Your name is spoken of among
others. l have not heard or seen

your candidacy. 1t is time we were
knowing who the candidates are.
Some say you are a candidate and
some say you are not. l believe it

have discharged the duties of your
office faithfully and ably. 1t is also
conceded that your delicacy and
good taste may prevent an uninvi-
ted announcement of yourself as a
candidate while holding the posi-
tiOn of Judge. But as the question
Of your candidacy can be settled
only by yourself, you will please an
swer this through the press, so that
your friends may knoW whether or
not you are a candidate. Very re-
spectfully, +. G. Mcdowell.

certain that some decisive stand must now be
made to stop these cruel murders Of Innocent
men. Assassination for opinions sake, and
ballot-box stufing for the triumph Of Democ-
racy in the South must cease. The establish
ment Of law and order and full protection for
the safety of life and property must be Sc
cured peace which falls short of these re-
suits is but hollow mockery, pretense and
a sham. 1t is no fulflllment of the Appomat-
tox compact Of Grant and Lee.
The interest of the people in the question Of
equal civil rights is reawakened upon each re-
currence of the memorial day. And when
they reflect that substantially nothing has
been gained for the great issues in behalf of
which they fought, and for which so many Of
their comrades died, they renew their VOWS of
fealty to the great cause Of human liberty as
they bedeck the graves of their fallen braves
with flowers and water them with their tears.
This is only natural. The South should heed
the mutterings of the portending storm in
time, for ii the battle of human rights is to be
fought over again, the vengeance of de-
ceived and outraged people in the next conflict
will be fearfully effective. The cause of equal
civil rights and protection to life and property
from outrage by banditti and assassins will be
established beyond a peradyenture.

has THE WAR CEAsEpI

Gen. B. F. Butler delivered a memorial ad-
dress to the private volunteer soldiers of the
late war on Decoration Day In Music hall,
Boston, In which he clearly set fourth the
issues which were decided by the late appeal
to the sword. equal rights to alI' was the
embodiment of the grand issue. When the
cause was won and the Southern forces sur
rendered at Appomattox, giving their parole
of honor as soldiers that they would obey the
laws ofthe land, they bowed to the decision of
the question at issue. Bat are they keeping
the terms oftheir parole? Gen. Butler disclaims
the beliefthst the men who fought and lost and
gave their word of honor to abide the decision
are participants in the cruel negro murders
which so frequently occur in various sections
of the South. But he insists that it is the
duty of Union soldiers to demand that
the decision Of the war issues shall be
maintained ard that the fullest protection to
life and political privilege shall be accorded to
the humblest American citizen. He contrasts
in the most vivid and thrilling manner the
conduct of Southern Democrats regarding the
safety of American citizens and representa-
tiyes in Turkey with their apathy in reference
to the political murder of Republican citizens
in the South. Ships of war may be sent to the
Bosphorus to protect an American Consul
from insult, but not soldier can raise his
hand or his gun to defend the life or avenge the
blood of an American citizen in Louisiana or
Mississippi. Shall these things be is now the
question. VIII our American citizen soldiery
permit the results Of the war in which they
suffered so much to be thus frittered away and
sacrificed at this early day. VIII, the
Southern soldiers who gave their parole at
Appomattox allow themselves and their
pledged honor to be stultifed by the
actien of the brutal banditti and
cowardly assassins Of their own section! 1t is

DURING the earlier periods of this ses-
sion of Congress committees of investiga-
tion in the House organized secret inquisi-
tions, where regulations were slaughtered
without remorse or redress. This policy
worked very well SO long as the victims
were Republicans. but when a Democrat
is caught in the meshes of investigation
new era is opened. The case of Speaker
Kerr is in point. He was allowed to con-
front the witnesses who were called to
prove him guilty of corruption in Office,
and to rebut their testimony by his own.
Now, contrast this case with others where
Republicans are involved. Take that, if
you please, Of the Congressional Printer,

The scalping-knife has been achieving some
bloody work in the mountain Businesses and
on the plains of Dakota. Hundreds of white
men have been slain. Custer City has been
attacked, and the mining operations nearly
put to an end. An Indians vengeance has
been rendered in an Indians way, and now
some OF the press are calling the onslaughts of
the red men God daring and man-hating ma
lignity, which should be checked, even though
it result in the extirmination of the Northern
Sioux. What is the true cause of this trouble
While the Indian Bureau had complete con-
troll of these natives everything glided along
smoothly. No murders were committed, no
scalps were lifted and general quietude rested
upon the country from the Niobrara to Harney's
Peak. Something over year ago gold CLEAN
ers began to wander towards the charmed
bourne. and to trespass upon the reservation
which had been solemniy pledged to the Sioux
bv the United States. The Indians warned
these men to turn back. Time and again they
dispatched messengers to the little squads of
gold hunters and told them that they must
not invade their country, that it belonged to
them by the force of solemn treaty stipula-
tions, and any infringement upon their rights
would be punished according to the savage
idea of justice. They refused to heed
these repeated warnings, and the Indians,
true to their threats, commenced to re-
pei the invaders. Immediately the Gov
ernment dispatched troops to the res
eryatiou. 1t was given out that the
military was to occupy the Black Hills and
expel the Rcd men, while the whites plum
dered them of that which the Government
had pledged to them in apparent good faith.
The Indians, ever watchful, heard of this
scheme. Quick to protect themselves from
danger and military oppression, they at once
took the aggressive. Before they struck a
blow, however, they were attacked by band
of whites. Then the war was commenced,
and no less than four hundred lives have
since been sacrificed. For this the Indian is
cried down. A movement is made to effect
the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War
Department, and, in all probability, this So
called Indian war was inaugurated and Is
being prosecuted in order to bear its influence
in this measure. This vast expense of an
Indian war and all these lives would have
been saved had the Government afforded to
the Indians the protection they deserved ac-
cording to the treaty stipulations. The hands
of the Indian Bureau are free from the blood
stains which can be to-day found in the Hills
and on the plains of Dakota. But to the
negligence of the Government in affording pro-
lection from white Invasion to the Indian, and
to the over anxiousness of the army to strike
the trail of war, can be traced the awful re-
sponsibility Of the ghastly scenes that are now
transpiring in the land Of the Sioux.

THE Petersburg Indez Appeal, not con
tent with having the Democrats counted in
at the late fraudulent election in that city,
is engaged in reading lectures to the De-
mocracy of Lynchburg, where fair cleo
ton was held, over the success Of the Re-
publican ticket in the latter city. 1t would
fain have its party friends in Lynchburg
resort to the nefarious devices that obtain
in Petersburg on election day. Such a
thing is not likely to occur while the pres
ent mayor holds the reins of municipal
government. With its accustomed disre-
gard of the truth the Indez- Appeal says /:
"Mr. Burch was elected mayor of Lynch
"burg some years ago as an independent
candidate" The truth is, and we know
whereof we speak, Mr.. Burch was the
regular nominee of the Republican party
the first time he was elected, as he has been
at both the subsequent elections. The

beat him, and "that's what's the matter" !"
