subject, John Kline, or Schidlofski,
a Russian, who killed his wife on
the Golf Links at Belmont, Mass,
not many days since. IL is claimed
in this editorial that the Car of Rus

act of this man-that the man is ig-
norant because the rules OF this mon
arch did not permit him to become
intelligent by the means of a school
education--that now the world
should teach the Gear. so that this
Sovereign may teach his people
But why not bring this philosophy

ings, nor hang them, nor burn them
at the stake; as is the custom I'm the
Southern States, without due process
of law? Russia, perhaps, has many
faults regarding the i'll treatment OF
her subjects, but IL has done nothing
worse than the awful crimes perpetra
ted upon the black citizen by the in
telligent, the best white citizens of
the Southland. For such has been
the reports of papers and dispatches
coming from that section when an
unfortunate negro would be shot
hanged or burned at the stake; the
reports say "the Best Citizens Par
ticipated." And these best citizens
are those of intelligence and educa-
ton.
The editor OF the Boston Ameri-
can well remembers that awful burn
ing at stake OF the colored man Sam
Hose. some few years ago in Georgia.
TO say nothing of other atrocities
perpetrated upon the Afro-American
people by the white race In that and
other Southern States. The case of

death with his little babe In his arms
his family manned for life, his
house coal oiled and burned in the

the right thinking American people.
The peonage system In the South,
which is system OF slavery. is nev-
er condemned by the editor of the
Boston American; although IL Is car

section who are supposed to be pos

A colored man and HIS wife and

asked IL in the flush OF victory the
japanese people would not feel en-
