TiIILnan on Negro Franchise.

Senator Tillman claims the credit oE
introducing the Declaration Of Inde.
pendence into the Democratic plat.
form; but it does not conform to his
speeches nor the practices of the Dem-
ocratic party in South Carolina. Ac-
cording to Tillman's theory all white,
men are created free and equal; but
he denies that Thomas Jefferson ever.
intended that the Declaration of Inde,.
peadenco should he applied to the COLI
ored race. When that instrument was;
written, he says, negroes were chats
tells. They had no more recognition
as human beings or part of the body
pJlitic than the cattle or horses upon
the plantations, and neither Thomas
Jefferson nor any other of the father,
not even those from New England,
ever dreamed that citizenship would
sometime bs conferred upon them.
Therefore, they wrote the Declaration
of Indepeoence and the Constitution
for white people only, and it was not
until after the war that any one ever
'ried to make those instruments cover
the colored race. 1t was then found
necessary to attach what Mr. Tillman
calls "tail to the kite" and finally
number of tails in order to secure ma.
jorities in the southern states for the
Republican party. The only way this
could be done was by giving the ballot
10 the negro, and the Costitution had to
be amended in order to DO it Mr. Till
man is very frank in the expression ot
his views on this subject, as he is on
all others, and when you accuse him
Of Inconsistency he declares that the
Democratic platform was not neant
for the negro race any more than the
Declaration of Independence. e.--W. f.

or is making a gigantic blutE hns
notice to the p,wers that the foreign
ministers at Pekiu would bo allowed
t. send or receive cipher messages is
al acknowledgement that tho min.
isters are prisoners, held as hostages,
and instead of resulting in stopping
the march of the allied army to Pekin,
is likely to hurry it if any thing can
conquer the international jaalousies
and chickering's sufficiently to hurry it.
In view of the strong and aggres-
sive attitude this government has
taken in demanding its treaty rights
in China, it becomes important for
everybody to know just what those
rights are. First and foremost, Of
course, comes the obligation Of the
signatorg powers to protect the person
of each others ministers; depl)matic
and consular agents. This all the
world know Notwithstanding many
conflicting staten ants, the Chinese
government failed to do, aud there is
grave doubts as to whether it even
made the attempt to do until after it
imagined it heard the tramp of the
allied army on it's way to Pekin. Next
in Importance is that section of the
treaty dealing with citiz,ns of either
country resi- ling in the other. That
promised the broadest protection, in
the exact words of the treaty, promis
ing to "assure to citizons of the u. S
in China, and to Chiaes, in the U. S
entire liberty of consc,enco and ex
emption from disability or persecution
on account OF their religions faith OF
worship in either couutry." 1t is no
denied that American citiz ,ns have
been butchered by Chinese, for NJ
other cause thLu their pra;tice a1t
preaching of Christianity. That i
another count that China must settl,
satisfactorily with this government
To what extent our commercial treaty
rights have been vipla'ci i, not ye
definitely known; bls every dol

paid by China, with interest. Reveng
is not debating the policy CT thi
government, which is asking no NOR
and will take no less than what belong
to it under its treaties with China.

in it that women ara acting as trus'

women get proper spirit of zeal in
the schools, the people will be better

am really amused to read the

ladies are invited out in public TO U.s.,
their influence under such a shallow
pretence as bouquets, banners, et,.,
when some of them have labored

Temperance md Prohibition. Es
pecially does it seem surprising that
the ladies should be requested to use
their influence in public, when it will
be remembered that this State has,
only a few years past, spent much
money, time aud argument in a State
convention apparently to set q seal
against womsn's vote or suffrage in
public, which is the only means, prop
er for woman's public influence.
Well, l truly hope there will be
plenty of women out ut al the cam
paign meetings with their bouq ,ets,
banners, ETC., to prove to thu mon
that they are ths very shallow craat.

that they are willing to accept and

the very best advantage. Bssid IS
going out to these meetings will af
ford the women much pleasure, aud
the opportunity for gaining much in'
