THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The now going-on consummation of the base, uncalled-for and scoun- drelly designs of the Tillman row- dies in South Carolina on political rights and privileges of the fast- rising portion of the negro race in that cut-throat State should imme- diately excite the apprehension of the patriotic, and especially the statesmen, of this country. The proposed wholesale disfranchise- ment of and denial of privilege of holding office to negroes, a scheme contemplating a political condition out of harmony with and subversive of modern enlightened government, will be far-reaching in its present consequences and inevitably pro- ductive of political and social dis- order in the future. The negro race in this country is rising rapidly. With but thirty years of opportunity, the negro in education is nearly the equal of the white man, a fact forcibly demon- strated by the hostility of the Till- man gangs to the ‘ Mississippi plan,” on the ground that with only an educational qualification for suffrage the negroes will domi- nate the State in five years. Spite of slander and villification of press and platform, the American people are beginning to feel the rise of the darker race in intelligence, social elevation, and business enterprises. The young negroes of this genera- tion constitute an abler and more progressive people than the slaves, and in spots they are exciting jeal- ousy and apprehension, In the course of the next twenty- five years negroes will hold large property and business interests, and_| in almost every respect be equals of whites in culture and ability for all kinds of work. The creation of a dominating class of white office- holders to the exclusion of negro office-holders, the former to control all the executive functions of State and local government, will place practically unlimited power certain to be used in the hands of the prej- udiced whites to persecute and to prey upon the wealth and happiness of the well-to-do negro citizens, No one can doubt for an instant or fail to see that the success of this movement will result in persecu- tions of wealthy and intelligent ne- groes, and property-owning negroes especially. The theory that fac- tional appeals for and buying of the negro vote will protect the negro even better than he is now protect- ed, is an absurdity that needs no comment other than silent con- tempt. A subject people who are without representation will be a heavily-taxed people and the vic- tims of every measure of fraud and persecution, especially if they are wealthy. How far will such a movement extend? The desire to prevent negroes from holding office and from having their own chosen representatives in legislature func- tions is common to ‘white office- holder and white voters the whole country over. It isa fact of no inconsiderable significance that in the next Con- gress of this country, composed of +.

It is certain that the convention will enact any legislation it pleases, no matter how unjust, infamous, and unessential to the State’s well- fare, and boast of its dirty work to the deprecating enlightened people of the country. The question arises, will this settle the negro? Will the negro with culture, education and wealth take upon his overloaded back this last straw and endure being over- ridden by political sharks? The THE WALLER CASE. It is believed that ex-Consul Waller will die in a French prison before this administration takes any action. Had Mr. Blaine been at the head of the State Department instead of the present democratic Secretary of State, France to-day would be danc- ing a war song.

It is said that the constitution and laws of the United States are inad- equate. It is not sv. There are sufficient laws on the statue books to protect all claims of citizens against unjust discrimination Me- Kinley is that man ; he is the man to see all laws are enforced and the country would be safe in electing him the President of the United States. 1 The latest report from Silcott Springs is, that a colored man by the name of Allen was seized by a crowd of ruffians ; a rope tied around his waist and carried to a magis- trate to be identified as the man who committed an assault on a white woman. There was a reward of $250 offered for the capture of the man, hence it was important for these white renegades to capture some one. Fortunately Allen was not the man and he was released. Allen was a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Webb, the owners of Webb’s cot- tage. The boarders who were eating dinner at the time lost their appe- tites when the news was brought to them about poor Allen’s arrest and the charge against him. tl t The democratic negroes of Penn- sylvania are denouncing the white democrats of South Carolina be- cause they intend to disfranchise the negroes of that State. If those Pennsylvanians, as well as other negroes who support the democratic party, will learn some sense they would not have any cause to com- plain. All. the asses will not be dead until the democratic negroes are laid six feet under ground. It is rumored that the school |” board will recede from its position when it dropped certain school teachers. If the teachers are to be reinstated they should not have been removed. Well, the politicians are anxious to know who will put up the boodle to go to the nextconvention. That seems to worry them more than the candidates for delegates. The politicians say that the next fight will be one of money. The Bex is of the opinion that it should be one of human rights. where in the United States, and yet itis said there is no prejudice in America, It would be very surprising if ‘the South should elect a negro judge to one of the higher courts. There is vo reason that there should not be a colored judge of the Police Court. The methods resorted to by the Times to knock out the Star will not work. | Will ex-Consul ‘Waller ever be ' liberated ?
