Is the South too Tolerant 10 the Negro?

Pursuing further its considera-
tion of the always interesting Jim
Crow problem, the New York
Times appears to cOncede the con
tentlon of this paper that the lack
OF proper standards and sound
public opinion in the negro race
causes the chief difficulty in pre-
serving good order i'm the colored
cars. Ii adds. however. this sin
gular suggestion:
But Is 1t not possible that the
white Southerner himself might
proitably be little less tolerant
of negro misconduct
Probably it would not be easy 10
find 4 more striking Illustration
than this of the great change which
has come over the spiritof Northern
visions about the South within even
the past decade. For half a cen
tury and more, the North's advice
to the South anent the care Of lis
black charge has poured out i'm a
ceoScleSs tide. but thc side has
borne nothing of this sort upon is
bosom. In = thousand ways and
with all the vigor, posiiivenes, and.
not rarely, arro2ancc and riiyiue
contempt, lhc North-ra erpl>r>mcn
havctold the South v.,hou, cca~ire
that they must be more Tolerant of
the Negro and his possible foiblc-:
that th, black brother ro~-.sspd u
co-equal soul loralldu.i,y tegamen,
and that. conqucnt!: hc was as
good ic,pccially for Sou'hernerSl
a any white man that ever walked.
That has always been tie burden
OF the Northern song. the loud
twanged string upon the Northern
one-stringed lutte; the South must
be very kind to the negroes. But
the years change, and wcwith them.
And now we find the able Times
led, ana led solely 10y It's intelligent
candor, TO the rather extraordinary
position whence il looks abroad
over the purvicw and cautions the
South that it must not be too
tolerant of negro misconduct. "
Well, history shows that the
South Is not prone to he. Future
history will record also how the
South has struggled. is still strug-
Cling, with nobility and fortitude.
not to err too far in that other
direction whittier temptation and
provocation continually press.
Occasionally. even now when the
terrorS of black domination have
happily lifted from our part of the
world. Sclf-restraint snaps under
the stress of that provocation, and
there occurs one of those sorrow
ful events ut which the North once
threw aloft its hands in holy and
mortified Indignation. but which it
now contemplates rather with a
tragic sadness which knows itself Il
potential sharer in such orgies.
When these times come. and may
they be rare. it will be a satisfac-
ton 60 Us TO reflect, in all sincerity,
that out of one of the old aboli-
zionist Strongholds has come to the
South the sober message that too
much tolerance of negro miSbe-
havior may be as bad an error as
too little. Richmond Times Dis

From BellevieW.

Easter out here was a lovely
Sunday. The writer spent an
hour Or two rambling in the ''forest
primeval", all alone save Nature,
which is an inexhaustible source
of knowledge "to him who holds
communion with her visible FORM"
We climbed to the highest point
on the watershed between Belle
view and East Fork, from which our
eyes could get a good view of the
surrounding country, and Belle
view valley in particular. Iron
Mountain, Graniteville, and ear
ly the whole of Belleview valley,
could be very distinctly seen, and
the grandeur of the scenery, par
ticularly at this time of the year,
when the valley is carpeted with a
lovely green, was simply suberb.
Easter services at the M. E.
church were attended by a fairly
good audience.
George Loomis, of Belgrade, at

Saturday evening, 18th inst. He
stopped over night at the Paullus
Hotel.
On Saturday afternoon, 18th inst,
the following named persons went
to Iron Mountain lake on a fishing
expedition: G. Paullus, Hal Bell,
G. Carter, H. Russell, H. Logan,
Chas. Bond, David Goggin and
Crave Edmcnds. They had not
gone more than a mile until some
one made inquiry concernin g
bait, when Master Harold Logan
said he had plenty of it, and pull
ed out of his pocket a pepper box
containg four or five worms, cover
ed with an inch of dirt. Now, of
course this would not do, and af-
ter some little consultation, it was
definitely decided that the best
place to get the bait would be at
Graniteville; and consequently
the party drove by, and succeeded
in procuring the necessary bait.
Then the trip was resumed, with
out further delay until Iron Noun
tain was reached. We are relia-
bly, informed that the party had a
Jolly time and succeeded in CATCH
ing several very good fish, n OF
which measured 27 inches and
weighed Z pounds.

happy. She was laid to rest by
the side of three children who pre-
ceded her to the other shore-Della

deceased leaves a husband, five

There are two petitions out for

While walking up the railroad
track, between here and Pilot
Knob, Just north of the railroad
bridge, Thursday evening of last
week, about seven o'clock, in
broad daylight, John Duree, of
Crawford county, was held up and
robbed of 6.50-all the money he
had with him. Duree came to
Ironton that evening from Bis
marck on the $3.50 train. There
were two of the robbers and he
recognized them as a couple of
men he had seen at Bismarck
that afternoon and with whom he
had had several drinks. They had
gotten off the same train with
Duree here and Immediately start
ed north, heading him off above
the bridge. The men held guns
on Duree, making him throw up
his hands. After going through
his pockets and taking his money
they ordered him to go on, and
they started south. Duree at once
notified the officers of the robbery
and search was instituted for the
offenders. But they seemed to
have made good their escape,
and and nothing was learned
as to the direction they had gone
until the following evening whom
Sheriff Marshall was apprised that
they were south of here. Friday
night, taking Duree with him to
identify the men, the Sheriff went
to Williamsville. Next morning
about six o'clock the officer dis
covered two men getting off a
freight train at Williamsville,
whom Dureee promptly identified
as his robbers. Duree secreted
himself and the Sheriff drawing
his gun, called on the two men to
throw up their hands. They hesi-
tated, and would probably have
shown fight, but just at this time
Duree come around the corner of
a house with a shotgun in his
hand and the men saw that re-
sistance would be useless. They
were brought to Ironton that
morning and taken before Justice
Rasche, where they waived exam
ination and were held for the
grand jury. They gave their
names as Clark Stringer and Chas.
Jones: the former says he is from
Flat River and the latter from
Fort Worth, Texas. They admit
ted meeting Duree at Bismarck
and said they got off the train
here with him, but denied hold
ing him up. Duree told them at
Bismarck that he was going to
Pilot Knob to buy a home, and it
is thought this statement induced
the men to follow him, thinking he
probably had a large sum of mon
ey on his person. Duree is a
nephew of Squire Luthy of Pilot
Knob and was on his way there
when the robbery occurred. Sum
day a telephone message was re-
ceived by the Sheriff from Flat
River stating that Stringer had
jumped a bond over there and his
securities we're anxious to learn
of his whereabouts.
