SOUTHERN NATIVES TA11,l ,,

It NAV not be that the Republicans are
working to keep ''sold South, but the
appointment of negroes and carpet bag
gers to important offices is doing the
work unless Southern white men have
lost their manhood and self respect. The
only Southern man in the cabinet is a
New Highlander living in Maryland.
Those appointed to big places from the
South-.Powell Clayton, of Arkansas;
Clay Evans, of Tennessee; Buck, of
Georgia; Youngblood, of Alabama-they
are all natives of Northern States and
owe their appointment to Northern in
fiuences. The new Collector of Internal
Revenue at Richmond and new District
Attorney in Alabama are also carpet
ba and the new Collector of In
ternal Revenue in Georgia is negro
barber.
The South has received no recogni-
ton whatever, except the places given
Col. Boyd and Ki Gudger. The next
good place North Carolina will get will
be given to carpet Dagger Hiram L..
Grant in recognition of his subserviency
to big corpora ions in times of need. If
YOU talk in private to any Southern
born Republicans, you will find that they
are indignant over their treatment, nine
ont of ten of them having sacrificed
their convictions and duty to their own
people for the sake of getting an Office.
Mr.. Mckinley is conscious of their in
feriority and that is why he treats them
with an i'll concealed contempt. They
are entitled to no sympathy, for they
had no scruples against throwing over
the schools and local government to ne
groes and carpet baggers all over the
South in 1868, and in every other South
ern State now when they can do so.
They never kick about the negro and
the Yankee politician except when they
get Offices the Southern Republicans ex-
pected to get. The appointment of ne
gro collectors anu pOSlIldSltlS III oCoi = Il"
end North Carolina is all right to them
if they can also manage to squeeze in.
1t is only when they are out in the cold
that they damn the negro and declar~
that ''there is free masonry amo ;
carpet baggers.'
Secretary of State Gambler. of Georgia,
shows that he carries level head when
he said day or two ago:
'sThe best thing that could have
happened to the Demo ciaic p@rty In
Georgia is the course which has been
pursued ty the president CT the Uni
ted States il giving al the little
three dollar Crossroads postoftices to
the Pcpulistc, and all the impU tant
federal offices to the regrces. The
result CT this is that ell of the Pep
ulists who are Democrats at hear,
and this means more than half OF
the entire party in Thu State, Will
come eek home whe1e they belon"
while these who are in the third PAL
| tv only for what they can get out
of it will go to the Republican pr
ty. where they belong"

ARE THE TICKETS HEADY?

The law ordering the election upon the
local school tax on Tuesday after the
second Monday in August makes it the
duty of the county commissioners to fur
rish ballots in every township. Has this
been done? The friends Of the measure In
all the townships should look after this
matter, and if the tickets have not been
sent out should apply to the Register OF
Deeds and see that they are at the pre-

Mck,Nl ey--LYNCuING--OHIO STATISTICS.

Mr.. Mckinley was the first President
who took occasion in his inaugural ad-
dress to denounce lynch law. He was
as silent as Republican politicians of the
South are with reference to the crime
that invites lynch law. He was infiu-
enced to incorporate this declaration in
to his message by negro politicians. 1t
was an easier way of pleasing them
than by giving them offices in Ohio. In
asmuch as the Federal government has
no jurisdiction in the States, that de-
claration was as empty as expressions
of sympathy with the struggling Cubans.
The carnival of lynching and the crime
which precedes it seem to mock the
Presidents denunciation of lynching. 1t
would not be right to charge that the ut
terances of the President are response
BILE for the crime that has marked his
administration, unprecedented we believe
in the history Of the country. 1t is new
ertheless true that ignorant and mean
negroes feel that when the Publican
narty is in power they have license that
they do not enjoy when the party OF
their white neighbors is in control of gov
eminent This feeling is intensified
when they hear the President in his in
augural address thunder out against
lynching and remain silent upon the re-
voting crime that almost always pre-
cedes lynching. OF course Republican
officials enforce the law and are horri-
fed at the crime, but those who fail to
cry out against the outrages committed,
if not indirectly responsible, ought at
least not to be heard in denunciation Of
the lynching that follows.
If Mr.. Mckinley, instead of politi-
cal illumination against lynching, had
warned his colored supporters to refrain
from the commission of their crimes that
brings them to a sudden death, he might
have set influences in motion that would
have checked the tide of crime and mob
law that is blot on the whole country.
Instead Of doing so, he fell into the US
ual Republican political cry to please
his negro supporters. The statistics on
lynching in Ohio, compiled by the Col
umbus, Ohio, Dispatch from an investi-
CATION of the records of the penitentla-
ry of that State shows that the Ohio pen
itentiary has received during the past
ten years 261 persons convicted Of the
crime of rape, of whom 211 were white
and 40 negroes. Commenting ON these
statistics, the Charleston News and Cour-
Ter says:
''The proportion CT negroes is very
large, CT couise, ir view of the
small colcred ropulat ton CT the State,
but what is to be said CT the rumber
of white cIiminals of the same class

