This comment is rather. long but
\ cannot dismiss it until I remind
you that / SEQ one quality in
your editorial OF tho 23rd that l ad-
1hirc: When you threaten dire and
ir mediate punishment to Hanna
AndgAicK Kinley for bossing the re-
Publican party and appointing Ba-
Iksrspsst master; you would make a
,MqEtny accomrlice Of Don Qui1otc
Eff thewind mill fight,
i Suppose you cease to rail at the
fwolf from the house top. Come
down, go to the pond at Lake Cit.
|fetyou three hundred electric eels,
|Ehente to th- National Capitol, call
upS Hanna and McKinly and hang
them dead by the neck for offending
the pride of South Carolina, then
shake Yourself like a scut.le fish in
the uave of republican compton,
let the eels catch tho vibration and
with their candal appehdagea, you
can there DO the result in shocking
the, republican party and the north
generally, into a realization of the
fact that the people OF the South
will never consent to the elevation
Of the Negro to poaitions of power
and authority over white men, etc.
This Furnishing Hanna and Mckinly
and shocking The republican party,
otherwise than on housetop and a
little nearer the scene Of action, il
"a drastic measure, dreadful re-
cour'e" but Is simply brave and
heroic nan putting into execution
himself, what he 10 easily advise,

fraught with mischief. They en-.

but to murder other white men.

thought Of it. I WAS co mpellcd to
say, the RECORDER is bound to lead
and that the editors are not only
telling the Negroes what to do. and
how to be an intelligent race, but
demonstrating what can be done
with energy, courage, stickability,
push and STAN ina.
The Negroes must stop so much
talking ard praising Negro brain
and Negro enterprises and begin to
show more of their ability for busin-
ess, and desire of progress by their
fiancial support. "Action not
words" I hope that tic Negroes
will show their knowledge of good
thing and the appreciation of the
RECORDER to such an extent. that
when the year rolls around and the
jealous editors shall have looked at
their account book and list Of SUBJ
scribers, they will be made to e1-
claim-Eureka q have found it) l
am an admlrer and supporter of Ne

more to enlighten and elevate our

booming and the structural mills are

Is firm. with prices stronger. Bars are
weak, but there Is considerable nego-
