THE IDA WELLS CRUSADE.
Is She Worthy of Confidence or Re-
sDectS
[From the Chico Chronicle-Record.l

[From the Chico Chronicle-Record.l
The RECoRD-UNIoN OF Sacramento of
the 4th has an editorial on the notorious
negro woman Ida " ellis, who has been
travelling in England and delivering lee
lures on the Southern people. She has
returned to this country and the RECORD
UNION viewing the matter in a sensible
! light saws:
"But Ida B. Wells has now returned
and has created a good deal of trouble al
ready and set the press of the land over
into terment. She has begun a lectur-
ing tour here, her whole attention being
directed southerly. Her enthusiasm has
carried her and her clubs into bitterness
! OF speech against the South, and as re-
/ suit this apparent rancor has stirred up
the Southern people and press until the
old-time sectional talk Is beginning TO be
| resumed"
| 1t is not our intention to enter into any
discussion as to whether the Southern
| people have done their duty by the ne
gro. In the opinion of this writer they
nave done more than their duty, and
much more than the Northern people
would have done had they been con-
fronted with like situation aud SINH
lar problem growing out of it.
The writer of this happens to know
something of tho reputation of this Wells
woman, and the statements she makes
about the South and the Southern people
should be received with a great deal of
caution.
Ida Wells lived in Memphis, Tenn, at
one time, and if the REooRD-UNIoN is in
terested in this matter and would care to
know just how worthy of esteem, conf
dence or respect the woman is, it can OBJ
tain the information by addressing any
trustworthy person of that city. The
truth of the business is that there are too
many people all over the country who
are willing to believe the Southern peo-
pie capable of anything vile and disrep-
utable. They want to believe this of them,
and no matter who comes to them with
supply of lies that would cause the devil
himself to blush with shame, they take
them TO their bosom and drink in all they
have to tell. Those people who are so
fond of wallowing in such miro could not
understand the truth if they heard it;
they would not know it if they met it in
the road. But there are persons, honest,
well-meaning persons, who are woefully
deceived by such persons as this Wells
woman, and they can easily ascertain the
truth about her if they desire 10 do so
The Southern people will not suffer ma
terially by the ISLANDERS of this Wells
female, but we cannot censure them for
getting hot in the collar when they are SO
persistently and maliciously misrepre-
sented and lied about.
