In the community in which this writer
has lived there has been no tampering
with the baliot-box. But the Negro vote
has been controlled, and there rs peace
and even good feeling between the races.
Richmond, Va. State.
The above is amusing to those
who have recollections CT the WIsE-
WADDILL contest and the stuffing oi
the ballot box in the First Precinct,
Jackson Ward in May, '92 whereby
that Republican locality was made
to give a Democratic majority
| Oh, how happy feels the lion when
the lamb is lying down on the inside
of him !
Yes. it's ''peace and good-ieeling'
between the races.

VINE MEN AGAINsE LYNCH-LAW

For more than nine years we have
pleaded at the bar of public opinion
against lynch-law, believing that II
such an Notwithstanding was al
lowed to continue to exist. 1t would
undermine the foundation { our free
institutions, brutal'zs our people
and produce years of baood-shed
and misery as logical result. That
white men, actuated by tne purest
motives should see the danger and
take radical steps to avert It is as
highly gratifying to us asst must be
surprising TO the people themselves

Judging from the report of the
meeting at the Second Baptist
Church last Tuesday night, there
was nothing said with which we do

We believe in making haste slow

care that we do not IegaIize lynch.

We have no sympathy with a

EDITOR ADvOCAFE:-Who would be-
lieve that the american people would
longer tolerate a banking system that
would "play such fantastic tricks in
the sight of high heaven" as were
charged by Senators Coke, Vest and
Voorhees, in our last on this subject, if
we had not seen similar acts and crimes
on their part cOndoned heretofore, and
they allowed to 60 on again as if moth
ing had occurred to mar the equa-
nimity of community and much less
to spread ruin and devastation broad
cast over a continent and throughout
society. For the scenes depicted by
senators have been enacted every ten
years at farthest during the existence
of our government, as history proves
repeated again and again, and the
country victimized in the same manner
and to similar extent on each Occa-
sion. Peter Cooper bore testimony as
we have heretofore shown, that he had
passed through ten great panics that
paralyzed business and prOstrasted in
dustry for years, in each case. Rather
would one suppose, that as the Savior
scourged the same elements from the
sacred temple, so outraged society
would visit them with the bosom Of
wrath and annihilatiOn. 1t is an ex-
ample Of the creature making war with
its creator-waving a flaming sword
over the congress of the United States
and threatening death and destruction
unless its selfish purposes were COM
piled with. 1t ought to be summarily
dealt with, and punishment awarded
these "bodies without souls" as they
are denominated, such as inflicted upon
bodies with souls.
The fact is, the whole system is cor
rupt and rotten, and its product can
only be of the same nature and char
acter. Colonel Benton well described
them in a great speech in the senate in
1897, as follows: "Banks of circulation
are banks of failure. 1t is an incident
of their nature. Those without circu.
lation rarely fail. The Bank of Venice
stood 100 years, and those of Ham
burg, Amsterdam, and others, have
stood for centuries. The Bank of Eng
land, the great mother of banks of cir
culation, besides an actual stoppage of
a quarter of century, has had her
crises and convulsions in average
periods of seven or eight years for the
past half century, and has only been
saved from repeated failure by the
British government flying to its rescue
and furnishing its powerful support.
Her numerous progeny of private and
joint banks of circulation have run the
same career, and not being supported
by the government, have sunk by hun
dreds at time. The most of our banks
are banks of circulation, and as such
are subject to the same inherent dan.
gers and to new dangers peculiar to

and living true, useful life-must stay
outside, or get outside, all these social
circles and be self -Ostracized. Chains,
none the weaker for being silken or in
visible, enslave all who enter these en-
chanted circles. The true man, the
true woman, content with that great
society which God organized and which
embraces the human race, will refuse,
in these days of hope, to know any
'set" but human kind; but will cherish
most the miserable for whom fashion
able society knows only scOrn, and for
whom it builds prisons and scatfolds
after driving them to desperation and
crime.
