Commenting on the result of the re-
cent primary election in Mississippi
which turned on giving to the negro
schools only the taxes paid by the
negroes, the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, one of the most influential OF
the southern newspapers says;
THE action of the people of Missis-
sippi in the conflict Just ended means
more than a mere division OF the
school fund, which would count for
little If carried into effect. IL means
that Mississippi has taken another de-
termined stand for the eftacement OF
the colored man as a political factor.
Around this nucleus thus formed may
vet cluster that growing desire on the
mart of many to repair the great
wrong done and correct the evil com
mitted in elevating a race Just emerged
from slavery to the dizzy helghts OF
full American citizenship. Mlssls-
sippi has struck the first decisive blow
at those ugly children OF hate and sec
tional rancOr, those amendments 70
the federal Constitution which degrade
American citizenship and disgrace
American civilization Other states
are sure to follow in the near future,
but Mississippi will have the honor OF
the assault"
A striking contrast to this is fur
nished in the annual meeting Of the
Southern Negro Business League re-
Gently held in Nashville, Tenn. Here
assembled in convention some three
hundred of the business men and a few
women of the colored population OF
the south. The state officials rendered
the convention the use of the hall OF
the House OF Representatives in the
State capitol, and recent Democratic
candidate for mayor of the city well
coined the members in the name of the
city aud encouraged them in their
laudable enterprise, in which Booker
Y. Washington is chief mover
Can there be any doubt whatever
which of these views will eventually
prevail in the South and indeed all
over the country? 1t is only ques-
ton of time, though the time may be
very, very long.

SHALL WE DISPUTE
The Opinions of Scores of
Our Fellow Citizeus.

Residents of Honolulu, like other
American citizens. in making an in
vestment want to be sure of getting the
worth of their money. They want to
know all the why's and wherefores, and
in a direct ratio to the value of the in
vestment they burrow and ferret until
satisfied with the collateral. Take an
instance in the realm of proprietary
articles. If We know OF a friend who
has been cured we have some faith in
the preparation; if we know Of two or
three our faith increases. If the cures
reach scores all well known citizens,
anyone who still maintains that there
is nothing beyond ordinary merit in
the said preparation. can safely be left
to the care of his fellow taxpayers. If
he wishes to pick a Quarrel with them
on the question of their judgment and
veracity, he has ample opportunity in
Honolulu to do so. Begin with this
case.
Mr.. H. H. Smythe, of Inter-Island
S. S. Co., this city, writes to tell us
that he was afflicted with lame back
for a number of years. Assembling the
cause of this to the kidneys and hear
ing about Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills, got some of them at the Hollis
ter Drug Co.'s store. They relieved me
so much that I am perfectly satisfied
with the result of having taken them,
and can recommend the pills to others,
suffering from backache."
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
becoming popular in Honolulu because
they are always endorsed by Honolulu
people.

in forming the great envoy of destruc-
