WIIjMINOTUJSI. JM.-C WeDITESDAT M.0R2TEN&, JUKB 4. A HEQEO TAXES TEE TRIBUNE TO TA8X. !a short . while ago we quoted two articles, one from a negro paper published in Indianapolis, Ind., the other from the Tribune, published in Chicago, both on the recent trouble in Atlanta, caused by a ne gro desperado and some associates, defying the officers of the law, re - salting in a fight in which two men were killed and seven wounded- The negro paper took a sensible, con seryatiTe riew of it and gave the ne groes 8omegoodadTice. The Tribune, on the contrary, edited by a white man, from whom at least common sense might hare been expected, published an article anarchistic from beginning to end, the sum and sub stance of which was to advise the ne groes to arm themselves, and where they were in the majority to assert their power and with gun and torch terrorize the white man and make him "bite the dust" That article was the creation of a diseased brain If the sanity of the writer were in question it would be evidence enough to send him to an insane asylum. But he was not insane for he was simply writing as a partisan, inspired bv partisan motives and sectional bias, sectional bias to serve political ends. "NeoToea were the first to see the folly of that advice and among the first to rebuke it and put to shame the callous-hearted incen diary who had the hardihood to pub lish it. T. T- Allain, a native of .Louisiana, where he was a State Senator and held other public posi tions, but for some years past a resi dent of Chicago, promptly wrote to the Tribune condemning that article. He says. "Ia dqt opinion your article of last Saturday is a lamentable and much to be rejj retted misuse, i Know, nr. Editor, that men generally will not allow criticism, even though it comes from a friend. Bat, sir, I am a freed- maa from the South, having served in the house, senate and constitutional convention in Louisiana from 1873 to 1893, and having, last Sunday, return ' ed from an extended visit and exami nation of matters and conditions in the South, I hope to be able to command just a modicum of your kind consider ation. Napoleon once wrote to Joseph ine: 'Your neart is excellent, your psreeptions exquisite, but your delib erations are less wise.' "It comes with bad grace and in very bad taste for a Northern Republican, in this day of our Lord, to say to the negro of the South: "Suppose the Northern Tillman was to say that what the negro needs is not education in letters, but proficiency in the handling and use of the shotgun and develop ment in the noble art of self-defense 1" This, sir, is a mistake, and very des perate talk, but: "Error ceases to be dangerous as long as reason is left free to combat it" Again, you said in your article of May 24: "The negro, armed only with the ballot, did not prove a formidable opponent The negro en dowed with the shotgun, may be a power to be reckoned with. The bal lot may be the handmaiden to the shotgun." Now, Mr. Editor, I would like to talk with you just as I see mat ters and things, actuated by motive of no reward, and as one who cares less for consequences." "The negro cannot and will not ac cept your suicidal ideas on this mat ter of life or death. The negro of the South knows enough to know ' that Lincoln, Grant, Sumner, Fred Doug lass and thousands of their best North ern friends are dead. And they know full well that if they were to look as if they were about to put your shot guj policy in operation that the first to mow the negro down with the artillery of the United States Gov ernment would be the sons of the men who wore the 'blue.' "In conclusion I would advise the negroes generally to stand by the Tribune in its article on page 13, De cember 81, 1901, when it said: 'Give the negro a chance," and in that arti cle the Tribune said:. 'Public interest in Mr. Washington himself is wide and deep,, but so is public approval of his attitude towards the question of the position of the negro in America." "That attitude implies no appeal to fantastic and doctrinaire principles. It has other things to recommend it, be sides humanity, philantropy and al truism, i "It does not deal to any noticeable extent in 'platitudes and stained glass attitudes.' Its meaning is simply this, the development of the negro by prac tical education to the point where he will be of practical value to himself and to his country. Very respectfully submitted, "Thkophile T. Allain, "Ex-Senator from Louisiana." How differently and how much more sensible and patriotic this reads compared with the .rabid ut terances of this white self -constituted counsellor of the negroes, who perhaps had no more conception of what he was doing, if his advice were acted upon, than the child who plays with a dynamite torpedo. Such a man knows neither the ne groes of the South whom he was advising nor the white men of the , Sonth about whom he was writing, and while he would get both into trouble', he was working to! bring" destruction to the negroes who might be foolish enough to follow his counsel. This colored rebuker knows both, for he had lived In the South and come into contact - with both. I t 1 Did: this Chicago white! man, rhb as a newspaper writer ought to .be reasonably well informed on cur rent events, ever read of what they call a j"rce riot" a sort of j stereo typed phrase for rackets between white men and negroes that the negroes didn't "bite the dust?" to quote this negro adviser, j If he bad been in Wilmington luring the WTdutionw; in " 1898 some call tfha- Jfot," but there was no not about it he would have seen an object lesson that would have impressed itself on his memory for life. He advises the negroes where they are largely in the majority to assert themselves and let the white people see that there is good fight ing stuff in them. In 1898 there were two negroes to one white per son in this city. Presuming,' per haps, on their numbers and the for bearance of the white people, the more assertive and insolent of these got an idea into their heads that they owned-the city, and sometimes behaved in public according. This was borne until patience ceased to be a virtue, and the white men re solved to rid the town of that ele ment A fool negro editor pre suming on the disparity in num bers andjbhe previous forbearance of the white people, furnished the cause and the opportunity for ac tion, with the result that notwith standing threats of inoediarism, re ported general arming by the negroes, a disposition to resist by some of them, and their superior numbers, they were taught a lesson, and the worst of them, including some white asso ciates and mischief breeders, were driven from the town. The white men asserted their mastery, and' there