Pennsylvania by mercenaries, result
ing in homicide and arson in each
instance, was a proper exercise of
the power under the law to employ
whom capital may be pleased to en-
ploy, and what then?
Once has the country been rocked
from center to circumference by a
conflict between free labor and
slavery. The principle which pre-
vailed was the principle of the la
Dor organizations, that labor should
receive that which it creates. In
changed form, but with the same
force at work, the same question
now presses for settlement. The
effort Of the Peoples Party is to
settle it by ballot. That Of the Re
publicans and Democrats is to either
prevent its adjustment at all, or to
assume that laws made by capital
provide the only settlement needed
or possible. Is it necessary to say
that if their position be true, then
the republic has become a-means of
oppression?

Governor Jones cannot afford 10
remain silent under the imputations
contained in Kolb's answer. There
was good excuse seventeen years ago
for the high handed methods re-
sorted to in the Southern States Tor
their rescue from carpet-bag mis-
rule, but the time is past for lawless
tactics. In the campaigns that made
those times forever memorable, and
ever since, the leading argument OF
Democrats has been that the will
of the majority of the white people
must govern. The independent who
undertook to control any Southern
States by adding the black vote to a
minority of the whites was de-
nounced as a renegade and traitor to
his race and section, because it was
said a river cannot rise higher than
its source. If a majority of the
independents support came from
Africa, then it must follow that the
administration would be African.
Now, if Kolb got a majority Of
the white vote of Alabama, does not
this principle clearly entitle him to
the office Can Governor Jones
afford to set up an Africanized adj
ministration
But if, as is doubtless the case, the
Jones side, finding the white vote
going to Kolb, neutralized it by
stuffine and other frauds, not only
in the black belt, but also in many
white counties, can Governor Jones
afford to take office? Should he not
follow the example already set by
humber candidates counted in along
with himself? Indeed, should he not
have fastened to set the example ?
The situation in Alabama is not
unlike that in South Carolina, where
the fiercest campaign in the history
Of the State is now in progress.
Ben Tillman, the farmers governor
and candidate for reelection, boldly
proclaims that the fight which he
leads is one between the poor, plain
people on the one side and the arts
tocracy on the other. So in Ala
bama, Kolb is supported by good
majority Of the common" white
people, whose right to govern is de-
MED by the professional class and
the rich, who are the aristocracy of
the Southern section. z.

Perhaps the biggest barbecue and
rally Of the Peoples Party in the
Fifth district this campaign will be
at Jonesboro next month. The
meeting will represent the three
counties Of Campbell, Clayton and
Forsyth, and already meats enough
have been pledged to feed several
thousands. Speakers Of State repu-
tation have promised to be present.
The Constitution seemed to be
greatly puzzled to know what posi-
ton to take on the election in Ala
bama. Jones' friends at first seemed
to stand on the position that he was
elected by negro votes, and the Con
stitution fastened to rejoice and
congratulate the South upon the fact
that the blacks were seeing the error
Of their ways, and would henceforth,
by being tackled on to the minority,
constitute the democratic party !!
But the Jones people soon realized
that that doctrine would involve the
eating of twenty years Of argument
on the white supremacy question,
and they fastened to claim a white
majority at all hazards, and the
Constitution ever since has looked
like a boy who has dropped his
biscuit.

Pronunciation of Foreign Names.

The proper pronunciation of foreign
names is often pulling matter. De
Maupassant, the French author, whose
first name is spelled Guy" gave it the
sound of Gwee before he lost his mind He
probably has forgotten it altogether now
1t is said that there are about as many
pronunciations of the title khedive, the
most recent bearer of which is dead, as
that ruler is entitled to wives-though he
really had only one spouse. But it seems
to be admitted by the experts that the
word should be pronounced khed-ee-vee,
with the accent on the first syllable.
