KANSAS LYNCHFRS.

A negro, Montgomery Cooley. was
lyncled at Pittsburg, Kas., on Christ
mas day by a mob of white men. There
is nothing singular in a negro having
been lynched. but the Kansas lynchers
hanged an innocent man. 1t has been
discovered that the policeman killed was
shot by Joe Cooley, a. brother Of the
dead negro. Joe escaped during the
lynching of his brother who pleaded for
his life, for little time in which to
prove that he was not guilty, but the
Kansas lytchers who howled fer his life
were deaf to all his entreaties, and this
loo in a State which has always been
with the foremost in declarations of love
for the negro; State where i'll many
instances. the negro is socially on a level
with the white man. The negro, if guilty.
should not have been mobbed. If ne
gro had killed policeman in Shreve-
port he would have been arrested, jailed.
tried fairly and hanged legally. But if
the negro had been guilty of an assault
upon white woman, he would have
been hanged beyond all restraint of the
legal authorities. This is the difference
in the treatment of negroes i'll Louis
lana and in Kansas or other State of the
North where canting hypocrites are al
ways ready with their denunciations OF
the South. The Kansas lynchers, as the
Indiana lynchers and others of the
bowling. sanctimonious, two faced
skutiks, the strenuous of the North who
would read chapter on morals TO the
people of the South who will protect
their homes mad their civilization re-
CARELESS of the cants of the l1owlers, are
advised to direct their reforms to their
own people, who wantonly drive from
their midst the negro who may have III
CURED their displeasure and lynch the
negro who is innocent of crime.
Will this incident arouse Massachu-
sets and Maine and the other states Of
the North to a protest of indignation OF
will their wrath be reserved for furious
belehing when negro may be hanget
in the South for having outraged q
woman. 1t is beginning to dawn on civ,
ilized communities that nissionarie:

BOWEN FULLY ADVISED
Our Minister Notified Of Result of
Acceptance of Tribunal.
WAITING on CASTRO,
1t Now Seems Probable That United
States Representative ut Ca
racas VIII BE at Washing
ton on Commission.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The Vene
zuelan negotiations now wait upon
President Castro. Minister Bowen has
been fully advised by the state de-
partment of the result of its exchanges
with the foreign offices at London, Ber-
lin and Rome. and he has been charg.
ed to take the case in hand himself
and arrange the details of the protocol
which will precede the submission of
the foreign claims to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal. in SO doing
Mr.. Bowen is acting not as United
States minister, bat as Venezuelas
representative. The officials here wish
it to be distinctly understood that their
functions ceased so far as the Vene-
Zuelan difficulty was concerned when
they brought the parties to the contro-
versy together.
By the latest Venezuelan advices 1t
Is noted that President Castro Is ex-
pected at Caracas Monday, and it is
felt that he will not consume much
time in making up his mind to a spe-
cial proposal held out to him through
Minister Bowen by the allied powers.
1t now seems probable that Minister
Bowen will come to Washington as
Venezuelan representative on the com.
mission which will draw up the proto
col providing for the submission Of
the claims of the powers to The Hague
tribunal. 1t has been decided that he
also may represent Venezuela not
withstanding the fact that he is a.
present charged with the interests of
Great Britain, Germany, Italy and 9TH

soon as he leaves Venezuela this charge

THE GANkl,E ! " AN''
In last Sundays Caucasian we desired

nuvation of the Yankee twang III the
public schools Of Shreveport, \ copy OF
the Caucasian containing the query was
addressed to several persons who per
haps could have enlightened the public,
but there has been no answer whatever.
1t is sometimes believed best, when 1t
is desired to avoid controversy or to
cvadc a question or an issue to treat
with silence and Indifference the query
nropounded. but this is a serious propo-
sition which will not be kept silent or
sidctracked, nor will ii be evaded. We
rcitcratc the query: Who is responsible
for the introduction of the Yankee
twang in the public schools of Shreve-
port:
If it was suggested as a fad ii IS indie
fcnsbile. If it was intended to supplant
the musical rythm of the Southern
mans pronunciation and articulation OF
plain English words. failure is stamped
on the effort.
1t is not possible to defend it on any
reasonable ground. The "up-to-date'
articulation and pronunciation of Eng
lish words with the Yankee twang as
an additional contribution to an affected
style of speech is ridiculous. Why should
Southern teachers, educators of the
girls and boys of Southern men. borrow
any Yankee twang innovation when
there is so much beauty and musical ca
dencc in the articulation and the pro-
nunciation of English words-the Eng
lish language as it has been spoken by
the greatest men of the South and as
Southern men propose to speak it.
