A SEVERE TEST.

The Baltimore Sun says; LET
a million negroes be so distribu-
ted around in the towns of Mass
achusetts as to constitute in
about half of them a majority of
the population. Give them the
right to vote without waiting for
them to learn to read their bal
lots; open the door of hope to
them; put them in public office;
let them have charge of public
affairs in proportion to their
numerical preponderance; give
social equality; let them swarm
on the street and railroad cars
and IN the hotels and restaurants:
let them levy and disburse taxes,
although they have no property;
let them take charge of the public
schools, although they cannot
read-in short, let them do in
Massachusetts just as Massachu-
sets wants them to do in the
South. And then let us see
what our New England friends
will think of race prejudice

''rnEY NEED EDUCATING. -

The article in Tuesdays copy
of the Enterprise, under the a.
bove head, is very interesting to
us, inasmuch as the town referred
toisin highly civilized communi-
tyof our native state, as we were
reared within twenty-five miles
of the place and, if we mistake
not, we were for time a fellow
pastor in the same conference as
the honorable gentleman who
made the memorial address
spoken of. AS we glance over
this article again we cannot for
bear INDUCING in reverie a few
short minutes. Again we are a
lad of only few summers, wad-
ing in Michigan mud in copper
toed, red top boots-Republican
boots-and reading from a Re-
publican primer.
The birds sing of protection,
the sheep b1eat as best they can
their plaudits in praise of high
tariff, the old turkey gobbles
Justify all the season through for
abolition and even on the eve be-
fore Thanksgiving Day, inaugu-
rated by our Republican forefath-
ers, he makes his last parade
with every one of his Union feath-
ers spread; at eventide the call
we hear is not the "Whip-poor-
WILL" but "Whip-the-Rebs"
"Whip-the-Rebs," and in the
morning we are up to greet the
sun that everywhere gives freely
to us his life-giving Republican
rays. Once again-but stop-a
quarter of a century is gone,
nine years have past since we
met the first old Rebel" soldier
and to our establishment we 1ov-
ed him.
Long years have gone since we
learned that Republican does not
mean all that is pure and holy
and Democratic does not stand
for all that is mean and con.
temptible.
Moreover we dare affirm that
we sincerely doubt that Uncle
Toms Cabin" was the child of
inspiration, and furthermore we
are glad that the Thomas Dix
ons and Tom Watsons are in the
land of the living.
Time brings great changes
and with other good things, edu-
cation, development and fratern-
ity. All men are brothers and
of the great brotherhood of hui
mainly.
The world moves on, and
we are happy that our lot is cast
in this south land where skiesare
kindly, breezes balmy,and where
Gods common people are noble,
loyal Americans.

And now a hot discussion is

DR.. Broughton endeavors tc
point out some grave wrongs
which he afirms are to be found
in the faculty of that great insti.

clares the accusations to be un-

we draw from the unfortunate

absolutely nothing about it, that
Gods ways are past finding out,
and that in His own good time He
will make it plain.
The Atlanta Constitution, in
commenting upon the able adj
dress delivered by Congressman
Griggs, at the Commencement
exercises of the Georgia School
of Technology, says, in part:
The negro is here. That is a
fact. He will not go away from
us en- masse of his own accord
He has had twenty-eight years
of opportunity and means to dc
so and but a small number have
gone. This is another fact
There is nc demand or DISPOSE.
tloH with one out of fifty of them
to go any where out of the South,
and that has been made manifest
by their refusal to popu1arize
among themselves any of the
florid emigration schemes that
have been presented to them
notably Bishop Turner's scheme.
That is third and essential fac t.
On the other hand it is held by
many that the South cannot af-
ford to see them go out from it in
a general exodus-that they are
the corpus operandi of our agri-
culturaland domestic population;
that any general spirit of unrest
among them will do more harm
to southern production in year
than any epidemic of strikes has
ever inflicted on the industries
and prosperity of the Nor tn.
They hold that it would mean the
desertlon of our cotton and corn
fields, the impoverishment of our
farmers and the loss of the capt.
tai and crops on which the South
POUNDS the structure Of her indus
tries and commerce.
Judge Griggs believes the ed
ucated negro is a menace as a
competitor in the labor field.
But the negro will be educated,
weather the Southern states and
people do the work or not. For us
to declare against his educ alton
is but to stimulate others to the
duty and to perform it by men,
women and means already too we'll
known too obnoxious and to in
duce repetition of that history.
Our new constitutions in the south
offer the ballot to him as a prem
ium for his zeal to educate HIM
self and to separate the school
funds according to race payments
Of taxes would set on fire the en-
thusiasm of every thoughtful ne
gro in the South 10 sacrifice for
The educati on of his children.
Therefore, as we see the
situation dealt with by Judge
Griggs, he himself has furnished
the solution in his peroration:
Educate! educated! educate!!!"
Let there be more education and
better education for the people of
he South. Our states should be
more than willing to sacrifice to
he limit in this behalf. If, given
he same conditions, the educa-
ed white man fails to prosper it
will not be because of the educat-
ID Negroes com petition with him
out for some other reason. We
iced no betterreasons for urging
educational progress in the South

WALTER JACKSON
IS LAID TO REST
BURIED AT EXPENSE OF THE COUN-
TY AND HAMILTON INCL
DENT is CLOSED.
INQUEST REVEALS NOTHING
Remarkable Lack OF Information Con
cernine Death OF the Murderer
: But Everybody Is Smiling.

=, Hamilton, Oct I5.-The body OF Walter
Jackson, the victim OF Tuesday nights
lyichng, was buried by the county today
and the incident is probably closed as the
coroners inquest revealed nothing not
already told in these dispatches.
Jacksons father came up from Mssoula
yesterday but refused to take the body and
bury it. You fellows killed him and you
eaK bury him." said the old man. He
received very little sympathy here.
Jacksons parents are very bitter against
the people OF this section, claiming that
they cruelty murdered their son. The old
folks hoped that their son would secure
a dew trial and would then be acquitted.
Up TO the time Jackson's body was
buricu about everybody in the valley took
d look at the remains. II there were any
who criticise the action OF the mob in
taking the law in its hands, they are
keeping still. In fact it is an open secret
that about every one who came down town
yesterday morning after the lynching wore
a smile which can be taken as tacit en-
dorsement Of the mobs action.
The relic hunters have not been wanting
4 to complete the sensational features OF
the affair. The rope that jerkcd Jack
distributed among those desiring a grue-
some reminder Of the affair
The inquest conducted by the coroner
revealed nothing There was lamentablc
lack OF information about the lynching
and the incident has probably been closed.
DR.. Dunchen told the coroncr's jury that
he examined the body Of Jackson after
il had been cut down. There was no
doubt about his being dead John
Stephens, the jailer, said he refused to
open the Jail doors when the mob first
called, but he changed his mind under
show Of force and threats of using
dynamite.
He tried to persuade the mob to let
the law take its course, he said but was
swept aside.
Sheriff Pond said there was no guard
over Jackson because the county COM
missioners refused to stand the extra ex-
pense after the appeal had been taken.
He knew nothing Of any threats against
Jackson until he was awakened and told
he had been hanged.

London, Oct. Is.-"Japan's view" says
the Morning Post, discussing the situation,
"is that Corca is OF vital interest to her,
but that Manchura is not, and she is not
inclined to pull the chestnuts out of the
fire for Great Britain and the United
States by issuing an ultimatum, or taking
action with regard to Manchuria except
in cooperation with the other powers,
whose interests are equally involved.
"It is believed that neither power de-
sired war, not only OIL account of the
financial difficulties, but because of the
doubt as to what course China would take
in such war;"
