To stop Lynching.

(Abbeville IS. CD Press and Banner)
A large meeting OF colored people In
Columbia recently passed a long string
OF resolutions asking the Governors IN
PREVENTION 10 save members OF their race
from lynching. But there was not a
word OF condemnation OF the cause that
leads to lynchlng. The trend OF the reso-
mtions seemed TO be IN excuse or pollia-
ton OF the crime OF assaulting women.
The authors Of the resolutions want the
criminals TO have a chance OF escape In
the courts. To stop the lynching OF
negroes Is just as easy as falling OF a
log. In the negroes themselves. and In
them alone. lies the power OF arresting
the work % those who mete out Justice
20 the criminals who assault women. II
they refrain from violence all lynchings
would cease The Governor Is powerless
the stop the lynching OF negro men who
lay violent hands on white women. No
one has yet committed that crime ana
lived. and we presume that no future
offender will be more lucky than his pre-
decessors. II the negro leaders would use
proper effort II is not unlikely that they
could induce their young men 10 refrain
from violence. The resolutions OF the
Columbia negroes may embolden evil
hearts. If so, the crime viii surely be
punished.

Cnnfnin Ashe's plan.

(CharlOtte IN. - ObSerFer)
The wilmington Messenger IS moro
disposed than ever before to think II
would be a good thing for the state and
IT'S civilization TO compel voters 70 be
able 10 read and understand the Consti-
tuition Of the United States and OF North
Carolina in order to vote, and that idiots
should be excluded from the privilege"
Why. certainly, and Captain S. a. Ashe
has pointed out the way in which this
can be effected, and without resort 10 the
urdemocratic system OF compulsory edu-
cation and without depriving any present
voter OF the right he now enjoys. Cap
tain Ashes plan is that no person coming
Of age hereafter shall be permitted TO
vote unless ne be able to read and write,
but that no ignorant person now over p
be debarred from voting. BY an easy
and gradual process ignorance would thus
be driven from the polls, and while this
process was at work the most powerful
stpulus would be given the cause OF
education a greater incentive TO become
an educated person could hardly be set
before a youth than 10 give him the
knowledge that unless he had at least the
basis OF an education he could not vote
when he became Of age. We have never
seen or heard Of a scheme so entirely
practical, and which gave the same
promise OF effecting the two results-the
elimination of the ignorant voter and the
promotion OF the cause Of education.

II Stirs the American Blood.

While there is, undoubtedly, a kind
of 'jingoism" that merits criticism.
nevertheless if the popularity and gen.
eral application of the term is not les
sened by the authenticated reports
concerning the murder of DIR. Ruiz
then is there a considerable portion OF
our people more stirred by the ups and
downs of the stock market than by the
cries and groans of American citizens
unjustly and illegally confined in
Spanish dungeons and subjected to
torture from which death must be
welcome relief. Admitting the possi-
bility that the report of those fortunes
may be somewhat exaggerated, also
that the protection of American citi-
zenship has been used to some extent
by Cuban filibusters to aid them in
their enterprises, there remains evil
dent and satisfactory proof Of the
diabolical cruelty of the Spaniards and
of their determination to absolutely
refuse to heed all International obliga-
tons and to insult everything Ameri-
can enough to make ones blood boil
in righteous Indignation. The Cleve-
land administration has FASTENED the
processes Of courts, has made every
the spirit of every obligation toward
Spain. has expended thousands of dol
lars in patrolling our coast in the in
terests, really, of Spain, has in effect
assisted in the work of destroying
American investments in Cuba, has
throttled any attempt on the part of
Congress to interfere and now in the
last days of it's existence is supinely
acquiescing in Spain's outrages upon
the American flag and is doing nothing
effective to prevent such atrocious
deeds as that which encompassed the
death of DR.. Ruiz
1t is not. however, SO much what the
administration has done or left I'M
done as the impression it has allowed
Spain to have that it is not prepared to
exact the utmost respect in return for
it's utmost compliance with all the, in
any way supportable demands of that
country upon this government. Indeed
it has not required strong magma
ton to infer that the sympathies Of the
administration are rather with Spain
than with the insurgents. The very
evident impotence OF Gen. Lee with
the administrators dallying indicates
as much. This is no more unacconnt-
able than was the evident sympathy OF
