EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10.

TIE WASHINGTON Press once "kicker,"
but which has submitted to the "malign In
fuence" of General Malone, says: That q
homogeneous people may DO the result OF
the mixture of heterogeneous elements In
this country ought to be the wish of all good
citizens" But the realization OF sucn
wish would not be in accordance with the
laws of nature. Physiology teaches that
m segregation is crime against nature, the
penalty of which is inexorable. The oppo-
sltion of the white people of the South to
negro equality Is only manifestation OF a
natural law; and. until human nature snail
be changed, republioanism, which, in the
South, means social equality, or, as the
Press expresses 1t, the making of homoge'
neous people out of heterogeneous elements,
can never succeed; and all who attempt 1t
will do as General Malone surely will next
November, come to we'll deserved grief.
