coLoREp VOTERS READ.

Below we give some recent utter.
ances BY some OF the leaders of the
democratic party which alone Is
enough to drive every colored voter
In Iowa and elsewhere from even
thinking o. voting to aid or support
the party whose leaders are so preju.
diced as to steal the rights of fellow
beings and then make speeches that
they are glad to be able to keep the
negro down. II ever there was time
that all our people should come to-
gether on one proposition 1t Is to
vote against every democrat who en-,
dorses those ideas In those inter.
views. Read and remember that
party on election day:
Lagrange, Ca, Oct. 10.-Governor-
elec. Hoke Smith, speaking on the
race question at the Georgia home
coming exercises here today, said the
idle } 70 Is menace to his race
and that means should be devised to
keep him from idleness. He said the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition hinders the most intelligent
mode of handling the subject. Among
other things he said:
Our national government has al
ways legislated for the Indians, plac-
ing around them restrictions entirely
different from those applied to white
men. But for the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution we should
follow the same plan in Georgia with
reference to the negroes. The white
man must accept full responsibility
and control OF the situation. This is
the white mans country and it is the
white mans burden. The negro should
be encouraged to help. Kindly but
firmly the large majority of the ne
groes must be supervised and direct
ed by the white man.
TilIman Urges Remedy.
Little Rock, Oct. 10.-Senator Till
man of South Carolina discussing the
race question in an address here to,
day, said he believed the passport
system, as now in vogue in Europe,
would abolish ravishings.
II know" said the senator, ''the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendman
would have to be done away with.
When man leaves home he would
have to present his papers. In addi-
tion he would have to give a good
and sufficient reason for his being alb
sent from home and where he was go
ing and why. 1t would result in put
ting the loafers on the chain gang
where they would be made to work"
Says Crisis Is Here.
among other things the senator
said the crisis was now here when
the white men must rule the south
land regardless OF all the Yankees be-
tween Cape Cod and hell. Here will
say thing which is necessary, but
which regret to say I believe it was
and is the purpose of the politicians
in the north to so amalgamate the
two races in the south as to make us
all part negro. The southern women
are standing guard at the door Of the
temple OF race purity and the men are
aidi' in the amalgamation. A white
man who will not stand with us
should be made to live forever with
the wretches with whom he delights
to associate

not again see this man, but may we
not take his Jyood advice. his brave,
manly words and emulate his charac-

lDEAlISM AND REVERENCE.
The Irish Race Never Accused Of
XuiQarity.

The name of Benson is English in
all its associations, fact which gives
peculiar interest to the charming trib-
ute which Arthur C. Benson in his
incisive essay on "Vulgarity." in the
Atlantic Monthly for August pays to
the Irish race for their freedom from
the ugly quality which he so skillfully
analyzes.
Writes MIR. Benson: There are GER
tain nations who have been accused of
many faults who vet have never been
accused of rulgarity. The Irish are Il
case in point. They have been accused
of levity. of undue conviviality, of
frivolity, of Il tendency to romance, of
untrustworthiness. of responsibility;
but they have never been accused of
vuigarity. Such a character for in
stance. as Captain CostigaE in PEN
dennis is depl0raby unsatisfactory,
He is vain. iascible, undignitied, fond
of strong liquor. unduly rhetorical;
'','S nv - iaSNSi SN0SliN
has Il curious inner dignity of spirit
which energies when you least expect
1t. He has Il fervid admiration for
fine moral qualities. such us gcneros-
ity. courage and loyalty. The truth
is that the Irish have the poctical
quality; they are all idealists, some-
times almost inconvenentiy so; and
it may be safely stated, without fear
of contradiction. that vulgarity is in
consistent with the poetical quality.
There lies deep in the Celtic tenn
permanent Il rich vein of emotion, Il
strong relish for the melancholy side
of life: it is on this that their ncom-
parable sense of humOr is based; and
it may be said that no one who feels
at home with melancholy, who luxuri-
the possibilities and the performances
of humanity, is in any danger of vul-
garity; for one of the essential cci,,-
ponents of vulgarity is Il complacent
self-satisfaction; and If Il man is apt
to dwell regretfully on what might
have been, rather than cheerfully
upon what it is, there is little room
for complacency. In fact it may be
said that the IRISH race has strong
sense of the poetry of failure and
disappointment whereas to the vul-
gar person failuAe is simply an intoler-
able evil. to be thrust out of sight as
far as possible.
Then. too, there is another quality,
the quality of reverence, which is
inconsistent with vulgarity The Irish
are certainly not q naturally revercnt
nation-superticially but l should
hold that, though their sense of humor
may sometimes create II hOpelcssly diff
ferent impression, they have a strong
sense of inner reverence TO, which is
noble and beautiful"
