Dsqgse Growing Out Of Colored and White
fS Alliance Coalition.

The warning uttered by the Registe,
a to The dangers which the farmers
may expect from the colored Alliances,
TO the support and protection OF which
they are pledged by the treaty made at
OcelA, was not idle or premature, says
the Mobile Register. The newspapers
ut the South which represents the AL
liances are spreading political misceg-
nation literature broadcast over the
South. The Byhalia MISSY Journal
publishes cartoon which represents
. "Southern colored Allianceman'
shaking hands across a chasm with a
''Southern white Allianceman." Un-
der the Southern colored Alliance
nan''are the words: Ignorant Fear" ="
and "Clouds Of misunderstanding in
bold type. Under the Southern white
AlliAnceman" are the words: Race
Prejudice in the same bold type. In
the ekasm is a figure representing
broken Hindo idol bearing the inscrip-
tion: ,"Fetich Of Negro Supremacy"
and the broken idol is beingthrown in
to the chasm by a half angel and a half
cupid, bearing q crowbar marked
acknowledges, and wearing sash upon
which is printed ''Brotherly Love-
This cartoon is from the house of A.
N. Kellogg of Chicsg Kansas City
aud elsewhere. II bears the title,
1.-THE Race Question Solved" and un-
derneath is the following dialogue:
Colored Allianceman-Brother, you
quit the Democratic party and I will
give up Republicanism, and we will
both vote for our homes and firesides.
White Allianceman-Shake, brother
shake. The plutocrats just keep up
the cry OF negro supremacy" to keep
US divided, while they rob us of our
hnerties and reduce us to pauperism
aid serfdom.
This is the kind OF plate matter that
is appearing In the Alliance papers.
1t is manufactured at the foundry up
on orders sent to it by the head men OF
the, ALLIANCE at Washington and it is
being published broadcast over the
South. The Meridian Ne,rs has the
following comment upon this new fea-
ture Ct political literature in Missis-
sippi:
The Ners desires to know if Editor
Burkitt, Editor Barksdale. Editor Hen
ry, Congressman Lewis and the AL
lance leaders OF this State approve of
such vicious cartoons. Are they for
that kind of a political fight? Is it
the "Southern Colored Alllianceman"
combined against what is termed trace
and ignorant fear" of the
'fetich OF negro supremacy. .....

be Of anything that the rank and file of
the Alliance Of this State disapprove
Of Il combination with the negro against
everybody else outside the Alliance.
What the Ne,rs wants to know is. do
Burkitt, Barksdale and other leaders
approve of such Alliance literature?
If they do, then it is high time that
the white people Of this State should
know it. If they do not, then they
should lose no time in condemning it.
The Netcs had seen it charged that
such cartoons were being sent out from
the houses of Kellogg in Chicago and
and distributed in other
States: but the News had no idea that
such cartoons as the one that appears
in the Byhalia Journol had gained cir
cula.ion in Mississippi.
They are harmful to the most OK
tremr degree, and preach u political
doctrine that is inimical to the best in
terests Of the white people of this State.
The doctrines of such cartoons are dam
gerous They should be condemned
upon every side.
The issues in Mississippi. no matter
what they may be, are between the
white people OF the State The ne
yro has nothing to do with them. To
mention the negro in their connection
S an insult to the intelligence and to
he moral and social welfare OF the
State.
