A COMMUNICATION. Editor of the Astorian: Some two years afro I read in your paper" the following editorial and is struck With It. From your point of View it a strung position.

The editorial j the negri and the Southern white ie as folloys: and take no part in th'ir ettttivcion It l a remarkable fact that in all the jf awrwfve disposition in the ve- iwm.ii m '"" '. . Bii.IW mini: i.re .&.'-? ... . - nnrmou'My in the majority for cen turies, no com planits of outrages simi lar to those now afDictlnir the South have ever been made. What is the rea Ron Can it be true, as charged by aiime. that the southern people are responsible by their treatment of the j negro tor nis acis oi nesperanou: vm auggested! that the inherent hatred of the negro by our own. southern people not only amounts to roe denial of jus- tfee to him. but gws far a to ex- aureerate his mildest offenses Into hen- iou crimes In order to create preju- dice against Mm? It Is very hard to believe some of the details published In the Atlana Constitution and otfwr southern papers as to the crime of Hose. Negroes In other countries un der w-M'i li minion do not commit such crimes. Ai-e our uegroes so bad as to be actually degenerated as com pared with uncivilised and barbarous tvpe among whom white w:men from Europe have lived for centuries ut terly unmolesrtetl? The world will nut beSeve this, and th South will lie eompeiled to make some other ex planation tfian irs claim as to the trocKy of the crimes cmmitte1 and the tardiness of Justice to account for fts own revolting offenses against rjvtllTSf'ion. So far as the excuse of tardiness of uncertainty of punishment for the class of crime the negro Is most frequently accused of Is concerned, no man who has ever lived in ttw S.mh gives It credence for a moment. He knows that no negro even suspected f such a crime can escape conviction at the hands of any southern jury in the course of a regular and orderly administration of justice. The South Is on the defensive not merely to the peeople of the northern states of this country, but to the whole enlightened ChrWendom of earth. Whilst I know the answer to it then I was not willing to give it without wider observation. For though I came out of generations of slave holding ancestors for 130 years In America and waa fcandled by negro slaves before white persons and had lived wfth them to the house all my life. It was In Uie border states, and I had not seen much of the grosser life of the hands on the cotton and sugar plantations. The summer after reading your edi torial I spent in Florida and Louslana. i and had good chances to see the Far South negro and the whites among them. To clear up one point first: It is a desire to wreak veng.-nce and Injury on the white men, not the desire to enjoy white women and girl children that drives the nfgro to h,jh mlt these crimes. The first negro burned for this crime wa-s at Paris, Good enough for anybody! jAll Havana FiLLtf mm 'fat A tJj ma pi: j FL0R0D0RA " BANDS en cf tami in I tie as left from " STAR," "HORSESHOE."

Out in the edge of town he committed tlx' fiendish outraire that .turned the white men Into fiends and they bunted him alive and stuck burning Are brands into hi mouth as he stood chained and In he fire. In the case of the tteorpinn neatnn Hose. it developed thai he was Incited to the deed by a negro preacher, as an act of hostility to the wWtea, Why is it. as you probacy ask. that in Spanish America and British colonies these outrages do net come to pass? I van answer it com pletely, and tlxe answer carries a lesi.i to every white man in the North wh. is above a brute or who is not w h.i'ly given over to hatred of the S.m'hern people. It is this: N where t?ls- in the w.rld i a iiarge and respectable element of the ijrroes against the white. It i the man like Marion B.

The white people of the North wl!l learn that in culti vating hatred In the mind of the ne ?ro for Southern whiles. ih?y cannot jet him to discriminate, he will hate aJI who have a white skin. V.-je wr.mg was never done to a race than r-e ' eternal hate"' element in the North did to the negro in thus setting him in antagoni-Tn to his form er ow ners. You speak of the "inherent hatred of the negro by our own South ern people." There is no such thing, on the contrary the Southern whites are far more tolerant of negroes than are the Northern whites. There Is a negro preaoher living who as a boy was my mother's wedding present from her father and he is an exceptionally good man, Is in fact, Indian, white and negro mixed. Not long ago he applied to me for help to pay a lawyer to defend his son who had had a serious fight and was in danger of a long prison term. "How- could I refuse the man in his trouble, who had cared for me and carried me on his back as a little black hov. year in and year out as we grew up to gether? He had saved many a step and piece of work for my mother and father in their frontier farm life and cherishes their memory a.1 I do. He u'ld m tnat he cauUoned his lawyer to get the jury made up of "old sjave holdf-rs and if enough of them csjuld not be hal then (,f th-ir sons." In s-hort the different rule for blacks and whites runs throughout with the Southern people. if after the war the white people of the North ha1 dune as th- soldiers would, had it been left t o them, and told the negroes "your ancestors were slaves in Africa, wore off than when transferred to Am-rlea. Ameri can slavery ha-s in some ways bene fitted you- treat your old masterj right and they will generally treat you right," there would have been but lit . tie trouble. But they have been taught i the falsehood that not ihe whole cotton using world but solely the cotton grow ing .slave holders were in the wrong, ; they have sown a crop , dragon's ' teeth whose harvest no one can fore tell. Ir. the Smth I found many Northern men: in Florida they are in I the majority In many towns, but they told me "w"e vote the republican ticket ion national affairs, but on all local matters all white peop have to stand ! together." Many a time I have look !ed at the fame teamster who drives ;his employer' :s mules, hauling coal, j summer anl w inter, , ain and shine, ; sticking to one employer for years, and 'I think how unfortunate that a d zen of the worst negroes should give the I w hole race a bad name by that many i apes and murders in a year. Lately ;I saw the pi'-ture of a li.ston woman w ho wanted negro women admitted to ie!u!s with white women. Her own ' ('.-'nfesrion could not more truly tell that hate, not love, is her motive. 'Her face is lhard, urisymnath'tic, cruel rin the other hand j had a great surprise from a Kansas ex-soldier w ho told me that he went Houth in 1S61, supposing they would liill off and drive out all the white slaveholers and leave the negroes in possession. . But in a very srcurt lime, in Arkansas, he found the South erners a fine people and the negroes a helpless case except under their management, and now he thinks It would have been better to leave slave ry alone than to do what we did. Rut I told him I could look back over a family Wstory of two and one half centuries and see the harm slave ry hart done my family. That I abhor slavery as a tiieft, If it could be gotten rid of in no other way. I do not regret the fearful price the South paid to get rid of it. Thomaa I N'elson Page's stories of th .oft Mde f slavery have no charm fr me. They are true to lift; and tell only the !uve holders better than their Iti stiiutlons, Just as Buckle wt the Ktvnch were. There Is one thing that every Northern eiltier run sav to stop the .-rime of negroes against white wo men and children, ami tt Is this: ' Whenevw you mop your crimes the white people will stop their lynching and burning.'
