zeal intolerance and persecution
thousands of men who are Democrats
would have been Republicans. and
with that mistaken notion appeals
were made to such supposed Demo-
Gratis to join the Republican party
now that the Democratic party has
made it impossible for the Republicans
to again the debauch the State. "Now
that you have tied our hands so that
we cannot utterly destroy good gov

That is the Republican argument as

Exactly. All this talk about "polit-

men who are Republicans at heart

bad politics. The Recorder truly says
that "ninety-nine in q hundred men in

amuse themselves by marshalltng testi
mony and engaging in interminable

have any quarrel with them so long as
the discussions are in good nature and

of all concerned. 1t is pitiful to think
of men who marched and fought to-
gether forty years ago holding aloof
from each other in their maturity and
age over old controversy which never
can nor will be determined. We join

hope that the Lynchburg veterans will
go to Appomattox in full force and in

offer the North Carolina veterans a
royal welcome, leaving the Bethel and
Gettysburg and AppomattOX issues to
be debated indefinitely and at leisure
hereafter. An attitude of exclusive
ness, an assumption of superiority, an
Impotence of the claims, virtues and
high qualities of the people of other
States, invite hostility and resentment.

they must inevitably do us harm,
and If accompanied by failure to keep
pace with the procession of the States,
will bring US contempt. We must get
into our heads that man born in
Vermont, Michigan, Utah, Arkansas,
North Carolina, Russia, Prussia or
anywhere else may be just as good
and valuable a man as anybody born
in Virginia, that other people besides
ourselves have done great things, that
many other people are forging ahead
of us and that virtue, valor strength
and all the qualities that make great
ness are born and flourish in many
places outside OF Virginia.

POLITICAL FREEDOM IN NORTH
CAROLINA.


There have been many comments on
the Greensboro Blanket of the Pie
Brigade, but it remained for the Bib
lical Recorder to characterize it as
"a festal celebration by the Republi-
cans of the victory of the Democrats
in 1900-the amendment campaign-
the first time in history that one party
has joyously celebrated the triumph
of another" 1t says 1.-The banqueters
were not without cause" for the key
note of the banquet is to be found in
the words of its originators. the toast
master who said: Nov that the race
question is settled let us have political
freedom in North Carolina" With
that as a text. the Biblical Recorder
devotes two columns to a thoughtful
discu sion oil Political Freedom in
North Carolina" 1t points out that
there has been much of bitterness and
intensity of party feeling which should
be replaced by moderation and "by
appeals to reason rather than pas
sion.
The suggestion of Spencer Black
burn that "the race question" is set
tied is denied by the Recorder for it
truly says:
I'm the first place the race question
is not settled. Would to heaven it
were. But no one can indulge the de-
fusion that the elimination of the ne
gro from the suffrage on a constantly
diminishing ground settles the race
question. At most we have a truce to
h. 90,
hope that it will make for settlement
of the vexed problem. For twenty
years certainly, perhaps for thirty. we
shall not be seriously haraSsed by the
black vote; but after that we shall
have the black vote in sufficient pro-
portions to excite great concern"
In 1876 Vance and Ransom and
their distinguished fellow Democrats
settled the race question" by saving
the Eastern counties from destructive
rule and kept the State in good hands
until 1894. Simmons and Aycock and
their co-workers settled the race
question" in 1900 when they secured
the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment to the Constitution. The 1876
settlement saved the State from bad
government eighteen years. The 1900
settlement will probably save the State
again for a like term of years, or
longer But there is, and in the ma
ture of things. there cannot be any
permanent settlement of the race
question in the South in the sense to
which Mr.. Blackburn refers. The
Democrats in the face of the violent
opposition of the Republican party
eliminated the illiterate negro voters.
How long will that elimination stand ?
No mortal can tell. Only one thing
is certain: the success of the Repub-
lican party would reopen the ''set-
tied question" and restore all the agi-
tation and ills that cursed the State
from 1894 to 1900. The only safe and
sensible course to pursue. on the part
of those who do not wish to have
that question to again become acute, is
to keep out of power the party that
gave the ballot to every negro and
fought to the last ditch the amend
ment to the Constitution that takes
it away from the unprepared negro
voter who used it for his own and the
States undoing.
