Tho Exposition grounds a* Uh*rlc9
ton on r\ow Years day with tho exocption
of tho raco traok was in tho possession
of tho colored pcoplo. Tho attondanco
was largo ar?d woll behaved
Tho negro building was tumid over to
tho exposition dirootors by Dr. W. D.
Crum of Charleston, a colored physioian,
with an appropriate addioss.
Tho crater of tho day was Prceidont
T. E. Miller of tho Stato Collogo, looatod
at Orangeburg, who was liatonod
to with interest by all presort.
President Miller opened with a glowing
tributo to Licoolu, tho omancipator
of his raoo, and to Fred Douglas,
"tho greatest negro that nas over soon
tho light cf day in this or in any ether
country," and thero ect forth the great
benefits to oorno to Charleston from
Tho Exposition. Of tho negro's part
in this ontorpri6o ho said:
"Have wo, tho ncgroep, had a plaoo
assigned us? llavo wo dono anything
to assist youY llavo you reuicmb?rcd
us? Have you responded to cur ro
quest? Yes, gontlemcn, negro nmsoio
ard brain have rceporded to your every
call in ovory field of labor that you bavo
assigned thtrn here. J rm cot out of
tho way in raying that two-thirds of tho
work on grcucdu, buildings and lakos
havo been dono by tho hands and tho
nead ot negro laborer? and mcobanics.
At timos thoy bavo literally swarmed
every portion of this great show, hard
proFsed, ati6Woring every book ar d call
froni you g^ntlomon and your assist
ants. Yob, you bavo remembered ua
and given ua a building froo of cost,
located in a spot thai is ilio moat beau
tiful ?o? any portion of tho grounds of
our grand show. Yes, you havo givon
ovcrytliiug wo havo asked for; wo bavo
only failed to got what wo havj novcr
requested. No men, situated as ycu
havo been, could havo or would bavo
dono more, aud in tho name f nine
million negroes of this country, 1
thank you, gentlemen, I tbank ycu
ovor muoh."
Taking up tho raoo question and tho
history of tho negro, iho spoakcr said:
"Thank God, our freedom is recognized
as a blessing to tho South, aud God is
God and right is right, tbo day is
bound to dawn upon us when every
right that follows laithiul servioo and
fitness will bo frcoly and lo'drgly ex
tended to us by our rulers, 1 am a
negro, and if it wero not that I was
convinced that wo must remain hero in
tbo South, relying upon esnistujco t>at
mun ocmo 11 ouu wii hin, yet at ail times
making tho beet of every opportunity,
i wou.d lo'.fl tbo United Slates, and
at oloc. For ob! my pcojlc, tho whito
man of the South is the wiii:o man of
tho North*a&t; tho white map of tho
South is tho whito man wherever the
Amerioan eagle spreads its wings.
"Wo have friends aoroes Mason and
Dixon's lino. They havo spent their
treasures to assist in o'ovatiDg us, but
we havo them by tho millions all
around us on this side of tho lino. But
wo must not cxpoct too mveh front a
raoo that has a heavy load of povorty
and ignoranoo, plnood on their shoulders
by a slavery and tho war of the sixties.
"Wo must not forget that it is tho
law of nations, ?u unchangeable &s the
sun in its oourec, that, in all countries,
after groat uphcavels and for a Ion?
time thereafter, it is tho weaker olc {
mont or rtcc in society that coffers I
mostly and bears tho hardest burden
ot the sttugglo. Our Heavenly F*<ber
knows that at timos in tho last thirty
odd years our lot has bceu a card and
a trying on* ; but the only thing that
surprises mo, with my knowledge of
tho laws of nations and political cooocmy,
is that wo have fared so veil at
tho hands of tbo Southern white mon.
And in timo our oourls and our law
makers will see that tho railroad man
agement will keep tho nogro ooiohcs
oloan and free from dirt; they will seo
that whito men aro not permitted to
mako the negro ooaches their whitkoy
drinking booths and their trucking pen.
They have separated us in travel and
thoy will in time?but ob, may O d
hasten the day?eeo thatwohavo olean,
odorless and as ocmfortable ooaohes as
they bavo, sinoo wo pay tho tamo
money they do.
NO SOCIAL EQUALITY.
"But, my people, wo can not scale
tho heights of resplendent citizenship,
enjoyed in this oountry by oauoati&ns,
in a single loap, but wo mu?t go up the
ladder round ly round, and lot mo say
horoparenthetically that the ro is no 6Uoh
thing as social equality any wbero in tho
world; and that no sane white man or
negro should pay any attention to tho
olattor abcut booial < quality, for it is
all bosh to talk abou. it. No sensible
negro aims at it, or ez piots it. But,
wo do aim at aud ezpoot to sohicvo all
tho er j lymont of domestic happiness
that belong* to a free and untramrrolod
citizenship. Are wc trammeled? Vcs.
By what and in what v.a, ? Well in
many wavs.
"But, follow citizens, it is in our
power?absolutely in our power?to
down tho bars aorots evoiy avenuo. It
is within our power to right iv<ry
