They would havenot the least compunction of consciencefor the wiping out of some 15,000,000 ofwhites while sowing the south withsalt and turning it over to barbaricrule. But it may be that the negroeswill remain in the south and quittingpolitics seek to help the whites to buildup this great land, and living in har-mony illustrate the virtues and bless-ings of peace.

offices that caused all the rumpus and'assassination. That has not a vestageof truth In it. The Commercial Issimply too Ignorant and too biased tocomprehend events and facts. "Allseems jaundiced to the jaundiced eye."

The Chicago Record had an editorialon the Wilmington "race riots," and kwas a commingling of just absurdsentiments. The following was proper:

"One must sympathize with the de-sire of the white citizens of North Car-olina not to be ruled by the ignorantand the propertyless element of thestate. The intelligent and the powerfulought to and will rule in every com-munity, and nothing can stand in theway of their exercising dominant au-thority. Nor is it desirable that any-thing should. So far, therefore," as therevolt of the white citizens of NorthCarolina against Negro rule is a re-volt against ignorant rule, the whitemen are deserving of sympathy."

But it believes in negro suffrage. Itthinks that Booker Washington is bet-

ter qualified to vote than the murder-ous whites of our city engaged "in thebrutal and lawless mob." It is a mis-

take to say it was a mob, and it is un-

fair to classify the best people in thiscity as it does, for they are more hu-

mane and just, and surely as intelligentas any average class in Chicago. Itwrites ignorantly and with prejudicewhen it indulges in the false strain itdoes. Booker Washington is a goolcitizen, a wise teacher, a man of abil-ity. He is well qualified to vote andwith judgment and discrimination un-

less he votes for republican candidateswith republican principles. The entirescreed of the Record is of the regula-tion type offensive, blind, stupid,false. A Christian gentleman of suchhigh and noble kind that he couldstand beside any citizen of Chicagoand be not afraid of comparison, saidto us on Monday: "Never before wasso important, so great a work of res-

toration accomplished with so littleviolence in so short a time." That istrue. We repeat what we said recentlyhere that the forbearance and conser-vative spirit of the White Men hereunder the prolonged exasperation andwrongs inflicted the chaos, the vio-

lence, the insults, the provocations re-

peated a hundred times in a hundreddays, were simply sublime. No peoplebut those trained through generationsin a love of order and obedience tolaw, but at last driven desperate bycumulated oppressions, could everhave borne themselves so coolly, so re-

solvedly, yet so calmly and mercifullyas did the white people of this city.While a few bad, turbulent, threaten-ing negroes were punished, a thousandacts of kindness and mercy towardsthe blacks marked every step of theRevolution. Northern men shouldeither get the facts and understand thewhole movement or stop writing aboutthe matter.

But where aparty controls there must be a legiti-mate prov4sion for free expression ofthe will of the voters who compose theparty, there must be some means bywhich the individual voters may con-trol the party policies and nominees.The most effective method for the ex-presi- cn

of this popular will within inthe party is the primary; and the pri-mary is recognized as a part of theparty machinery in this state.

WOItTIIEUN EMiJIIES OF WHITESAND THE NEUKOKS.

We remind our readers of a fact,that wherever you find a republicanpaper in the north you will find a paperalways disregardful of truth concern-

ing the south and unjust to the genuinewhite folks. These are the delectablesheets that favor a Strong Government

a centralized paternal power andare ready on any occasion to advocateForce bills for the control of electionsin the south in behalf of what? of

their own party. They are swift tojump upon the south fur any lynchingof a negro for rape of pure and truewhite woman, but take great pains notto say a word in censure of the brutethat wronged her so terribly. Theyare so unfair, so bitter, s" iniquitous

that the most devilish f crimes is

merely the temporary outci.ie of pas-

sion, needing no special severity ofjudgment even, much ".. "f punish-

ment, while the hanging of the incar-

nate devil is a great crime against thehypocritical north and civilization andhumanity. And yet the south will con-

tinue to hang for rape upon respectablewhite women and helpless children andthe north may "go to Jericho" so far asthe south cares. This way the people

of character and sense know that thenorth is swift to retaliate for crime andoutrage as the south is swift to retal-

iate, and that New England states andother states have a more barbaric crueland vengeful history than the southhas.

