John Sharp j& William Meet? Issu* Squarely. * John Sharp Williams has, in a sin gle short and impromptu speeob, laid bare the scheme of the Republican politicians to bring forward the raoe question in the closing days of this session in the hope that thereby they might once more utilize the bloody shirt to bide from the voters of the eountry the graver issues of the oom ing campaign. First, Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, came to the front with tho usual New England speech in criticism of the South. Thou came Scott, of Kansas, and Bartholdt, of Missouri, all of thoiu evidently speak ing in accordance with a prearranged plau to stir up the old issues against tho South. Mr. Williams at no other time hus demonstrated his ability as a leader more oloarly than in tho prompt and decisivo way he accepted the ohallcngo and in his manner of doing it. It is one of Mr. Williams's ambi tions that his leadership will result in bringing tho people of tho North to a fairer understanding of condi tions at the ?South. Ho is no apologist, nor does he indulge in any of the wild aud reckless outbursts whioh have too ofton characterized the speeches of nome Southern men. He moots tho issue fnirly and squarely and prc en t M the side of tho South in a way calculated to appoal to nil fair and right thinking men evorywhere. Following up some of tho state ments of Mr. Gillett, Mr. Scott and Mr. Bartholdt-tho later of whom had charged that Thomas Jefferson ato with a negro-Mr. Williams said : "Thoro aro just two things that tho Republican party cannot do. One of them is to delioot tho country in this, our Lord's year of grace, 1994, from the consideration of real issues, from tho revision and conservative and business liko reduction of tho tariff, from thc consideration of reciprocity, from tho aonsideratioir of trust evils, and from all the other live issues that you havegot to meet us with. There is ono other thing that tho Republican party cannot do, and it might just ns well understand that now as any other time. There is one thing that tho entire world cannot do. "It cannot make the South consent to regard social equality as a thing to be desired, and it cannot make tho South consent-and I am speak ing now simply as a Southerner-it cannot make tho South consent to tho proposition that tho 'rights' of tho negro consist in giving him power to govern the white man of the South. Il is absolutely falso that his rights aro not recognized at tho south much more abundantly than any where else-his God-given, inaliena ble, born rights, the right to earn his living in thc sweat of his brow, thc right to an equel opportunity indus trially upon the surface of this oarth, tho right to fair trial when he is tried before tho courts of tho country, the right to equal administration of thc laws when his property rights aro as sailed. "Thoro is no .right* anywhere for a man to vote. It is statutory privi lege conferred upon tho individual in tho interest of society, and no man who is not competent to exercise that statutory privilege wisely ought to be armed with it, because it ceases then to be a shelter for his own pro tection and becomes a sword for tho destruction of everybody else. .Tho gentleman from Massachusetts, com ing from a long lino of aristocratic ancestors, seems to share tho reason which perhaps has led tho other gentleman who has faced tho world ander the saino circumstances, who now sits in thc White House, and brought them to the same conclusion ; and that conclusion, if I was going to express it, would be this: Negro association and negro lunching and negro dining cannot hurt a 'Gillett ; it cannot hurt a .Roosevelt.' SOCIAL AND POLITICAL EQUALITY. "What I am dwelling upon as tho second thing that tho Republican party cannot do is this : Tiley can not persuade Southern white men that it is not a good thing, that it is not a wiso thing, that it is not a humane thing, to perpetuate in the Routh the white man's civilization and to perpetuate tho two things upon which it is founded-tho white man's code of ethics and the sanctity of the white man's family lifo, both peculiar to him alone of all races. And, further, whether you know it or not, we know that political equality -wo learned it from years of ex perience when the man who got tho negro voto in the South was tho man who atc willi negroes, who slept with negroes, and who married negroes that political equality loads to social equality; and whether you know it or not, tho world recognizes tho fact that social equality leads finally to a lack of racial integiity and racial purity. Now, there bas not been a word said upon this t-ide of tiie house except on that line. "The gentleman from Kansas tells us that nobody has been making an attack upon UH. The whole history of your parly, when you dare, has been the history of sn attack on us and our peaee and civilization, and but for tho lesson which you learned when yo? attempted to foist the force bill upon ibo country, and which at tempt put your party out of power by such an ono'mous majority in tho succeeding Congresses, many of you would be trying lor partisan reasons to do the same thing over again now. "Now, Mr. Chai)man, I know and you know that when you raise this question you excite tho passions of a good Southern people upon this side of the chamber, and I believe that is your intention. Now, the gentleman from Missouri this morning road from the memoir? of one Melbourn, a ne gro, who would have you believe, after Mr. Jefferson was dead, that he ato dinner with him. Would any body of common sense in this coun try believo that an old Virgina planter and slaveholder ate dinnor with a