The true Ku Klux Khan were
superlative in their irresistible
influence and, as intended,
the universal superstition of the
negro in every recess of his
vivid imagination, intensified by
the appearance of a Ku KIux
Klah in his hedious regalia.
They were generally free from
violence and appealed to the
Psuchikos rather than the Anth-
ropos, and their appearance
would have different effects on
different negros. Some would
faint, some pray for the rocks
and mountains to fall upon
Them" and some would betake
themselves to flight. after
which some jolly negros would
sing a strain of that little Ethio-
plan melody:
Dat niger run, an dat niger
flew,
And dat niger tore his shirt
in two"
When the ancient Khan did re-

vicious carpetbagger, inA the
venom of his hatred, began to
preach incendiarism and assassi-

night the Khan gagged and hand
cuffed him and carried him to a
nearby wood, hung and buried
him in short and decent order
and marked his grave with this
epitaph:

This little tragedy did not &C.

abroad throughout the state of
Arkansas with telling effect.
The true Khan never even
manifested any disrespect to
women and never stopped to
feathers and tar buckets as the
modern Klan are reported to
have done. The latter have no
discipline. But Napoleon and
the duke of Wellington were
never more rigid and exacting
in the discipline Of their armies
than were the ancient Ku Klux
Khan. But the present aggrega-
ton of Ku Klux are essentially
mobs without organization or
discipline, with good intentions,
no doubt. Any mob is always
more harmful than helpful in
their activities. Many news
papers north and south have ex-
pressed unfavorable opinions of
these klans and few northern
papers have even enloglzed the
ancient Khan. But it is nothing
