The Negro, North and South.

A Republican newspaper sum-
med up the situation in Southern
Illinois recently as follows.
"Down in the southern part of
Illinois, in Saline county, which
is so far south that it is farther
south than Lexington, KY, there
have been doughty deeds per-
formed during the last few weeks.
Some war bard of the Alglo- Sax
on race may some day put those
deeds into a stirring stanza or
two. Meanwhile in prose they
may be stated thus;
The Eldorado African Metho-
dist Church has been wrecked
and it's congregation dispersed.
The Eldorado public school for
colored children has been closed
and the pupils driven out of town.
The Eldorado Normal and In
dustrial Institute, modelled on
Booker T. Washington's school
at Tuskegee, Ala, has been bro
ken up.
Notice has been posted in Har-
risburg, the county seat, that all
negroes must Immediately leave
town."
We have called attention to the
situation in Southern Illinois be-
fore, but we do SO again in order
that we may emphaize the fact
that the white people above Ma
sons AMI Dixon's line are much
more intolerant OF and unjust to
the negroes than those below. II
is true that more negroes are
lynched in the South than in any
other section; but this for the
same reason that there are more
flies killed in summer than any
other seasons. But tho negroes
in the South who are the objects
Of violence, are the very lowest
ard worst Of their raoe-brutes
who assail women and girls, and
brutes who perpetrate exception
ally cruel and unprovoked muir
ders. No one need mourn fer

the average negro mobbed in the
South. He probably got what he
deserved. 1t is the white people
who feel impelled to take the law
into their own hands who are en-
titled to our commiseration. AT
any rate it is certain that in the
South, negroes as a rule are
mobbed for cause; and those who
are mobbed usually deserve all
they get. Outside OF this dispo-
stitch to take the law into their
own hands when the crime that
infuriates is committed, or the
murder that maddens is done the
Southern people are extremely
lenient toward the negro and
tolerant of his many lapses and
faults.
The negroes in Southern Hi
nois who provoked the whites
were guilty of no crimes. Their
only ofiense was in being alive in
Southern Illinois. For being ne
groes, for being alive, for wishing
ing to earn their living, and for
daring to 60 to church and attend
school, there we're ordered to
emigrate, their place of worship
was wrecked, their public school
was shut up, and worshipers and
pupils we're dispersed.
If this episode had taken place
in the South the Northern papers
would have rung with the brutal
ity of it, There would probably
have been a demand that the
national government send troops
down here to safe guard the
rights Of the black. Commercial

Which the Better Way.

Fifty years ago Japan was a
heather country, without trade
or commerce. Her people were
unacquainted with the outside
world, and utterly ignorant OF
Christian civilization. Without
the firing of shot or the she'd
ding of a drop of blood, Japan
was rescued from her isolation,
her people made acquainted with
the world at large and helped on
the road to liberty. No nation
presumed to teach the Japanese
self-government. No nation as
sumed to control them under the
specious plea Of benefitting them.
No nation declared its purpose to
govern the japanese and grant
them as much freedom as their
condition warranted and the in
Sharp County record., 1902-07-25

terests of the controlling nation
dictated. On the contrary, Ja-
pan was lett to work out her own
salvation, and although an orien-
tai island and occupying a want
age point for oriental commerce,
no nation seized the island.
During the fifty years since Com
modore Perry opened the ports
of Japan and made a treaty with
the Japanese, the people of Ja-
pan have made progress unpar-
alleled in TIE history Of the world.
Today japan is world power.
Her peopleare classed among the

For thr,e hundred years the

seizes the islands under the
specious psa of acting under
Divine pro ydence, drenches the
islands with blood, lays waste
towns and cities, devastates fields
and makes sport of yearnings for
liberty and freedom and self
government. Peace marked the
dealings with the heather Japan
ese; slaughter and sword mark
the dealings with the Christian
Filipinos. No one sought to in
terfere with the government of
Japan by the Japanese, although
they were ignorant OF Christian
ity and knew nothing of civil lib
erty. But a people yearning for
liberty, worshipping God, and
eager to tase place among the
nations Of BE earth, are coldly
told that they must submit to ar
bitrary goS5rnment, relinquish
the dream of centuries and be
shot if they oppose their con-
querors.

The jail is in very bad condition,
roof leaky, woodwork decaying

foul smelling; it is recommended
that no prisoner be kept in this

grand jury recommends that the
old paint be scraped off and two
new coats put on; the bolts are

At Clayton, a small Mississippi
village, Miss Virgie Tucker, a
prominent young lady, was out
buggy riding, when she was
suddenly seized by a negro and
dragged from her buggy. In the
struggle which followed the girls
skull was fractured and one OF
her arms broken. An indignant
mob captured the black brute
and burned him at the stake. The
negro met his fate with sardonic
smile upon his face, as if he
