Senator Carmack' friends

Senator Carmack's friends in
Tennessee announce that he Will
introduce in the next congress q
bill repeating the fifteenth amend.
ment to the federal constitution.
He will thus seek to bring live
question to the point where il may
be permanently settled. Mr. Car
mack will contend that the safest
and surest way to settle the negro
question is TO eliminate the negro
from politics and finally to sepa-
rate the two races. There can be
no doubt that Mr. Carmack's bill
viii be widely discussed and he
Will not be alone in its support.
Congressman and senators from
the south, where the negro vote
has been a bone Of contention for
the past forty years, will undoubt.
eddy favor some such method OF
settling the matter for al. time to
come.-Arkansas Democrat.

The time IS approaching, says
the Arkansas Democrat, when there
will be & strong demand for labor
in The cotton fields. Good wages
can be earned by anyone disposed
to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity. There will be no ex-
case for tramps and those who will
not work for a living should be
forced to do so. Idle negroes who
insist on hanging around the cities
and towns and living eff those who
work should be forced to the fields
to earn an honest dollar. There
are scores Of those idle persons on
the streets every day. The police
should arrest them for vagrancy
and thus compel them to worl,
when there is such a magnifice nj
opportunity.

Senator Tillman has been up north
discussing the negro and the mob ques
ton. and the Charl eston News Courier
says it wishes the Senator would stay
at home and keep his mouth shut, No
doubt the Senator wishes the same OF
the News Courier. So honors are easy
on that score. But the Senator has the
best of the argument in this: He was
not making himself offensive" as the
News Courier suggests, by telling the
northern people what they ought to do
He was simply telling them in plain,
blunt language what the people of the
South were doing; and he wound up
in his rather rough way, by telling those
people Of the north, "if you don't like
it''-that is, don't like what we are
doing down south-"you can lump it,"
The News Courier does not think their
Senator should have said that; but the
truth is, Senator Tillman expressed the
sentiment of the south when he said,
"if you people of the north do not like
the way we people of the south are
managing our own affairs, you can
lump it,"

For the SAKE of the good name OF the
State, Governor Frazier ought to offer
a large reward for the arrest and con-
y,ction of the white cappers who,
without cause or provocation, wan
touly murdered two inotfensive negroes
at their home near Lewisburg. The
Governor owes 1t not only to the good
name of the State, but to the good
people of the state, to protect the m
from such inhuman hrutes as these,
and the reward offered should be
large enough to insure their hanging.
