Some of the newspapers have dis
covered that the race question is for

have penetrating optics. So far as the
amendment is concerned. it does not go
into effect before twenty-five months
more have passed. If the pugnacious
republicans a possibly prevent il, it
will never go into effect. 1t is a pow

in North Carolina for thirty years, and
tread gingerly when Mckinley is
named and do not make any reference
to his appointments of negro officials
in the south and particularly in East

SIGNS AND

The New York Ripley Review o n
sidering the disfranchising of ignorant,
unlettered negroes in the south says:
I'm fact so far as the negro is con-
cerned, the act of enfranchising him
at first was a crime almost as great
as that OF e~nslaving him. For it cloth
ed him with the powers and response
bilitieS of government at a time when
he was no more able to assume such
responsibility than a child. 1t taught
him to believe that the act of voting
entitled him to exalted places and that
hard work was unnecessary. From an
industrious slave he became an AFRO
CANT and lawless freeman in a large
rI!mber of cases
Upon the white people of the south
was forced the strange and unbeara-
BILE condition of rule of their former
slaves backed up by carpet-bag politi-
clans from the north"
That is plain speech and true speech.
Oh, if only all northern newspapers
had sense and fairness

some, but he will not prophesy much.
he thinks in this year ar east silence
IS golden"
In New York h authorities are
hunting evidence against the police
men for clubbing the negroes in the
late mob. There is plen-y of evidence
it is said. The complaint is that the
rowdy egroe escaped while the re-
spectable and Industrious negroes sor
the d%rubbing. How mucn Of ruth
there is in this is not yet revealed.
The Herald says that if me brute who
began the row in New YORK had been
a white there would have been no dis
~turbance. OF couse not. 1t says there
is "a widespread prejudice in that
city against the negro. The Chicago
Tribune, Extreme republican, has found
out something. 1t says; These and
other instances apparently indicate
that the feeling of special hatred
which exists in the south toward col
ored criminals is extending to northern
communities. Unless something is
done to stop its spread race hatred will
be found wherever there are black
men"
The best thing for the negroes if they
did but know it, is TO remain in the
south, become industrious and saving,
stop 1oafing, stop violating the laws,
keep out of h courts, become moral
and upright, and avail themselves of
the good will and friendship of the bet
ter classes of whites.
New York started the reaction n
gave the moral ems of that section a
shaking up. 1t was brought home to
their consciousness with something of
an earthquake shock that they were
not immaculate, and that all did not

and they began to see things in their
but many. As some of the newspapers
recover more and more from the dis
turbances they begin TO philosophise
with more calmneSS and self-compla-
cency, and ven begin to talk again of
the south and its enormitieS. Some Of
the more sane and sensible talk judici-
ously Of h negro question as % so
much sectional as national. While we
are expecting to hear more after awhile
of the old senseless gable anud ignor-
ance of the south and the problem in
hand there are some of h better
through a glass darkly'' at the negro
question and negro franchise. The
New Orleans Times-Democrat is the
most influential newspaper in that city,
we believe. 1T said this the other day:
For the last quarter of a century
nounced the south for it's treatment OF
the negro; or, har is worse, 1t has
preached at Is. 1t now withdrawS its
denunciation and frankly admits that
its treatment of the a problem from
the adoption of the fifteenth amend
ment down has been "a colossal mis-
take; hat the south, because it has
seen the negro more, and knows him
best, is more likely 10 reach a just and
honorable solution of all the problems
contained IN the race question There
is no need for any further sectional
discussion of this matter; it must be
considered wholly from a national
point of view"

ORGANIZE AT ONCE

The call for the formation OF demo-
cratic clubs in North Carolina should
be attended to promptly. A state con-
vention is called TO meet at Raleigh
on 18th September. A call from the
national candidates and from the
chairman Of the democratic national
committee, and from the president of
the national association of democratic
clubs has been issued urging the or
ganization of a club in every precinct
where one does not exist now This
in North C~arolina-by f. NJ. Simmons,
chairman state democratic executive
committee; Josephus Daniels. member
national democratic committee from
North Carolina; ]. S. Carr, president
state association Of democratic clubs;
Ed. Chambers Smith, vice president
for North Carolina and member execu-
tive committee national association
democratic clubs.
They say that there are about 1000
clubs in this state. and they are urged
to organize for the presidential cam
paign. 4 national convention Of clubs
will meet in Indianapolis Of 3rd Octo-
Der. Each precinct club is hereby re-
quested, at it's first meeting, 10 select
delegates to his convention and elect
one delegate for every ten members to
the national convention. Each club
shall be entitled TO one delegate to the
several conventions for every ten and
fraction over five names on the club
roster. 1t is of course a matter of very
great Importance that there shall be
thorough campaigning and organiza-
ton if North Carolina is to be carried
for Bryan and Stevenson. A half
handed campaign, or a divided democ-
racy simply means giving the leven
electoral vote OF the state to h most
treacherous, dangerous, usurping presi-
dent who ever sat in the chair of
George Washington. The man who
was active against the south when in
the house of representatives, and de-
lighted in affecting and offending the
white men of our southland with devil
ish force bills, and as president, to
visit pains and penalties upon the
White communities with roguiSh, ras-
cally negro postmaSters, is the very
fellow to repeat it all with intensified
malice and vigor if reelected He will
cOnstrue it a carte blanc to play
the devil" on a grand scale, and will
remember North Carolina as the bear
remembered it's pursurer, with UGH a
mighty hug of affection as to squeeze
out the very life. We lave no more
confidence in Mckinley, or respect for
him than we have for Mark Hanna.
The latter distributes Doodle and de-
Oauches the ballot and Mckinley takes
all possible benefit therefrom. Both
are moral lepers and should be made
political Pariahs.
Let the democrats lock shields and
work with a sincere and united purpose
10 saw the white people of the east

ton and the state from the curse of
Mckinleyism for another four years of
crime, folly, madness, usurpation of
power. Organize actively and at once,
