states, depriving the negroes of self
government, and putting the state gov
ernments under the exclusive control
of the whites"
This is really the "argumentam a0
hominem' which, while not denying
the validity of an accusation, retorts
that the accuser is guilty of the same
offense. In other words it is no argu-
ment atall, for the simple reason that
1.-TWO wrongs do not make one right"
But the PHILIPPINES would doubtless
be glad to have self-gOvernment upon
the same terms given to the Southern
blacks. There are very few PHILIPPINES
| who can not read and write, and while
few of them are very wealthy most of
them own home and some personal
property.
The fact is that these amendments of
Southern state constitutions are right
in themselves. The only criticism that
can be justly made upon them is that
they do not come in the correct chron-
illogical order. They ought to have
been made at the time negro suffrage
was given, or before. That they were
not then made has been the cause of
much election fraud no doubt, for the
whites tried negro rule for some years
after negro suffrage was given, and
found the condition uncomfortable Car
pet baggers from the North went into
the Southern states and through negro
votes obtained control of the states,
and introduced such an era of corrupt
government as was never seen before
or since in this country. The condition
was such as to justify armed revolution,
and it came pretty near resulting in
that, under the "Ku Klux" and the
shotgun policy But the blacks were
not persistent it was the carpet bag
gers who had led them on, aud when
these fled there was no longer much
trouble in 'intimidating" the negroes,
and the whites easily resumed control
of the state governments. They did
this unlawfully unless it be conceded
that self-defense is the highest law.
They nave learned something since,
aud now they are fixing their coustitu-
tons in such way that they do it law

Had the negroes of the South been
educated, intelligent, property holders.
like the PHILIPPINES. this would have
been wrong. The first great mistake
made in this matter vas made by the
republican party in bestowing the suff-
rage indiseriminately upon all the
blacks. The better class Of republicans
were free TO admit this mistake after
wards. And no one having a fair
amount of candor can deny that when
this mistake was made it was made in
the interests of the party rather than of
the negro.
As matters are now, and in the light
of experience in the South, there is no
dispute between democrats and repub-
licans who are honest and candid, that
these constitutional amendments in the
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1900-10-16
Unpa tr1Otic.

The statement of Mr.. Webb Brown,
in the republican county convention,
that there is no patriotism or business
capacity in the democratic party, is not
patriotic. 1t is the utterance of bigot
who would, if opportunity offered, burn
his neighbor at the stake for differing
from his opinion who would tolerate
neither freedom of speech nor action if
he had power to suppress it. Such a
man is neither good citizen nor a
good neighbor Least of all, is he fit
representative of free people in leg
islative assembly
Such a man has lost faith in popular
government. More than six and one
half million electors voted for Bryan in
1896. This by no means represents the
full democratic strength. If this great
body of electors has neither patriotism
nor business capacity, then the end of
popular government is not far off.
The democratic party has governed
the country for more than one-half of
its history. Under its rule the public
domain was extended from the Missis-
sippi to the Pacific and from the Lake
of the Woods and Puget Sound to the
Gulf of Mexico and California. Its
diplomatic triumphs have not been SUR
passed by those of all the other parties
in opposition.
Its business capacity is challenged on
account of its unfortunate victory of
1892. Harrison, the republican Presi-
dent, received from the conservative
business administration Of his demo
cratic predecessor an OVERLOOKING treas
ury, and an annual revenue of one hun
dred million dollars in excess of all
legitimate needs of the govern
ment BY reckless legislation and
eXtravagant expenditures, they
emptied the treasury, brought the
country to the brink of bankruptcy aud
then made an assignment to tho demo-
Gratis to liquidate the Indebtedness. Had
the republicans carried the election and
thus harvested what they had SO
wickedly sown, the generation which
elected them would not have witnessed
another republican administration.
The party would have been drawn into
as complete oblivion as were the
old Federalist and Wing p,srties.
Mr.. Brown is not only bigoted and
an unpatriotic partisan but i short
sighted politician, In an appeal to the
voters of county a majority of whom
have been in the habit of casting their
ballots for the democratic candidates,
hebluntly and insultingly tells Them
that they are without patriotism or bust
ness capacity He tlrst impeachss their
intelligence and integrity and then
asks them to vote for him, Shame up
on his impudenee and ignorance. He
is unworthy 10 represent free and
liberty loving people. Every man who
believes in the right to think and act
for ones self should vote against such
narrow-minded aud ignorant bigot.

Negro Disfranchisement.

For some years past, Southern states
have been amending their constitutions
SO as to provide property and educa-
tional test for voters. The avowed pur-
pose of these amendments is to reduce
the negro vote. This purpose is indis-
putably shown where, as in the case of
North Carolina whites who were citi-
zens before suffrage was given to the
negroes, and the male descendants of
such whites are exempted from this
educational and property test.
Democrats of the North have looked
with some surprise upon the apathy of
the present republican party concern
ing this measure, which has for some
years past been spreading throughout
the Southern States. Time was when
it would have raised a storm of republi-
can protest But it has not even been
noticed until recently. 1t is now occa-
Isionally referred to by republican
papers, not as being wrong, but as
being an example which Southern dem
ocrats have set before republicans, and
which republicans are following in
Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES. They
say to US: "You democrats are hypo-
critics when you say the PHILIPPINES
should have self government. You
don't believe in self-government. See
what you are doing in the Southern

The Waukesha dispatch, in COM
menting upon the Milwaukee Sentinels
disreputable attack on Louis Bohmrich,
says: 1t should be borne in mind in
this connection that the charge against
Mr.. Bohmrich is that of being an adj
vocate of tina same Bennett law Ameri-
canism which the Sentinel so vigorously
championed in the champaign of 1890
The best answer to it is that MIR.
Bohmrich was one of the most unflinch-
ing opponents of the Bennett law and a
search of the Sentinel files would show
that he was then abused for defending
his countrymen in their endeavor to
maintain the independence of their
church schools. Political calumniatory
is a two-edged sword. 1t cuts both
ways, but this is fact which those who
use it seem to forget"

The Amerika, staunch republica n
paper of Madison, does not think La
Toilette is the man for governor 1t
says it does not see how LaFollette can
expect to get the support of Governor
Scofield or the late Senator Sawyer's
fsiends. The article ends with the fol-
lowing
Finally, we have no reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. LaFollette has changed
his views in regard to the Bennett law.
The nativistic Hoard, LaFollette and
Haugen triumvirate still exists and
these three were the chief champions of
the Bennett law in $780, We are not
disposed to dig up corpses, but it is but
fair to remind our readers that Mr.. La
Toilette was as fanatical an advocate of
the Bennett law as Mr., Hoard himself.
We still regard that law as an unwar-
ranted attack on the parochial schools
and upon the right and liberty of the
parent to choose the school at which
the children are to be educated"

WHO will haul down the flag 81
asked Mckinley. He hauled it down
himself in Alaska, and thereby he did
wrong. He hauled it down in China,
and says he intends to haul it down in
Cuba; and this is right 1t may be
either right or wrong. patriotic or
reasonable, to haul down the flag. 1t
depends on the case. If the flag is
erected in the Philippines as the en-
blem of the doctrine that governments
do not derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, "a doctrine
directly opposed to our declaration of
independence, he who thus hoists it, be
he president or what not, is a traitor;
and he who would haul it down, and
save it from such misuse, is patriot.
