ties in the South are once startled by
these affairs, Northern communities
are shocked dozen times. 1t Is but
short time since two men at different
times were assassiDated In Philadelphia
one was very decent colored man, and
no man has yet been punished for either
OF these das ardly, cowardly affairs. In
baltimore few weeks ago young man
killed In the street in desperate fight
with pistols, the father of girl whom
he had ruined. And In New York in
Vulnerable atrocities are frequeHtly COM
mitted, while In Boston only few
days ago an old gentleman was horribly
murdered in his own dwelling in the
midst of the city in the early part of the
night.
Let the North make murder as terrible
to the guilty as the South has done and
1t will be free from these horrid crimes
of robbery, gagling,a aud smothering. and
stabblng as the South is. Too many
criminals are cleared by the cunning de-
vices of their hired attorneys. When men
who are known to be guilty Of such
crimes as was attempted in our own
midst by half doz. IN desperadoes, are
killed without delay and mercy, as the
laws intend they should be, we will
have fewer bank robberIes, and fewer

are gagged and killed for few dollars
of money, or trinkets Of jewelry. We
had better look nearer home. Murder
ers in the North are used as means
whereby the most honored profession
live, iourshes and grows fat. Wipe
out that stain and perfect character so
that it will not defend crime merely for
money and you will have less of these
horrid affairs for the South TO point to in
retaliation for the crimes done in her
midst over which she laments as deeply
as we do.
No, we shall not cease to "mind
Massachusetts and Rhode Island" In
the latter State poor men who own no
property are not allowed to vote by the
Republican party at all unless they are
negroes. No foreign born citizen can
vote. lie too finds himself the same
serf he was in Europe. The Republican
party fears to let poor men vote, or for
