Democracy and th ;
Negro
1 here are some negroes in this
country who are taking a consider*,
able interest iu the democratic party
and its presidential ra^e, believing
that the democracy will grant them
favors they have never receive 1 at
the hand* of the republicans. The
democracy wants the votes «f all
citiz ns of the republic who believe
in good government, but it does
not want the voles of the negroes
under any idea that they art to be
treated in any other manner than
the well established custom in this
country, that of maintaining the
supremacy of’the white man. If
there are negroes who are veering
to democracy on the idea that they
are to be pampered and petted and
given privileges over the white
man, they might as well be unde
ceived From Mr. Bryan (down the
democracy stands for the rule of the
white man, and there is no use in
disguising that fact.
The democracy promises nothing
to the negro except good govern
ment. It promises him every right
to which he is entitled under the
law.* It guarantees him the protec
tion of the law as a citizen of the
United States. It pledges its in
terest in nis 'welfare so long as he
conducts himself aright. It stands
f >r piinetples of government under
which the poor man, and nearly all
the negroes are poor can gf,in a
better living. There is mat h to at^
tract the negro to the democratic
ticket in this respect and if he had
more sense he would see that his
best chance lies in the success of the
democracy and of the men of the
South who are his real friends.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge ro
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fuMdls every wish in curing rheumatism,
oaii 1 in the "back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use ^f liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the Jay, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists is fifty-cent and ooe-dollar sizes.

The action of the legislature in
passing a treasure providing fol
iate primaries in this state should
meet with endorsement of every
i democrat iu the state. I his legis'
I lation was a feature plank in the
j democratic plat orm adopted on
| June 23d.
—
One of the important laws
t>y the .legislature which
has just adjourned is a newregis*
tration law. Itstexi ha-‘ not been
published in full, and its merits or
, demerits cannot therefore oe ac-
| onrately judged uniil this is done.
But in a general way it is under
stood that this new law provides
that all voters pay taxes and reg
ister at least six mouths before the
general state election in October.
T' a voter does not qua.ify before
April 1, he will be disqualified for
th6 remaindei of the year
The service pension bill which
was passed by the last legislature
will go to the people for approval
or rejection without the signature
of the governor. Governo- Smith
would have vetoed the bill ou the
ground that there were not sufficin’
funds in the treasury to meet the
demand provided for therein, but ol
investigation it was found that he
had no authority to veto a constitu
tional amendment. For this reason
the governor passes the measure uj>
to the people without his signature. j
This Is Illinois.
The story that tells how the cap-
itol or Illinois the white people,
forming a moh to resent an assault
upon a white ^woman by a negro,
’not only tried their best to lynch
the negro but actually set fire to
the negro qu-irter of the city and
laid many negro homes in ashes.
This happened in tne very heart of
the North where anti-Southern
sentiment is rampant, and where
the g: eater part ot the criticism of
the South comes from.
We do not condone lynch law,
but at the same Jime it is useless
to deny that whenever |tnd where-
ever this unmentionable crime is
committed the mob 4 will wreak^lt*
vengeance u^on the guilty party.
It is as true of Illinois as of the
South. The only difference is that
in the North there ar not as many
negroes and consequently fewer of
these crimes.
Had this occurred in Georgia the
Illinois press would have contained j
column alter, column of dia f ribe
against the people of this state. The j
civi'ization of the S ’.r ii would have j
been held up to scorn and the peo
ple of Georgia would have been
painted as barbarians. And all for j
political purpose, too. The press of j
the South is more considerate of
the Northern people. We under
stand the subject and while not dis
pose i to excuse the crime of lynch
ing, at the same time are not dis
posed te hurl anathemas at the peo*
pie cf an entire section.
