THTIOHROE JOURNAL G M. BEASLEV. K F. BESI.EY. r1'" fc Tuesday. rUrth 8. IXW. Tbt Btirainf oi Nrjnie. Boker Washington, the regro principal of the Tuskegre Institute in Jtlabama, who has attracted an (iuch attention uf late by rea-son of having dinrd with Presuk-nt IUwe Tell, and kically, by having eat-n in trtf hotel for white people at Hamlet lalt feumrat-r. published an art kit f LtttWHfk calling attention to several asu-a of outrage against negns bv t, mot's. The article is so true, so torn pernio, and iota forth conditions rr oua. that we pnbli.h it in lull : 1 -'Within the last fortnight three . r member of mv race have been burned at the suite; of these one was a wunan. Ni one of the three was charged w ith any crime even rvmote ' fy Connected with the abuse of a , white; woman. In even- case mur der was the sole accusation. All ot Hhes burnings Ux-k place in broad .. dayliglt, and two of them occurred on Sunday afternoon in sight of r. Wiristfaa church. ,"In the midst of the nation's pros ' ''rerous life, few, I fear, take time U consider whither these brutal and inhuman practices are leading us The custom of burning human beings has become so common as sc.troi-K to attract interest or unusual atten tion. I have always been among .tliuse who condemned in the stroii "est terms crimes of whatever cliarac- ler committed by members of nn race, and I condemn them now ni; ejnaVtiPTeri'y; but I maintain that the only protection of our civiliza tion is a fair and calm trial of all 1 peopla charged w ith crime, and in "their legal punishment, if proved guilty, there is no excuse to depart from legal methods. The laws are. at a rule, made by the white people, ajid lhair execution is by the hand of the w hite people; so that there is little probability of any guilty col ored man escaping. These burnings w ithout trial are in the deepest sense unjust to my race; but it is not this injustice alone which stirs my heart These barbarous scenes, followed a? They are by the publication of tin shucking details, are more disgrace ful and degrading to the people who influence the punishment than U those who receive it. "If the law is disregarded w hen a negro is concerned, it will sixm U disregarded when a white man is concerned, and besides, the rule of the mob destroys the friendly rela tions which should exist betwivn the - races, and injures and interferes with , . tho, material prosperity of the com ' mmiitios concerned. , "Wortl of all, these outrages take pfoct' in communities where there re Christian churches, in the midst fT' people who have their Sunday sgjrl, Uu-ir Christian Kndeavor s rirtftV nhd young men's Christian .,.i!Siciatiuii; Collections are taken ut ' 44 Md missionaries to Africa and . A'huwami. the rest of the so-called 'hvatRen world. "Is it not possible for pulpit and press to speak out against these burning! in a manner that shall aMiwa sentiment that will compel l)ic mob to cease insult ing our courts. -yr .governors and our legal author- " 'fry,' Pease bringing shame and ridi cule upon ourChristian civilization?" Who can blame an intelligent ne gro for speaking of these things? The Journal has said over and over, that the mob spirit is progressive ; that if men arc lynched for one crime tliey will be for others, and by and by for none at all; that if negroes are Jynchcd now, w hite men will be after ' awhile. Of the truth of this prop osition wo believe there can lie no doubt. This paper has also said that : the negro leaders have not, as a rule. ihown a proper appreciation of the , enormity of the crimes committed by their race; that their disposition and -practice were rather to uphold the criminal and shield him against the law rather than to condemn his crime and seek to have him pun jahed.Now, can it be possible that wc are partly to blame for this frame of mind among intelligent negroes ? Do" we give proper sympathy and en couragement to negroes who, now and then, like Washington, rise above their clannish instincts and take their stand for law and order and proper punishment of negro crimi nals ? If we demand moderation and Jttstica from them, we ought to help them tyr condemning and punishing the injustice and outrages which the lawless element of the white race txx often practice upon negnx-s. We have said that negro teachers, preach ers and other leaders among them should continually teach their race to be law-abiding, to respect the law instead of considering it an enemy to be. outwitted whenever possible. We say, with equal emphasis, that ? t , UaV press and other agencies that dominate the thought and feeling of i . f 3 cop n try should set themselves 'lesotuiciy against me injustice ana i ttT'V Jt.0'0 upon negroes. "! " ' Southern society has set well de fined founds beyond which the ne gro race never will nor can go. But ; ; certainly (the white race ewes it to itself to treat the members of that &ea justly4 within those bounds.

Gaston, tad been Wdete So to. Mr. Scott of Kansas said on the :loor of the H uise on Monday of last week that Mr Cleveland, while pres ident, had invited a negro, one Tay lor, to luncheon, and had actually lined with him. The congressman stated that he knew it as a fact. Mr. Webb (if North Carolina threiion. straightway, wrote Mr. Cleveland and iskeii him aUiiit it. On Wednesday the North Carolina Congressman ap peared upon the lloor of the House, for the first time, and with a letter from Mr Cleveland saying that there was not a word of truth in Un charge. Mr.Scottthereupon hastened to aHilogize, and the Democrats had a regular campnieeting time over Mr. Cleveland's letter and Mr. Webb's timely hit.

And all this powder burned at a range of live miles! In the oil time a man of war chased out to sea and her cap tain sailed where he listed, and the enemy knew not his whereabouts till his sail rose in view over against the horizon. Then as quick as the two could get together they knocked a few holes in each other, and as both were almut to sink they were lashed together, the sailors drew out their boarding pikes, and one crew or the other wag killed or captured.
