Threat ened Political Misoegenation.

People who are not accustomed t..
look beneath the surface for motives
are surprised at the stand taken by tie
Houston Post, which threatens the
Democratic counties of Northwest
Texas that if they do not submit to
the lease system the negro hordes of
East and South Texas will vote TO
force that system on them, willy-nilly.
The POSTS argument is in brief this /:
South and East Texas want to educate
their children, and want the lands of
Northwest Texas 10 pay for that edu-
cation. Now, the mass of the negro
population of Texas is in East and
South Texas, and therefore in favor of
the lease system. They pay little or
no taxes themselves for the schooling
of their picaninnies, but want the
Northwestern counties to provide a
fund to pay for their education. The
Post threatens that if resistance is
made to the lease system in North
Texas, the lease-law men will organize
the negroes and vote them solid for the
lease law.
This is not an idle threat. Here are
few of the counties of East and
South Texas in which the lease system
is most strongly favored and their
black and white population in 1850:

The ratio of scholastic to total popu-

in these counties 80, colored and
27,S45 white school children. There
can he little doubt that the fathers of
these colored children will vote for any
scheme that promises to make the
white people pay for their education.
Democrats OF Texas, what do YOU
think of this? Has the time
arrived in the history of this
state when the Democratic party
IS to be used as an instrument
for expressing their own people to pro-
vide school fund for the negro? Are
they Democrats who abet this scheme =?

by the wire fences of pastures leased to
corporations, all to furnish money for
the education ofnegroes? 1t was white