When a great shooting row a matchof unskill comes off in any northerncity or town or mine, the northernpress touches it with gingerly forbear-.anc- e

and avoids it often as if a pestif-

erous charnel house. But let a coll-

ision occur in the south let a fewmen be killed in a shooting match,and the entire press will send up mostpitiful, lugubious howls, and reams ofpaper will be written up about south-

ern barbarism, cruelties, murders andso on. Reading them you might con-elud- e,

if not otherwise informed as to

the real character of the Jeremiahs andsentimentalists, that the utterancescame from the real saints of the earth,the men who always acted up fully to

the golden rule of God "To do untoothers as they would be done by."

But so far from practicing habituallyuirh- - a high virtue they see but theone side of the shield in all things.are suffering from moral obliquity

that prevents them from seeing theright and the true and being jaun-

diced eyed all things look to them in

the south of the yellow tinge.

To read northern newspapers of therepublican sort when any thing con-

nected with the south is involved is adisgusting, repellant task. The in-

tense liars, the flagrant antagonism,

the crying injustice, the arrant de-

ception are enough to make one feel as

our friend expressed it "I ain't a care-in- g;

the older I grow the more I hateem." They certainly have a most per-

tinacious, ugly, venomous way of mak-

ing themselves hateful. So far as we

have read not one republican paper inany northern state or in any bordersouthern state has beeen intelligent,fair, truthful as to the late events in

this city. They have either wholly

misapprehended facts and written as

fools, or have with malignity and mal-

ice prepense written falsely and slan-

derously. They show that their rela-

tionship with truth is extremely re-

mote. We doubt if the lying gang

liave ever had any intimate associationwith truth. It is very hard to Seal

with chronic slanderers and inbred

liars. It is useless to correct theirmisstatements and deliberate falsify--

The negro as to government hasonly one clear idea that it is the dutyof Uncle Sam to feed, clothe, teachand protect him in laziness, theftli-nes- s

THE WORK OF SISYPIIl'S.

As we have said in another editorialit is useless to attempt to contradictand expose the statements of republi-can newspapers concerning conditionsin North Carolina and particularly inWilmington. Some appear absolutelyblind to all the facts. If they read thenumerous reports of events here theydid not understand them or believethem. We have before us twoKentucky newspapers a border stateclassed as southern, but it fur-nished more soldiers for the Yankeearmies than it gave to the south tohelp it fight nearly four times theirnumber. The Commercial is thelargest circulated paper in Kentucky,and it is republican and anti-souther- n.

It calls the killing here "assassinationand arson," and yet the slanderermust know that the fight was precipi-tated by the blacks It is evidentlyafter the true republican kind, verya'nxious for the huge Paternal Despot-ism to take the matter in hand andoverride and trample upon the limita-tions of the constitution and the re-

served rights of the states.lt appearsto think that in this goodly state, thathas always been in its entire historyfar more conservative and law-abidi- ng

than Kentucky, there is no govern-ment existing. Until within a fewdays ago there was really "no gov-

ernment existing" in Wilmingtonworthy of the name and all but theliars know it. The Commercial be-

lieves in the negro governing thewhites wherever they are in majority.Else it would not write as it does. Itevidently is much worried and pro-foundly sorrowful oyer the negro de-

privation of the ballot in South Caro-lina, Mississippi and Alabama. If itmeans anything it means that the ne-groes ought to control these three im-portant states. It perhaps never heardof their attempts from 1866 to 1876 inthe south, and what a "mess of it"they made, piling up largely over $100,-000,0- 00

