sIR:-solomon says TO everything
,rs,c is a season, and a time to every
nY,pose within the heavens.
O. this seems to be the time for the
sEii!fal politician, TO do his best to get
votes Every four years the negro be-
.o-rcs an important factor in the, poll
,ic,, world. sofar Us, getting votes are
s,rcerred, and when we take Into con-
siseration the past, i think it a great
n5yiIese to be recognizsd as a voter
and vote-getter.
While we lament TO see SO much un-
lawful destruction OF human lives and
r,,b,,5 property by the depraYed bum
ncrs Of the two races, we feel sure that,
az The noble Anglo Saxon the American
,,,r,ot spoke and said, Peace, be still"
pHS he rioters OF New Orleans. New
vorr civ. ana Akron, Ohio. and 1t was
ahayed there are philanthropists
or,GnC the race who are struggling TO,
ssow The nation that they are walking
worthy OF their vocation: W.
SJim Crow" Cars.
Tbsrr are many Of thetracs nervous
nm acrount of the. Jim Crow cars.
II the word Jim Crow means sepa-
ra,,op. then we have separate churches.
schools. barber shops, lodges. armies.
stores labor unions. families. etc. We
would;bs very glad,to seesthe day when
o,r rrsat manufacturers would build
ssnarate shop, WHARF, the Skilled me-
chanIc could cam an honest living. even
II II we're called ''jim Crow" shop.
What has President Mckinley or MIR.
Bryan 10 do with the Jim Grow" cars?
They are not railroad men.
There Is a, great deal ofSnervousness
on account OF the wholesale distran-
chisemcnt OF the negro In three OF the
suIthern states, This Is one OF the
most humiliatinS events that has oc-
CURED since the emancipation, which
gave TO every negro the right oil iran
ch!se and In the reconstruction OF the
south the negro voted for his once mas
Tor 10 have a vote and 10 hold office.
Thar Is. the ex-slave voted 10 take his
master back into the union. Now. after
thirty long years, they compensate him
by taking from him his vote and max
Ing him subject instead OF a citizen.
What Bryan Said:
Mr.. Bryan said that IL the Cubans
and the Fiiipinos were not allowed a
voice in the government, that they were
subjects and not citizens,
Let one OF the main issues of every
candidate for Congress be 10 reduce the
representation IN proportion 10 the dis
SrurNhi Is arnEnt Of the negro.
! am more than ever convinced that
the way 10 perpetuate prosperous
nation is 10 petpetuate the principles
OF the Republican party, and TO do this
We must unite and elect the entire tick
ct.
! fall to see how negro bishop or
preacher can Graw salary from
people who are all Republicans and
come out for The Democratic party.
II seems 10 be strange move FOR
Bishop Turner.
What We need in our ranks Is organ
ise.s=and speakers of our own race,
tren II 1t looks like Jim Crow.
Able to Meet Bishop Turner.
Then we will be able to meet Bishop
Turner and know why he is assisting
sourke Cochran. of New York. and Sem
ator Morgan. who said he was opposed
10 the negro having any share at all in
the conduct Of the government.
Senator Tillman, OF South Carolina,
said In the fifty-sixth Congress: This
Is a white mans government. and We
intend TO rule in the south by whatever
means II Is found necessary 10 employ"
Ben Tillman says that the negro has
no business with vote.
/ think that Bishop Turner is an in
,rudsr and Is going to try TO make iri-
truders out of US.
We want 10 ask Bishop Turner how
much he gets for Topping.
l wonder Il Turner rides in the Jim
Crow" cars?
The reason why there has been so
much riotiEg 1n1 lynching in the south
Is because the negro has intruded or
forced himself where he was not tnvit-
ed.
Should be Looked Upon as Traitors.
Now. there may be charges OF the
negro being lynched II he votes the
Democratic ticket against; the protest OF
the leaders OF the party. There has
never been any Inducements or prom
Uses OF protection offered by the Demo-
Gratis 10 the negros. But he hears 1t
said from the stump by the leaders In
every campaign that he is not needed.
Now. l feel that every negro should be
looked upon as traitor until the lead
ers Of the Democratic party say public
ly that they vii! guarantee TO US our
rights as citizens. feel that ! express
the thoughts OF nlne-tenths OF the ne
gross Of West Virginia when I say that
we do not recognize Bishop Turner or
Rev. Shaw as dictators or leaders of the
race. ~ J. W. WATERS.
