THE RACIAL TROUBLES OF THE
s0TTH


1t is worthy Of the most serious con
sideration Of though tful people that
al the racial troubles OF the southern
states occur under Republican nation
i Administrations 1t is noteworthy
fact also that under the only two
Democratic administrations since the
social conditions of the south were
changed there was \ sotal absence in
thatsection Of the country OF these dis.
turbances.
There is a reason, a cause, some
where for this, and the thinking
broad-minded, patriotic men OF the
country do not have TO throw search
light over the tubject TO find an an
swer. 1t is better for all concerned to
speak the honest truth shrived aud
stript of all cant and sentimentalism
and deal with the question openly
honestly and without subterfuge
The south never WILL any more
than the north will, submit to negrc
domination. The rensible, honest,
educated negro knows this 1t is
equally absurd to undertake to bring
the two races into the same socis'
scale, and this, too, is recognized by
the wiser and more thoughtful men oi
the negro race in this country. The
whites OF The northern states will pot
accept such conditions for themselves
aud what they refuse for themselves
will never be imposed upon others
When politicians learn to respect pub
lie sentiment on this subject In the
south these racial disturbances will
disappear. What these politician:
would not dare to do among their con-
stitaencies OF the north they have nc
right to force upon the people in an
OF er section Of the country.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
MRS. T. NJ. VANCE.

Just before the war of the Revolution a
colonial captain, one Jonathan Carver,
being DESTROYS to know more of the in
terror Of the continent, travelled as far
west as the headwaters of the Mississippi.
While on this tour he heard, from the In
dams with whom he conversed, some
mention of other Indians to the west,
who told tales of a range OF mountains
called Stony mountains, and of great
river rising in them and flowing west
ward to the sea, which they called Ore
gon.
After the war of the Revolution Great
Britain resumed her voyages OF discov-
cry. The surveys were elaborate and
scientific, but Captain Vancouver passed
the mouth of the legendary river and de-
clared there was no river there--only a
small bay.
Fortunately, a sharper eye than his
had scanned the opening not long be-
fore. Captain Robert Gray, sailing a
vessel in the employ Of a firm of Boston
traders, in taking a look at the inlet and
noting the color OF the water, did think
there was a river there, and so told the
English captain when the vessel was
spoken. Finding that his impressions
were treated with skepticism, the Yankee
captain turned back to take another look.
This second observation was conclusive.
He sailed on the 18th OF May, 1892.
From the log book OF the Columbia,
Captain Gray's ship, we take the follow
ing extracts:
"At 4 o'clock on the morning of the
18th, beheld our desired port, When We
were over the bar we found q large river
with fresh water, up which we steered
The entrance between the bars bore west
