Here we have the facts SO arranged

plain, People who do not align Them
selves on the side Of law must be re-
garded as being against it. This is
true Ia government as in church.
While 95 per cent Of the colored race,
as stated by MR. lnman, are law-abid.
ing, or, perhaps, neutral" would be a
better word; their force and influence
are not felt in the prosecution of it,. A
white woman is outraged; the Negro
81 per cent makes no appearance in the
work Of prosecution; it fails to deliver
up the criminal, and hence itfails to
divorces itself from his crime When
Hose ran from the Crawford mansion
he was for ten days in the hands Of
members Qf his race. while the whites
were pursuing him, the blacks were
furnishing him with food, aiding his
passage through obscure ways and
keeping his whereabouts secret. Here
in lies the weakness of the colored race
and herein lies the reason why their
cries againet certain visitations 20 un-
needed and viii continue to 60 unheed-
ed until they rise up to the dignity of
placing their criminals under the ban
and delivering them up to justice.
In this emergency the appeal must be
made directly to the colored IS per
cent!
What does it propose to do?
No one can answer THIS question so
effectually as thepeople concerned, and
if they will study the record Of the
white race they will find the lesson
which they should take to heart II they
would better their condition.
A WORD TO The CoLoRED IS
PER CENT.
The colored 95 per cent, docile, averse
to crime il left to its own impulse, has
been swerved off from the arena of
personal, political and domestic ag-
gression. Take the the aged colored
man who grew up under better condi
ions, and he is found to be respectful
Of himself 40 he is Of others. Such .
nan never gets into trouble. Take his
self-asserting and insolent grandson.
and what q change!
Suppose that in q white settlement
such crime had happened with 9
white man the perpetrator? With one
mind he would have beel delivered to
justice. His white blood would entitle
him to neither pity nor relief. As We
write, such case il 1t hand. In the
adjoining county Of Fayette, man
standing high in church and propert y,
with large family connections, was &C
cused ofcrime. Instead Of being spirit
ed away and hidden ont, he was
promptly arrested, confined in jail and
must undergo vigorous trial. That
is the white method. That is what the
Negroes, al the way from Palmetto to
Msrshallyil.e, shoald have done; but
unless they arouse themselves from
the false feelings OF comradeship for
criminals, they must continue TO bear
the blame.
There are today in the city ofAtlant 4
sesrss Of blssk criminals, refugees
from other places, whose crimes and
identity Are known 70 their fsllows.

COMMON SENSE ]. VEN
This is what one ofths ablest Jour
mails ofthe Sonthssays: 5I 81
From the Atlanta Censtitution.S
The sad tragedy which began II the
home Of Mr.. Crawford, which has left
behind II ! murdered citizen and !
wife for whom there remains on earth
NO CLEAN Of sunshine and which ended
by the n ewman dem nstrat ton sunday,
is now matter Of history.
It will be discussed for : season, for.
gotten in the rush OF new events.
to be renewed with different characters
and different sittings at another time.
Hence, IL becomes necessary to reason
together over this situstion-to look
deeply into causes, to gauge the pres
ent and TO improve the future, aided BY
the experience Of the past. There
must be found some solution Of ever.re.
curing events. The security and pros.
pefity Of tho white race demand II, the
existence Of Of the black race require
It!
The SITUATION As DEVELOPED By
THE HOSE TREGEDY
The condition Of life in q country
where two races live in common is al.
ways one full Of peril. It has been
truly written by an English historian
that mo inferior race can stand up be-
fore the Anglo.Saxon and, live. !" OF
course, the writer ment that no race
could occupy the same territory on
perfectly even terms. The right OF the
superior race to rule the ignorence
within it, is something which may be
argued against, but which can never
be removed The citadel Of that race
is lin it's women, and the integrity OF
these women, who are the mothers OF
the race, is the prize for which their
fathers and brothers will lay down
their lives, and for the violation OF
which they will exact life! To talk
about this, one way or the other, is
idle-the fact is imprinted in the heart.
and is as immutable as the laws of the
Midas ord Dars;ope
The nearest approach to cooperation
OF races in the same territory which
mas ever been made is that now exist
ing in the Southern states Of our Union.
The white man carried with him into
the fields Of the South traditions which
have decended to him through the
whole history Of his race-masterfal.
governing, invincible. The colored
race, the most docile of their inferior
races, content to dwell in the tents of
his white nei9 hbors, because measur-
ably Christianized, happily adapted
himself to the situation. The proper
ton of criminals was really small.
Mr.. Inman declares: Il believe 95
per cent Of the white men and Negro
men OF the South are as respectful to.
ward women as any people on earth.
but the other per cent Of white and
Negro scoundrels, tramps and brutes
are responsible for the trouble. How
to reach these is the problem

he desires to accept the position once

says the Filipino congress and cabinet

Many of the congressman have resigned
and he believed the Filipino soldiers
will lay down their arms everywhere

London, Nov. 24-Before anxiety as
to the situation in Natal has been re-
lieved there comes news of great bat
tie at Belmont. This has happened
sooner than was expected. Only the
official account is yet to hand, but SO
far as can be gathered the fighting APP
pears to have been almost repetition
Of the battle Of Elandslaagte. A dis
patch of the previous day estimated
that the Beers in that vicinity num-
bered 1000, and that they had five
guns, and, judging from the absence of
any statement to the contrary in the
official report, 1t is believed that the
British were slightly superior in num-
bers to the enemy. The Beers had
chosen position with their customary
skill and were strongly entrenched.
The British were obliged to carry
three ridges in succession. Apparently
the guards bore the brunt in carrying
the last ridge by bayonet charge,
after its defenders had been shaken

ut War with the Dutch Republics In
South Africa-Importance Of
the Notification.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE Deutsche lei
tung publishes letter purporting to
come from Gen. Joubert and dated at
Ladysmith, October 25, in which he SAYS:
Even II we do not succeed in preventing the
c9ncentration OF Gen. Buffers troops the
British army will be weakened from natural
causes to such on extent that not more than g. :
OOO effective troops or 1900 at the outside can
take the field. The others must be employed
to protect communications II Is to be borne
in mind that not only Natal but Cape Colony,
with base of operations covering 49, miles
must be considered. Our bases Of supply are at
home and organized on the relay system In three
directions. To protect these does not require
bOO men. II one base should be seriously threat
ened, the supplies will be destroyed. A war OF
defense, of which we need not think for con.
siderable time. would present far greater ad-
vantages than an offensive war We are at
home In the highlands OF the Trans vaal and the
Orange Free State. The British will have to
contest every step under inconceivable difficult
ties, and must be prepared at every moment to
fight on two or three fronts. Then will begin
guerrilla war, which the British will not be able
to endure, Already we have ", 900 men In the
field, so we do not need to calculate upon
rising Of the Beers In Cape Colony and Natal
Nevertheless II the British stir up the natives
and employ them to fight us, rising Of the

A BRITISH NOTIFICATION.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-The Rus
sian newspapers announce that the
British charge d'affaires has informed
the Russian government that Great
Britain has been in state of war with
the Dutch republics In South Africa
since October II. The Svet, comment
ing upon this, says: The Novoe Vre-
mya, which attributes far-reaching i'm.
portance to the British notification,
says: THE powers are now in posi-
tion to send, not only Red Cross agents,
but military agents as we'll, and they
may judge this fitting time to inter
vene, especially as the Afrikanders are
going more and more to the Boer side. "
