The Simple Truth.

The South Carolina Churchnan, a
paper publishi d by colored people at
B autor5 in this state, utters slnp!s
tru. b when it says: The negro in
Olio is getting a taste OF mob rule,
they have been very loud In oenculc-
irg US for our patience under similar
trials, now We shall look with very
great interest to see what they are
going to do. They should put in prsc
tlce their teachings, and let US down
this way see how it Will work. We have
very little faith In the pretended sym.
parhy Of our friends in the North; we
have long since lsarIed that a great
many Of them love US 'afar cff;' that
y hen we ays b: ought in contact With
them, that they are ANYTHING but
friendly. We may hsve poor chaLcs
IN the SCu:h, bus it is the only chance
that we have in this country, ano
wisdom would dictate that we maks
the best terms possible with those
With whom we have lived al our lives,
anG must continue to live. Call this
trucking If you wish, but 1t is the
naked truth and the sooner we learn
tnis truth and sca on it, the better
for us as people," This is the best
advice we have ever seen given the
colored people in paper edited by
colored men. The day will never come
when the colored people will haze any
voice in the councils Of this nation,
and the colored man who now teaches
his race that great truth Is a bent
factor to it. This may sound harsh
on the ears Of some co!ored people,
but it is simple truth, and any man
who tries to teach 10 the reverse Is
an enemy to ths negro race and will
hasten its downfall. There is no es
sential diff:rence between the white
man Of the North and the white man
OF South. TEey both belong to the
greatest race Of men ever created, and
il the colored man ever gets between
them and their ambition they will
grind him to powder. This has been
the fate OF other peoples who have at
tempted to check the Anglo Saxon
race in it's mach Of progress, and it
will be the fate OF the negro race ~

The Moros, who were to be assimila

extinct volcano. They were surround

dred OF them, including women
and children, were "paciied'' in
death. No prisoners were taken, as
Gen. Wood says the action resulted in
the determination Of this hand OF out.

this sort from our Philippine posses
sions. Taere is never any report OF the
number II outlaws wounded. There
is never any report OF the number OF
prisoners taken. The brigands are
always sxtermipated to man. But
the thing we would Ike to know"
says the Atlanta Journal, lis this
are these people really outlaws, in the
ordinary, accepted sense Of the term,
or do the government reports call
them outlaws simply because the ao-
ministratlon does not wish TO admit
that it's program in the archipelago
has never met with the endorsement
Of the native population, and that, as
a matter OF fact, AIMED rebellion has
never ceased: ard never will cease so
long as some OF the natives are able
to get tbs arms? II these people who
are being slaughtered are merely dar-
gerCus brigsnds, who in no way rep
resent the real sentiment OF the ma.
tive population, there is some hope
that the inhabitants OF the islands as
a whole will one day become reconcil-
ed to American rule. But il they are
really rebels waging q hopeless war
for what they conceive to be their
rights, and really represent the feel
ing OF a large part Of the natives to
ward Americans, it must be very evi-
dent that the cheerful government re-
ports concerning the manner in which
the Filipinos have become reconciied
to American rule are very highly col
ored. It would be TO the advantage
