TRYING TO RESURRRCT A
ISSUE.

The Wilmington Messenger contained
the following editorial the day after
the election:
1.-THE election is over. 1t is a good
time to do some plain talking. Hence
forth it is the duty of the Democratic
party to take care of itself and to make
it's next fight on the line of a White
Mans Government. 1t is useless to
try to conciliate Or,draW the negroes by
acts of kindness or by appropriations
of public moneys for their benefit. In
1894, nearly 80 years after their free,
dom, they rally to the cry of the selfish
white demagogues as readily, as sub
missively, as tamely as they did under
the full flush of liberation from a o
dition of slavery. The crack of the
white leaders, whip is enough to evoke
loudest belloWings and the most sub
servient actions. They may slight
them. curse them, "gobble up" all the
Offices, but start a campaign and tell
them to vote AGAINST the Democrats
who employ them-give them a place
in which to III their bread-and they
will vote as hidden every time.
This was a White Mans Govern
ment at the start, 1t must be kept a
White Mans Government, The eau
casian-or rather the Aryan has dOmi-
mated and will dominate wherever he
goes. He was born to rule. It is in
him. All races that stand in his way
will go down before it. The history of
thousands Of years shows this. The
yellow and black races can never resist
successfully his onward march or share
in his honors. 1t has not been so writ
ten.
ga White Mans Government is a
necessity for all-for the negro as well
as the white man. Let the Democratic
party cease to look farther to the negro
to help them in maintaining just, equal
and needed laws and for the upbuild-
ing Of the State. If education be a
necessity then the negroes should be
made to do their full share In obtaining
it, in providing for it if they r to be
the benefciaries of it, The white Rad
icals gave them scarcely anything in
the way of education, and nothing to
provide for their insane and deaf and
dumb. See what the whites have done
for them and their afflicted and by vol
untaTy taxation of themselves. When
elections come and damning, disgrace
full conspiracy and combination Is
formed to drive from Office the Demo-
cratic party, the ~ungrateful negroes,
though twenty years the recipients of
largest favors, turn against their
friends and benefactors, and vote to
put in the corrupt incapables. 1t Is
time for the Democracy to take a de-
cided, open, sQuare stand for a white
mans government in North Carolina.
That is weak and silly, and shows
how desperate the leaders of the d. O.
p. can be. "A white mans govern
ment'' indeed! This is a white mans
government and always will be. The
rules Africa, because it is a negro
country, though white people live
there, The French rule France because
it is their country, they are in a ma
jority, though other races live among
them. The Chinese rule China, because
they are-in a majority, but other races
live in that country. Just so in Amer
lea, The majority rule and the white
people are in the majority. No sensible
colored man wants to or expects to
rule this country. He simply wants
justice, an equal chance before the law.
AS a taxpayer and voter he asks for
what is due him and his people.
In North Carolina the Democratic
party has built an asylum, a creditable
one, for the colored insane. The A.
and N. College for the colored people
is a good institution, or will be. The
party has done much for them in an
educational way. But all the people
of the State have paid the bill. Many
