Ex- GOVERNOR NoRTHEN, OF Georgia,
made an address In Boston, the other
day, before the Congregational Club.
on 1.-THE White Mans View OF the
Relations Of the Negro in the South. =
1t must have produced an effect upon
the Bostonese AIKEN to the eye opener
which Vance administered to them in
his address before Andrew Post OF the
G. A. R. in the sos. In the course OF
his address, Gov. Northen gave utter-
ance to these refreshing truths:
when the government appoints q
minister to Austria and the cablegram
comes-persona non grsta-the name is
recalled and another substituted at
once. Why Austria and not the Southf
Why dominate the South with an ap-
pointee who is persona non gaia when
Austria can get what she wantsf Why
dominate section whose people, as q
section, are more thoroughly American
than any other section of the continent !;
section more devoted to American
institutions than any other section as
such, because of its more American
citizenship; section that defends the
American flag with as loyal hearts, as
heroic, daring and as patriotic devotion
as ever characterized liberty loving
citizen of the nationf Let the North
answer me, whyf
Now, then, II the slave trade, the
promoter of slavery in America WAS q
sin. whose sin was it2 Not the sin Of
the South. but the sin Of England, the
Dutch and New England.
III the comforting of citizenship and
the ballot upon four millions Of people.
absolutely untaught in the simplest
elements of government, was mistake !,
whose mistake was iti Not the mistake
OF the South, but the mistake of the
North.
III the avenues to division and hate
and blood and carnage, outrages and
lynchings and violence and mobs have
been opened up at the South through
the ballot given to the negro and the
politics taught him to pursue in the
destruction of the white man were sin F,
whose sin was itf Not the sin Of the
South, but the sin of the North.
If the people of the South sheltered
the negro in his absolute poverty, fed
him when he was hungry, furnished
him means to accumulate property and
money, educate his children to prepare
them for usefulness in life, whose honor
| is 1t but the honor of the men who have
borne for generation his burdens
while he gave marked ingratitude in re-
turn through his votes?''

Geo. Barrow and Wife Was the Kid
nappers.

There is no doubt now, that George
Barrow. of Little Rock, is the Arthur
Wilson, who was the principal In kid
mapping little Marion Clarke, of New
York City. some three weeks since.
Barrow wife and nurse are now under
arrest. We copy from the Little Rock
Democrat the following pen picture of
the young scoundrel:
There appears to be no doubt as to the
identity of the chief conspirator, and
Judge John G. Barrow, of this city,
who has not received word direct from
him, is now convinced that the accused
is his son George. A New York special
gives the following pen picture which
will, In many features, be readily
recognized by the people Of Little
Rock:
Something more of George Barrow s.
or Mark Beauregard 8, career in this
city was obtained today. He does not
drink and never swore-but in his room
was found membership card of the
Black Rabbit Club, a degenerate organi.
zation that was recently broken up by
the police.
He is a clever, daring schemer, but
cannot bring himself to worry over the
details Of his plots. In his blind ego
tism he considers it beneath the dignity
of 'man of brains, as he loves to
call himself, to hide after the perpetra-
tion Of crime. He has quiet temper
and well-developed sense Of vengeance.
He does not carry revolver, but in a
quarrel will seize knife.
Barrow is we'll known to the Tamma-
ny politicians of the Seventh assembly
district, of which James w. Boyle is
leader. He never held political place,
but wrote to his father in Little Rock
that he held sslaried political office.
He is we'll versed in criminal law but
never practiced it. He first appeared
in politics in the Van Wyck msyoralty
campaign. At that time he lived at 307
West Twelfth street. Afterward he
lived on Jane street, and at Bethune
and Hudson streets.
He lost caste with his political friends
through a report that he was mixed up
in a badger game. He seemed to
be out of employment most Of the time.
He spent little and always had a bank
account. He still has an account with
the Metropolitan Savings Bank.
Although high enough to make good
living honestly, he seemed to prefer
methods that meant danger and profit
in humber walks of life. he was NOT
ashamed to be a car conductor. But
his methods were peculiar and led to
dismissal. he has been an automobile
driver, but bossted that in that humble
employment he earned s2s in four days.
He sang and shouted loudly at Sal
vstion Army meetings. He has deceiv-
ed his father and brought ruin upon
what might have been fine career. for
Barrow, or Beauregard, was well edu-
Gated, environed with rsfnement-born
gentleman, in other words. His
record in New York is an unssvory one
and the police are making a most thor,
ough search in the hope that they may
be able TO indict him for other crimes
than kidnapping.

II May Break the Camers Back.

