THE LAW OF THE EAX.
A hie Consideration of the leg;ro lue
tion from Southern Standpoint.
"The Law of the Land" by Emerson
Hough, (The Bobbs-Merrill Company,) is
one of the latest contributions to the
literature of the Xegro Question from a
southern point of view. It is true that
the book is a novel, and a very entertain
ing one, too; but it was written ap
parently for the purpose of providing a
vehicle for the presentation of the ar
guments which move the southern white
man to advocate the withdrawal of politi
cal power from the negro.
Taken as a novel, the book presents one
dominating character, Col. Cal Blount,
who evidently was not intended to hold
the center of the stage, but whose striking
individuality forces him into that posi
tion. He is genuine, whole-souled south
ern gentleman, a planter of the Yazoo
delta, who is the soul of honor and of
hospitality, and who prefers bear hunt
ing with his pack of high bred dogs, to
any other sport. The other characters,
from "Miss Lady, whom it The Law of
the Land involved in mystery, and John
Eddring, gentleman of the South, who
read its deeper meaning,'" as we are in
formed by the sub-title, down to the poor
white and the negro politician who ap
pear from time to time, seem merely a
background for this one strong figure.
Yet he alone ought to make the book a
success.
The plot is by no means a strong one,
and there are times when we almost lose
sight of it altogether. One gets an im
pression of a series of sketches of south
ern life and character, vividly drawn and
usually well worth reading, but with lit
tle apparent connection with the progress
of the story. Yet the book is intensely
interesting, the language is simple and
well chosen, and the style vivid.
As au argument upon the negro ques
tion, it undoubtedly presents in the
most favorable light the southern
method of treating the question, while it
presents the negro in such an unfavorable
view as to character, aims, training and
accomplishment, that if one can believe
that this is a true picture of the negro of
the south, the white man is justified in
using any means necessary, no matter
how violent or inhuman, to maintain in
that territory a "white man's govern
ment."1 Yet one who has never lived
among them cannot help questioning
whether the picture is not overdrawn.
The usual reason given for the
lynchings which have disgraced the
south is here scarcely touched upon. The
real argument is that the race is la)',
superstitious, and but a short step out of
barbarism, and that if left to themselves
they would soon relapse into a state of
savagery and the fertile soil into a wilder
ness, while the white' would find life
among them absolutely unendurable.
John Eddring summed up the argu
ment in a speech which he delivers when
acting as attorney for the defendant Col.
Cal Blount, upon his trial for murder
because of a lynching.
"Xo human document, no sum of hu
man wisdom, not even the Deity of all
life can or does guarantee a success which
means individual equality in the result of
effort. The chance, the opportunity
that is the law, and that is all the law.
To war and conflict each creature is fore
ordained. If the black man can
grow like to the white man in all human
attainments, if he can grow and succeed,
then let him have the chance to do so.
If the white man can prevail,
he, too, must have his chance. We
are not here to conclude that God set the
white man over the black. We are to
conclude simply that he set him apart
from the black man.
"The South accepted the ruling of the
North as to Slavery, but she did not
