laid E2fOre its leaderS SONIC TeucC-
Eions upon the giving Of universal suf-
zrage to negroes at home or in the
recently conquered provinces. We
copied from The Chicago Interior, an
able Presbyterian organ Of the great
west We propose to supplement this
with additional extracts from The In
terror. They will edify and interest,
we believe. The utterance previously
quoted by The Messenger from the edi-
torial in The Interior that this govern
ment of ours lis white mans govern
ment" gave offence to Troy, N. Y.
fanatic who is no thoroughly negroized
he is fit to come to North Carolina and
run on the black radical ticket. He
has found out that no longer is ours
o. white mans government, but
mongrel affair in which the Niger and
the Mongolian and the Indians are all
participants and citizens. He tells The
Interior that it's views are filled with
~'hellish miasma." He signs himself
J. Boldly. He is a good specimen Of
political crank made more ridiculous
by false education.
The Interior replies in good nature,
for it's evidently pities the fool. We
copy more of it:
ct is dangerous to indulge in irony
In presence of large audience-to re-
mind those who are so solicitous about
the rights of the Ncgritoes in the Phil
lippines that they are sending charity
abroad that is needed at home. Some
5000 900 of American citizens in this
country are disfranchised. Here In
the city of Chicago a man with a dark
skin is not allowed to earn his living
at any skilled employment. We have
a CoIored friend who Is an electrician,
thoroughly competent to do electrical
work of any kind. He is not permitted
to pursue his calling. He may black
shoes, curry horses, do scullion work,
but he cannot enter white man
trade His children cannot go to the
public school He cannot be mem
ber of a white mans church.
1t looks as if the "miasma" had got
"A strong hold upon the north. How is
it at Troy? Do the negroes enjoy any
privilege with the white men? Do
they merchandise together, attend the
same churches, intermarry freely, sleep
together in hotels, entertain each 9TH
Sr in their fine houses, and enjoy So
cia, equality with relish? 1t is surely
Interesting. Hip, hip! hurrah! There
lis all of this where Boldly holds forth,
for they have no "hellish miasma" in
his "diggngs." Boldly would not allow
it. Has he negro clerks if he is in
trade? Does he have a negro preacher
at his church? Is Boldly a blower
simply and a humbug ?
Southern men who have sense all
showing in the Dragging, sensational,
hysterical north Look at the war in
New York city between the races.
Turn your eyes to the recent conflict
between whites and blacks in Illinois,
and behold the dead. There must be
N.hellish miasma" up there and so
thick it cannot be cut with an axe"
according to The Interior.
While the north shuts out the kink
ky-heads and turns up its superior
nose at the ill-fated scents, the south
has for more than thirty years, in it's
poverty, and when struggling for
BREAD, given a part Of its earnings to
the education of the negroes and to
take care of their poor, their sick,
their insane, their deaf and dumb. For
it all it has not received one particle
4of thanks and gratitude, for the latter
belongs to no genuine African. North
Carolina ha2 expended not less than
$6,OOO,O0O on the education of negro
children since the negro men began

them and fed their families to great
extent
But the trouble with fools and ia
uatics Of both colors, in all sections,
as that they wish to put the niger on
xop of the rail fence and make him
master and lord. But that will not
come until one niger can Outright
two white men. The North Carolina
presbyterian in it's last issue says of
white supremacy here and elsewhere,
and says it we'll:
<'And this leads to the second point
Nowhere in the world today, in Caro-
lima or Massachusetts, in India or
China or Africa or the Philippines will
The Anglo-Saxon submit to the rule of
another race, be that race white or
yellow or brown or red or black.
Whatever the future may reveal, just
at this hour in the worlds history the
Anglo-Saxon is supreme. One roar
from the British lion, and the vibra-
xions shattered the European coalition
