$4,000 miles with him, although
l did not support him with my
vote. He is today the same sober,
deliberate, intense American he
was in those blistering days of
roaring multitudes and political
upheaval. There is not shadow
of turning or evasion in his con-
versation. Unlike Mr.. Mckinley,
he does not shift his ground to
suit the occasion. n
came to Lincoln to see Mr..
Bryan because Mr.. Croker said
that many of the Democratic
leaders in the eastern states be-
lieved it to be desirable that the
ratio should be omitted from the
financial plank of the national
platform next year. and that the
question of the relationship O,
silver to gold in our currency
should be left to congress. The
interview with Mr.. Croker was
the result of statement made to
me by him nearly year ago in
London. He said then that he
believed Mr.. Bryan to be the
greatest statesman in America, if
not in the world.
Mr.. Bryan looks older. In a
few months he will be 40 years
old. He is stouter and weighs
203 pounds. Since the last cam
paign he has bought a farm of 25
acres just outside of Lincoln, and
every two or three days the black
charger which bore him as a sol
der carries him to his scented
fields of clover, green corn, ripe
melons, fruit trees, potatoes and
tomatoes, over which broods. of
white and brown chickens go
clucking contentedly. The Dem
ocratic leader is good carpenter
and makes his own chicken
houses. l saw him today carry
an armful of nelson's from the
field to his buggy while his wife
and children strolled about the
scene of plenty and beauty.
l have taken the trouble to
investigate the story that Mr..
Bryan is the richest man in Lin
coin. 1t is preposterous. Mr..
Bryan's wealth does not exceed
100000, and half of that is in
real estate. His frst profits from
his book amounted to $4,000.
Of this he gave $4,000 to various
free silver clubs He also gave
$4,000 to found prizes for essays
on the science of government in
eighteen colleges. His house in
Lincoln cost him $4,000 lie could
not probably sell it for more than
$4,000. His farm near Lincoln
cost him about $4,000. He also
owns n farm Of SO acres u"ar his
birthplace, Salem, H., and II
small house which his mother
occupied in her last year. The
story that Mr. Bryan is rich
sprang from the fact that he is
one Of the few citizens Of Lincoln
who have honestly declared their
personal property for the pur-
pose of taxation.
At this moment Mr.. Bryan
stands at the very centre and

GENERAL BUTLER'S VIEWS.
Not Room for Two Races-FavOrs
Deportation.
Greenwood Index.

last night sent the Index the fol-
lowing letter received by him
from Gen. M. G. Butler. Gen.
Butler deals with matter that
is of great interest just at this
time, and his letter is intensely
interesting both on account of the
boldness of the position he takes
and the caustic manner in which
he refers to Senator Tillman land
others" for their utterances on
the same subject. His letter is as
follows:
Edgefield, S. O., Aug. %.
Dear Wyatt: The newspaper
accounts of the state Of affairs in
Greenwood county which 1 take
to be in the main correct, portray
condition of affairs truly de-
plorable. am no apologist for
lawlessness at the hands of any
class of people, and offer no ex.
cuse for it in Greenwood or any
other county, but in order to
check it We must find the causes
that produce lawlessness and ap
ply an effective remedy. Public
meetings and denunciations will
not cure the disease. You may
plaster over q sore on the human
body and conceal it for q time,
but if the disease is IN the blood
1t will break out somewhere else.
A good doctor will strike at the
root of the disease, and eradicate
it there, while he applies palla-
tives on the surface.
So it is with the race question

presented, as it is now, in my
opinion. Two races cannot live
together in peace on terms of
equal civil and political rights,
and the sooner we realize that
the better it will be for both races.
The gradual and permanent sep.

land, by the grAe of the "one-

reached the top, they now kick
down the ladder on which they
rose to wealth and power. Such
sudden conversion to the ways of
law and order make one tired.
l repeat, l have no excuse to
offer for "white Gaping" or any
other form of outlawry, but some
times justification, if not excuse,
may be dug up from the depths
of poverty and the hard lines to
which cheap negro labor have
plunged many worthy, poor white
men. And whenever you arraigu
the accused and denounced before
a white jury to be tried for their
violent and lawless effort to break
down and drive out the competi-
tion with cheap negro labor, you
will strike chord of sympathy
running thorugh the hearts of
every member of the panel, for
the accused are of their own race.
So We will continue to 20 through
with the farce and expense of
trying to convict white men for
making raids on negroes. Reverse

The government of the United
States ought to appropriate $780,.
100000 and duplicate as often as
may be necessary, to assist the
Negroes in settling a colony to
themselves, or, what would be
almost as effective, assist them in
moving to the north or north.
west. The government did this
for the Indians because they could
not live in peace with their white
neighbors. Why not adopt the
same policy for the colored race I?
The stupid, untenable law on our
statute books making it penal
offence for an emigrant agent to
induce Negroes to leave the state
ought to be repealed, and tho
state ought to pay bonus of so
much head for every Negro who
can be induced to 60. Cheap
labor is the curse of any country.
II may enrich few, but the great
body of the citizenship cannot
emerge from state of semi-peon,
age of starvation wages.
The landowners would be bet

Report comes from Galveston that the

one. and it is thought by some that they
use hypnotic influence in inducing their
victims TO shell out. Mrs. McAllister, the
Houston lady who left $500 with them,
says she was impelled by some strange
force or power to go TO the bank and get
the money. In relating the circumstances

that The women had represented 10 he.
