Why THE souTHls SOLID.

The sting Of the Iowa Republican plat
form is IN the tail.
We are earnestly opposed" 1t says.
ITO all legislation designed to accomplish
the disfranchisement Of citizens upon
lines of race color or station in life, and
condemn the measures adopted by the
Democratic party in certain States IN
the Union to accomplish that end"
The Republican party may bid as much
as it pleases for the Southern vote, and
may even go to- the extent OF declaring
for tariff reform. as did this Iowa con-
ventios1 In faint-hearted sort of way.
but 80 long as the sentiment which IN
spired the negro plank in the Iowa plat
form is abroad at the North. there can
be no affliauon between Northern Re-
publicans and Southern Democrats. Every
such declaration tends to make solid,
and 1t will be SO to the end. Whenever
the Republican party comes wooin9 IN
this part OF the country 1T must choose
between the white man and the negro.

THE GRAND JURY.

The grand Jury will take a recess until
September This Is somewhat disappolnt-
ing, but the members OF that body are
all good citizens, and they may be count
ed upon to do their whole duty. Let
them do it in their own way. and let
them be assured that they have the
backing of the community.
They may not be able in every case,
as is inttmated, to find an Indictment, and
some Of the guilty may escape punish
ment by law But those who the grand
jury condemn will not escape punishment.
II It be pointed out by these citizens that
any public servant has betrayed his trust,
such person will be dashed by the whip
Of public scorn. which is worse than
Roman scourge.
1t is gratifying, too, to know that the
Council will take the matter up where
the grand jury leaves of. and deal with
any delinquent who may be so lucky as
to escape the courts under cover Of a
technicality.
These be the days Of publication Let
us see to it that the cleansing is COM

dded to such trial: entitled to produce
evidence in his behalf: entitled to have
a lawyer to plead his cause.
But while he was in the custody Of the

which had been pursuing him went TO

or Jury swung him Up to a limb and rid

tho negro assert his innocence and beg
for IN opportunity to produce proof. The
mob was determined to have his blood
and its vengeance was wreaked upon
him
This mob trampied the Law Of the State
under its feet and dehed the authorities:
it broke into the States prison; it ran
rouEh-shod over the representatives of
government: took the States prisoner
from the States officers and murdered
him This may seem a harsh statement
OF tho case. but it is simple statement
Of fact. This man was as surely muir
dered as though an individual had gone
into the jail and shot him down. 1t Is
rarely that there has been an exhibition
in this peaceful State OF mob violence

this
What are the authorities going to do
the men who committed this crime are
unknown and cannot be apprehended and
identified. The act was committed in
broad daylight and was witnessed by
hundreds of people in and around the
town OF Leesburg. We are further in
formed that many people. including wo-
men and children, stood on the roadside
and looked upon the mob and cheered
as the mob passed with its victim.
What, we again ask. are the autton-
ties going to do about it? VIII they
let these men escape or will they arrest
them and try them in a court of justice
for the murder which they have COM
mitted against the peace and dignity CT

This is misleading. It is true that
the Democratic platform of 1896 held that
tariff duties should be levied for pur-
poses of revenue" and so on, but, 1oi-

don is settled we are opposed to any asi-

meet the deficit in revenue. caused by

This was a distinct abandonment of the

The Norfolk virglnian-Pilot makes this
point:
"And now the announcement is made

Of common sense, business, convenience