of debt from which the state re-

ceived scarcely any oenefit.This fine organ of negro rule and

demagogue tooting says that "NorthCarolina has preferred the reign ofterror." Wait and see. In this citythat was forced to deal with insurgentnegroes sharply, killing a few, whenthey were threatening and warringupon the whites, the serenest ordernow prevails and a government of truewhite men is in power. The white racehere almost to a man rose up as amob but in the true spirit of revolu-tion, and in forty eight hours got ridof anarchy and all it means, set asidethe merest semblance and' sham of anegro government under which all wasdisorder and danger, and establisheda city government well based uponright and justice, and the orderly andprompt enforcement of law has beenconducted ever since.

There is no anarchy or whites killingof negroes this way. There will beno further trouble between the tworaces here unless caused by the ne-groes themselves. All is quiet andpeace reigns supreme.

We may not doubt from our under-standing of Kentuckinians and theirexceeding proneness to violence, that ifjust what has occurred in Wilmingtonfor the last two years had occurred inLouisville or Lexington that the streetswould have been crimsoned with ne-

gro blood and the last one would havebeen driven out forever.

The Commercial is hardly up in con-

stitutional law or reconstruction law,but we would inform it that for eigh-teen months the white people havebeen living under a purely usurpedblack radical negro government thatin May 1S97, the usual recurring elec-tion for city officials was not held, andthe old officials by the combine legis-

lature were continued in power. Louis-ville, if thus treated, would not havewaited events for eighteen months, butwould have been in furious revolutionin forty eight hours, and made it par-ticularly warm for the friends of theCommercial.

It is very much alarmed over theprospect of an educational qualificationor something else existing in the south,and then it says there will be no gov-ernment whatever, but merely anar-chy, we suppose; or something else.And all this because the whites do notquietly agree to be ruled over by thenegroes. It has visions of the awfulbefore its half closed eyes and says:

"When this (establishing an educa-tional qualification) has been done thestates of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisi-ana, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennes-see, Kentucky and North Carolinawill present to the American people thaaspect of a part of a republic where arepublican form of government doesnot exist."

Something much better will existthan "a republican" negro governmenta government of the White Race, basedon Anglo-Saxo- n civilization and thewisdom .of the great forefathers inEngland and the United States.

The Commercial in another editorialseems to defend and indorse the usurp-ed negro government here, and says itwas not insults to the white womenor any thing else, but it was to get the

FOHTY THOUSAND

There are about 40,000 negro votersin North Carolina who do not pay apoll tax or any other tax. They livein the state, enjoy the rights and priv-ileges under the laws, are employed bywhite voters most of whom are demo-

crats and invariably vote against thepersonal interests, the business inter-ests of their employers, and yet theydo not contribute one cent, one farth-ing to the support of the government-munici- pal

or county or state underwhich they live and toil and vote. Isit right, is it moral, is it wise, is it just,is it commendable that 40,000 negroesshould vote to tax the white burdenbearers who have no public burdensthemselves? Is that a good govern-ment, worthy to support and praisethat allows such a gross outrage, suchan oppression? No man of sense andhonor can say it is right and shouldbe allowed. In this state 40,000 blackelectors are the law-make- rs and gov-

ernors hitherto under the combinewho never give a penny of their laborto carry on the government in NorthCarolina under which "they live andmove and have their being." And yetnorthern fanaticism and political rant-ers declare that this anomaly and out-rage is all right, and men who seekto rid themselves of the tyranny andinsolent abuse of office are assassins,murderers, and savages. Out upon. thefools and slanders.

Let Chicago and Louisville or NewYork or Boston have the experienceof Wilmington and they will make ita pandamonium for the negroes. LetIllinois or New York or Massachusettshave an ignorant, besotted populationall united and all paying but 3 1-- 3 percent, of the total taxes of the state,and yet controlling elections and legis-lation and government, and afflicting
