to ride in separate railway coaches.
The U. S. supreme court has set
tled it in this paragraph in a case
from Louisiana: “The thirteenth
amendment to the United States
constitution, abolishing slavery and
involuntary servitude, is not violat
ed by a st t ■ sta'ute requiring sep
arate accotmr o iation for white and
colored persons on railroads, as ap
plied to the international commerce
of the state.”
The decision is a very interesting-
one aDd should be familiar to the
colored people as well as wtrte. The
'aw is good for both races. It is
published e sewhere in this issue.

Alabama papers say our Govern^
or Atkinson’s speeches had much to
do in swelling the majority for the
Demderatic ticket in that state last
Monday,
Is there any instrument to meas
ure the extent of the calamity to
the aspirations of Col. Tom Watson
jarisingout of the Democratic ma-
orify In Alabama?
The evidence of the extraordinary
heat of the summer is seen in the
early opening of cotton bolls. Per
haps as much new cotton was
never seen before and there is no
other reason for it.
LITTLE TRICKY STILL
If our recollection is without
fault we think the Democratic con
vention met, made its platform and
nominations several days before
the Populist met and acted at St.
Louis. Again we recall the tact
that the Democrats acted upon
their own motions and without re
ference to either Republican, Popu-
iist or any other party, consulting
with no others as to what their de
mands and principles should be. It
is rather queer now that Mr. Tom
Watson should step forward and
make a row because the Demo
crats refuse to let him play in their
yard. It is certainly one of the
most extraordinary of the many
little by-plays he has figured in, and
it is extremely probable that he will
do his party more injury than good
by it. It was the duty of the Popu
lists to nominate their own ticket or
to adopt the Democratic ticket and
platform which contains every es
sential demand they have made for
a change in the government. Mr
Watson can only do harm and after
awhile the people will see he is
dancing to Hanna’s trombone in
stead of working- to benefit the great
masses which he pretends to be lan
guishing to consummate.
The Atlanta Journal and Augus
ta Herald come into line like true
Democrats. Bygones have nothing
to do with the present work of elec
ting the ticket, and their services
will bo needed up to casting the
last vote for Bryan and Sewall.
Democrats do not eat crow 7 voting
for regular Democratic nominees.
The lying correspondent of the
World got in his w 7 ork on Senator
Jones, the chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, and Wat
son is doing his best to make capi
tal out of it. It will not work. It
is entirely too diaphanous. We
have always insisted that the New
York World w 7 as the champion pre
varicator of the United Statesjsnd
every day it offers confirmation of
our judgment.
Col. Walsh is still writing drow 7 sy
papers these hot summer days to
prove that over production does not
lower prices. Col. Walsh is really
trying to satisfy the world that peo
ple w r ith good money in their pock
et will actually buy things they
don’t want. He just as well tell us
the best way to get up a hill is to^go
down it. If our observation is
worth anything this argument to
support the free coinage of silver at
16 to 1 has been abandoned long
since. In fact there are so many
better arguments being advanced it
is obsolete and out of place.
A Connecticut yankee talks this
way about free silver and Bryan
away up in New England.
“I regard the Chicago platform as
nothiDg less than a new declaration
of American independence from
financial servitude to the descend
ants of King George. The World
has cautioned its readers to ‘watch
Wall street and go the other way.’
The ‘other way’ is opposite to that
faken by McKinley, Hanna & Co.
Any workingman who negelcts to
vote for Wm. J. Bryan deserves to'
have his name handed down to pos
terity as a renagade, a Tory and a
traitor to the best interests of man
kind, beside whom the offense of
Benedict Arnold Dales into iusigifi-
cance. America for Americans
first, last and all the time!
Wm. Fugerson Kelly.
Derby, Conn., July 29.”
The majority in Alabama, the
most intensely ridden with Popu
lism of any Southern state, shows
that in this race Populism will have
no separate hand. A famous Kan
sas Populist said the People’s party
was born of the people’s necessities
and would cease when no longer ex
isted the necessity. It is plain that
the sensible and patriotic Popuiist
see that be can come nearer get
ting his demands satisfied by join
ing now with the Democrats and
he is going to do it, There is no
reason that the People’s party
should be destroyed by it and will
not; for as soon as another necessi
ty demands it, it will rise again
if there be no other party pro
posing to right the wrongs of the
masses. A few ambitious dema
gogues and office seekers are trying
to give trouble, but they will not
succeed.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
1. The thirteenth amendment to
the United State’s constitution,abol
ishing slavery and involuntary ser
vitude, is not violated by a state
statue requiring separate accommo
dation for white and colored persons
on railroads, as applied to the inter
national commerce of the state.
2. A state statute providing for
separate railway carriages for the
white and colored races by railway
companies carrying passengers in
their coaches in the state, and the as
signment of passengers to the coach
es according to their race by con
ductors does not deprive a colored
person of any right under the four
teenth amendment of the federal
constitution.
3. No question of interference
with interstate commerce arises
under such a statute,in a ease where
the railway company enforcing it,
is purely local line with both its
termini within the state.
4. A law which repuires the sep-
eration of the white and colored
races in public conveyances is a
reasonable exercise of the police
power of a stab'.
