THE negro was neither bulldoZed nor
suppressed from 1865 TO 1874, and for ten
years he swarmed in Southern legislatures,
Southern postofhces, Southern city coun-
ellis and other places of honor and-pelf.
What was the result? Bankrupt treas
uries, confscating tax rates, social deg
relation, dilapidated homes, hopeless
ness and blight everywhere. But the
Caucasian asserted himself, and what is
the result? Low taxes, solvency, pro-
gress, prosperity and hopefulness. When
the Republican party can make the
earth 20 stand still and water to
run up stream it can subject
the white to the dominion of the black
race. The days of "'forty- acres-and-a-
muIe' viii never come in this country
again, although hope as vain and dream
as illusory are still held out to the negro
by the accursed agents of destruction in
the interest of party.

The Prosperity of the Southern States.

Philadelphia Record.
Much has been written about the in
crease of mining and manufacturing
operations in the Southern states, and
the growth in this direction has been
marvellous; but better than new FORCES
factories and mines IS the report of in
creased production of beef and bread
stuffs. The South now has the capacity
to feed itself without drawing on its in
come from cotton, The value of the
South IS agricultural products for 1888
900, 900 in 1879, while 1889 Will probably
show 5000 900, 900 to $3.50, 900 900.
The value of the South's live
stock is now S575, GOO 900, while
in 1879 it was 1891 400 600. The
production of grain rose from 431 ,074, =
$50 bushels in 1880 to C32 ,G66 900 bushels
in 1888, and this year will probably show
over six hundred and eighty million
bushels, an increase of nearly two hun
dred and fifty million bushels.
1t is such facts as these that assure the
prosperity of the Southern states. The
planters have long stood at the front of
all other producers in contributing the
material for covering the nakedness of
mankind. If they should be also able to
help feed the nations as well as to clothe
them, what more could they desire? The
artisans, traders and professional people
would flock to such q land of plenty as
crows gather in a corn field. They are
but the frippery that adorns the garment
of our civilization

They See Their Folly.

Jefferson Davis was the leader in a rebellion
the folly Of which has been demonstrated 10 all
the world, including his own section of country.
If there are people still left in the latter region
who have not realized its wickedness, the sub
ject is hardly worth discussing with them
Boston Herald.
Yes, there are about eighteen million
people down here who have not been able
to see where the wickedness comes in .
But every one Of them now realizes the
folly of trying TO whip the world. They
don t care TO discuss it, however. They
know when they are licked, which shows
they have more sense than the Wanted
Britishers.

memphis Avalanche.
The Republican organs and spouters
that make a speciality of cursiug South
erners for dealing promptly with inciplent
negro riots, have never failed to repre-
sent the brother in black as the most in
offensive and altogether lovely being Oh
earth. 1t is, therefore, with a pard0ua-
BILE satisfaction we call their attention 10
the outbreak yesterday at Lawreucevills,
III.
According to the Associated Press re-
port, a negro tough attacked and
wounded q white man with a knife and
then ran amuck through the streets of the
town slashing at everybody he met, in
Guiding the judge of the county court,
who knocked him down. The savage
Senegambia was arrested, wheraupOu a
mob of negroes attacked the officers for
the purpose of rescuing him. After q
hard fight four Of the mob were over
powered and jailed with the originator ot
the row. Then the negroes of the place
armed themselves, made an attack on
the Jail and rescued the prisoners. Tho
pIucky judge got together a squad OF
white men, and after another encounter
in which the judge and five other whites
and q number of negroes were vOundedI
the law triumphed. At last accounts q
heavy guard was on duty at the jail and
great excitement prevailed.
This story would cit almost every
Grace riot in the South. In respect Of
the cause of the trouble and its results &c
is an exact reproduction of similar occur
rences in this part of the country that
have brought down the vilest abuse on
our people. a negro who violates the
law in the person of a white man has
generally the sympathy of his race, anu
it is never difficult to raise a mob in BIS
behalf wherever there is a chance to -sE
him off. Naturally, such movement -
met by a counter organization Of the
whites, and then come the fireworks.
The Avalanche is not sorry that this
outbreak occurred. 1t is about time tho
Northern people had the poisoned black
chalice presented to their own lips, THAI
they may know how IL is themselves.
Sorry the judge was hurt, though. lie
is game enough to be sheriff in the Mis-
sissippi bottoms.