has been no trouble between the races since. They understand each other better, the negro has in. finitely more respect for the white man than he had before, and he is as a consequence better off than he was before. When the trouble came, if there had been a cry of distress from the white men of Wilmington, it could not have been more promptly re sponded to by the white men of the country and towns nearby and at a distance, from many of: which speedy inquiries and offers of as sistance came and every incoming train brought scores of armed men to help the white men of this town whom they feared might be over powered, because reports had gone out that the negroes were in an ugly mood and had been secretly arming for some time, anticipating a col lision, j . Anyone who saw the response from the white men outside of Wil mington, the unity of those j within, and the magic rapidity with which armed white men poured in from all sides, would soon realize the strength of the tie that binds white men to gether in a race clash, and how hopeless and fatal the attempt would be for negroes, even -where they outnumbered the whites, to trample upon them. A Bhot fired and the fight begun would bring armed white men from all direc tions, to stay until the negroes surrendered or were destroyed. That has been, to a greater or less extent, the history of all such conflicts, a fact which sensible negroes know and one which this Chicago an archistic adviser ought to know. AH OPEff TJBDEBSTAEDDra. In the discussion of the j Philip pine question in Congress and out of it there is much talk by the ad vocates of "benevolent assimilation" which has pushed "criminal aggres sion" off the bench, about our "national honor" our bounden duty to stand by our trust, and obliga tions, but they studiously ignore the violation of pledges when they changed their tactics and entered upon the war of "criminal aggres sion," for territory grabbing and conquest, the intention of which they had previously denied. 1 " When a year or more ago Senator Wellington, of Maryland, a ;Repub- ican, declared in a speech in the Senate that he voted for the Paris treaty on the distinct assurance by President McKinley that permanent possession was not contemplated, but that it was the intention as soon as practicable, to withdraw from the islands and turn them oyer to their own people. The expansionists met this positive statement with the assertion that the Senator either misunderstood the President or mis represented what occurred between them. But Mr. Wellington asserted it positively and insisted that he had been deceived into voting for the ratification of the treaty, j Monday in his speech in the Sen ate, Senator Mason, of Illinois, another Republican, declared that he would never havtwvoted, for the ratification of the treaty if it had not been for the. "open understanding" that the Filipinos were to be given their independence aS soon as they were ready for it," which meant, if it meant anything, that practically the same course was to be j pursued towards them as was being pursued with Cuba. That's what that "open understanding"- meant, and that's what the resolution of Senator Mc Enery meant which was adopted by the Senate, to placate the Senators who were opposed to the policy of land grabbing. It was understood before the treaty was ratified that this resolution would be adopted and on the strength of that under standing Senators voted j for the treaty who otherwise would not have done so. j ' . There is no doubt about the "open understanding," which" the expan sionists have so shamelessly ignored. It is said that out of the thirty- nine reigning sovereigns in Europe, ail but one of whom are married, but twenty-one ' have male .issue. -his looks as if masculine royalty Might be playing out over there, and yet the world wags on just the ame, or better. PEACE AT LAST. The reports about the ending of the war in South Africa have been verified by the official announcement made in parliament Monday, the Boers have accepted terms and laid down their arms. Thus ends a war which has lasted for nearly three years, cost Great Britain not far from 11,000,000,000, over 20,000 lives, and brought no glory to her, although it brought some territory, for the Boers agree to accept and recognize British sovereignty. While the Boers have lost their indepen dence, many of them their fortunes, and thousands gone to their graves they have won fame, as daring and heroic fighters that has never been eclipsed on the battle field. Considering the disparity in num bers, wealth and resources, was at the besrinninsr. with those who studied the situation, only a ques tion of time when Great; Britain would crush them, but even these were surprised by the marvellous re sistance these two little Republics made and - the amazing valor -they showed in coping with their power ful foe. which after the first en counters outnumbered them in the field five to one. No people ever kept up a war against greater odds or mote gallantry sustained them selves in such a protracted and one sided conflict. 1 After their heroic but vain resist ance, after they had robbed the cradle and the grave to defend their country and their firesides, at last recognizing the hopelessness of their struggle, they doubtless are glad that the end has come, although it comes under a clond of defeat and disappointed hopes; but they are not gladder than the British are, who would have brought the war to an end long ago if they could have seen their way to do it without abandon ing what they began the fight for. As it is neither has gained by all this sacrifice of blood and treasure, and both ate to be congratulated on the ending of a ghastly tragedy which had shocked the world. BOOK EOTICES.

The good man must now be prepared to near something evil of himself. Washington Post, Ind. N It appears that we have been expending about $6,000,000 a year on account of naval operations in the Philippines since May 1, 1898; and if to that is added about $60, 000,000, a year on account of army operations, we get an idea of what it costs to "conquer a peace" even with a little people. Brooklyn Citi zen, Dem. The Cuban Con areas besrins its life with characteristic .Latin flightiness.

Louisville Courier Journal, Dem. It cannot be poss ible that the leading spirit of the so-called Inter national Immigration and Commer cial Association, which has been in session in Chattanooga, and has pre pared a petition to the President and to Congress asking for an appropri ation of a,nalt billion dollars to as sist negroes to leave the United States, imagine in their wildest vis ions that funds will be taken from the National Treasury for any s nch purpose.
