correct construction, and application
OF the Fourteenth Amendment. 1t is
one about which there may be an
honest difference of opinion.
The Southern leaders will naturally
take the view that the Federal con
stitution does not apply to States that
have placed conditions on the suffrage,
as their interests lie in that direction.
But the great consideration involved
in this matter is, that this should not
be allowed to become the cause OF a
new feud and sectional quarrel be-
tween the North and the South.
The question of constitutional con-
struction involved can be settled cor
rectly by fair argument and candid
discussion, and it ought. for the good
or the whole country to be treated,
and decided, as IA question of constitu'
| tional law. and not as a question OF
partisan politics,
If. upon such a discussion, and de
termination of this question of con
stitutional law. it appears that the
Federal representation clause OF the
| Fourteenth Amendment applies tt
any of the States that have PLACED
conditions on the suffrage. The re
suit should be accepted without heat
or acrimony. as the organic law OF the
law.
When there has been full, and fai'
discussion of the question. by TIT
statesmen of the country, and TIT
public mind is fully informed upon
the subject there is no reason 10
doubling that the proper judgmen
finally reached will be both homes

The News, Of Jackson, calls down
Mr.. Fred Sullens, the Jackson cores
pendent of the New Orleans States, for
Sending out Il story that Il lynching
was about to occur in Jackson. 1t
characterizes the special to the States
as a fabrication, pure and simple. The
Clarion-Ledger hoped the lIatties-
burg Progress for publishing IA Sian
der on Jackson" and the Progress
comes back at the Clarion-Ledger with
the statement that it got the item
from the States Jackson special, and
says that the correspondent of the
States, Mr.. Sullin, is an attache OF
the Clarion-Ledger. 1t then asked
the Clarion-Ledger why it did not
jump ON the mar in nine feet of its
editor instead of jumping on an editor
ninety miles remote. Somebody at
Jackson is sending out stuff that is
injuring the whole state to a string Of
papers, including the Vicksburg Post,
the Birmingham News, the Meridian
Star, and the Atlanta Constitution.
The press in different parts of the
state is beginning to resent these
fakes, which are hurting the different
localities which are made by such
fabricated sensational space writing.

THE CARROLLTON TRAGEDY.

In our last issue we gayea very brief
account of the work of the mob in
Carroll county. by which two negro
women and one negro man were hang
ed at Carrollton, and afterwards their
bodies riddled with bullets. Since
then we learn that two or more ne
groes have persisted at the hands of
the mob near the vicinity of the MUIR
dered TailiaferrOS. The work of this
mob but emphasizes the futility OF
Justice or retribution being melted out
at the hands Of a body of enraged
men. In this Ease the mob rushed in,
over the protests of Judge W. +.
Stevens. District Attorney W. S. Hill
and others. who were on the ground
pleading with the mob to let law and
order rule. and assuring them that
they would at once convene court to
give the accused parties a speedy
trial. but they would harken tC
no words of counsel from any body
and PERSISTED in killing the only par
ties who could furnish any evidence as
to the guilt of the real murderers;
andlit seems to be the consensus OF
opinion that the real murderers are
still at large.
Mobs are dangerous, and did oul
people know it. we are standing on
the brink of an awful precipice. We
are sowing the seeds of disorder anc

unreasonable. They will listen to M
counsel or advice but seem bent upor
blood and blood they must have
whether they get those of the rea
culpritS or not.
We are glad to know that the goot
people of Carroll county deplore The
work of this bloody mob, and we be

MAGNIFICENT WORK.

MAGNlEiNLN WYNN.
Every day in the year the Manager
of the Mississippi Bureau of the New
Orleans Picayune, Mr.. Edward ;.
Wilson, sends his paper matter that is
helpful to the state and people. 1t is
admitted every where that Mr.. Wilson
has done the state more substantial
service along industrial lines than any
man in the state. The fact he has
not only successfully but brilliantly
led the movement away from cheap
politics to devoted industrial endeavor,
and every where his name is spoken
with praise accurate in any statement
| he makes, it has come to be a saying
in this part of the state, IF you saw
it i'm the Picayune, it is So" The
| SENTINEL has not at all times agreed
with Mr.. Wilson, but it has always
applauded his candor and his manly
way of expressing his opinion. He
despises fake journalism" and has a
contempt for the space writer, whose
idea seems to be to exc out one day
after another, with no thought of
benetiting the state, but to be as sem
sational as possible. even il he has to
apologize tomorrow for what he pub
fishes to-day.