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY AND THE

! THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY AND THE
Ne GRO.
Certain papers in the North have been
/ making a good deal of fuss recently
/ about the fact that the negroes have so
| little representation IN the administra-
/ ton of the government, charging the
! fault upon the Democratic party. 1t
! takes but a short glance at the figures to
show how iusincere is their pretended
grief over this state of affairs. But one
colored man was elected to congress at
| the last election, it is true, but he was
| elected from a Southern state; all the
| postmasters, all the members of legisla-
lures, all the offices of any kind, state
or national, held by oolored men are in
the Southern states, with the exception
Of some in the District of Columbia and
very few unimportant foreign appoint
ments not desired by white Republicans.
In the Texas legislature are coIored men,
and during the last session no members of
that body were heard with more respect
when they arose to speak. In almost
every Southern state we find the same
thing. Here there IS race division, and
a large majority of the negroes are OPP
posed in politics to the almost unani-
nous body of whites. How is it
in the North? Let Us look at
some of the states where the
strength of the two parties is so nearly
equal and the colored population so large
that the negro voter has the balance of
power, ana see how they are treated by
the party TO which they make victory
possible.
IN Illinois there is a negro vote of TO-
900. The majority for Fifer was less
than twenty thousand, and had the ne
gro vote gone to Palmer he would have
been elected. No colored member of
congress goes from Illinois to Washing
ton; no Illinois county is represented in
the legislature by negro; no American
citizen of African descent stands at the
window of any Illinois postofice dispens-
ing mail and stamps.
Indiana gave q majority for Harrison.
but the negroes held the balance of DOW
er; New York went Republican last year,
thanks to the negro voters; Ohio, with
out the colored man, would be a certain
Democratic state, yet in none of these is
any political reward given the man and
brother for his faithfulness. Would it
not be well for the Northern Republican
to do something for the negro who stands
at his own door, before foaming at the
mouth about the ills suffered by those
who live in the South? -Four of the large
states of the Union are saved to the Re
publican party by the negro vote, giving
that party the presidency and 100 900
minor Office holders, and as yet the negro
in those states are without their reward

West Texas has been made to pay tribute
to the balance of the state for a long

hard, with other parts of the state to see

4 GREAT WINTER RESORT

A GREAT WINIE R RESORT.
Denver, on account of being about ten
degrees cooler in summer than the cities
East and South, and for having a dry g,
undulating surface and artesian water,
has gained just reputation as summer
resort.
Then why not make Fort Worth which
has temperature twenty degrees warm
er than Denver in winter, winter re-
sort? If Denver has seventy wells of
pure artesian water, Fort Worth has 40.
If Denver has an undul 4hng surface and
good drainage, Fort Worth has more.
Fort Worth is established on limestone
rock, which takes in no miasma and gives
out no malaria.
Fort Worth has had the lowest annual
death rate of any city in the Union.
This morning ss a gentleman of wide
experience, of great financial ability,
and who had just arrived on the morning
train, stood at the bridge on the bluff
north of the courthouse and looked up
and down the Trinity river, he pro-
nounced the bluff as one of the hand
soonest places to build a resort hotel in
all the United States.

THE sentimental talk about Bob
YOunger's being allowed to die in prison
is the worst kind of rot. The sentence
of the court was imprisonment for life
and the governor of Minnesota con-
strued it literally. He did right. a few
more deaths of the same kind would be
a blessing to the country. There has
been too much picturing of the bold
highwayman riding calamity forth rob-
biug people of their valuables, and few
glimpses of the other side of the picture
will have a good effect. The youth of
the country who want to be Jesse
Jameses and Bob Youngers and who
would even look on death with their boots
on as a sort of honor, will turn with hor-
ror from the scene of convict's slow
death by consumption. The lesson is
a good one. Bob Younger deserved to
die as he did, and his death will have a
Salutary effect.
