A NEWsPAPER MEMORY.

Sometimes a name will bring back to an old newspaper man memories of the past which might otherwise have remain has just been added The Muskogee Demo- crat, published at Muskogee. Indian Ter ritory. It is a-real Democratic newspa- per. believing in white supremacy. as the following shows:
 Col Pliny Soper says we are Democrats because we are ignorant His remedy Is a little red school house on every hill top. A red school house in Kansas means a mixed school, where white and negro children sit on the same bench and use Pierian spring. Yes, that Is the issue-a red school house with an amalgamation of races Are the people of the Territory prepared for the radical change. Negro suffrage-mixed schools. are a savory feast presented by Colonel Soper to the white men of Muskogee. Boys, vote 'er straight and preserve the integrity of the Anglo-Saxon element.
 But the name of the paper brings to mind another ''Muskogee Democrat" started in Columbus, Ga.. almost three score years ago by pr. L. F. W. Andrews, forceful interesting writer. who took a prominent position among newspaper men and made things lively in Georgia journalism. He was once connected with a paper In Montgomery. He had some thing of | J. Hooper's style, and had few superiors at repartee and sarcasm. The editor who crossed blades with him rarely had anything to feel proud of when he was done.
 After some years in Columbus. Dr. Andrews disposed of his paper and re- moved to Macon. where he started ''The Georgia Citizen.'' When the Know Noth- ing, or American, Party started he joined in with his usual vim and energy, and was a faithful advocate of its political principles until about 1856. The Presiden- tial tickets of that year. when his Party nominated Fillmore and Donelson and the Democrats nominated Buchanan and Breckinrldge sickened him. He spoke of the two Vice-Presidential nominees as an eagle compared to a mousing owl, and de clared: Thank God. Georgia is not bound to the housing owl and never will be- and he was correct. In that cam paign he was as earnest for the Demo- cratic ticket as he had ever been for any. We do not now remember when he died, but have q very pleasant recol- lection of his style and forcefulness.
 Thus it is that the name of news paper, just started in far-off Indian Ter ritory, brings up a flood of memories con nected with Georgia and Georgia news papers and writers of the long ago. not one of whom Is yet in the land of the living, so far as we know.

 It would be the first time in the history of our government that candidate at- tempted to purchase the nomination Tor the Presidency. His only argument and qualincation is money. Al,
 Look at the men trying to save the Ala hama Democracy. Is 1t Morgan, Pettus. Bankhead. Bowie. Taylor, Clayton. Rich ardson. Burnett, Wiley, Underwood. Jelks, Clarke, Knox and such men? sts1i N1i 1t Is J. Tom Henln ., ana rUeiyo Jess tneir commission to save the Democracy! Where are their credentials? What IS tneir method of campaign? It Is simply Dy attempting to arouse prejudice against the gold standard DemocTats of Alabama Dy alleging that they favor the nomina- ton of Grover Cleveland for President. That great patriot and Democrat has an nounced that he Is not candidate and every intelligent man in the United States knows that hc means what he says, and the Heart conglomeration knows it. Some of tho gold standard Democrats did repudiate Bryanism and supported ,Palmer and Buckner, but they have long since returned to the party and done their full duty 70 1t. Most Of them voted for Bryan In the last election and look at their records in all subse-- quent elections and in the Constitutional Convention and ratification of the consti- tuition.
 There are no truer nor better Demo- crats in the State and for such men as He1in and Stallings to malign and tra- duce then in order to give Hearst deI- egation deserves the severest condemna- tiOn.
 The gold standard Democrats are in fl- vor of unity and harmony in the party, the adoption of a platform on which all Democrats can unite and the nomination of the best and most available candi 'a'e to defeat the South's deadliest political enemy. Theodore Roosevelt.
 Their only motive is the success of the Democratic party and they do not think that this can be accomplished by the of Hearst.
 The united. patriotic Democracy of Ala hama should over whelmingly defeat this attempt of the Hearst propa gandsts to create divisions and dissensions in the party and nominate q man who would be defeated. x. March 2S. 1904.

