Senator Trlmau Of South Carolina, has
been talking to the New England people
about the negro question, and the Boston
Transcript says that Boston's silver
tongued aboltionist Garrison would
hardly subscribe TO the equivocal state
ment made BIZ Mr. Tillman that the
whites are in the ascendency and will re-
main so whatever comes"
Quite true. for B0stons silver-tongued
aboliionist was a dreamer Of dreams,
visionary man and fanatic. lie dealt in
theories and not in facts. There are many
others ike him in Boston to-day who in
slst that the whites of the South shall not
remain in the ascendency. But all such
talk does not alter the fact. The white
man discovered this country. the white
man fought for fits independence the white
man made It what it is and the white man
is going to rule st. peacefully if he can. by
force if he must.
The people Of Boston pride themselves
on their learning They are students OF
present and past events and they can tell
Won about the history of every nation,
tribe and race from the beginning. They
cannot point TO a single instance where
he black man has ever ruled the white
man. except the ancient Egyptians be
classed with the negro race. But they
can point to numerous instances where
the white man has ruled the black man,
and Fl has invariably been the case when
the white man went into the black mans
country he occupied the land and either
drove the black man out or ruled him.
Why should an intelligent newspaper
Ike the Boston Transcript hold to the
IDEA that conditions may be different in
the South? The white man and the black
man cannot live together upon terms Of
Equality and Whenever 1t is attempted 10
enforce this thing there Is going TO be
trouble and the black man is going to get
hurt.
we shall not discuss the ethics OF the
question. although We do not shrink from
such a controversy But facts are facts
ana thtic u HD az 2 "iiio against 'i''"'
We do not often find ourselves In limo
with senator Tillman in his views on pub
lie questions. but Senator Tllman ex-
presses the view Of every discerning white
man in the South and states the exact
fact when he says that the whites are in
the ascendcncy and viii remain so what
ever comes.
The sooner the people of New England
and the sooner the black men Of this
country recognize that fact the better IT
,ynl be for the negro race.
