stead of adding insult and injury to
the unjust burdens which they al
ready have to bear, they should be
honored and encouraged for the
part they have taken In trying to
Improve conditions.
Now comes a solution of the prob
lem that many seem not to have
thought of, and that is the eleva
tion of the moral condition of the
colored people. The Herald has de
sired to see prea tor activity among
the forces that make for the social
iiml spiritual Improvement of the
race here. With due regard for
what can bo aiomplished by law en
forcement. It is very plain that de
sirable citizenship cannot bo fully ob
tained until the force of moral sua
sion has been brought to bear upon
the objects of reformation, not until
right living and doing has been made
a mater of conscience. With the
colored people kicked and cuffed
from pillar to post, and with never
a word to encourage them to high
Ideals of tit ixenship. It is not to be
wondered at that thoy "neither fear
God nor regard man;" but with the
encouragement that conies to them
from such a movement as is now on
font in Alliance and which is men
tioned In the news columns of this
Issue of The Herald, favorable re
sults may be reasonably expected,
such as are not possible of accom
