WHAT THE RABBLE ROUSERS
HAVE DONE.

The Atlanta Constitution laments
over the fact Of cotton being at 9
cents when last fall it readily COM
manded IS cents. The reason for
th1s-Oh, what fall was there, nv
countrymen, is,. that the South elect
ed lot Of cranky legislators who un-
derstood nothing and cared for moth
ing but how to devise schemes to
disfranchise the Afro-American and
to extort Doodle from the railroads.
But the consequences are now ap-
parent in the fact that the South has
lost millions On it's cotton crop
through these fool doings. Foreign
ers have almost entirely ceased to in
vest IN Southern enterprises and are
not only seeking but actually finding
other fields for their capital there
fore the South is left lamenting.
Mr.. Richard Ed1nonds, editor of
the Manufacturers Record, thus ex-
plains the situation:
Ihe wave of political mysteries
which has swept over the South has
made the rnoneyed people of the
world afraid to invest here, and SO
we are not getting one 1.-THE as much
OF outside money as we, need for le-
g1timate development and which we
could readily command under wiser
and saner recognition of the rights of
capital to a thorough protection.''
Ihe illiterate voters of the South
know nothing of economic conditions
and send to the legislatures the rab-
ble-rousers who bawl loudest about
Negro domination," and these fell
lows go to the capitol bent on
schemes to do the railroads. The
results are the natural consequences
OF folly of an amazing type.

JEFF'S IAMBOREE.

Jeff Davis got upon the rampage
in the Senate the other day, and this
is what he told those fellers:
go! damnable i1nps of pe1f and
greed, I defy your taunts! Tear to
fragments my political career, if it
comport with your execrable will;
stltie and distort my every utter
ance; not satisfied, if such, be your
brutal frenzy, lash my poor form into
insensibility; then, if it be your fur
ther pleasure, knaw from my stiff
fening limbs every vestige of qr1iver-
ing hesh.'
NO, we must correct ourselves, as
there was nobody there to be told
the craven senators fled like coyotes
almost before Jeff cleared his throat
leaving the redoubtable Arkansan
! monarch of all he surveyed, benches
cuspidors and wigg1e- tails
But if the senate thought by such
| tactics to eliminate the hi1lbilly
Rbanerges, it was .woefully disap-
pointed. Jeff had all by himself
his day in court, and he brayed like
wild bull of Bashan and pranced
i like billygoat tied to gatepost
! Such jamboree was never before
pulled off in Washington.

And the fact is that everybody knows
that Vardaman knows more about
the Constitution than the fellow who
made it. And further it is known
fact that Vardaman has the most
scrupulous regard for all the provi-
sions Of the Constitution, including
the Fifteenth Amendment, so it is
hard to imagine what will be the
feelings of the Supreme Court JUS
tices when this castigation comes to
! their notice. How they will hang
their diminished heads!
And by the way, another dark
skinned statesman, Bishop Turner,
has led the way for his follower,
Vardaman, in entertaining low idea
Of the Supreme Court.
Tillman, Hefin ct al declare that
this is white mans country So the
opinions Of dark-skinned pli1oso-

SATURDAY, MAY %, 1908.
HE HAS STRUCK THE BLOW


A writer in the Washington Her
aid says:
"Frederick Douglass was one of
the great men of the colored race.
lie advocated the acquisition of some
OF the islands in the Caribbean Sea
to be held by this government and
governed as territories, and the
heads Of families of American col
ored men who voluntarily emigrate
to those islands to receive home
Steads tree on terms similar to those
on which homesteads are given in
our territories"
Now, says the writer, "Let us re-
vive the Douglass idea" He then
goes on to remark as follows:
1T may be argued that the col
ored man has never succeeded in sus-
tanning a government unaided by the
Aryan races. That is true, but by
our territorial form of government
these colored governments would be
guaranteed republican form.
"'The hand that would be free must
first strike the blow The Negro, as
a race, has never struck "a blow for
freedom, and till he does, he can
never be free. He must prove his
competency to govern his race. That
blow cannot be struck in the United

States. Annihilation would result
from such an effort" ....
1t will be readily seen by the above
that the writer is all muddled I'D and
toundering around trying to prove
the Lord knows what He ignores
the fact that the Afro-Americans of
the United States are largely of the
Aryan race, and are not Negroes in
any correct sense of the word.
And he brushes aside the facts OF
history with most reckless indiffer-
ence. Did not Nat Turner. Denmark
Veasey, Toussaient L'Ouverture and
Crispus Attucks strike blows for
freedom? .,... ..
President Cleveland is responsible
tor the statement that Bonapart was
compelled to relinquish the whole
Louisiana. territory to the United
States because the Negroes in the
West Indies annihilated his last army
and compelled him to do so.
The Appeal., 1908-05-23

1t having been made to appear to
the satisfaction of the courts that a
certain railroad down in Jimcrowdon
was furnishing soap and towels to
white passengers and none to Afro
Americans, in defiance of law, the
road was ordered to make the ac-
commodations for both classes the
same. This the road cheerfu1ly did
by not furnishing. any soap and
towels to anybody, white or black.
SO hereafter down South, the pas
sengers will all be SO grimy with
coal dust, that it will be impossible
to- distinguish white from black. It
serves them right too; for the fe1-
lows who got up jimcrow laws don't
deserve any soap.

DARK-SKINNED PHILOS-
OPHY


"In the famous Minnesota and
North Carolina case recently decid-
ed by the Supreme Court of the
United States that court did more to
inspire the masses of the American
people with feeling of distrust and
contempt for that court than any
thing the court has ever done. I do
not believe there was member Of
that court who did not know at the
time he decided the case that he was
violating his oath and the Constitu-
ton"
