NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
Tho fall season, which is regarded as
“jmying up time,” is here, and The
Times-Recorder would request those of
its subscribers who are in arrears to
settle their indebtedness as early as
possible. We are in need of the money
to settle up our accounts, and now that
we have carried our customers through
the year, we respectfully rcijuest them
to do us the favor of paying up for the
paper at once.
The Republican party is iu need of
some friendly whale with a bigger
mouth than Teddy Roosevelt. He has
already proven himself a Jonah on
board tho imperialistic craft, and the
storm has just begun to rage.
An ante-bellum negro association, to
comprise all the Southern States, will
be organized in Macon Sept 35. The
object is to discountenance the crimes
of young negroes which lead to lynch-
ings and also to establish better race
relations.
All the signs point to a reasonably
prosperous business season m Ameri
cas. The teritory now covered by
the trade of thiB city is so extendsive
that a few hundred baleB of cotton
nfbro or loss does not affect us as they
nsed to do.
ROBERTS SHOOTS HIS PRISONERS
The London Truth is oue o' the most
lulluencial newspapers published in
England, and its brilliant editor, Henry
Labouchere, is a man of convictions
and has the courage to proclaim them.
Iu a recent editorial on American i>oIi-
tics Mr, Labouchere said:
“tVereiau American I would vote
for Mr. Rryau iu the coming election.
I do not believe in bimetallism, but re
gard it as a proposition having noth
ing to do with practical politics.
"I would vote for Rryau because be
is more Democratic than his oj>poueut.
Rrynu’s crusade agaiust trusts means
that he objects to plutocrats ruling the
country iu their own interests, His
opposition to the enteringon a scramble
for outside territory is merely the doc
trine which until within a few years
was held by every American. It is this
doctrine which has made the United
States so prosperous.
“Capitalists and imperialists are ac
tuated by the same aim. They want
to divert attention from the mainte
nance of democracy at home by flaunt
iug before their country the glory of
an increasing area of empire. Semi-
civilized lands acquired bv the sword
are their best bunting fields.
“Never yet has a people or nation
benefited by such acquisitions. Im
perialism has made the plutocrats our
masters for the nouco. They will re
main the masters until imperialism is
exploded.
“The Americans have au excellent
constitution, but it wont Btaad tho
strain of military adventure abroad.”
Mr. Labouchere has made a study of
our politics aud is throughly well in
formed as to what Bryan represents
and what McKinley stands for, says
the New Orleans States.
He is well aware of the fact that Bryan
is tho champion of the people, the
glasses, nnd that McKinley is the serv-

Lord Roberts is going iu for revenge
rather strong. He ordered shot the
young Boer officer who comspired with
others to abduct him. If Lord Roberts
had bueu abducted does ho believe the
Boors would have shot him? Tacitus
has said something somewhere about
an army creating a solitude, aud the
people at home said “peace how reigns
in the warlike country.” Does Lord
Roberts find he cannot attain peace iu
the Transvaal save by exterminating
Boer officers?
THE NEGRO AND THE NORTH.
Tho Chicago Journal remarks that
those bo exciting daj s for the colored
brother. “Angry citizens got after him
t in New Orleans; angry citizens got
after him in New York, and angry citi
zens got after him in Chicago. Ban
Francisco has not yet reported,” The
Journal very frankly ndmits that
northern people are not fonder of the
negro than tho southern people,yet tho
former pretends to like him, while the
latter do not. Our Chicago contempor
ary suyB:
“As neither north nor south protested
against robbing him of bis franchise in
North Carolina, it is doubtful whether
a propositiou to disfranchise him iu all
the Btates would arouse more thuu a
perfunctory opposition.
“What is tho use of the colored bro
ther educating himself if we are not go
ing to like him any better educated
than ignorant? Aud are we?
“ThcTnuuauity that chased the col-
orod brother in Chicago, XewYork and
New Orleans is the same humanity that
watched the butchering for the Roman
holidays. The veneer is so smooth and
-glossy that we are decieved at times.
We like to be deceived.
“As for the colored brother, ‘libbaty'
seems to be ‘a kind o’ thigg that don't
| agree with him’. What are we going to
do with him? He is more of a problem
than ever."
The people of the south are far more
friendly to the negro than those of the
North. He is given every opportunity
to enter the trades aud to make hiws.elf
a useful and industrious citizen,aud so
long as he behaves himself he is pro
tected iu the enjoyment of the rights he
baa under the law. In the north, how
ever,negroes are not permitted to enter
the trades,but arc compelled to make a
living in menial pursuits.
All things considered, the negro Buds

ple of the south and not among those

ant aud tool of the favored few, the
plutocracy; that Bryau believes in a
government of the people, for the peo
ple and by the people while McKinley
favors a government of the masses and
for the bonefit of the classes. This is
the difference between the standard
bearers of the two great political part
ies iu this country, aud Mr. Labouchere,
speaking as an Englishman, with the
experience of one, unhesitatingly con
demns the policy of landgrabbing as
one that never pays and warns the
American people against it.
There nre many prominent English
men wtio agree with Mr. Labouchere
that Great Britain has lost more than
she has gained by her laud grabbing
schemes,andyet the Repub icaus would
Lave us adopt the same disastrous
policy.
The American flag has beeu raised iu
the capital of China becauso we were
“forced” to raise it. We went in there
ouly in respouse to the dictates of hu
manity and for the maintenance of our
rights. By republican logic that flag
ought to stay there. “Who Bhall haul
it down?”
The recent anti-negro riot in New
York is to bo investigated. The de
mand for an investigation has been
made by several negroes of New York,
who claim to be British subjects.

If the olil saying that tho more the
cats fight the more cats there surely
will bo proves correct, there ought to
be lots of Democrats at the polls iu
New York State next November.
There is no doubt about the bitter
ness of the contest now iu progress iS.
the Empire State. It is a battle royal
between Hill, Coler, Danfortb, “Blue-
Eyed” Billy Sheehan and State Chair
man Frank Campbell on one side, and
Croker, Murphy, McCarren, the Van
Wvcks and John F. Carroll on tho
other. James Shcvlin, deputy leader
of the Kings’ County Democrats, is
also fighting on the side of the Croker-
Mnrphy combination, but Hugh Mc-
Laaghliu’s position is somewhat hazy.
In fact, the shrewd old Brooklyn boss
is laying mighty low, but the Coler
sentiment iu Kings is so strong that he
may yet cast in his fortunes with the
Hill-Coler crowd. McLaughlin has al
ways been friendly with Hill, and if he
sees that the up-State leader is likely
to defeat Croker in this fight he is apt
to go with him. At least this is tho
view taken by some shrewd Democrats
in the East, who have been watching
the battle.
Coler is personally objectionable to
Croker, because he has some indepen
dence of character and will not bo led
around by tho nose by Croker or any
body else. Ho is not the kind of man
the Tammany bjss wants in power,
especially uot iu the office of Governor
of New York.
There is little doubt tho Democratic
National Committoo leaders and Mr.
Brvan favor Color's nomination, be
lieving it tho strongest that could be
made, and also believing that his can
didacy would greatly strengthen the
national tickot in tho Empire State.
Neither Hill nor Croker are Bryan
men, but Bill is more likely to stand
up and mako a bold fight lor him than
Croker. The latter cares nothing for
national success if he can keep bis grip
on New Y’ork politics aud eventually
get a like grip upon tho State machine.
Let us hope the fight will prove the
soundness of the cat story, and that
Bryan and Stevenson will profit by it
