Vol. X No. 223
NORTHEN’S GREAT SPEECH
He Indulged in Plainer Talk Than |
Bostonians Often Listen to-
The speech delivered by ex Govern
or Norihen in Boston Monday upon
I he relations of the white man and the
negro was an exceedingly effective
presentation of the case. He showed
that lynching was peculiar to no part
of tbe country and cited instances in
Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and
other Northern states. He to<d how
the Southern white people had labored
to elevate the negro and how the trou
b e that had arisen were traceable to
politics and false teaching* which had
stimulated the vicious element of tbs
race to outrages upon the whites. He
maintained that no accusation of evil
tendencies could be brought upon tbe
m»j irity of the negroes but that the
crimes which shocked humanity were
co»6n»d only to a .small percentage.
Governor Northen, however, was not
content with any ad captumdum argu
ment, but he laid down in terse sen- (
tmc.s the principle that the South .
must ba-ruled by the white man as 1
the representative of the race that not <
only did but must continue to do mi- <
nate. He indulged in plainer speech
than the Bostonians bare beard in
many a day and gave them an alto*
gether different point of view from
that which they have traditionally <
held He was bold enough to dec'are *
flatly that the Dutch, England and ‘
New England had thrust the blacks
upon the South and that it was not ]
for tbe Northern people to do other
wise than to withhold uncharitable <
criticism and to leave' the Southern
white people to work out the problem i
as best they could assuring bis bearers >
that, under the Providence of God, the
true solution would, in time, be reach 1
ed.
His auditors beard from Governor
Northen, for the first time, doubtless, 1
the real story of the emormity of Sam
Hose’s crime and he asked them r
squarely what they would have done
under the circumstances Heatripped ]
the proposition naked and set it before t
them, and we may well imagine that
there will be lees said hereafter byway 1
of sympathetic expression in behalf of
the inexpressible brute He deliberate- ‘
ly charged that the great mass of ne
groes in the South were iu a happier ,
state than those who had found homes
in the North and he inveighed force- j
fully against tbe policy of tbe admin- g
istration in trying to put the bottom
rail on top in the Southern slates, t
Referring to Bibb county and the ’
effort to establish a rural delivery
system here, Governor Northen said :
“Hon. Charles Bartlett, representing
the Macon district in the present con- g
grees, upon application, secured rural
mail delivery for the county of Bibb,
Mr. Gaitree, the representative of tbe
posloffice department, went to Macon, 1
and together with the Macon post
master, investigated the matter and
located the rou’es Mr. Bartlett was (
assured that such carriers would be ‘
selected as were acceptable to tbe peo- 1
pie. Quite a number of good white 1
people made application, and on Mr
Gaitree’s recommendation, two were 1
selected.
“Their bonds were sent to the post- 1
master at Macon with instructions to
have them filled out, and the carriers
to commence service May 1. A day :
• I
or two after the postmaster received a
telegram from the chief of tbe free
mail delivery department, asking him
to hold up the bonds of tbe persons
appointed. Next day a telegram came
stating the free delivery would be es
tabliahed, provided the binds of two
negroes, naming them, who bad been
appointed in the place o' the white
men, were filled out and returned.
Mi. Bartlett went to Washington and
protested that the farmers did not
want negro carriers to deliver their
mails in absence of all but tbe women
of tbe families from home Two days
later a telegram announced that the
free delivery had been postponed. It
must be a negro or nothing, says ths
government to the South.
“When the government, appoints a
minister to Austria, and the cable
grain comes‘persona non grata,’ the
name is recalled and another substitu
ted at once. Why Austria and not the
South? Why dominate the South with
an appointee who is ‘persona non
grata,’ when Austiia can get what she
wants? W by dominate a section whose
people, as a section, are more thor
oughly American than any other sec
tion of tbe continent; a section more

“I consider it the best medicine I have ev

its more American citizenship; a sec
tion that defends tbe American flag
with as loyal hearts, as heroic daring,
and as patriotic devotion as ever char
acterized a liberty-loving citizen of

If Governor Northen had done noth
ing else than to bring out this point
be would have justified his journey to
Boston. It was put strongly enough
to reach into the very cabinet room at
Washington. It illustrated perfectly
the altitude of the Southern people,
who are willing to be deprived of gov

entitled rather than lo the consent to

An interesting case is the subject of
diplomatic negotiations between the
governments of Mexico and the United
States. Air, and Mrs. Rich, citiz a neof
the I cited States, were visiting in
Mexico. At Juan z, near the border,
Mrs Rich stabbed her husband. She
immediately took him across the bor
der into tbe United Slates, where be
died. Mexico has made a demand for
tbe surrender of the woman, who
claims American citizenship and al
leges that this government has no
right to extradite one of its own citis
zens. The point is said to be a new
one. Should the demand of Mtxico
be denied, the courts of this country
could hardly take cogn’/inco of the
case, since the stabbing occurred in
foreign territory.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they caxnot reach
the diseased portion of the car, There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
th it cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Go'.' Northen delivered a fine ad
| dress in Boston the other night, at
: the conclusion of which he invited the
I colored brother (a negro bishop; who
I did not indorse all he said, to come to
i see him in Atlanta. To a Southern
I man, there is no inconsistaucy in such
lan invitation. The Ex-Governor cet*
tainly has enough friends among the
colored people of Georgia, who do
agree with him, to take care of his
guest, in a social way. The invitation
does not mean anything else, but only
meant that the speaker would be glad
to meet and discuss the situation on
Georgia soil. In this connection we
call attention to the readiness of the
women of Georgia, to assist in tbe
work, as intimated in a note to Gov.
; Northen, while he was s; eaking
