a white man. He was one of the prime
promoters Of Fisk University y-a chool
established d at Nashville, Tenn. for the
education of the negro, and is President
of the Board of Trustees of that Untsersi-
ty. Thus very strong plea Is made for
the negro vote upon the ground that Gen.
Fisk has always been the friend of the ne
gro, even when he was a slave.
THE Greensboro North State says it was
thought Mr.. J. B. Mason ''led the van in
the speaking at Graham.
Now this is good testimony II Mason
''led the van the other speakers must have
been born idiots. Mason is the lawyer
who defined a parol trust to be: when
one man takes another into his embrace
to do an inequitable act On one occa-
sion he began a speech in these words:
Fellow citizens: | can tell you how it is
agoing to be-" He also told the people
that there was a surplus in tie Treasury
of Is BILLION dollars
And yet this man '.led the van, accord
ing to the leading Radical organ. What
can be said of the others,
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept -S.-The Judge
of the Criminal Court has instructed the
grand jury to indict members Of the Cot
ton Bagging Trust, regardless Of the fact
that they do not live here Ex.
Good. Let them be Indicted and pun
ished. They are engaged in an unlawful
attempt to swindle the people Of the South
out Of upwards Of two millions Of dollars.
1t is the most wholesale robbery OF record
But, while the grand jury is indicting
the swindlers, would it not be a good idea
to take action against the advocates and
abettors Of the Robber Tariff which ALONE
MAKES SUCH COMBINATIONS POSSIBLE
Let the courts proceed They can do
something, but the only way to tear up
the evil at the root is To wipe out the Pro
tective Tariff
As ILLUSTRATINo HOW easy il is for a pub
lie speaker to be misunderstood We call
attention to the mistake made by some
=
Chas. b. Aycock, Esq, the really able and
convincing presidential elector IN the
Third district, made a speech in GoldsioIo
in the course of which he showed that the
Republican party Disseminated against
the laboring man To illustrate this he
stated that under the present tariff laws
ottar OF roses was admitted free of duty
while duty OF $50 Per cent was put upon
castor oil He said that castor oil was an
article Of necessity in Al families, but that
ottar of roses was something that 'DrDE~
put on themselves to keep from sinking
That seems PLAN enough and incapable
of any misunderstanding, and Yet II was
reported that Mr. Aycock abused the JEWS
and referred to their sinking \ mum
Der of gentlemen in Goldsboro are out III A
card saying that the mistake originated,
| entirely in the similarity of sound between
! the word. JEWS and DUDES
A DISCUSS of the negro question has
| for some time been going on IN the pages
! of the Forum, in which Senator Wade
| Hampton on one side and Mr.. Geo. ".
/ Cable and Senator Chandler. of New
! Hampshire, on the other side have partici-
| pated Now in the forthcoming October
| number. Senator Eustis, Of Louisiana
1 takes up the controversy in q way tha1
/ leaves no excuse for mlstaklng his mean
| ing. He proceeds at once to declare thai
! this '.questiOu is a running sore III oul
BODY polite, and he looks with no hope
of healing on Federal interference ol
Northern philanthropy and moral prescrip
/ tions He holds that the negro is by ma
ture, and by nature always will be, essent
| ially different from the white man; tha
the two races can never perfectly asslml
late that there will always be QUAS
hostility between them; that they can
not rule together but that one must rul
over the other. 10 prove this last asser
| ton he quotes al interesting chapter from
| Haytian history.
Senator Eustis does not discuss remedie
for this sore, because in the nature 0
things he doubts if there is remedy
| What nature has made i~reconcIlabe, h
does not know how to reconcile. But h
is firmly of the opinion that nothing is t
be gained by Northern agitation Of tn
subject. which he regards d. offenslv
when the history of the Importation Of IT,
negro is recalled The southern peopi
have the problem, and it ought to be lef
to their good sense and justice to solve II
If If can be solved at all. Certainly nc
body else can solve it.
