hope that futurity ttould do justice
to liis memory.
Such opposition likewiso do sotno
facts of modern scienco meet with at
tbo bands of thoso w ho do not under

whoso jaggeu cages irojeci troiu our

vus of scientific men, wo have not only
palpablo evidence, but irrefragable
moofa of Iho earth's interim! heat.
It is observed that tbo influence of

at this' increaso a point would he

whero it would bo impossible for llie
hardest rocks and mcluls lo withstand

The question then propounds itself,
docs this heat continue to increase,
may it not bo owing to local causes?
And before great depths were reached I

Wo might a Id, that tho crunt of Ihc

"Race" and "Color" White vs. Black.
Somo men aro born stupid, some be
come so tiller they aro born, r.nd some
have stupidity suddenly thruol upoi,
them through pnrly aasoeiations.
Tho editor ol the iew York Stand
ard ought to know belter than to
make so stupid an observation us the
following: "Nothing could bo moro
ridiculous than tlio utlempt lo make
race or color a party test." The now
somewhat w idely known edilor ol tho
iStandard waa not born "stupid,"
but ho nppeurs to hnve become so by
bin associations. "liaco" or "color'
has never been mado a party teat.
" liaco" or "color," as hero used, tiro
simply terms which convey tlio seien
lilie fact of "inferiority ;" und w hen
such is the ease,then "race" or "color"
should mnko a party test j but "race"
is tbo wrong term, it should read
"tpecicn." Jl is not color the Whilo
Lvmocracy object to, but tbo "Inferi
ority" which the aaid "colored" spe
cies are born with, and which has
ever unfitted them for soil-govern-mont.
Tno Whilo Jlnn'a I'aity da
elates tho white, race as dominant tho
world over, and thousands of yoar'sl
history proves this. This wl.tm i'""t
cics possess a higher organization. It
has ever ruled tbo balanco of human
kind, and ruled intelligently ; and
thereforo.succcssfully. It is tlio most
progressive of all the severul species,
while tho "negro," the inferior ot all
other species, has no progressive
qualities at all. The Africu of to day