HOW CAN HEP

Referring to the Presidents pledge to Booker Washington that if he Is elected he intends to put stop to lynchng, The Chattanooga Times says:
 If the President did say 1t. and we trust that he did, all good citizens will wish him success. If there is one blight upon this country, one savage relic of barbar- ism that mars our civilization it Is the lynching evil. The States have shown that they cant or will not stop 1t; now let the National Government try its hand; its got to be stopped.
 The Times is generally right on most public questions. and we are generally in accord with it, but We dissent from the above, not only for what 1t says, but for the possibilities contained in the sugges- tion. The Advertiser has so often and su plainly expressed its position on lynching that we hardly think 1t necessary to say that We agree with The Times in saying that the practice Is a blight upon the country That is true indictment
 But does The Times stop to think of what would be the result if such a Presl- dent as Roosevelt should get the idea into his head that he may use the powers and
 
 or punish lynching. or any other crime where the Government itself is not cor- cerned? There are certain offences against the laws, the authority and tho property Of the United States for which the Constitution and the Federal statutes provide a remedy, but lynching is not one of them.
 Will some one tell us just how the Pres ident can go about stopping what We all admit is great evil? Has he not the same right to stop murder, theft, arson. or other crimes? Lynching Is a crime against the laws of the various States. just as murder or robbery is, and we can't see where the President can find authority for interfering. If he can do So to punish one crime. he can do so In any other case. and the States and State | courts may as well go out of business.

THE PosToFF1CE BILL.
Increase of About $1,ooo,ooo Made
 hv the SenatA.

Washington, March 29.-After two days consideration of the postoffice appropria- tion bill, the Senate committee reported it tonight and it will be taken up in the Senate tomorrow.
 The bill reported does not include all the amendments made by the Senate committee on account of the late ses- sion held in order to complete the meas ure. dummy bill" was reported while the clerks prepared the measure for the public printer. The bill will be printed tonight.
 On account of its incomplete state the exact amount of the increase made can not be given, though it Is said the bill will carry not more than $1.OCOOOO over the bill as passed by the House, except for an emergency measure incorporated in the bill. The House bill provides for the rental of the Pennsylvania Railroad site in New York city for postoffice pur- poses, but the committee decided that 1t would be better business policy to buy the site. Therefore an appropriation of $c, 100000 Is made for that. purpose.

"A r.1rrr.r SENSE y

Newspaper men should be able to stand a great deal, but We sometimes read things that almost make us sick. For example, We find the following in The New Haven Register:
 The South is wondering why Northern immigration does not chose to go to Dixie land rather. than face the long journey to the West little sense is Altering down through the Southern press on this matter however, as is seen from the fol- lowing quotation from The Wilmington (Del) News: AS long as We lynch in the South, and furthermore draw our guns and shoot each other to death o:p the streets. we are wasting time estab- fishing immigration bureaus People will he deterred from immigrating to a State where big murder record is made year In and year out.
 The Register decides that "a little sensa is Altering down through the Southern press on this matter" because d Whining ton paper taetly admits that all the rot written and spoken against the South is true. If immigrants refuse to go where crimes are committed, where will they stop? In Massachusetts, where school | houses are burned down to keep colored children out? In Connecticut where ] strikers murder citizens in cold blood under the noses of the authorities? Will they go to Ohio, where negroes are not only !ynched but a whole community of them attacked and maltreated because of their color? Will they go to Ininols where negroes arc driven out because they want work? Win The Register point out some spot in the North, the East or ted and ID crimes allowed? It occurs to us that if little more sense would filter through some of the Northern press, il would be a material gain.

 There is no necessity for Mississippi or any other Southern State being in d great hurry about expressing preferences for Presidential candidates, but 1t would be well enough to keep an eye on the distinguished statesman from this State, whose great ability and eminent fitness for the high office with which his name has been connected Is universally recog- nlzed. There Is not man in either btanch of Congress who commands to q greater degree the confidence of Demo- crats and Republicans alike than John s Williams and if delegates to the Ma tional Convention are to be burdened with instructions they should be instructed to cast the vote of this State for him.

Little Rock, Ark.
