NO NEGROES bLAIN .
It is funny the way the Chi
cago Inter Ocean treats the ne
gro question in Illinois. Its re
porters send long accounts of
the shooting down of the Alaba
ma negroes at Virden, but the
Inter Ocean says not a word
about it. —Rome Tribune,
The Inter Ocean “says not a
word” about the shooting down
of negroes at Virden, because
no negroes were shot there. Tlie
men killed and wounded were
white miners, a white detective,
a white railroad man.
There were residents of
Springfield, Chicago, Mount Ol
ive, Girard and other towns of
Illinois. We believe that not
one negro has even been wound
ed, in the war at Virden. The
reason the Inter Ocean stands
mute, is found in the action of
Gov. Tanner.
He takes sides with the arm
ed strikers and against the coal
company, and against the im
ported negro miners. He is af
ter the votes of the strikers and
the votes of their friends. lie
cares nothing for the laboring
man, only to use him for hi
purposes.
His organs, must, of course,
give tacit and silent consent, to
the high handed and lawless
course of the rather low dema
gogue who is governor of the
great state us Illinois by repub
lican votes. II t ran‘2o,ooo votes
behind McKinley in 1896, and
if the people had a chance at
him now he’d go. His mobocra
cy and demagogy would’ut save
him.—Chattanooga Times.
A NARROW ESCAPE.

“Wa» taken with a bad cold
which settled on my lungs;
cough set in and finally termi
nated in Consumption. Four
doctors gave me up, saying J
could not live but a short time.
I gave myself up to ray Savior,
determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, 1
would meet my absent ones
above. My husband was advis
ed to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption,Coughs
and Colds. I gave it a trial, took
in all eight bottles. It has cured
me, and thank God I am saved
and now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at
