Hon. William IL. Kitchin, of North Car
olina. who was IN Congress some years
back was in Washington city day or so
back and to a reporter he made the fol-
lowing statement:
My opinion is that the Democrats win
have a walkoyer in North Carolina after
this"
But the party must hew 10 the line,
eschew all combinations and deals with
any other party. and stand fast by the
declarations Of the Chicago platform. If
IL does this 1t will recover its former as
cendancy. an ascendancy that would have
never been lost had IL not been for the
blighting influence Of alleged Democrats
of the Grover Cleveland and Matt. Ran
som order
NOW as between negro domination in
North Carolina and gold bug domination
I think the first is to be preferred. for
there Is a certainty OF shaking IL off soon
er or later, but the reign of the gold bug
is to be feared for 1t may continue in
definitely / would join with the devil
himself TO beat any party led by such a
man as Cleveland.
He 1t was who came near wrecking the
Democratic Party and the further the
greater hold will IL have on tho country.
"The great majority of the Popunsts in
our State cannot be led any longer by
their former leaders. The influence OF
Marion HUtleT has waned Crafty as he
IS. he Will never be able TO regain his
lost prestige. He may have deluded sew
eral estmable gentlemen into the belief
that no wanted Mr.. Bryan elected last
year. but there was one man he did not
deceive. and he was just as earnest in
behalf Of silver as he was for the Chicago
nominee"
Now here is a rank confessionl This
Pomlist declares that North Carolina
had better be under negro domination
;han under the rule OF the DEM
ocrats who refuse 10 debase the
money Of the nation; who will
not tolerate government ownership OF
railroads and Ielegraphs: who would use
all lawful means to suppress instruction
and TO protect life and property; who in
sst that a tariff should DO for revenue
ONLY: and who would allow TO all citi-
zens the utmost liberty in the use of their
property and individual capacities consist
ent with the peace OF the community.
And yet this Populst. representing
many with whom tho Chicago Democrats
made combination. declares that negro
rule Is preferable 20 such Democracy.
We do not believe he speaks for a ma
jority OF tho PopuIists in Virginia. lie
may know the North Carolina species of
that perverted generation OF politicians,

THE SHAW MEMORIAL.

Editor Of Tho Times:
Sir--I was much struck by your edito-
rial article Of some weeks ago on the sub
ject of the Shaw Memorial recently I'M
yelled I'm Boston and have heard num-
Der Of favorable comments. upon II by
critical men. You have exposed In TINS
article in a dignihed and proper man
ner the emptiness, nay, the hypocrisy or
the sentiment sought 10 be imposed upon
the world, by citing historical facts that
are beyond controversy. cannot add
anything 10 your article so ably written
and published in so timely a manner,
but drop this note 10 say that you might
have added tho fact that when the legi5-
lature OF the state Of Massachusetts
passed the act Of emancipation 1t was
therein provided that the act should so
into effect twenty 600 years from tho
date Of ats passage and that when mo
tine expired and the act went into effect
Massachusetts, liberated her slaves, sixty
GOJ in number.
Where were the others2 They had been
sold into the slave holding States. And
they can this emancipation!
have recently heard II stated upon ex-
cellent authority that the New England
States continued to kd-nap and sell
slaves into the Southern States up 20 the
outbreak OF the civil war. And the same
gentleman stated that the May Flower
was fitted out upon her return to Eng
land and used as a SLAYER
]. NJ.
Richmond. Va, July "a, 1897.
The historical evidence that tho May
Flower was engaged in the African slave
trade after bringing tho Pilgrims TO Ply
mouth Is very strong. If not absolutely
conclusive. But this fact IS no reflection
upon the sincerity Of the Pilgrims. They
did not own the vessel even IL they had
objected TO the slave trade, but all chris
tendon was then in the business and IT
was thought TO be a noble means Of bring
ing souls from heathenism and cannibal-
ism TO civilization and Christianity be-
sides making much money. Queen Ellz-
abeth was a partner in the business with
Sir John Hawkins tho ancestor Of some
of our best known citizens Of North Car
alma and Virginia OF to-day. The trouble
with the more modern New Highlander
In the slave trade business is that long
after It had been denounced as Infamous
and inhuman, he insisted on keeping it
I'D as long as possible and only when he
was compelled to stop it. did his virtue
arouse itself against those upon whom he
had helped to impose this great evil.
That IS the complaint OF jamestown
against Plymouth. OF the following OF
r. Z. Lee against those Of William Lloyd
Garrison.

A WORD OF wARNING TO OUR NEGRO
FRIENDS.

The negro problem with which tho peo-
pie Of the South are confronted IS the
n ost dreadful one that any people have
ever been called upon to deal with. We
have now been treating It conservatively
and with entire sincerity for more than
thirty years. and instead Of seeing our
way more clearly 10 bearable results. all
its forms are more perplexing now than
they were at the beginning. and its por-
tents are all Of the most threatening and
dangerous character. IT has corrupted
the ballot box all over the South and
turned II IN many places into the mere
jest and sport Of bad men, and now the
lust Of the more brutal OF the race is
rousing an alarm among the white poo-
pie for the safety Of their women and
girls that must produce terrible results
unless the apprehension can be allayed.
The assault by a negro brute last week
upon a white lady in the most populous
part OF the city Of Richmond, and in the
middle OF the day, has reused the people
OF Richmond as we have never seen them
moved. Men ask themselves with bated
breath. what IS TO be done?' They
ask n life IS endurable when their minds
must be always occupied with the
thoughts Of whether their wives and
daughters are safe IN their homes If
they chance to be away? Such a tension
as this cannot endure. Something must
happen 20 ease It or some important liga-
ment will part.
We believe that all OF our serious
troubles with the negro have come from
the unwise act OF the Republican party
in comforting upon him the right Of SUI
frage when he was utterly unprepared to
receive IT,
Had he been left 10 be dealt with by
the white people among whom ne lad
been reared. and who perfectly under
ltood the case in all its bearings, provi-
zion would have been made for admitting
Individual negroes 20 the suffrage as
they qualified themselves for its exercise.
and they would. in time have grown up.

pacity to exercise the right Of suffrage.
But. clothed an AZ once with q citizens

OF them have thought that their charac-
ter Of citizens called upon them to show
their equality with the white man by
predatory forays upon his dearest and

erase OF assaults upon wbits women by
them Is the result Of lust prompted and
stimulated by an exaggerated idea Of
the consequences which 4 citizens privi-
leges confer upon them If the fifteenth
