FACTS VERSUS THEORIES.

When we pointed out recently that the
democrats of Alabama were undertaking TO
create distinct race issue In that State and
to establish "white mans government"
the democratic press of Alabama declared
in reply that negro government was bad
government, and that no good government
could be had, except by the agency OF
whites. A similar stand is taken by the
democratic press of Louisiana, and by that
Of South Carolina. And because we dep
recate any attempt In the South to found
State Governments on distinction of race,
We are accused of being hostile to reform
ton, which, as our readers know, have
been pronounced. This criticism of our
course necessarily raises three questions
/. Has all bad government in the South
been negro government? 2. Are the ne
groes themselves bent on asserting their
own supremacy 8. Is it certain that
white government would be permanently
the best? If the Southern whites are
themselves responsible for part of the
bad government that has come to exist
among them; if the negroes are to any
considerable extent ready to waive any
claim to exclusive control where they
have the power to assert it; or. if the SUI
premacy of the whites, even though tenn
porarily an Improvement, involves future
difficulties as serious as those which now
surround the South. then it Is obvious that
the project to establish a "white mans
government" in the South is injudicious as
1t Is certainly unjust. and that it may be
opposed without injury to real reform. Let
rs see.
/. As to the responsibility for corruption
in the Southern Governments. Does this
rest entirely on the blacks They certain
~ are entitled to much, perhaps to the
greater share of it. But are the whites
without blame? Some of the worst and
most wasteful monopolies in Louisiana
were obtained by Southern whites acting
with the Conservative Party; and when
Mr.. Warmoth-probably as bad man as
any party ever was cursed with, and one
personally identified with the worst legis-
lation in Leuisiana-wento over to the dem
ocratic ranks, he was warmly welcomed,
and the Southern whites undertook to
send him to the United States Senate. Do
these facts consist with the theory that all
white government is necessarily good, and
that those who will not trust exclusively
to it are, spse fdcto. in favor Of corruption
Again, in South Carolina, among some of
the earnest attempts at corruption were
certain schemes in connection with the
mari beds of that State. 1t is notorious
that. in forwarding these schemes by cor
rupt means. prominent Southern whites
were engaged. and freely under
took the bribing of their own for
mer slaves. Now of these two classes,
the ignorant and needy blacks, and the
educated and corrupt whites, we have nc
hesitation In saying that the briber was
worse than the bribe-taker and more re-
sponsible for the spread of bribery which
easued. And we must entirely decline,
under the circumstances, to hold that q
white skin and democratic label are alb.
solute proofs of political purity in Sout4
Carolina to-day.

leave the States in which they are perse-

enough to take the reins of government

administration at Washington this would
be about the only chance left for the

this might not protect them. And yet the