5. Whether tlie second section of
suen a statue, denying from the
passenger compensation in damages
for a refusal to receive him into
the coach in which he properly be
longs, is a valid exercise of the leg
islative power, this court does not
decide.
“We consider the underlying fal
lacy of the plaintiff.’s argument to
consist in the assumption that the
enforced separation of the two races
stamps the colored race with a
badge of inferiority. If this be so,
it is not by reason of anything tound
in the act but solely because the
colored race chooses to put that
construction upon it. The argu
ment necessarily assumes that if,
as has beenmer^ than once the case
and il not unlikely to be so again,
the colored race should become the
dominant power in the state legis
lature and should enacta law in pre
cisely similar terms, it would there
by relegate the white race to an in
ferior position. We imagine that
ih9 white race, at least, would not
acquiesce in this assumption. The
argument also assumes that social
prejudices may be overcome by leg
islation, and that equal rights can
not be secured to the negro by an
enforced commingling of the two
races. We cannot accept this
proposition. If the two races are to
meet on terms of social equality, it
must be the result of natural affini
ties, a mutual appreciation of each
other’s merits and a voluntary con
sent of individuals. As was said
by the court of appeals of New York
in “People vs. Gallagher, 93 New
York, 43S, 448, (45 Am. Rep. 232)
“this end ean neither be accora-
p ithed nor promoted bylaws which
conflict with the general sentiment
of the community upon whom they
are designed to operate. vVhen
the govenment, therefore, has se
cured to each of its citizens equal
rights before the law equal opportu
nities for progress and improve
ment, it has accomplished the end
for which it is organized and per
formed all the functions respecting
social advantages with which it is
endowed.” Legislation is powerless
to eradicate racial instincts or to
abolish distinction based on physi
cal differences, and the attempt to
do so cap only result in accentuat
ing the difficulties of the present
THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE.
For the life of us we do not see
why the Populist should refuse to
support the bryac-Sewall-Chicago
ticket without disseDting or hesitat
ing a minute. The origin of Popu
lism ostensibly was to obtain rights
for the people which the two older
parties they say,refused to give the
masses.
This so far as theDemocratic party
was concerned was a bare assump
tion. The Democratic party had
been sturdily fighting the domina
tion of Republicanism against
eyery odds of money, civil and mili
tary influence since the end of the
war. Defeat never once turned it
back from the war on classes
for the people. The great tar
iff issue finally came to the front
and by a campaign of education the
Democratic party obtained power.
Strange to say amidst these efforts
of the Democrats to assist the mass
es and destroy monopolies, the Pop
ulist were organized, leaving the
Democratic party and advancing
ideas and doctrines which ought to
have been discussed and adopted or
refused inside of party lines; in
iaet to revolutionize the govern
ment in a day with its extraor
dinary demands.
The tariff reform having been
accomplished the Democratic par
ty proceeded at once to reform our
defective financial system. Revo
lutions go on slowly and the rights
of the masses can only be attained
by lifting separately each oppressive
burden#"
The English pople are more cau
tious than any other in the world
in changing adopted forms of gov
ernment. accepting changes only
after a long discussion and careful
investigation. The perfection of
the present. English constitution
has been going on since the estab
lishment of power by William the
Conquerer in the eleventh century.
The Democratic party has adopt
ed the only feasible plan of perfect
Ipg our constitutional rights; that
of takiDg up separately and discuss
ing that provision which will most
relieve the burdens and establish
a clear constitutional right. Radi
cal and violent changes cannot be
made in our form of government
without danger of disaster. All
statesmen ought to be cautious to
lead to changes in our form of gov
ernment only after the people have
thoroughly understood the purpose
of adopting a new policy. The
Democrats are certainly the best
friends of the people in making
only such changes in the laws by
which we are governed after ithe
people have understood the propos
ed changes. When did Republicans
ever do it ?
If the Populists are sincere in
their work for the people they
should, without deliberating a mo
ment oyer the thought that Mr.
Watson or Mr. anybody else ought
to have office, come with the Chica
go convention upon the main idea
of reforming the financial system
of the United States; especially as
It is one that they have so ardently
insisted was a crying need of the
people. A large majority of Dem
ocrats at the Chicago convention
make it the issue now, and what
reason can they have for deserting
it. The chances are ten to one better
for them to succeed in coming to the
aid of Democrats on the Democrat
ic platform than if they attempt
outside to help the people as they
pretend to want to do. If the true,
patriotic citizen of the Populist par
ty know that Watson or Hines, or
any other of that kind simply de
sire to play the demagogue we hoc?
estly believe they will desert them
and vote to elect the Democratic
nominees. When the country is in
need of reform honest citizens pay
little heed to office seekers. Every
thing against Republicanism and
its legislations for the few against
the many should join with the Dem
ocrats now to effect this purpose.

My little boy, when two years of
age, was taken very ill with bloody
flux. I was advised to-use Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, and luckily procured
a part of a bottle. I carefully read
the directions and gave it accord
ingly. He was very low, but slowly
and surely he began to improve,
gradually recovered, and is now as
stout and strong as ever. I feel sure
it saved his life. I never can praise
the Remedy half its worth. I am
sorry every one in the world does
not know how good it is, as I do.—
