kind. There is not the remotest
probability of war with Spain
growing out of the Maine disaster.

The mob that murdered the col

committed double crime-a crime
against the law of Gcd, and the
country, and a crime against the
people of the South who must bear
the odium of the horrid deed.
Granted that Colored postmssters
should not be appointed in commu-
mites where race prejudice is as
strong as in South Carolina or Geor-
gia; even then there is nothing to
palliate the action of the mob for
their savage ferocity made no dis
tinction between the freedman who
dared to accept an Office and his in
nocent babe. Not only on account
of the act itself which rivals in bar
barous cruelty the worst deeds of
the savage, but for the added reason
that d whole section is held respon-
sible, should this bloody deed be
slgnally avenged by the law which
it outraged.

For UNCLE Sam to assume a war
like attitude towards Spain because
our Battleship was lost in her waters,
would be about as dispicable an ex-
hibition of bravado as that of the
French Government last year i'm
sending the Mediterranean fleet to
lombard the cities of San Domingo or,
the German Kaiser Illuminating his
ultimatum against the little repub-
he OF Haiti. Not that Spain is
weak, but because we cannot afford
to ''pick quarrel in order to rob
her of her possessions.
