GOOD FOR WILMINGTOND
Times

concord INES
Where's a man with a soul as big
as his foot that does not glory in the
pluck OF Wilmington's people? II is
not negro blood they want but peace
and progress. These they are deter
mined 10 have if it costs blood TO get
them. Since they are not fired on
they simply wait on the characters
that stood in the way Of peace and
order and give them the alternative of
leaving the city or reap the punishment
they SO richly merit.
1t is revolution Of course but it is as
the surgeons knife that shall the more
quickly effect a cure. The citizens
banished are not only negroes but
white men as we'll who have been dis
turbers of the peace. The work is now
done. Mayor Waddell has issued a
proclamation asking all persons except
the authorized police force to lay down
their arms and trust 10 the government
TO protect life and property. A con
plete revolution now prevails and the
obnoxious characters leaving their
homes in tears are drinking the bitter
dregs from the cups of wrath that they
filled to overlooking.
We may say again who can refrain
from admiration for the Wilmington
people? Some half dozen negroes were
put in Jail. A mob was about 10 take
them out and lynch them. Mayor
Waddell exercised the powers Of the
new government in their protection
and they were simply taken out of Jail
and sent off out of the state. Like the
mills of the gods, Wilmington's wrath
was slow but it is grinding fine.
North Carolinians in their determine
ton to have the whites rule are receiv-
ing the support n commentator of
many leading men. Governor JOS
eph f. Johnson, of Alabama. writes to
the New York Herald:
Every attempt to subject the people
of any state or locality in the south
to the domination of the negro will
end in revolution, either peaceful or
bloody. 1t is best for both races that
the white people should control. Any
interference by the Federal govern
ment in the internal affairs of the
states a only excite resentment and
increase discOrd.
THE people of North Carolina and
South Carolina are as capable of at
tending to their w affairs as the
people of any other state. 1t would
seem to be quite as proper to consid-
er whether the Federal government
should not interfere in Illinois. The
expectation Of Federal Interference has
brought enough disaster to the color
ed people, and it seems to me that it
is abOu time for it to be understood
that all the virtue, intelligence and
patriotism of the nation are not con
fined to any section"

stars and stripes, wish we were young
again.
We take particular pride in belonging to
the English speaking race, the only peo-
pie who have ever possessed liberty. In
12l5, nearly seven hundred years ago, our
ancestors obtained habeas corpus and
trial by jury, which great ordinances were
published by the church with solemn cere-
monies and cauticles of joy.
Whittier, the sweetest poet America
had, in speaking of Magma Charta" and
the struggles to perpetuate it. says of old

Seven times the bells have tolled
Seven times the bells have tclled
For the centuries gray and old,
Since that stold and mitred band
Cursed the tyrants of their land
Today we rejoice when the long roll is

all Americans, and our prayer goes up
- a generation ago.
God bless the United States.
