the cause for which they contended and
which they regarded as sacred is less

its appeal to the conscience of those

THE EFFECT UPON THE NEGRO
VOTE.

The Charleston News and Courier
makes a quotation from an editorial OF
Messenger on the Caper-ing IL
South Carolina. and the organization
of a new party. The impossibility OF
having two republican parties In the
south may finally impress the movers
Capers. Butler & Co The negroes will
be sure to come to the front and there
Will be realized what aforetime Butler
n others most dreaded and bitterly
opposed. The News and Courier says
of the Messengers i~nquiry-"But what
Will h negroes in South Carolina do
about il?
That is really the question after all
in estimating the consequences Of the
new party movement. 1t is undoubted-
ly a good thing for the negroes, IL they
viii only keep quiet and permit things
to take the natural and inevitable
course. Nothing can prevent an appeal
being made finally to the negro vote,
and it will be found that what the
government has not been able to Sc
cure for the negro in tie way OF equal
political rights by congressional enact
ments and the bayonet policy at the
polls will be secured to him by the &C
tive competition for his support at the
polls of two factions or parties Of ma
tive white men determined to achieve
the mastery. The negroes in South
Carolina will be very unwise If they
attempt to interfere in any way with
the plans &C the president and his aids
in overturning existing political condi-
tons in this state"
1t may strengthen this view if what
is said by the Boston Herald, the larg-
est circulated and most influential pa
per in New England, is considered in
connection with it. 1t thinks this new
policy of McKinley-this e and sud-
den departure NEAR practically the
casting out of the negro. Its words
are not misleading probably. We quote
a part:
ut may prove to have influence
enough to overthrow the whole project
a to have been devised by President
Mckinley. If it does not, it must re-
verse the policy of the republican party
as proclaimed and acted Upon for more
than a third Of a century.
The republican party made the col
ored man a voter. The question to be
decided in this issue is as to whether
it shall abandon the support of him as
a voter. 1t is directly involved in the
scheme initiated in South Carolina.
That scheme is based on the creation Of
a white republican party at the south,
to come from accessionS from h DEM
ocratic party acting with those white
men of republican sympathies now. 1t
is conceded that this cannot be brought
about without the eliminat ion of the
support of the negro's right to vote
from southern politics."

Editor Messenger.
Sir:-In reading your able article or
this morning. IN which you quote and
comment upon an article In the Inves-
tor. one very important factor seems
to have escaped attention. Under
former conditions there was no force
Except an u~norganixed mob. to Oppose
the oppression of the possessors Of
wealth and power, whether In
the Roman empire. in France
before the revolution. or In England.
Today the conditions are widely differ
emit: labor Is slowly but surely awaiting
itself OF the power which Is evolved
by organization.
The ramifcasious OF this organiza-
ton now include all trades and oecu-
pations and are invading h very cit
adel OF capital by the formation OF
leagues among salaried men, Against
the encroachments and expressions OF
the monstrousiy rich and their allied
m~illionaires Is opposed h high intel
ligence of the average American. plus
the power OF organized labor. which
will soon include within its ranks all
who are opposed to plutocracy and all
who suffer loss OF opportunity by the
encroachments of capital upon the do
main OF enterprise.
When this vast and compact organi-
zation h have evolved its natural
leader. born with the genius OF the
occasion inc its requirements. its
Cromwell, Napoleon or Washington. a
revolution will follow. the reign IL
money will hav ended. There is no
reason TO assume that this revolution
will be a satUrnalia OF horror. Under
wise leadership IL would be bloodless-
ii will be IL not prematurely p~recipitat-
ed. The problem that follows Is the
formulation of a government that will
equitably distribute the products Of In
dustry. It remains to be seen whether
we are yet sufficiently advanced In the
science of government to correctly
solve the problem. We are without
presidents, except perhaps such hints
as might be gathered from the rule of
the Incas of Peru-a country where
poverty was unknown. whose language
did not contain the word charity and
whose money was not the medium OF
exchange-did not exist in fact
It is still possible to avert a revolu-
ton, the consequences OF which no
man can f~oresee. by a return TO true
democracy and the enforcement OF the
principles OF Jefferson n the founders
of the republic, who certainly never
contemplated such a condition as ex-
lists today.
1t was M~achavelli the wisest OF Ital-
ians who said "a government should
often return to. or survey its
tons" This is the lesson OF the hour
for democrats.

A DISASTROUS GUEsSER.

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, it is
thought. will succeed Mr.. BaIfour in
the British House of Commons when
the latter shall go to the House of
Lords. OF all war phophets Joseph is
the very worst. He is a man of mental
force. but not wise. He was a lieu
tenant of the great Gladstone, but de-
serted him at a time Of stress, and
found his reward-office. He is really
the author of the cruel, costly war
waged so numerically against the
brave Beers. Chamber lain was a sor-
ry guesser as to the speedy outcome
and ending Of the war, or possibly he
would have beer more careful in run
ming his head into a moose and butting
it against lar facts that would shake
him to his boots. We are reminded of
his fateful and foolish foreshadowing
of what was not to happen by some
figures reproduced in the Atlanta
journal. Chamberlain said that all the
British soldiers that would be needed
to sQuelch the Dutch Beers would be
10000, and that the outside expendi-
lures would be 800, 000, 900, and possibly
might not exceed $780, 900. The number
of soldiers ent amour to 26O, 900 and
expenditures have reached $3.50, 900, 900.
This is the admission of the Chancel-
Tor of the E~xchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. The losses of men have been
large. OF all probably 49, 900 men have
persisted. Chamberlain has an awful
upon him.
