THE LUST THAT KKLLRTH,
In the days OF slavery when the mas
ters would take young slave girls, Sc
duce them, make them yield TO satisfy
their animal passions and the Negro
woman dared not refuse; take their
own daughters and sell them to Negro
traders for their mistresses. Now, ]
ask. is their any wonder under these
conditions?
Why ia il this southern lady should
bring tn memory what the grand faith
ers and fathers did TO this poor help
less race?
She speaks of the Negro lacking
"honor and noble ambitions" Is there
any wonder that the Negro of the
south lacks honor and noble ambitions
when they were born under the lash,
bound in chains, sold like mules?
TIE DOOMED DAUGHTER.
She spsaks OF doomed daughter
OF mother hardened by crime" Is
there any wonder that this mother
should not be hardened when she has
seen her daughter sold for this fiend-
ish purpose by her master7
She speaks of the marriage vows"
There were some masters Of the south
who did not allow their Negro women
to marry as they liked. They had to
suit them in many cases just as . man
breeding fine stock. He would not al
low them to marry outside of his own
premises, and therefore mated them
as he liked.
say it is wrong to condemn the Ne
gro Of to-day for this, that was forced
upon them by their masters centuries
ago. They stole the Negro from his
native country. brought him to Amer
lea, mixed in their Caucasian blood
and now condemn him for the dis
grace.
THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
say the Negroes virtue should not
be spoken of by the Caucasian who is
responsible for the mixed blood that
flows in the veins of the Negro to day.
l say it is a disgraca to any southern
woman to write an article Of the kind
concerning the Negro womRn's virtue.
1t does not reject much credit on the
white men OF the south.
II this lady would only take the
time she spends writing Of Negro wom-
ems virtue, use it in missionary work
among the low, degraded class of white
women. she would be doing q grand
work. CHARITY should begin at home"
and help to save the harlots among her
own fair sex who have fallen Of their
own accord unlike the poor Negro girl
saw sold in Richmond, Va, in 1852, who
when her master sent for her to- come
and spend the night with him said,
she would die first," and what was
the result? She Was taken in the
guardhouse and severely whipped.
There Was her mother and sister to
witness this great wrong.
This lady says her purpose is to call
attention to the debased motherhood
OF the Negro OF the south. l would
advise the lady not to write up SUBJ
jects where her race is 80 deeply in
volved in the great wrong and sin they
have placed upon this people.

A Great Work.


During the past three months the rep.
resentatives of the farmers societies

been hard at work organizing and ex-
tending these societies all over the
wheat belt Of the Northwest.

where he has appeared as organizer and
lecturer before numerous audiences of
farmers in the above named states.
AS result of his great work we have
extended the Grain Growers into each
of those states, and as result of the
distribution of farmers literature by the
100000 we have also started the organi-.
cations in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Missouri.
Among some Of the practical things
that Judge Moran assisted in establish
ing was 80 new farmers elevators whose
combined receipts will amount to about
100000 bushels, which, it is hoped.

that is to warn our Populist readers that

Editor Representative:
Your valuable paper is always so full
of interesting reading matter that I feel
bashful to ask you to make room for a
few lines. But in justice to The Rep
resentative and to a man I have had
some dealing with, wish you could
publish this. Last winter I decided to
buy some chickens, but did not know
where to get them. At last I remem-
bered that I had seen an advertisement
in The Representative. I wrote to you
and you forwarded my letter to the man.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

One of the wealthy witnesses before
the industrial commission, named
Lockwood, called Rockefeller and his
pals some pretty hard names-"high-
waymen, brigands, etc." Among other
things, Mr.. Lockwood said:
If you have got to be robbed, it does
not matter much whether you are held
up by Dick Turpin with pistol, or by
John Rockefeller with railroad; it is
robbery all the same"
Now, II a socialist should say that, he
would be liable to arrest. But Mr..
Lockwood Is wealthy Oil producer.
Mr.. Lockwood based his attacks upon
the railroads and the Standard COM
pany upon testimony taken before the
interstate commission, where it was
shown that the railroads of Pennsylva-
MIA had paid the Standard people SILL
900 In rebates in 16 months, in utter
defiance Of law.
Speaking of the remedy for the evil.
Mr.. Lockwood said it was in public
ownership of the railroads, and it was
not to be found in the courts-the
courts were too slow and expensive.
:sThe railroads and the oil company can
razoo man up and down in the courts
for 10 years." he said, until he is
ruined financially, and then go on with
their work, leaving their victim strand

"The railroad companies can control
the appointment of the attorney-genera
and Of justices of the supreme court;
what do they care for the law" the
witness asked
The only safe plan, Mr.. Lockwood |
said, was to take the railroads out of |
the hands of the corporations and place
them under control of the government,
so that every man could go to market as
cheaply as every other man.
He advocated the taking of the roads

HISTORY AND DONNELLY.

Citizens of France cannot be more
vaclllating than our own forgetful peo-
pie. No further back than 1862 the
associated banks of New York, Boston
and Philadelphia amended the green
back bill of Lincoln's time, so as to
read that all duties shall be paid in
COIN" and that "COIN' shall pay the
interest on paper held by Shylocks. The
associated banks held between 80 and
IS per cent of the small amount of
available COIN" To buy good of for
eigners the people had to buy this

government, by an unwise and UNEQUAL
law, returned the COIN in interest on
their loans.

How clearly, albeit vainly, they showed

who gave his life for his country. was
not one whit less creditor of Uncle

"who supplied the soldier with food and

Saved by His Dog.

Perhaps it accords with the general
scheme Of things that brave and de-
voted dog should lose his life in de-
Tending a fool, but it seems a waste OF
good material. This reflection is pro-
voked by dispatch in the New York
Tribune, which says that a Buffalo
huckster took his dog along, when, not
long ago, he drove to Lockport.
On his way home, not far from Lock-
port, the man saw swarm of bees in a
tree near the roadside. He climbed over
the fence, calling to the bulldog to fol-
low, and then tried to set the animal on
the bees, ITO see what they would do"
The dog backed away from the swarm
whining, as If warning his master to
desist and come to the wagon. The
huckster reviled the dog as a coward,
and tossed the stick into the bunch of
bees. The swarm was after him in an
instant
The dog seemed to understand his
masters peril, and jumped between him
and the thickest of the swarm. The
huckster sprang over the fence and into
the wagon. A dozen bees had fastened
on him and'"his hands and neck were
badly stung, but the dogs movement
saved his life.
The dog snapped at the bees savagely.
