THE ATLANTA MASSACRE.

Although policemen were shot at from ambush
at Atlanta last night and two of them killed, pre-
sumably by negroes, it would seem that the frenzy
of the mob is at an end and that law and order have
been in a restored through the agency OF a
large force of militia and the police.
How many have been slaughtered during the
unreasoning and disgraceful manifestation OF mob
ferocity is not yet known. Perhaps it never will
be known but it remains horrible Indictment
against the people of Atlanta that not one of the
victims OF race hatred run mad was in any
way concerned in the assaults on white women
which were made the excuse for saturnalia of
blood.
Will the people of the southern states never
come TO realize the folly, the inhumanity and the
lawessness OF giving free rein 10 their hatred OF
negroes' Can they not understand the peril there
is in such wanton slaughter OF innocent blacks as
has recently blotted the names of Atlanta and the
state of Georgia?
In that commonwealth there are over one
million negroes, while the white population num-
bers I,I82,eee With population so nearly equally
divided is there not danger OF bloody reprisas when
coored men are ruthlessy sacrificed 10 the mad
ness that rules the mob?
A war between the races in Georgia would be
a frightfu thing; it would mean anarchy, and awful
slaughter. Is that what the white people of At
lanta want? If it is not then let them at once go
to the assistance of those whose duty it is
and mainain law and order and let them hunt down
the ringleaders in this foul massacre and bring them
10 the bar of Justice.
They are worse than common murderers and
should not escape the punishment the law visits on
murderers

they cannot command the services OF ex-
pert artists at dressmaking. Amateur
skill cannot expect TO turn out satisfac-
