but the new law is: s'Suffer little
children to come unto me, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven" Some
times I sigh like the poet, Ccwper,
and say, "Oh for home in some vast
Wilderness" where rumor Of oppres-
sion and deciet might never reach
me. When I read of murders and
suicides and burglaries and arson and
horrible outrsges it makes me sad
and then there is always something
in the same paper to make me mad
some lies and slander or some North
ern devilment-
Governor Northern made a great
speech in Boston and I am glad it
has been printed in pamphlet form,
and if I was the State I would order
enough of them to give copy to
every child in the State that could
read, and I would make every negro
school teacher in the State read
page aloud every day to his pupils
until he had read it all, and if be
didn't read it to them. and read it
we'll and tell them that it was the
truth, I would turn him out-dcgon
him, confound him-I am tired pay
ing money to educate negroes to hate
people. I don't believe there is ne
gro teacher in the State who tries to
train the negro children in these
things. Nor do I believe that the
negro preachers are any better. A
most excellent Christian lady Of our
town asked her colored maid the
other day if her preacher everpreach-
ed anything about these horrible
crimes that are now shocking the
good people Of this State, and she
said, "No, maam; he never says any
thing about it" The unwilling fact
is that the negroes do not think it
very much of crime. And they
believe the other side just as the
Yankees do.
Ida Wells made big money out If
her lies years ago, ard now she and
her partners have got up another spec
ulation on the Sam Hose case, and
have had hundreds of thousands of
pamphlets printed that contained
that lying detective story, and are
selling them all over the North. They
don't care cent if it does cause
more lyncning.
And this thing has got all over
England. A friend of mine who
lives near London, sent me late
copy of the London Chronicle, pa
per as Influential as the Times, and
the editor copied batch of lies from
the last United States Howard asso-
citation report which says that slavery
has been virtually established in the
Southern States, especially in Geor-
gia and Florida, and that all the hor-
rible pictures in ''Uncle Toms Cabin"
have been revived.
That the illegitimate children born
in the convict camps are kept in psr-
petusl slavery, and that the female
convicts are outraged by the camp
officers at pleasure, and that girl of
seventeen, who ran away to avoid it,
was caught by the blood hounds and
stripped and aogged amid jeers. The
report says there were 286 lyrchings
of negroes last year, and forty seven
up to april of this year, of whom all
were negroes but eight. OF all
these, thirty-two were accused ~ of

Pingree Gives His Views.

No PopuIist or Democrat has said
anything as harsh against McKinley's
Philippine war policy as some of the
leading Republicans. Read the follow
ing from Pingree. Republican governor
of Michigan:
''What is your opinion of the war in
the Philippines?" he was asked.
''It is inhuman. promptly replied the
governor" and should be stopped. 1t
will certainly cost the Republican party
the presidential election next year.
1.-THE administrationhas so committed
itself to the Philippine war that it can
not recede now and hold the respect 70
the country. 1t seems to be case
where the administration cannot retreat
and it also appears that it is making lit.
tie advance. I think that the admins.
tration would like to find a way to let
go but that cannot be done with dignity.
Even McKinley's two-spot' Burrows.
says that the Philippine war means the
year.
1.-THE war against Spain for Cuban
liberty was all right and for humanIty's
sake. but the war should have ceased
when Spain was driven out of Cuba. 1t
is nothing short of crime to wage war
against the Filipinos who are struggling
for their liberty the same as this coun.
try did over century ago.
my sympathies are with the Beers,
and hope they will be able to retain
their independence.
1.-The Republican party committed as
it is to trusts. imperialism and the Phil
ippine war, can see nothing for it but
an overwhelming defeat next year and
the election of a Democratic presi
dent and house OF representatives"
