BEN. TlLLMAN,s VIEW.

Senator Ben. Tillman writes "A letter
to the Editor OF the National Magazine
in which he says III the door Of hope
is kept open for the negroes Il
means that Il must be shut on
the whites There Is more OF H.,
but that Is sufficient to show the
spirit OF the whole. As n doctrine, it
lacks philosophy and morality. II not
only shuts the door on the negro az he
is, but leaves him no motive FOR aspir-
ing to better things II applies the
doctrine of the survival Of the httest
with a vengeance. and assumes that
the color Of n mans skin must always
remain the tost Of his rights and OPP
portunities.
But Notwithstanding Senator TIL
mans views. the people OF this country
have reached a different conclusion.
In the South vast sums are being ap-
propriatod for the maintenance Of
negro schools. and courts are coming
to protect the rights Of the black man
just as those OF other men are pro-
tected. What means this twaddle about
shutting the door on one race or the
other? The door Of opportunity in
America Is so wide that all races and
creeds may march through. side by
side without interference. II is good
American doctrine that IL the door OF
hope Is smut on any man he shuts 1t
himself, and It will not be done to any
great extent nor permanently by class
legislation.
How can the white race be true 10
itself unless Il is just to the race that
IS obliged to work out its destiny
among us? The man who abuses a
dog is untrue to himself, and should
the white race now deny to the negro
the right TO struggle upward. the right
to pull himself out of the slough OF ig-
norance the right to aspire TO higher
things it would degrade itself TO a
plane from which the colored man is
seeking to rise.

A coineidence.

From the New York Tribune.
Reports Of attacks on jews in Russian
towns have been SO numerous Of late that
they fail to excite much comment, and the
massacre OF women and children by Rus
sian mobs is classed among the ordinary
occurrences Of the day. a few days ago a
pathoic letter was received IN this city
from Russia from the wife of a resident
Of the East Side. The writer gave some
revolving details of THE Gomel horror
but the letter was not finished by the un-
fortunate woman who began it. The task
dcvoived upon the daughter, because
since her mother had written she also
had fallen a victim. yesterday" she
wrote. mother was sound and healthy.
Today she lies on her bed wounded, hard
ly drawing her breath. Her injuries are
fatal and none Of us escaped INJURY. We
are in a terrible condition. Have mercy
on us and save u.s."
In reading this pitful appeal II is a
source of comfort to the people Of this
country TO know thar the CHASTITY scenes
by which it was evoked were enacted IN
a far away land. and THAT there Is no
sympathy among Americans wtbh the
spirit OF higotry which makes itself mani
fest In murder The fact however. that
