Let us turn now from this Repub.
lican! Journal to Democratic iur.
nal which is governed by sentiments
of justice and fair play and not pro-
JUDGE. Treating on the same sub
ject the Chattanooga Times of Sun
day Aug, 4th says
"Our impatient friends, who find
the negro freeman an irksome, trou-
b'esome object; those who, because a
half generation Of freedom an edu-
cation have not made him in allthings
desirable. despair Of his final elevat>
ion to reasonably high plane of
civilization; those who can see only
"race collisions" in the future and
euthanasia for the negro-to all these
we would say, be patient. Wait The
negro is now worth ten times as much
to himself and his country as he was
twenty years ago. Judging the fu-
ture by the past we should hope,
should we not belive, that he will go
farward, become better citizen, a
better lahore, a more and more use
ful member Of the body poll ic?
And if the probabilities were all
the other way, we can see no good
in ceasing the effort to enlighten,
moralize and generally elevate this
inferior race, that is here by no choice
of its own but because the white man
brought him by force, made him a
slave for 24O years, then freed him
and made him a citizen. AS we see
it, not only is the interest of the
white man, but his honor, his hu-
manity, his christianity-all these
are involved in right solution of the
issue which is not All issue between
races but one for the master race a.
lone to deal with as becomes the
boasted enlightenment Of the Anglo
American family"

The odious Lease System,
Age Herald.

Age Herald.
We copy the following very sensible
remarks from the Fort Payne Herald:
The Herald has never given express,
sion to its views on the convict lease sys-
tenn, but it desires to 60 upon record as
being opposed to that system IN general
principles. 1t believes that it is mis-.
take almost bordering apon crime to
compel honest labor to come into COM
petition with convict labor. Labor is
honorable, but so long as free labor is
compelled to compete with the labor of
criminals, it must be degraded. Em-
ployers of convicts pay so little for their
labor that it makes it next to impossible
for those who give work to free labor to
compete with them in any line of busi-
ness. AS a result, the price paid for Ia
Dor is based upon the price paid COM
victs.
Many OF the Northern States have seen
the Injustice of the convict lease system,
and it has been abolished. The lease
system is not calculated to better the
condition of the laboring classes in the
South. On the contrary, it does just tt e
opposite. The Herald hopes to see the
lease system abolished in Alabama, and
the sooner the better.
Everything herein stated is true, and
the Herald might have urged still furth-
er reasons why the lease system must be
abolished. 1t discriminates as much
against capital as it does against labor.
Those mine owners who employ COM
victs get their labor 80 per cent cheaper
than those who employ free labor
Then it is productive of public scandal
and brings the state into i'll repute
abroad.
We fully concur with the Herald in
hoping to see the lease system abolished
in Alabama, and emphasize its assertion
that "the sooner the better. "-Mercury

Recent Alabama Appointments

President Harrison this week made
two excellent appointments in this
state,-
Julius G. Bingham, Register and
Nathan Alexander, Receiver at the
U. S, Land Office at Montgomery,
Ala. The former is a worthy young
of high standing and the son Of Hol
Arther Bingham. whose record as a
consistent and tried Republican dates
back to the days of reconst' uction.
The latter, MIR. Alexander, is
gentlemen of culture and character,
with an enviable record in the COM
munity of Montgomery where he
has resided from boyhood. His re-
cord as faithful, painstaking and
Efficient clerk in the Office of Collec-
tor of Internal Revenues, under the
amented James I. Rapier bespeak
for him an enimently successful ad-
ministraton of the affairs Of the res
ponsible position for which the Pres
ident has named him.
The GAZETTE exteL de Its cOngrat-
ulations to the appointee and for the
colored people of Alabama returns
thanks to the President for this fur.
ther evidence of his friendship and
proof of his intention to reward mer-
it regardless of color. The bottom
has about entirely dropped out OF the
story that this Administration was
foe to the Negro. Let the good work
proceed.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Nirginius Harris Killed by the Dis.
charge Of His Gun.

The city was thrown into a state of
shocked excitement last Thursday on
learning that Mr. V. G. Harris was shot
and killed about $50 o'clock while out
hunting.
From the statement of Mr.. Jno. Organ,
his brother in.law, who was with him at
the time; Mr.. Harris had stopped to rest
at the bridge on the road leading to
Maysville about half mile from the city
limits, and seeing few peaches on a
tree growing up out of the ditch, rested
the butt of his gun on the rock wall and
reached for the fruit. The brich of the
gun slipped over the wall and allowed
the hammer to strike against the rocks,
discharging both barrels into his thigh.
The charge entered his thigh few in
ches above the knee, ranging up,
,vered the femoral artery and mangled
the flesh terribly. He lived only few
Misunderstanding to death.
Mr.. Harris WAS gun smith by trade
and was proticien in the use Of fire arm t,
and it is strange fatality that one so ac.
customed to the use of gun should be
fatally injured from carless handling.
He was Vice>President of the Madison
County Gun Club and took great interest
in the affairs of the club-was one of it's
most active members-and he will be
sadly missed in its meetings.
He leaves wife and family of small
children who who need and will have
the sympathy of the entire community.
His sad death will cast gloom over
the future enjoyment of the Clubs in
their practices, in which so much inter-
terest is being taken just now.

Look on this Picture, and theh
on that.

The editorial below is from the
Huntsville Independent and is re-
markable as coming from Journal
which claims to be R'publican, and
supported by Republican patronage.
Under the caption 1.-The Race Issue, "
The Independent Of August 9TH says;
The race issue seems to be the
absorbing topic Of the day. There
are more sides to this question than
any question within our knowledge
and there is no question to which we
have given more attention. and with
less satisfaction to ourselves. There
can be no doubt about the SUPERIOR
ty of one race over the other and 1t
occurs to us that the question should
be put thusly: What disposition will
the whites make of the colored race!
When fairly considered the colored
race is but a speak on the horlson.
They represent but small portion OF
cur voting strength; they possess com
paratively little education and pay
hut a m.re trihe of the taxes OF this
government. These facts when con
s;dered in connection with the fact
that more has been done for the ne
gro race than ever was done tor any
other race on earth, and that BY the
government of the United States
must have great weight with the
people in making up a verdict otlii
the race who was suddenly released
from bondage. and started into po 1
tical freedom with the modest de-
mand of forty acres and mule, but
TODAY want to own the world, do not
in realty cut much Of a figure when
brought into solid contact with the
white people of this government ID
other words the colored brother had
better 90 slow and avoid for ever a
war that will end in his utter destruc
t;on We are we'll aware that the
ax;stence of two races in one locality
is perpetual menace to that locality
or the government under which we
live. Messrs, Ingalls,, Warner and
others consider that the one act OF
the instantaneous elevation Of race
Of ignorant slaves to the high estate
Of American citizenship was utterly
devoid of craftsmanship. Devoid or
not of craftsmanship, it was done and
done with an iron hand. And while
It ia true that the Union was res>
tored, still this one incident of the
restoration, the liberation Of the
saves or their enfranchisement, Gre
ated far less respectable but more
dangerous enemy to the peace of our
than that ever indicated
bv the vilest secessionist OF the
land"
