H. d. MONEY.

Hon. H. D. Money, in a speech
delivered in the United States
Senate last week, freely and ably
discussed the race problem, in
connection with the IndianOla
post Office case. Mr.. Money said
IN part "If there is anything on
earth that l hope God will protect
this country from, it is from the
idea that there shall be, or ought
to be, or ever can possibly be.
any social equality between the
races. l object to.
any negro being in the army of
the United States, this is a white
mans country, and a white mans
government. Speaking for the
South, we honestly believe the
negro race is utterly incompetent
for self.g0vernment, as has been
demonstrated by all experiments.
1t is only as a race l speak of
them, and as q race they are in.
competent for the duties OF citi.
zenship. If every colored man in
the South, twenty-one years of
age, had been graduated from the
finest university of Eul ope or
he would not be fit for
the obligation or duties of Ameri.
can citizenship. 1t is not in the
OF blood.n

subject to the wishes OF the voters
of Lafayette county. Col. Faikner
served one term in the Lower
House, and for the past four years
as Senator. aud filed both posi-.
lions with honor to himself and
the people he represented. He is
a man of incorruptikie principles,
staunch integrity, and unblemish.
ed honor, and enjoys the full con.
fidence of all who know him. He
is a learned jurist, a ripe scholar,
a polished gentleman, and states
man of whom any people might
feel justly proud. His experience
in the past, as we'll as his ability,
untlring zeal and patriotic interest
in town aud county, but dit him
more competently for this high
Office. Beyond a doubt he is with
out a peer in the senate, and it is
a matter of cOngratulati0n that he
is willing to serve in this position.
Our county stands in need of just
such an able statesman as Col.
Falkner has proven himself to be
by former service, and his friends
and constituents will take great
delight IN giving him their enthu.
siastic support during the can

THE NAN FOR THE PLACE.

Candidates for Offices high and
low, r beginning to go up and
down and to and fro, throughout
the great state Of Mississippi,
seeking whom they may secure
to vote them into power. This
being the way we have of appoint
ing our heads and leaders, or
rather the way they have Of be.
coming the chosen ones, il all
right and proper. The more that
present themselves for public in
spection. the wider will be our
scope Tor selection. There is no
doubt but there will be a sufficient
variety of official timber for the
voter to select the best material
for the place, but the trouble is,
will the average voter be willing
to lay all personal prejudice and
partisan spirit aside, and cast his
vote for the man best suited for
the placef
Never, perhaps, in the history
of our great republic, has there
been a greater need for purity,
intelligence, and incOrruptible
honor and integrity in public
leaders. AS an enlightened, pro-
gressive nation, we should unite
in refusing to longer submit to
demagogue rule, and demand our
rights to intelligent and just ad'
ministration of the laws of our
land. Each voter has a right to
choose the official he desires
elected, and in making this choice
he should realize the responsible
ty placed in his hands. By nc
means should he consider the
claims Of the incompetent, be il
from ignorance, or dissipation
nor the pretences of the man who
loudly promises reforms and revO
lutions he cannot possibly bring
about. The man Of ability, honor
experience in public affairs, integ
rity, practical intelligence, and ar
unblemished reputation, is the ont
suitable for public Office. If yor
should find that such an one is no
seeking the place, see to it tina
the place seeks that man, or you
fail utterly in living up to thu
duties of an American citizen
Remember our state needs patri
Otic statesmen, not lean purset
Office seekers, whose only Objec
is gain and glory.
