Iii referring to Senator Carpenter and his
interviews with the negroea, the writer says:
Senator Carpenter has stiawna 4 disposition
to f.irly Investigate thu IND tlon Of affairs
here, but from his New Orleans speech the
other night an his '.interview' with = elalc-
CATION OF negroes. we are to ju lge that with
all his investigation ho don't know much
about Louisiana.
He advises the negroes to treat the white
mon precisely as the white mon treat the
negroes.
What yon want to do, !" sail Mr.. Carprn-
ter, speaking to q delegation of negroes.
healed BY Mr.. Ingrah.uI'. Whar you want
to do is to knock your people out OF this awe
OF the white man.
Ingraham-Ilow?
| Carpenter-Stini right np 70 him. and 1t
he insults yna, knock him tllsn.
Ingraham-Bnt knocks Of that kind would
prejudice the whole people against rs.
Carpenter you thiak The whole
power Of the g ,ycrn;nentis enough To sus-
tain you. We cannot protect yonr ilidisi'lnal
/ firesles If black man came to murder
your babies you woula kill him, Would you
not! If Il white man comes for the same
| purpose, kill him.
Ingsahanl-,ve admit the truth OF all this
and it ought to be done. bnt IN our present
relations, when we have the law and the
court. for protection, we do NOT rely upon
ourselves. .'.s@
Carpenter-T That is just the idea am try
ing to gtt at. II yon insult 4 white man, he
kills you II white man insults You, you

go for him. s s 3s's IN vi Y N
| Such dotcrine rs this preached to the ne
grses by United States Senator. is very
mischeyous. The difficulty In ths South IL
that men do not run to the courts when
wronged. They draw their firearms and
murder. Courts are instituted for the pro

wait the slow motion OF the courts, but t.
Instantly s.go for those VINO insult them, i

races upon the same level in the South. rht
blacks and whites are two RACES, and one or
the other has to "glve in'' q little. It is
4 better that the blacks yield that which i
uninportant to secure that which is import

attempt to resist aggression by the whites
the whites resist aggression by the negroei
there viii be trouble, and the end Of all such
tr0nble Is That the Ufauhe isr-oriehl,r set tn
ator Carpenters advice and resist .insults'
from the whites. or the whites resist ssinsults'
from the blacks, tire whole South would b
thrown into condition OF civil war In

very ordinary occurrence for white man u
