Her mind was clear, conversational rational, and her hand grasp reminded me of her physical force aad vigor thirty years ago.

Ine past rose before me as a dream! I saw her with a large basket on her arm walking three miles to and from town, bearing the necessaries of life to those within her dwelling.

They are honor-ing themselves, doing honor to the race and exalting womanhood in striving to make the closing months of "the Moses of her people" comfortable. Abiding today in the Institution made possible by her wonderful personality, and in whose name it is to be perpetuated, is the greatest living heroine in America, and one of the greatest of all the centuries. Resting peacefully upon her pillow, her face radiant with hope immortal, as I said good-bye, I saw a noble career closing amid the splendors of a glorious au-, tumnal sunset.

McDonald agrees with Mr. De-Cordova that Negroes in Jamaica are prominent in all walks of life, but de clares that that gentleman has made the mistake of confounding tne prosperity' of the few with the welfare of the many, and then asks: Who are these men of whom Mr. DeCordova has spoken? His answer is rich men, in some cases learned men and in most cases men who do not regard themselves as Negroes. Conditions in Jamaica Same aa Other Countries.

This statement refutes In the ordinary run of things and according to the principles of clear logic, it seems to me that any honor or distinction conferred by higher authorities on a member or members of a particular race is a recognition and an admission of its worth which redounds to the credit of the entire race and enhances its status as a consequence thereof. "But it appears that the solo Briesv: ance of this gentleman ia the of social equality. Good society, mm au outer weu organiaea oaeoaauons lays down certain conditions aracedeat to entering it and imposes certain reasonable rules to regulate its mebersaa and to maintain ita principles and ideati. and that, too, whether it is composed at a mixed race or ox one particular race. The failure of aa aspirant to comply with these requirements should aot be made a ground for complaint, aor should it be deemed a good cause sor airing his disappointment and caagria Why Waat Indiana Do Nat Remain at1 Homo.

"It may be argued since these favorable conditions exist why don't they remain there and enjoy them instead of migrating to foreign lands? The answer is, the same rule prevails there as a does everywhere else. The average maa is ambitious. When he ia not seeking fame and fortune he is seeking knowledge and experience, and so his inquisitive nature asserting itself fills him with a desire to know the outside world of which he reads and hears and thus the West Indian, like the Italian, the German, the Frenchman, the Irishman and American, leaves his native shores and may be found not only in America but also in all parts of the world. "Mr. McDonald would have us believe that the honors are conferred on the favored few, that is, those who bear tht singular distinction of being mulatto.

The color of the Assistant Attorney General, the newly-appointed Register of the Supreme Court, and that of one of the Resident Magistrates, numerous Justices of the Peace and scores of others holding high government positions so clearly identifies them with the Negro race that the broadest stretch of imagination and the most profound metaphysical reasoning would not lift them even in our minds to the happy medium the mulattoes. To be charit-sble then, I mu6t assert that the learned collegian is quite unfamiliar with the true condition as they exist in Jamaica, and if he claims the contrary he muH be charged with a wholesale departure from the truth. "His citation from Sidney Oliver! remarks in support of his contentios contradicts rather than supports it. Here it is. 'The white Jamaican, whether foreign or Creole, has a prejudice which a scarcely to be differentiated from that of the American Negro.

But it is a prejudice operative only in so far as the colored man is individually inferior the white man in capacity and achievement The latter being equal, however, or regarded as equal they meet upo terms of apparent equality. Manifest this statement favors the Negro, for indicates that so long as he is respw able and is able to measure strides wits the white man his color is not a bar the enjoyment of the privileges and honors accorded his white brother. It follows too, that any race, be it white or black, some of the members of whicn setting up a standard of good citlrensnj which is in harmony with reason. morals and the notions of progressive industrial activities, may regard the otn members thereof at being inferior wnj fail to live up to this standard, aw whose views and actions are opioel it.
