RACE ANTAGONISM.

j AXD KEEPING THE COUNTRY | WHITE. I ' [By Frank Bell.] 41 If God made tlie white man white, the yellow man yellow, and the black man black, He intended for the white man to remain white, the yellow man yellow, and the black man black.'"—Gail Hamilton. .There are three possible solutions of the race problem—first, the races must amalgamate; second, the stronger must reduce the weaker to slavery, or at least ; political subjection; third, the weaker . race must cease to exist.—Voice of hisI tory.

King Canute, confident of his mortal powers, issued a royal edict, prohibiting I the rising of the tide, and sat in state upon the beach to watch the phenomenon of a natural law receding 'before a human • law, but an extra large wave came and . capsized him and his authority, Then when he arose ihe squeezed the water from ihis .hair, shook the sand from his whiskers and came to the conclusion , he was a decent-sized fool. 1 &o nations rise, progress and prosper, until by some political error, or form of political idolatory, they will come into contact with a natural law. Then the result is internal decay, s-tas'iiation and death. Whether this law of' race antagonism is a divine law or not might be debatable; whether it had its origin in i the act of a eockie link heaving a disrespectful eoeoanut at the, : head of a , neighbor; or whether it was sp-'ordained when the great First Cause stood upon ! the threshold of creation and bowled humanity down the centuries, are matters , upon which it is unnecessary to quibble. , It is sufficient for us to know that it does exist, as a proof of which/every nation on earth has its emigration law, from the complex machinery of the American to the simple methods of tile Solomon Islander, who awaits tlie .incoming immigrant with a meat-axe. '-Tliis' law of race-antagonism, visible -wherever and whenever two races meet;' r is nowhere mpe pronounced than in .wuc 1 dealing i with other races. The An'glctSS acton has | attained the position of 'bostf'ciriliser of ; the earth, and, -during the process, "he has ; secured the scalps of more-it* cloyed and ; aboriginal .races than anv, ether man , living.
