born's rejoinder was. you could not
have found more UNFIT epithet" Mr.
Rhodes In his Oxford lectures said OF
Brown: "He expected the slaves OF
Virginia and the free negroes of the
North to flock to his standard" Mr.
Sanborn makes on this the comment:
Speaking with the exact Knowledge
of his plans which Brown spent hours
In giving me. now say he neither ex-
pected nor desired 1t: hts chief anxiety
was lest he should have more recruits
than he could handle Had he made
beginning far from cities, as we ex-
pected, he would either arm and fortI-
~ his select band. or. il the event was
not propitious. he would do in Vir-
ginia as he did in INSTRUMENTATION IN
his freedmen and carry them through
the North to a place OF safety. Brown
said that himself when questioned"
Browns testimony on the point
given In the course OF his remarkable
address to the court. was as follows:
II intended certainly to have made
clean thing of that. as I did last
winter, when I went into Missouri and
there took slaves without the swapping
of gun on either SIDE moved them
through the country and finally left
them In Canada. / designed to have
done this same thing again. on n larger
scale. l never did intend to excite
or incite slaves to rebellion or to make
Instruction" Brown added afterward
to Notwithstanding to Mr.. Sanborn-
that he meant TO place the slaves in
a condition to defend their liberties
IL they would before running them
out of the slave States Mr.. Sanborn
observes: These two purposes. not
inconsistent with each other, he GER
tainly had: but the thought OF general
insurrection never entered his mind
He knew the negroes better than their
masters did at that time: he had
studied them with q sagacity that few
Americans had then displayed"
After all. it is a disservice that the
venerable editor does to the memory
OF his friend; for the effect of his tss-
timony Is merely to show that Browns
tanaticism projected relatively small
enterprises. instead of the magnificent
though awful thing heretofore quite
generally credited TO 1t. Mr.. Sanborn
falls to convince us that the Rhodes
epithet OF gloomy fanatic" for Brown
was inapt.--Columbia State

Sentiments of Many Americans
the Japanese Question

Washington, April "a war
speech in support of the proposed
California anti-alien land law was de-
liyered in the House yesterday by Rep
resentative Sisson of Mississippi.
If we must have a war or submit to
this indignity, I am for war" cried
Mr. Sisson. Il am with the people of
California in their effort to prevent
these aliens from acquiring land"
Il believe" said Mr.. Sisson, that no
nonresident aliens should be allowed
to hold a single foot of land in the
territory of the United States. What
would Washington say in answer to
the question, war or submission? What
would Jackson say2 What would
Cleveland say? What would Mckinley
say? / resent the efforts of Japan to
force us to submit TO her demands"
Mr.. Sisson took the position that the
japanese government in protesting
against alien land legislation was en-
deavoring TO exempt its citizens from
the operation of the laws of states.