count of a misspelled word.
At that time Judge Wedding
was a youth of IS and was teach
ing his first school. He visited a
spelling match in a neighboring
school where Miss Doble Coppage
was also a visitor. 1t CHANGED
that these two young people met
for the first time on the floor as
the representatives of their respec-
tive sides where they stood for
thirty minutes spelling from Web

spelled it correctly and turned him
down. They were then introduced
and he accompanied her home
when long courtship ensued.
But they did not marry. MIR.
Wedding married another woman
and Miss Coppage another man.
Three years ago she was left
widow and year later he was left
a widower. They resumed their
courtship some time ago with the
result that short time ago they
were married.

their excited faces, listening to
their impassioned voices and OBJ
serving their frantic gesture, a
matter of most serious import must
be on hand. In the midst of the
tumult and uproar stood up and
commanded silence with his uplifted
hand, there came a hush in the
room, all the eyes were fixed upon

and clear, rang out the following
words. my fellow-countrymen,
we are confronted with most mo-
mentous question in our history.
Our country is being over-run by
those barbarians from beyond the
seas. They have seized our terri
tory in the South, they have cap
tured our ports in the North, they
are pushing their iron boats into
our inland waters, they are laying
rails over the graves wherein our
ancestors quietly sleep. They de-
nounce the teachings of our great
Confuscius, they scorn our tradi-
tons and customs, they call us
heathens and doom us to hell, they
have trampled down everything we
held as dear and sacred. These
are ominous signs. Indeed some
of them tell you that their mission
is Of peace and good will? Ask
yourself how this mission COMFORTS
with those warlike preparations
which cover our waters and darken
our land. Are fleets and armies
necessary to a work Of peace and
good will2 No, i tell you, they are
implements Of war and conquest.

government protests again and
again, but in vain. We, as guar

mark your attitude towards her.
But to those who think China is the
incarnation of ignorance, the per-
sonifcation OF barbarism, who think
that she is a dead weight to the
march of civilization, that she needs
to be dismembered and her people
turned into drawers of water and
hewers of wood, will only say that
you have allowed your blind preju-
dice to sit embraced in your
judgment halls with God-given fac
ulties OF justice and reason tram
pied under its foot. China has no
apology to make before the world;
she begs no excuse for her exist
ence; she need not be ashamed OF
her past record. She has a litera-
ture, the beauty and richness of
which is comparable to that of any
nation, system of philosophy and
ethics, the profundity and morality
of which equal that of Plato and
Socrates. She is the mother of
many inventions that render the
art of printing, navigation and in
dustries possible. She has been
the mistress of the East, spreading
her benefcent and civilizing influ-
ences over her surrounding neigh
bors. Her literature was studied
in Japan, Korea and Burmah; her
ideas and ideals dominated those
people and made them what they
are to-day. Can anyone deny that
she has borne her share of the
worlds responsibility?
THE EAST AND THE WEST.

not done more, but show me the

ours and note the difference. :
Granting your estimate of the wide
disparity in the relative work of
the two civilizations, is there not a
cause to explain it? The Anglo
Saxon civilization is the combina-
ton of Hebrew, GTecian, Roman
and Teutonic civilization, each con-
tributing it's best to the whole,
whereas China is her own. The
superb naval and military equip
ments Of the Western nations, are
they not the results of their envi-
ronments? Study European his
tory and see. The many nations
of Europe crowded in an area not
larger than China's, mutually con-
tending for supremacy, invading or
invaded. killing or being killed and
where survival is to the fittest, It is
but natural, that since competition
produces excellence and efficiency
the means of defense and offense
are highly development. Turn to
China for moment. She had yir-
tually been the only nation in Asia,
with no rivals to contend with,
with mere weak states and DEEPEN
cies to deal with, her armies and
navies were always sufficient to
meet the demands, hence it follows
that since necessity is absent in
vention is unborn. No infusion of
new blood, no introduction OF for
eign ideas or civilization has ever
recuperated her. She is what she
| is to-day in virtue Of her own faults
and merits.
The nineteenth century brought
new phase in her history. The
even tenor Of her life was broken,
new figures appeared above the
Eastern horizon, her power aad SUI

an era Of unrest and conflict. This

chapter Of the worlds is a sad one
and much therein to stir the indig-
nation of our posterity. Ignorance
and couceit marks China's course,
injustice and greed that of the
powers, force their weapon, trick

CHINESE VIEW OF THE BOXERS.
Great temptation besets me here
to speak at length of the causes of
the boxer movement and what
might be said to its vindication,
but time forbids. No one deplores
more than I do the disruption be-
tween China and the rest of the
world, yet knowing that the cord
which binds them together is but
rope of sand, the sooner it should
come the better it is for all,
all, for longer the strain greater
shall be the collapse. China claims
no innocence, but she does deny to
own the entire blame. The boxer
movement is not an uncaused event
nor a spontaneous growth nor the
action of mere bands of brigands
bent upon murder. 1t is the inevi-
table result of the forces at work,
and 1t is the signal for better re-
adjustment. Allow me to take you
