JUDGE LANDIS' AUTHORITY.

Just at the eve of Billik's DOOM when
the state had done all it claims it could
do-the Supreme Court of the State,
the Board of Pardons, these high digni
taries-the law had decided that the
will of the people of Cook County and
Chicago, must and shall prevail, Judge
Lands of the United States District
Court just few hours in time, before
the arrival of the fatal hour, sent a
sage-good news and glad tidings-
mothers and wife's hearts a-bleeding;
children too young to weep at heart,
Billik having given up hope-messag
read in substance this Judge Lands
has granted a stay of execution, on his
judicial authority and gives time to
take the case to the Supreme Court of
United States. Note what change in
80 seconds-tears wiped dry-sorrow
turned to joy; bleeding heart of wife
and mother elated-yea, overjoyed, even
ecstatic. Maybe Judge Lands did a
good deed for others, if-not for Billik.

TIE WHITE AND THE COLORED
RACES IN AMERICA.

With all the talk and harangue about
Negro colonization, deportation, ANAL
gamation and expectation, the question
resolves itself to one pertinent fact,
namely: individuals immigrate, but
nations never"
After adj, the true Americans in this
country will be found to- be the native
white people and the Negro. There will
be mo- appreciate separation of the
races-here the two have lived and died
for 10 these 800 years; here in every
grave yard they are buried side by side,
and here they shall await the trumpet
sound.
How cruel it does seem, yea, as cruel
as it is impossible, to- drive a people
shed their blood upon the altar for that
countrys liberty, prosperity and wealth
Where is the spark of Christianity?
You can't do it.
In politics the Negro will become the
center of attraction and the all absorb
ing factor-he will become very influ-
entail integral part of the nation and
must be reclSoned with along the lines
of justice, equity and law.
The sentiments and habits and Gus
toms, manners, religion, etc, of the two
races will remain homogeneous, though
in blood and social dealers they may be,
for some time, heterogeneous.
