when, in charge of the Con
gregational church, in this city,
the doctor would not allow the
Sabbath Thanksgiving day on
Jauuary 1 to pass, provided there
was a reported outrage upon the
race, but he would make the occa
sion one of protest. Mr. Arnold
goes on to say that Dr. Rankin
was then so loTal to the interest
of humanity and the race especi
ally that people become to regard
him as a second Charles Sumner,
with the courage of a Coukling,
the firmness of Graut, the iutense
meaning of Thaddues Stevens, but
alas, he says now we never hear
in public a word from this once
rreat aDoatle Mr. Arnold charges
u 1 Q
that since Dr. Raukin has become
president of Howard, he has been
laid to rest by the fumes of color
phobia, that terrible odor that
finds so much work to do at the
capital of the nation, that Dr
Raukin has lost his interest in
the welfare, the humaui'y of
the race, siuce his advent to the
chair of director iu general of
Howard University, aud is now,
bo far as his regard, feelings and
outspoken sympa hy can be count
ed, to be catalogued with tlat
graud army of white men who
nothing commendable in colored
people after they have used them
for all thev could eret out ot them.
3pmyJiiLj)08itioii which is
that the doctor ought to resign
trom the presidency or the univer
sity. Mr, Arnold calls attention to
the recent action ot the Baptist
minlofAvQ of tVtait rflonf Oiin Tiin
tiou in this city, wherein they
adopted a strong, earnest set of
resolutions aud an address to the
people of the United States iu
relation to these terrible outrages,
and set aside u day, May 31, '92,
for fasting and prayer. He then
goes on to show that Russian
lamine sufierers, the" requests of
the Red Cross society, the coming
of Dr. rarkhurst to review local
crime and filth in New York;
pounding Col. lugersoll at long
range, aud in fact time and oppor
tunity for all aud everything but
not a moment for the people in
the South that are being outraged,
lynched, burned, tortured and
murdered, wholesale and retail,
by the decrees coniviance aud
consent, approval aud assistance
of the voting class, in that section.
He says that it Dr. Rankin could
be induced to tire the Northern
heart, the loyal sense of the coun
try, in relation to the treatment
that the colored people of the
South are beiner subiected to, with
a bit of the ourning eloquence
that he employed when introduc
ing Dr. Parkhurst, it would at
least show that he was not all dead
to the piteous appeals of the down
trodden of that race that he pre
sides over in the capacity of presi
dent of the leading negro educa
tional, moral and religious, as well
as patriotic iustituion in the land
On introducing the speaker
President Raukin said:
"The seed of the womau shall
bruise the serpeut's head." This
is the earliest prediction of the
Messiah. This process is not
agreeable to the serpent. Ot
course, he lifts his bruised head
and give3 vent to a great hiss, and
all the little serpents hiss with
him. It is the serpent's brood
that hai been disturbed. But,
notwithstanding all that, there is
God's authority for the bruise.
There is no sentimentality
weaker than that which regards
it right to condemn wicked things
in preaching, but wrong to break
them up in practice. There is no
folly greater than to pay city
officials to 'make laws aud to en?
force laws, and then to allow the
same officials to connive at their
violation; to make common cause
witn tne transgressors; as the Bi
ble expresses it, "to consort with
thieves and to be partakers with
adulterers."
A man does not lay aside any
of the prerogatives of citizenship
by becoming a Christian minister;
ne oniy consecrates tbem. Kev.
Dr. Parkhurst, the distinguished
Citizen Of New "Ynrlr whn hns hppn
invited to speak here by the pas
tor of thiB church, whose illness
and family sorrow prevent his
presence, well .deserves the grati
tude and honor here extended
him. It is not exactly certain
what the Apostle means when he
says he fought with the wild
beasts at Ephesus,
But it is certain what is meant
when wo say of Dr. Parkhursc that
he has lought with the wild beasts
of auother city. 2STor has he done
it for New York alone. He has
done it for Washington aud Chica
go aud every other great city on
this continent. As president of the
Society for the Prevention of Crime
the honored successor of the latp
Dr. Howard Crosby shall I say it?
with Elisha's prayer answered
for a double portion of his prede
cessor's spirit he has broken
through the barriers with which so
many modern city governments
practically surround places of
temptation, aud has brought back
blood-curd liner testimomv. which
could bo secured in no other way.
He has been to the very gateway
of hell. For "her house is the way
to hell going down to the chamber
of death."
If there is auv shame in the act
we Christian citizens of this Capi
tal city of the Nation wish by our
presence here to participate in that
shame. When a thing ought to be
done it must be done in the only
manner in which it can be done.
There is no inconsistency between
scourge of small cords for the back
of the tempter and the tender
words "Neither do 1 coudemn
thee" for the ear of the broken
HeaTteil penitentr The Lion-of tK&
tribe of Judah is the Lamb of God,
that takes away the sin of the
world.
WHAT HE WAISTS.
The Jersey Congressman struck
the key note when he said what he
did the other day.
Mr. Bergen Mr. Chairman, at
tho expiration of one minute I de
sire to be checked by the Chair, as
I wish to yield the remainder of
my five minutes.
I had expected, Mr. Chairman,
to have an opportunity to address
the House on the point of order
which was raised here. I have
acted in this matter iu good faith ;
but the Chair has decided the point
agaiust me. Although it has been
suggested that the original act does
not contemplate such a provision
as is embraced in this amenumenc.
I contend that the amendment fol
lows the wording of the act in its
first section, and certainly every
stipulation of that act follows the
provision of that section.
Mr. Chairman, this is a golden
opportunity for my friends on the
democratic side ot this House.
They have claimed in their speeches
here that they want to favor the
colored man. The best way iis
which they can benefit the colored
man at this time is to vote for this
amendment. This is the only waj
in which at this particular crisis
they can benefit him. Let them
vote for this provision to place in
Chicago something that will bring
out prominently the colored people
of this country, which will show
what they have done, from what
they have risen, to what they have
grown. Do that, and you will be
showiug that you have Eome sin
cerity iu saying that you wish to
help the colored race of this conti
nent. That's it, give him a chance; and
he will demonstrate his fitness for
all the demands that are made
upon him.
