races could live together tremendously
under such conditions. Every now and
then there were inevitable clashes, and
whenever there was a clash the black
man suffered The negro has never
shown by his vote that he Is in favor of
good government. He has never shown
by his vote that as a citizen he Is desir-
Gus of political condition that will best
promote the moral and material welfare
Of the people. Booker Washington tells
the literal truth when he says that II
seems TO be a part OF their nature to on
pose the Southern white men with their
vote. and their votes have been used
for no other purpose.
Is it strange under these circumstances
that the whites should have determined
to disfranchise the black man? The time
is coming when every Southern State
will have taken from the great mass OF
negro voters the right TO vote and there
after the ballot will be given to those
who show themselves capable Of intelli-
gently exercising the right OF suffrage.

SOCIALISM AND TRUSTS.

The New York Journal is now engaged
in an argument to prove that ii is quite
as easy for the government as for cor
porations 10 secure honest faithful and
efficient service in the conduct Of any
enterprise. The Journals scent for
popular fad is almost infallible and our
contemporary is evidently of opinion that
the Pingree-Jo Jones movement out West Is
popular and is destined to play no unim-
portant part In the next Presidential
campaign. The Socialist party of this
country has undoubtedly been gaining
strength during the past several years,
and the Socialists will now use the anti
trust sentiment and the antitrust argu-
ment TO good effect in pushing their pet
theory of government control 10 the front.
II is we'll known that Mayor sam Jones,
OF Toledo. was elected on platform fay
orlng municipal ownership and control
OF public utilities. and Mr.. Jones believes
that If municipal ownership Of gas works.
electric light plants. street car lines and
the like is a good thing, government
and all other such enterprises. now con-
trolled by lusts. will be equally as good
II not better. In recent deliyerance
on this subject. he said:
I'VE are learning that the trusts are
useful, and as we shall come through the
hard school OF experience TO see their use
fulness. and TO see our own heplessness
while We remain outside of them. we shall
learn how to use them Already We are
learning the futility Of legisating against
them. The last report OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission practically con-
fesses the interstate commerce law a fail
ure, and nearly all of our attempts TO re-
strain and hinder the trusts I'm the vari-
Gus states have proven these laws fail
ures OF the same kind. We are coming
TO see that there is but one way to deal
with the trusts, and that Is to own them
as we now own the Postofce Trust, and
deny private individuals the right to carry
letters as a business. So we must come
to own the telegraph, the express. and
railroad trusts"
That is undoubtedly the drift of anti
trust sentiment. IL is more than proba-
BILE that in the next Presidential election
the slogan Of both parties will be down
with the trusts" thus affording to the
Socialists a most excellent opportunity
to convince many voters that the surest
and the best, if not the only, way OF
dealing with the trusts is for the gov
eminent to buy them up and operate
them. The Pingree-Jones movement will
hear watching

BOOKER WAsuINGTON's ADVICE

In reply 30 a question from colored
man in North Carolina as TO what should
he done to allay the present conflict be-
tween the races Booker Washington
suggests that the black man try the ex-
pertinent OF voting with the white men
Of the South instead Of opposing them
IN an national and local elections I'VE
seem 70 have gotten the idea into our
blood and bones" said he. that we are
only acting in manly way when we
oppose Southern white men with our
votes"
Politics has been the curse Of the negro.
AS soon a. the ballot was put into his
hands after the war, he resolved that he
would on all occasions cast his vote
against the white mans candidate and IL
was he who drew the color line in poll
ties From that time until now the
negroes have been Banded together in the
Southern States and without giving them
selves any concern about the issues in

The letter which Mr.. William J. Bryan
has Just written to Mr.. Perry Belmont
like the first OF the series is designed
To show. and does show the inconsistency
OF those Democrats who do not believe
in the Chicago platform. but who insist
upon afiliatng with the Chicago organi-
zation and helping to enact into law the
doctrines Of Mr. Bryan and his followers.
Air Bryans letter is not addressed 10
Mr. Perry Belmont alone, but is written
for the benefit OF all who are Of Mr. Bel
monts way Of thinking. Mr.. Bryan de-
signs to show and does show. that no
man can consistently support him and
the Chicago platform unless he honestly
believes in the free coinage Of silver at
the ratio Of &c 20 I. unless he believes In
the graduated income tax, unless he be-
leves in the multiplication plank and
All other similar planks of the Chicago
platform Mr.. Bryan believes that all
men like Mr. Belmont who insist upon
the gold standard and yet affiliate with
the Chicago Democracy are dangerous
and traitors in the camp, and he does
not want them. lie does not believe that
there is any middle ground upon which
the Belmont people and the Bryan peo-
pie can stand and he wants no compro-
mise. lie wants the afiiiiation and the
supurrt OF those who believe in the Chi
cago platform, whatever their previous
party utilization, and those only. The
party regularity men can find little COM
fort in this correspondence between Mr..
Bryan and Mr. Belmont.
For our part We agree with Mr. Bryan
to the extent that those who believe as
Mr.. Bryan believes-that 10 put into law
the doctrines of the Chicago platform
would be to bring disaster upon the coun-
try-should refuse absolutely TO vote for a
candidate who stands upon that plat
form In short Mr. Bryan says. in effect
that when man get 10 the point that
he does not believe in the principles Of
his party. that it is time for that man
to bolt Mr. b. said before the Chi
cag0 convention held that II that
body should adopt q gold standard he
would bolt because he could not con-
scienuously support such a platform.
Therefore he has never had any respect
or federation for those who disbelieved
in free silver yet continued to affiliate
with the Chicago Democracy lie tells
Mr. Belmont in so many words that he
and those who think as he thinks have
no place in the party Of which Mr. Bryan
is head and front. and that in common
decency they shouA get out. II that is
not the logical Interpretation of his sew
eraI letters 10 Belmont. then We have
totally misunderstood them. He says:
"'rhe Democratic party was never more
harmonious than now. and its harmony
can only be disturbed by admitting with
I'm the folds those who are at variance
with its principles and aspirations
These are Mr. Bryan's own words, and
they are plain enough for the wayfaring

while General Lee. like General Early

And no dousr General Lee did think at
the beginning that the struggle was an
unequal one. But there IS every reason
for believing that when he got wcli

the struggle was anything but hopeless
one. lie came TO have such unbouhoeo
confidence in that immortal army of
Northern Virginia that he believed
there was nothing that could withstand
its shock.

Mr.. Wise has intended to defame General
Lee BY what he has said. No doubt he
thinks he has paid him compliment.
But. in point OF fact, he has aided his