NOW YOUsSEE IT AND NOW YOU DON'T

A correspondent Of the Winston Sen
tinel suggests that it would save money
if the commissioners would take steps to
enlarge the Jail before September LIST,
when parties not paying their taxes will
have to go to Jail. The correspondent
has evidently not learned that the gang
now in power CONSTITUTES the law to suit
itself, each sheriff being the supreme
court. The law will be executed when it
will give the sheriff a greater pull for re-
election; it will be violated when, by SO
doing, the sheriffs can advance their
own and their party's interests.

Some people are afraid of the proposed
merging of the nine greatest trusts into
one mighty octopus with a capital of
five or six hundred million, with the
Standard Oil Company at the head. We
would welcome the consolidation because
it would help to arouse the people from
their lethargy and hasten the day when
the trusts will be stamped out Of exist
ence. The day is not far distant when
the American people will resume their
sovereignty and wipe the trusts from the
face of the earth.

A SAMPLE OF PARTY CONSISTENCY.

We recently published an extract from
an address by State Auditor Aver Justl-
fying the law that imprisons men for
non-payment Of taxes. 1t seems that he
and others of his ilk, who got into office
by declaring that all salaries ought to be
cut down in proportion to the reduction
in the price of staple crops, not only want
to send the taxpayers to Jail If they can
not pay their taxes by September, but
also want to increase their taxes in order
to pay themselves bigger salaries. He is
reported to have criticized the niggardly
policy he said was pursued by the State
IN paying the salaries of the public Of
ffcers. He instanced as evidence that the
State does not pay high enough salaries
the salary paid to the Governor-$3,O 600
q year-and said that "a railroad COM
pany pays it's State counsel $1,000 year
without any hesitation and perhaps
wouldn't employ man in that capacity
who would work for less" He cited also
the fact that railroad paid one attor-
ney to appear before the r. r. Commits
sion more than all the r. r. Commission
ers were paid by the State, and argued
that the State could not get the best tai
emit at the present low salaries, and adj
ded:
why cannot and why do not they
IL ~ 10
sense to make such regulations as
will enable the State to offer and pay
as much for intellect and brain in the
service of the State and people as cor
porations pay for intellect and brain
In their service"
Commenting on this declaration, the
Chatham Record perttinently replies:
"Now, did you ever? Why haven't
the people "the courage and sense"
to pay their officers higher salaries?
Who would have thought that such a
question could or would have been
publicly asked by the late official
head Of the Peoples party in this
State? Is it because he is himself
an ffice-holder-State Auditor?
"And in this connection we would
Ike to inquire what Iees ana salaries
have been reduced as promised by
the reform leaders? In the cam
paign Of 1894 every reform" candi-
date pledged himself most solemnly
to reduce all fees and salaries $50 as
to correspond with the low prices Of
farm products" And yet, although
they had large majority in the Leg
islature then elected no officers fees
or salaries were reduced one cent!
"Again in 1890 every reform can
didate repeated the same pledge and
proudly pointed to the plank in the
Populist State platform, which de-
manded "a reduction of salaries I'M
til such time as through an increase
Of the currency the price Of property
and produce will justify the present
'ates." And yet, although they had
again an overwhelming majority in
the Legislature, what fees or salaries
were reduced?
How long, Oh! how long will hon
est taxpayers allow themselves to be
deceived by the false promises of a
set Of pretended "reformers," whose
only object is their own personal
aggrandizementY'
