claw abidlng classes were the slave
holding, slave-driving, planters
and democrats of the South. Again
the writer proceeds: "The learn
ed world knew thirty years ago, as
lit knows today, that the North
wrongfully forced the South to a
rightful defense; that the South
stood clearly within her institu-
tional rights; that the North fought
for conquest, the South for indie
pendence." This writing, though
it was published in the state of
Virginia in the year 1900, would
have little weight as showing the
sentiment of the southern people
except that in the back of the
pamphlet is symposium of the
opinion of the southern press from
Virginia, from Alabama, from
Georgia, from Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi. The great papers of
these states proclaim with unani-
nous applause that this is the
sentiment of the South, that the
writer voices the opinions and the
thoughts of the southern people.
These quotations, these opinions
from the public press, are not the
productions of the heated magma
ton of black republican of the
North. They will be found in
cold print in publication entitled
United States "Iistory" as the
Yankee Makes and Takes it," by
Captain Cussons, published at
Glen Allen, Virginia, in the year
nineteen hundred.

SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME,

1t is a we'll known fact that two
thirds of the electoral votes claimed
by democracy and with which they
hope to elect Mr.. Bryan, come
from the solid south. Our demo
cratic friends tell us that while
this is true, the democrats of the
north hold the balance of power
and that there is no danger of
southern policies prevailing in the
government. When our demo
cratic friends are able to convince
us that it is the tail that wags the
dog, we will be willing to accept
their proposition. Now the mere
fact that two thirds of the strength
of democracy lies in a certain sec
ton of the country, is of itself a
matter of no moment and it would

suffrage, but that the laboring men
of the south are mistreated in
many ways. An instance was
brought to our attention yesterday.
In the state of Florida a law was
passed by the legislature forbid
ding any white man to teach in
colored schools or any colored man
to teach a white school. Now, as
no white man of the south would
teach colored school under any
circumstances and as no colored
man would be allowed to teach a
white school, this law was meant
simply to prevent the young men
and women of the north from 90
ing to the south and devoting their
lives to the uplifting aud educa-
ting the negro race.
1t was stated that at one place
in Florida there was large COL
lege erected and maintained bv
one Of the northern churches for
the higher education Of the colored
people. This was entirely a char
liable institution, supported parti
ally by the negroes themselves but
chiefly by the charity of the north.
Colored people from several states
attended the institution, which had
an enrolment of approximately
500. These were young colored
men and women who had struggled
through snch schools as We're pro
vided and who wished to obtain a
! higher education, although at great

sacrifice to themselves. The
teachers were white men sent from
the north at meager salaries to en-
deavor to accomplish some good
for this down. trodden race. AS
soon as this law was passed by the
legislature, an effort was made to
close this institution. The lower
courts held that it came within the
law and that the institution must
be closed. The supreme court,
however, reversed this decision
and said that the law applied only
to those schools supported by tax
alton, and not to charitable organ
izations. At the very next session
of the Florida legislature, that law
was SO amended as to make it APP
ply to this school and at present
every effort is being made to close
this benehcient institution.
They tell US that the negro is
ignorant, and yet they do every
thing in their power to prevent
him from becoming otherwise, not
only to the extent of refusing to do
anything themselves, but to the
extent of forbidding the charitable,
well-disposed people of the North
from maintaining at their own ex-
pense, an institution noble in its
character and purposes and which
aimed only at the making of better
and more enlightened citizens of
the republic. Contrasting this
treatment of the laboring men of
Florida with what is being done
in our new colonial possessions, in
the way of public works, in the

establishment of good, free public
schools, and we find that the very
worst despotism which finds shell
ter under the Stars and Stripes is
located within the United States
proper and under the direction of
the majority of that party which is
now proclaiming in loudest tones
its advocacy of the principles sthat
ali men are created free and equal'
and that ono government derives
its just powers without the consent
Of the governed"
Again we maintain that the ma
lority of the democratic party is
,nllnicable to the interests and the
traditions of the North. We quote
from southern writer ''1n 1861
the southern people, weary of dis
cord, exercised their sovereign
right. They withdrew from their
restless and contentious neighbors
and formed a more harmonious
union among themselves, asking
only to be let alone. The emer-
geucy which confronted them was
the enthronement of hostile and
revolutionary faction-a faction
which at fatal moment had come
into power through triple divi-
sion among the law-abiding
classes" The contention" spoken
of was the question of human
slavery; the leader of the "hostile
and revolutionary faction was the
immortal Abraham Lincoln; the

