The Negro Question.

The Des Moines Leader in very
plausible and we'll worded editorial .un-
dertakes to defend its position that the
settlement of the negro question must
be left entirely to the people of the
South. 1t states that the people of the
South are very kind to the negroes ex-
cept where social or political rights are
involved. This may be true The
o binary man OF reputable instincts is
AS rule kind to his horse, so long as
the animal does his work without com
planning and follows implicitly the
masters orders. This is the sort of
kindness with which the white men of
the South treat the negro.
The Leader asserts that the courts of
justice are as fair to the negro as to the
whites. This also may be true, but if
the Leader will read it's own news
columns it will see that but few of the
criminal cases IN which a negro is in
volved ever reach the courts. The sus-
pect is simply hanged to the nearest
tree. 1t may be that the courts are all
right but their opportunities are some
what dwarfed by the lynching propensi-
ties of the white gentlemen.
The Leader speaks of the fact that
the whites pay large per cent of the
school taxes and that this money goes
toward the education OF the negro.
Some years ago young lady went from
Denison to the State of Texas as mis-
slorary teacher among the negroes.
Her object was not to stir up social or
political dissens;on, her object was to
teach the ignorant cOlored children the
elements of education and the truths of
the religion OF Christ. Surely these OBJ
jects were not sinful ones, nor ones
which would be harmful to any people
be they civilized or not. In all that
southern city, among all those southern
gentlemen and ladies, with their boasted
courtesy and hospitality, there was not
one who would speak to that brave
Christian girl. There was not a white
mans home in which she could obtain
board and lodging at any price. And
does the Leader mean to tell us that the
people of Iowa are like these people?
Can it find one spot in Iowa where such
a thing would be possible?
The political prosecutions of the
South are not confined to the blacks
alone. White republicans are as much
under the bann as are the blacks.
Freedom of speech, of thought and of
action are denied, and the Leader
knows it.
We have tried pacific measures with

the South. After the war we forgave
them and took them back into the Union
on ah equality with the loyal states.
This was done with the distinct under
standing and upon the solemn pledge of
the people of the South that they would
abide by the constitution of the United
States. Have they done this? Have
they not sought both by legislative en-
actment and by force and fraud to
violate the constitution? Have they
not thus violated every confidence re-
posed in them.
Is not the Leader urging us to tie
same course urged by many before the
war, that theSouth be left alone,to solve
the problem of human slavery? Did
the South solve the problem? The
North suffered the curse of slavery to
exist for ee-quarters OF a century,
and it finally took million lives and
almost countless treasure to solve the
problem.
There are in our northern cities
classes as ignorant, as depraved and in
finitely more vicious than the southern
negro can possibly be. In these cities
the better classes pay the majority of
the taxes. In some cases the vicious
element outnumbers the reputable, but
we never heard of case where fraud,
force or violence were used by respect
able northern citizens to prevent any
MIN from casting his ballot.
In brief the South has broken its
pledge of fealty to the constitution. IL
has stubbornly and insolently rejected
every effort of the North to assist in
solving the negro question 10y The only
pacific means available, that OF educs-
tion 1t proposes an aristocratic in
stead Of a popular form of government.
1t insists upon the old doctrine Of states
rights. 1t proposes to settle the race
question not by elevating the negro but
by reducing him to state of semi
slavery. These are The thugs which
the South has done and is doing. The
South may fear negro domination, but
we fear the domination of the aristO.
Gratis OF the South. They are not like
the people of the North and cannot be
until they throw off their ''absurd pre-
JUDGES" and learn something more of
the universal brotherhood Of mankind.

MRS. PlckETT CENsuKED.
She Hurled u Bottle of whiskey at TIL,

Mfrs. Pickett was standing ON THE
launching stand near the christ e,lin Z

of .wmskey. Near her stood Mrs. Brad
ley, a heading member of THE local w.
c. T. u. and several prominent tenn
perance workers. To friend Mrs.
Pickett was hear to remark that SHE
intcnue-i to e,hr1;sten the vessel with
WhtislSey. Those who heard her Thought
she was joking: but when the steel
hull began TO glide down the ways SHE
drew back her arm smd simultaneously
with Miss Bradley hurled the flask at
the snip. On one side of the PROV
water coNl-seu its way to THE ground
ON the other side whislley made "a path.
Mrs. Plckett's act was signal for
the ke!rtuckians who hurled fusllelde
OF bottles ait the ship.
Mrs. Bradley is said to Nave expressed
herself in no unmistakable terms at
Mrs Pickett's action. declaring it To
be un'd;gnified AMID unIbecaning to a
lady of Mrs. Pickett's social standing.
So wrought UP are the members of the
