The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1898-11-25

There are about 10000 negro voters
in North Carolina who do not a a
poll tax or any other tax. They live
in the state, enjoy the rights and priv
ileges under the laws, are employed by
white voters-mOst of whom are demo-
Grassland invariably vote against the
personal interests, the business inter-
ests of their employers, and yet they
do not contribute one cent, one farth-
ing to the support Of the government
municipal or county or ~state-under
which they live and toll and vote. Is
it right, is it moral, is it wise, is it just,
is it commemorate that 10000 negroes
should vote to tax the white burden
bearers who have no public
themselves? Is that a good govern
ment, worthy to support and praise
hat allows such a gross outrage, such
an oppression? No man of sense and
honor can say it is right and should
be allowed. In this state 10000 black
electors are the lawmakers and gov
ernors hitherto under the combine
who never give a penny of their labor
to carry on the government in North
Carolina under which they live AND
move and have their being" And yet
northern ~fanaticism and political rant
ers declare that this anomaly and out
rage is all right, and men who seek
to rid themselves of the tyranny and
insolent abuse of office are assassins,
~murderers, and avages Out upon the
fools and ISLANDERS.
Let Chicago n Louisville or New
York or Boston have the experience
of Wilmington and they will make it
a pandamonium for the negroes. Let
Illinois OF New York or Massachusetts,
have an ignorant, besotted population
all united and all paying but 8 Is per
cent. of the total taxes of the state,
and yet controlling elections and legis-
lation and government, and affecting

offices that caused all the rumpus and

offices that caused all the rumpus and
assassination. That has not a vestage
of truth in IL. The Commercial is
simply too ignorant and too biased to
comprehend events and facts. All
seems jaundiced to the jaundiced eye"
The Chicago Record had an editorial
on the Wilmington race riots" and IL
was a commingling Of just absurd
sentiments. The following was proper:
"One must sympathize with the de-
sire of the white citizens Of North Car
DINA not to be ruled by the ignorant
and the propertyless element of the
state. The intelligent and the powerful
ought TO and will rule in every COM
munity, and nothing can stand in the
way Of their exercising dominant au-
thority. Nor is it desirable that any
thing should. So far, therefore. as the
revolt of the white citizens Of North
Carolina against Negro rule is a re-
volt against ignorant rule, the white
men are deserving OF sympathy"
But it believes in negro suffrage. It
mink that Booker Washington is bet
ter qualified to vote than the murder
Gus whites Of our city engaged lin the
brutal and lawless mob" 1t is a mis-
ak to say it was a mob, n it is I'M
fair to classify the best people in this
city as it does, for they are more hu-
name and just, and surely as intelligent
as any average class in Chicago. It
writes ignorantly and with prejudice
when it INDUCES in the false strain II
does. Booker Washington is a good
citizen, a wise teacher, a man of abil-
;-- IL &c u-aH nt4o1ifaI IN x-ara and
with judgment and discrimination I'M
less he votes for republican candidates
with republican principles. The entire
screed Of the Record is Of the regula-
ton type-Offensive blind, stupid.
false. A Christian gentleman Of such
high and noble kind that he could
stand beside any citizen of Chicago
and be not afrai of comparison, said
to US on Monday: Never before vas
so important, SO great a work Of res
toration accomplished with so little
violence in so short a time." That is
true. We repeat what We aid recently
here that the ~forbearance and cOnser-
vative spirit of the White Men here
under the prolonged evaporation and
wrongs infiicted-the chaos, the Vio-
lence, the insults, the provocations re-
peated a hundred times in a hundred
days, were simply sublime. No people
but those trained through generations
in a love of order and obedience to
law, but at last driven desperate by
cumulated expressions, could ever
have borne themselves so coolly, so re-
solvedly, yet so calmly and mercifully
as did the white people of this city.
While a few bad, turbulent, threaten
ing negroes were punished, a thousand
acts Of kindness and mercy towards
the blacks marked every step of the
Revolution. Northern men should
either get the facts and understand the
whole movement or stop writing about
the matter.

ever would far rather keep the negroes
in the south, and supply them with
arms to Kill the whites, and give them
complete control. They would have
not the least compunction Of conscience
for the wiping out Of some Is, 000, 900 Of
whites while sowing the south with
salt and turning it over to barbaric
rule. But ii may be that the negroes
will remain in the south and quitting
politics seek TO help the whites to build
up this great land, n living in har-
mony illustrate the virtues and bless
ings of peace. That is so much better
than political chickering's and discord.
Let the north keep its hands off, and
let the liars abandon their evil trade.

Butler. Skinner. Thompson. Russell,
and the entire gang have not gone up
salt river, No. They are sympathlzlng
with Cervera. It's fearful 10 be bot
tied up.-Greenville Weekly.
One of the most gratifying results
of the recent election is the defeat of
Harry Skinner for congress in the
First district. His past record shows
him to be a man of no fixed political
principles.-Rich Square Cleaner.
Among the distinguished democrats
to whom much credit is due for u
great victory, is Captain S. A. Ashe, of
Raleigh, whose name has rarely been
mentioned in the papers, but who was
Chairman Simmons most efficient as
sistant and adviser.-Chatham Record.
The labOrs performed by Captain
AShe were labOrOuS, yet no man per-
formed his duty more faithful or more
effectualy. Much of the campaign mat
was prepared by him, and his mental
work was an inspiration to thousands
of readers in this state. Capt. AShe de-
serves we'll of the party when it comes
into power, and we hope he will be re
membered. A polished gentleman, pos
sessing an exceptionally well-informed
mind, he is an able and strong writer
and is entitled to good reward for his
long and faithful service and devotion
to Observation-Disclosures Sun.
We want to impress upon our color
ed friends the fact that they will re-
ceive fair n just treatment at the
hands Of the democratic party in the
future as they have in the past in
North Carolina. Go to work. educate
your children, teach them to be polite,
and good, l~aw-abiding citizens, help
elevate our race, and aid in building
up your country and state and all will
be well. Cut loose from demogogues
and p~ie-hunters and look out for your
best interests, determining to do all
you can in future tO elevate your race
instead Of trying to pull it down. One
thing We want to say: We believe
that the political preacher is your
worst enemy. as he is always hand and
glove with the demogogues, pockets
the money for keping you in line for
corrupt men, while you reap the abuse
for putting bad, u~nscruplous men in
Ofice.-OXford Ledger.
III HIS SpeCu dL the 1dTh
Senator Tillman said that when the
democratic party returned to power in
the state, it could remain in power as
long as it remained the party of the
people and was not controlled by party
bosses who put personal schemes
above the public good. The last cleo
ton placed the party in control of the
state. If the coming Legislature acts
wisely, the democrats will control the
state for a generation. But where a
party controls there must be a legiti-
mate provision for free expression OF
the will Of the voters who compose the
party, there must be some means by
which the individual voters may con-
troll the party policies and nominees.
The most effective method for the ex-
preston of this popular will within in
the party is the primary; and the pri-
mary is recognized as a part Of the
party machinery in this state. But the
primaries and conventions are in some
instances conducted in a very lax and
careless manner, and offer an EASY
temptation for manipulation BY poll
ticians.-Charlotte News.
