IsTuI SOUTH I>HMAtL?
We have had a good deal more 10 say
reconflv of South Cardinals monde
script Senator. Tllman, than any merit
OF his own would justify. but sheer az
him as we will. Tinman utters the voice
OF large body Of men in this country
and his utterances are not TO be ignored
II the rest Of us want TO hold on 10 our
old institutions and to some part or
the worldly goods that we possess.
In the course OF the TRADE. which TIL
man delivered IN the Senate last Thurs
day. Of which we took some notice yes
terday. he spoke Of the South as the
"IshmaelHte section. which has no rights
which has never had any rights since the
war that anybody is bound to respect
As part OF the South We do most solemn
Iy protest against this Characterization.
Ishmael was the man who had his
hand against aI men. Now We do
insist that There is but little Of the
character Of Ishmam in the south If tho
South is left 70 herself. and no bad men
stir up bad passions and mislead her
into the part Of an aggressor that Is
Indifferent to the rights Of others. Leave
the Southern people 20 themselves and
the klndlincss and Justice OF their ma
ture will lead them into the largest and
broadest recognition Of and respect Tor
the rights OF au men.
But when bad men like Tillman APP
peal 20 their honest instincts ana harest
passions and stir them up TO thinking
that ono mans success SIS another mans
injury, then partisan band is enlisted
in the South that does present her in
wrong guise 20 the world, and their
actions do justify good men everywhere
i'm asking is Tho south then really the
Ihmacl OF the Union, with its hand
raised agains; everything and every man
that is fortunate enough % forge ahead
in the contests Of n,2
Something of the I-hmael has been cree
atel and developed 800 the South l'Ae-e
later years hy Tmman. and men ike
him. but it s. foreign 10 tho nature of
fbe Southern people. and their better nae
ture is going to slough 10 AN of in time.
when the South viii repent, in sack
cloth and ashes. that she ever allowed
her pohilcal fortunes 70 Do CUNT o''''
hy nor "'o
done her so much harm.