negro at his table? Everybody with common sense knows that if this negro ate dinnor at Monticello he ste it iu Mr. Jefferson'! kitchen and * Of * IS, MISSISSIPPI. not at Mr. Jefferson's table with Mr. Jefferson or his family. Tho gentle man from Missouri knows that. That book was published after the 'apostle' whom the gentlemen say I worship-Mr. Jefferson---was dead ; when it did not lie within his power to deny it. There is no man here that does not know, as a matter of common oense, that no Southern planter and slave* owner ate dinner with a negro. Now if any of you want to oat lunoh with any negroes, or red Indians, or diggers, or Chinese, or Japanese, or with anybody ehe you want to, that is your privilege ; not i\ very high privilege, but, at any rate, yours. ' "Hut is it not our privilege to have Our opinion of it? "Provided you do not dine with negroes ostentatiously and arrogantly, as if to teach the poor 'benighted people of the barbarous South' an objeot lesson in the (higher civiliza tion,' it is your affair. When you come to do it in that way, you are a little bit passing beyond your own social privileges. SOUTH KNOWS ITS DUTT. "Now, I want to say a few more words and I am doue, and I ask that 1 have time to finish those few words. The gentleman from Kansas has said something about ?lifting up the negro raco.' I say the gentleman from Kansas is right. Uuless he is lifted up tho entire country in which he lives is going down to a certain ex tent, and it is well for tho white race to know-and I am satisfied thnt the white race down South knows-its duty and appreciates its duty. They must be lifted up ; but do you imagino that while we are lifting them up upon the ladder of progress from ono rung to another that we are going to romaiu upon the rung whore they are-to whioh they havo been lifted ? "Is thero a mau horo who knows any thing about brooding of cattle, horses, or meu who is not awaro of the fact that raco traits and tondenoios aro just aa ineradicable as color of skin or the nature of tho hair? Ono is an outward and visible sign of whioh tho other is the in ward and spiritual reality. Wo aro going to Hft thom up with a giant's strength, but wo aro not going to treat them like a giant, brutally or irrationally. We are going to lift thom upgontly, conserva tively, sanely, without danger to society or to civilization. Wo have lifted them up. ?"Go to-day, or if you had baen living iu 1805 you could have gone then, when the darkey had just emerged from slavery to his old homo in Africa, and compare him hero with himsolf thero. I per I Bonally havo tho kindest fooling toward him. I am a mau who is popular with darkies, and I am glad of it. I am popu lar with thom bocauso I treat them woll. But if you had gone back to"that date evou and then compared tho colored man who had boon raised in tho United States by Southern white pooplo in a oondition ot slavery with those from whose midst ho was taken from tho Guinoa and Congo coast of Africa, and all over Africa, you would havo discovered this: A greater raco of progress toward something Uko civilization, or at any rate a veneering of civilization, upon tho part of the negro in titree hundred yoars than any other people over mado from a state of savagery and barbarism in state of freedom even. Ile bas not progressed, morally at leaat, so rapidly since emancipation. A IiKMAIiKAni.K 1 >1 l l'KltKNC 10. "I wnut to notioo one thing said by tho gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Gillett,) and then I aimil sit < own. Tho gentleman from Massachusetts the other day said ho 'did not deny the existence of raco pr?judice in tho North as woll as in tho South,' and be was right in that, the only ditTeronco being, as nearly as I can got at it, that in the North when race prejudice is aroused it takes its ven geance upon the entire negro race in its neighborhood, and wbou aroused in the South it takes its vengeance on the par ticular singled-out individual-upon the criminal. Thoro ?B not a single instance of tho burning of negro quarters in a Southern town. Tbore ?B not an instance of running amuck against the entire African population. Thero have been many in tho North, one quite recently. "The gentleman used the phrase, 'race prejudice in both sect ions of tho coun try;' but I say for my part that it is not 'prejudice' 1 say that it is a conclusion of experience arrived at onductively whoever tho white raco has been faced by anothor raco in sufficient numbers to neeessit ate arriving at a conclusion. He said ho did not deny tho existence of prejudice, but ho said what he disliked about us was that wo were not 'discour aging' its existence. He said it was 'un fortunate' Hight thoro I want to take issue with him. Tho Spaniards did not sh H e our 'prejudice' in tho Wost Indies or in Central America or in Mexico. The l'ortugcso did not share it iu Brazil. "Tho English-speaking man aa a raoe had it everywhere ho wont, and had he not had it in elovon great States of this Union, to-day thero would be a hybrid ized population, a disintegrated sooial condition, and a lack of civilisation, of racial capacity for tho highest civiliza tion which exists to-day in the West Indies and in Mexico, and wherever the white man ba? forgotten the pride of his j birthright and forgotten that ho was a whiie man, in tho forofront of civiliza tion mid iu tho forofront of tho march of time, with full dotormination to carry out tho work that God has glvon him to do aa a raco, superior mentally and morally to all tho other races tho world has ever seen, a race whoso Shakespeare^ M????i??R Timbers of oak keep the old homestead standing through the years.

