THE RACE QUESTION.

oH our utSt page We give SOuo
extracts of two speeches delivered
at the Alabama race conference,
one by Ex-Gov. McCorkle, of Vir-
ginia, and one by Mr.. John Temple
Graves, OF Georgia. These two gen.
tlemen argue from different stand
points. From their speeches, as
we'll as others that were made, 1t is
evident that the real cause of COM
plant for the agitation of the race
problem has not yet been agreed
upon. Until that is done, the prup-
or remedy cannot be applied.
We agree with both that res.ric-
ton will not settle 1T. We think
with Mr.. Graves, that separation IS
the only just and complete solu-
ton. lfthere is no trouble with
,hom here and they commit no sin
only when they 60 to vote, as the
Post argued in its Tuesdays Issue,
then that could be settled by the
negro joining the Democrstic part,
and voting that ticket. TIE con-
tention seems TO be, that since they
will persist in voting the Republi-
can ticket, they should not be al
lowed to vote. It is fact that ali
negroes who refuse to vote the Re-
publican ticket, and either vote q
little boiling ticket or vote the
Democratic ticket, such negroes arr
good fellows and are allowed to
talk big and vote and have their
votes counted as cast. We have
seen this, and everybody knows it
is true.
The race question is not only q
political question, but is q great
moral question. As such, to settle
1t Alright, absolute justice must be
given both races. The cause, the
trouble, In all its phases, must first
DO agreed upon. before the prop. !
remedy can be applied. 1t Is dan.
yerous to experiment; such only
aggravates and il injurious both to
the physician and patient. Great
sins have been done by the two "a
ces existing together. We doub,
very much whether his right te

when justice will be administered,

papers and speakers, convince the
people that the amendment would
not disfranchise white men. The
people had heard that ont of about

Louisiana, only about 65, 0o0 vot. d

So they spit in their hands, backed

they would re- fix up all these edito-
rails and load them up and send him
down into that country, and have
mailed back as communications and
republisned IN all the papers, with
the hope that the people might be-
I;eve them and thereby be induced
to 60 out to hear their candidates
preach the gospel from the charcoal
text, "nigger! Niger! -
But the people know that changing

know that if people will not tell the

own eyes and ears, these men will
tell them bigger lies when talking
about things the people never saw
So simply mailing them there or
pretending to, does not help the
matter. It rather deadens the peo-
ple's faith in them. They have
heard too much of such stuff about
different sections of this State that
proved to be untrue. Especially
during and since the campaign Q
1898.
It is amusing to read these sup
posed Alabama and Louisiana
letters. They are simply the same
old hash warmed over. From the
contents, however, ono would judge
hat they tried to convert them into
fresh dishes of ''lie hominy." Any
way, the "lie" in them is very Ter.
eeptable. For instance, let Us give

they seemed to serve hot and prize
