When Rooaevelt and his hench-
men Payne and Ciarkson be
thought themselves that there was
| still another campaign in the
bloody shirt and haunted it to the
breeze with the Booker Washing
ton incident at the White House
as cue" they soTed the wind
and from it has sprung up whirI-
wind of the most horrible growth of
Iawlessness, murder. lynchings and
Generalization generally that the
country has ever experienced. The
negro has become inflated with
undue and exalted notions of his
own importance and his rights
in some quarters intolerably in
solent, offensive and criminal. and
with the license implicitly granted
by the loathsome Accident that
was never elected President by the
people, il turning the whole coun-
try into a scene of pandemonium
and bloodshed Like many other
ventures in as many other chan
nels, the bloody shirt" was chanc-
eel once too often. and the wave of
riots and lynchings that is now
leaving its horrid trail over the
country, North, South. East and
West, is but the logical sequence
of Roosevelt, Clarkson and Payne's
Inauguration of a campaign of
that sort to secure Roosevelt's nom
ination to the presidency. They
have Evansville, Wilmington, Dan
vile, BelleviIle and other places
in their own territory of sanctifed
ermine and immaculate morals
dangling as unwelcome trophies to
their belts as evidences of their
error and criminal audacity. with
the probability of similar horrors
TO follow. President Roosevelt has
been the immediate cause of the
death of scores of. negroes and
many white men, who have been
sacrificed to his hatred of the South
and his inordinate greed and am
bition for continued power.

Another Northern Outrage.

Another outrage upon the negro.
called lynching. was perpetrated
Saturday at Danville, Illinois.
about 30 miles from Chicago. pre-
cipitated by the usual oifense Of a
lustfuI black brute. The victim
was a farmers wife, and the news
was hardly announced before q
mob of the farmers of the neigh
borhood was formed. but the fiend
had been arrested and jailed lit

man was shot and killed by ne

The Jail was attacked by the riot
ers and IN attempt made to batter
down the doors. This was. resisted
by the sheriff and deputies who
fired into the attacking party, kill
ing one man and wounding twen-
ty-two others.
The sheriff called on the Gov
ernor for troops, who dispatched
four companies of the national
guard to the scene who arc now
on duty patrolling the city and
guarding the Jail, and further ont
break is improbable.
The negroes involved in this af-
fair are found TO have been among
those driven out from Evansville.
Indiana, few weeks ago, and this
event is nothing more or less than
renewal of the disturbances at
that place.
The day is not far distant when
riots and lynchings will be far
more frequent in the Northern
States than they have ever been in
the South, for the negro must have
his rights" and the Northern
people are becoming determined
that he shall not live among them
at all.

Looking South for Protection

At a session of the National In

week, and attended by delegates
from thirty-four states, the follow

Since it is fact the Yankees
in the North have become our
enemies and by recent lynchings.
he it resolved. That this council
ask all of the fleeing negroes of the
North who are now being chased
by Narthern mobs to return to the
South for protection. We further
indorse the Southern papers in
exposing the present outrages.
Has il come to this? The ne
groes looking to the South for pro-
lection?
The South will always afford
ample protection and employment
to the industrious, lawabiding
negro, and it is the only place in
the world where he will be recog-
nized to that extent, but must be
excused from accepting the return
of the worthless. vicious tramps of
the race that are forced to flee
from Northern communities
That class is not desired here in
the South any more than where
they are and will receive no better

Some of the cotton mills in the

of two or three weeks, ostensibly
on account of the high price of
cotton. The vacation will be util-
lied To overhaul machinery and

the closing will avert the more
serious trouble that might follow
an effort to cut wages. The mills
in the meantime might a5 well

ations next year are likely to be-
made on twelve cent cotton.

Men Deny Coal Famine.

R.. s. Mercur, a district superintendent
Of the Lehigh Valley colliery in tho
Mahanoy and Shamokin district, said the
men In bis collleries worked on an average
about seven hours a day. The miners did
not produce any more coal as a result Of
Mr.. Mitchell's hurry up order" They
claimed there was no coal shortage, he
said, and that It was a scheme OF the op.
orators to show that the men were earning
larger wages.
Judge Gray remarked that those miners
should 20 to Wilmington and see poor peo-
pie standing around waiting to buy a bucket
Of coal at II and IS cents a bushel.
Mr.. Darrow asked witness Why he did
not work two shifts and he replied that he
could not get men to cut enough coal to
keep the breakers going ten hours a day,
If the union would furnish men he would
put all Of them to work.
Mr.. Mercur said the company contracted
with a man to build a boiler house for
Packer ~coIliery No. 5 during the strike. The
strikers refused to permit hat to be done;
they would not permit material to. be taken
from the railroad cars, Finally the con-
tractor wrote to District President Fahey
asking permission to erect the boiler house
and the labor leader replied;
On ACCOUNT OF, GAlStiiB COnulllOU5 Il cam
not grant you the permission, which, as /
understand from your letter, you request.
The letter further stated that Mr.. Fahey
was willing to, meet him n discuss tho
matter.
Judge Gray sarcastically asked why wit
ness did not go with due submission to
see Mr.. Fahey and appeal for permission
to build the boiler house. HE might have
softeped a little" added the commissioner
Mr.. Darrow protested hat the matter
should not go further until Mr.. Fahey was
present. The chairman said he did not like

Fahey. He was not educated up to using Il
in the way Mr.. Fahey had employed It. HI

Mr.. Mercur closed his direct examination

There would be trouble, he added, as

The contract miners employed by his