They will ooour up North; but they are occurring leas and Uss, I hope ana believe; and one thing wo are wring to remember is this: That God has givon us a trust toward tbis race of poople. "It may be a truat to act as a school master rather than aa an equal. We be lieve it is, but it is a trust, and we are going tc exeroise the trust to the best of our' ability and perform our duty to the best of our ability. We have already made more out of the negro than he has ever made out of himself in his own habitat, free, and with the ability to develop along bi? racial lines, according to his raoe traits and tendencies, aud we are going to make more out of him yet; but weare not going to have a hybridized South, we are not going to recolonize, however mistakenly and however inno cent!) a man may take the position, any man aa a friend of ours, or of the race which we represent, who would have us have mixed schools, social equality, or nogro domination. "Now, Mr. Chairman, to sumo little, extent I have fallon into the very pitfall that waa ?et for us and against which I wa? ?elf-warned ; but I have tried to fall into it in such a way as that the country may understand fully that I was speak ing upon that particular subject, aa a Southerner. The very bost friend tho darkey baa ever had in this world or ever will have is 'io Southern gentleman. He has takeu caro of him In sickness. He does it now. Ho bas taken care of and buried him when he was dead. He does it now. He treats him kindly wherever he can-and he generally oan and tt? per oent of the negro raoe in the South is doolie, well behaved, and kindly, also. "Now and then when ono breaks looso he becomes, il seems, more fiendish than a white man of like appetities, and there is on our ?ide, as In evory people numeri cally Inferior, surrounded by a horde of veneered savages, or by a raoe for the moat part veneered savages, a disposition now and then to resort to the rod rather than to reason. That oannot be helped; it oannot be oradioated from human na ture-not now, at any rate, though it may be after a while. "And when time shall have gone on and the negro race shall have developed to the level on wbloh we stand now, if it ever does-and by the way, if it doos, it will devolop becauBO its men will have become aa brave and as intelligent as our men: lt will develop because tte womon will have become as pure, as ohaato, as home-keeping, and as intelligent as our women-if that time ever comes the white race will be even then just as far in advance of him aa it is to-day, because the real progressive race of the world is not going to ceaae to progress.

Columbia, April 19.-Twenty-five thou sand dollars is the amount fouud against the Seabord Air Line to-day, and the verdict is the talk of the town to-night. Fits William McKay was an employee of tho Seaboard, and while aotiug as brake man foll between the cars near Columbia. His leg waa terribly crushed so that it was amputated near the hipbone, ren dering an artificial limb impossible. Suit was brought for $30,000 by the parents of tho boy. The trial took up two days.

The Columbia State makes the point that certain trustees of Winthrop college are ineligible to serve on the board, be-*! cause tho constitution provided that "no person shall hold two oflicos of honor and profit at tho samo time," and it is further stated that only two out of the Seveu elected member M have taken the. oath prescribed by the constitution and been regularly commissioned by the Gov ernor. Senator Tillman was re-elected a trustee of Winthrop college this year, but be has not taken tho oath of office as a trustee nor received his commission as such. It is certainly due to tho people of tho State that some explanation be made of this singular state of affairs. If tho constitution is being violated in this respect by one who has sworn to support it, what are wo to expeot from others less intelligent? We appreciate the valuable services rendered by Senator Tillman as a trusten of Winthrop, but these services do not outweigh tho duty of every oitizen to sustain tho constitu tion and observe tho laws of the State. Surely there must, bo a better reason for his reraainiug on tho board than has boeu yet assigned, and if there is a misconception of his positiou it is time that the public should be made aquaintod with the facts.-Greenville Mountaineer.
