Boston. Oct. &C. William Kinds. col
ored. Of Biloxi. Miss, declared in an ad-
dress at Chelsea that the color line could
only be washed out in blood. Hinds who
was formerly a state senator in Alissis-
sippi. said;
The ballot box. the Jury box. and the
cartridge box are denied the nonwhite
race in the South. In the majority Of
the Northern States the negro is seldom
picked as a juror. The President OF the
United States has now taken the cart
ridge box from them, so the nonwhite
race IS now completely dismantled Of
citizenship.
THE color line must go, even If il IS
wiped out in blood. We can get arms
and ammunition, also money. The next
thing is to keep on drilling, so as 10 un-
derstaud the tactics OF war. but we must
Iiberate ourselves from the hellish slavery
that exists against the dark races.
First blow from Orient.
Watch China and Japan They viii
strike the blow for the freedom Of all the
nonwhite race. Church, state and gov
ernment must join in our demands for
freedom
There viii be no peace on earth until
the white men who are in the minority
on the globe, deal fair and square with the
billions Of nonwhite people. If any foreign
power or powers should attack the United
States what could we do without the as
.sistance Of the native-born black, brown,
red, and yellow races? Could you blame
them for not defending a country that
allows the Southern States to deprive
them OF the ballot box, and IN all the
States the use Of the jury box? And the
President has taken away from them the
cartridge box.
Attacks Both Parties.

Bonaparte. none Of the school of So
called Republicans-for the black. brown,
red. or yellow men will not vote for these
upon their oaths. They are IN the same
category as Tillman, Vardaman, Graves,
Smith. Dixon. Howell. Watterson. and
hundreds Of other race-haters, who are
worse than the anarchists they talk about.
Like them Is Bryan and his cohorts.
