The secret agents of Democracy
are planning to- elect Parker and
majority Of the House by the meth
DDS which that party employed many
times in former elections. Such
frauds as we're committed in New
York City in 1868, and in Brooklyn a
few years ago. Such as in Minneso-

was elected by fraudulent returns
from Pembina, very insignificant
settlement at that time. Similar
frauds have since been exposed at St.
Louis, Chicago, Cleveland and Cincin-
natl. The history Of the Democratic
party is crowded with frauds, and,
now, the conspirators, after their long
experience are prepared, with unlimit-
ed funds at their disposal, to out-dos
all former achievements mem

LYNCH LAW MUST GO.

Judge Thomas G.. Jones of the. Unit
cd States Court at Huntsville, Ala,
seems to be made of the right sort OF
stuff. Last Tuesday in opening the
court he delivered vigorous charge
to the grand jury with regard to the re-
cent lynching Of. Horace Naples, an
fro-American, and the firing by the
mob of the Jail in which were confined
federal prisoners. Judge Jones. said
in part:
IF you are fairly satisfied that the
mob would not have murdered Naples.
if he had been white man, then every
dictate Of humanity and justice de-
nlands that you return true bills
against the members of the mob.
"A conviction or acquittal in the
courts of Alabama for what these par
ties did is no bar to prosecution I'M
der the laws of the United States
Judge Jones arraigned the mob in
the severest terms and insisted that
every citizen. must set his face
against lynching for any crime, and
we heartily agree with him.

The Southern newspapers are pr

The Southern newspapers are print
ing long accounts, with flaming head
lines of every little race conflict, es-
pecially such as happen in the North
as though they were matters OF vital
Importance. They seem to think that
by this course they are contributing
nightly to the success of the Nation
al Democratic ticket. so much in fact
that they are excused from any other
contribution. They fail however to
accomplish a great deal for condl-
ton not a theory confronts the Dem
ocrats of the North. which is that the
electoral votes of Ohio, Indiana, Hill
nois and other Important states de-
pend largely upon the Afro American
vote in those states. So the North
ern Democrats cannot afford to echo
the ,creeds Of the South; and when
the South pipes to them they do not
dance. 1t seems to be an indicated
fact that the race issue which the
Tillman-Vardaman crowd are trying to
inject into the campaign will cut no
figure; for the bowls of the Southern
dervishes are dismissed with a shrug
Of contempt.

::pon evidence as sound and cOnclu-
sive as that which proves the con-
tinuance of our prosperity or the mat
ter of our loyalty to a restored and
reunited country" 5000
Evidence which is as conclusive. as
Johns loyalty is very doubtful. If
we are to judge by the rot he gets Off
on the editorial page of the Atlanta
News and in his open letters John is
an anarchist: and certainly not loyal
to the laws of his country.
Really it requires but small
amount of common sense to enable
one to decide that the reports of the
formation of these clubs for the pur-
pose of committing the crimes of ar
son and murder, are senseless and
malicious fakes invented by the
Southern descendants of Ananias.
Moreover, if the false reports were
intended to accomplish anything, they
are dismal failures, for they are con-
demned without benefit of clergy, by
the sensible class of Southern jour-
nails. .., =. &

Some of the members Of the Oak

letter in which he said: "Train your

on the side Of righteousness. Do not
punish your boy for what is merely
an overflow of animal spirit because
he is healthy and full of life" The
President is right. fro-American

COLOR QUESTION IN FAR EAST.


! Thus far, the color question has not
lit much figure in the war between
!. llssia and Japan, but it begins to
assume some prominence. For in
stance, the n. O. Picayune recently
said:
ut begins to be recognized that the
Japanese already dream of driving the
white people out of Asia, and are con-
fdent of their ability to lead such a
movement to success. and there is no
question that the overwhelming de-
feat Of the Russians, both on sea and
land, has e1erted a powerful effect in
disabusing other Asiatics of the idea
that the white nations are inyinciDle.
''The great success of the Japanese
has made them insufferably oyerbear-
ing and insOlent. They implicitly be-
lieve that their army and navy are in
vincible and give their views public
ity in a manner which is CALLING.
Their total disregard Of the truth,
their apparent inability to conceive
that there is anything sacred about a
promise or agreement, and the bar
barism which is so clearly apparent
through their veneer Of politeness and
civilization have irritated and alien
ated all who have come in contact
With them
1t must be confessed that the Japs
are irritating and alternating the Rus
slams in way that has very little
veneer of politeness about it; but the
Russians owe much of their misfor-
tune to their contempt for colored
race. They regarded Japan as "a lit
tie upstart' and made no adequate
preparations for such a struggle as they
are engaged in And thus the world
has received valuable lesson as to
the capabilities of a colored race.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1904.
JIM, CROW CHURCHMEN.

It is disheartening to the many good
men and women in this country who
are working with all their might for
the obliteration, of the color line. to
know that there is class of Afro
Americans ever ready for personal
reasons, to Jim Grow" the race.
The latest evidence of the existence
of this spirit is the proposal of GER

men to petition the Episcopal sConven-

separate sadioceses for Afro-Americans.

as follows

Hill ON lAWLESSNESS.

Ex-senator Hill, of New York, has
delivered a long screed upon what he
calls the lawlessness OF Roosevelt.
This is the first time that laWlessness
has disturbed the repose of the dis
tinguished senator. though, for years,
it has run riot all over the country.
He has known such to be the case;
but has never uttered one word in
condemnation, which cast a shade OF
suspicion over the zeal of this young
convert. The senator might supple
ment his able effort by a shoWlng-up
of the lawlessness of President Jetfer-
son in acquiring the Louisiana Pur-
chase. 1t would amount to fully as
much as his lamentation over the ac-
ouisition of the Panama canal.

Col. John S. Mosby OF confederate
guerrilla fame says that the. talk OF
forcing social equality of the races is
all nonsense. Nobody wants to do
such a thing and nobody can do it.
Social intercourse rests on sympathy
in taste and mutual consent. That
law OF nature is the foundation OF So
ciety, and regulates not only the con-
duct of men but of all animals. There
is Just as marked a division between
different classes of white people, as
between white people and Afro-Amer-
icans." There are other Southerners
who see this thing as Col. Mosby sees
it. but they are afraid to talk out.

Roosevelt Paid Beautiful Tribute tx
Afro-American Soldiers. ;:
During his trip to the West in 1908
President Roosevelt visited Spring
field, Ill. On June 4. after a short
parade, the President and visitors were
taken to the Lincoln monument and
stood uncovered where the remains OF
Lincoln lie. Acting as special guards
on this occasion was a company OF
Afro-American troops. After inspect
ing the monument the President was
called on for a few words and in re-