WITH no signs Of rising prices for
grain and no possibility of any combins-
tion among producers of the cereals to
control the markets. farmers are to be
asked to pay about is per cent more for
plows than they have had to give in recent
years. The reason given is the increas-
ed cost to the managers Of plow manu-
factorys of the iron and steel which they
use. What do the iron and steel trust
managers think will be the effect upon
the votes of farmers of a stiff rise in the
price of plows and farm machinery and
implements, generally speakingf Will
it be conducive to the safety and profits
Of such corporationsi Will it not tend
to destroy them utterlyf-Cleveland

SECRETARY GAGE admits that there
will be a deficiency of 500. 900 900 in
the treasury at the close of the fiscal
year on the Both Of next month. The
Mckinley administration is throwing
away hundred millions in the folly OF
waging a war of conquest and subjuga
tion in the Philippines. The prosecution
of the war, it may be, is now reduced
to a necessity, but five months ago il
could have been prevented by wise
craftsmanship and adherence to Ameri-
can principles, and the shedding of q
drop of American blood In war with
the Filipinos averted. -Pittsburg Post

judge Rogers, Position.

A recent number Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, says: A notable de-
cision on strikes attended with personal
assaults is that rendered by Judge J D..
Il. Rogers In the Circuit Court of the
United States. in the Fort Smith division
Of the Western district of Arkansas
The strikers in this case went 80 far as
to pronounce an injunction by the
United States "a farce. They ignored
1t and defed 1t by continued and de
liberste deeds OF violence. They dis.
cover nov that the courts OF the United
States are not as much Of farce IS they
supposed. Judge Rogers has sentenced
the offenders to four months imprison-
ment In the federal Jail at Fort Smith
and to remain there until the costs are
paid. The prisoners are members of q
mining union st Denning. Ark. where
mining operations are carried on ny q
corporation organized In Missouri A
strike occurred. the new men employed
were assaulted by strikers detailed one
by one for the purpose. and the property
Of the company was threatened. The
United States court issued restraining
order to protect the property from
injury by irresponsible parties and also
to protect its employees from illegal
interference.
The Van Buren press., 1899-06-10

This decision covers the case with
striking force and directness and assert
the dignity Of the government with an
earnestness likely to discourage a
repetition of the remark that United
States court is farce. 1T will be a
very bad day for the country. - Judge
Rogers remarks, when it reaches that
point that any man or set of men can
with impunity defy regularly constitut-
ed authority . The decision recognizes
the right of the companies to work their
mines and that of the miners to work OF
cease to work. But it holds that there
must be no interference nor disregard
of the restraining orders Of the United
States. Each citizen has the right
under the constitution and the Supreme
Court decisions to go where he will and
to work at any lawful vocation. State
powers must be exercised in subordina-
tion to the Federal constitution. In this
Arkansas case the strikers who COM
mitted the deeds of violence went into
the state courts and pleaded guilty to
assaults upon the men who had taken
the places they vacated Their purpose
was to ignore the United States injunc.
tion and find refuge behind the laws of
the state, knowing that the state penalty
could be evaded. The judge points out
the absurdity of the idea that confession
in state court relieves culprit from a
violation of constitutional provisions
and from obedience to an order issued
by United States court.
Rights granted by the Federal consti.
tuition can not be impaired by any state
legislature or authority. In Arkansas
the state was appealed to by the dis.
orderly miners to back them up in their
violence and to enjoin those who want
ed to work, because their persistence in
laboring would compel the strikers te
attack them and raise riot.
lis it to be committed to the mime
Workers Union, asks Judge Rogers
Ito administer the law Of sovereign
state, and determine not only who are
citizens, not only who are peacable, moi
who have right to work, or when they
shall work2' To answer afirmatively
the decision continues is to defy the
constitution and laws Of the United
States and overturn the theory of the
government. The judge warns law
breakers against the mistake made II
this instance Of assuming that United
States courts are given to bluffing ant
that their orders amount to nothing
or can be thrown aside. regardless o.
constitutional provisions. in stat.
courts. The lesson impressed, and the
argument with which it is given deserve
attention throughout the country.

resolution: Whereas, We are COM

the Sabbath day to keep it holy, and,
whereas, one of the giant evils that we
have to fight is Sabbath desecration, our
young people buggy-riding and our
merchants going to the markets on the

declared itself opposed to all Sunday

BILL ARP says: IAN old friend told
me that the alienation between the
North and the South was owing more 70
diet and climate than it was to slavery
or negroes. Said he, they live on colo cI
bread and canned goods and cod fish,
and drink iced tea. while we live on
ham and eggs and hot rolls and eat
biscuit and hot coffee. Their diet is as
cold and shivering as their climate,
while ours is rich and warm and stimu-
lating as our sunshine. Hence, they
are inclined to be cold hearted and sell
fish. +" We feasted Mckinley down here
on Southern food and warmed him TO

MERRITT has seen fit to declare that
Alger is 1.-The greatest secretary OF war
the world has ever seen. Yet thirty
FIVE years ago he recommended the dis
honorable discharge of Alger from the
army for absence without leave. Gen
eral Custer's recommendation that
Colonel Alger be summarily dismissed
without trial was signed by General
Merritt. And now he is not only loud
in his praises of the great man, but,
indirectly, at least, he is stabbing in
the back his immediate superior. From
such conduct common, everyday people