not be if the people of the south
were not distinct and separate in
their ideas of government, if they
were in sympathy with the re-
mainder of the country, and if their
government in the states under
their control did not show a des-
potism which is a menace to the
liberty of the republic. 1t is Of
much greater importance that the
principles of the Declaration of In
dependence be carried out and
maintained on the soil Of this con-
tinent than in the islands of the
sea. In both places it is important
that the widest possible liberty
should be extended TO all; that
peace and order should prevail and
good government exist, but if our
hearts go out to the half savage
tribes of the Philippines, how much
more should they go out to the
laboring men of the south, many
OF them living within the limits of
the thirteen original colonies by
whom the Declaration of Indepen
dence was made. AS yet we have
heard of no democrat who wishes
to preface his remarks on the indie
pendence of the people, and the
maintenance of the principles of
the Declaration by reading the dis
.patches from North Carolina. We
are told that if we lived in the
south, we would be against "Negro
domination" The more the
southern question is investigated
however, the more we find that it
is not confined to the question of

Nineteen Hundred.

The year 1900 promises to be a
very eventful one in the history of
the world. The two leading "pow-
ers" are now engaged in war, each
trying to subjugate a foreign peo.
pie. These wars will end this
year, il, perchanoe, other wars are
not cngendered first.
The settling of questions in
volved in these wars will affect
the commerce and change the map
of the world. In the United
States stirrirg times may he ex-
pected. One of the great political
parties has already appointed
time and place for holding its
National convention 20 nominate a
candidate for the Presidency. and
the other party Will do so soon.
The Presidential campaign of
this year vii be fiercely waged by
both parties. 1t is impossible. of
course, TO predict he outcome of
the present "boom," which seems
to be steadily gro wing all over the
country. Whether it will be per
manent and continue, as we hope
1T Will, or only temporary, and end
III pane this year, as some fear
and predict, remains to be seen.
The business outlook for our
section seems about the same. The
people are, generally, in good
shape. We all may be sure of a

do our best.

Price of Imperialism.

Under these new conditions, what
is so natural as that Republican lead
ers do not feel justified in favoring
internal expenditures" Basing their
demand for the large OUTLAWS for army
ana navy increase that must "be con-
unued indefinitely" upon the national
revenues as at present in force, it is
seen that for the increased military
expenditure there must be a CORE
spo-ding decrease of expenses in
some other direction. The retrench-
ment viii be made in internal affairs

is subordinated to the necessity of

and nve months of his administration.
me list does not include the case of
Commissary General Eagan, who. az
ter fair trial by courtmartial. was
sentenced to disgraceful dismissal
from the army, and whose sentence
the President changed into the reward
OF six years furlough upon full paw.
But it does include the pardon OF
sixteen bank wreckers and a commu-
tation OF sentence in the cases of eight
other men who as bank officers be-
trayed their trusts
1t includes pardon in the cases OF
siXty-one and the Communication OF
Twenty-Five sentences imposed upon
pOstmasters for embezzlement and
kindred crimes
IL includes the pardon of thirty
three counterfeiters and the tighten
ing OF sentences upon fourteen others.
Without going further into the cata-
iogue II is fair to ask why the Presi-
dent has come to the rescue of these
Infamous scoundrels by the use of his
pardoning power. Why has he grant
ed respite 10 bank wreckers and the
betrayers OF trusts, thus encouraging
) other bank officers to like ofense?
Why has he impaired the integrity Of
the postal service by pardoning en-
bezzling postmasters for crimes that
are objectionable? What possible
claim to clemency can any counter
fciter have?
The pardOning power is conferred
upon the Executive for one purpose,
and only one. IL is not intended for
the relief of criminals with or without
a pull" 1t is intended as proceed
ings in equity are. to correct mistakes
and cure injustices of the law. 1t was
never meant in any constitution that
the Executive should pardon Grim
iuals. 1t was meant only that as a
last resort his power of pardon should
rescue men unjustly convicted OF
crime.
In this view of the law and the
facts, President McKinley's wholesale
jail delivery is a gross abuse OF the
pardOring power.-N. Y. World.
